Laven, President South Bend Common Council 2628 S. Michigan Street South Bend, Indiana Subject: Proposed rezoning of property for Ayr Way Store located on the north side of Ireland Road east of U. S. 31 Dear Mr. Laven: Your letter dated October 18, 1968 outlining the City Council's reasons for rejecting the Area Plan Commission's favorable rezoning recommendation on the Ayr -Way petition was presented to the Commission at their regular monthly meeting of November 19, 1968. The Commission by a vote of 10 to 0 reiterated their favorable recommenda- tion on this rezoning for the following reasons (points 1, 2, 3, and 4 below are addressed to the four reasons outlined in the Council's letter): 1. Surrounding properties are deprived of convenient access and adequate safety as a result of existing conditions. Such conditions call for immediate improvement to facilitate traffic movements. Normal annual increases in traffic volumes can be expected to further aggrevate this problem and make the property in question less desirable for single family residential use. The improvements recommended by appropriate governmental departments was designed to improve the circulation problem in this area and to properly relate land use development and traffic movement.
