<br />AN ORDINANCE FOR AN ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION
<br />FROM THE REDEVELOPMENT FUND TO ACCOUNT NO. 261,
<br />"OTHER CONTRACTUAL SERVICES" IN THE DEPARTMENT
<br />OF REDEVELOPMENT."
<br />This being the time heretofore set for public hearing on the above ordinance, proponents and
<br />opponents were given an opportunity to be heard thereon. Mr. B. J. Ashenfelter, Executive Directo
<br />Redevelopment Department explained the need for the appropriation. He said this would defray
<br />the cost of providing cul-de-sac treatment to Chapin and Catalpa Streets immediately south of
<br />the Industrial Expansion Project (Project, Ind. R -56). Residents of the area had remonstrated
<br />at a Board of Works public hearing and in cooperation with the Engineering Dept. after an inves-
<br />tigation, it was determined that the two streets should be in a cul -de -sac on the south side
<br />of the railroad to provide turn around space for those residents since the two streets are ex
<br />tremely narrow in width. The residents objected to the closing and vacation of these streets
<br />without certain treatment being made to the streets south of the railroad -- Vacation Resolution
<br />No. 3331. Miss Virginia Guthrie, Executive Secretary, South Bend Civic Planning Association,
<br />stated that the people did have a problem and creating a cul -de -sac means -as a result of the
<br />Cummings Industrial Development - -these people will have an opportunity to turn around without
<br />interferring with parking of the people who live in that area. In response to Councilman Laven's
<br />inquiry whether or not this was approved by the Area Plan Commission, Mr. Ashenfelter stated
<br />this was approved by the Commission. Councilman Palmer asked if signs were posted informing
<br />people of the turn around--Mr—Ashenfelter said signs have already been installed. Councilman
<br />Reinke made a motion, seconded by Councilman Allen, that the Ordinance go to the Council as
<br />favorable. Motion carried. 8 ayes, 0 nays, 1 absent (Councilman Wise).
