<br />REPORT OF BUILDING DEPARTMENT
<br />Common Council of the
<br />Civil City of South Bend, Indiana
<br />Attention: City Clerk - City Hall
<br />Gentlemen:
<br />July 13, 1959
<br />In response to your request, I am submitting herein a report on possible violation of those ordinances under my
<br />jurisdiction perpetrated by the owner(s) /and or occupant of the property located on the North East corner of Lincoln-
<br />way East and Twyckenham Drive in the City of South Bend, Indiana.
<br />Please.be advised that I have investigated the subject property and have found the following.
<br />1. That 185 feet of frontage on Lincolnway East on the North side of said street is zoned "B" Residential as to use.
<br />2. That the property is presently occupied by the firm known as Allied Motor Sales Used Cars and is more specifically
<br />defined as that property fronting on Lincolnway East on North side of said street and bounded by the East line of
<br />Caroline Street extended, West to the East line of Twyckenham Drive.
<br />3. That the property is presently occupied for the purpose of resale of used automobiles and is presently being sub-
<br />let for the purpose of commercial advertising.
<br />4. That the aforesaid use of the property, as defined in part 3, is a violation of Ordinance #3702, Section No. 4,
<br />as such pertains to permissable uses on property zoned "B" Residential as to use.
<br />Consequently, I hereby assure you that action will be taken by this Department, insofar as it is capable, of insuring'
<br />compliance with said zoning ordinance.
<br />However, there exists the possibility that there may have been further violation of other ordinances of this City
<br />by virtue of the fact that some evidence exists which indicates that a portion of the natural river bed has been
<br />filled in for the purpose of extending the illegal commercial use. Since this possible violation does not come
<br />within the realm of police powers designated to this Department, we shall refer this matter to the Park Department
<br />and to the Board of Public Works and Safety for their consideration, with a recommendation for possible remedial
<br />action.
<br />I trust that this information will answer satisfactorily any question which you may have had pertaining to the
<br />subject property, but if you should have further question, please contact me.
<br />VLL: bb
<br />Yours truly;
<br />/s/ Verner L. Lane
<br />VERNER L. LANE
<br />Building Commissioner
<br />Councilman Erler made a motion that the report be accepted and placed on file and further that this violation should
<br />be called to the attention of the Park Department and such steps be taken in order to clarify this condition and
<br />return the property to the City of South Bend. Councilman Muszynski seconded the motion. Motion carried.
