HAHN ) Councilman Muszynski made a motion that the report be accepted. Councilman Glass seconded the motion. Motion carried. COMMUNICATION To: The Common Council of the City of South Bend Res Amendment of Zoning Ordinance - (76 acre tract lying north of Lincoln Way West and West of Bendix Drive) Gentlemens We are returning herewith the above subject ordinance with the unanimous recommendation from the Plan Commission that your hoborable boor pass this with favorable vote just as it was originally recommended to you* We respectfully point out the following errors in your objections: 1. The Plan Commission held public hearing and took recognition of objections of people in the neighborhood, but made their decision by weighing their objections against the total over- all immediate benefit to the city as well as the far - reaching effect of future development, council may assume that this careful consideration is given to every proposed change that is recommended to them for passage. 2. "Petitioners did not state what was td be built.` No ordinance, local or state, requires such a commitment nor could control such a commitment. The only control, and therefore the only possible consideration to be given by either the council or the plan commission, is the general broad use possibility described in a given use classification under the zoning ordinance. 39 The relative position of this area to the airport is not a consideration in that it is not covered by ordinance of any kind. The Civil Aeronautics Administration has established a glide angle of 1 ft. to 50 ft., and as long as no obstruction goes into this platy all conditions imposed will have been satisfied. Inasmuch as none of your objections indicated technical errors in the deliberations of the Plan Commission, we have no alternative except to again reoommend this ordinance for your favorable action. Very truly yours, City Plan Commission (Continued) D. Moomaw, Secretary
