<br />(REPORT OF CITY PLANNING COMMISSION:
<br />Honorable Common Council
<br />City of South Bend,
<br />South Bend, Indiana
<br />!Gentlemen:
<br />5 April 1957
<br />The attached petition of Associates Investment Company to rezone land at the intersection of Esther and Ruskin Streets
<br />from "B" Residential use District and "A" Height and Area District to "D" Light Industrial Use District and "E" Height
<br />and Area District being:
<br />Lots 1, 2 and 3 in John Adams First Addition located-at the northeast corner of Ruskin and Esther Streets,
<br />AND
<br />Also a tract of land south of Ruskin Street, to -wit:
<br />Commencing on the south line of Ruskin Street at a point 136 feet East of the east line of Esther Street,
<br />thence South 297 feet; thence East 332.45-feet;'thence North 297 feet to the south line of Ruskin Street, thence
<br />West 333.46 feet, more or less, along the south-line of Ruskin Street to the place of beginning.
<br />This petition was legally advertised under date of 25 March 1957 and given public hearing under date of 4 April 1957.
<br />The following action was taken:
<br />After due consideration the Commission found that the general area south of Ruskin Street is residential as to
<br />use and zoning, that the subject area is adequate in size, shape and area for residential development; that
<br />light industrial use of subject area would be an unwarranted and unjustifiable intrusion into a residential
<br />area; that no general neighborhood need was shown for increased industrial land and that in fact, ample
<br />industrial land suitable for the purpose proposed in Associates Investment Company petition existed in the light
<br />industrially zoned tract north of Ruskin Street.
<br />The Commission further found that aforesaid Lots 1, 2, and 3 of John Adams First Addition are in a block which
<br />is predominately zoned for light industrial purposes and that the best use of said land would be light industrial
<br />It was therefore mooed by Mr. Van DeVeire, seconded by Mr. Muszynski that the Planning Commission recommend Lots
<br />1, 2, and 3.of John Adams First Addition favorably to the Common Council and further that petition area south
<br />of Ruskin Street be unfavorably recommended. ) tL
<br />(Remonstrance petition with 30 signatures is attached to the petition.
<br />II Very truly yours,
<br />CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
<br />/s/ Robert L. Huff
