(4) The proposed use is compatible with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan. The Roseland, Indiana Comprehensive Plan's future land use map has planned this area as mixed use at State Road 933, as single family residential along Pendle and as open space to the east. The extent of this development adjacent to multiple land uses should not - with the recommendations noted above - impede the orderly development and improvement to the adjacent properties. 10. Petition of Five Corners, LLC. Based on information available prior to the Board meeting, the Staff recommends that the Special Exception be sent to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation. (1) The proposed use will not be injurious to the public health, safety, comfort, community moral standards, convenience or general welfare. The Special Exception Use is located on an existing sign structure (billboard) that is 40' tall. If the antennas were located on a structure that was 50' tall, they would be permitted without a Special Exception. (2) The proposed use will not injure or adversely affect the use of the adjacent area or property values therein. The use is an addition accessory use compatible with the mixed use district. It should not adversely affect the future development of the adjacent area. (3) The proposed use will be consistent with the character of the district in which it is located and the land uses authorized therein. The proposed use is located in a mixed use district that allows for a wide range of compatible uses. (4) The proposed use is compatible with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan. One of the objectives of The City of South Bend, Indiana Comprehensive Plan (November 2006) is to encourage the development of telecommunications infrastructure that enhances the City's level of communication and service. The special exception for the non -whip antennas is consistent with this objective. Furthermore, the zoning ordinance encourages the use of existing structures to accommodate telecommunication facilities. 11. Petition of Ruthane Donahue. Based on the information available prior to the Board meeting, the Staff recommends that the Special Use for group residence be sent to the County Council with an unfavorable recommendation. (1) The proposed use will be injurious to the public health, safety, comfort, community moral standards, convenience or general welfare. Based on the number of residents stated in the petition as potentially occupying the home, and discussion with the Health and Fire Departments, the property is not adequately sized for the Special Use as proposed. In 2011, the petitioner received approval for a replacement septic system based on a 6 bedroom residence. In a letter received by the Penn Township Fire Department, they expressed multiple public safety concerns, including overgrowth and obstructions that would inhibit their ability to access the property in case of emergency. The County Engineering Department notes that the site does not provide adequate parking and that many of the parking spots shown are either not viable or would require backing out in to the public right -of -way. Not only do the concerns of these agencies pose a health and safety concern for the residence of the home, but those of surrounding properties as well. SERVING ST. JOSEPH COUNTY.
