JOHN W. BYORNI <br />EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR <br />LARRY MAGLIOZZI <br />DEPUTY DIRECTOR <br />AREA PLAN COMMISSION OF ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, IN <br />227 W. JEFFERSON BLVD. ROOM 1 140 COUNTY-CITY BLDG. SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 (574) 235 - 9571 <br />Wednesday, March 19, 2014 S S I <br />The Honorable Council of the City of South Bend <br />4th Floor, County-City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />P3 D- 1`1 <br />RE: A combined public hearing on a proposed ordinance of Cosimo LLC and Maria B. LLC to zone from SF2 <br />Single Family & Two Family District to MF1 Urban Corridor Multifamily District, seeking a Special <br />Exception Use for a group residence for up to 6 unrelated persons; and seeking the following three variances: <br />1) from the required Type A perimeter landscaping to a wood fence as shown on the site plan; 2) from the <br />required foundation landscaping to none; and 3) from the required paved parking surface to gravel, property <br />located at 1021 and 1023 Talbot Street, City of South Bend - APC# 2696 -14. <br />Dear Council Members: <br />I hereby Certify that the above referenced ordinance of Cosimo LLC and Maria B. LLC. was legally advertised on <br />Thursday, March 06, 2014 and that the Area Plan Commission at its public hearing on Tuesday, March 18, 2014 <br />took the following action: <br />Upon a motion by John McNamara, being seconded by Richard Warner and unanimously carried, a <br />proposed ordinance of Cosimo LLC and Maria B. LLC to zone from SF2 Single Family & Two Family <br />District to MF I Urban Corridor Multifamily District, property located at 1021 and 1023 Talbot Street, <br />City of South Bend, is sent to the Common Council with an unfavorable recommendation. The <br />proximity of this area to the campus of the University of Notre Dame had prompted the conversion of <br />many of the homes to rental properties. Since the original plan for this neighborhood in 1998, one of the <br />overall goals was to reduce the number of rentals and support the return to single - family home ownership. <br />The concept for the Talbot and Duey Street blocks as offices is a long term proposal and would require an <br />extensive redevelopment activity of the total area. Until that occurs, single - family home ownership should <br />be supported. <br />Upon a motion by John McNamara, being seconded by Daniel Brewer and unanimously carried, seeking a <br />Special Exception Use for a group residence for up to 6 unrelated persons is sent to the Common Council <br />with an unfavorable recommendation. <br />The deliberations of the Area Plan Commission and points considered in arriving at the above decision are shown in <br />the minutes of the public hearing, and will be forwarded to you at a later date to bg,lpa e a Dart of this reoort. <br />Sincerely, <br />ohn W.
