corner of the site. This will be limited for use by cars only and no trucks. All deliveries to the site will be <br /> from Mayflower Road or Western Avenue.The Petitioners have attempted to work with the property owner <br /> at the southeast corner of the project site The property is being used for a Tavern, is zoned residential and <br /> appears to be a legal-non-conforming use With the requested Vacation of Huron Street, the Petitioners <br /> have designed their site to allow for continued access to the Tavern from the north by providing a driveway <br /> between the two properties.This design will allow for the adjacent owner to continue to access parking <br /> spaces on the north side of the Tavern building that are mostly located in the public right-of-way and for <br /> any truck deliveries to the property. The design layout will also allow for patrons of the adjacent property <br /> to have access onto Mayflower Road or out to Hollywood Boulevard.The adjacent property will still have <br /> an existing driveway opening at the southeast corner of the property which gives a second access as well to <br /> Mayflower Road. <br /> At the present time the petition property is located wholly within the unincorporated area of St. <br /> Joseph County and has a mix of County zoning classifications of Single-family Residential and <br /> Commercial. The Petitioners have been working with the staff's of the Area Plan Commission,the Project <br /> Advisory Team(PAT),the Department of Community Investment and the Building Department.Based on <br /> those meetings, the Petitioners decided to bring the project site into the City of South Bend. In order to <br /> accomplish that,task, several procedures are required. The first was to submit to the County Council a <br /> Petition to Vacate Huron Street from Mayflower Road on the east to Hollywood Boulevard on the west. <br /> This would allow for the present bisection of the site with a public right-of-way to be eliminated and allows <br /> for the site to be laid out efficiently for internal circulation as shown on the site plan: The project site would <br /> also be required to be annexed be to brought into the City limits. As part of annexation the project is also <br /> being requested to be rezoned to the CB Community Business District which will allow for the proposed <br /> Grocery Store use and the existing Restaurant facility. The last part of the process is to request several <br /> Variances that will allow for flexibility on the development of the property as shown but still meet the <br /> intent of the City's zoning codes. The Petitioners worked with all the parties mentioned above to create a <br /> development that is functional and will be an asset for the surrounding neighborhoods. <br /> With regards to the required Variances needed for the project, the Petitioners are requesting the <br /> following: <br /> A).From the required Minimum Residential Bufferyard of twenty(20)feet to twelve(12)feet for parking <br /> on the southeast and south property lines as shown; <br /> B).From the requirement that Outdoor seating shall not be located between a building line and a residential <br /> bufferyard to allow for outdoor seating between the south building line and the south residential <br /> bufferyard; <br /> C).From the maximum height of thirty-six(36)inches in height for a fence located in a minimum front <br /> yard to six(6)feet in height for a fence along Hollywood Boulevard; <br /> D).From the required screening of trash containers to none; <br /> E).From the requirement that trash containers not be located between the front facade of the primary <br /> building and the front lot line to allowing trash containers between the west facade of the primary <br /> building and the front(west)lot line; <br /> F).From the required"bail out"lane for drive through facilities to none; <br /> G).From the required landscaping of required perimeter yards and residential bufferyards to landscaping as <br /> shown on the site plan; <br /> H).From the required Foundation Landscaping to landscaping as shown on the site plan; <br /> I). From the required Off-Street Parking Area Screening to none on the east,west,or south parking areas; <br /> J). From the required no off-street loading between the front lot line and the front facade to allowing <br /> loading spaces between front(west)lot line and the west building facade; <br /> The Petitioners request for the Variances,are based on the following statements: <br /> A). From the required Minimum Residential Bufferyard of twenty(20)feet to twelve(12)feet for parking <br /> on the southeast and south property lines as shown. The proposed plan will have parking for employees at <br /> the southeast corner of the site. The Petitioners plan to plant dense evergreen trees along those portions of. <br /> the property line to buffer the parking from the adjacent properties. The Petitioners also plan to install <br /> fencing along those property lines to limit access to the site. Approval of this variance should not have an <br /> adverse impact on surrounding properties. <br />
