Dunfee, Jr., Attorney at Law, Barnes and Thornburg, Sixth Floor,.lst Source Bank Center, South Bend, Indiana, representing Metal Resources Corporation, 1147 Prairie Avenue, South Bend, Indiana has submitted to the Board a Petition for Amended License and for Resolution Waiving Setback Requirements for the Metal Resources Corporation. Mr. Dunfee was in.attendance at the meeting and introduced Mr. Daniel M. Rifkin, President of Metal Resources Corporation. Mr. Dunfee began his presentation to the Board by displaying an aerial photograph of the property in question with parcels outlined for clarification. He advised that the Petition submitted asks the Board of Public Works for two things. First, to amend the license previously granted in 1980 and second, to add a second parcel to the site. He further advised that the second aspect of the Petition requests the Common Council to not only approve the amendment but to give a waiver of the 1,000 foot distance requirement between the scrap yard and certain zoning use districts. Mr. Dunfee advised members of the Board that in 1980 the Petition for License was in the name of Bremen Iron and Metal Company, Inca but subsequent to that time the name of the operation has changed to Metal Resources Corporation. He stated that Metal Resources is a subsidiary of the Superior Companies located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He presented to the Board a corporate brochure of Superior Companies and pointed out a.photograph of the Fort Wayne operation.. He further advised that Metal Resources Corporation is a family -owned operation with Mr. Daniel Rifkin's father being the President and Chief Executive Officer of Superior Companies. As background information, Mr. Dunfee pointed out that the site of the current operation was selected in 1979/1980 largely because of it being in an industrial area, close to other sources such as railroad trackage as well as having the correct zoning. He advised that the amendment to the South Bend ordinance concerning the waiver of the 1000 foot distance requirement was enacted about two months before Metal Resources started putting parcels of property together for the operation and said ordinance amendment prohibited operation within 1000 feet of residential zoned parcels of property. Referring to Exhibit B attached to the Petition, Mr. Dunfee pointed out that the two areas outlined in green ink are within the 1000 feet which affects only a part of Parcel I. The remainder of Parcel I was grandfathered as there was a pre-existing scrap yard on that parcel and therefore the ordinance could not apply to it. He stated that only a portion of Parcel II is subject to the 1000 foot requirement. Mr. Dunfee further stated that the 1000 foot distance requirement applies to only one scrap and junk dealer, that being Metal Resources Corporation. He stated further, after 1980 the Common Council, in an attempt to induce another company into South Bend, amended the ordinance to provide that the Common Council could waive the 1000 foot distance requirement. As stated in the ordinance, one of three standards must be met for the waiver to be granted. He indicated that Metal Resources will not conduct its scrap yard operation closer than 500 feet of the existing residentially zoned area and stated that consideration by this Board is only one step in the process which Metal Resources is going through. He stated that Metal Resources is seeking EDC bond financing, an amended license, waiver of the distance require- ment, tax abatement and finally, the closing of the EDC bond financing. Mr. Dunfee stated that he knows of no complaints filed regarding the operation on the site and indicated that he has asked the Department of Code Enforcement and the Fire Department Inspection Bureau to submit new inspections reports to the Board. In concluding his presentation, Mr. Dunfee stated that he considers the Metal Resources operation one of the country's finest businesses and that the operation will provide 75 new jobs to the community. I' REGULAR MEETING MARCH 26, 1984 Mr. Leszczynski inquired if anyone else present wished to speak either for or against the request for this amended license. The Board was presented with a letter from Mr. George Divjak, President of the Rum Village Neighborhood Assocation, 829 West Calvert Street, South Bend, Indiana, asking the Board to take into consideration the effect of this waiver on individuals living nearby. The letter stated that philosophically, the Association is against waivers of variances of existing ordinances because they may lead to unknown consequences in the future and asked that the Board take into account the effects of this variance on nearby residents. Mr. Divjak's letter further stated that the Association relies on the good intentions of the Board in this regard To clarify the issue at hand, Mr. Hill stated that the waiver relates to three different areas, two ares within Parcel I which are not grandfathered under the 1980 license, and a third parcel consisting of much of Parcel II. Mr. Dunfee advised that it applies to all of Parcel II. Mr. Hill further stated that some portions of Parcel II are within 160 feet of -a residential area and to bring Metal Resources within the ordinance, they must exclude a portion of Parcel 'II from use in a similar fashion to that which was done in 1980. At that time approval was subject to submission of a statement that the operation would not encroach into two areas. Ms. Katherine Barnard, Director of the Department of Code Enforce- ment, was present and advised that inspection of the operation conducted by her office revealed that Metal Resources Corporation complies with the ordinance except that the scrapyard is approx- imately 160 feet from an "A" Residence District. It was noted that the inspection compiled by the Fire Department Inspection Division revealed that the operation had no violations. In response to Mr. Leszczynski's inquiry as to what the Board can grant, Mr. Hill advised that the Board has authority to recommend approval of the license of an amendment to this license. The Board does not have the authority to grant a waiver and pursuant to the.ordinance requirements, Metal Resources would have to meet one of three criteria to receive that waiver from the Common Council. Mr. Hill stated that in order to waive the distance requirement a resolution of the Council must incorporate one of the following for consideration of a waiver: (1) that the majority of the business operation would take place within an enclosed structure, (2) that the business would be located beyond one-half of the footage require- ment or (3) that a majority of the owners within the 1000 foot distance give approval. Mr. Hill indicated that the Petition presented by Metal Resources suggests that they would arrange to bring all scrap metal business within the 500 feet limitation for Parcel II and in fact that would be the only way this Board could grant an amendment to the license. He stated that it is within the discretion of the Common.Council to grant the waiver based on one of the three previously mentioned criteria being met. Mr. Hill stated that the Common Council would have the final authority to approve the granting of the license and they would address the 1000 foot distance matter. Board Attorney Carolyn V. Pfotenhauer stated that the Board of Public Works has the responsibility for making sure the technical aspects of the ordinance are complied with and typically provides the Council with a resolution and any conditions for consideration by the Common Council. Mr. Leszczynski inquired of Mr. Dunfee if Metal Resources would have to come before the Board again concerning the building they intend to erect. Mr.. Dunfee answered no to that question and stated that the building Metal Resources plans to build will be used as a warehouse/office structure. (This point was clarified later in the discussion). REGULAR MEETING MARCH 26 1984 Mr. Hill asked Mr. Dunfee if the legal description attached to the Petition as Exhibit C is a description of'the entire outside perimeter of the property. Mr. Dunfee indicated that it was the entire parcel. Mr. Hill stated that based on the Amended Petition, it appeared the Board would have to require a modified legal description reflecting the property covered by the license and that legal description should incorporate the 500 foot limitation. Mr. Vance indicated that Councilman Zakrewski was in attendance and inquired if he had any questions he would like answered. Mr. Zakrewski inquired as to where the residences were located and was informed that they were located to the south across the railroad tracks. Mr. Vance asked if Metal Resources has had any contact with the residentsofthe area. Mr. Dunfee stated that no contact has been made currently but they will be contacted again in the future. Mr. Hill stated there are two areas that were not included in the original license but do not present a problem because of the distance from the residential areas. Mr. Hill made a motion that Metal Resources be instructed to amend the previously issued license to include those areas originally excluded from the license for Parcel I. Mr. Vance seconded the motionand it carried. South Bend Tribune Reporter James Wensits inquired how far the Metal Resources operation was from the residential district. He was told that they are approximately 750 feet from the south and 800 feet on the north. Mr. Hill indicated that the matter of Parcel II was of major concern as it involves a substantial residential area. He stated that he believes that certainly the Common Council should have the opportunity to review this but that any license granted for that area should only be granted for an area that would not bring the operation closer than 500 feet. He stated further that he believes that certainly this is a technical requirement that the operation should not encroach into that area. Mr. Hill made a motion that the license be amended to include that portion of Parcel II not closer than 500 feet of the residential area and that the approval or the amendment of the license in the area be subject to the submission of a modified legal description that would reflect this prohibition. Mr. Leszczynski seconded the motion and it carried. Mr. Hill asked Mr. Dunfee what documents he has submitted to the Common Council. He stated that the Petition which the Board has received was also submitted to the Common Council and that a Resolution was given to Common Council Attorney Kathleen Cekanski- Farrand for review and filing by her this week. Mr. Hill stated that he would prefer that the resolution be prepared by the Clerk of the Board of Public Works and that said resolution would include the language he referred to previously. Mr. Hill made a motion that the Clerk of the Board of Public Works be instructed to prepare a resolution showing the amendment of the license to include the three areas previously referred to and that the resolution be forwarded to the Common Council for its considera- tion. Mr. Vance seconded the motion and it carried. Board Attorney Ms. Pfotenhauer stated that she would like to clarify one point to Mr. Dunfee and stated that if Metal Resources wishes to build a building that will encroach into the area below the 500 feet, that they would again have to come before the Board and the Common Council. Mr. Hill agreed that the only way Metal Resources can conduct operations within the 500 feet, is by receiving a separate waiver for a building that.houses the operations of the 1 1 REGULAR MEETING MARCH 26, 1984 yard. Mr. Dunfee asked whether in the interest of efficiency and cost whether the resolution being prepared could include a Board recommendation that no activity be conducted within the 500 feet unless it was within an enclosed structure. Mr. Hill answered that this is the most sensitive one of the three areas that the Common Council will be reviewing. He stated that he would prefer that Metal Resources return to the Board at a later time concerning this matter as the Board wants to make sure there is a very definite line drawn. Mr. bunfee stated that Metal Resources is the only scrapyard dealer subject to any of these regulations and as a matter of public record wants the Board to know that they are doing a good job and they want everyone to know that. He stated that Metal Resources is happy to abide by the findings of the Board and Council but does not want to be in a position to come back before the Board at a later time concerning the building of a warehouse/office and have it stated that the request was pre- viously denied by the Board. Mr. Hill indicated that he wished the record to reflect that this is not a denial by the Board, and stated that if Metal Resources plans to construct in the area in the future, the criteria that they are going to have to rely on is that it be all enclosed. He stated that the Board at this point is going to report to the Common Council that there will be no immediate activity in the area subject to another independent request in the future.
