PUBLIC HEARING - LICENSE APPLICATION FOR MASSAGE ESTABLISHMENT
FOR JAPAN ORIENTAL HEALTH SPA. 229 NORTH LAFAYETTE BOULEVARD
This was the date set for the Board's public hearing on the applica-
tion for a Massage Establishment submitted by Jin Sung Chung to
operate a massage establishment at 229 North Lafayette Boulevard.
The Clerk tendered proofs of publication of Notice in the South
Bend Tribune and the Tri-County News which were found to be
sufficient.
Ms. Marie Plain, 1229 Ridgedale Road, South Bend, Indiana, Clerk of
the Session of First Presbyterian Church, 333 West Colfax Avenue,
South Bend, Indiana, was present and addressed the Board. Ms.
Plain stated that the Session discussed the matter of the Massage
Establishment and strongly protests the health spa. She further
stated that it has come to their attention that similar operations
conducted by this applicant in Kentwood and Grand Rapids, Michigan,
are covers for houses of illicit behavior and such operation is not
appropriate near the Church and in downtown South Bend. She further
advised that it has come to the attention of the church that the
owners of the premises at 229 North Lafayette Boulevard wish to
withdraw their lease with the above applicant. Ms. Plain advised
that on August 31, 1984, as Clerk of the Session of The First
Presbyterian Church, she sent a letter to Mr. Paul Roelke, Building
Commissioner, asking that the church be notified of any zoning
hearings or any other business that might relate to this matter.
As not enough time was available for a new letter to be written
to the Board, Ms. Plain presented Board members with a copy of
her letter to Mr. Roelke.
Mr. John Mihelich, 1122 Clermont Drive, South Bend, Indiana,
addressed the Board and advised that he is a member of the Board
of Trustees of The First Presbyterian Church. He stated that the
impact of such an establishment as that proposed would be enormous.
He advised that The First Presbyterian Church offers day car
services and is one-half block away from the proposed establishment.
Further, senior citizen housing and other churches are located in
the area and it would be highly inappropriate to have such an
establishment in South Bend.

REGULAR MEETING
SEPTEMBER 4, 1984
Mr. Burt Ford, residing at 1512 Wildflower, South Bend, Indiana,
and practicing law at 1800 Valley American Bank Building, South
Bend, Indiana, was present and advised that he is a member of
The First Presbyterian Church. He stated that he has reviewed
the application of the Japan Oriental Health Spa and under the
Section entitled CONVICTIONS the applicant stated N/A which he
considered inappropriate. He stated that if there were no
convictions the answer should have been NONE and therefore it
is his opinion that the application is not in compliance with
the ordinance requirements. In response to Mr. Ford's comments
regarding the answer of N/A listed on the application as not
being an appropriate response, Mr. Hill advised that as part of
the normal process of review of these applications, the Board of
Public Works initiates on its own a police records check of the
applicant which is an independent review of the applicant's
information.
Dr. Philip J. Sorensen, 1506 Woodmont, South Bend, Indiana, Pastor
of The First Presbyterian Church, addressed the Board and stated
that he would second all those comments made by members of the
Church. He stated that the potential use of the establishment
for prostitution or illicit sexual behavior would be impossible
for the Police Department to monitor and as these establishments
have a history of this kind of conduct it would have a very
negative impact in South Bend.
There being no one else present wishing to speak either for or
against the above referred to application for a Massage Establish-
ment, upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski, seconded by Mr. Hill
and carried, the public hearing on this matter was closed.
Mr. Hill stated that the Board appreciates all of the comments that
have been made today. He stated that in particular areas this
Board has broad discretion and in others it does not. He stated
that the Board must look at the zoning requirements and other
licensing procedures. Even though Board members might agree with
the negative impact this type of establishment may have in South
Bend, if the application is to be denied, the Board must have a
basis for the denial that can be legally sustained. He stated
that he is very sensitive to the points that have been raised but
the Board must limit its inquiry to the provisions that are based
in the licensing process. He stated that a police check on this
applicant has been provided by the Assistant Chief of Police and
that%as of August 15, 1984, the applicant had no record with the
South Bend Police Department. Based on reference having been
made to the conduct of the -applicant in other communities, Mr.
Hill suggested that the Board continue the matter of this applica-
tion for Massage Establishment submitted by Jin Sung Chung and
take it under advisement until further information can be obtained
as to what has been the history in other communities listed on the
application in which the applicant has had operations. He stated that
further information under the existing ordinance should be considered
by the Board.
Therefore, upon a motion made by Mr. Hill, seconded by Mr. Vance
and carried, the Massage Establishment License application of
Jin Sung Chung to operate the Japan Oriental Health Spa at 229
North Lafayette Boulevard, South Bend, Indiana, was taken under
advisement until further information regarding the history of
the applicant can be obtained through the Police Department.
PUBLIC HEARING - LICENSE APPLICATION FOR MASSAGE ESTABLISHMENT
FOR KIN JA ORIENTAL HEALTH SPA, 932 EAST IRELAND ROAD.
This was the date set for the Board's public hearing on the applica-
tion for a Massage Establishment submitted by Sonia Scheibe to
operate a Massage Establishment at 932 East Ireland Road. The
Clerk tendered proofs of publication of Notice in the South Bend
Tribune and the Tri-County News which were found to be sufficient.

REGULAR MEETING
SEPTEMBER 4. 1984
There being no one present wishing to speak either for or against
this license application, upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski,
seconded by Mr. Hill and carried, the public haring on this matter
was closed.
Based on comments heard by concerned citizens regarding the applica-
tion for Massage Establishment received from Jin.Sung Chung to
operate an establishment known as the Japan Oriental Health Spa
at 229 North Lafayette Boulevard, and since both applicants list
the same address of residence, upon a motion made by Mr.
Leszczynski, seconded by Mr. Hill and carried, this application
was taken under advisement and the matter continued until further
information regarding the prior history of the applicant can be
obtained through the Police Department.

the Board to submit a recommendation to the Common Council concern-
ing the Vacation Petition filed by Mr. John Oxian, 742 Sancome,

Bend Municipal Code Section 18.53.8, owners whose property abut
the proposed alley to be vacated were notified of the Board's
public hearing date.
Mr. John Oxian, 742 Sancome, South Bend, Indiana, Petitioner, was
present and addressed the Board. Mr. Oxian asked that the Board
favorably consider this vacation. He stated that the alley in
question is a dead-end alley, his garage is the only one located
off the alley, and this alley is not used by trash trucks.
There being no one else present wishing to speak either for or
against the proposed alley vacation, and no written objections
having been filed with the Board, upon a motion made by Mr.
Leszczynski, seconded by Mr. Hill and carried, the public hearing
on this matter was closed.
Mr. Leszczynski advised that favorable comments have been received
from the Engineering Department, Area Plan Commission and the
Community Development Department concerning this proposed alley
vacation.
Therefore, upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski, seconded by Mr.
Hill and carried, the Clerk was instructed to forward to the
Common Council a favorable recommendation on the above referred
to alley vacation subject to any and all utility easements.

Mr. Al M.N. Jacobs, Director of Utilities, addressed the Board and

includes water and sewage facilities. Mr. Jacobs advised that the
purchase price for both facilities is $1,560,666.00 with the water-
works facilities costing $496,640.00 and the sewage facilities
costing $1,064,026.00. The Lease Purchase Agreements being recom-
mended for approval today are for both facilities and are for a
sixteen year period with the payments for the waterworks facilities
being $64,740.00 per year paid semi-annually and the payments for
the sewage disposal facilities being$138,706-00 per year paid
semi-annually. Mr. Jacobs advised.that revenues coming in on the
facility will be used to pay off the debt and no City funds will
be used for the purchase. He stated that this is an extremely
good investment for the City and stated that Clay Utilities is
a system the City knows as it has been managed by the City for
the past seven (7) years and has shown a substantial increase
in customer service.
Mr. Robert M. Parker, Attorney at Law, Parker, Brunner and Hamilton,
120 West LaSalle Avenue, South Bend, Indiana, special counsel to
oversee this transaction, was present and addressed the Board. Mr.
Parker reiterated that the Board must execute two (2) leases, one
(1) for the waterworks facilities and one (1) for the sewage dis-
posal facilities. Both leases provide that the Board of Public
Works must sign the documents and have a deadline date of November
12, 1984 for execution by the Board of Public Works, Water Board,
Wastewater Board and the Common Council. Mr. Parker also advised
that a section in both agreements relating to approval by the.
Internal Revenue Service has been deleted from the documents.
In response to a question from Mr. Hill as to what the current
arrangement is with the City and Mr. Fitterling, the present owner
of the utilities, Mr. Parker stated that a Lease Purchase was
presented in 1977 and approved by the Board. However, the Public
Service Commission at that.time did not approve the Lease Purchase.
The City continued to operate Clay Utilities water and sewage
facilities under the management clause in the Agreement and con-
tinued to do billings, repairs and were paid at the rate of eight
(8) cents per one -hundred (100) cubic feet of water pumped and
sewage treated. Mr. Parker further stated that a substantial
increase in customer growth has occured since 1977 with those
profits going to Mr. Fittering. With the purchase of the
utilities by the City, the City will benefit by any future growth.
Mr. Hill stated that in 1977 the denial by the Public Service
Commission was based on customer complaints regarding construction
costs and contributions to that construction cost. In response to
Mr. Leszczynski's inquiry, Mr. Parker advised that those objections
at this time have been eliminated.
Upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski, seconded by Mr. Hill and
carried, the Lease Purchase Agreements for the purchase of Clay
Utilities, Inc. Sewage Disposal Facilities and Waterworks
