Location: 1237& 1303 N. Ironwood Drive
LER
Jurisdiction: City of Sout h Bend CITY CLERK,SOUTH BEND,IN
Public Hearing Date: 5/16/2017
Requested Action:
The petitioner is requesting a zone change from SF Single Family&Two Family District
to SF2 Single Family&Two Family District and seeking 3 variances from the
development standards.
Land Uses and Zoning:
On site: On site is a church and a single family home.
North: To the north is a single-family home zoned SF Single Family&Two
Family District and an office zoned O/B Office Buffer District.
East: To the east, across Ironwood, are single-family homes zoned SF 1 Single
Family&Two Family District.
South: To the south are single-family homes zoned SF Single Family&Two
Family District.
West: To the west, across Rosemary, are single family homes zoned SF 1 Single
Family&Two Family District.
District Uses and Development Standards:
The SF2 District is established to protect, promote and maintain the development of single
family dwellings and two family dwellings in the urban core of the City of South Bend as
well as to provide for limited public and institutional uses that are compatible with an
urban residential neighborhood. The availability of public facilities(e.g., public water,
public sanitary sewer, storm sewer, natural gas, electricity,telephone, etc.) is required for
development within this district.
Site Plan Description:
The proposed site plan includes a 22 lot single family residential subdivision. The
development includes a basic footprint for homes of approximately 1,800 square feet. The
proposed 1.5 story homes would utilize reduced setbacks on one side in order to provide a
wider side entrance on one side of the building. Each home will include a two-car garage.
Zoning and Land Use History And Trends:
In 2005,the southwest corner of Edison and Ironwood was rezoned to LB Local Business
to accommodate a Walgreen's. In 2016, the property to the north was rezoned to OB Office
Buffer District for an insurance office.
Traffic and Transportation Considerations:
Ironwood Drive has two lanes with room for on-street parking. Rosemary Lane has two
lanes.
Utilities:
The site will be served by municipal water and sewer.

Staff Report 5/4/2017
Agency Comments:
The Department of Community Investment offers a favorable recommendation on
rezoning to SF2 and the associated variances, subject to the following suggestions: 1)The
homes should be designed to include a front door look, especially along the Ironwood and
Rosemary street frontages. A door should face the street and have a connecting service
walk to the City sidewalk. Inclusion of a porch would be appropriate. Quality building
design and materials should be used throughout the project; 2) The mature trees,
throughout the site and particularly along its west edge, should be preserved to the greatest
extent possible; 3) While the project could be developed more densely, especially along
Ironwood, the proposal for the patio homes is fair in keeping with the neighborhood
context.
The City Engineer commented that the Department of Public Works recommends approval
subject to completion of a utility verification form; approval of sidewalk, curb cut, lighting
and overall site improvement to reflect the Master Plan for the surrounding area; approval
of a draining plan; and verification of required(if any)waivers. They suggested
investigating the potential to relocated the western approach to the south.
Commitments:
The petitioner is not proposing any written commitments.
Criteria to be considered in reviewing rezoning requests, per IC 36-7-4-603:
1. Comprehensive Plan:
Policy Plan:
The petition is consistent with City Plan, South Bend Comprehensive Plan (November
2006) Objective H 1: Ensure that an adequate supply of housing is available to meet the
needs, preferences, and financial capabilities of households now and in the future; and
Objective H 4: Ensure well-designed, infill housing on vacant land in the city's
neighborhoods.
Land Use Plan:
The future land use map identifies this area as low density residential.
Plan Implementation/Other Plans:
There are no other plans in effect for this area.
2. Current Conditions and Character:
The area is predominately single family residential with some offices to the north, which
serve as a transition to the commercial node at the intersection of Ironwood and Edison.
3. Most Desirable Use:
The most desirable use for the land is one that is compatible with the single family
neighborhood.
4. Conservation of Property Values:
The development of single family homes should not impact the use or value of the
adjacent properties.
5. Responsible Development And Growth:
It is responsible development and growth to allow for the development of infill housing in
APC# 2816-17 Page 2 of 3
1 Y
Staff Report 5/4/2017
an established residential area.
Combined Public Hearing
This is a combined public hearing procedure,which includes a rezoning and 3 variances from
the development standards. The Commission will forward the rezoning to the Council with or
without a recommendation and either approve or deny the variances.
The petitioner is seeking the following variance(s):
1) from the required minimum 25' lot frontage to no frontage for Lots 4-22
2) from the required minimum 5' side yard to 0' for all lots
3) from the required minimum 20'rear yard to 9'for Lot 4
State statutes and the Zoning Ordinance require that certain standards must be met
before a variance can be approved. The standards and their justifications are as follows:
(1) The approval will not be injurious to the public health,safety, morals and general
welfare of the community;
The proposed development will front on a private street and should not impact the public
health, safety, or general welfare of the community.
(2) The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance
will not be affected in a substantially adverse manner;
The proposed single family development should not have an adverse impact on the
residential neighborhood in which it is located.
(3) The strict application of the terms of this Chapter would result in practical
difficulties in the use of the property
The strict application of the ordinance would create oversized residential lots which may
be difficult to maintain. Allowing the use of a private drive will allow for infill housing
that will promote the vitality of the residential neighborhood. The reduced setbacks will
allow the homes to be located on the lot in a manner that offers each home a larger, usable
outdoor space.
Staff Comments:
The staff has no additional comments.
Recommendation:
Based on information available prior to the public hearing,the staff recommends the
rezoning petition be sent to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation. Staff
recommends approval of the variances.
Analysis:
Rezoning the property to SF2 Single Family&Two Family District will allow for infill
housing on a large residential lot in which services are already available. The urban
residential lots will offer a variety of housing options compatible with the neighborhood.

Re:Community meeting
There were many not at the meeting last night. What I have heard is"why bother,
the council will just do what's best for the city, not us". All those not at the meeting
did not get a copy of the survey, I will copy and take some to those I know who were
not there. The survey,at feast,will show what our concerns are.
I am still concerned about the increase in traffic on Rosemary.
We will have a construction area and much blowing dirt(it has been very windy)for
a long time, maybe 2 years or more.
Where will they put the snow from the drives and the street?
These patio homes will not fit in with the present homes in neighborhood.
There will be no restriction on the selling so it can very easily become student
housing. We are not an extension of ND,but our own neighborhood. We already
have many student rentals in neighborhood, probably more to come as houses are
sold. Some of the students are responsible,many are not. Loud parties are the
norm.
Seems like the area could be put to better use for something that would fit in better
and be less disruptive to the neighborhood. j
Once this rezoning is done,it leads the way for someone to be able to buy 2 or 3
homes and put up more town homes or patio homes. I would like to know what the
variances are that make it necessary to rezone this property.

ECHO'S/Proposed development project meeting 0412712017 MAY 17 2011
KAREEMAH FOWLER
Hello CITY CLERK,SOUTH BEND,IN
T attended the meeting between the Matthew's develelopent company and the Rosemary
Dorwood neighborhood group last night 04/27/2017, about their proposed ECHO'S
development in our neighborhood
The Mathew's spokesman displayed a most deficient ,deceitful, and uninformed question
and a (very little answer) session I have ever witnessed.
He was dismissive on most account,to intelligent questions,and issues on his own
project,that people inquired about .
Example: Maththew's"We had to get three variances " He only explained one and said"
I don't know what the other two are" when asked about the other two. A person would
ask a question and he said he did not know and then would say "next question?"
without answering anything. This was the basis of answers the group received
throughout the entire discussion
He answered maybe 25% of the questions asked, and said he did not know on the rest of
the issues .
He was dishonest on his answer about his target customers He stated that they would
be sold to people 55 years of age and up . When asked of the age of the people who
would actually live there , he did not answer .
We know that he is trying to stuff his pockets with money of Notre Dame parents from
Pennsylvania New York ,Connecticut ,Chicago, and so on.
Their updated ,downsized and over priced plan from the original invading plan, although
better than the original proposal,still does not fit with our existing neighborhood
architecture at all.
He said the construction was going to built as houses were being sold not completed in
full, just a few at a time depending on sales.
He brushed over concerns of utility sewer , ad water supply effects that are important
issues. He unanswered a lot of questions and people were shaking their heads at this.
What an idiot......continued
2.017
UMMISSION
i
_.__..._.._ ._.__..___..v..._._.�
If the Area planning commission grants the Echo's development , you are ignoring the
interest ,concerns and livelihood of the people who actually live here and catering to the
greed of the dishonest Matthew's development company who do not live in this
neighborhood. They are going to benefit at our dismay
Allowing this development,only increases the onslaught of these types of developments
in our neighborhood . If allowed this will allow the same type of development(s) to be
constructed on Edison Rd., which will undoubtedly cause the eventual eminent domain
issues causing people on Edison ,Oak Park Dr.,and Hartman Dr. to forced out of their
homes ,being that they are smaller homes. People in these home cannot afford to be
kicked out on the street by some developer that lives in Granger to profit from rich
people that live out of state
Allowing office buildings similar to the dental offices on Edison and Ironwood that
already would be acceptable or building 6 houses that are in conformance to the*e
existing architecture could be considered possible too This was brought up at the
meeting . A person stated that there are only B houses per side on Hartman Dr, "why
can't you emulate the existing",that question was ignored and dismissed. The guy from
Matthews conducting the meeting, was acting quite ignorant (to ignore)
The Area Planning Commission needs to deny in full this development . By allowing
it, you will prove that your are not concerned with what is best for the citizens of South
Bend,or what they deem important,and only supporting the greed of the developers in
this matter.
WE HAVE STATED THAT WE DO NOT WANT THIS AT ALL, AND SHOULD
NOT HAVE TO FIGHT AGAINST IT.
THIS DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT FIT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND WE ARE
NOT CONCERNED WITH MATHEW'S GREED ,INVADING OUR
NEIGHBORHOOD, PERIOD., SO DO US A FAVOR,THE CITIZENS OF THIS
CITY YOU REPRESENT . TELL THEM NO
Thank you

KEY FACTS:
MAY 17 2Q17
• 22 single—family homes of approximately 1,800 SF
KAREEMAH FOWLER
o Reduced from 39 townhomes as originally proposed CITY CLERK,SOUTH BEND,IN
• 45%open-space
o Increased from 29%as originally proposed
o A 55% increase in open space
• Favorable Staff Recommendation:
o Consistent with City Plan
o Consistent with South Bend Comprehensive Plan Objectives
j ■ H-1: Ensure adequate supply of housing, needs, preferences and financial
capabilities of households now and in the future
■ H-4: Ensure well-designed, infill housing on vacant land in the City's
neighborhoods
• National League of Cities; Sustainable Cities Institute:
Urban Infill is gaining in popularity as intown or close-in
locations become more attractive to prospective home buyers, and
office and retail tenants. Municipalities are also encouraging the
practice of infill as it is more efficient to use existing infrastructure
and services than it is to extend infrastructure and services farther
afield, Infill development can also help community achieve or
sustain thresholds of population, and affordable housing.
■ Most desirable use for the land is one that is compatible with the single-
family neighborhood
■ Conservation of Property Values: Staff determined the development
should not impact the use or value of adjacent properties
■ Staff noted development of infill housing is reasonable development and
growth
