To: Redevelopment Commission
From: Bill Schalliol, Economic Development Planner
Subject: Resolution No. 2849: A Resolution Of The South Bend Redevelopment Commission To
Petition For A Special Use Exception
Date: February 17, 2011
The attached Resolution No. 2849 requests Commission approval to participate in a petition to the
Area Board of Zoning Appeals for a Special Exception to allow for the expansion of Coveleski
Regional Stadium. The Special Exception is necessary to correct a technical zoning issue with the
current site zoning requirements as the proposed stadium improvements will expand the overall
footprint of the park area beyond the current site limits. The Commission, as owner of land
adjacent to the park into which the park area would expand, would be a co-petitioner with the
South Bend Park Commission, the present owner of the Cove property.
This resolution also requests Commission approval to allow Wightman Petrie, Inc., to represent the
Commission and serve as its agent during the exception approval process.
Lastly, the Resolution would authorize Don Inks to sign any documents related to the special
exception petition.
Staff requests favorable approval of this Resolution.
