The January 13, 1992 of the Zoning and Vacation Committee was called to order by its
Chairperson Council Member Lee Slavinskas at 3:30 p.m.in the Council Informal Meeting
Room.
Persons in attendance included Council Members: Ladewski, Washington, Luecke,
Puzzello, Duda, Coleman, Zakrzewski, and Slavinskas; Ken Fedder, John Byorni, Dave
Norris, Mike Dansch, Don Porter, and Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand.
The first item on the agenda was to review Bill No. 71-91 which would annex and bring
within the City Limits certain land located in Penn Township of St. Joseph County. Mr.
Michael Dansch of Pierce & Associates gave the presentation. He showed a preliminary
site development plan (copy attached) to the Committee. It was noted that 5.3 acres of the
"25 acre tract would be developed. It was noted by Mr. Byorni that the Area Plan Staff had
no objection to the proposed annexation. It was also noted that the property would be
annexed into the City as "A "residential" A"height and area.
Mr. Dave Norris briefly reviewed the Fiscal Plan. He noted that there wold be no
substantial impact by the annexation. He also noted that Station Ten provide the primary
fire services with Station Eight as a backup.
Council Member Slavinskas, the District Councilman for the area, noted that he had
received several calls and letters with regard to this proposed Bill. He noted that much of
the communication that he received had misinformation, since many individuals thought
that this would include a rezoning as a part of the Bill this evening.
Mr. Dansch noted that a separate ordinance would include the petitioners request for a "B"
zoning later, which would probably be heard in March of this year. He also noted that the
pole barn on the property probably would probably be eliminated.
Following further discussion, Council Member Coleman made a motion, seconded by
Puzzello, that Bill No. 71-91 be recommended favorably to Council. The motion passed.
Council Member Luecke noted that Bill No. 79-91 addressing the proposed. Alley Vacation
for Portage, Leland, and Forest should be continued for two weeks.
There being no further business to come before the Committee the meeting was adjourned
at 3:45 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Lee Slavinskas, Chairperson
Zoning and Vacation Committee
