Feinstein, Dr. Fred Stump of the South Bend <br /> Community School Corporation, Richard Hebard, Park Superintendent Phil St. Clair, Public <br /> Works Director Gary Gilot, Sheila Bershwin, Steve Shore, Lisa Ann Shore, Larry Kefler, Dennis <br /> Whitacker, Eileen Bender, Harvey Bender, Chuck Lennon, Nancy Sulok and Terry Bland of the <br /> $youth Wombr Zriburic and Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand,Council Attorney. <br /> Council Member Varner noted that the purpose of this Committee meeting was to continue the <br /> discussion of Bill No. 6-01 which is a request to vacate a portion of Greenlawn Avenue from <br /> Mishawaka Avenue to Wall Street for a distance of approximately 561.5 feet. Dr. Varner noted <br /> that at the January 22nd Committee meeting a vote was taken on the proposal which resulted in a <br /> favorable recommendation by a vote of 3-1. Subsequent to that action, the School Corporation <br /> requested that the measure to continued until February 26th so that additional information could be <br /> shared with the Council and the public. <br /> Following discussion, Council Member King made a motion to rescind the Committee vote of <br /> January 22nd on Bill No. 6-01 in light of new information which will be presented to the Council. <br /> The motion was seconded by Council Member Aranowski. The motion passed. <br /> Dr. Varner then called upon Dr. Fred Stump, Deputy Superintendent of the South Bend <br /> Community School Corporation, to make a presentation. Dr. Stump noted that a considerable <br /> amount of discussion between the City Administration and the School Corporation has taken place <br /> since the last Committee meeting which has resulted in significant changes in the conceptual site <br /> plan for John Adams High School. <br /> Mr. Richard Hebard of Hebard & Hebard Architects, Inc. reviewed the new conceptual site plan <br /> (copy attached). He noted that the prior site plan focused on a design goal of 500 parking spaces <br /> on site, angle parking on Wall Street, creating bus lanes for nine (9) busses and four(4) special ed <br /> busses and moving several athletic activities to School Field, which would be upgraded. <br /> Mr. Hebard noted that the new conceptual site plan focuses on approximately 350 parking spaces, <br /> a track area would be incorporated which goes onto city park grounds by approximately 75', a <br /> pedestrian walkway is proposed, trees would be planted along the walkway, a JV field with a track <br /> for such events as soccer would be incorporated, tennis would be a shared use between the school <br /> corporation and the community, the track area would be fenced but would be a shared use area for <br /> the school corporation and the community for walking, and the existing softball complex would be <br /> upgraded and would have a 300' fence plus a temporary fence for varsity girls' softball. He noted <br /> that there would be approximately one (1) month of overlapping events. As a result, track, soccer, <br /> football and varsity softball would remain on the school site. <br /> Mr. Phil St. Clair, Park Superintendent, noted that he sees the new site plan as a win/win for all <br /> parties concerned. He noted that he believes that the parties could "work through the issues" that <br /> remain with regard to shared usage. He stated that the proposal is workable in light of the school <br /> being land-locked. He noted that the area proposed for soccer will be flattened out from its <br />
