RE: SUBSTITUTE BEE.Resolution to approve the issuance of a Scrap Metal/Junk
Dealers/Recycling Operation License pursuant to Section 4-51 of the South Bend Municipal
Code.
Dear Honorable Council Members:
On May 12,2025,the Common Council tabled Bill No.25-27 due to concerns that were not addressed. The
bill is not changing,but I am submitting additional materials and information to address the concerns that were
raised during said meeting.
A renewal application for the operation of Scrap Metal/Junk Dealers/Recycling Operations has been received.
In accordance with the procedure for the renewal of city business licenses this application was submitted to the
Police Department,Fire Inspection Bureau,Neighborhood Resources,and the Zoning Department for their
review and recommendation.
The following property was inspected and received favorable recommendations regarding fire,code,and
environmental compliance,also for proper maintenance of the premises,and the height and condition of the
fence.
Alternative Two LLC—700 W.Chippewa Ave.
SBPD PROCESS—Investigates each applicant and makes a recommendation as to whether the license should
be granted. SBPD considers the criminal history,if any,and the likelihood that granting the license will
endanger the health,safety,or welfare of the public.
• Ensure applicants do not have any warrants or wants with SBPD.
• Verify the applicant is not involved in any criminal investigations.
• Applicants must electronically report to SBPD on a daily basis. Businesses that obtain items though
legal purchases such as an auction and then sell through their business are not required to report and
the non-reporting status is considered compliant.
• Video Surveillance required.

Michelle-
Alternative Two—700 W. Chippewa Ave. —The property located at 700 W.Chippewa Ave. is zoned I Industrial and a
Scrap Metal Dealer use is not allowed by right in this district,however,the current use has been in continuous
operation prior to the adoption of our current Zoning Ordinance and is therefore considered legal non-
conforming. Any outdoor storage of material needs to remain below the fence line.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Subject Re: Follow-up f'om business license compliance meeting
Attachments: Scrap Metal Review - Zoning Compliance.pdf; Buffer Types.pdf
Hi all,
Jim and I visited scrap the metal sites to observe fencing.
Along many property lines a buffer would not be required by zoning since the lots abut other I Industrial
sites.Where a buffer would be required,fencing was legal non-conforming in every case and would
require an upgrade (adding shrubs, trees, or made solid)to meet current standards. I put together a
visual document to show what the zoning ordinance would require at each site and current conditions.
I've also attached the page from the ZO that calls out various buffer types.
Best,
Skip Morrell
