BILL NO. 23 -85 A BILL AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED
NORTH OF INWOOD ROAD AND EAST OF IRONWOOD ROAD IN THE CITY OF
SOUTH BEND, INDIANA.
Council Member Beck made a motion to accept the substitute bill on file with the City

time heretofore set for public hearing on the above bill, proponents and opponents
were given an opportunity to be heard. Duane Barrow, of Area Plan, indicated that

built for a total of 359 apartments. He indicated there would be approximately 1,532
people in the project when completed. David Wagner, 4301 Irish Hills Drive; James
Kolesiak, 4403 Irish Hills; Willian Thomas, Irish Hills; Becky Wagner, 4301 Irish
Hills; and Linda Jaicomo, 4335 Irish Hills; spoke in favor of this rezoning. John
Voorde read the following letter, addressed to him, into the record:
Dear Councilman Voorde:
The seventy -eight (78) undersigned remonstrators, respectfully request that you read
this letter into the record at the Zoning and Vacation Committee, and at the public
hearing, on Bill No. 23 -85 at tonight's City Council meeting, and file copies of the
remonstrance petition with your committee.
This written remonstrance is in addition to the remonstrance petition which was filed
with the Area Plan Commission.
We are diversified. We include the working, the retired, the healthy, disabled,
Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and a variety of ethnic backgrounds.
Yet tonight we are united in our opposition to the proposed rezoning change for the
seventy (70) acre site. The proposed rezoning would permit the development of 1,027
units in thirty -six (36) buildings. The new total population projected would be
1,543 people. The developer proposed that there would be two (2) main entrances onto
Inwood Road.
Many of the Council members have visited our end of the City and have seen firsthand
the current problems, which would only be compounded by such a development.
For the record, we would briefly like to highlight the following safety and traffic
concerns which we have:
(1) Ironwood Road between Ewing and Inwood is a narrow two -lane road. There are no
shoulders, no curbs, no sidewalks, and its present width does not adequately address
the current traffic.
(2) The intersection of Ironwood and Ewing is a 4 -way stop. During peak traffic
hours currently, cars are backed up 10 -15 vehicles at a time. This intersection is
so narrow that TRANSPO buses cannot turn the corner and thus such type of
transportation is not available to this vicinity.
(3) The intersection of Ironwood and Calvert is also a 4 -way stop. The
same traffic congestion occurs here as at the Ironwood and Ewing intersection.
(4) The extremely humped railroad crossing just south of the Ironwood and
Lincolnway intersection currently causes traffic problems which backup to the
Calvert and Ironwood 4 -way stop, further compounding traffic.
(5 The intersection of Inwood and Ironwood currently is dangerous. Looking to the
south, Ironwood has a hill where four (4) lanes of traffic quickly turn into two (2)
lanes of traffic.
(6) Inwood Road to the west, because of its hilly and curved nature is currently
posted 15 m.p.h., however this speed limit is rarely enforced. Currently traffic on
this road makes it dangerous for school children who must walk in the streets
because of very limited sidewalks.
REGULAR MEETING JULY 8, 1985
These are just some of the traffic and safety concerns which are currently problems
in our area.
We believe that these concerns coupled with the quality of life which "a"
Residential Zoning is to promote and protect, are more than sufficient grounds to
vote against Bill No. 23 -85, at tonight's City Council meeting.
We thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
The undersigned
78 Remonstrators

Douglas Parmley, President of Local 362, Firefighters Union, read the following
letter:
Beverly Beck, President
South Bend Common Council
South Bend, Indiana
Dear Mrs. Beck:
As president of the Firefighter's Union Local 3362, I would take this opportunity to
remind you that, during wage negotiations between the city and the firefighters, you
as Council president made the following remarks to the wage committee, as well as to
myself.
One comment was that, if there were money made available at a later date, you would
be willing to re -open the wage agreement with us and renegotiate.
Another item stated not only by yourself but, also by Mr. Vance and Hartzer was that
of a promise that no one else, would receive a higher percentage increase than us or
the police officers.
There were some other indications that the City, was in a sort of financial
difficulty and we were mislead into believing that our small increase in wages was
in connection with these problems. In an effort to be fair and compromising, we
accepted your sincere plea for passage of the new wage agreement.
We now are able to see that you along with other members of the administration have
lied to not only us but to the entire population of our great city. This, in the
way of the substantial raises already given to a selected few as well as raises
intended for heads of their departments and their assistants.
We, are not against your reasoning for these raises but, the same reasoning should
have been used when we presented our wage package to you during negotiations of
past. We tried to explain similar reasoning to you and the other members of the
administration but it evidentially fell on deaf ears or those ears of people who
just didn't care about the lower ranked employees of the administration.
At the time, reminding you of your indications to re -open our wage agreement if
money became available, we are requesting a meeting to do that as quickly as
possible. In doing this, you would be showing your sincerity in your past comments
to us.
Sincerely,
Douglas Parmley, President
Local #362, Firefighters
Ralph Johnson, 734 N. Cushing, spoke against this bill. Council Member Voorde
indicated that since 5% additional monies will be coming to the City next year, he
thought these raises should be within that figure. He made a motion to restrict the
raises to 50, and have the Controller compute these figures and come back July 22
and pass the raises at that level, seconded by Council Member Zakrzewski. Council
Member Voorde amended his motion; working with monies available to us continue this
bill until July 22 and renegotiate within those limits, seconded by Council Member
