Mr. James Seitz, Park Superintendent,made the presentation for the ordinance. He said this appropriation was for Pier Park, which is the con- necting park between Bicentennial and Island Park along the west bank of the river. He said low bids on the park totaled $68,322.40 above the engineer's estimate, which was made in 1973. He said the main reasons for the higher cost was price increases over the three year period, and the designs made in 1973 were preliminary and did not cover detail. He said the Park Department re- ceived approval of a $75,000.00 grant from the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, and when the funds are received, we will deposit said funds in the General Park Fund. He said the Park Department was asking Council to appropriate $75,000 from the General Park Fund into account #260.0, Other Contractual Services, so the necessary funds will be available to complete Pier Park this year. Council Member Kopczynski asked if the work was to be continued by the firm that was being van- dalized, and how much cost was incurred because of this vandalism. Mr. Seitz said this was not the firm that was going to finish the work and he did not know the cost of the vandalism. Council Member Adams asked if this was the same $75,000 that was allocated in a Community Develop- ment hearing. Mr. Seitz indicated that this was the same $75,000 that was talked about, but it was not allocated. Council Member Adams asked what would happen if this does not receive approves Mr. Seitz indicated there would not be a complete park.

Gawrysiak, Street Commissioner, made the presentation for the ordinance. He said a new truck is needed for the concrete crew that repairs street and curb cuts at manholes, catch basins, and inlets. He said the new truck will have a heavy -body construction to handle heavy concrete debris. He said funds were also being requested under this appropriation for concrete in an effort to correct the problem of maintenan of the concrete streets. Mr. Gene Evans, Executive Secretary of the Civic Planning Association, questioned Mr. Gawrysiak regarding the concrete account and the amount that was budgeted in 1976. Mr. Gawrysiak indicated that the Street Department had requested more money but it was cut from the budget. Mr. Evans asked about th Eplan for the replacement of truck equipment. Mr. Gawrysiak indicated that this truck was not in the budget and he did not believe there was a plan for replacement of equipment, but they were going to develop a plan. Council Member Horvath indicated that the Motor Equipment Fund for 1976 was cut because of the frozen tax rate, since this was the only place to cut.

ORDINANCE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING AND SUPPLEMENTING CHAPTER 40 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA (Tri -piece Edison Road be- tween Edison and State Road 23). This ordinance had second reading. Council - _=President :- Pareht said the_pe'titioner was still not in the Chambers, but he thought the Council should allow the public to voice their concern regarding the rezoning. Mr. Thomas Magers, 1412 South Bend, Avenue, read the following statement: "To date there has bee no evidence for the existence of a complete neighborhood zoning plan for the South Bend Avenue area. The present situation concerning the impending construction of a hotel in the area bounded by Edison Road, South Bend, Avenue, and Twyckenham Drive now only serves to expose this extreme inadequacy. It seems illogical, then, that we continue to consider zoning for the construction of said hotel at this time. We would move then to seek a postponement of any further considerati by the City Council of South Bend until and at which time the area planning commission can presen to the citizens of South Bend a complete "land use" plan for vacant lands within the South Bend Avenue neighborhood area." Dr. Lillian Stanton, 919 Oak Ridge, asked that an enviromental impact study be made because of major rezoning being considered. Mrs. Morris Hoffman, 1258 Twyckenham, indicated their property was across the street from the pro- posed hotel, and they would be completely blocked out by a hotel. She said if all this area is going to go commercial, make ours commercial too, as we have two lots and we do not want to be blocked in by commercial property around us. Mr. Carl O'Nell, 1432 South Bend Avenue, said that some people who live within the 300' limit of this proposed hotel were not properly notified of this rezoning. Council President Parent asked how many in the audience were not notified and there was a show of several hands. President Parent directed the Clerk to write a letter to Area Plan regarding this situation. Mr. O'Nell read a prepared statement to the Council, as follows: "Assuming the City Council of South Bend does, in fact, vote to approve this current rezoning measure in regard to the construction of a hotel in the South Bend Avenue area, we would expect consideration and positive action on specific construction and design parameters related to the hotel in question. REGULAR MEETING MAY 10, 1976 REGULAR MEETING RECONVENED These Are: 1. Consideration of existing sewage complications in the South Bend Avenue area. During rain- storms of significant density, raw sewage is now able to "back up" in the Wooded Estates area to the depth of several feet. This obviously creates great consternation then, among these citizens when the raw sewage floods their basements, and consequently destroys entire living areas. It seems logical, then, that with the construction of a massive plumbing system as will exist in the planned hotel, that considerable modification of the present sewage system in the South Bend Avenue area must now be demanded. 2. It is expected that all "curb cuts" for said hotel will exist only on the Edison Street s of the complex. - 3. From this follows the problem of current overloading of South Bend Avenue with extremely heavy traffic, particularly industrial, and the excessive speed limit. The traffic flow and pattern on South Bend Avenue is utterly ridiculous in light of the proximity of family homes and children's play areas to the street. In short, we absolutely insist upon complete recon- sideration of traffic control on South Bend Avenue and its arteries of Twyckenham, White Oak and Black Oak Drives. 4. It is our understanding that visual and sound barriers are to be erected adjacent to the hotel along South Bend Avenue. We would also request that such barriers be erected along the extension of Twyckenham. It is understood, of course, that all such barriers be properly land- scaped with a high degree of decorum. 5. All signs advertising or identifying said hotel and /or products appear only on the Edison side of the hotel complex. No such signification should be visible from our residential area of South Bend Avenue. 6. Finally we would ask that any design of said hotel complex include the placement of any restaurant, lounge, bar, health club, or night club on the Edison Street side of the complex. While these requests may seem somewhat stringent to the hotel architects and developers, we feel that these are absolutely minimal for the continued viability of our neighborhood. We would hope to cultivate a positive relationship between our neighborhood and said hotel complex. Such an amicable relationship could be demonstrated by the hotel developers by their positive actions in these areas of particular difficulty." Mrs. Norma Ludwick, 1324 Black Oak, asked if there was anything residents - ,could do about this situation. Council President Parent indicated that the Council had to approve this rezoning before the hotel could be built. She indicated that residences would not bearable to leave their homes on football weekends. Mr. Stanley,,P. Pietzak, the petitioner, arrived to make the presentation for the ordinance. He said they were in the process of building a 191 unit Linebacker Hilton. He said Ivy Road will be closed between Edison and South Bend Avenue, and Twyckenham will be extended into the university area. He said the hotel will be three buildings, with a commercial building that will house the Linebacker Lounge andrestaurant,: as well as an enclosed swimming pool, lobby and meeting rooms. He said they were paying for the extension of Twyckenham into the university area, as well as the curbing, grating and servicing of the road. He said there would be a com- plete line of shrubs for screening on South Bend Avenue. He indicated there would be no entran on South Bend Avenue. He said the hotel will connect with the present sewage line. Mr. Bill Wernz, 1444 South Bend Avenue, asked about the provision for parking and whether it would be adequate for football weekends. Mr. Pietzak said there would be 271 parking places and it should be adequate for football weekends. Mr. Pietzak said he thought the hotel would b an asset to the community. He said they will employ approximately 150 people, and they were go to make the entire area a classy affair. Mr. Wernz questioned Area Plan regarding the intersection of Twyckenham and South Bend Avenue. Mr. Stonebraker, of Area Plan, indicated the traffic problem would be handled by the state and would involve a traffic ounty, etc., before any final decision would be made. He said there are plans that recommend State Road 23 be widened to four-lanes. Mrs. Morris Hoffman, 1258 Twyckenham, indicated that the corner of Twyckenham and South Bend Avenue has been a traffic hazard for years, and if this hotel is built, there will be more traffic and more people hurt. Mr. Walt Mizen, 1115 Oak Ridge Drive, indicated it was a very unprofessional presentation and no one had sold him on the matter. He said the planning commission was not prepared to answer the questions, and he thought they should have the answers before action is taken. Dr. Lillian Stanton, 919 Oak Ridge, indicated that from what she had heard an environmental imr study is very definitely needed, and she suggested it be done at the expense of the petitioner. Mrs. Ruth Q'Nell, 1432 South Bend- Avenue, indicated she was concerned about people turning lef without a stop sign or stop light. Mr. Carl O'Nell, 1432 South Bend- B,venue. indicated that the sewage trunk lines for the area we not adequate to handle the hotel. Council Member Miller asked Mr. David Wells, Bureau of Administration and Design, to give the Council insight regarding the sewage problem. Mr. Wells indicated that area does have problems with sewers backing up when it rains, due mainly to tree roots in the sewer lines. He said he felt the trunk lines were adequate to handle the hotel. Council Member Miller asked if there was any long range plans for retention basins in the area. Mr. Wells indicated there wasn't. its 445 REGULAR MEETING L MAY 10, 1976 REGULAR MEETING RECONVENED Council Member Miller indicated he thought the extension of Twyckenham would greatly relieve the Traffic on White Oak. He asked Mr. Wells the general policy for obtaining a traffic signal. Mr. Wells indicated traffic signals were very difficult to obtain from the state highway department. Council Member Horvath said that the Area Plan had indicated South Bend Avenue could Widened to four lanes, and he wondered if any right -of -way had been acquired. Mr. Wells indicated that it had not, and he said this was given consideration four years ago. Council Member Adams indicated she had been trying to get some relief for people in the Wooded Estates, and she was wondering if the hotel will have a detrimental effect to the area. Mr. Wells said that any type of commercial development is required to main- tain their own water retention on their property. Council Member Kopczynski indicated that the hotel was being built to service the fun- ctions at Notre Dame, and this might actually alleviate some traffic in the area. Council Member Serge said they had gone through this once before, and he wondered if a hotel was really going to be built at that location. Mr. Pietzak said that a Hilton franchise had been obtained, and the total project would cost over $5,000,000. Council Member Taylor indicated it was not fair to ask people to have a lag on the traffic situation that will be extremely hazardous. He said that living shrubs as a fence are extremely attractive but they do not do the job as far as containing any blowing garbage and trash. Mr. Pietzak said they were talking about a Hilton, and he was sure no one would stay there if it was not first class. Council President Parent said he did not doubt the facility was going to be a classy hotel, however, he would like to have further information; such as, the location of the pool, the lounge, the restaurant. He said he had not been a site plan. He said he thought the Council should have more information concerning the traffic situation, and the screening. He said he would be in favor of delaying action on this for at least two weeks. Council Member Taylor said he was in favor of the project, and he did not want to mis- lead area residents, however, he was in favor of a two week delay to get some loose ends tied up. Council Member Taylor made a motion to continue the public hearing and second reading until the next regularly scheduled Council meeting, May 24, 1976, seconq ed by Council Member Adams. The motion passed on a roll call vote of five ayes (Counci. Members Serge, Taylor, Adams, Horvath and Parent) and three nays (Council Members j Szymkowiak, Miller and Kopczynski). RESOLUTIONS Council President Parent asked if there was any objection from the Council if they would have one hearing on 9A and 9B. There was no objection.

Mr. Peter Mullen, City Controller, made a presentation for the resolutions. He said the intent of the second resolution was to facilitate a compromise on the hard work being enacted by the Downtown Parking Study Commission. He said the differences between the two resolutions is that the original resolution would bring into the city approximately $42,000 in additional revenue, whereas, the second resolution would bring an additional $33,000 on an annualized basis. Mr. Allen Bloomquist, Chairman of the South Bend Parking Facilities Study Commission, said he thought it appropriate to bring the views of the Commission to the attention of the Council. He said this was a body consisting of nine individuals and that it had a considerable diversity of views represented. He said some of the recommendations ranged from let's do nothing with parking rates to let's raise them quite a bit. He said the final recommendation was a compromise recom- mendation. He said the Council had all received letters of the April 23 recommendation, while there are some areas of agreement there was some disagreement as to the exact amount to raise the monthly rates. He said the Commission recommended that the Main and Colfax lot be raised to $12, and the Controller's recommendation was $13. He said there was agreement within the Commission that the daily rate should be raised and they recommended $1.35 a day, and the recommendation ap- proved by the Board of Public Works was $1.50. He said the impact was highly uncertain, because it is well to remember that the city has approximately 1/4 of the parking spots and the rest are controlled privately, and it is difficult to predict what the private lots will do. Mr. Lloyd Taylor, member of the Study Commission, said he represented the minority viewpoint relative to the Commission. He said the nine member Commission was not in full support of -the recommendations made by the Commission. He said he could appreciate the problem facing the Counc on the parking situation. He said if no other funds could be found to make up the deficit in the operation of the garages, then obviously some kind of increased income has to be generated. He said the thing that concerned him was the difference in rates between the Jefferson and Colfax garages. He said he thought this was penalizing those developers who have done the most for down town in trying to generate parkers. He said a developer who has worked very diligently to bring tenants and employees to the downtown area and now this section of town is being penalized by a differential rate, with quite frankly, very competitive buildings in other areas of the downtown. He said the Commission had proposed as somewhat of a compromise leaving the upper deck, the open part of the structure at $20, so this would relieve us a little bit, or at least we could say to a tenant that if they were willing to drive to the top they could continue at the same rate. He said he really thought the compromise proposal was a better solution than the proposed resolution Council Member Taylor complimented the Mayor regarding his selection of members to the Commission He said the Commission consisted of a number of businessmen representing our Community. He said he thought the people on the Commission were highly concerned regarding South Bend's fiscal res- ponsibility. He said he noted with interest the report the Council received from the Commission, that there was nothing stated about any one being overly concerned with a bad bond rating. He said the Commission did come up with a compromise. He said there was one paragraph in their report that influenced him, that was "It should be noted that there is support within the Com- mission for no change in rates at this time, preferring to wait for further developments in the downtown area. In part, the concern is for our ability to attract new enterprise into the down- town area, with higher parking costs. The entire Commission acknowledges this concern, and many others as well. Parking is clearly an important strategic element affecting the growth of South Bend, and stimulating the growth of the South Bend tax base. The determination of parking rates must therefore take into consideration not only the affect of immediate revenue, but also, on the long, long term impact on stimulating and preserving a healthy tax base." He said in his opinio he favored the report that came from the Commission, and he would support rejecting the resolu- tions as they now stand, and support a resolution that would reflect the compromise of the Com- mission. Council Member Taylor then made a motion to reject the two resolutions and to write a letter so stating to the Board of Works, and that we also state in the letter that we would de- finitely be in favor of adopting a resolution that would reflect the thinking of the South Bend Parking Facilities Study Commission, seconded by Council Member Horvath. Council Member Miller indicated that the equitability between the City operated and subsidizing some parking units, and there are private developers who have units, creates quite a problem since the City has one- fourthof the parking downtown, the City is in competition with private parking. He said the more we subsidize the more we are providing an unfair situation. He said at this time we do not have other sources of income to balance against this parking subsidy, tha we keep adding to constantly. He said that considering the political makeup of the Council, he did not feel the rates would be increased again for another four years. He said he thought this was a one shot deal and whatever is done now will exist for at least another four years. He said we need to get the money necessary to balance our parking deficit, by increasing fees. He said he was in favor of resolution.A at this particular time. Council Member Kopczynski said he concurred with Council Member Miller. He said he thought that the parking garages should be made to pay for themselves. He said it was unfair to the rest of the City to use any form of revenue to subsidize the garages. Council Member Adams asked if we would up this town development we could lose far more in our resolution was a compromise between his origin, said the City was faced with another bad month $23,600 behind last year; through March 31, we lost an additional $5,000 in April. to get the $33,000 extra revenue and stifle down - tax base. Mr. Mullen said he felt this second al resolution and the Commission's resolution. He in April. He said through April 30 they were are $18,558 behind last year, so we have in affec REGULAR MEETING MAY 10, 1976 Council Member Serge indicated he thought the resolution should be passed to meet:our obligation. Council Member Taylor said his only desire was to keep the garages as competitive as possible. H asked Mr. Mullen if it were true that to make the garages pay for themselves, we would have to think in terms of a monthly rate of $40 to $45 per month. Mr. Mullen indicated that was correct. He said that no one on the Council was going to be taking a vote to end subsidization, and we are going to be subsidizing the downtown parking situation for a while. He indicated he wanted to ke our parking rates as competitive as possible as long as possible. Council President Parent indicated that the Commission has discussed the possibility of providing some free parking. He said he thought the motivation behind the two resolutions on the agenda wa very good. He said he was concerned that even the goals of receiving more money at an increased rate may not be obtained. He said he would be in favor of subsidizing parking even further, be- cause it would make us more competitive in getting additional businesses downtown, and have an ex panded tax base, therefore, having more tax money. He said that those on the Commission were ver concerned that increasing the rates would not produce more money, especially on the flat lots be- cause there are other lots nearby that are competitively priced, so we are not sure if we increas the rates that some people will not go elsewhere. He said he was against the adoption of both resolutions on the agenda, and would prefer the Board of Works adopt a resolution reflecting the Commission's report. Council Member Szymkowiak, indicated it was the Council's idea to have a parking commission, now we have the advice of the parking Commission, and we should live by it. Council President Parent said there was a motion on the floor to defeat both resolutions, and I would like to ask Council Member Taylor to withdraw it and deal with both individually. Council Member Taylor said he moved on resolution A to reject the resolution and to write a lettez so stating to the Board of Public Works our reasons and that we state in the letter that we will support the recommendations of the Study Commission. Council President Parent said that the sense of the motion was to strike the resolution from the record and tell the reasons why. The motion was seconded by Council Member Horvath. Council President Parent said it had been moved and seconded that this resolution be struck from the record and a letter be sent to the Mayor giving the reasons why. A roll call vote was taken, and after a clarification, the roll call vote was five ayes (Council Members Szymkowiak, Taylor, Adams, Horvath and Parent) and three nays (Council Members Serge, Miller Kopczynski). The motion carried and the resolution will be struck from the record. Council Member Taylor made a motion on Resolution B so stating to the Board of Public Works our reasons support the recommendations of the Study Commission call vote was taken and the motion passed with five Horvath and Parent) and three nays (Council Members will be struck from the record. to reject the resolution and to write a lett and that we state in the letter that we will seconded by Council Member Horvath.
