Council Member Taylor said he would like to hear from the staff of Area Plan as to why this was
turned down. Ms. Judy Struder, of Area Plan, indicated the main thing was the Land Use Plan.
She indicated the Planning Commission adopted a policy for Ireland Road to cluster commercial
development. She indicated they were interested in limiting commercial development on Ireland,
and perhaps High Street was a reasonable place to draw the line.
Council Member Taylor asked Mr. Farrand to report on the drainage in that area. Mr. Rollin Farra
Director of Public Works, indicated that a residence could not afford the cost to take care of th
drainage problem. Council Member Adams asked if it could be dealt with in a commercial situation

Council Member Horvath indicated that two years ago when Ireland Road started to become commercial
he and Council Member Taylor tried to stop the commercialism. He said now the entire strip has

Member Horvath asked Mr. Farrand, City Engineer, to read his report on this annexation, as fol-
lows: "The petition for voluntary annexation for a parcel of land 700.37 feet West of the inter-
section of Ireland and Ironwood Roads was referred to this office for review. A sketch map
showing the location of this tract is attached for your information. This property is currently
included in a larger, overall area that has been annexed by the City of South Bend and is now
being appealed through the Courts. The area immediately East of the proposed annexation area is
part of an older voluntary annexation by Noel Lueneburg. The area immediately west is part of
a more recent voluntary annexation for which a report was made to the Council by letter dated
June 10, 1976. This Department sees no problems with this annexation. City sanitary sewer and
City water are available to the site. A large storm retention basin exists in the immediate
area which would provide storm water storage capacity for any developments on this site. If you
have any further questions regarding this site, please contact me at your convenience."

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING (CONTINUED
He said that as a result of discussions with the Department of Housing and Urban Development, it
has been determined that certain steps must be processed through the Common Council regarding
appropriating funds from the first year allocation of Community Development funds. It has been
determined that Council approval is now required for the expenditure of $162,750 the remaining
money in the fund. He then briefly covered the target areas where these funds will be used. He
said this appropriation is from the first year's funds, and the programs may well exceed the
funds and utilization of second year funds will be used to complete and add to this project list.
Council President Parent said that this list of projects does not include the Edison- Rockne - Crest-
wood intersection, or the Hickory- Edison intersection. Mr. Farrand indicated they had anticipate
receiving more funds, however, the target area was established by HUD and they will not allow us
to do any more than what they have targeted. Council President Parent said he would vote against
every Public Works ordinance that is presented until these intersections are taken care of. Mr.
Farrand indicated that HUD will not allow them to go into any other area, so funding for these
intersections will have to come from other sources. Council Member Horvath indicated that when
they apply for Federal funds we should include the entire City as the target area. Mr. Farrand
indicated that this was what was done with the first year's Community Development funds, how-
ever, HUD changed the rule way down the road. Council Member Adams asked when they would have
funds to take care of Edison - Crestwood - Rockne intersection. Mr. Farrand indicated he was not
pleading lack of funds, but he had to follow certain procedures to get the funds from other areas.
Council Member Adams asked when they could expect to see something done out there. Mayor Peter
J. Nemeth indicated they were not in a position to give an answer at this meeting. He indicated
they would consider the Council's comments in making a decision. He said in view of the fact
that the City had been "shot down" on Federal money we will have to have a meeting and decide on
our priorities. The motion carried, with Council President Parent opposing.

munity Development funding, together with Revenue Sharing and Motor Vehicle Highway funds, is
sufficient to enable the Bureau of Streets to complete a very good paving program. Council

the target area. Council President Parent said this was Public Works and he was going to vote
against it. Council Member Szymkowiak made a motion that his ordinance be recommended to the
