Dear Members of the Council,
In accordance with the procedure proscribed in South Bend Municipal Code Section 4-51 for the
renewal of City Business/Occupational licenses for the operation of Scrap Metal/Junk
Dealers/Recycling Operations, renewal applications for six (6) businesses were submitted to the
Police Department, Fire Inspection Bureau, Water Works, Department of Code Enforcement
and Building Department. In that group, were applications for three (3) new businesses (U.S.
Scrap, LLC; LKQ of Indiana and Schrock Aggregates), all of which are located on sites
previously licensed and used for this purpose.
All applications received favorable recommendations from all departments. This will confirm for
the Common Council that three (3) of the license applicants named in the enclosed
resolution are in complete compliance with all of the requirements of South Bend Municipal
Code Section 4-51. Specifically, these three (3) licensees have an operational surveillance
system, appropriate fencing, lighting, and buffer system. Three (3) of the licensees, Shapiro
Sales, Schrock Aggregate and A-2 Auto Parts, do NOT have a video surveillance system.
Shapiro does not deal with any walk-up business and Schrock only deals in gravel, dirt and
concrete through contractors. A-1 Auto Parts has not operated since 2006 but, wants to keep
his license active until he can find some financial backing or find a buyer for the yard.
As the applicants have all received favorable recommendations from all departments, the
attached resolution is being submitted for your consideration. I will present it at, both, the
Committee meeting and the public hearing.
Please contact me at 574-235-5912 or cclark@southbendin.gov, if you have any further
questions.
Sincerely,
Charles E. Clark
License Auditor, City of South Bend
