Bill 47 -14
Angela Smith from the Area Plan Commission said this,was an amendment to Chapter
21 of the South Bend Municipal Code dealing with Book Huts as accessory structures.
They are changing the definitions to 4 square foot so you do not have to get a variance
to have a book but on your property. It has a favorable recommendation from the Area
Plan Commission.
No questions from the council. Committee sends it to full council favorably.
Angela Smith from Area Plan Commission made the presentation to address Auto Lots.
The need to have direct access to drive lane to avoid stacking cars. 5ft setback for
landscaping also needed. The Area Plan Commission gives it a favorable
recommendation.
Karen White asked if this would be applied to the Western and LWW corridors. Angela
said it would be applied city -wide but the lots there now are all grandfathered into the
old zoning regulations.
Henry Davis Jr. said he would like it to be a 10 foot setback instead of 5ft. Wants more
aggressive enforcement and it needs to be enforced. Wants to know how we can get
the lots out there now to step it up and stop being eyesores. Angela suggested people
call the fire department or code enforcement.
Dr. David Varner said they need site plans for N.D. parking. How about that so the fire
department can set the boundaries.
Tim Scott — If they are set at 15' why grant it for 0', check with BZA who are the ones
who do the variances. He likes the new language.
Both bills given favorable recommendations to the full council.
Chairperson Tim Scott adjourned the meeting.
