4) Name and address of contingent purchaser(s),if applicable:

E-Mail Address N/A
5) It is desired and requested that this property be rezoned:
From(County): R Single Family District and C Commercial District
To(City): CB Community Business District
6) This annexation and rezoning is requested to allow the following use(s): Grocery Store and Restaurant
along with other permitted uses under the CB Community Business zoning classification.
7) Number of persons residing on property to be annexed:N/A
8) If applicable,a detailed description and the purpose of the variance(s)being requested:
The Petitioners have owned the real estate shown on the attached site plan for the past year or so. The
Petitioners desire to take the shown real estate and construct a new Grocery Store facility on the main
portion of the site. There is an existing restaurant building located at the northeast corner of the site which
will remain for the present time and continue in operation. The other existing residential structures will be
removed. A portion of the property is also bisected by Huron Street which is a public right-of-way. As
shown,the proposed Grocery Store will be located on the main portion of the site towards the west side of
the property. The building will be oriented towards Mayflower Road with a parking lot in front of the
building and employee parking on the south side of the site. The main access into the site will be from
Mayflower Road at the southeast corner of the site. There are two existing driveway openings that will
continue to be used. One is on Western Avenue and the other will be a driveway onto Mayflower at the
northeast corner of the site. There is one opening planned onto Hollywood Boulevard at the southwest
corner of the site. This will be limited for use by cars only and no trucks. All deliveries to the site will be
from Mayflower Road or Western Avenue.The Petitioners have attempted to work with the property owner
at the southeast corner of the project site. The property is being used for a Tavern, is zoned residential and
appears to be a legal-non-conforming use. With the requested Vacation of Huron Street, the Petitioners
have designed their site to allow for continued access to the Tavern from the north by providing a driveway
between the two properties. This design will allow for the adjacent owner to continue to access parking
spaces on the north side of the Tavern building that are mostly located in the public right-of-way and for
any truck deliveries to the property. The design layout will also allow for patrons of the adjacent property
to have access onto Mayflower Road or out to Hollywood Boulevard. The adjacent property will still have
an existing driveway opening at the southeast corner of the property which gives a second access as well to
Mayflower Road.
At the present time the petition property is located wholly within the unincorporated area of St.
Joseph County and has a mix of County zoning classifications of Single-family Residential and
Commercial. The Petitioners have been working with the staff's of the Area Plan Commission, the Project
Advisory Team(PAT),the Department of Community Investment and the Building Department. Based on
those meetings, the Petitioners decided to bring the project site into the City of South Bend. In order to
accomplish that task, several procedures are required. The first was to submit to the County Council a
Petition to Vacate Huron Street from Mayflower Road on the east to Hollywood Boulevard on the west.
This would allow for the present bisection of the site with a public right-of-way to be eliminated and allows
for the site to be laid out efficiently for internal circulation as shown on the site plan.The project site would
also be required to be annexed be to brought into the City limits. As part of annexation the project is also
being requested to be rezoned to the CB Community Business District which will allow for the proposed
Grocery Store use and the existing Restaurant facility. The last part of the process is to request several
Variances that will allow for flexibility on the development of the property as shown but still meet the
intent of the City's zoning codes. The Petitioners worked with all the parties mentioned above to create a
development that is functional and will be an asset for the surrounding neighborhoods.
With regards to the required Variances needed for the project, the Petitioners are requesting the
following:
A).From the required Minimum Residential Bufferyard of twenty(20)feet to twelve(12)feet for parking
on the southeast and south property lines as shown;
B).From the requirement that Outdoor seating shall not be located between a building line and a residential
bufferyard to allow for outdoor seating between the south building line and the south residential
bufferyard;
C).From the maximum height of thirty-six(36)inches in height for a fence located in a minimum front
yard to six(6)feet in height for a fence along Hollywood Boulevard;
D).From the required screening of trash containers to none;
E).From the requirement that trash containers not be located between the front façade of the primary
building and the front lot line to allowing trash containers between the west façade of the primary
building and the front(west)lot line;
F).From the required"bail out"lane for drive through facilities to none;
G).From the required landscaping of required perimeter yards and residential bufferyards to landscaping as
shown on the site plan;
H).From the required Foundation Landscaping to landscaping as shown on the site plan;
I). From the required Off-Street Parking Area Screening to none on the east,west,or south parking areas;
J). From the required no off-street loading between the front lot line and the front façade to allowing
loading spaces between front(west)lot line and the west building facade;
The Petitioners request for the Variances,are based on the following statements:
A). From the required Minimum Residential Bufferyard of twenty(20) feet to twelve (12) feet for parking
on the southeast and south property lines as shown. The proposed plan will have parking for employees at
the southeast corner of the site. The Petitioners plan to plant dense evergreen trees along those portions of
the property line to buffer the parking from the adjacent properties. The Petitioners also plan to install
fencing along those property lines to limit access to the site. Approval of this variance should not have an
adverse impact on surrounding properties.
B).From the requirement that Outdoor seating shall not be located between a building line and a residential
bufferyard to allow for outdoor seating between the south building line and the south residential
bufferyard. The site as designed would have an outdoor seating area at the southeast corner of the building
where the Deli will be located. This would place the outdoor seating between the south building line and
the south property line. The seating will be approximately 190 feet from the south property line and will be
screened from the properties to the south by evergreen trees and shrubs as well as existing vegetation. The
Petitioners do not believe approval of this variance should not have a negative impact on adjacent
properties.
C). From the maximum height of thirty-six (36) inches in height for a fence located in a minimum front
yard to six (6) feet in height for a fence along Hollywood Boulevard. The Petitioners plan to add
ornamental fencing along the perimeter of the site along Hollywood Boulevard which will limit access to
the proposed driveway opening. The Petitioners will also be using evergreen screening and existing
vegetation to visually buffer the proposed building from the existing homes on the west side of Hollywood
Boulevard.Approval of this variance should not have an adverse impact on surrounding properties.
D). From the required screening of trash containers to none. The Petitioners are planning to have trash
compactor units to reduce the volume of trash removed from the site. These units are incorporated into the
design of the building layout.These units and any smaller trash containers would be placed against the west
wall of the building. The Petitioners plan to screen the entire view of the building from the west by
evergreen trees and fencing which will create a dense visual buffer from Hollywood Boulevard. Approval
of this variance should not have a negative impact on adjacent properties.
E). From the requirement that trash containers not be located between the front facade of the primary
building and the front lot line to allowing trash containers between the west facade of the primary
building and the front(west)lot line.With the layout of the building oriented towards Mayflower Road and
the main parking area of the facility located on the east side of the site, the placement of the loading area
and trash containers/compactors will be on the west side of the building. This site has frontage on three
roads. This makes placement of the trash containers difficult not to be located between the front facade of
the building (west wall) and the street. As stated, the Petitioners plan to have a dense buffer of evergreen
trees and fencing along this portion of the property which will screen the trash containers from the
Hollywood Boulevard. Approval of this variance should not have an adverse impact on surrounding
properties.
F). From the required"bail out"lane for drive through facilities to none.The drive-up window proposed on
the south side of the building is strictly for coffee pick up for patrons. As this is a single menu item, the
need for a bail-out lane is not required.The Petitioners do not believe approval of this variance should have
a negative impact on any surrounding property.
G). From the required landscaping of required perimeter yards and residential bufferyards to landscaping
as shown on the site plan. The Petitioners worked with the Area Plan Commission staff to determine the
amount of flexibility that could be done in the placement of perimeter landscaping on the project site to still
meet the intent of the zoning ordinance. The site will have landscaping as shown which will have trees and
shrubs in several locations that will help soften the project edge where it abuts streets and residential
properties.Approval of this variance should not have an adverse impact on surrounding properties.
H). From the required Foundation Landscaping to landscaping as shown on the site plan. The Grocery
Store facility will have a few places where some landscaping can be placed, but for the most part this use
does not work well with typical foundation landscaping that is used more with office development and
other limited commercial uses. The Petitioners do not believe approval of this variance should have a
negative impact on any surrounding property.
I). From the required Off-Street Parking Area Screening to none on the east, west, or south parking areas.
The Petitioners have worked with the staff to place landscaping where needed to visually break up the view
for parking areas on the site. In some places the parking is set back far enough, where any impact from the
street is minimal and with the placement of street trees at selected locations, increases the streetscape
appearance of the site. Approval of this variance should not have an adverse impact on surrounding
properties.
O. From the required no off-street loading between the front lot line and the front facade to allowing
loading spaces between front (west) lot line and the west building facade. This request is similar to the
request for the trash containers/compactor. The Petitioners have placed the loading areas as required for the
layout of the building. This places the loading areas along Hollywood Boulevard street frontage. As
described above,the Petitioners are adding a dense screen of evergreens and fencing along the Hollywood
street frontage which will visually buffer the loading areas from the street. The Petitioners do not believe
approval of this variance should have a negative impact on any surrounding property.
9)A statement on how each of the following standards for the granting of Variances is met:
The Petitioners would state that approval of the requested variances will allow for the site to be developed
in a way that works with the surrounding residential and commercial uses, and for the efficient function of
vehicles into and out of the site. The streetscape areas will be enhanced with ornamental fencing and a
variety of landscape plantings. There will also be dense buffering along certain portions of the site to
mitigate any perceived impact of the proposed use to surrounding properties.
The Petitioners would state that the approval of the above requested Variances will not be injurious to
the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community. The Petitioners would also state
that the use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the Variances will not be affected in a
substantially adverse manner.The proposed improvements should help to stabilize values for neighborhood
properties adjacent to the site.
The Petitioners would state that the strict application of the terms of this Ordinance would result in
practical difficulties in the use of the property. The strict enforcement of the Ordinance would make any
proposed improvements very restricted and create a situation where owners could see a negative impact to
their property.
10) If not clearly shown on the Preliminary Site Plan,a site plan showing the requested variances shall also
be submitted.
The Petitioners have supplied a site plan to help show the proposed improvements and reflect the
requested Variances.
11)Application for subdivisions should be obtained from the office of the Area Plan Commission.
The Petitioners do plan to Replat the shown property into a single larger lot.
12)This Petition is signed by at least(CHECK ONE):
_x_a. One-hundred percent(100%)of the owners of the land in the territory sought to be annexed;OR
b.Fifty-one percent(51%)of the owners of the land in the territory sought to be annexed; OR
c.The owners of seventy-five percent(75%)of the total assessed value of the land to be annexed.
13) Attached,and made a part of this PETITION,is:
