REGULAR MEETING August 8, 2016 <br />CHAPTER 21 OF THE SOUTH BEND MUNICIPAL CODE, <br />ARTICLE 3 BY ADDING GROUP RESIDENCE TO SPECIAL <br />EXCEPTION USES IN CBD CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT; <br />AND SECTION 11 BY AMENDING THE DEFINITIONS OF <br />DWELLING UNIT, FAMILY AND GROUP RESIDENCE. <br />Councilmember Gavin Ferlic made a motion to accept the substitutes of both Bill 37 -16 and 38- <br />16. Councilmember Regina Williams- Preston seconded the bill which carried by a voice vote of <br />seven (7) ayes. <br />Councilmember Gavin Ferlic made a motion to send both Bill 37 -16 and 38 -16 to the Zoning and <br />Annexation Committee and set for second and third reading on August 22nd 2016. <br />Councilmember Randy Kelly seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of seven (7) <br />ayes. <br />NEW BUSINESS <br />Council Vice President reminded the Council to send the member's TIF "wish list" to Alkeyna <br />Aldridge in the Clerk's Office and also to send a list of streets they would like to see repaved to <br />Councilmember Jo M. Broden. <br />PRIVILEDGE OF THE FLOOR <br />Samuel Brown, 222 East Navarre Street South Bend, commended Oliver Davis because he is <br />doing an excellent job on the issues that are affecting our City. Mr. Brown stated he was <br />fortunate enough to attend a press conference that announced the City is putting a statue of Dr. <br />Martin Luther King and Father Hesburgh in downtown South Bend. Mr. Brown was concerned <br />that on the back of the press release for the event was a note that stated it was a completely <br />separate project from the MLK street renaming which the City continues to work on and hopes to <br />resolve by the end of the year. Even with that unfortunate comment this statue project will still <br />be a great thing for South Bend. Mr. Brown expressed disappointment with the South Bend <br />Tribune publishing an article stating that the MLK Street Renaming Committee broke the law <br />and also with attorney Mr. Masters for saying there are residents of South Bend who do not want <br />to live on MLK Drive but has not released their names. <br />Jan Michalski, 1117 South 31St South Bend IN, spoke against the proposed fire station in <br />Potawatomi Park. She expressed her frustration that the City has not really responded to their <br />complaints about the proposed fire station. She stated she made two (2) phone calls that day to <br />Aaron Perri and to Chief Cox and neither have called her back. As citizens get involved and put <br />effort into an issue it would be nice if there was communication between the City and residents. <br />Fire Station #9 could go elsewhere and there are other properties that could be used besides the <br />park. <br />Doris Bradley Reed, 3310 Dunham South Bend IN 46619, spoke to the Council about inclusion <br />in the City's sidewalk projects that is improving her neighborhood but her block has not been <br />addressed. She has lived at 3310 Dunham Street for forty -seven (47) years and has improved and <br />taken care of her property. She stated her neighbors and her are concerned that although the <br />blocks north, south, east, and west of her property are getting new sidewalks there seems to be no <br />plan to improve the sidewalks on their block. She asked that the City extend the project to her <br />block as well so that they will not be treated differently than other blocks. Also, she requested <br />that all of Kentucky Street between Western and Sample be included in the sidewalk program for <br />the area as well. <br />Melvin Reed, 3310 Dunham Street South Bend IN 46619, stated he came to South Bend in 1965 <br />as an architectural engineer and he chose South Bend over other communities because the City <br />appealed to him in ways others did not. His job was to design and to make things work. He stated <br />he likes what is happening to South Bend now and there is a lot of good design going on. He <br />stated his concern though is the property values in the City. His block's entire property value will <br />E:3 <br />
