REGULAR MEETING <br />RESOLUTIONS <br />August 8, 2016 <br />39 -16 A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE <br />CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, APPROVING A <br />PETITION OF THE AREA BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS OF <br />ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, INDIANA FOR THE PROPERTY <br />LOCATED AT 214 OLIVE STREET, SOUTH BEND, INDIANA <br />Councilmember Oliver Davis, Chairperson of the Zoning and Annexation Committee, reported <br />that the Committee met and send this bill forward with a favorable recommendation. <br />Charles Bulot, Building Commissioner with offices at 125 South Lafayette Blvd, served as the <br />presenter for this bill. At the August 3rd 2016 meeting of the Area Board of Zoning Appeals, this <br />petition for 214 Olive Street was heard and comes to the Council with a favorable <br />recommendation. <br />Mike Danch, 1643 Commerce Drive South Bend, served as the petitioner for this bill on behalf <br />of the City of South Bend. This bill would approve a special exception for the site. Due to the <br />current zoning classification, the existing fire station is a legal non - conforming use under the <br />City zoning codes. The current plan is to raise the existing building and build a new fire station. <br />The City has had to go through special exceptions and variances to conform to today's standards. <br />The plan is to build a brand new station and that will be functional before the old station is torn <br />down. We would not want to lose any fire protection for this portion of the City of South Bend <br />for any amount of time. The new building will be at the northwest corner of the site which <br />contains about 2.4 acres. Access for the fire station will be off of Olive Street. There will also be <br />a recreational track to be used by the firefighters for exercising and would also be accessible to <br />the public for their use as well. <br />There were no questions from the Council. <br />Samuel Brown, 222 East Navarre Street, spoke in favor of the bill. The construction of this new <br />firehouse would do a lot for that neighborhood. There has been a lot of crime there recently and <br />hopefully this positive presence would help mitigate the crime. It will bring a lot of attention to <br />the area and may lead to the streets being repaved as well. <br />Rodney Seward, Kentucky Street, spoke in favor of the bill. He stated these are the <br />improvements we need in the City not casinos and bars. <br />No one from the public spoke in opposition to the bill. <br />Councilmember Gavin Ferlic made a motion to adopt Bill 39 -16. Councilmember John Voorde <br />seconded the motion which carried by a roll call vote of seven (7) ayes. <br />16 -59 A RESOLUTION RECONFIRMING THE ADOPTION OF A <br />DECLARATORY RESOLUTION NO 4075 -11 DESIGNATING <br />CERTAIN AREAS WITHIN THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, <br />INDIANA COMMONLY KNOWN AS 3849 SHOWERLUX <br />DRIVE, SOUTH BEND, IN 46628 AS AN ECONOMIC <br />REVITALIZATION AREA FOR PURPOSES OF AN EIGHT (8) <br />YEAR REAL PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENT AND <br />CHANGING OWNERSHIP FROM SBG REALTY, LLC TO <br />SOMASCHINI NORTH AMERICA <br />Councilmember Gavin Ferlic made a motion to accept Substitute Bill 16 -59. Councilmember Dr. <br />David Varner seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of seven (7) ayes. <br />Councilmember Gavin Ferlic, Chairperson of the Community Investment Committee, reported <br />that they met and send this bill forward with a favorable recommendation. <br />
