A portion of Pine Road will be added to the City, and it may have to be updated by the developer. A section of Lincolnway West will be annexed, but as US 20, it will continue to be maintained by the Indiana Department of Transportation. No additional street equipment will be necessary. The annexation area will be in the Council's First District, and it will be served by Police Beat twenty -four (24), Fire Station six (6) located on Western Avenue, Emergency Medics four (4) and five (5), and Code Enforcement area eight (8). No additional personnel or expenditures will be needed for the annexation area. Mr. Divita asked for this committee's favorable recommendation. Committeemember Gavin Ferlic arrived at 3:34 P.M. Committee Chair Oliver Davis mentioned that there was a family that was nearby on Pine, and there were supposed to be some discussions to clarify information. He asked Mr. Danch to clarify that in his comments. Committeemember Jo M. Broden asked when the traffic analysis will take place on Pine Road. Mr. Danch suggested that they hear from the Area Plan Commission. Angela Smith, Area Plan Commission with offices on the 11th floor of the County City Building, the petitioner is seeking to annex and rezone a portion that is sixty -eight (68) acres at the corner of the bypass, Lincolnway and Crane Road. She presented a map of transportation routes that is on file in the City Clerk's Office. The property is mostly zoned Manufacturing in the County right now. A small portion is A- Agricultural, it is bordered by M- Manufacturing to the north, and R- Single Family to the north. Across Pine there is R- Single Family residential and M- Manufacturing in the County to the south. It is a vacant site, and there is not a site plan because this is an undeveloped area and there is no identified leaser. This comes to you with a favorable recommendation subject to written commitment. The written commitment states that if this land were to be developed with access to Pine Road, there would have to be a traffic study. The main concern is that Pine Road is not adequately sized for more traffic than a residential area usually receives. Councilmember Dr. David Varner clarified that this is being annexed by the City and is currently owned by the Airport Authority. Ms. Smith clarified that is correct, but once it is annexed it will be transferred to the City. Mike Danch, Danch Harper and Associates, 1643 Commerce Drive, South Bend, we're asking to transfer the property between the Airport Authority and the City of South Bend for some improvements that the City would make to the airport. They would pick up the seventy (70) acres for future development for industrial use. We're asking to take it over from M- Manufacturing and A- Agriculture and Residential in the County to Light Industrial in the City of South Bend, which will limit the uses that will be allowed in the City of South Bend. I talked to the residents that came to the Area Plan meeting. I shared with them what we are doing and hopefully addressed their concerns that going to the Light Industrial classification adds more 2
