REGULAR MEETING
<br />FEBRUARY 13, 2017
<br />Mr. Smoke responded, There are approximately four (4) to five (5) trucks.
<br />Councilmember Ferlic asked, How many leave out of the FedE facililty?
<br />Mr. Smoke responded, FedEx could have, I don't know, fifty (59) to sixty (60), or more?
<br />Councilmember Jo M. Broden asked, Type -B versus Type -C 1i
<br />between them?
<br />Mr. McMorrow responded, It's the density or frequency of the
<br />Councilmember Broden asked, So, C is more intense?
<br />Mr. McMorrow responded, That's right.
<br />Councilmember Broden stated, I guess I would like to see that, ;
<br />encroachment in the neighborhood —in a broader context —so tl
<br />suggest. I love how you have listened, and the amount of public
<br />guess I would add that sometimes we forget that corporations ar
<br />Broden recommended that there be ongoing communication bet
<br />neighbors, as a new business owner in the neighborhood.
<br />Councilmember Regina Williams- Preston asked, In that area, i
<br />on the building and tenant going in —what are you thinking ab
<br />say something about retail and stuff like that, and that was not
<br />presentations before.
<br />what's the difference
<br />ping forward. This is an
<br />is just something I would
<br />ngagement there has been. I
<br />neighbors. Councilmember
<br />een the petitioner and their
<br />h of where you have decided
<br />for that? I thought I heard you
<br />I was thinking from
<br />Mr. McMorrow responded, The point I wanted to make is that b
<br />applying the LI district
<br />standards here, all of those uses are possible. The fact is, we have
<br />only had this one opportunity
<br />come to us —to take this existing business that wants to grow here.
<br />Everything else is still open.
<br />Mr. Smoke added, Realistically, it's probably more distribution -
<br />-ype users. The topography of
<br />the site does not allow for several large buildings up there. There
<br />are some depressions in the
<br />land which make smaller buildings more optimal, to go along w
<br />h the larger building to the
<br />north. So, it depends on finding the right tenant that is going to fit
<br />those spaces, but I would say
<br />distribution for at least one (1) of the buildings, going north.
<br />Councilmember Williams- Preston stated, I just wanted to clarif
<br />the public, in meetings past, that they do want this kind of retail
<br />Mr. McMorrow responded, And that sort of thing was anticipat
<br />highway, and again, none of that changes.
<br />This being the time heretofore set for the Public Hearing on the
<br />opponents were given an opportunity to be heard.
<br />Those from the public wishing to speak in favor of this bill:
<br />Jeff Rea, CEO of the South Bend Regional Chamber of Comm(
<br />what this could mean for the northwest side of South Bend. Mr.
<br />South Bend developer that has a great reputation of building qu
<br />with not only the City but the neighbors. He stated that there is
<br />and around this area, and that limited opportunities currently ex
<br />the Chamber of Commerce, he stated that they were in favor of
<br />Those wishing to speak in opposition to this bill:
<br />David Frank, 50520 Burtonwood Drive, South Bend, IN, stated
<br />that the majority of the people in our community are against it.
<br />because they feel as though not only are people not listening, bi
<br />because they feel as though they have no voice. I just think that
<br />here. I don't think that we can come up with the truth on this is,,
<br />making process. Now, this issue is injected in the County. The I
<br />people like you about $1,600 a month to represent them. They
<br />about $38,000 a year to represent them. It's the people in the C(
<br />14
<br />that because I have heard from
<br />over on the other side of the
<br />bill, proponents and
<br />stated that he is excited for
<br />;a stated that this is a first -rate
<br />y projects and working closely
<br />at demand for opportunities in
<br />there. Speaking on behalf of
<br />s development.
<br />I'm against it because I know
<br />think that they are frustrated
<br />I think that they are frustrated
<br />ve have a systemic problem,
<br />to if you have a faulty decision -
<br />-ople in the County pay nine (9)
<br />so pay three (3) commissioners
<br />arty that are going to be affected
