f <br />~LI~E El~'TRERPRISE PAI2TI~ERS, L.Pm <br />The petition of Olive Enterprise Partners, L.P. seeking a Special Exception far a Recreational Use far a <br />Gymnastics Stadia in a "LI" Light Industrial District and a variance from the required 640 parking spaces to <br />40, an property located at 6$79 Enterprise Drive, German Township. Zoned' "LI" Light Industrial. <br />MR. JOHN PHAiR: 227 S. Main St., South Bend, Indiana and Pm president of Holladay Properties and also <br />general partner of the petitioner. Thank you 1VIr. Chairman_ I've heard several people that say they're going <br />to be short, but I'm going to be short. VLjith me are Adam and Camile Cole from the Elite Sports Academy <br />and they are the operations of the gymnastics facility that hope to occupy the space in this building. This is <br />an existing building in the Blackthorn park. It literally backs up to the Toll Road. They have the end bay in <br />the building along the Tall Road. We have contacted all of the people that we have sent letters to in regard <br />to this which are alI commercial tenants in the neighborhood. 'There are no residential there and have no <br />negative feedback from them and I don't think you'd hear any tonight and haven't received any letters, I <br />don't believe so. The purpose of the variance is to apply for the Special Exception use of recreation. for the <br />gymnastic stadia in an existing "Light Industrial" zoning in the City of South Bend. We have had two other <br />very similar uses, one in a Similar building in Portage, Indiana, again along Interstate 94 and one in <br />Indianapolis in the Amen Park there. And have found them to be totally successful in terms of their <br />compatibility because these folks operate at night. They typically have fheir students canning between 5 and <br />9 o'clock at night and on weekends and of course the commercial businesses in the building have nobody <br />there typically during those hours. So it has never been a problem at all and certainly the parking. They only <br />have two students today that drive, Everyone else is under 16 and gets dropped off by the parents and so <br />Earth, so we request approval of the variance. Thank you. <br />Ili FAVOR <br />There was no one present to speak in favor of this petition. <br />R~IVIONS')i'I~AI~CE <br />There was no one present to speak in remonstrance of this petition. <br />$6 <br />
