•CITY OF SOUTH BEND I OFFICE OF THE CLERK Committeemember Broden stated, I think I would like that as a concern going forward. I think that is a legitimate concern that neighbors bring to something as sort of a unique situation when you have youth and a common gathering location. We can't always count on an adult being there with them to cross the street. Larry Magliozzi, Executive Director of the Area Plan Commission with offices on the 11 th floor of the County-City Building, stated, The schedule kind of got ahead of me and I wasn't able to get on the agenda. He then passed out a piece of paper which is available in the City Clerk's Office. He continued, This is a quick fix to the Sub-division Ordinance. You folks don't really see Sub- division plats at all but for a long time, actually since 2004, there has been some disconnect between the Sub-division requirements and the new Zoning Ordinance established back then. Councilmember Scott stated,Hold on.How are we talking about this when we don't have it on the agenda? Vice Committee Chair Voorde replied, Because this isn't really up for any action tonig . This is an update so I thought it being part of an update it could be talked about. Councilmember Scott stated Technically, should be listed. But lease, o ahead. > g Y p Mr. Magliozzi continued, In 2015, the Flood Plain Ordinance was totally replaced per the requirements of FEMA. We had some old terminology in the Sub-division section of the Zoning Ordinance so I have to remove those so that there is no conflict between that section and the new Sub-division section. So all the definitions of flood plain come out. On the flip side, we have Zoning Ordinance. In 2004 we added a disconnect between the Sub-division Ordinance and the o g , new Single-Family Zoning District which was SF-2. That has a forty (40) foot requirement and that is not covered in the Sub-division section of the Ordinance. Any time there is a plat that has forty (40) foot wide lots, we have to have the Plat Committee waive the requirements. So we are taking that out because it is, again,covered by the Zoning Ordinance section. That is the same with the second (2nd) item. The third(3rd) item being the depth to width ratio,neither Public Works nor our agency has a problem with that anymore. Item number five (5) refers to Industrial and Commercial Districts. It seems like more of the retailers want to buy their footprint as opposed to being part of an overall leased property. That creates a situation where you have a lot that doesn't have frontage on improved dedicated public right of way. The Sub-division process handles that through easements and,today,they would have to go through a variance in front of the Area Board of Zoning Appeals for zero (0) lot frontage. We are just getting rid of that requirement because it was handled through another process. Councilmember Scott stated,This is the first(1St)time seeing this and I have some questions about this. Update- Potential Annexations-James Mueller, Community Investment James Mueller,Executive Director for Community Investment with offices on the 14th floor of the County-City Building, stated, This will also tie into the next presentation (referencing a presentation available in the City Clerk's Office).Here is a broad overlook at potential annexations we are looking at that may come before you this ye . There is a bit of a timeline. We look at voluntary, where the property owner signs and files a petition.
