®CITY OF SOUTH BEND I OFFICE OF THE CLERK cutting barns,maybe some restaurants and some other agricultural uses. There are existing written commitments on the property that stay with it which primarily states that at the time they develop the site,they will have to have a traffic study for Pine because of the potential impact that it might have. The County, City and potentially INDOT will have to come and study that. This comes to you from the Area Plan Commission with a favorable recommendation. Utilizing the Planned Unit Development will allow a large Mixed-Use project that will be a major point of interest for the City of South Bend. There were no additional commitments that come of this. Essentially a PUD is one (1) large written commitment. Everything that is in the PUD is what they are allowed to do. Brian McMorrow, Abor marche Consultants with offices located at 750 Lincoln Way East, stated, I am here on behalf of the SBCC Development Corp.which is the South Bend Chocolate Company. Our challenge was to take Mark's vision, which was in his head, and try to codify it in a way that would provide some structure for future development but not be so rigid that it would limit creativity and the natural form of development. The image you see on the screen here (which is available in the City Clerk's Office) is our current working concept of what we are proposing for the first(1 sh phase of the development. The larger rectangular structure on the lower left-hand side is the Southl Bend Chocolate Company Building. The rectangular building to the right would be the dinosaur museum. And then we are looking to repurpose those out buildings and other structures that are up against the road right now. It is a combination of hard asphalt and some gravel parking areas that would be reminiscent of an agricultural feel. It is conceptual at this point but we want to thank the Community Investment staff,Angela and the Area Plan staff in working together with us to craft what we think is a pretty good framework for development. We do have Regional Cities funding, we have the support of the City and they are preparing sewer and water plans right now. They have helped assemble the properties and we look for your support this evenin . Committee Chair Davis asked, While it is not determined, yet, where the South Shore will go, could you share where the station might be? This location was one (1) of the options of the initial study. Mr. McMorrow replied, It captures it over here (referencing the picture). Ms. Smith stated, When they first (Is') submitted the PUD, they actually had three (3) districts. They had the Core District,Agriculture District and a Transportation District. We just allowed for that transportation use to be in the Core District instead of pigeonholing it, if for some reason that didn't happen, we didn't want them to not be able to use that strip of land. So it has been incorporated into what is allowed within the Core District. We did try to allow for some flexibility in the PUD. So there are options as the PUD develops to modify the plan without going back through the whole process. There are some things that could potentially end up at the Area Board of Zoning Appeals. Committeemember Broden asked, There is an Architectural Review Board that is part of the ordinance, could you address that and whether or not that is a typical set up? And how would be the composition of that? Ms. Smith replied, It is typical. We saw this on Portage Prairie. In that case, Holiday formed an Architectural Review Committee that was handled through that. I think Ignition Park has something similar as well. It is pretty common in PUDs and, in fact, that is one (1) of the reasons EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT 455 County-City Building 1 227 W.Jefferson Bvld South Bend,Indiana 46601;p 574.235.9221 if 574.235.9173 i TTD 574.235.5567 www.southbendin.gov 5
