®CITY OF SOUTH BEND I OFFICE OF THE CLERK Committee Chair Davis then opened the floor to questions from Committee and Council Members. Committeemember Jo M. Broden stated, You have always done a great job in keeping Council informed with a lot of detail. Because these are changes, I would like to really understand them visually and the implications of those changes overall. At this point in time, I don't feel informed about this but if others have read this in detail and understand it, I'm only one (1)vote. That is not to discredit you, you have done a great job, but this one (1) I have no awareness on at all. Committee Chair Davis stated, I do bring up that concern. You presented some of this at our last couple of meetings? Mr. Divita replied, In June 2018 at the Committee level to review some of the standards in more detail. Again,this is just cleaning it up and getting rid of duplicate standards. Committeemember Broden followed up, And I guess relative to my comment, there are pieces in here and approvals that were made by the Board of Public Works,right? So the latest standards as adopted by the Board. When did those go into effect? Mr. Divita replied, Their latest version was earlier this year and just within the last couple of months. That way it gives the Board flexibility over time to amend those without us having to come back and change the Subdivision Ordinance. Those mainly relate to the width of streets and the subsequent construction standards of how streets or sidewalks are built. That probably should have never been in the Subdivision Ordinance to begin with. Committeemember Broden then asked, So if I go back to June 2018 at the Committee level, we spoke about this? Mr. Divita replied, Yes, I think we spoke a little bit on the floodplain. Committeemember Broden stated, That could have been one (1) that I missed. That would be on me. s Committee Chair Davis then opened the floor to members of the public wishing to peak in favor of or in opposition to the legislation. There were none. He then turned the floor back to the Committee for further comment or main motion. Committeemember Gavin Ferlic made a motion send Bill No. 37-18 to the full Council with a favorable recommendation. Committeemember John Voorde seconded this motion which carried by a voice vote of four(4) ayes and one (1)nay(Councilmember Jo M. Broden). Councilmember Tim Scott arrived at the meeting at 5:40 p.m. Update: Discussion Regarding the Proposed City of South Bend Zoning & Annexation Board Committee Chair Davis stated, I know in our 2019 budget it is slated to have the area planning to be held in house. There is an ordinance that is supposed to be coming to us to have that situation.
