®CITY OF SOUTH BEND I OFFICE OF THE CLERK prosperity. And so, to me, that made sense. We have a Census. We annex this and then see how we can work out the zoning that will be pleasing to all the business, the farmers, the community, and everyone involved. That is what I am hoping for. Mr. Wyatt continued, Yes, they can continue farming whether it gets annexed or not. The use would be allowed to continue. We are not going to make them stop just because it is not a permitted use in that district. Committeemember Ferlic stated, Just as a thought, I think we have some information we need to gather but I think it still would be wise,just in case we can do all these things,to hear this tonight, continue in Council Portion Only, and then if we do have the option, we make some of those changes if that is what the Council wants. I think we have the opportunity to do that. I just don't think we have answers right now but that's ok. Committeemember Broden stated, I would like some clarity. I hear the separation of not going to this higher use, right? And maybe going to the default? It sounds like there is interest on Council and with the adjacent neighbors so I get that question but, whose authority is it to actually trigger that?I don't want to be deciding zoning issues on the fly. Is a higher use going to a lower use good practice? Or is annexing it in into the default? I get what the petitioner is asking but is there a default area? And whose authority is that? I want to be very clear that the petitioner, if it is the petitioner,that they can make that request to Council at this juncture. Councilmember White stated, I think we should ask the petitioner, based on what they've heard, where they are at. Are they still seeking the current designation? Committee Chair Davis interjected, Could we, since we have some time tonight,hear the three(3) others? With all due respect to the public hearing, most of the concerns have been acknowledged. The other three (3) we can get through real quick on my thing and then we can at least get them on record because I think they all have the same concern unless there is some new concern that shows up. I don't think there is, but it's possible. Can we get through that? Can we then have a motion on this from the Committee? What's a safe motion to give this kind of thing? Committeemember Broden made a motion to send Bill No. 18-57 to the full Council with no recommendation. Committeemember Ferlic seconded this motion which carried by a voice vote of five (5) ayes. Bill No. 34-18- Blad Annexation Area Committee Chair Davis stated,Uh,hello?Which one(1)of you are going to do this?34-18?Make it real brief. You don't have to go through the PowerPoint. We all know it. I don't remember the official combining of it but that was my initial question. Mr. Palmer shared with me we had to go through each one (1)them. Mr. Palmer confirmed, You do. Committee Chair Davis stated, So that's why I was trying to combine it but we couldn't combine it so, therefore, I initially stated that but I was advised not to.
