CITY OFSOUTH BEND OFFICE OF THE CLERK <br /> an access road in between Steel Warehouse and this property. That way we aren't wasting truck <br /> drivers' time by going up and around the roundabout. I think that is something to look at. <br /> Sue Kesim,4022 Kennedy Drive, stated, One(1)thing I always look at with these projects is what <br /> is being done to make it more sustainable. That is a big roof. Maybe solar panels? Maybe a green <br /> roof to reduce the carbon footprint and cool the building down? What are you doing for water <br /> drainage? I want to know you are becoming a sustainable member of our community. That does <br /> save you money on utilities, as well, but that is something I'm interested in knowing. I'm curious <br /> about the green features you are going to use. <br /> Mr. Andre replied, I appreciate the shortcut idea as that would save a tremendous amount of <br /> money. We would welcome anyone suggestions to make that possible. We look at this in phases. <br /> Phase One (1) is the mess we have to build out of. We added some green space already but there <br /> are eight(8) acres to clean up first(1St). The seller is required to remove the hot tub looking object <br /> as it was a containment bunker for diesel fuel tanks. It now contains water. They are also required <br /> to remove the underground storage tank. From that perspective, we are already helping the <br /> environment, but I appreciate your comments and we will look into adding other green features <br /> after Phase One(1). <br /> Mr. Buckenmeyer stated, Their business model is a really sustainable business model. They are <br /> taking what would otherwise be steel going to scrap, in some manner, and putting it to use. <br /> Due to the lack of a quorum to take any official action on Bill Nos. 19-07, 19-09, and 19-11, all <br /> three(3)bills were sent to the full Council with no recommendation. <br /> Bill No. 19-03-Approving and Adopting the Southeast Neighborhood Master Plan <br /> Per the request of the petitioner, Bill No. 19-03 was continued indefinitely. <br /> With no further business, Committee Chair Ferlic adjourned the Community Investment <br /> Committee meeting at 4:17 p.m. <br /> Respectfully Submitted, <br /> Gavin Ferlic, Committee Chair <br /> EXCELLENCE ACCOUNTABILITY INNOVATION INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT <br /> 455 County-City Building 1227 W.Jefferson Bvld South Bend,Indiana 46601 p 574.235.9221 f 574.235.9173 TTD574.235.5567 www.southbendin.gov <br /> 4 <br />
