Controller's Report on city funds, but hoped that TIF monies would not be used to build roads and streets that go no where like those along Nimtz Parkway. Council Member Kirsits inquired about the large gray area on the larger map. Mr. Magliozzi stated that that area is in the county, but would be contiguous to the city once the current annexation is approved and therefore would qualify for coming into the city upon proper filings. Mrs. Kopola stated that she applauds the Council for continuing to ask for better maps for the record. Council Member Dieter made a motion, seconded by Council Member Kirsits that Substitute Bill No. 05-123 be recommended favorably to Council. The motion passed. Council Member Kuspa then called for a report and presentation Substitute Bill No. 43-05 which would annex and bring into the city limits and amend the zoning for 50929 Orange Road and adjacent property commonly referred to as Waggoner's Dairy Farm, Inc, Phase II which would be located in Councilmanic District No. 1, in German Township. P.J. Thuringer, a Planner in Area Plan, noted that the substitute Bill received a favorable recommendation from the Area Plan Commission. He provided a picture of the proposed buffering concept for the Mayflower and Adams Road area(copy attached). Council Member Kuspa then called for the petitioner to make the formal presentation. No one came forward. City Clerk John Voorde called the petitioner's office and noted that two (2) of the principals were out of town and that the 3rd principal was on a conference call. Mr. Magliozzi stated that he would prefer that both bills dealing with the annexation be heard at the same Council meeting. Following discussion, Council Member Kirsits made a motion, seconded by Council Member Dieter that Substitute Bill No. 43-05 be continued to the meeting of November 14th in light of the lack of a presenter, and that Substitute Bill No. 05-123 have final action taken by the Council on November 14th. The motion passed. Council Member Kuspa then called for a presentation on Substitute Bill No. 47-05 which would make several text amendments to the Zoning Code in Chapter 21 of the South Bend Municipal Code addressing temporary sales, fencing regulations, landscaping, change the definition of special events, clarify parking and clarify the display of political signs, P.J. Thuringer of Area Plan noted that the Substitute Bill had a public hearing before the Area Plan Commission on September 20, 2005, and sends it to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation. There was no one from the Building Department or the Legal Department to give details on the proposed requested amendments.
