REGULAR MEETING <br />APRIL 9.2001 <br />Mr. Mike Danch, President, Danch, Harper & Associates, Inc., 2422 Viridian Drive, Suite 201, <br />South Bend, Indiana, made the presentation for this bill. <br />Mr. Danch informed the Council that he represents the petitioner, Mr. Douglas Hamilton, <br />Scarborough Development, who would like his property located at 20250 Kern Road to be annexed <br />into the City. It is an L- shaped piece of property that has approximately two hundred fifty (250) feet <br />of frontage on Kern Road and backs up to an existing commercial property that was approved by the <br />Council last year where the Wal Mart store was supposed to be built. At some point in the future <br />there may be a residential development but presently there is only one (1) single family house on the <br />property. <br />This being the time heretofore set for the Public Hearing on the above bill, proponents and <br />opponents were given an opportunity to be heard. <br />There being no one present wishing to speak to the Council either in favor of or in opposition to this <br />bill, Councilmember Coleman made a motion that this bill be sent to the full Council favorably and <br />be set for third reading at the May 14, 2001 meeting of the Council. Councilmember Kelly seconded <br />the motion which carried by a voice vote of nine (9) ayes. <br />BILL NO. 15 -01 PUBLIC HEARING ON A BILL OF THE COMMON <br />COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, <br />ANNEXING TO AND BRINGING WITHIN THE CITY <br />LIMITS OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, CERTAIN LAND <br />IN CLAY TOWNSHIP CONTIGUOUS THEREWITH; <br />JERRY & MARGUERY MACRI AND RICHARD & ANN <br />LAFREE, 17,100 BLOCK OF DOUGLAS ROAD, SOUTH <br />BEND, INDIANA <br />Councilmember White reported that the Zoning & Annexation Committee met on this bill and sends <br />it to the Council with a favorable recommendation. <br />Mr. Mike Danch, President, Danch, Harper & Associates, Inc., 2422 Viridian Drive, Suite 201, <br />South Bend, Indiana, made the presentation for this bill. <br />Mr. Danch noted that he represents the petitioners, Mr. and Mrs. Macri and Mr. and Mrs. Lafree who <br />own property at 17,100 block of Douglas Road. The property is presently vacant. The site plan <br />submitted shows the first phase and the first portion of the property that by state law they are allowed <br />to take in. Because of the contiguity rule they can only take in the first 4.4 acres of the property. <br />They will come back to the Council at a later date, after this is annexed, and bring in the rest of the <br />property which fronts out onto Douglas Road. At that point, they may also have a different <br />development in mind for that parcel of ground. It will be hooked up to City water and sewer at the <br />owners expense at a future date. <br />This being the time heretofore set for the Public Hearing on the above bill, proponents and <br />opponents were given an opportunity to be heard. <br />There being no one present wishing to speak to the Council either in favor of or in opposition to this <br />bill, Councilmember Coleman made a motion that the substitute version of this bill be sent to the full <br />Council favorably and be set for third reading at the May 14, 2001 meeting of the Council. <br />Councilmember White seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of nine (9) ayes. <br />BILL NO. 9 -01 PUBLIC HEARING ON A BILL TO VACATE THE <br />FOLLOWING DESCRIBED PROPERTY: THE 10 FOOT <br />WIDE ALLEY LYING NORTH OF, AND ADJACENT TO <br />LOT 1, THE 10 FOOT WIDE ALLEY LYING SOUTH OF, <br />
