REGULAR MEETING <br />APRIL 9, 2001 <br />intended to apply this to a parcel that is a residential single family dwelling and not to a large acreage <br />parcel. In that instance, the lineal footage or square footage price would prevail. <br />Councilmember King made a motion to accept this amendment. Councilmember Aranowski <br />seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of nine (9) ayes. <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 was no one present wishing to speak to the Council in favor of this bill. <br />The following individuals spoke in opposition to this bill. <br />Ms. Lauren Mast, 61271 US 31 South, South Bend, Indiana, noted that she is considered a County <br />resident and yet the City is telling her that she has to pay for the water and sewer that the City wants <br />to put through. She noted that she welcomes the development of the south side but she does not <br />understand why they are expected to pay and bear the cost of this service. Mr. Gilot informed Ms. <br />Mast that the costs indicated would apply only if she takes advantage of the availability of water and <br />sewer. She is not mandated to give up her well or private on -site septic systems until such time as <br />the well or the septic would fail. At that time, the Health Department may encourage them to <br />connect to the water and sewer that are available. <br />Mr. Kevin Breen, 61281 US 31 South, South Bend, Indiana, advised that his house is the closest to <br />US 31 and is located across from the South Side Cemetery. He noted that his front porch is about <br />twenty -five (25) or thirty (30) feet from US 31 and there are two (2) large trees in front of the house <br />which will be removed for the sewer and water. Those trees are the main barrier between a car or <br />truck coming into his living room. He informed the Council that he discussed this matter with Mr. <br />Larry Magliozzi and he was sent an amended Easement. He noted that some type of barrier to <br />replace the trees is needed to try to deter a car from coming into his house. The amended Easement <br />states that a suitable replacement will be considered. Mr. Breen stated that he wants something more <br />than "will be considered" and would like a definite answer. <br />Councilmember Ujdak informed Mr. Breen that he should talk with either Mr. Larry Magliozzi or <br />Mr. Gary Gilot t to work out those details. Councilmember Ujdak stated that this can be worked out <br />outside of the bill being considered at this time. <br />There was no one else present wishing to speak in opposition to this bill. <br />Councilmember Coleman made a motion that this bill be sent to the full Council favorably as <br />amended. Councilmember Varner seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of nine (9) <br />ayes. <br />RISE AND REPORT <br />Councilmember Coleman made motion to rise and report to the full Council. Councilmember <br />Ujdak seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of nine (9) ayes. <br />1 <br />ATTEST: ATTE, <br />Lore <br />a J.
