REGULAR MEETING
<br />NOVEMBER 8, 1999
<br />Ms. Catherine M. Brucker, Assistant Zoning Administrator, Building Department, 205 West
<br />Jefferson Boulevard, Suite 100, South Bend, Indiana, gave the report from the Board of Zoning
<br />Appeals.
<br />Mr. Brucker reported that the building at 231 South Michigan Street is existing with a commercial
<br />store front. Locating one (1) apartment on the second floor will not be detrimental to or endanger
<br />public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare. The commercial use is existing and the
<br />addition of a residence will actually improve the surrounding property values. The downtown area
<br />has been planned for location of commercial /residential uses and this use falls within the planned
<br />development for the area. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and necessary facilities are
<br />existing. Further, adequate measures to provide ingress and egress so designated as to minimize
<br />traffic congestion in the public streets are existing.
<br />Ms. Brucker noted that the Board of Zoning Appeals, at its Public Hearing held on October 21, 1999,
<br />sends this petition to the Council with a favorable recommendation.
<br />Mr. Charles Leone, Attorney at Law, 105 East Jefferson Boulevard, Jefferson Centre Suite 400,
<br />South Bend, Indiana, made the presentation on behalf of the Petitioner, David L. Hab and Lois M.
<br />Busse, 231 South Michigan Street, South Bend, Indiana.
<br />Mr. Leone informed the Council that the building in question currently houses the Dainty Maid
<br />Bake Shop on the first floor. The owner would like to renovate one -third (1/3) of the second floor
<br />for use as an apartment. The upstairs is also used as an office and for storage. This use is consistent
<br />with what has been done in that block and will be an asset.
<br />A Public Hearing was held on the Resolution at this time.
<br />There being no one present wishing to speak to the Council either in favor of or in opposition to this
<br />Resolution, Councilmember Pfeifer made a motion to adopt this Resolution. Councilmember Varner
<br />seconded the motion which carried and the Resolution was adopted by a roll call vote of six (6) ayes.
