CITY OF SOUTH BEND I OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK <br /> 3:40 p.m. <br /> Bill No.24-38-Resolution Denying the Issuance of a Scrap Metal Dealer License Application <br /> for Pegasus National <br /> Michelle Adams,Business License Administrator,with offices on the 131h floor of the County-City <br /> building, stated that Pegasus National Inc., located at 1201 S. Sheridan Street, South Bend,IN,has <br /> submitted a new application for a Scrap Metal Dealer License. The application is currently under <br /> review by the South Bend Police Department (SBPD), the Fire Inspection Bureau,Neighborhood <br /> Resources, and the Zoning Department. During the review, Neighborhood Resources identified <br /> that the property does not meet the fencing requirements outlined in Section 4-51 L2B of the <br /> Construction Standards& Specifications.Additionally,the location is within one thousand(1,000) <br /> feet of another business, raising further compliance concerns. The Zoning Administration <br /> classified the proposed activity as heavy industrial use. Therefore, Pegasus National Inc. must <br /> apply for a special exception to proceed. This special exception requires approval from both the <br /> Board of Zoning Appeals and the Common Council before the license can be issued. <br /> Bob Palmer, Council Attorney,with offices on the 4`h floor of the County-City building, stated that <br /> an appeal process would be available if the bill is denied; however, he clarified that he would not <br /> be involved in handling that process. <br /> Citizen Member Thomas Gryp inquired whether Pegasus National Inc. operates a scrap metal <br /> business at any other location. <br /> Michelle Adams responded that, to her knowledge, they do not. <br /> Citizen Member Kaine Kanczuzewski then asked whether Pegasus is the property owner or a <br /> subtenant. <br /> Erik Glavich, Director of Growth and Opportunity, with offices on the 14th floor of the County- <br /> City Building,explained that while two(2)businesses currently operate on the property,their exact <br /> relationship remains unclear.
