<br />In Re: A proposed ordinance and site development plan of Robert and Dorothy Allen, to zone
<br />from "A" Residential, "A" Height and Area, to "C" Commercial, "A" Height and Area,
<br />property located.on the south side of Ireland Road, west of Miami, City of South Bend.
<br />Gentlemen:
<br />The attached rezoning petition of Robert and Dorothy Allen was legally advertised August
<br />7, 1976. The Area Plan Commission gave it a public hearing August 17, 1976, at which time the
<br />following action was taken:
<br />"Upon a motion by Robert Lehman, being seconded by June Stratton, and carried
<br />with Paul Klein, Rollin Farrand, Russell Rothermel, and Joseph Serge voting
<br />"Nay ", the petition of Robert and Dorothy Allen, to zone from "A" Residential,
<br />"A" Height and Area, to "C" Commercial, "A" Height and Area, property located
<br />on the south side of Ireland Road, west of Miami, City of South Bend, is re-
<br />turned to the Common Council with an unfavorable recommendation for the fol-
<br />lowing reasons: (a) it would establish the precedent for enabling additional
<br />fronting properties along Ireland Road to be zoned commercial. This would be
<br />detrimental in that within the existing commercial areas, there are presently
<br />vacant sites which are properly zoned and could be used for the proposed use.
<br />This would also allow commercial development to traverse an existing topographic
<br />barrier (10 feet difference in elevation) and spread into a residential area.
<br />(b) because of the existing topographic barrier, the access drive for the pro-
<br />posed rezoning will not be directly connected to the access drives serving the
<br />existing commercial area. During the development of the existing commercial area
<br />access points were limited. Since the proposed access drive will not be connected
<br />to existing drives, uncontroller turning motions will result and may necessitate
<br />the construction of a turning lane."
<br />The deliberations of the Area Plan Commission and points considered in arriving at the
<br />above decision are shown in minutes of the public hearing and will be forwarded to you at a later
<br />date to be made a part of this report. Attached for your consideration in the review of this
<br />matter is a copy of the Area Plan Commission Staff Report.
<br />Very truly yours,
