r~' <br />Board of Zoning Appeals - .Ianuaty 18, 2007 <br />MR. FEENEY: Based on conversations with Mr. Fozo, Mr. Sassano there arc at this time no additional <br />improvements planned other than the improvements that are currently there. There are two curb cuts on <br />Lincolnway, The curbing along Terrace Ave, is of questionable quality but no additional improvements are <br />planned at this point. <br />MR. SASSANO: And there are no variances required for plantings or anything like that DOn? <br />MR. FOZO: According to the plan I'm looking at ycs there are. It says proposed landscape screening, 3 <br />feet.. . <br />M.R. FEENEY: ['m so--ry, perhaps I dichl't completely understand the question then. There ace screening in <br />Confol'111a11Ce With the SOUth Bend OrdlllallCe that VVOUId be regUlt'ed aCOtnld there. <br />MR. SASSANO: Is it just about plantings or Is there...? My question is, it just seems to me that you could <br />aCCOnllllodate some green space along Lincolnway. And I'm just wondering if ... <br />MR. FEENEY: Certainly and that has been shown on the plan. And Kuert have already been advised that that <br />will be part of any improvements that they will be needing to do out there. <br />MR. SASSANO: Specifically I aln looking at the 20' parking setback line along Lincolnway. And you've got <br />two curb cuts and I'm llOt sin"e yoU heed both Of them and 170 parlClilg spaces that 111 g0% of those setbacks, so <br />why is that not grass? I guess I don't understand why that's not grass. <br />MR. FEENEY: What I was doing is utilizing what was there rather trying to convert any of the hard space. <br />MR.SASSANO: Hence, my question, are you going to be doing any work? <br />MR. FEENEY: Yes. <br />MR. SASSANO: Like the plantings you're gong to be putting in, are those where you're just going to be <br />digging a hole and sticking them in or do you have to rip up concrete anti plant sod and put curbs in? <br />MR. FEENEY: There maybe some concrete that has to be ripped ttp, but tt will t111t1unal. <br />MR. SASSANO: I'nl not trying to increase the cost of the job unreasonably but it does seem to me looking at <br />the drawing that more aCCO1111110C1atlonS for some of the green space in the setback could be made than are <br />shown. <br />MR. FEENEY: And absolutely Mr. Sassano and to be quite honest with you that was the thought process in <br />the landscaping that's shown around the exterior. We currently are showing space enough for 15 cars to park <br />on this particular piece of property with access off of Lincolnway. There are fences along the east and <br />northerly side of these two of these two lots and the remaining area can be devoted to both grass and plantings <br />as required by tine landscaping part of the ordinance so we are showing that yes, landscaping will have to be <br />done out there as part of the site plan. <br />MR. SASSANO: And Don do they still have to submit a plan to you? <br />13 <br />
