same be 109 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,370 approved 110 00:07:37,380 --> 00:07:40,680 Point voter I did not approve any of 111 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,960 those minutes we haven't had any changes 112 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,900 since the last discussion 113 00:07:44,900 --> 00:07:48,120 as I said last time what's in those 114 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,419 minutes is uh just the list of the bill 115 00:07:51,419 --> 00:07:56,280 and the votes there is uh zero substance 116 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,319 provided in the minutes 117 00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:01,860 if you look at the statutory requirement 118 00:08:01,860 --> 00:08:03,419 for the minutes 119 00:08:03,419 --> 00:08:05,580 it's section five 120 00:08:05,580 --> 00:08:10,670 14 1.5-4 121 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,139 item number three it requires a general 122 00:08:13,139 --> 00:08:15,000 substance of all matters proposed 123 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,740 discussed and decided 124 00:08:16,740 --> 00:08:20,539 and uh in my opinion just putting the 125 00:08:20,539 --> 00:08:23,580 votes who voted yes and no does not 126 00:08:23,580 --> 00:08:29,689 fulfill that 127 00:08:29,699 --> 00:08:34,490 little substance 128 00:08:34,500 --> 00:08:37,380 I'm just stating 129 00:08:37,380 --> 00:08:39,000 the build titles are the general 130 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,940 assessment stating my opinion and these 131 00:08:41,940 --> 00:08:49,130 are the council minutes 132 00:08:49,140 --> 00:08:52,260 council member Warner has a 133 00:08:52,260 --> 00:08:53,820 I'm not going to give a legal opinion on 134 00:08:53,820 --> 00:08:56,640 whether or not they suffice but his 135 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,380 representation is accurate that the 136 00:08:58,380 --> 00:09:01,380 minutes reflect just the 137 00:09:01,380 --> 00:09:04,080 uh just the bill itself and the vote 138 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,180 doesn't contain substance beyond that 139 00:09:06,180 --> 00:09:08,640 and 140 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,519 feedback we haven't seen any other 141 00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:13,380 versions of those events 142 00:09:13,380 --> 00:09:15,300 and I think it's up to the council these 143 00:09:15,300 --> 00:09:17,220 are the council minutes and if the 144 00:09:17,220 --> 00:09:19,080 council wants to vote to approve them 145 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,680 and believes that a vote is uh 146 00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:24,600 substantive enough and fulfills that 147 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,399 then so be 148 00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:28,380 I think the recommendation comes from 149 00:09:28,380 --> 00:09:32,519 the subcommittee it does yes so 150 00:09:32,519 --> 00:09:35,279 so at this point time I have not 151 00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:36,720 approved and do not recommend the 152 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:46,070 minutes 153 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,519 um 154 00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:50,100 information Specialists we checked with 155 00:09:50,100 --> 00:09:55,560 him and he said that this is what we 156 00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:58,740 what we are required to provide legally 157 00:09:58,740 --> 00:10:02,220 that the bill title is the substance and 158 00:10:02,220 --> 00:10:04,620 the date in who was at the meeting 159 00:10:04,620 --> 00:10:07,740 because the because the minutes are 160 00:10:07,740 --> 00:10:10,140 because the meetings are on video 161 00:10:10,140 --> 00:10:11,700 and we can 162 00:10:11,700 --> 00:10:14,279 um refer to the video we can bookmark 163 00:10:14,279 --> 00:10:15,600 the video 164 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,440 and um move forward with there we don't 165 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,100 have the resources uh the resources have 166 00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:26,399 been taken from us to to 167 00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:29,480 to a summarization or verbatim minutes 168 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,820 and so this is what we are doing with 169 00:10:32,820 --> 00:10:38,590 the resources that we've been allocated 170 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,420 so I got a few responses to that Mr 171 00:10:42,420 --> 00:10:48,600 Britt is a advisor uh he's not the 172 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,640 deciding opinion on these and again 173 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,620 these are the council minutes these 174 00:10:52,620 --> 00:10:54,380 aren't Mr britz minutes 175 00:10:54,380 --> 00:10:56,880 and these are all minutes I will say 176 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,339 these are all minutes from when you were 177 00:10:59,339 --> 00:11:01,920 fully staffed 178 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,470 so with that 179 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,579 I think 180 00:11:08,579 --> 00:11:11,160 we have a motion on the floor 181 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,700 and for Council to for us to have the 182 00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:18,480 roll call to accept the minutes and uh I 183 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,000 think Clark Jones uh you and I we can 184 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,760 have a further discussion I believe we 185 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,160 had sat down before to talk about uh the 186 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,200 minutes and also probably with speaking 187 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,459 with Council and Mr Britt I know we 188 00:11:32,459 --> 00:11:34,140 talked about having him come in as well 189 00:11:34,140 --> 00:11:35,640 so 190 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,279 um I think we need to move and let 191 00:11:38,279 --> 00:11:40,860 parliamentarian do you have any input 192 00:11:40,860 --> 00:11:43,320 uh president McBride I don't believe 193 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,740 there's a motion on the floor from any 194 00:11:46,740 --> 00:11:49,260 council member so there is no 195 00:11:49,260 --> 00:11:51,180 recommendation from the subcommittee I 196 00:11:51,180 --> 00:11:52,079 think that 197 00:11:52,079 --> 00:11:55,500 the councilor Warner had rejected if I 198 00:11:55,500 --> 00:11:58,740 was correct he just said he does not 199 00:11:58,740 --> 00:12:01,320 approve the proper motion would be to 200 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,079 approve the minutes there is no motion 201 00:12:04,079 --> 00:12:07,680 out there to approve so there's nothing 202 00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:09,899 for the council to do at this time okay 203 00:12:09,899 --> 00:12:13,079 thank you for the clarification 204 00:12:13,079 --> 00:12:16,980 the floor all the promotion or not 205 00:12:16,980 --> 00:12:20,040 there's a tour open for motions it comes 206 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,949 out of the minutes committee 207 00:12:24,959 --> 00:12:28,560 which is pounding subcommittee is the 208 00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:30,540 proper entity to make the motion to 209 00:12:30,540 --> 00:12:32,880 accept the minutes and there has been no 210 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:40,690 motion by that subcommittee 211 00:12:40,700 --> 00:12:45,730 counselor wax

question is for Bob 268 00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:19,800 and I don't need to belabor this but 269 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,139 this I've never seen this before so 270 00:15:22,139 --> 00:15:23,579 bear with me 271 00:15:23,579 --> 00:15:25,740 so these minutes 272 00:15:25,740 --> 00:15:28,740 and so on are never approved then what 273 00:15:28,740 --> 00:15:30,120 happens 274 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,880 I mean as it relates to the work of the 275 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,060 council and even the clerk's office 276 00:15:35,060 --> 00:15:38,100 we're in violation of state law at the 277 00:15:38,100 --> 00:15:41,600 minute it's not approved and so what is 278 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,500 the 279 00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:46,199 that the remedy would be up to no the 280 00:15:46,199 --> 00:15:48,240 backlash is what I was looking for was 281 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,980 the consequence for not approving these 282 00:15:49,980 --> 00:15:53,760 uh if someone could sue 283 00:15:53,760

00:16:03,660 this taken care of as soon as possible 287 00:16:03,660 --> 00:16:05,940 because we will be the ones to get sued 288 00:16:05,940 --> 00:16:08,399 not the clerk's office 289 00:16:08,399

neighborhood and 634 00:30:57,419 --> 00:30:59,760 one of the things that we have talked to 635 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,159 neighbors and people have spoke out 636 00:31:02,159 --> 00:31:04,380 against it it was that the neighbors are 637 00:31:04,380 --> 00:31:05,580 looking for something that's going to 638 00:31:05,580 --> 00:31:08,159 help lift the neighborhood up and they 639 00:31:08,159 --> 00:31:11,100 don't feel that a vape shop is is is 640 00:31:11,100 --> 00:31:13,620 what would be good for the neighborhood 641 00:31:13,620 --> 00:31:16,200 and what it attracts so 642 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,240 I like to hear any of the council 643 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,039 members that would like to make a 644 00:31:20,039 --> 00:31:23,810 statement 645 00:31:23,820 --> 00:31:26,940 councilman chair I was just are you open 646 00:31:26,940 --> 00:31:30,000 to a question yes I uh the question I 647 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,299 want to ask when we 648 00:31:33,299 --> 00:31:35,460 tabled this last time I think the 649 00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:38,159 request was to the therapy conversations 650 00:31:38,159 --> 00:31:41,820 with the neighbors has that happened and 651 00:31:41,820 --> 00:31:46,679 can you report on that we've talked to 652 00:31:46,679 --> 00:31:48,419 um various people from different parts 653 00:31:48,419 --> 00:31:51,240 of the first district especially in that 654 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:52,020 area 655 00:31:52,020 --> 00:31:54,419 and many people 656 00:31:54,419 --> 00:31:56,640 would like to see 657 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,080 something that's going to lift the 658 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,320 community up something that's going to 659 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:04,080 not bring it down not bring another 660 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,380 negative element to the community and so 661 00:32:07,380 --> 00:32:09,360 as I've talked to different people 662 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,659 that's been what what they've said to me 663 00:32:12,659 --> 00:32:14,460 and we even had people that spoke out 664 00:32:14,460 --> 00:32:17,880 against it in in the council meeting yes 665 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,820 Angela can you address the restrictions 666 00:32:20,820 --> 00:32:23,580 that were mentioned 667 00:32:23,580 --> 00:32:26,279 in relation to the drive-through in 668 00:32:26,279 --> 00:32:28,140 relation to that property as a whole 669 00:32:28,140 --> 00:32:31,799 like what can it be so there are some 670 00:32:31,799 --> 00:32:34,020 deed restrictions which go outside of 671 00:32:34,020 --> 00:32:36,179 the zoning enforcement so those wouldn't 672 00:32:36,179 --> 00:32:40,260 be for us to enforce in terms of a 673 00:32:40,260 --> 00:32:41,640 drive-through drive through would also 674 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,200 be a special exception so it would come 675 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:44,279 in front of the council if there was 676 00:32:44,279 --> 00:32:45,440 going to be a drive-through restaurant 677 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,760 not sure the site's really big enough 678 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,659 for that but it could be a wider range 679 00:32:51,659 --> 00:32:54,860 of retail uses carryout restaurant 680 00:32:54,860 --> 00:32:57,659 it could be a dine-in restaurant it 681 00:32:57,659 --> 00:32:59,059 could be 682 00:32:59,059 --> 00:33:02,820 of any other retail other than a liquor 683 00:33:02,820 --> 00:33:05,100 store or tobacco or vape 684 00:33:05,100 --> 00:33:08,159 without a special exception 685 00:33:08,159 --> 00:33:10,980 okay thank you 686 00:33:10,980 --> 00:33:13,799 the other question I had is there has 687 00:33:13,799 --> 00:33:16,490 been a 688 00:33:16,500 --> 00:33:21,360 a gentleman with a smoker and kind of a 689 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,419 portable restaurant kind of food 690 00:33:24,419 --> 00:33:25,620 and 691 00:33:25,620 --> 00:33:27,889 um 692 00:33:27,899 --> 00:33:30,600 are there people that are interested in 693 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,399 utilizing that property for other 694 00:33:32,399 --> 00:33:34,620 purposes that 695 00:33:34,620 --> 00:33:38,460 that information could be shared or 696 00:33:38,460 --> 00:33:41,940 I think that there we we've talked the 697 00:33:41,940 --> 00:33:43,740 city and there may be some ways to 698 00:33:43,740 --> 00:33:45,659 incentivize something that's going to 699 00:33:45,659 --> 00:33:47,820 lift the neighborhood up 700 00:33:47,820 --> 00:33:49,559 um there are people who may be 701 00:33:49,559 --> 00:33:52,140 interested in pursuing an opportunity 702 00:33:52,140 --> 00:33:55,140 there uh again that that comes down to 703 00:33:55,140 --> 00:33:58,320 the finances and all of that but as far 704 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,600 as what what transformation Ministries 705 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,320 down the street with uh the issues that 706 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,600 we have with the liquor stores and the 707 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,000 gas stations and all of that stuff the 708 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,119 residents didn't feel like they wanted 709 00:34:12,119 --> 00:34:13,859 something that was going to continue to 710 00:34:13,859 --> 00:34:22,369 compound the issue 711 00:34:22,379 --> 00:34:24,000 any other questions 712 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,760 let's have one for clarification because 713 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,320 I thought I heard two different things 714 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,560 so the special exemption is for liquor 715 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,320 stores or 716 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,139 tobacco or is it not for this type of 717 00:34:37,139 --> 00:34:38,520 establishment that's not what they're 718 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,320 requesting tonight that's the type of 719 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,419 retail like they're only requesting a 720 00:34:42,419 --> 00:34:44,940 special exception for smoke vape and 721 00:34:44,940 --> 00:34:47,220 tobacco they're not asking for liquor 722 00:34:47,220 --> 00:34:49,260 store tonight but they have to have the 723 00:34:49,260 --> 00:34:51,359 special exemption in order to have that 724 00:34:51,359 --> 00:34:53,220 type of business there if they wanted to 725 00:34:53,220 --> 00:34:57,300 yes I believe that's probably excluded 726 00:34:57,300 --> 00:34:58,740 under their deed restrictions if I 727 00:34:58,740 --> 00:35:03,710 recall also so 728 00:35:03,720 --> 00:35:06,240 this would only this but as I mentioned 729 00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:07,800 on the other special exceptions special 730 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:08,880 exceptions are a little bit different 731 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,040 than zoning and that it would only allow 732 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,859 the specific use to which the council 733 00:35:13,859 --> 00:35:15,540 was reviewing and would be subject to 734 00:35:15,540 --> 00:35:23,390 what was presented 735 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,640 if there's no other discussion yes yes 736 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:27,720 sure 737 00:35:27,720 --> 00:35:31,380 um I I you left here last time because I 738 00:35:31,380 --> 00:35:33,960 remember I remember voting against it 739 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,119 not because of the business because of 740 00:35:36,119 --> 00:35:38,460 what you guys were planning to do 741 00:35:38,460 --> 00:35:40,320 your conversation with the business 742 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,260 owner because I left with the impression 743 00:35:43,260 --> 00:35:45,240 on the record that you were going to 744 00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:47,280 speak with a business owner 745 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:51,780 about alternative uses perhaps 746 00:35:51,780 --> 00:35:54,240 you know a certain time of selling of 747 00:35:54,240 --> 00:35:55,980 the tobacco products 748 00:35:55,980 --> 00:35:57,839 I I don't know what was that 749 00:35:57,839 --> 00:36:00,720 conversation like we did not we did not 750 00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:03,839 say that we would meet with the business 751 00:36:03,839 --> 00:36:06,480 owners about certain times of no no I 752 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,460 didn't say that I said 753 00:36:08,460 --> 00:36:10,619 for example what I'm asking you what was 754 00:36:10,619 --> 00:36:11,760 your conversation with the business 755 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,520 owner when we when we met with the 756 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,859 business owner we did talk to him about 757 00:36:16,859 --> 00:36:19,980 other opportunities of another type of 758 00:36:19,980 --> 00:36:21,660 business that would be something that 759 00:36:21,660 --> 00:36:23,579 could lift up the neighborhood 760 00:36:23,579 --> 00:36:26,760 and we did have that discussion 761 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,760 and the result of the discussion was 762 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,920 it will be determined on the things that 763 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,680 the city would be willing to to help 764 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,880 with and um again that was to see if 765 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,800 there was interested because there is a 766 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,760 person who's seller uh barbecue there in 767 00:36:44,760 -->

00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,520 fit than a vape shop 835 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,140 you know 836 00:39:28,140 --> 00:39:30,060 um when you 837 00:39:30,060 --> 00:39:34,260 Define something or whatever that is 838 00:39:34,260 --> 00:39:36,900 the market now I talked about this 839 00:39:36,900 --> 00:39:39,960 before has to suggest 840 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,119 the things that you are defining as 841 00:39:42,119 --> 00:39:43,560 something 842 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,920 this gentleman is a investor 843 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,640 you cannot redefine what the elements 844 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,859 are already saying in that particular 845 00:39:52,859 --> 00:39:54,420 area 846 00:39:54,420 --> 00:39:58,560 if the area is low income 847 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,220 chances of you bringing in a Taj Mahal 848 00:40:01,220 --> 00:40:04,920 or is next to zero it's just how the 849 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,200 market goes it performs 850 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,720 with the demographic 851 00:40:09,720 --> 00:40:11,700 and the value of the particular area 852 00:40:11,700 --> 00:40:14,160 there's nothing you can do to change 853 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,099 that so are you saying because this is a 854 00:40:17,099 --> 00:40:20,820 African-American area or a place that 855 00:40:20,820 --> 00:40:22,400 has been 856 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,859 that has had some some downturn that the 857 00:40:25,859 --> 00:40:28,619 only we should accept just anything in 858 00:40:28,619 --> 00:40:30,599 our neighborhood no sir what I am saying 859 00:40:30,599 --> 00:40:31,500 to you 860 00:40:31,500 --> 00:40:35,400 is that in order to get that area the 861 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,440 way that you desire it to be the way you 862 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,000 Vision it it should be 863 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,680 there's a number of things that are 864 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,660 going against it one is the school 865 00:40:42,660 --> 00:40:44,339 that'll shut down down the street which 866 00:40:44,339 --> 00:40:47,040 is called LaSalle the other issue that 867 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,220 you have in that area is called traffic 868 00:40:49,220 --> 00:40:52,320 earlier there was a presentation from 869 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,200 property vacation and another committee 870 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,660 a property vacation and they talked 871 00:40:57,660 --> 00:41:00,359 about the traffic riding it up and down 872 00:41:00,359 --> 00:41:04,020 the alleyway that same logic has to be 873 00:41:04,020 --> 00:41:05,280 applied to when you're talking about 874 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:06,660 Lincolnway you're talking about Western 875 00:41:06,660 --> 00:41:08,040 you're talking about Portage and other 876 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,859 areas that are considered corridors so 877 00:41:10,859 --> 00:41:13,440 in order for you to realize 878 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,200 uh new development at a higher level 879 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,480 your traffic count has to be 880 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,520 High okay it has nothing to do with 881 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,680 being black or being white or any ethnic 882 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,079 group it has everything to do with what 883 00:41:25,079 --> 00:41:28,380 the the the outliers economic outliers 884 00:41:28,380 --> 00:41:31,020 are saying to you your economic outliers 885 00:41:31,020 --> 00:41:34,680 are not saying that this area is primed 886 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,599 for high development 887 00:41:36,599 --> 00:41:38,640 so in order for you to get to the high 888 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,200 development you can't tell a small 889 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,440 business investors no because they are 890 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,060 going to bring traffic to that area 891 00:41:45,060 --> 00:41:47,640 which will increase 892 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,920 the dollar amount for that area 893 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,040 so no it has nothing to do with race it 894 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,660 has everything to do with what the 895 00:41:54,660 --> 00:41:56,700 market and how the market performs in 896 00:41:56,700 --> 00:41:59,160 certain areas for instance 897 00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,260 when Mishawaka thought it was a great 898 00:42:01,260 --> 00:42:03,900 idea to open their streets up you 899 00:42:03,900 --> 00:42:06,180 started seeing a lot more volume of 900 00:42:06,180 --> 00:42:08,520 traffic you start to see it a lot more 901 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,140 investment into the area you start to 902 00:42:10,140 --> 00:42:13,500 see tax-based expansion when you saw the 903 00:42:13,500 --> 00:42:15,300 city of South Bend take their Corridor 904 00:42:15,300 --> 00:42:18,180 streets and decrease the width of them 905 00:42:18,180 --> 00:42:20,520 you started seeing businesses move out 906 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,940 it has nothing to do with race it has 907 00:42:23,940 --> 00:42:25,500 everything to do with with the 908 00:42:25,500 --> 00:42:28,140 atmosphere the economic outliers say to 909 00:42:28,140 --> 00:42:30,599 you so no it's not a racial conversation 910 00:42:30,599 --> 00:42:33,240 sir it's a fact conversation so at what 911 00:42:33,240 --> 00:42:36,359 point do we not ask our community to 912 00:42:36,359 --> 00:42:38,099 tell us what they want in the 913 00:42:38,099 --> 00:42:39,240 neighborhood and there's certain things 914 00:42:39,240 --> 00:42:40,560 that they I think we need to be more 915 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,140 realistic so when we go about our 916 00:42:43,140 --> 00:42:45,599 Council business okay when we go about 917 00:42:45,599 --> 00:42:47,880 our Council business it is up to the 918 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:51,359

--> 00:42:58,800 expansion of Tif districts and how money 922 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:00,900 is actually being invested in those 923 00:43:00,900 --> 00:43:02,940 areas as it relates to infrastructure

1080 00:50:46,740 --> 00:50:49,920 southern two lots has acquired the the 1081 00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:53,040 northernmost quite some time ago and is 1082 00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,800 looking to do an expansion of what they 1083 00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,079 have and replicating the type of use 1084 00:50:58,079 --> 00:51:00,720 that they have the offices this is 1085 00:51:00,720 --> 00:51:01,680 slightly different than what you 1086 00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:03,660 normally see from us generally when we 1087 00:51:03,660 --> 00:51:05,339 have a commercial expansion we're really 1088 00:51:05,339 --> 00:51:07,079 concerned about how it might impact our 1089 00:51:07,079 --> 00:51:09,800 surrounding Neighbors in this case 1090 00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:13,380 as we showed earlier today there is a 1091 00:51:13,380 --> 00:51:15,540 city retention area just north of the 1092 00:51:15,540 --> 00:51:18,000 site and then the city public golf 1093 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,780 course to the east which really prevent 1094 00:51:20,780 --> 00:51:23,339 this commercial from expanding much 1095 00:51:23,339 --> 00:51:26,339 Beyond its current footprint 1096 00:51:26,339 --> 00:51:29,160 uh you can see here that it's in a 1097 00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,440 commercially a Suburban kind of 1098 00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,440 commercial area the property on the west 1099 00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,660 extends commercial to about the same 1100 00:51:36,660 --> 00:51:38,460 location and then you have some 1101 00:51:38,460 --> 00:51:40,740 commercial properties across the street 1102 00:51:40,740 --> 00:51:43,619 uh the existing building is kind of more 1103 00:51:43,619 --> 00:51:45,960 residential in character which is part 1104 00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,420 of the written commitment request is for 1105 00:51:48,420 --> 00:51:50,280 a hipped or gabled roof to kind of 1106 00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:51,900 replicate this building and make sure we 1107 00:51:51,900 --> 00:51:53,880 get something appropriate as a 1108 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:55,800 transition to the neighborhood 1109 00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,619 the existing property occupies the area 1110 00:51:58,619 --> 00:52:01,859 here in the Red outlet outline and the 1111 00:52:01,859 --> 00:52:03,780 expansion would be kind of a duplication 1112 00:52:03,780 --> 00:52:06,599 of that to the north the sea commercial 1113 00:52:06,599 --> 00:52:08,460 will allow them to do that in the 1114 00:52:08,460 --> 00:52:10,140 configuration that's consistent with 1115 00:52:10,140 --> 00:52:13,260 what

00:59:59,940 --> 01:00:02,640 to South Bend and found the real estate 1305 01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:04,500 that was previously mentioned by the 1306 01:00:04,500 --> 01:00:06,319 zoning administrator 1307 01:00:06,319 --> 01:00:09,660 the application before you today is made 1308 01:00:09,660 --> 01:00:13,380 out of an abundance of caution 70 of 1309 01:00:13,380 --> 01:00:16,440 Coast Southwest work is packaged Goods 1310 01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:19,220 they do not process on-site they simply 1311 01:00:19,220 --> 01:00:22,260 buy the packages and then resell as a 1312 01:00:22,260 --> 01:00:24,599 distributor would however in partnership 1313 01:00:24,599 --> 01:00:26,640 with the University of Notre Dame they 1314 01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:28,380 are looking at potentially 1315 01:00:28,380 --> 01:00:30,240 commercializing some new types of 1316 01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:34,200 processes that could trigger that the 1317 01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:37,619 ingredients that Coast Southwest handles 1318 01:00:37,619 --> 01:00:38,520 um 1319 01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:41,520 could be considered hazardous in some of 1320 01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:43,619 their forms throughout the process so it 1321 01:00:43,619 --> 01:00:45,960 is important that they are up front and 1322 01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:48,720 ask for this designation sooner rather 1323 01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:51,240 than later partly because of their 1324 01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:53,700 corporate philosophy they're a extremely 1325 01:00:53,700 --> 01:00:55,140 they take pride in their corporate 1326 01:00:55,140

like 1332 01:01:06,839 --> 01:01:08,640 California they are very comfortable 1333 01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:10,980 dealing with federal state and local 1334 01:01:10,980 --> 01:01:14,099 regulations and the building is being 1335 01:01:14,099 --> 01:01:16,140 designed and potentially built by 1336 01:01:16,140 --> 01:01:19,380 holiday properties so an experienced 1337 01:01:19,380 --> 01:01:22,319

01:01:52,980 --> 01:01:54,540 screen there is 1353 01:01:54,540 --> 01:01:57,059 um the plan is for 94 000 square feet of 1354 01:01:57,059 --> 01:01:59,099 the potential 200 000 square feet to be 1355 01:01:59,099 --> 01:02:02,760 built immediately uh there is a small 1356 01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:04,200 um uh 1357 01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:06,839 square with an arrow pointing to it that 1358 01:02:06,839 --> 01:02:08,359 is the potential 1359 01:02:08,359 --> 01:02:11,040 containment center for anything that 1360 01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:13,799 might be categorized as hazardous 1361 01:02:13,799 --> 01:02:16,559 thank you anyone else 1362 01:02:16,559 --> 01:02:20,099 Mr wax with this project uh go forward 1363 01:02:20,099 --> 01:02:22,980 without this uh exception 1364 01:02:22,980 --> 01:02:26,099 that's a great question that's uh when I 1365 01:02:26,099 --> 01:02:27,780 was first approached by my client the 1366 01:02:27,780 --> 01:02:29,160 question was whether or not they even 1367 01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:31,799 needed this the heavy industrial 1368 01:02:31,799 --> 01:02:35,040 exception given what they're doing they 1369 01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:36,480 feel very 1370 01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:37,319 um 1371 01:02:37,319 --> 01:02:39,480 confident that what they are doing does 1372 01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:41,760 not as I told the committee earlier this 1373 01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:43,799 isn't green goop you know bubbling out 1374 01:02:43,799 --> 01:02:46,020 of a vat but 1375 01:02:46,020 --> 01:02:47,819 um you know environmental laws are just 1376 01:02:47,819 --> 01:02:50,280 getting more and more restrictive and so 1377 01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:53,880 they do feel it's important that they 1378 01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:56,460 check the the boxes that the city has 1379 01:02:56,460 --> 01:02:59,040 set forth in its ordinance its ordinance 1380 01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:01,280 for having Industrials very specific 1381 01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:04,140 if you are handling hazardous material 1382 01:03:04,140 --> 01:03:07,740 that qualifies you as as uh heavy 1383 01:03:07,740 --> 01:03:10,559 industrial so they feel it's important 1384 01:03:10,559 --> 01:03:14,099 what what kind of economic impact 1385 01:03:14,099 --> 01:03:17,339 would this project bring their employees 1386 01:03:17,339 --> 01:03:20,339 what kind of salaries what other 1387 01:03:20,339 --> 01:03:23,160 economic drivers with this brand so um 1388 01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:26,819 in addition to the aforementioned 1389 01:03:26,819 --> 01:03:29,579 um employees I'm sorry the building of 1390 01:03:29,579 --> 01:03:31,799 the space you know the plan is for 94 1391 01:03:31,799 --> 01:03:33,380 000 square foot immediate construction 1392 01:03:33,380 --> 01:03:36,720 uh that will be staffed by eight to ten 1393 01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:39,780 new hires here in this community uh if 1394 01:03:39,780 --> 01:03:43,079 the project is successful and 1395 01:03:43,079 --> 01:03:45,000 um grows and and that's probably a 1396 01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:47,460 misstatement if the project grows the 1397 01:03:47,460 --> 01:03:49,500 the use is already there they already 1398 01:03:49,500 --> 01:03:51,119 have sales offices throughout the 1399 01:03:51,119 --> 01:03:52,380 Midwest that they're going to 1400 01:03:52,380 --> 01:03:54,960 consolidate here in the South Bend

lease and move over so the 1404 01:04:02,099 --> 01:04:04,500 94 000 square feet is just part of their 1405 01:04:04,500 --> 01:04:07,799 there are already existing operations 1406 01:04:07,799 --> 01:04:10,079 but if they grow to that 200 000 square 1407 01:04:10,079 --> 01:04:11,880 feet that they anticipate growing to 1408 01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:14,520 that would be a total of 50 50 to 60 new 1409 01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:15,680 jobs 1410 01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:18,660 and would also continue to grow as far 1411 01:04:18,660 --> 01:04:20,520 as their their partnership with the 1412 01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:21,720 University 1413 01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:25,140 I also see that they are they're very 1414 01:04:25,140 --> 01:04:29,220 responsible company run by a father and 1415

01:16:18,420 was just really difficult and funky but 1699 01:16:18,420 --> 01:16:20,040 as a part of the learning process as it 1700 01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:22,140 relates to this job 1701 01:16:22,140 --> 01:16:25,080 as we move forward time has gone going 1702 01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:27,350 on 1703 01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:30,739 um as a result of that advocacy after 1704 01:16:30,739 -->

with not with private investment but 1710 01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:47,159 it's public investment but I take it 1711 01:16:47,159 --> 01:16:49,380 did a very good job I'm patting myself 1712 01:16:49,380 --> 01:16:51,199 on the back on a number of these things 1713 01:16:51,199 --> 01:16:53,580 one thing and I don't want to belar the 1714 01:16:53,580 --> 01:16:55,320 point so I'm going to go to it really 1715 01:16:55,320 --> 01:16:58,320 quick LaSalle Center receives a four and 1716 01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:00,320 a half million dollar investment 1717 01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:03,480 deserved it right the building was 1718 01:17:03,480 --> 01:17:06,420 remodeled refurbished everyone's happy 1719 01:17:06,420 --> 01:17:08,640 in the community because we finally got 1720 01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:10,860 what we're looking for 1721 01:17:10,860 --> 01:17:13,020 um to get some more things passed as a 1722 01:17:13,020 --> 01:17:14,580 matter of fact councilmember white 1723 01:17:14,580

Western 1726 01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:23,340 Avenue Corridor during that time that 1727 01:17:23,340 --> 01:17:25,380 money has been used to not only change 1728 01:17:25,380 --> 01:17:28,260 the way Western Avenue Rush Nevada would 1729 01:17:28,260 --> 01:17:30,719 be Hayes but also looks then you really 1730 01:17:30,719 --> 01:17:33,239 get you got the idea of what facade 1731 01:17:33,239 --> 01:17:35,100 Brands can do in a particular area 1732 01:17:35,100 --> 01:17:37,679 because now that those few blocks they 1733 01:17:37,679 --> 01:17:39,719 look really good that's how we got 1734 01:17:39,719 --> 01:17:41,219 investment in that area that's how we 1735 01:17:41,219 --> 01:17:42,780 got people to really believe in that 1736 01:17:42,780 --> 01:17:44,040 area again 1737 01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:49,020 and then as I fast forward to 2023 1738 01:17:49,020 --> 01:17:51,840 we're looking forward to the expansion 1739 01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:55,800 excuse me the demolition 1740 01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:58,320 and the groundbreaking 1741 01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:00,840 and now the rebuilding of a Martin 1742 01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:03,060 Luther King Jr recreational sandwiches 1743 01:18:03,060 --> 01:18:04,140 Journey Center 1744 01:18:04,140 --> 01:18:06,179 we don't get that without all of the 1745 01:18:06,179 --> 01:18:09,060 years of Labor that I put in for the 1746 01:18:09,060 --> 01:18:11,699 second district we've been able to look 1747 01:18:11,699 --> 01:18:13,679 and realize a new neighborhood plan for 1748 01:18:13,679 --> 01:18:14,820 that area 1749 01:18:14,820 --> 01:18:17,640 right we we we're looking at residents 1750 01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:19,500 who are engaged at a higher level 1751 01:18:19,500 --> 01:18:22,020 because of the work and the labor that 1752 01:18:22,020 --> 01:18:24,659 has been put in to making sure that the 1753 01:18:24,659 --> 01:18:26,580 residents in that direct area receive 1754 01:18:26,580 --> 01:18:29,760 the support that they uh deserve and 1755 01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:32,760 this vessel that's talking was a very 1756 01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:34,739 important piece to that 1757 01:18:34,739 --> 01:18:37,080 now as we are moving towards the 1758 01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:40,250 official groundbreaking 1759 01:18:40,260 --> 01:18:43,219 we're looking at an opportunity where 1760 01:18:43,219 --> 01:18:46,320 the council member for that area 1761 01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:49,800 that has labored labored and labor for 1762 01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:51,179 that particular area 1763 01:18:51,179

--> 01:19:03,780 and I call that to be one of the most 1767 01:19:03,780 --> 01:19:06,420 disrespectful moves by the current 1768 01:19:06,420 --> 01:19:08,760 Administration on whoever participated 1769 01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:11,340 with him on designing 1770 01:19:11,340 --> 01:19:14,219 an agenda that does not include the 1771 01:19:14,219 --> 01:19:18,770 representative for that area 1772 01:19:18,780 --> 01:19:23,640 how do you disregard the work 1773 01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:26,159 that a person has put in to a particular 1774 01:19:26,159 --> 01:19:27,960 area 1775 01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:29,760 I don't know 1776 01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:33,000 but to whoever is listening upstairs 1777 01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:35,640 outside over the Airways or even sitting 1778 01:19:35,640 --> 01:19:37,380 here with the council 1779 01:19:37,380 --> 01:19:39,480 you may want to revisit 1780 01:19:39,480 --> 01:19:40,980 that thought 1781 01:19:40,980 --> 01:19:43,560 and you may also want to figure out how 1782 01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:45,900 to make sure that the people of that 1783 01:19:45,900 --> 01:19:48,840 community in particular get what they 1784 01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:52,140 deserve and that's me because I put the 1785 01:19:52,140 --> 01:19:54,480 work in to ensure to make sure that that 1786 01:19:54,480 --> 01:19:57,960 area was taken care of nobody else 1787 01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:01,080 Against All Odds it got done 1788 01:20:01,080 --> 01:20:03,480 I think Mr Aaron Perry for his foresight 1789 01:20:03,480 --> 01:20:05,699 and ensuring that the center could be 1790 01:20:05,699 --> 01:20:07,860 built all of the things that have taken 1791 01:20:07,860 --> 01:20:11,460 place like I said since 2005. 1792 01:20:11,460 --> 01:20:15,239 that's my work 18 years and I deserve to 1793 01:20:15,239 --> 01:20:17,040 be at the microphone when it's time for 1794 01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:22,250 it to be ground broken thank you 1795 01:20:22,260 -->
