24 The South Bend Tribune, Monday, January 28, 1980 7,, I I- j' Planners prepare for Grape development Service roads proposed clipping off 40-feet of their frontage for these service roads. What we (the commission) have to do now is simply tell them, Look, you want the commercial zoning, well the service road is part of the bargain. No service road, no zoning. Minkler said his department also is faced with a timing problem. Apparently two of the eight involved property owners are ready to sell, while the others wish to wait for higher prices demanded of commercial-zoned land.

The problem is wed like to build these service roads ahead of any more commercial development. Were also stuck with the possibility that these properties will not be sold in series. Id other words, the city could purchase frontage on three separate properties, but then might have to wait years before obtaining rights to the lands in between. Minkler said even preliminary work on one service road could not begin without the availability of at least three adjacent properties. Any significant delay would increase the final cost of the project because of climbing inflation, he added.

As a potential solution of these problems, the com-missoners said they will discuss the idea of approving future commercial zonings along Grape according to a domino theory. Using this approach, the commissioners said they could reject any rezoning petition for land not sharing one boundary with an already commercial-zoned property. In connection, Minkler said, the service road construction could be done in phases, timed to the acquisition of multiple tracts. In regards to the likely outcry of pressure tactics from the Grape Road land owners, Minkler said it is vitally important that such arguments be placed in -the proper perspective. The plain fact is, Minkler said, the citys got a whole lot of money invested in that area, and frankly, we dont think were asking that much.

Besides, its the property owners that really want the commercial zoning, not us. The ultimate decision is up to them. Were just trying to explain the ground rules. Tribune Staff Writer The future of commercial development along Grape Road, north of Douglas, could be greatly influenced by several proposals from the City Planning Department. According to City Planner Charles Minkler, the outcome of these proposals will hinge on the ability of current property owners with frontage on Grape to reach a common decision regarding future use of their land.

Minkler has outlined for the City Plan Commission a project that will either help or halt further commercial development alpng Grape. The project calls for the construction of service roads, each more than 1,000 feet long, on both the east and west sides of the thoroughfare. I think we have to realize, Minkler said, that its going to be practically impossible to bring a full stop to commercial strip-zoning along this road. Even if the present commission doesnt approve any more commercial zonings, its probable thatsomeone else down the line will So if more commercial development is a foregone conclusion, I dont see any reason why we cant take certain measures now to ensure that such development is done properly. f.

Minkler said the main impetus behindthe planning staffs service road concept is to avoid the almost inevitable traffic congestion on Grape, when future business concerns do move in. The existence of service roads could add to the ease and, safety of the construction process by making building sites more readily accessible and keep heavy machinery away from Grape traffic, he said. Commission response to the service road plan has been positive, although Minkler said physical applica-. tion of the proposal probably will encounter some resistance. Right now, Minkler said, we have a bunch of property owners who really do want commercial zoning for their land.

But I dont think theyre particularly going to like the idea of the, city coming in and SCHOOLBIRD During a recent break at Moran School, students used the new-fallen snow to create their school name and Sesame Streets Cookie Mons- ter and Big Bird.

Upon investigating, they found Mrs. Zoss trapped inside. They ran to the-project maintenance building for help, and found Jeff Sater, apartment superintendent and another employee, Kent Clark. Joining hands to keep from slipping beneath the water, Clark and Sater were, able to free Mrs. Zoss.

She was taken to Memorial Hospital, South Bend, for observation, and now is home. Caroline and Brooks hurried home to tell ther parents what happened, unaware that no one at the scene knew their names. According to Carolines mother, the children were anxious to find out Mrs. Zoss condition. They wondered if she was alive, and were relieved when the story came out (in Fridays Tribune) and we learned she was okay.

VonSte-tinas unlocked garage early Saturday morning. VonStetina, of 3807 Terry, told police he had been working with the tools until about 3 a.m.

Saturday. At 8:30 a. he went back to the garage and the tools were gone, he said. Thieves pried the front door to Clarence W. Ebys mobile home in Lakeshoe Estates between midnight and 2 a.m.

This is the holding corporation that financed construction of the John J. Young Junior High SchooL The meeting is a routine one to satisfy legal requirements. Shareholders include the First National Bank of Mishawaka, Mishawaka Federal Savings and Loan Association, Peoples First Federal Savings and Loan Association of SL Jo- seph-eunty and Trust Co. They also were intrigued by the part they played in the rescue, Mrs. Colley added.

What impressed me is that they kept asking each other, what if we hadnt been there, what would have happened to her? It was fate, in a way, because Caroline was home from school with a cold that day, and Brooks wouldnt have been outside without her. They understand that what happened was important. Brooks finally ended up saying, God sent us there. Caroline and Brooks were not upset to learn that no one knew them. They were only excited that what they had done made a difference in anothers life.

But we talked about it and we told them, you know, people would like to know who you are. Now people do, and the city administration is preparing to honor the youngsters along with Clark and Sater, who disregarded their safety to pull Mrs. Zoss out of her car. Mayor Robert L. Kovach is in the process of determining what type of honor is appropriate.
