Michael L. Lipsky <br />Attorney at Law <br />August 11, 2009 <br />Area Board of Zoning Appeals <br />125 S. Lafayette Boulevard <br />Suite 100 <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Re: Taste of Mexico Petition for: <br />Special Use for off site parking <br />Variance to reduce parking spaces <br />Variance to reduce minimum width of maneuvering aisle <br />Dear Members: <br />I represent Taste of Mexico. Please allow this letter and the accompanying documents to serve as my <br />client's petition for a special use for off site parking; variance to reduce parking spaces; and variance to <br />reduce minimum width of maneuvering aisle. <br />Taste of Mexico is located at 2637 West Western Avenue, South Bend, Indiana 46619 and owned by <br />Manuel and Laura Villegas. They can be reached at 48351 Fox Fire Drive, South Bend, Indiana <br />46628, telephone number 773-398-5529. <br />The location of the property in their petition is the Taste of Mexico, located at 2637 West Western <br />Avenue, S. Bend, Indiana. The petition for Special Use and Variance concerns two vacant lots directly <br />across the street from Taste of Mexico. That property is commonly described as: Two vacant lots <br />numbered 826 and 827, 40 feet East of Kaley Street, directly East and adjacent to Rosie's Kazbar <br />(2644 W. Western Av.) on the South Side of Western Avenue, South Bend, Indiana. <br />The Taste of Mexico and proposed parking lot aze located in a mixed-use district Township of Portage. <br />My client is asking that you allow them to use off site parking, reduce the number of parking spaces <br />and reduce the minimum width of maneuvering space in a parking lot. The reasons my clients are <br />asking for the special use and variances are because my clients business has recently expanded and <br />now require, per City of South Bend Code, additional parking spaces. A less than favorable <br />recommendation by you may force my client to close the doors of his successful family business <br />operated in South Bend. <br />257 W Indiana Av, Suite B, Valparaiso, IN 46383 (219) 464-3617, Fax: 548-0257 <br />e-mail: collectionsystemsinc@verizon.net 1-888-548-3011 <br />
