Mr. L.Magliozzi Exec. Dir. St. Joseph County Area Plan Commission Suite 1140 County -City Bldg. RE: The Matthews Monster 21 Feb. 2017 Mr.Magliozzi: Given the longer time limit, I have added some additional comments to my previously submitted letter. I know it's a lot to ask, but I am hoping this sheet could be attached to the distributed material. Thank you. S.J.Szabo Addendum to the previously submitted letter to the Area Plan Commission And so, Commission Members, it comes down to this: If Mr.Matthews wants to build a high -rise, he should buy land across the river that is priced for its true development potential, to do so. Instead, his self - proclaimed "special" status and an arrogantly naked greed, leads him to once again, insist that he be treated differently than everyone else, so that he is free to grossly overdevelop his cheap land to make a bigger buck, regardless of any detrimental effects on the surrounding neighborhood. I won't speculate on the reasons the Common Council seems so eager to abandon its responsibilities to the community and pander to his greed, but it is clear they are not acting in the best interests of South Bend. Therefore, the community can only hope that this body has a better grasp on their dedication to do the right thing and stand fast against Special Interests and their cohorts, and to resist ANY change to the present zoning for the East Race.
