Lafayette Blvd. • Suite 100 South Bend, Indiana 46601 RE:806 Howard Street Variance Request for December 6, 2017 ABZA Agenda Dear Area Board of Zoning Appeals: The purpose of this letter is to inform you that several members of the Northeast Neighborhood Revitalization Organization (NNRO)are aware of and have briefly discussed the proposal to expand the building located at 806 Howard St. in the Northeast Neighborhood. However,the full board of the NNRO has not reviewed the request. Moreover,the NNRO does not meet until December 13 wherein the full board intends to address the proposal.Therefore, at this time the NNRO is not in support or opposition to the petitioner's request. Please know that the NNRO recognizes this is a critical matter for the neighborhood as the building has been a longstanding problem property. It is important to note that in partnership with the City of South Bend, Northeast Neighborhood residents and funding partners (South Bend Clinic,The University of Notre Dame, Beacon Health System,St.Joseph Regional Medical Center),the NNRO has directly facilitated roughly 30 million in housing production value in neighborhood since 2003.The NNRO has been very active in all aspects of development in the neighborhood and works to achieve the best possible outcomes. Please know that NNRO representatives will be in attendance at December 6 ABZA meeting regarding this matter.On behalf of the NNRO Board of Directors,we look forward to a decision regarding this request soon. If you have questions, please contact me directly.Thank you. Sincerely, � J Marco Mariani NNRO Authorized Representative CC: NNRO Building Dept. APC
