Carolyn Henry <br /> From: Joseph Powers <powers @nd.edu> <br /> Sent: Sunday, December 03, 2017 12:28 PM <br /> To: Carolyn Henry <br /> Cc: jhaigh @lck-law.com;tmustillo @gmail.com;Jo Broden <br /> Subject: former Pandora's <br /> Dear Ms. Henry, <br /> I was given your name and email address by James Haigh. I write with regard to something to which he alerted me: a <br /> proposed re-purposing of the old Pandora's bookstore building. I live nearby at 1026 N.St. Peter Street, having recently <br /> built a new house and moved here in May 2016. <br /> My understanding is the proposal is to significantly expand the Pandora's site to include new residential units in a new <br /> floor. I oppose this. It is out of character with the neighborhood, and expands upon a bad decision made in the 1990s. <br /> I placed a significant investment in a new home in a neighborhood with the expectation that it would remain a <br /> neighborhood of single-family dwellings. Part of the advantage of living in a city is that there are rules and expectations <br /> that allow people to make informed decisions. I followed the rules when I built,and I expect my neighbors to do so as <br /> well. The investors in the former Pandora's building knew the rules when they invested in it. <br /> Please do not grant the variance. <br /> Joseph M. Powers <br /> 1206 N.St. Peter Street <br /> South Bend, Indiana 46617 <br /> 1 <br />
