The Honorable. Redevelopment Commission <br />February 16, 2010 <br />Page Two <br />We propose this use will be more compatible to the surrounding neighbors <br />consisting of Bosch to the south, single-family residential homes to the west, and <br />the Kennedy water playground and park to the north and east. The shelter will <br />include outdoor courtyards surrounded by the building. No animals or runs will be <br />visible to the public. <br />Our department in partnership with C.A.R.E. Community Animal Rescue Effort of <br />the City of South Bend has worked with Tom Farny, architect from Grinsfelder <br />Associates Architects of Fort Wayne, Indiana to design an approximate 9500 <br />square feet shelter which will consist of a complete remodeling of the existing <br />building, adding a pitched roof and additions to the structure for the kennels. <br />While this architect firm is located in Fort Wayne, this firm was employed due to <br />their previous experience designing and building 7 animal shelters in the state of <br />Indiana. These shelters include Fort Wayne, Hendricks County and Bluffton. <br />We have attached elevation drawings, site plan and a photo of the current <br />location for your review. We have also attached the responsibilities that South <br />Bend Animal Care and Control have to the community. We look forward to our <br />partnership with the Redevelopment Commission in developing this location. <br />Sincerely, <br />,~ " <_ <br />atherine Toppel, C.C.O. <br />Director <br />
