r. John 'Voon7e <br />Febtuar7f <br />161, 'N" <br />Page 2 <br />building would be available to patrons. We do not believe that the requested reduction of <br />the project area, or reduction of the nuinber parking spaces available in the second phase <br />:Marking lot, firori- 93 to 51 ,;dill have an adverse impact upon the. pros?rt_ There will be <br />251 parking spaces in the initial construction phase south of Western Avenue, 12 more <br />spaces than we have estimated are necessary for the facility. if the property we are now <br />requesting be deleted from the rezoning petition area is later acquired by The Salvation <br />Army, it is in a Mixed Use zoning district. Parking for the Kroe Center could be added <br />without rezoning it. Including that area in the current rezoning petition is not necessary <br />for later use as additional parking. <br />Attached are copies of the required petition documents - revised for reduction. of the <br />rezoning area north. of Western Avenue. The Salvation Army has not yet completed <br />acquisition of the property. We will ask the three remaining owners of the property to <br />sign the revised rezoning petition application. Due to the meeting schedule of the South <br />Bend Park Board, we will not have signed, revised petitions for the Area flan <br />Commission hearing, but we expect to have them before the rezoning is decided by the <br />Common Council. <br />Included with the revised petition are signed copies of three agreements with owners of <br />other parking facilities in the vicinity of the Kroc Center indicating their willingness to <br />allow the Kroc Center to use their parking lots for a special event that might exceed the <br />parking available at the Center. Not all of those agreements were signed when the <br />original petition was submitted. <br />The Salvation Army requests that the City proceed with the rezoning process with a <br />slightly reduced area to be rezoned, and a revised site plan. A few other minor revisions <br />and clarifications have been made at the request of the Area flan Commission staff. If <br />you Have any questions regarding the petition, or this request, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />4Ge R.
