To Whom It May Concern: <br />05/03/2011 <br />Seeking a Special Exception to allow a duplex in a "SF2" District and from the following <br />variances: From the required 60' Frontage to 55.44 and from the required 60' lot width to <br />55.44 from the required 25' front yard setback to 13.4 from the required 6' side yard ' <br />setbacks to 4.4' on the west line to 8' on the east line. <br />Rachel L. Givens <br />2426 Kenwood Ave <br />South Bend, IN. 46628 <br />574 -289 -6174 <br />Property Address: 1117 -1119 % Washington Street <br />South Bend, IN. 46628 <br />Portage Township <br />1. The Proposed use will not in any way be injurious to the public because we keep <br />our properties clean and drug free. We tell as well as enforce, to all our renters, <br />that if there is any suspected drug or criminal activity that we will inform and give <br />the police permission to search the premises. That alone builds strong morals and <br />a good police neighbor relationship. This in turn makes the community safer. <br />2. Said Property has been present for years with minimal to no up keep. We will <br />Perform all repairs and get it occupied. Said property is a duplex, therefore it will <br />not affect the adjacent areas or the apartment complex within the next block; as a <br />result the property value will increase. Also, we volunteer to have the triplex torn <br />down. With this being done we lose financially but, gain a more improved area. <br />3. The proposdd use will be consistent with the character of the district. Just like the <br />Heritage Foundation, we want to bring good quality living, at a reasonable price, <br />to lower income families. Unlike other landlords we have a lot invested in this <br />area, because we live in this community as well. <br />
