To Whom It May Concern: 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 %i Washington Street <br /> South Bend, M. 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 infonn 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 proposed 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 />
