_•1 <br />Mark Lyons -propisosed rezoning ~ .~ <br />From: Joan Aldrich <br />To: , , <br />Date: 3/18/2008 9:56 AM <br />Subject: propisosed rezoning <br />CC: <br />Dear Sirs and Madam <br />It has come to my attention that there is a proposal afoot to rezone Cleveland Road in the vicinity of <br />Shellbark and Lynnewood. I have serious concerns regarding such a rezoning inasmuchas it is very near <br />my home at 52921 Lilac Road; in fact, it may abut my backyard. <br />I understand that the general area around Cleveland Road and Portage Avenue is rapidly becoming <br />commercial. However, it is clear that the small area of private homes that is bounded by Lilac Road, <br />Mays Drive, Lynnewood Ave, and Cleveland Road will probably never be annexed into the city of <br />South Bend, and thus we will never receive the benefits of being part of the city. Thus it is important to <br />us home-owners to protect and preserve the intended use of our private lands. <br />I could live with rezoning to an office-buffer use since that would preserve my privacy as much as <br />possible. However, the possibility of businesses that might be open late, have food-waste that attracts <br />pests, and pollution by lights and noise is completely unacceptable. Besides being an impingement on <br />my use of my property, I fear that such rezoning would imperil my property value and might even <br />imperil my personal safety. <br />Thus, I sincerely implore you to reject any rezoning of the Cleveland Road area that would allow any <br />businesses beyond the scope ofoffice-buffer use. <br />Further, I request notification of any open meetings or other methods of remonstrance that are available <br />to me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Joan Aldrich <br />52921 Lilac Road <br />South Bend IN 46628 <br />574-271-4867 <br />i e aldrich~a sbcglobal.net <br /> <br />MAR 1 8 2008 <br />AREA PLAPI GG'oJih99~ si~~i <br />file://C:\Documents and Settings\Mlyons\Local Settings\Temp\XPgrpwise\47DF91DSSJC... 3/18/2008 <br />
