Ironwood Drive South Bend, In 46615 219-233-7516 /owner 1847 Prairie Ave 3) Name and address of contingent purchasers: R. R. & T. Partnership 1855 Prairie Ave. / property to be porch. 1847 Prairie South Bend, Indiana 46613 4) It is desired and requested that these properties be rezoned from "C" Commercial, "D" Height & Area to "D" Light Industrial, "D" Height & Area 5) This rezoning is requested to allow the following uses: Action Machine, Inc., an eighteen year old operation, consists of Industrial Maintenance Machining, Automotive Machining, Manufacturing of new Drive Shafts, Drive Shaft Repair, and the sale of Drive Line Parts. As of January 1992 Action Machine acquired a distributorship with the three major Drive Line manufacturers: Dana/Spicer, Rockwell International, and Neapco, resulting in a sharp increase of sales involving the manufacture and repair of Drive Shafts and sale of Drive Line Parts. It has become increasingly apparent that we have outgrown the space at our present sight and must purchase additional space. The adjoining property is ideal for the expansion necessary. This purchase is totally dependent on rezoning because as it stands now we would not be able to hire any new employees, and without additional help, expansion is pointless. Action Machine has a reputation for being a good neighbor and for keeping its property in good repair. If we acquire this additional property, our standards would be the same and it would be a benefit to the area by increasing the value of the property surrounding it.
