IRELAND ROAD <br /> �' BROADMOOR SHOPPING CENTER <br /> JEWELERS SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46614 <br /> TEL 574 291-5700 <br /> FAX 574 291-7079 <br /> DATE:August 15,2022 <br /> TO: Angela Smith-Zoning Administrator <br /> South Bend City Plan Commission <br /> FROM: David Szlanfucht <br /> Fox Real Estate, LLP <br /> The Szlanfucht Family has lived in this area for over 100 years.J.R. Fox Jewelers was started by <br /> the family and has been a popular and recognizable business in South Bend and Mishawaka for over 62 <br /> years.The business today is owned and operated by the Szlanfucht Family. <br /> We have owned this lot for approximately 30 years.We have tried to sell the lot along with the <br /> rental property for 15 years.We literally have had little or no interest in any residential development. <br /> We feel that this is a natural break from the residential neighborhood,a neighborhood where we have <br /> our business located down the street.We have always been a good neighbor supporting the south side <br /> of South Bend and will continue to do so. <br /> The property for rezoning has two lots.One is vacant,the other is a rental property.We strongly <br /> feel,especially by the lack of interest for residential development,that both lots must be sold together. <br /> We are not interested in owning a long term rental property.When the time comes for the rental <br /> property to need any major repairs,taking into consideration taxes on a rental property,we will most <br /> likely demolish the house. <br /> We took a very serious look at the buyer and buyer's proposal before we agreed to proceed <br /> with this.We believe this will be a very good asset for the neighbors and the area in general. <br /> Your consideration and support will be greatly appreciated. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> (.."1 : 2-1.
