MONROE PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION <br />SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 <br /> <br /> <br />Dear Adam Toering, Monday, May 3, 2021 <br />Historic Preservation Commission <br />227 W Jefferson Blvd. #1400S <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br /> <br /> <br />We, the undersigned, as officers and board members of the Monroe Park Neighborhood Association, are <br />submitting this letter on behalf of our neighbors and friends, the Peter Claver Catholic Worker <br />community. They asked us to craft this letter of support for them and the improvements they intend to <br />make on their property at 518 S. St. Joseph St. This is a home for the women who all are part of the St. <br />Peter Claver Catholic Worker community. The women want to construct a pavilion over their backyard <br />patio. This property lies within the parameters of the Taylor’s Field historic district and they might need <br />our support in constructing this pavilion. <br /> <br />It is a necessary addition because of the heat/sun, rain, and snow. This space is utilized often by the <br />women and the community. Adding this pavilion increases the opportunity to more comfortably utilize <br />this space even more. And, given the credibility of the Catholic Workers and their appreciation for all <br />things beautiful, it is more than a guarantee that the pavilion construction will be done with the greatest <br />amount of care and thought respecting both the historicity of this home and neighborhood and the <br />architectural appropriateness for such a space. The pavilion will be simultaneously <br />functional/comfortable and historically/architecturally appropriate and beautiful. It will also be durable <br />so the women, community members, and neighbors will be able to enjoy this pavilion for decades to <br />come. For the more civically concerned, this pavilion may also add to the taxable value to this home. <br /> <br />Please allow the Catholic Workers and the women of this home the opportunity to build their pavilion. It <br />will benefit us all in Monroe Park and the city of South Bend. <br /> <br /> <br />Mike Coman, President Stacey Odom, Vice President <br />Monroe Park Neighborhood Association Monroe Park Neighborhood Association <br /> <br />Rick Tribble, Treasurer Gil Michel, Board Member <br />Monroe Park Neighborhood Association Monroe Park Neighborhood Association <br /> <br />Frank Ermeti, Board Member Bill Erdman, Board Member <br />Monroe Park Neighborhood Association Monroe Park Neighborhood Association <br /> <br />Eduardo Forero, Board Member Jason Isch, Board Member <br />Monroe Park Neighborhood Association Monroe Park Neighborhood Association <br /> <br />
