Filed in Clerk's Office AUG 2 ?OZ? DAWN M.JONES From: Rachel Bovle$ CITY CLERK. SOUTH BEND, IN To: Kate Bolze Subject: FW:Rezoning hearing for 4427 Brookton Dr&1335 Ireland Rd,South Bend,IN 46614 Date: Monday,August 15,2022 10:54:06 AM From: Kimberly Swaim <kimberly.swaim@att.net> Sent: Friday,August 12, 2022 5:09 PM To: Rachel Boyles<rboyles@southbendin.gov> Subject: Rezoning hearing for 4427 Brookton Dr& 1335 Ireland Rd, South Bend, IN 46614 The rezoning of 4427 Brookton Dr.South Bend,TN 46614& 1335 Ireland Rd.,South Bend,IN 46614 from SI Suburban Neighborhood 1 to C Commerical is not what our neighborhood needs or wants. This rezoning will cause more traffic through our neighborhood. There will be numerous deliveries on a regular basis to the Automobile Repair Shop,and with the ongoing catalytic converter thefts that go on,this will bring more crime to a residential neighborhood. Our neighborhood has many residents that walk,walk their dogs,and walk with strollers and their children. The Auto Repair Shop with bring in more traffic with vehicles coming in to be repaired,drop off and pickup of vehicles, and all the deliveries that will be needed. Some on a daily basis for parts needed to do the repairs could possibly cause a higher risk for accidents. There are many locations that are better suited for an Auto Repair Shop. Having to live next to the shop,or across the street to the shop will cause neighbors to lose their own parking. These two lots will not allow for much space for a shop,parking for the shop,and extra parking for people coming to pick up people dropping off and picking up their vehicles. Many little Auto Repair Shops have such an overflow of vehicles that they can't get to,those vehicles are just parked wherever they can find space on their lots. This would cause people to park in front of residential houses to wait to pick up people or drop them off to pick up vehicles. The noise and traffic will cause a disruption to local residents. We buy our houses in neighborhoods we want to live in. If this rezoning is approved,the residents by this Auto Repair Shop will have to deal with the noise and increased traffic that this shop will bring to the neighborhood. There is enough traffic on Ireland Rd.without bringing it into the residential neighborhood. A residential neighborhood is no place for a commercial business.
