i ✓ <br />A <br />Dear Angela Jacob and The Board of Public Works, <br />I would like to draw your attention to a few pieces of va nt property ti3at the city owns <br />on both E.Howard and Corby.The lots at question re 1 • 1/2 E.Corby, and the two lots <br />north of tk at on E.Howard.The key numbers are 1 5092 66, 18509�3265, <br />1850923 68. I was born and raised in this neighbo hood and so was my father and his <br />family. My father passed away in February and I moved back to South Bend <br />in June to live with,and help my mother take care of her home. I have always loved this <br />area of town especially the gardens my father always planted, but since I've returned I have <br />had to spend as much time cleaning up the yard as any thing else. <br />These properties have been a menace for years. Within the last few years this property <br />has been used for dumping and as a result has become a haven for rodents, alcoholics, and <br />drug users. Since this has begun I find a lot more trash in my yard, not to mention the <br />rodent problem. I have found countless numbers of drug paraphernalia, including needles, <br />glass crack pipes, etc... <br />I would like to propose a deal, in which I would like the city to deed these properties to <br />me, I can offer the assessed value of them,and in return I would improve these lots by <br />keeping them clean and fencing them in. I feel that it would be easier for me to take care <br />of them as opposed to the city simply because I live right there. Thank you for considering <br />this proposal, I hope it will all work out. <br />Sincerely, <br />ta� <br />Paul KuF <br />ic <br />
