Dear Angela Jacob and The Board of Public Works, 0jC'I i 4ti`'' � <br />I would like to draw your attention to a few pieces of va nt property that the city owns <br />on both E.Howard and Corby.The lots at question re 12 1/2 E.Corby, and the two lots <br />north of that on E.Howard.The key numbers are I�5092 66, 18509L3265, <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 xne 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 />Paul Ku aric <br />1 <br />i <br />
