<br />located adjacent to the proposed movie theater. I feel this movie theater will be
<br />an asset to our area: improving the business environment and security for our
<br />area, by eliminating vacant property which encourages vandalism and pilfering.
<br />Therefore, I recommend the Council's approval by the movie theater. Yours truly,
<br />David L. Richard, President. Common Council, City of South Bend, Re: proposed
<br />multi- screen theater, Ireland Road, South Bend. Dear Members: My corporation owns
<br />Southland Plaza East which is located within a few hundred feet of the theater
<br />site. I feel that every effort should be made to ensure the development of the
<br />theater on Ireland Road adjacent to Southland Plaza because there is a
<br />disproportionate number of movie screens in the northern sectors of South Bend and
<br />Mishawaka compared to the southside of South Bend, also, the Ireland /Ironwood area
<br />is in need of family entertainment for the many people that are and will be living
<br />in the area.
<br />I have been general manager of McKinley Town & Country Shopping Center for 10
<br />years, which has a multi- screen theater. I can not remember ever having any
<br />trouble with the theater or its patrons. Sincerely, John Becker. Council Member
<br />Soderberg made a motion to recommend the substitution version as amended to the
