<br />BILL NO. 61 -85 A BILL AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 727
<br />CORBY BLVD., IN THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA.
<br />This being the time heretofore set for public hearing on the above bill, proponents
<br />and opponents were given an opportunity to be heard. Larry Magliozzi, from Area
<br />Plan, gave the staff report on this rezoning, which was unfavorable. Council Member
<br />Zakrzewski made a motion to continue this bill until August 19, due to the
<br />petitioner not being present, seconded by Council Member Taylor. The motion
<br />carried. Because of the fact their were remonstrators in the audience public
<br />hearing was held on the bill. Marguerite Taylor, 714 E. Corby, read the following
<br />letter:
<br />This letter is in protest to the proposed ordinance and site development plan of
<br />Thomas M. Barcome to zone from "A" Residential, "A" Height and Area to "B"
<br />Residential, "A" Height and Area, property located at 727 Corby Blvd., City of South
<br />Bend.
<br />As you are aware, the triangle is heavily populated with student housing, rental
<br />property and bars. As a property owner in this area, I feel any additional building
<br />of this nature would have no benefits to the neighborhood as a whole. Any structure
<br />built for multi - living quarters would not be conducive with the stability of our
<br />single family -owner occupied neighborhood.
<br />Furthermore, rezoning of this area would undoubtedly encourage future building of
<br />such structures. We, the residents of this area want to retain the historical and
<br />close -knit unity our neighborhood has always possessed.
<br />Thank you for your support. We are certain you will do all you can to help abort
<br />this seemingly "individual quest for progress" on behalf of the betterment and
<br />growth of our city's fine neighborhoods.
