COMMUNICATION City Council of South Bend City Hall South Bend, Indiana Gentlemen: We are writing to your august body to petition against the rezoning the property owned by the Lock Joint Tube Co. Our Company has made a number of FHA insured mortgage loans on properties on Kinyon Street, with the representation to FHA, the life insurance companies and to the home owners that these properties are protected by zoning ordinances on surrounding properties that were then zoned as A Residential. " We believe that it would be unfair now to change the zoning, after these houses have been built and purchased by home owners, believing- that their property was secure against outside detrimental influnces. If the property owned by the Lock Joint Tube Co. was.zoned light industrial at the time these houses were built, the owners, FHA and the mortgagees would have been aware of those influnces and would have taken that into consideration in the valuation of the - :property. We kindly ask yo*d to consider these facts in your deliberations. Yours very truly, COLFAX MORTGAGE & INSURANCE SERVICE, INC. Clifford A. Pletcher, Secretary - Treasurer (Signed) Councilman Korpal moved that the communication be accepted and placed on file. Councilman Niezgodski seconded the motion. Motion carried.
