If Ir <br />Avanti Guest House <br />Avanti Museum Group, LLC <br />A Missouri registered LLC <br />Operating the proposed Avanti oriented Guest House <br />Facility address: 818 Thomas Street <br />South Bend, IN 46601 -2537 <br />Mailing address: 1447 Rose Hill Lane <br />St. Peters, MO 63376 -3744 <br />E -mail: dlindner @mac.com <br />Phone: 314 - 973.8686 <br />Don Lindner, CEO <br />7/10/2013 Ref: Petition for Variance <br />Dear Members of the Board: <br />#1C Seeking a Special Exception for a Bed & Breakfast in a "SF2" District <br />Please consider the proposal for the intended Avanti- Oriented Bed and <br />Breakfast at 818 W. Thomas Street, South Bend, IN 46601 -2537, just across <br />the street from the Studebaker National Museum entry-exit. <br />The advantages are as follows: <br />A It will assist in preserving the Studebaker Avanti. <br />B It will provide enjoyment and entertainment. <br />C It is a place to house and display my $50,000+ collection of material. <br />D It will provide local lodging for visitors to the Studebaker National <br />Museum /Indiana Center for History. <br />E It offers another attraction for S. Bend visitors. (S. Bend attracts people <br />from all over the world in many cases for the love of Studebaker and <br />Avanti). This project will offer additional revenue to the area. <br />F The proposed use will not be injurious to the public health, safety, <br />comfort, community moral standards, convenience or general welfare. <br />This building was vacant and in disrepair for a lengthy time. I think most <br />would agree that what has been accomplished in the last year with funds and <br />hard work invested, is an asset to the neighborhood as well as the local <br />community. <br />Advisory Board: <br />Ed Meyer, Don Hart, Lew Schucart, Karen & Dale Dyer, Dale Sexton <br />Volunteers and donors: Libby Baker, Karen& Dale Dyer, Dale Sexton, Steve Montgomery, <br />Milt Yoder.
