South Bend, IN 46628 <br />Statement of variance requested and reason for request: A special use variance is being requested for <br />the subject property so St. Vincent de Paul Society can legally exercise retail operations within their <br />leased portion of the building. The proposed 42,000 SF portion of the building with frontage on Bendix <br />Rd. will contain about a 12,000 SF retail floor to sell donated goods. <br />1. This zoning Special Exception will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and <br />general welfare of the community because the retail floor will be clean and operated under <br />proper HVAC. Area of operations also has a proper fire suppression system and ample <br />pedestrian exits. <br />2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be <br />affected in a substantially adverse manner because this Special Exception will not disrupt <br />the operations of adjacent properties or use their premises for any reason. The retail floor <br />requested is within the building and not visible from the outside. <br />3. This strict application of the terms of the zoning ordinance will not result in practical <br />difficulties in the use of the property because it will be practiced within the legally leased <br />portion of the subject property. <br />Zoning Classification: LI Light Industrial <br />Township: Portage Township <br />S' ature <br />Petitioner <br />Anne Hosinski Watson <br />Executive Director <br />St. Vincent de Paul Society of St. Joseph County, Inc. <br />520 Crescent Ave., South Bend, IN 46617 <br />1 -574- 318 -3003 <br />
