3 therein. This proposed building will actually create a buffer area between the more intense Commercial uses that presently exist along the South side of Vaness Street and on the East side of Willis Avenue by the existing Automotive Tire and Service Center. The Petitioners believe this proposed use .will be consistent with the character of the district in which it is located and the land uses authorized therein. The Petitioners believe this use will allow for a layering of land use types which, at the present, are high intensity Commercial uses along the South side of Vaness Street, Commercial use on the East side of Willis Avenue, Student Apartments to the Southwest of the Petition site and a mix of single-family homes and quad-plex residential homes to the North. The Petitioners also believe that approval of this Special Exception will be compatible with the recommendations of the City of South Bend Comprehensive plan; all of which is requested by the South Bend Municipal Code ~ 21-09.03 (i). To re-state as described above, the Petitioners would ask the Board Members to agree that approval of the Special Exception to allow for the proposed Hotel would not be injurious to the public health, safety, comfort, community moral standards, convenience or general welfare, or .injure or adversely affect the use of the adjacent area or property values therein, and that the proposed use will be consistent with the character of the district in which it is located and the land uses authorized therein, and that the proposed use is compatible with the recommendations of the City of South Bend Comprehensive plan, all of which is requested by the South Bend Municipal Code ~ 21-09.03 (i). The Petitioners contend that the strict application of the terms of the Zoning ordinance will constitute an unusual and unnecessary hardship as applied to the property for which the Special Exception is sought: that the need for the Special Exception arises from such condition peculiar , to the property in the same Zone : and that the use or value of the .area adjacent to the property described. in the petition for the Special Exception will not be injurious to the public health, Safety, morals, or general welfare of the community. I attest, under the penalties for perjury, that the foregoing representations are true. Michael J. Danch President Danch, Harney & Associates, Inc.
