Charles W Florance <br />802 S Ironwood Dr. <br />South Bend, IN 46615 <br />Area Board of Zoning Appeals <br />125 S Lafayette Blvd., Suite 100 <br />South Bend, Indiana <br />May 19, 2015 <br />Dear Ms. Carolyn A. Henry and members of the Board, <br />Mr. Nathan Rivers recently told me about Legacy Ink, a new Tattoo and <br />Piercings parlor he's planning in River Park. Because it11 be in my own back yard, I <br />wanted to write this letter of support for his Special Exception use. <br />The Controlled Uses section of the zoning ordinance specifically mentions <br />"objectionable secondary impacts" as a reason to limit the number of certain types of <br />businesses that can operate in any one area. I don't believe Nathan's business will <br />have an objectionable impact on River Park. I believe it will be the exact opposite. <br />There's a critical mass of businesses and activities that need to be present for a <br />neighborhood to thrive, and recently it's been a real delight watching other small <br />businesses take root in spaces that haven't had much activity since 2009, when my <br />wife and I moved here. <br />Even if you, or other members of the board, would never consider getting a <br />tattoo, I'd ask you to consider the art's growing popularity, recent developments in <br />sanitation and hygiene, and the behavior of similar shops across the county. I think <br />you'd discover there are very few —if any - "objectionable impacts" that ever materialize. <br />Please consider approving his application for special use. <br />Thank you for taking the time to read my letter of support. Let me know if <br />there's ever anything you need from me. I can be contacted at the address above or at <br />cfloranc(@alunini.nd.edu. <br />Respectfully, <br />C les W Florance <br />Captain, US Army Retired <br />River Park Resident <br />
