F. 574-251-4440 1212 Walnut Street www.abonmarche.com South Bend, IN 46619 Phone: (574) 239-8914 FORT WAYNE, IN BEMON HARBOR, MI Members of the Board: MANISTEE, MI SOUTH HAVEN, MI We are requesting a special exception to allow a group residence within Units "L" and "M" at Stadium Village Homes. See attached Marketing Drawing and the Burdette Street Villas Minor Subdivision for the project location. The reason for this special exception is to allow for two units within the Stadium Village Homes development to be utilized as a group residence for a Jesuit community. The intention is to create one large unit by having the main floor of each unit open to each other in the dining area in such a manner that the wall could be closed up in the event of a resale. There will be a maximum of 8 residents, and there will be 8 bedrooms between the two combined units. This special exception will allow for the members of the Jesuit community to function as one single non-traditional family. It is understood that this special exception request meets the following standards: 1. The approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community. The presence of a Jesuit Community within the Stadium Village Homes development will largely be unnoticed in comparison to the other condominium units. The Jesuit community will function similarly to all the other condominium units within the development.
