CHIARA HOME, INC. <br />The petition of Chiara Home, 111c. seeking a Special Exception for a residential care facility, on property <br />located at 1425 Clayton Drive. This property is zoned "SF1" <br />MR. JAMES MASTERS: I'm the attoniey for the Chiara Home petitioning this case along with Mr. David <br />Nufer who is the property owner. The petition is for a Special Exception for property at 1425 Clayton Drive <br />in South Bend, Indiana. You may or may not be familiar with Chiara Home. Chiara Home provides respite <br />care services for families who care for an individual with the disability or other special needs. The idea of <br />respite care is really to take in the person so that the family might have some free time to themselves. A free <br />weekend, ovei-~light or just during the day. It was my pleasure to have served as a member of the Board of <br />Directors for six years. My legal assistant Susan Kating is also a member of the Board. She has a son who is <br />a regular guest of the Chiara Home and sitting next to her is Brenda Emmericlc the development director for <br />Chiara Home. This property becoming available to Chiara Home is really a God send. For a number of years <br />Chiara Home has been looking for other property to expand. To be able serve it's client's in a better fashion. <br />This property became available and I know Mr. Nufer would be embarrassed for me to say this, but Mr. Nufer <br />is the president of the Board of Directors of Chiara Home, and when it became available, because it's such a <br />good fit for Chiara'Home, he purchased it to hold to take off the market until Chiara Home could go through <br />
