BETTY J HEIRTEL <br />February 13, 2008 <br />Area Plan Commission of St. Joseph County <br />1140 County- -City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />This letter is in reference to: <br />3422 Sorin Street <br />South Bend, IN 46615 -3336 <br />Phone 574 - 289 -0225 <br />AREA PLAN <br />A proposed ordinance and site development plan of BRC South Bend, <br />L.L.C. to zone from CB community Business District to MF2 High Density <br />Multi - Family District property located between 3515 McKinley Avenue and <br />Approximately 125 feet east of Preston Drive, City of South Bend to allow - <br />APC #2461 -08 <br />As a resident on Sorin Street, I am opposed to the rezoning of this property <br />for several reasons. <br />Primarily, it will have an adverse effect on my property value. This is my <br />chief concern as my home is my main investment. <br />Other considerations are: <br />Increased traffic noises and exhaust fumes <br />Obstructive views and decreased privacy in my back yard. <br />Currently, many residents in this area are using this field as a safe place to <br />walk their dogs, to jog or just go for walks. <br />2008 <br />On a personal note and one which may seem unimportant to you, I like to watch <br />the geese gather there in large numbers as they prepare for their migratory <br />flight in the fall. Frequently, I have seen cars come down that road and park <br />to watch them. How nice if the city could make a park out of that property! <br />Sincerely, <br />
