page 2 <br />b. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not <br />be affected in a substantially adverse manner; <br />This project serves as a transition between the residential neighborhood to the east <br />and the multi -use facilities to the west. The business immediately west of the project <br />site is a multi -use commercial /residential building. Across the street to the south is the <br />Oliver Mansion/ History Museum, a multi -use facility with meeting space, offices and <br />museum. Other multi -use buildings exist to the west such as the Notre Dame Center <br />for Art and Culture and the Civil Rights Heritage Center. The gallery/meeting space <br />will be primarily used after hours with the office spaces used during normal daytime <br />hours. There will also be parking lot screening provided at this rear parking lot and <br />overall landscape improvements, per the attached plans. <br />c. The strict application of the terms of the zoning ordinance will result in practical <br />difficulties in the use of the property; <br />The strict application of this Ordinance would only allow for part of this building to be <br />used for the intended office and meeting use. <br />On behalf of the Owners, Indiana Landmarks, thank you for considering the variance <br />requests. <br />Sincerely, <br />Gregory A.
