_ South Bend Heritage <br />Phone 574 -280 -1066 Fax .5;4 289 -4.550 w%.nysbhentage.org <br />Bog Lincoln Way Nest South Bend. IN 46616 <br />4.14.16 <br />Area Plan Commission of St. Joseph County <br />1140 County -City Building <br />227 W. Jefferson Blvd. <br />South Bend, EN 46601 <br />Dear Area Plan, <br />As Executive Director of South Bend Heritage Foundation I am writing today to express <br />my strppar`1 €ur the petition by Indiana Landmarks to rezone the historic Kizer house at <br />803 W. Washington from its current multi- family zoning to a mixed use zoning to allow <br />its use for office, meeting space and housing. <br />On behalf of the South Bend Heritage Foundation board I support this proposal as a <br />positive development for the W. Washington neighborhood — a neighborhood we have <br />been working; for decades to revitalize. We also support the proposal as an adjacent <br />property owner with our property at Dunbar Corner and a recent acquisition of the house <br />at 816 Colfax street - a property that abuts the Kizer house site to the north. The Kizer <br />house has beem a long time problem property in our area and the proposal by Indiana <br />Landmarks i.a a good solution by well- respected organization with a strong track record <br />of bringing positive change to such difficult properties around the State. <br />We also support their request for an associated parking variance from the required 30 <br />spaces on site to 13 on -site spaces with the associated plan to utilize existing or newly <br />created on- street parking. The parking variance will allow Indiana Landmarks to remove <br />the concrete that currently covers the front and side yards, compactly handle and create <br />screened parking in the rear of the property, eliminate two dangerous entrances on W. <br />Washington Street and reestablish the street presence for the property. <br />We are confident that Indiana Landmarks will maintain its commitment to redevelop the <br />Kizer House as proposed and inform the neighborhood and others if changes to their <br />plans are required. <br />Sinc rely, <br />00ar—_ <br />Marco Marian <br />Executive Director <br />N <br />elghborW rkv <br />CHARTERED MEMBER <br />Fled in Clerk's Office <br />MAY 1 8 9016 <br />KAREEIvMAH FOWLER <br />CITY CLERK, SOUTH BEND, IN <br />FILED <br />APR 15 2016 <br />AREA PLAN COMMISSION <br />AWUCATI% NO, <br />
