South Bend, Indiana October 6, 1936 TO `THE HONORABLE VFXBERS OF THE SOUTH BEND CITY COUNCIL GENTLEMEN: - We, the•undersigned, the owners in fee simple of Lot 0 and,a•pe rt of Lot P. in Wenger and Kreighbaum's Vistula Avenue Addition to the City of South Bend, are desirous of having part of Lot P, as hereinafter more particularly described; zoned for Commercial purposes. It is now a.ened as Residential B. On said Lot 0, there is -a filling station of brick construction which is attractive and adds to the convenience and appearance of the surrounding territory. We are desirous of moving the said brick building now located on Lot 0 to a point epproximetely on the boundary line of Lots 0 end P -so that the said building can be rehabilitat- ed, enlarged and modernized as a complete up-to-date super - filling station. Part of . Lot P, as hereinbefore mentioned, is bounded generally as follows: Beginning as a point which -we will describe as the South East corner of Lot D;' thence.South_59 feet.3 inch es alongside and parallel with the hest boundary line of Miami Street-,,'thence in a South Westerly direction 160 feet; to a -point 26 feet South of the South line of Lot 0; thence West 26 feet; thence East to the place of beginning. Since Lot 0 is already zoned for Commercial purposes and,since - the proposed additons end rehabilitations to said building would increase the value of surrounding properties, we can see no reason why that part of Lot P as aforesaid should not be zoned for Commercial pur- poses. The consensus of opinion seems to -be that in order to bring about prosperity, it is necessary that the durable goods- industry" -be enlivened and since it is our desire to construct upon said premises desirable brick and steel buildings, we are certainly proposing to db our share to get South Bend'started once again in making up for its buildng losses suffered during the pest six years It is therefore _ the prayer of the undersigned, that your Honorable Council_.change that 'past of Lot P in Wenger and Krei hbaum s Vistula Avenue Addition to the City of South Bend hereinbefore more particularly described, from a Residential B Zone to,that of Commercial C Heighth and Area. r Respectfully submitted, Charles Kish Emma Kish .
