REGULAR MEETING <br />MAY 12, 2014 <br />This being the time heretofore set for the Public Hearing on the above bill, proponents and <br />opponents were given an opportunity to be heard. <br />Those wishing to speak in favor: <br />Robert Folks- 208 Calvin Street - The neighborhood has changed tremendously, Mr. Bumbacka <br />has made great changes to the neighborhood. With student families and impressed with the work <br />that he has done to the houses in the neighborhood. <br />Neighbor- 1008 Calvert St- At first I was afraid to stay in the neighborhood, but he has brought <br />up the value of the neighborhood. If you can let Notre Dame do it, then why not him. There <br />should be no favoritism. People should be treated equally. The students there are respectful, I <br />rather live by Notre Dame students than regular people. He is doing an excellent job. If you don't <br />live there you can't say what's going on there. This is South Bend, IN not Notre Dame, IN. <br />Angela Murray- 2265 N Johnson St- I believe Cosmo has done an excellent job. He came in and <br />fixed up the homes and changed it around <br />Chad Conan- 1015 Talbert- I have lived there for 15 years, ever since he came in the <br />neighborhood he bought up the houses and renovated them and made them look nice. You have <br />to live in a neighborhood to know what's going on. <br />William Bumbacka- The housing in that area is changing. Why is it okay when Notre Dame <br />wants to change it but not when an individual comes to change it? <br />Cher Osborne- 1310 Calvert St- My neighborhood has changed for the better. I enjoy leaving <br />with the college students. Why should Notre Dame be allowed to tell us how to run my <br />neighborhood, they pay no bills where I live. <br />Jesse Davis- P.O. Box 10205- If you check with the health department maximum occupancy for <br />a 3 bedroom home is 2 people per bedroom. It looks like you have a select group of people that <br />can come in here and get anything they want but a hardworking man can't? Why wouldn't you <br />want to have more people in the neighborhood? Especially students. <br />Those wishing to speak in opposition: <br />Noreen VanBuren- 1760 W Calvert- it is a similar neighborhood but the opposite side. He <br />continues to rent houses to students because he can get $600 per student to get thousands per <br />home. This house is not zoned for that. There should be no special favors, it does change the <br />neighborhood. Throughout the city we have legality, the city's point should not allow this. There <br />are numerous apartments in the city that's where the students should go. <br />Paul Myer- 211 N Eddy -I'm here on behalf of the South Bend Clinic and VP of Northeast <br />Neighborhood, we are unanimously opposed. I appreciate his work in the neighborhood, the <br />issue is the ordinance that is in place. There a number of letters that have been submitted in <br />opposition, <br />Bill Stince- 1020 E Colfax- Resident of Northeast Neighborhood, we are all opposed. Last year, <br />we had our grand -child over, when there was a house party in the neighborhood. There was <br />bottles and trash all over the neighborhood. Not every student is the idea student. <br />Gary King- 730 South Bend - These house are in a single family neighborhood, the houses reflect <br />small families, and the parking reflects that the streets reflect that. <br />Male - (Inaudible) I live in the triangle. I speak in opposition. I don't want to live around a bunch <br />of underage students. <br />4 <br />
