L.P. . <br /> Resolution for Waiver of Non-Compliance(Tax Abatement) <br /> Dear Mr. Voorde: <br /> As you know, we are pleased to represent Holladay Properties and its affiliate, Huron <br /> Partners, L.P., with certain real estate matters. On behalf of Huron Partners, we kindly request the <br /> Common Council's consideration of the enclosed Resolution to formerly waive Huron Partners' <br /> technical non-compliance with a filing requirement to claim the benefits of certain tax abatement. <br /> More specifically, in 2006, the Common Council granted a nine (9) year tax abatement on <br /> Huron Partners' proposed investment to construct a 150,000 square foot light industrial facility in <br /> Portage Prairie (City of South Bend). Huron Partners successfully completed construction of this <br /> facility, met its investment target and now leases the entire facility to a few tenants (who employ 40+ <br /> employees). The building was first assessed as of March 1, 2009 (for property taxes which became <br /> due and payable in 2010). Due to employee turnover, Huron Partners inadvertently missed the 30- <br /> day window to claim the benefits of the abatement for the 2009-pay-2010 tax year. The enclosed <br /> resolution kindly requests waiver of this non-compliance in order to restore the tax abatement <br /> benefits to which Huron Partners would have received had it timely filed the application. <br /> We are happy to meet with the Communit� and Economic Development Committee of the <br /> Council and the full Council on Monday, August 8` , or at such other date as the Council may prefer. <br /> Please feel welcome to contact me, at any time, if I can provide any additional information. We <br /> greatly appreciate your professional assistance. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> ES &THORNBU �KC;LLP ,: , <br /> �t J. �.9.�.. � .-�.. ._ .--� <br /> � AUu i�3 2011 `� <br /> Richard J.
