South Bend R development Commission Regular Meet g December 7, 1979 6. NEW BUS ME SS c. continued... Mr. Donald Rohan from Trane Aix Conditioning was recognized by the Chair. Mr. han: We have not yet obtained permission for the curb cuts but we do not feel this will be a problem. We won't have a lot of traffic in and out, it is not that type of business. Ms. uburn: I too have some questions concerning that property. It seems like a good location for a business, I don' know if abatement is necessary. Also, when do you plan to start construction? Mr. zarwark: Construction is scheduled to begin in the Spring. With construction costs continuing to rise, abatement could be the difference between building there or going elsewhere, outside the City. Mr. : I'd like to mention that our plan includes cle 4ohan ing up the property along the river and landscaping it it will be very attractive. Mr. �obinson: I'd like to suggest that we not make a deci ion on this matter at this time. Mr. �imtz: Mrs. Hernandez, as a resident of the neighbor - hood what are your views on this request? Mrs. Hernandez (President of S.E. PAC): I'm tired of hearing quotations from the S.E. Planning Profile, and I wish neighbor- hood residents would be consulted ahead of time and not just hear of proposals at meetings like this. Mr. imtz: I think we are all concerned about the lack of advance notice regarding these requests. That is why we are going to vote on a resolution later in this meeting stating our ntention not to consider tax abatement requests until local procedures are set up. Mr. zarwark: With all due respect, I'd like to ask you to sup rt our request before our resolution is considered by the ommon Council. Mr. imtz: I think it might be appropriate to have a motion dela ing any decision on this tax abatement request until local nroc dures and standards are established. M
