South Bend lWevelopment Commission Special Meeting - August 8, 1980 6. NEW e. Yx.lEllison continues.... will have to have that same question an red for them but I don't believe it does set that kind of precedent. In the case an attempt was actually made to file an application in late 1979 under the old five year statute, and whem it was determined that abatement was no longer available by that time, we bad already taken 'a position that we zmd the City were not going to be processing applications until a procedure had been established. Therefore, Hablin had to begin con- s tion. I think they really met the spirit by attempting to file back in December. Mr. Robinson: What happen to the tax abatement petition we turned down for Mos s berg? Mr. Ellison: That one was recommended to the Council and the Council passed a &claratory resolution and I believe it is now on its way to Area Plan for Their approval or back to the Council for confirmation. Mr. Butler: I would say additionally that: the statute itself does not require that: the application be submitted before any construction commences or before a building, permit is granted. Mr. Harold Brueseke: I appreciate Re velcpment's interest in their willingness to consider the application and allow these gentlemen to show their int rest in the abatement. Mr. Robinson made a motion that the staff report from the Department of Reckrvelopment relative to a tax. abate- men request from the Hablin Company, Inc. relative to an area commonly referred to as 225 -229 S. Michigan be Eppraved and that the Redevelopment C cr 'ssion recommend.to the City Council that: this petition be granted, seconded by . Donaldson, and the motion was unar�imouslv carried. -17-
