South Bend Commission <br />Regular Mee �edevelopment <br />ing April 23, 1982 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (Continued) <br />a. continued .... <br />a <br />to rd non- union. Their intent is to do away <br />wit union work in the entirety and I think the <br />Co fission is sensative to that. <br />)mrrission consideration requested for a <br />)x abatement r6 uett relative to an area <br />)m onl v referred to as ' 121 1468t ' Col fax <br />Avenue (Kenneth'Robert Peczkowski). <br />Mr. Robert Parker, attorney for Mr. Pecskowski, <br />sta ed the petition involves the Griffon Book <br />Sto e. <br />The building is immediately east of People's <br />Federal Savings & Loan, on Colfax between Main <br />and Michigan Streets. Mr. Peczkowski purchased <br />this property from Charles Sonneborn last summer. <br />He is now in the process of negotiating with con- <br />tractors for improvements, he has an architect <br />and ie has drawings prepared for the renovation <br />of t is building. It will house the Griffon <br />Book Store which is one of the remaining busi- <br />ness s on Michigan Street, two doors north of <br />Osco's. He will maintain in the property the <br />same type of business he is operating now. He <br />will utilize the basement, first floor, and <br />second floor of the building, all of which will <br />be r modeled. This building does have three <br />floors and maybe in the future there will be <br />a us2 of the third floor. He will operate his <br />book store and a game room as he does now on <br />Michigan Street. It is my understanding this <br />prop rty is out of the present tax abatement <br />area, so there needs to be an extension of this <br />area for this particular property. It has been <br />vacant since Dial Finance was there. This is a <br />downtown businessman who definitely desires to <br />stay in the downtown. <br />Mr, cMahon stated that the staff recommends <br />that the Commission refer this favorably to the <br />City Council. <br />Upon a motion by P-1r. Robinson, seconded by Ms. <br />Aubu n and unanimously carried, the staff re- <br />port recommending to the Council that the tax <br />abat ment be granted was approved. <br />TAX ABATEMENT REQUEST FOR <br />KENNETH ROBERT PECZKOWSKI <br />WAS APPROVED (121 W.COLFAX) <br />
