South Bend edevelcpment Commission <br />Regular Meeting - October 26, 1990 <br />6. NEW BUSVESS (Cont.) <br />a. continued... <br />Mr. Paul White, Edward J. White Plumbing <br />and Heating. I own property on Main <br />Street. My father started the business <br />in that location in 1927 on Michigan St. <br />and over the years we have acquired <br />adjoining property across the alley on <br />Main St. I own a total of 4 lots on Main <br />St. for storage. You want to buy half of <br />that. If you buy half of my yard in <br />effe,at you put me out of business. I <br />don t think it's fair Iand I'm not going <br />to sit still and see it be done. I would <br />like my property removed fram, the list of <br />acchisitions. <br />Calvin Murdock with Murdock & Sons <br />Construction as well as Calvin Murdock <br />personally and Omega Properties. I have <br />had numerous hearings with Economic <br />Development with regards to our own <br />proposed development on Lafayette and <br />F!rwiklin St. I am confused as to why <br />those properties that we have acquired at <br />scmn cost are on the list. We have been <br />told that what we are proposing is <br />consistent with Economic Development's <br />aim to develop the area. We are indeed <br />anx ous to see those efforts continue, <br />particularly with those parcels we have <br />sated that we need some assistance in <br />acciairing in order that we can control <br />enot gh of the property. I think there are <br />3 or 4 parcels that we do need in order <br />to J ulfill the master plan of our <br />pro ect. We can see that we have an <br />extianeous tract of land dawn in the 1100 <br />block that is not contiguous with any of <br />the other properties that I certainly see <br />will, be consistent to relinquish that. <br />But I don't see the merit particularly <br />wi the effort and considerable dollars <br />the we've already invested in our <br />-17- <br />
