South Bend edevelopment Commission <br />Special Mee ing - November 12, 1991 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) <br />b. continued... <br />measurable. The Commission's needs are <br />somewhat speculative. At this point you <br />don't have anybody sitting down there <br />saying, "Gee, give me this three acre <br />site because I'm going to do something. <br />We' a currently doing something. I would <br />thi k that my needs ought to have a <br />higher precedent than the wish list. <br />That's my concern. <br />MR. DONOHO: Well, my concern is this <br />came before us and was on an acquisition <br />list some time ago. <br />MRS KOLATA: A year ago. <br />MR.

And, I <br />thi k you even did go to Design Review, <br />di 't you? <br />MR ZRDOCK: I don't think you had a <br />Des gn Review Committee meeting. <br />MRS KOLATA: OK. But we had certainly <br />seen plans for the office building and it <br />was a different project. Plus, it is not <br />simply not buying Mr. Murdock's <br />property. It is offering for sale <br />-11- <br />
