South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting -March 28, 2008 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />A. Public Hearing <br />(2) Commission approval requested for <br />Resolution No. 2441. <br />Mr. Schalliol responded to Mr. Aichele. The <br />acquisition list was generated was through <br />input from property owners who wanted to <br />talk about being acquired, starting with what <br />their properties might be worth. We didn't <br />originally to acquire Richey's Radiator, and <br />we still haven't had conversation with them <br />about acquisition, but the only way the <br />Commission can start the process is to put <br />the property on the Acquisition List. We've <br />gotten appraisals, we've gotten some title <br />work done, we've gotten some <br />environmental assessments on several of the <br />properties around you. We've had <br />conversations with Paul from your <br />organization. The conversation with Paul <br />was that he's not ready yet. We will talk <br />again with your company when we have <br />more information. Our intention would be to <br />leave in place as much of the local business <br />that's in the neighborhood. Maybe this <br />somewhat addresses the second question. <br />While we see that we need to make some <br />public improvements in and around the <br />ballpark, the intent of the planning process <br />will be to bring residential, new commercial <br />and new recreational opportunities to the <br />area. We want to keep business. We <br />anticipate a plan that adds new commercial <br />enterprise to the area. We'd certainly <br />encourage you to continue doing business at <br />your location. If at some point in time you <br />feel that the climate has changed and you <br />want to move on, much like Harmon Glass <br />made that business decision, Mr. Schalliol <br />8 <br />
