SS REPRESENTATIVE:
Mr. Milton A. Katz, owner of Milt1s: Grill, at the North- MILT'S GRILL,
eastc rner of Colfax Avenue and Main Street, said he CENTRAL DOWNTOWN URBAI!
merely attended this Commission meeting to see what the RENEWAL PROJECT, R•-66
procedure is and the human side of our transactions. Mr. -
Milton Katz's property is not being acquired by the Urban
Renewal Program, but he has been given an eviction notice
by the building owner, Dr. Sam Katz, who has an optometry
office at 206 North Michigan Street, in.a building which
will be razed. Dr. Katz will be moving to Milt's Grill
locati n about February 28, 1971. He stated Mr. Miller
and everyone in`the Department of Redevelopment has
helped with information and relocation prospects. How-
ever, e claims the rentals to relocate are- exorbttant
and there are not enough places to relocate all the busi-
nesses.
Mr. He men stated that the Commission and staff have a
moral responsibility and will see to it that the.b,us.i-
nesses are properly relocated. Mr. Miller has a t8 t of
temporary sites, but businesses may not want to avail
themselves of these.
Mr. Wi gins advised the Commission has discussed and is
a part of an over -all consideration t4at as land becomes
vacant with demolition, we may.have some sort of an
interin structure or housing to relocate some of the down-
town business firms.
Mr. As enfelter stated demolitton is being phased and is
not at time, thus retaining relocation possibili:ttes,
