Mr. McManus explained that the first home to be moved is zt 702 South Rush. It is going to be moved to a dou le lot on Clinton Street by Mark Willemin who is goi g to live in the home. He has secured the land and permits and his home is ready to be lifted. The pla was to lift it today and to move it early next wee . The second home is a duplex at 704 -706 Rush. That is goi g to be moved a block north on Rush Street by Greg Ric ards. He is intending to live in one -half of the duplex and renting out the other half. We should be ready to begin preparations on it almost immediately. The third home to be moved is at 710 South Columbia Str et. That is going to be moved to the corner of South and Fellows by a developer named Greg Burnside. He is going to move the home and rehab it, and we alr ady have at least three parties interested in pur- cha ing the home. He has not secured his properties yet, but that should happen within a matter of days. We have three other homes which we also hope to move, located at 718 South Carroll, 707 South Marietta and 316 East Bronson Street. Ms. Derbeck asked if there has been any interest shown in new construction. Mr. McManus stated that Southold has been talking to many people about ideas on new construction, and has seen some favorable response, but this is only in the preliminary stages. Ms. erbeck asked.if the fact that Southold Heritage is t lking the people into doing this has had an im- pact on the attitudes of the people that live there. Mr. posi end proj not McManus replied that it definitely has had a ;ive impact. Since we have been there at the )f August, we have probably seen fifteen different !cts begun, and I think it would be safe to say such of that had happened before. 2 South Bend edevelopment Commission Regular Mee ing - January 15, 1982 7.
