Paul Phair, Vice President of Development for Holladay Properties, with offices at 3454 Douglas
Road, South Bend, IN, stated he was present to request a vacation for a former right of way of
Corby to the west of Arthur Street and south of Corby. The request stems from the Five Corners
LLC acquisition, over the last 15 months, of two single family home lots, which will be part of an
upcoming Holladay Properties development. The aim of the project is to clean the area up, and it
is currently going through the subdivision planning process. The request is to vacate the last sliver
of right of way from the realignment of the Five Corners intersection.
The Holladay Properties development will consist of a 108-unit apartment building and a mixed-
use building with retail on the first floor and condo units above, which together will be a single lot
development.
Citizen Member Carl Littrell inquired if the dedication for the triangle on the north edge of
property had been cleared up.
Paul Phair stated that his understanding was that this area, which involves a state right of way,
does not interfere with the development plans for the project; he noted that Holladay
Properties' civil engineer would attend the full Council meeting this evening and could
confirm this.
Citizen Member Carl Littrell motioned to send a second (2 nd) Substitute Bill No. 15-23 to the
City Council with a favorable recommendation, seconded by Committee Member Lori
Hamann, and carried by a vote of fi ve (5) ayes.
