2. The property is owned by Frank Palmer, Jr.
3. A legal description of the property is as follows: Lots 272, 273, 274, 275, 276, and
277 and the South one -half of the vacated alley on the North side of Lot 272 in D. A.
Shively's Addition to the City of South Bend.
4. It is desired and requested that the foregoing property be restored and returned to its
original zoning of "D" Light Industrial use and "E" Height and Area district. It

Frank Palmer, Jr.
5. The subject property, together with, Lots 269, 270 and 271 and the North one -half of
the vacated alley lying immediately to the South thereof in D. A. Shively's addition

and was used for a dairy bottling plant until 1963. In February 1969, the owner, Frank
Palmer, entered into a land contract sales agreement with Engineered Rubber & Plastics
Corp. for the sale of said lots 269, 270 and 271 and the North one -half of the vacated
alley. This same Contract Purchaser is now desirous of acquiring subject real estate
in order to provide for future growth of its industrial plant. It has no plans for
development of the subject real estate at this time.
On May 14, 1970 Engineered Rubber & Plastics Corp. entered into a contract to purchase
subject real estate. The purchase agreement was conditioned on said real estate being
restored to its previous zoning status, "Light Industrial ".
The purchaser has joined in this petition for amendment to the zoning ordinance.

the establishing of an economic development commission; this was in reply to Miss Virginia Guthriet
inquiries.
