South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—September 13, 2012 <br /> 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> F. South Side Development Area <br /> (1) continued... <br /> more property taxes to begin with and to it <br /> would be a larger building which means the <br /> improvements would be taxed at a larger <br /> rate. So that eliminates that argument <br /> altogether. <br /> Next argument has to do with the buffer of <br /> homes between the golf course and Fellows. <br /> This argument doesn't hold any water; <br /> pardon the pun, because of the drainage <br /> water that causes problems to the homes that <br /> butt up against the golf course as it stands <br /> now. Just the fact that we will be able take <br /> care of some of the drainage problems using <br /> the original plan makes more sense than <br /> anything else I've seen so far. Also by trying <br /> to save some of these homes we have to then <br /> leave the S-curve at Chippewa in place. Now <br /> even though the argument is there hasn't <br /> been any traffic fatalities at that intersection <br /> in the last period of time, imagine when we <br /> dump all those cars that I described to you in <br /> the first paragraph which will be a regular <br /> occurrence when the bypass is dumped off on <br /> Ireland Road. Now some people argue that <br /> we just simply send people up Ireland Road <br /> and have right-hand turn on Michigan Street. <br /> Ladies and gentlemen that simply won't <br /> happen. Human nature tells us in past <br /> experience that people will simply tried to <br /> get around it by going up Fellows Street. <br /> This is been proven time and time again <br /> when we do a partial repair instead of taking <br /> care the future plan upfront. <br /> The leaders of the South Bend community <br /> 39 <br />
