REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 22 1973
<br />RESOLUTION NO. 348 -73 (CONTINUED)
<br />A public hearing was held on the resolution at this time. Mr. Kenneth Fedder, Attorney for the
<br />Economic Development Commission, indicated that this is a Phase II application and that the Counci
<br />had previously authorized execution of the industrial revenue bonds. The Commission was request-
<br />ing an additional $150,000 to complete the project. Councilman Nemeth asked about the cost on
<br />the initial project, and Mr. Fedder indicated that it was $500,000. Councilman Nemeth asked if
<br />this additional project would increase employment from 25 to 75 persons, and Mr. Fedder indicated
<br />that the figures would be for the overall project. He concluded that this would mean additional
<br />construction costs which would probably reflect the same amount of employment.
<br />Councilman Szymkowiak made a motion that the resolution be adopted, seconded by Councilman Parent.
<br />The resolution passed by a roll call vote of nine ayes (Councilmen Serge, Szymkowiak, Miller,
<br />Parent, Taylor, Kopczynski, Horvath, Newburn and Nemeth).
<br />RESOLUTION A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF
<br />THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, ST. JOSEPH COUNTY,
<br />INDIANA, IN THE MATTER OF EDMUND J. LUTHER
<br />BEVERAGES, INC., OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA.
<br />A public hearing was held on the resolution at this time. Mr. Kenneth Fedder, Attorney for the
<br />Economic Development Commission, indicated that this was an expansion program of Luther Beverages
<br />and that one of the benefits to be derived from this expansion would be 10 to 12 additional
<br />employees hired within the next few years. Councilman Miller mentioned that, when the Area Plan
<br />Commission had considered this matter, the question had arisen as to the closing of the alley in
<br />that vicinity. He asked where the warehouse was to be located, and Mr. Fedder answered that it
<br />would be adjacent to the existing warehouse south and west from the present location to Washingtoi
<br />and Niles Avenue. Councilman Miller asked if the proposed warehouse was proper under the Area
<br />Plan Commission program as he indicated that warehousing was not contemplated in this particular
<br />area. Mr. Fedder read a letter from Mr. Howard Bellinger, Executive Director of the Area Plan
<br />Commission, which indicated that existing zoning would permit the proposed use subject to local
<br />codes and ordinances. Again, the question was raised as to the exact location of the warehouse
<br />and the type of warehouse that would be constructed. Councilman Miller asked Mr. Fedder if the
<br />Council could continue the matter to the February 12 meeting in order to give them more time to
<br />study the situation. Mr. Fedder agreed to this and further indicated that he could perhaps suppl,
<br />the councilmen with additional supporting information to help them in reaching their decision.
<br />Councilman Miller made a motion to continue the resolution to the February 12, 1973, meeting of
<br />the Common Council, seconded by Councilman Taylor. The motion carried.
