REGULAR EETING FEBRUARY 12; 1973
<br />IREGULAR MEETING - RECONVENED (CONTINUED)
<br />A public hearing was held on the resolution at this time. Mr. Kenneth Fedder, Attorney for the
<br />Economic Development Commission, introduced Mr. Edward Hardig, Attorney for Luther Beverages. Mr.
<br />Hardig explained that Luther Beverages is located between Niles and Hill Street on the East side
<br />of the St. Joe River. He went on to say that this was its 40th year in business and originally,
<br />it had started out as a dairy farm. Now the business deals with beer and it is expanding quite
<br />rapidly. He mentioned that the Luther family owns adjoining parcels of land. The area in questioi
<br />is zoned for additional warehousing, and Mr. Hardig has obtained a building permit. He indicated
<br />that Luther Beverages was applying for these bonds because it is a definite need for the company.
<br />Mr. Darrell Corbett, 614 Angela Boulevard, representing the McCollough Construction Company,
<br />indicated that the proposed building after construction would be about 12,000 square feet. He
<br />presented a drawing of the proposed building. Councilman Miller asked about the alley, and Mr.
<br />Corbett answered that they would not be going into the alley. He also mentioned that the warehouse
<br />would be a steel building. Councilman Miller brought up the fact that this would not comply with
<br />the comprehensive plan for use in the future, and Mr. Corbett indicated that the area was properly
<br />zoned for the warehouse. He indicated that, across the river there is a warehouse facility, and
<br />he mentioned that the Luther investment would be about $100,000.00.
<br />Councilman Parent made a motion that the resolution be adopted, seconded by Councilman Szymkowiak.
<br />Councilman Kopczynski asked if Mr. Hardig felt that people should determine the use of the land.
<br />Mr. Hardig indicated that each particular situation must be looked into. He mentioned that Luther
<br />Beverages does have vested rights in the community, and now they have to expand. He felt the
<br />Council should try to keep the firm in South Bend. Councilman Miller felt this was admirable,
<br />however, he indicated that his concern was for the best use of the land. He mentioned that, at
<br />some future date, it might be determined that the area should be used for a different purpose and
<br />possibly the plan would have to be re- evaluated. The resolution passed by a roll call vote of
<br />eight ayes (Councilmen Szymkowiak, Miller, Parent, Taylor, Kopczynski, Horvath, Newburn and Nemeth)
<br />and one absent (Councilman Serge).
