PROGRESS REPORTS Tax Abatement: Mr. Zeeb reported that Noble Americas real property abatement; Vida Realty(real property and IRBN (personal property); and Lippert Components (personal property)will have confirming resolutions before the Common Council at its April 28, 2014 meeting. Lock Joint Tube is planning to expand its facility and product lines and will have both real and personal property abatements up for confirming resolutions at the May 12, 2014 Common Council meeting. Other: Mr. Todd Zeiger gave an update on Southhold Restoration's renovation of the Kizer house at 803 W. Washington. He reported on some additional information they had learned about the history of Mr. Kizer in the community. Southhold has renovated the carriage house apartments on the second floor to be livable space. That was done first so that someone could move into that space while renovating the main house. They have also renovated a couple of units of the main house, thinking the same thing: someone could rent that while renovating the remaining portion of the main house. Or it could be management housing for a potential use as an inn. They have also done some cleanup on the outside,removing scrub brush and doing some landscaping. They will next put on new gutters and downspouts on the carriage house. On the main house they have removed some substandard chimneys and repaired some gutters and downspouts. They have used the house for the Restore Michiana series, year-long workshops on renovation of older homes. They have also had several public outreach open houses to give the place some public exposure. 8.
