\u00c2\u00a0Especially given the fact that since a non-profit agency now owns this property, it is off the tax rolls? \u00c2\u00a0The City will receive no revenue from anything developed on the property. \u00c2\u00a0The only reason for the expenditure would be a direct result of the Charis House&#8217;s desire to build there. \u00c2\u00a0Is this fair to taxpayers?<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned before, this is one of only a couple of properties left that can be directly tied into our riverfront. \u00c2\u00a0Sunday, I had the opportunity to sit by the St. Mary&#8217;s River at the Old Fort. \u00c2\u00a0In the space of an hour, two boats, two kayaks and a canoe went floating by. \u00c2\u00a0Our citizens want to be on the rivers as borne out by the North River Now charettes and BluePrint and BluePrint Plus projects. \u00c2\u00a0This property, while behind a levee, can still provide access to the river. \u00c2\u00a0If you think that the levee cuts off the access, I&#8217;d suggest you talk to the owners of Fort Wayne Outfitters. \u00c2\u00a0Allowing Charis House to be built here because it&#8217;s the first development in years to come along would eliminate consideration of other possible projects &#8211; projects that would be a much better fit for this property. \u00c2\u00a0You can build a Charis House anywhere, you can&#8217;t say that about Fort Wayne Outfitters.<\/p>\n<p>An argument has been made, and to a point, a valid one, about property owner&#8217;s rights. \u00c2\u00a0Yes a property owner should be able to do what he wants with his property. \u00c2\u00a0However, this should be within reason and a good fit with the surrounding community. \u00c2\u00a0Part of deciding if it&#8217;s reasonable and a good fit is determined by zoning classifications. \u00c2\u00a0The other part should be decided by CDAPs and the comprehensive plan for the entire City\/County.<\/p>\n<p>I know there are unmeasurable residual benefits from an organization such as Charis House, but do these justify throwing out a community&#8217;s desires? \u00c2\u00a0Do these unmeasurable benefits equate to the cost of a pump station? \u00c2\u00a0These are the issues to be decided tonight by the Plan Commission.<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/charis-house\/68972.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The northwest corner of the Charis House on Washington Boulevard.
