The focus for the development ofthe Park has been job creation that supports the development concept ofthe Park and is consistent with covenants. Ceruti's is asking for a set- back modification. Joe Ceruti explained that they currently operate a production facility in Kendallville; the lease on that property will expire in September 2005 and Ceruti's plans relocate their facilities to Fort Wayne. In generating the site plan, 3 acres is needed immediately and they would like to purchase 2 additional acres for future expansion.

The lot will be well landscaped with the delivery and distribution docks hidden from plain view. The banquet, meeting room and training center room will have large windows that face the west. Although the plans do not conform to the covenants for Summit Industrial Park II, they do conform to the City's set-back requirements.
