This case seems rather straightforward. The owner of a property situate in the Grand River Conservation area lists his property for sale. The agent, Ralph Murphy fails to ascertain the zoning and the development restrictions that apply to the property.
Murphy is approached by a purchaser who wants to build on the site. There is certainly a nice view of the Grand River. It’s close, in fact, too close “for development” according to the Grand River Conservation Authority.
The listing agreement was somewhat on the faulty side. It said that the present use was “single family dwelling”. Both the vendor and the purchaser knew that the property was vacant. So, you w

EVANSVILLE Two Daddy’s Pizza, which operated a 250-seat open-air restaurant at the new Marina Pointe Pavilion, off Waterworks Road, and a Downtown pizza delivery service, has closed both operations.
Ron Riecken, owner of the riverfront pavilion, said Saturday was the last night of operation for Two Daddy’s Pizza at the pavilion.
The restaurant had just debuted there over the July 4 weekend.
Riecken said he plans to wait until the pavilion’s new season next spring to lease the restaurant space again.
He said he was uncertain who the new operator may be.
Two Daddy’s was operated by business partners Andrew Klipsch, Kevin Slaughter and Ryan Farmer.
It began its pizza delivery service in April 2009, using the kitchen facilities at the Little Cheers bar and restaurant at Fourth and Main streets for preparing the pizzas.
Until this summer, the partners also sold their pizzas by the slice from a cart on Main Street.
Klipsch attributed the closings to “mostly the economy.”
“We weren’t able to pull in enough (money) per person to make a profit … We were relying

The short sighted landlord may think of the hiring of a property manager as an additional expense, but the knowledgeable property owner knows that an effective property management team can prove to be an important wealth building “tool.”
Certainly, the landlord will pay a fee for services rendered to the property management company, but the services that the property management company can provide will more than offset these fees.
Obviously, any services performed that will maximize profitability and minimize expenses are services that are indispensable to the success of any business venture.
The landlord that thinks only of the cost of hiring a property management team often neglects to consider how much the landlord’s time is worth, and where this time can be put to more advantageous use other than the often tedious and very time-consuming day-to-day rental property management duties and tasks.
The landlord can utilize the knowledge and resources of the property management team to monitor area rental costs on a continuous basis. This i
