137, REGULAR MEETING APRIL 29. 1986 SALE OF CITY -OWNED PROPERTY AT N.W. CORNER OF LINCOLNWAY AND CHAPIN (INNERBELT) Mr. Leszczynski advised that the Board is in receipt of a letter from Mr. Richard W. Morgan, Attorney at Law, Barnes & Thornburg, 600 1st Source Bank Building, South Bend, Indiana, on behalf of his clients, American Plasma Systems, Inc., regarding the purchase of the above referred to City -owned property. In his letter, Mr. Morgan advised that the Board of Zoning Appeals has approved the use of the property for off -site parking by American Plasma Systems, Inc. However, subsequent to that meeting, the attorney representing residents in the area has indicated that they intend to file a cause of action challenging the action of the Board of Zoning Appeals. In light of this pending legal action, Mr. Morgan asked that the City consider two options. One, that the April 30, 1986, deadline to complete the purchase of the property be extended, or that a Purchase Agreement be prepared which would transfer the property at such time as all parties are assured that the property can be used for off -site parking. Ms. Barnard advised that it had appeared that the City was close to resolving the issue of the use of the above referred to property for off -site parking for American Plasma with the offer to purchase the property extended until April 30, 1986, in order to seek approval from the Board of Zoning Appeals. However, in light of the fact that individuals have indicated their intention to file a lawsuit, Ms. Barnard made a motion that Board Attorney Thomas Bodnar be instructed to prepare the appropriate Purchase Agreement between the City and American Plasma, Inc. that would indicate that the transaction would take place at the time that pending legal action is settled. Mr. Vance seconded the motion and it carried.
