LaMar Wilson <br />Deputy Director <br />December 12, 1979 <br />TO: MEMBERS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL <br />FROM: MARZY BAUER, DEPUTY DIRECTOR <br />COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM <br />J�\�� • D F p <br />• II I o <br />s 2 <br />y <br />V80 0,66 <br />1440 County -City Building <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />219/284 -9335 <br />SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF "SANBORN MAPPING" <br />The Division of Community Development is submitting for your consideration <br />a resolution authorizing the expenditure of $12,990.00 for contractural services. <br />The funds will be used to purchase the updating of existing Sanborn Maps Volume I <br />and Volume II and the expansion of these volumes to allow for total coverage of our <br />Neighborhood Strategy Areas. It should be noted that this is a contractual service <br />which the Council previously approved as a part of our 1979 C.D. Budget. <br />The "Sanborn Mapping" include; block outlines and street configurations, <br />major building with construction date and company name, housing units with street <br />addresses, building use, construction materials, used open areas such as parking <br />or auto sales, vacant or partially vacant structures, and fire hydrants. When <br />the maps are completed, updated and expanded, they will cover an area bounded <br />by Angela /Elwood on the north, Bendix on the west, Ewing on the south, and <br />Greenlawn on the east. <br />The "Sanborn Mapping" is a valuable planning tool and document not only <br />for the preparation of the Community Development application and plan, but also <br />for general planning and grantsmanship activities conducted by the Division of <br />Community Development. <br />In addition the "Sanborn Mapping" will be useful to Police and Fire <br />Departments, Building Department, Substandard Buildings, Redevelopment, etc. <br />and will serve as an invaluable planning resource when working with neighborhood <br />planning groups. <br />We believe that the "Sanborn Mapping" is a most useful resource and a <br />valuable planning tool, and therefore, request your favorable consideration of <br />this resolution. Should you have any questions or request additional information, <br />please contact Steven F. Compton of my staff. <br />MB /bsj <br />Attach. <br />cc: Jon R.
