property to be excluded from the acquisition or otherwise excluded from the effects of the establishment of the redevelopment project area or the amendment of the resolution or plan for an existing area; (C) The parts of the area acquired, if any, that are to be devoted to public ways, levees, sewerage, parks, playgrounds, and other public purposes under the redevelopment plan; (D) Lists of the owners of the various parcels of property proposed to be acquired for, or otherwise affected by, the establishment of an area or the amendment of the resolution or plan for an existing area; and an estimate of the costs, if any, to be incurred for the acquisition and redevelopment of property. Staff would like to study additional acquisition target areas in the Ignition Park planning area and would request the Commission to consider and authorize the Staff to proceed on gathering information for the following three planning areas: Area 1: Ivy Tech Planning Area -East Sample Street As the City continues to work with Ivy Tech on their short and long term planning process, both parties continue to explore reuse opportunities of properties along the East Sample Street corridor. Presently, the Enyert Motors building located at 117 E Sample Street is for sale and the two story building might serve the space needs for Ivy Tech in the event other properties are not able to be acquired. The other properties proposed for study are adjacent to the Enyert property and are being proposed for study as part of a smart-plan process. Area 2: Airport Industrial Park, Phase 2 -Maplewood The City of South Bend and the St. Joseph County Airport Authority have been working together to coordinate infrastructure improvements and parcel acquisition in the Airport Industrial Parks 1&2 area southeast of the airport complex. The City has been approached by 1St Source Bank, owner of one of the parcels in the target block area between Maplewood and Sheridan, about their interest in selling their parcel. The Commission presently owns four properties in this block area and this is one of four parcels that has yet to be acquired by the City in this area. By acquiring this parcel, the City could close and vacate Maplewood adjacent and north of this property. In summary, Staff would request that the Commission authorize the staff to begin the preparation of plans and maps and related property information, in conformance with State Law, for the two areas highlighted above. Once the information is gathered, staff will present the information to the Commission and then, upon approval of the planning information, will present a Declaratory Resolution to the Commission to amend the acquisition list for the AEDA. Separate resolutions will also be required to be approved by the Area Plan Commission and the Common Council before a final public action before the Redevelopment Commission in the form of a public hearing and Confirming Resolution.
