South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting –June 4, 2010 <br /> <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> <br />B. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> <br />(1) continued… <br /> <br />Mr. Relos noted that on January 15, 2010 the <br />Commission authorized staff to conduct <br />surveys, investigations, and to thoroughly <br />study the Airport Economic Development <br />Area. This process included the gathering of <br />information on parcels to be added to the <br />acquisition list and an estimation of costs <br />associated with the acquisition and <br />redevelopment of properties within this <br />development area. <br /> <br />Resolution No. 2692 is a declaratory <br />resolution which begins the process of <br />adding 755 S. Michigan Street to the <br />acquisition list of the Airport Economic <br />Development Area Development Plan. 755 <br />S. Michigan St. is a one-story commercial <br />building just north of the Center for the <br />Homeless. Acquisition of this property <br />would allow the Commission to partner with <br />Memorial Hospital, as it has with Ivy Tech, <br />Hansel Center, and the Engman Natatorium. <br />The Commission will purchase and clear the <br />property. Memorial Hospital will then <br />construct a new medical clinic on the site. <br /> <br />Staff requests approval of Resolution <br />No. 2692 and authorization to advertise for a <br />public hearing after the Area Plan <br />Commission and Common Council approve <br />separate resolutions approving the <br />amendment to the development plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Inks noted that the Commission does not <br />have eminent domain in the AEDA, so the <br />acquisition will be voluntary. <br /> 6 <br /> <br />
