®CITY OF SOUTH BEND I OFFICE OF THE CLERK Avenue Corridor and then down. There is potential there with the My SB Parks & Trails Plan. That is a new piece we have seen come online in the last couple of months. Gold is River East, green is River West, and the light colored things are the things we are contemplating adding. That totals one hundred and nineteen(119) acres. Mr. Mueller went on, For the River West North, the recently annexed property is being looked at to be added to the River West TIF. Number two (2) is the Chocolate Factory annexation. In the upper left corner, we are proposing to remove that piece. To the East of that area is the Portage Prairie and all the development is. We have done a full sewer study analysis and we will not be able to support that with our infrastructure without a major investment. Then the big area below that you see are the Airport Runways. In the bottom right corner is the Airport and Terminal Drive and those will still be included. It is just taking out the broader build out. That totals 1,467 acres. Committeemember Regina Williams-Preston asked, So we are taking that out because, what,they don't pay taxes on the runway stuff? Mr. Mueller replied, It doesn't generate anything so we are just making the map smaller. Mr. Mueller continued, Here is one that gets really interesting. So the first section you see are the commitments we made in 2014 to include the City Cemetery, the Museum Campus and Leeper Park as part of the River West TIF. That is one-a(I a), one-b (I b) and one-c (I c)respectively. We also are looking at the Portage Avenue shops that have come out of the Portage/Elwood visioning section. Then four(4), five(5)and seven(7)are pieces out of the West Side Main Streets Plan that weren't included in the TIF area to resource them. As we are looking to implement the developments coming out of the West Side Main Streets Plan, we are proposing to add those in. There was a Lincoln Park Plan, too, prior to the West Side Main Streets Plan that was also contemplated. There are also pieces eight (8) and nine (9) which are the expansions of the City Cemetery area that is contemplated in the City Cemetery Master Plan. Mr. Mueller went on, I know there had been confusion about some expenditures out of the West Washington TIF for City Cemetery. Those are all in the purple area and none of those TIF dollars from West Washington have gone into the City Cemetery or those proposed areas. Those monies still stayed within the West Washington TIF and,as you see,the City Cemetery Master Plan moves beyond just the City Cemetery. Councilmember John Voorde stated, I've sent an email asking about a little parcel that has a body shop, a gas station and vacant lot. Right on the corner of Portage and Angela. Why wouldn't that be part of that economic development area? Mr. Mueller replied, This is early on in the process. There is plenty of time to talk about additions and substractions. Committeemember Williams-Preston asked,Why did you not decide to expand the TIF on Linden. Mr. Mueller replied, We have not discussed that and, again,this is early on in the process. Mr. Mueller continued, Then the other pieces, six (6), eleven (11), ten (10) and twelve (12) are kind of advancing the My SB Parks & Trails. So you will see LaSalle Park, Pulaski Park, the one EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT 455 County-City Building 1227 W.Jefferson Bvld I South Bend,Indiana 466011 p 574.235.9221 If 574.235.9173 TTD574.235.5567 www.southbendin.gov 2
