South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting —March 8, 2011 <br />Mr. Sikora noted that Wightman Petrie <br />previously conducted a Phase I assessment <br />on a portion of the city block bounded by <br />Western Ave, Taylor Street, Wayne Street <br />and Williams Street (including the former <br />Fred's Transmission and a Gates auto <br />salvage yard) — northwest of Coveleski Park. <br />The city is interested in marketing this site as <br />part of a residential redevelopment effort and <br />has been meeting with potential partners in <br />this endeavor. Staff is now proposing to <br />complete a Phase I /II Environmental Site <br />Assessment for the entire redevelopment site <br />to identify recognized environmental <br />conditions, as well as obtain data for <br />confirmation that the subject site does not <br />pose any "excess risk" with regard to <br />residential development. In addition, we <br />have requested that all existing utilities and <br />associated connections to the residential lots <br />be mapped in order to support the <br />development. <br />Wightman Petrie has submitted a proposal to <br />provide environmental assessment and <br />associated services for a fee of $12,500. <br />Staff requests approval of this Professional <br />Services Agreement. <br />Mr. Gibney noted that the Coveleski <br />neighborhood plan calls for infill housing on <br />this block. The site is within walking <br />distance to downtown and to the Kroc <br />Center. The land is approved across the street <br />at St. Patrick Church for 18 possible homes. <br />Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by <br />Mr. Alford and unanimously carried, the <br />Commission approved the proposal from <br />Wightman Petrie for the scope of services <br />and fee proposed. (Block bounded by <br />Western Ave, Taylor Street, Wayne Street <br />11 <br />COMMISSION APPROVED THE PROPOSAL FROM <br />WIGHTMAN PETRIE FOR THE SCOPE OF SERVICES <br />AND FEE PROPOSED. (BLOCK BOUNDED BY <br />WESTERN AVE, TAYLOR STREET, WAYNE <br />STREET AND WILLIAM STREET) <br />
