Box 4577, South Bend, IN 46634, made the presentation for this <br />bill. <br />Ms. Homann advised that Mr. Phil McClure is also present who is the Facility <br />Chairperson, Michiana Lutheran Education Association Inc. MLEA is association of <br />Lutheran Churches here in this area. They have been operating Resurrection Lutheran <br />Academy since 1998. The current school is located at St. Paul Lutheran Church on <br />Auten Road, and are outgrowing this facility. So several years they have been looking <br />for a suitable location for the school in the South Bend/Mishawaka Area. They went <br />through a number of feasibility studies to determine what would be the best location <br />those feasibility studies identified both the northwest portion of South Bend as well as the <br />Southwest portion of Mishawaka as possible locations for the school. This location <br />seems to be the obvious location to put Resurrection Lutheran Academy. In light of the <br />feasibility studies that had already been done. They have been working for several years <br />for the proposed development on Resurrection Lutheran Academy at this location. The <br />location is on Nimtz Parkway and Olive Road. They own a portion on Olive Road and <br />most of the frontage is on Nimtz Parkway. They have been working with a developer <br />and an architect regarding this development. They do meet the requirements of the <br />Indiana Code and believe this annexation will be good for South Bend because it will <br />support the Blackthorn Development and the northwest residential developments. They <br />have had the opportunity to talk with some of the neighbors, who are happy to have them <br />there, they think. They have not received any negative comments from any of the <br />neighbors. They believe that it is good for the educational system in the area of South <br />Bend. The northwest portion of the city, does not have a lot a parochial or private school <br />opportunities there. They believe that this is an appropriate spot to offer some additional <br />educational opportunities in that area. They are into the design phase for the school, <br />which they hope to open by fall of 2007. They are proposing a 23,000 square foot school <br />with grades ranging from pre-school through eighth grade. It will house 220 children, <br />with room to expand on the site, and also have room for sports facilities, such as soccer, <br />baseball fields, and also house a junior high size gymnasium inside the school facility. <br />They are happy to work with the City and its requirements to make sure that they meet all <br />6 <br /> <br />
