South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting —June 28, 2011 income levels. Mr. Gibney noted that Mr. Curry, whom he respects, is the sole holdout in the triangle in the Northeast Neighborhood with whom we are actively engaged in eminent domain for his property.

Upon a motion by Ms. King, seconded by Mr. Downes and unanimously carried, the Commission continued the public hearing for Resolution No. 2901 until 4:00 p.m., July 12, 2011. Mr. Varner noted that John Byorni of the Area Plan Commission sent a letter to the Common Council last week in which he specifies that these are guidelines. He asked that Commissioners be provided a copy of Mr. Byorni's letter. Ms. Maradik responded that Mr. Byorni's letter pertained to the overlay district which was already passed and therefore not relevant to the design guidelines. Mr. Varner added that there's one paragraph of his letter which states these 14 PUBLIC HEARING ON RESOLUTION NO. 2901 CONFIRMING A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE NORTHEAST NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT AREA COMMISSION CONTINUED THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR RESOLUTION NO. 2901 UNTIL 4:00 P.M., JULY 12, 2011.
