South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—March 8, 2011 <br /> 6. NEW BUSINESS <br /> (A) South Bend Central Development Area <br /> (1) continued... <br /> Mr. Varner then inquired about the city's <br /> willingness to construct a parking garage <br /> nearby. Mr. Gibney responded yes, that the <br /> City of Elkhart does decks which are less <br /> expensive and people have a greater sense of <br /> safety. Decks double the number of cars <br /> accommodated over surface parking. A deck <br /> would be provide room for about 140 cars <br /> which is a lot more than the number of rooms <br /> that would be developed there. We are open <br /> to the conversation about a deck without <br /> store fronts. Parking is needed. The <br /> difference between most other parking <br /> garages in town and a deck is that a deck <br /> would not have a roof. Cost for development <br /> per space is significantly less and in Elkhart <br /> on smaller sites there are series of decks and <br /> people do like them. They are attractive and <br /> people feel safer than being on a third or <br /> fourth floor because decks are open to the air. <br /> It could save money and probably provide <br /> income. <br /> Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by COMMISSION ACCEPTED THE PROPOSAL FROM <br /> Mr. Varner and unanimously carried, the MORRIS&SONS FOR ROOF REPAIR AT THE <br /> Commission accepted the proposal from LASALLE HOTEL.APPROVED MAINTENANCE FOR <br /> ROOF REPAIR IN THE AMOUNT OF$675 AND <br /> Morris & Sons for roof repair at the LaSalle $1370 FOR THE CARPET REPAIR AT THE LASALLE <br /> Hotel.
