CITY OF SOUTH BEND PETE BUTTIGIEG, MAYOR <br />DEPARTMENT OF LAW <br />ALADEAN M. DEROSE <br />CITY ATTORNEY, AD INTERIM <br />March 20, 2012 <br />Mr. Derek Dieter, President <br />South Bend Common Council <br />4t` Floor County -City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />RE: Proposed Addition of various parcels to the South Bend Central <br />Development Area Acquisition List <br />Dear President Dieter: <br />Attached for the Common Council's consideration is a proposed resolution which approves an order of the <br />St. Joseph County Area Plan Commission approving a declaratory resolution adopted by the South Bend <br />Redevelopment Commission. <br />This process began when the South Bend Redevelopment Commission (RDC) conducted a study and <br />determined that it is necessary and beneficial to the orderly redevelopment of the South Bend Central Development <br />Area ( SBCDA) to add various parcels to the SBCDA Acquisition List. The declaratory resolution of the RDC was <br />sent to the St. Joseph County Area Plan Commission (APC) for an order approving the RDC's action. The APC's <br />resolution is now submitted to the South Bend City Common Council for its approval. <br />There are three (3) properties proposed to be added to the acquisition list. The properties are all within the <br />Coveleski Park Planning Area. <br />The subject properties are located on the northwest corner of Main Street and Western Avenue and are the <br />present site of the Gates Automotive Used Car Sales Lot. The properties were acquired as part of the sixteen (16) <br />parcel acquisition from GMS Realty. Because these parcels were not on the acquisition list at the time of purchase, <br />the properties were donated to the Board of Public Works and this process of amending the plan is necessary to <br />allow for the properties to be transferred to the Redevelopment Commission. <br />Either Bill Schalliol or another staff member from the Division of Economic Development will present this <br />Resolution to the Common Council. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Filed Its Clerk's Off 1$; <br />I NIZ <br />J.
