South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Rescheduled Regular Meeting -November 2, 2007 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS <br />A. Public Hearing <br />(5) continued... <br />lease that when LePeep achieves a dollar <br />volume of gross revenue over a certain <br />amount, there's a plus factor that comes to <br />the Commission in the form of additional <br />rent.

INKS: We have already, I think, started <br />the process of looking at how we could <br />consider divesting ourselves of that retail <br />space. We also have some retail space in the <br />Wayne Street garage. It's a little bit <br />complicated because a public entity owns the <br />whole parking garage, the plaza, and the <br />Michigan St. Shops. Obviously, it's a public <br />garage and we' d like to see it stay public. <br />The plaza is a public area; that would stay <br />public. So we need to find some way to split <br />28 <br />
