submitted, subject to review and compliance by the staff, ,,,and that the Raitt Corporation be advised by letter of either the approval or disapproval of the plans along with the notice that an extension of time cannot be granted. b. The Commission unanimously approved the motion by Mr. He men, seconded by Mr. Komar, which permits the staff to submit to the Chicago office under Resolu- tion 206, the Part I Application for the Loan and Grant,, Central Downtown Project, R-66. The Chicago federal review is expected to take several months but in the interim, the staff will be meeting with the Common Coun- cil, and various City groups, and any appropriate changes can be incorporated in the Urban Renewal Plan before final action is taken by the Common Council and the Area Ilan Commission. It is proposed that.the ,' Central Downtown Project will take from five to seven'-,, years for development. The preapplication review, which was held recently with the Chicago representatives, left indications that the federal office was very pleased with the downtown program. Mr. Brademas noted that this is certainly a high point in the South Bend Rede- velopment Commission's total program, and the founda- tion that has been laid here in this particular report is a very sound one. The planning for this report has gone very smoothly, Mr. Brademas reported, and expressed pleasure in the privilege of behg selected as the plan- ning consultant. President Wiggins commented that was the report not only on time, but was a little in ad- vance of the schedule and expressed appreciation of the staff and also of City Planning Associates for the com- bined effort. Mr. Wiggins asked that the staff take every mea s possible to encourage the Chicago federal office to expedite this application.
