South Ben Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular M eting — August 28, 2012 <br />2. NEW BUSINESS <br />A. South Side Development Area <br />(1 ) continued... <br />B3 requires the acquisition of 18 properties. <br />Mr. Durr said that Option D is a hybrid of <br />Options A, B, and C. Option D addresses the <br />primary issue of additional traffic from U.S. <br />31 by enlarging the intersection at Fellows <br />and Ireland and providing an alternative <br />route through park land to Michigan Street. <br />It also reconfigures Fellows to address the <br />problem intersections at Teri, Barbie and <br />Chippewa. By moving the additional traffic <br />to Michigan Street down Walter and through <br />park land, it returns Fellows to a residential <br />two lane road with on street parking. It will <br />solve all the drainage issues existing issues <br />on Fellows and Barbie On- street parking <br />would be available for`,Fellows and for <br />Chippewa. It does require the use of park <br />property and requires the acquisition of 19 <br />properties. The majority of properties are in <br />the north quadrant near Chippewa, Teri and <br />Barbie. <br />Mr. Durr noted that the drawings show what <br />total acquisitions would be needed for the <br />project, but not where partial acquisition <br />would be needed. The drawings will be put <br />on the city's Web page, <br />www.southbendin.gov <br />Mr. Durr offered to take questions from the <br />Commissioners at this time. <br />Mr. Varner said that he prefers a plan that <br />keeps traffic on a commercial street (Ireland) <br />and minimizes the nu,,.; e of property <br />
