SOUlH BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION SPE IAL MEETING: JULY 16, 1973 3. NEW BUSINESS Paqe 3. a. Action on Resolution No. 456, declaring Central Downtown Renewal Area to be blighted and approving an urban renewal plan and conditions under which relocation payments will be made for Project Indiana R -66 and for the making of certain minor changes to the Urban Renewal Plan. Mr. Charles F. Lennon, Jr., Executive Director, apprised the Com- mission that the reason for this Special Meeting is the 1972 Burns Indiana Statute Law which requires the acquiring agency to secure two separate fee appraisals and it is customary to make a fair market offer based on the average of the appraisal results and for a minor plan change in the R -66 Project. The following were placed on the official notice: Parcel No. Building 2 -5 Water Works, 224 N. Main St. 2 -12 Volcano (Roma Restaurant), 219 N. Michigan St. 21 -13 Kings Clothing Store, 321 SR Michigan St. 21 -15 Avon Theatre, 307 S. Michigan St. All have been on the Amendatory list but we now must have up -to- date appraisals. Other parcels have been appraised and considered part of the Urban Renewal process. Mr. Lennon read Resolution No. 456 in its entirety for considera- tion by the Commission for adoption. In summary, there are two major points: 1) Approval of appraisals for parcels of land presently on contract and which will remain on contract. These were originally placed on the list in September, 1972. 2) The amended use is for a minor plan change, for Block 6 -- 20 -acre site along the River- -now documented as Service Commercial /residential, which was previously discussed in one of our prior Commission meetings. The minor plan change and the declaratory resolution will be presented to the Area Plan Commission for tomorrow evening's meet- ing (July 17), and Monday to the Common Council (July 23). A Public Hearing will be held at 10:30 A.M., August 3, 1973, in a Regular Commission Meeting, which will be held in the City - Council Chambers, County -City Building, for any remonstrances to be heard against this particular Resolution. If the Resolution is approved by all, it will go before the Michiana Council of Govern- ments in their August meeting.
