South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Me ting - November 2, 1979 7. PROGRESS REPORTS MrJ Brademas continues... With regards to the bus terminal, it seems that we might have been clairvoyant in our proposal, which at least from what little we have heard here today and from March's report in the paper, sounds about like what we had thought it might be; some open canopies that would be tied into the back of the Odd Fellows Building and then a pedestrian wa kway thru into the mall itself. I'm just wondering whether or not, as an interested citizen and developer, we might have access to those preliminary drawings to verify or possibly even try to modify our plans accordingly. Mr. Ellison: My guess is no. Because the drawings are in eed preliminary, and the thrust of what Gruen is to do is to sort of do a schematic and tie down the mall in relationship, and in that process Gruen has talked to a great number of people. Gruen could elect to talk to the pr posers for this particular building if they so elected, we have not instructed them to do that. But my sense is that, until we accept whatever Gruen is now doing, it pr bably is not suitable for the public release as it will to d to confuse what the City will openly intend to do from a levelopment standpoint. Mr � Nimtz: Actually, those drawings are not in our po session. Mr.l Brademas: That's all I had Mr. President. Mr Nimtz: Thank you, glad to have you here. An thing further? Ms. Derbeck: I have a question about the tax abatement thing, two names were mentioned, South Bend Tool and Di and South Bend Fabricating. Mr Szarwark: South Bend Fabricating is a division of So th Bend Tool and Die. Ms. Derbeck: At first, I thought you were talking about building a new building on that property. (High and Sample) Bu you are not. Mr.1 Szarwark: Yes they are building a new building. Ms Derbeck: Why didn't you ask for tax abatement for th t, you were only talking about the street. -17-
