Sou* Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regul r Meeting - January 18, 1980 <br />7. PROGRESS REPORTS <br />Mr. Ellison continues.... <br />I would be at that juncture that the <br />Council would give an urban development <br />area designation to a specific parcel as <br />is necessary to get the abatement. We <br />are trying to find an area where abate- <br />ments should reasonably occur, but <br />not give the abatement until the <br />secondary process, which would allow <br />tz to be assured that the abatement <br />was necessary to cause the development <br />to happen. We are doing it a different <br />way than Indianapolis, but a way that <br />w 11 allow us to use abatement as a <br />development tool and to be assured that <br />we do not grant abatement in those <br />s tuations' where it is not necessary to <br />c use a development to happen. <br />Mr. Nimtz: I might say that we have had <br />a number of inquiries from people who had <br />their buildings up and are not eligible to <br />come under this procedure. <br />. Janet Allen: I might make a suggestion <br />t you offer the parcels at $1.00 a square <br />t to the adjoining property owners in <br />LaSalle Park area. <br />Nimtz: That was our first category—that <br />try to sell it to the adjoining property <br />ner, secondly to anyone living in that <br />neral area, and then to the general <br />blic. <br />. Janet Allen: More than likely they could <br />to build on the muck land. <br />11 . Butler: The Building Department is well <br />a are of this problem and they would not <br />i sue a work permit. <br />. Jeanne Derbeck: Are the Commissioners, <br />Ellison and staff satisfied with the progress <br />date on the construction of the First Bank <br />rater? <br />. Ellison: Yes, it is visible and I believe <br />at the construction is moving along quite <br />asonably. Approximately 3% of the total <br />eject is completed. <br />-25- <br />DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING <br />PROGRESS ON CONSTRUCTION <br />OF FIRST BANK/MARRIOTT <br />HOTEL PROJECT <br />
