South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Me ting - March 20, 1981 <br />5. PUBLICIHEARING (continued) <br />Mr. Donaldson stated that if the resolution will not <br />have a y adverse affect in the future on this parti- <br />cular rarcel of land, then he could, with some reser- <br />vation go along with it. <br />Mr. Mc ahon replied to Mr. Donaldson that to his know- <br />ledge, and asked Mr. Butler for his comments as well, <br />there is absolutely nothing that is being done here <br />that would prohibit the Commission from including <br />Max's Crocery in that second action which will take <br />place in April. <br />Mr. Bu ler agreed and stated further that we will <br />make Sure that we get either the letter itself or a <br />requesi from the Department raising those issues to <br />HUD by early April so that we will have those answers. <br />Mr. McMahon agreed that it would probably be improper <br />for us to act on the bulk of that real estate without <br />coming to a final answer with respect to Max's at that <br />point and recommended that no action would be taken un- <br />til the Commission is in a position to say yes or no. <br />Mr. Do�aldson asked when the relocation is supposed to <br />start. <br />Mr. McMahon explained that it goes through the normal <br />process. Referring to the map, he indicated that in <br />the ye low area we will be able to start our offers, <br />but by the time it goes through the period that offers <br />can be made and negotiations take place, and if there <br />should be a need for condemnation and that goes through, <br />I woul expect that we would actually be anywhere from <br />two to six months from now. <br />Mr. Ci a told Mr. West that it wouldn't affect him for <br />anothe six months - until we act on the other parcels <br />over t ere. <br />Mr. West said that just from the history of the Redevelop- <br />ment D partment, if the Redevelopment Department thought <br />they c uld move in six months they would move in six months, <br />but history here alone in South Bend tells you that it <br />takes five, six, seven, eight, nine and ten years for the <br />Redevelopment Department to even act here. You can look <br />at the Merry Avenue Project and tell that, and the Penn - <br />sylvania Street Project and tell that. You cannot tell <br />us that the Commission is going to move on this in the <br />next six months and then be ready to move again six <br />25 <br />
