South Bend redevelopment Commission <br />Rescheduled Regular Meeting - August 28, 1981 <br />7. NEW BUSINESS <br />a. Commission consideration <br />ment request relative to <br />to as 121 -127 North St. <br />requested for a tax abate- <br />an Area commonly referred <br />eter Street (ROmaha Primus <br />Mr. McMahon stated that the petitioner is Dr. Romana <br />Pri us. Her husband, Mr. Charles Primus, is here <br />thi morning representing her. <br />Mr. Butler commented that he represented Dr. Primus <br />in er application and issuance of the Economic De- <br />vel pment Bonds, but had nothing to do with the <br />aba ement. <br />Mr. McMahon stated that the staff reviewed the peti- <br />tior in conjunction with statutes that are appli- <br />cable. Based on our investigation the area in <br />que tion has not become undesirable for or impossible <br />for normal development, has not experienced a cessa- <br />tior of growth, deterioration of improvements or <br />character of occupancy, age, obsolescence, substandard <br />buildings, and other factors which have impaired values <br />and prevent a normal development of the property or <br />pro erty use. <br />The neighborhood is not blighted, and the site is <br />easily accessible from a major street (Colfax Ave- <br />nue ) and to St. Joseph's Medical Center. It is im- <br />possible to assess the condition of the houses that <br />previously occupied the site. Adjacent properties <br />are generally in good repair and the neighborhood is <br />regarded as stable. The proximity to the hospital <br />makes it an ideal location for a doctor's office, <br />or some other medical related office use. The <br />existence of six other similar offices within two <br />blocks, all of which were established without tax <br />aba ement, serve as evidence that this area does not <br />possess factors which make this type of development <br />and sirable through normal development processes. <br />In recent months, through the Common Council, we <br />identified certain areas as tax abatement impact <br />areas. They are generally areas that, due to the <br />nature of various things that affect them, have not <br />seen growth in any amount or any significant amount <br />in many years. The area we are discussing this <br />morning has not qualified in that manner and our <br />review was from the standpoint of doing the tax <br />abatement in order to see a doctor's office happen <br />in that area. The staff; recommendation to the <br />Commission is that the area does not qualify. <br />6 <br />
