South Bend ]Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Mee ing - October 26, 1990 <br />6. NEW BUSMFSS (Cont.) <br />a. continued... <br />Ms. Kolata said that our concept for the <br />arat has not changed. When we adopted <br />the official redevelopment plan no <br />properties were scheduled for acquisition <br />in the official plan as it was originally <br />adopted. That was back several years ago. <br />Them we came fon4ar. in July and approved <br />a resolution that added approximately 30 <br />p ies to the acquisition list. What <br />this resolution is doing is amending the <br />pl by adding additional properties to <br />the list. The concept of the plan has <br />never changed. The concept of the plan <br />has always been to clear out the <br />bli ting and unrelated use properties. <br />For example, the residential properties <br />and the vacant lots. A lot of the <br />discmssion today is focused around the <br />parlang lots and storage yards. We are <br />proposing to clean out and remove the <br />properties that have not been utilized to <br />their fullest. Whether or not a <br />construction yawl is a utilization to the <br />fullest is something that the Commission <br />is croirxj to discuss. There are merits to <br />the arguments presented both today and in <br />the past. We are not trying to do harm <br />to any existing business in the <br />co idor. What we are trying to do is <br />rexKve those properties that are not <br />coiqatible or not in good condition and <br />then to make that land available for new <br />ial and light industrial <br />I <br />J <br />nk the Commission and the staff <br />I be very willing to discuss, on an <br />Idual basis, each of the <br />instances that are being brought up <br />Generally our purpose is to create <br />and provide land for development. <br />-21- <br />
