South Bend I Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meoting - April 12, 1991 <br />C'M <br />a. comzinuea... <br />we have a specific plan for what we would <br />lilm to see happen in the area and we <br />would share that with any potential <br />derelcper or investor in the area. <br />Hopefully, it spurs on the private sector <br />to do it in a way that is compatible with <br />plan; 2) the Studebaker Corridor has <br />a design review requirement that any new <br />construction or additions to properties <br />in the area have a requirement that they <br />t be approved by the design review <br />canittee in advance before getting a <br />building permit. That ensures that we <br />will get higher quality inprovements in <br />of appearance and, secondly, that <br />th is some coordination, with <br />at tion given to what is around the <br />=Pnit. <br />so that it fits in with what is <br />I the building you've bought. It's <br />a lovely building. But I think you'll be <br />the first to agree that not every <br />lding in the Studebaker Corridor looks <br />lil ze that. our concern is with the <br />bu lcb ngs that are vacant or are not in <br />th best condition. 'There is concern <br />wi h the vacant lots that are out there. <br />We re not trying to do anything to harm <br />existing business, but, frankly, to <br />st#en#hen the area around them so that <br />thore investment is protected and <br />is <br />an <br />we <br />ting to your cxmmient. Yes, this does <br />Ln that the potential for condemnation <br />there. However, there is a process <br />ore anyone is even considered for <br />pAsition. We would have to go through <br />amendment to the plan similar to this <br />xe we outline exactly which properties <br />plan to acquire. Any property owner <br />d be notified at that point and has <br />opportunity to remonstrate against <br />t. I think that's the best <br />tection. You do have to understand <br />
