South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting - October 17, 1997 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />c. continued.... <br />Mike Beitzinger gave the staff report. <br />South Bend Heritage Foundation, in <br />conjunction with Logan Inc., is proposing to <br />build and manage six duplexes (a total of <br />twelve units) on Spruce Street south of West <br />Colfax Avenue. Three of the duplexes will <br />face to the east side of Spruce Street, while <br />the other three duplexes will face to the west <br />of Spruce street. This site was selected <br />because of its proximity to stable <br />neighborhoods, its closeness to public <br />transportation, and availability of vacant <br />land. The duplexes will be two story with <br />one unit downstairs and one unit upstairs. <br />Three of the duplexes (six units) will have <br />three bedrooms and the other three duplexes <br />(six units) will have two bedrooms — serving <br />30 adults. Each unit will be fully equipped <br />with a stove, dishwasher, refrigerator and <br />garbage disposal. Other furnishings will be <br />the responsibility of the tenants. The total <br />estimated cost of the buildings is $1,260,000. <br />In support of this petition for tax abatement, <br />South Bend Heritage Foundation notes that <br />there is a need in our community to provide <br />alternative living opportunities for low <br />income, developmentally disabled adults, <br />particularly those who live at home with <br />aging parents. South Bend Heritage <br />Foundation would develop and own the six <br />duplexes and manage the property after <br />completion of the project. Logan, Inc. will <br />refer their clients, who are capable of semi - <br />independent living, to lease space in each <br />H:\ HOME\ CPHIPPS \WPDATA \COMMSN\101797.MIN -13- <br />• <br />
