South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting — October 11, 2012 6. NEW BUSINESS A. South Bend Central Development Area (3) continued... Notice of Intended Disposition of Property with publication dates of October.1,9.and October 26, 2012 and Receipt of Bids at 9:00 a.m., November 8, 2012. (10 former HDC properties in Monroe Park) (4) Update on Redevelopment Commission owned property in the South Bend Central Development Area. Mr. Inks noted that Commissioners received this morning a map of sites the Commission owns in the downtown and a list that corresponds to it. Staff intends to more proactively market the properties that are owned by the Commission. The map identifies the Commission owned properties that are not for sale. There are very few of those, including the Moms Performing Arts Center, Palais Royale, the St. Joseph/Wayne Street parking garage, Century Center and a small lot at the edge of Monroe Park with a monument sign for the neighborhood. There are a couple of properties for which the Commission has temporary ownership that will eventually revert to the businesses located there: I" Source/Doubletree ground lease and KeyBank Plaza. There are also several parcels we would hope to transfer to other city departments. In some cases those might be right -of -way like Woodward Ct; in other cases it might be park space. The remaining sites are developable. Most of those are congregated around Coveleski Stadium. Staff will begin the disposition process on all of those properties: getting appraisals, title searches, surveys, and putting them out for bid. If there are no bids, staff will list the properties with local realtors. Mr. Davis asked about a property such as Fat Daddys where demolition is not an option due to its historic value. Mr. Inks responded that disposition of that property will be a process that must be worked through. We can put together information on what it would take to renovate the structures, the cost to demolish the structures, alternatives to save the fagade of the structures.
