Dieter, Chairperson <br />Community & Economic Development Committee <br />South Bend Common Council <br />4th Floor, County City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />RE: Residential Real Property Tax Abatement Petition for: <br />COOREMAN REAL ESTATE GROUP, INC. (The Villas at Lake Blackthorn -Section II) <br />Dear Council Member Dieter: <br />Please find attached the Department of Community & Economic Development's report on a residential <br />real property tax abatement petition submitted by Cooreman Real Estate Group, Incorporated. This <br />developer intends to develop four lots remaining in Section II of The Villas at Lake Blackthorn. Also <br />attached is a copy of the petition, Statement of Benefits form, and supporting information. <br />The report contains the department's findings relative to the above petition. The petitioner proposes to <br />develop the four lots at a cost of $700,000. The developer has sold four lots under an existing tax <br />abatement. The term for that abatement will expire in July and the developer is requesting a new tax <br />abatement in order to continue offering a tax abatement as an incentive for the sale of the remaining <br />lots. The project meets the qualifications for afive-year (5) real property tax abatement. The petitioner <br />will be available to meet with the Committee on Monday, May 12, 2008. <br />Should you or any of the other Council members have any questions concerning the report, or need <br />additional information, please feel free to call me at 235-5835. <br />Sincerely, <br />~1s~ <br />Bob Mathia <br />Assistant Director, <br />Economic Development <br />Attachments <br />cc: South Bend Common Council Members <br />Mayor Stephen Luecke <br />Jeff Gibney <br />Don Inks <br />COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FINANCIAL HC PROGRAM <br />PAMELA C.
