The South Bend Common Council's Standing Committee Report from the <br /> Community and Economic Development Committee <br /> Humanity of St. Joseph County plans to construct two (2) houses, each with a value of$69,000. <br /> The report concluded that the petitioner meets the standards set forth in Section 2-77.1 of the <br /> South Bend Municipal Code entitled"Single Family Real Property Abatement". <br /> David Hatch of Habitat for Humanity of St. Joseph County made the presentation. He <br /> thanked the Council for their past support and urged the Committee to recommend the petition <br /> favorably to Council. <br /> Council Member Coleman made a motion, seconded by Council Member Kuspa, that <br /> Bill No. 04-113 be recommended favorably to Council. The motion passed. <br /> Council Member Kuspa then pointed out that in Bill No.04-110 in the 1st Whereas clause <br /> it incorrectly refers to"2820 Viridian Drive" and should read"225 Garst". <br /> The Council Attorney requested Mr. Schaffer to file a substitute bill incorporating that <br /> change prior to the 7 pm Council meeting. <br /> Council Member Kelly then called upon Larry Magliozzii and George Adler to provide <br /> an update on City Plan. They provided copies of the brochure entitled "Envision South Bend <br /> 2025..." (copy attached). They noted that the process is going extremely well with <br /> approximately thirty (30) "vision sessions" with about 1,000 people involved. In February of <br /> this year there were "report back meetings". City Plan is approximately 50% through the <br /> analysis stage. On November 6, 2004 the Civic Alliance Panels will meet in a retreat setting. <br /> Goals will be developed in February and March of 2005. <br /> Council Member Kelly thanked everyone for their presentations. <br /> Dr. Varner stated that he has been able to see many of the guest speaker series on public <br /> access television. <br /> There being no further business to come before the Committee, Council Member Kelly <br /> adjourned the meeting at 4:09 p.m. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Council Member Roland Kelly, Chairperson <br /> Community and Economic Development Committee <br /> KCF:kmf <br /> Attachments <br /> Community and Economic Development Committee Meeting of September 27,2004 Page 3 <br />
