He <br /> noted that the Petitioner proposes to build a single family <br /> home estimate& at Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50, 000.00) , and <br /> that the Petitioner is seeking a special exception pursuant <br /> to Section 2-84 of the South Bend Municipal Code. He noted <br /> that the Mayor has not endorsed this particular project or <br /> its tax abatement but believes that there's need for low and <br /> moderate income housing. <br /> Council President Luecke then provided further background <br /> information on the proposed project. He noted that it does <br /> not qualify for the residentially distressed tax abatement <br /> criteria under the State Law and therefore should be <br /> considered as a special exception. If taxes were abated for <br /> the three (3) years, the total would be Four Thousand Seven <br /> Hundred and Seventy-four Dollars ($4,774. 00) . <br />
