CITY OF SOUTH BEN <br /> Filed in C'nrk's Cffice <br /> COMM UNITY INVESTMENT --� <br /> FEB 2 2 2023 <br /> DAWN M.JONES <br /> February 22, 2023 <br /> CITY CLERK, SOUTH BEND,IN <br /> Council Member Rachel Tomas Morgan <br /> Chairperson, Community Investment Committee <br /> South Bend Common Council <br /> County City Building, 4th Floor <br /> South Bend, IN 46601 <br /> Dear Council Member Tomas Morgan, <br /> Attached please find a proposed form of resolution approving a waiver of noncompliance, <br /> pursuant to Indiana Code 6-1.1-12.1-11.3, for CBK Land Development LLC, who is the owner of <br /> real property at 5245 Dylan Drive in South Bend (Parcel number 71-03-18-330-011.000-009). <br /> CBK Land Development LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Chase Plastics, which occupies <br /> the building. Chase Plastics is requesting that the Common Council waive noncompliance with <br /> the filing deadline for tax deduction forms. In 2020 and 2021, the company filed Forms CF-1/RE <br /> and 322/RE with the City of South Bend and the County Assessor's office but inadvertently did <br /> not file the forms with the Auditor's office. <br /> As a result of this filing error, the company did not receive a tax abatement pursuant to <br /> Resolution No. 4779-19 for these years. The waiver of noncompliance to be presented to the <br /> Common Council for consideration is for two years of non-filing. <br /> The Department of Community Investment endorses and supports this waiver as the company <br /> has exceeded requirements associated with the abatement. The estimated project cost in 2019 <br /> was $3.50 million, and the company reported that the actual costs were $3.63 million. Despite <br /> challenges, including the pandemic, Chase Plastics has added one additional full-time position <br /> at the South Bend facility since completion of their project and is committed to supporting and <br /> expanding their South Bend-based workforce. <br /> We ask that the attached resolution be referred to the Community Investment Committee for an <br /> advisory recommendation and then heard at the Common Council meeting to be held on <br /> February 27, 2023. <br /> A representative from Chase Plastics will be present at the meetings. Should you require <br /> additional information, please contact me at (574) 235-5838. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> 71 <br /> Erik Glavich <br /> Director, Growth and Opportunity <br /> EXCELLENCE ACCOUNTABILITY INNOVATION INCLUSION EMPOWERMENT <br /> 14005 County-City Building 227 W.Jefferson Blvd. South Bend,Indiana 46601 p 574.235.9371 www.southbendin.gov <br />
