South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting —March 14, 2013 City of South Bend ADA Transition Plan. Funding for this project will be from the WWCDA TIF, with an estimated cost of $130,000. Implementation will be overseen by the city's Engineering Department. Mr. Varner wondered if the cost was reasonable. Mr. Relos responded that a large part of the cost is for the ADA ramps. Mr. Varner also asked if conduit was being installed at the same time. Mr. Relos responded that there will not be because the tree lawn wouldn't allow it for it. Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Mr. Alford and unanimously carved, the Commission approved Resolution No. 3123 approving and authorizing the execution of an Addendum to the Master Agency Agreement with the Board of Public Works (William Streetscape Project) D. South Side Development Area (1) Resolution No. 3125 approving and authorizing the execution of an Amendment to the Addendum to the Master Agency Agreement with the Board of Public Works (Ireland Road Right of Way Acquisition Services — Supplement #1) Mr. Schalliol noted that Resolution No. 3125 and Amendment #1 to the Addendum to Master Agency Agreement is for the Ireland Road Right Of Way Acquisition Services Project. Over the past several years, the City of South Bend has made plans to improve traffic circulation and pedestrian accessibility within the Erskine Hills Shopping District / Ireland Road Corridor. In the fall of 2012, the Commission approved the original addendum to target 5 right -of -way (ROW) acquisitions to allow for planned ROW improvements on Ireland and Miami. The ROW targets were at the intersection of Ireland and High, along the east side of Miami at the Broadmoor Plaza, and at the northwest corner of Ireland and Fellows. The first property ready to be acquired is a portion of the northwest corner of Ireland and Fellows. The acquisition of both permanent and temporary ROW allows for the following: 1. Readjustment of the Ireland Rd ROW /Property line to a point from the centerline to a point immediately adjacent to the existing sidewalk. By shifting the ROW /Property line, Ireland Road and the Ireland Road sidewalk will be located within dedicated public ROW instead of on prescriptive ROW. 2. The erection of the new signal pole within public ROW. The State of Indiana, as part of its Fellows Street improvement project south of Ireland, will be modifying the intersection to move and replace the signal pole. 3. The city's proposed improvements on Fellows Street north of the intersection. The cost of the final settlement with the property owner of 411 E Ireland is $17,236.00 for the purchase of all permanent and temporary ROW. A copy of the purchase documentation is attached as Exhibit C in the Amendment document. 7
