South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting November 10, 2014 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />A. Public Hearings <br />(5) continued... <br />Mr. Ford: Yes. <br />Ms. Allen: One last question, because I don't want to monopolize. The new street <br />configuration on Lincolnway West with one lane each direction and a center turn lane, with <br />parallel parking on both sides, how is that parking going to work? <br />Mr. Ford: I would encourage you to go to the plan, because you'll see that it's not one -size- <br />fits -all. You are looking there at seven miles of street. The plan actually takes it block by <br />block and shows you how. Certain blocks will have parallel parking on both sides, certain <br />blocks it will be on one side. <br />Mr. Jason Pfledderer: Will this include the Old Drewerys? <br />Mr. Ford: Yes. It's anticipated it will include the old Drewerys. <br />Mr. Pfledderer: Can you show me what's going to be done there? That's the only reason <br />I'm here. <br />Mr. Ford: There's no immediate plan. If there was ever a chance that someone wanted to <br />come in and redevelop it, but for TIF I don't know how that would occur. So, we just <br />wanted to include it in case something came up in the future. <br />Mr. Pfledderer: So you have no idea. <br />Mr. Ford: No, we don't have an immediate plan for that site. No. <br />Mr. Pfledderer: Then, why do you want to include it? Can you pull up the slide so everyone <br />knows where we're talking about? This particular property has been included, but it has <br />absolutely nothing to do with any of these other areas? So, why is my property, my fourteen <br />acres, included into this? <br />Mr. Ford: Because it's a key property for a fifth of the city. It's anticipated to be a trailhead <br />for the west side. If there were to be a redevelopment opportunity for that site, TIF would <br />offer an opportunity to do fund some incentives. Right now there's no opportunity. If you <br />wanted to improve it, and sell it, and you needed some help for incentives, if you needed <br />some help for environmental remediation, because we know there's a lot of environmental <br />issues, you wouldn't have any access to do that. But now... <br />Mr. Pfledderer: That's what I wanted to know. <br />16 <br />
