South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting –March 6, 2009 <br /> <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> <br />C. South Bend Central Development Area <br /> <br />(3) continued… <br /> <br />the block for the purpose of constructing the <br />new South Bend Community School <br />Corporation office which ultimately located <br />elsewhere. No new development has <br />occurred in the block for many years. With <br />ownership changes for the McNease property <br />and Inwoods property, the opportunity has <br />presented itself to replat the block in <br />cooperation with the two other property <br />owners on the block. The Commission owns <br />nine parcels, largely under a parking lot. The <br />owners of the property on which the <br />Bankruptcy Court is located own five <br />parcels. The remaining property owner also <br />owns five parcels. A new property plat has <br />been prepared for the block resulting in three <br />parcels, each owned by a different owner. <br />This replat will resolve longstanding <br />ownership issues and allow for the marketing <br />of a development site. Staff requests the <br />Commission authorize Donald Inks, <br />Redevelopment Director, to sign the final <br />plat and allow staff to finalize this <br />transaction. <br /> <br />Ms. Jones asked about the division of land. <br />Mr. Schalliol responded that the Bankruptcy <br />Court will get a little more land, including <br />some in the right-of-way in front of their <br />building, the owner of Inwoods/McNease <br />property will get a little more land, and the <br />Commission will lose a little, but nothing <br />significant. The additional land provided to <br />the Bankruptcy Court will allow them to <br />make security improvements around their <br />building and remain in the downtown. The <br /> 4 <br /> <br />
