South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting –May 1, 2009 <br /> <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> <br />G. Ratification of Temporary Use Agreements <br />continued… <br /> <br />located across the street at the property that is the <br />Bendix Family Physicians office. <br /> <br />Mr. Inks noted that since the property is a dirt lot, <br />the Commission would need to put crushed stone <br />down to make it more suitable for the use. The <br />cost of crushed stone would be $3,000 to $5,000. <br />The Department of Public Works would provide <br />the labor at no cost. That cost is less than the <br />$60,000 it would cost to put down top soil and <br />seeding it, plus mowing. Staff recommends <br />approving the use by Urban Garden Market and <br />putting down stone as a temporary surface. <br /> <br />Ms. Jones asked if the Commission’s other <br />demolition jobs don’t produce debris that could be <br />crushed for this use. Mr. Inks responded that staff <br />is checking into that. <br /> <br />Mr. Inks also noted that the Commission approved <br />use of a portion of the LaSalle Square property that <br />the Commission owns for a Community Garden <br />and at the same time authorized expenditure of <br />$2,000 for bringing water to the site. The contract <br />is with Sara Uzelac, the individual, not an entity. <br />Ms. Uzelac has personally covered the cost of <br />insurance as is required by our agreement, at a cost <br />of $1,600. She has asked that the Commission <br />consider picking up the monthly water charge for <br />the site. Staff has secured price estimates from the <br />Water Department and an estimate from Purdue <br />Extension for the amount of water that would be <br />needed for the plot that is tilled. The estimate for <br />water for the summer is $150-$300. The cost of <br />the water tap was only $900 instead of $2,000, so <br />the total cost to the city will be under the original <br />$2,000 that was authorized. Staff recommends <br />approving the additional expense. <br /> 10 <br /> <br />
