The declaratory resolution of the RDC was sent <br />to the St. Joseph County Area Plan Commission (APC) for an order approving the RDC's <br />action. The APC's resolution is now submitted to the South Bend City Common Council <br />for its approval. <br />There are five (5) properties (seventeen tax parcels) proposed to be added to the <br />acquisition list. The properties are all within the Coveleski Park Planning Area. <br />The first property is the Manor Building located at 118 S William St. The Manor <br />was built as a nursing home and most recently owned by the Madison Center which <br />vacated the property in summer 2008. The building is functionally challenged and <br />acquisition of the property would allow for demolition and site control and the ability to <br />remove an inconsistent land use from the William St corridor. <br />The second property, located in the Coveleski Park Housing Block, is Fred's <br />Transmission, located at 501 W Western Ave. It is anticipated that Fred's will close this <br />location, and this acquisition would allow for controlled development of this site.
