South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting -September 18, 2009 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />B. South Bend Central Development Area <br />(1) continued... <br />and other related project coordination. As <br />the majority of the site area around the <br />ballpark has been cleared and prepared for <br />development, it is now time to begin the next <br />phases of the Coveleski Park project. Staff is <br />cun•ently working on the relocation plan for <br />the Sons of Israel synagogue and beginning <br />discussions with property owners recently <br />added to the SBCDA acquisition list. <br />Another key step, as it relates to the <br />development efforts in the Coveleski Park <br />project area, is to begin work on the main <br />park block (bounded by Western, Lafayette, <br />South and Taylor) and begin to develop a <br />plan to invest in the efforts that will allow the <br />block to serve as the synergistic hub for the <br />development activities in the project area. <br />To that end, staff presents an addendum to <br />agreement between the City of South Bend <br />and Populous, Inc. (formerly HOK Sport) to <br />provided updated planning and design <br />services for the Coveleski Park project area. <br />Under the Addendum to Agreement <br />Pupulous will refine concepts for the main <br />park block and develop a work scope for <br />items that will be proposed for construction <br />and development as part of the Phase 1 plan <br />for the area. The plan will also merge <br />together the three separate plans <br />(Neighborhood, Ballpark and Facility). It <br />will also finalize the ballpark boundaries, <br />establish a plan for the land areas around the <br />park and develop a design concept for the <br />entry connection feature into the ballpark <br />
