RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND,
INDIANA,PUBLICLY COMMENDING AND HONORING THE 7TH GRADE STUDENTS OF
NAVARRRE INTERMEDIATE CENTER ON A SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN TO ADVANCE
EQUALITY AND PROMOTE HEALTHY FOOD OPTIONS FOR ALL STUDENTS IN
THE SOUTH BEND COMMUNITY SCHOOL CORPORATION
Whereas,the Common Council proudly recognizes the Navarre Intermediate Center 7"grade student body for a successful
campaign to advance equality and ensure that school lunches provide healthy food choices to all students throughout the
South Bend Community School Corporation.
Whereas,America lives its values of"justice for all"through the ongoing struggle for equality,"Separate but
equal"was the law in the United States in which facilities and services such as housing,medical care,education,
employment,and transportation could be segregated by race as long as these were equal.However,separate facilities
provided to African Americans were rarely equal or did not exist at all;and
Whereas, last week,we celebrated the 63'anniversary of Brown v.Board of Education,the landmark Supreme
Court case which declared that separate public schools for black and white students are unconstitutional,and yet we know
that racism and discrimination still exists in our schools today;our challenge is to recognize,resist,and reform the subtle
and sometimes not so subtle manifestations of inequity;and
Whereas,the demographics of schools in South Bend show de facto segregation-students of color make up 69%of the
South Bend Community School Corporation,but 95%of the students at Navarre are children of color;and
Whereas,national data indicates that schools with a student population of predominately children of color operate with
fewer resources limiting the students'access to educational opportunities including healthy food choices in school
lunches;and
Whereas,Navarre Intennediate 7°i grade students learned about peaceful protests in the Civil Rights Movement and were
inspired to apply what they learned by taking action to advance equality in their own lives.Recognizing good nutrition as
important for physical and mental development,they organized to get a salad bar and a fruit bar which was provided in
other schools as part of their lunch options;and
Whereas,like most children attending schools in low income neighborhoods,many Navarre students live in a"food
desert" where children don't have access to fresh produce and depend on healthy food choices being offered at the
schools;and
Whereas,progress doesn't come without struggle,Navarre 71 grade students worked together to analyze and overcome
barriers and when met with resistance of bureaucracy and red tape with the help of some of their teachers,now the entire
school enjoys the benefit of fresh produce as part of their daily meal.
Now,therefore,be it resolved,by the Common Council of the City of South Bend,Indiana,as follows:
Section 1.The Common Council of the City of South Bend,Indiana,publicly honors and congratulates the Navarre
Intennediate Center 7°i grade student body for a successful campaign to advance equality and ensure that school lunches
provide healthy food choices to all students throughout the South Bend Community School Corporation.We look forward
to these students being the leaders of tomorrow to ensure diversity&inclusion;model for city leaders,educators,and all
adults in South Bend
Section II.This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its adoption by the Council and approval
by the Mayor.

Location: 1237 & 1303 N. Ironwood Drive
'j FOWLER
Jurisdiction: City of South Bend CITY CLERK,SOUTH BEND,IN
Public Hearing Date: 5/16/2017
Requested Action:
The petitioner is requesting a zone change from SF I Single Family & Two Family District
to SF2 Single Family&Two Family District and seeking 3 variances from the
development standards.
Land Uses and Zoning:
On site: On site is a church and a single family home.
North: To the north is a single-family home zoned SF 1 Single Family&Two
Family District and an office zoned O/B Office Buffer District.
East: To the east,across Ironwood,are single-family homes zoned SF I Single
Family&Two Family District.
South: To the south are single-family homes zoned SF Single Family&Two
Family District.
West: To the west,across Rosemary,are single family homes zoned SF 1 Single
Family&Two Family District.
District Uses and Development Standards:
The SF2 District is established to protect, promote and maintain the development of single
family dwellings and two family dwellings in the urban core of the City of South Bend as
well as to provide for limited public and institutional uses that are compatible with an
urban residential neighborhood. The availability of public facilities(e.g., public water,
public sanitary sewer, storm sewer,natural gas,electricity,telephone,etc.) is required for
development within this district.
Site Plan Description:
The proposed site plan includes a 22 lot single family residential subdivision. The
development includes a basic footprint for homes of approximately 1,800 square feet.The
proposed 1.5 story homes would utilize reduced setbacks on one side in order to provide a
wider side entrance on one side of the building. Each home will include a two-car garage.
Zoning and Land Use History And Trends:
In 2005. the southwest corner of Edison and Ironwood was rezoned to LB Local Business
to accommodate a Walgreen's. In 2016,the property to the north was rezoned to OB Office
Buffer District for an insurance office.
Traffic and Transportation Considerations:
Ironwood Drive has two lanes with room for on-street parking. Rosemary Lane has two
lanes.
Utilities:
The site will be served by municipal water and sewer.

Agency Comments:
The Department of Community Investment offers a favorable recommendation on
rezoning to SF2 and the associated variances,subject to the following suggestions: 1)The
homes should be designed to include a front door look, especially along the Ironwood and
Rosemary street frontages. A door should face the street and have a connecting service
walk to the City sidewalk. Inclusion of a porch would be appropriate. Quality building
design and materials should be used throughout the project;2)The mature trees,
throughout the site and particularly along its west edge, should be preserved to the greatest
extent possible; 3) While the project could be developed more densely, especially along
Ironwood,the proposal for the patio homes is fair in keeping with the neighborhood
context.
The City Engineer commented that the Department of Public Works recommends approval
subject to completion of a utility verification form; approval of sidewalk, curb cut, lighting
and overall site improvement to reflect the Master Plan for the surrounding area; approval
of a draining plan; and verification of required (if any)waivers. They suggested
investigating the potential to relocated the western approach to the south.
Commitments:
The petitioner is not proposing any written commitments.
Criteria to be considered in reviewing rezoning requests, per IC 36-7-4-603:
I. Comprehensive Plan:
Policy Plan:
The petition is consistent with City Plan, South Bend Comprehensive Plan(November
2006)Objective H 1: Ensure that an adequate supply of housing is available to meet the
needs, preferences,and financial capabilities of households now and in the future;and
Objective H 4: Ensure well-designed, infill housing on vacant land in the city's
neighborhoods.
Land Use Plan:
The future land use map identifies this area as low density residential.
Plan Implementation/Other Plans:
There are no other plans in effect for this area.
2. Current Conditions and Character:
The area is predominately single family residential with some offices to the north, which
serve as a transition to the commercial node at the intersection of Ironwood and Edison.
3. Most Desirable Use:
The most desirable use for the land is one that is compatible with the single family
neighborhood.
4. Conservation of Property Values:
The development of single family homes should not impact the use or value of the
adjacent properties.
5. Responsible Development And Growth:
It is responsible development and growth to allow for the development of inf ll hOUSing in
APC# 2816-17 --
Page 2 of 3

Staff Report 5/4/2017
an established residential area.
Combined Public Hearing
This is a combined public hearing procedure,which includes a rezoning and 3 variances from
the development standards. The Commission will forward the rezoning to the Council with or
without a recommendation and either approve or deny the variances.
The petitioner is seeking the following variance(s):
1) from the required minimum 25' lot frontage to no frontage for Lots 4-22
2) from the required minimum 5' side yard to 0'for all lots
3) from the required minimum 20' rear yard to 9'for Lot 4
State statutes and the Zoning Ordinance require that certain standards must be met
before a variance can be approved. The standards and their justifications are as follows:
(1)The approval will not be injurious to the public health,safety, morals and general
welfare of the community;
The proposed development will front on a private street and should not impact the public
health, safety,or general welfare of the community.
(2)The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance
will not be affected in a substantially adverse manner;
The proposed single family development should not have an adverse impact on the
residential neighborhood in which it is located.
(3)The strict application of the terms of this Chapter would result in practical
difficulties in the use of the property
The strict application of the ordinance would create oversized residential lots which may
be difficult to maintain. Allowing the use of a private drive will allow for infill housing
that will promote the vitality of the residential neighborhood. The reduced setbacks will
allow the homes to be located on the lot in a manner that offers each home a larger, usable
outdoor space.
Staff Comments:
The staff has no additional comments.
Recommendation:
Based on information available prior to the public hearing, the staff recommends the
rezoning petition be sent to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation. Staff
recommends approval of the variances.
Analysis:
Rezoning the property to SF2 Single Family&Two Family District will allow for infill
housing on a large residential lot in which services are already available. The urban
residential lots will offer a variety of housing options compatible with the neighborhood.

Re.Community meeting
There were many not at the meeting last night- What I have heard is"why bother,
the council will just do what's best for the city,not us'. All those not at the meeting
did not get a copy of the survey, I will copy and take some to those I know who were
not there. The survey,at least,will show what our concerns are.
I am still concerned about the increase in traffic on Rosemary.
We will have a construction area and much blowing dirt(it has been very windy)for
a long time,maybe 2 years or more.
Where will they put the snow from the drives and the street?
These patio homes will not fit in with the present homes in neighborhood.
There will be no restriction on the selling so it can very easily become student
housing. We are not an extension of ND,but our own neighborhood. We already
have many student rentals in neighborhood,probably more to come as houses are
sold. Some of the students are responsible,many are not. Loud parties are the
norm.
Seems like the area could be put to better use for something that would frt in better
and be less disruptive to the neighborhood.
Once this rezoning is done,it leads the way for someone to be able to buy 2 or 3
homes and put up more town tomes or patio homes. I would like to know what the
variances are that make it necessary to rezone this property.

ECHO'S/Proposed development project meeting 0412712017
KAREEMAH FOWLER
Hello CITY CLERK,SOUTH BEND,IN
I attended the meeting between the Matthew's develelopent company and the Rosemary
Dorwood neighborhood group last night 04/27/2017, about their proposed ECHO'S
development in our neighborhood
The Mathew's spokesman displayed a most deficient ,deceitful, and uninformed question
and a (very little answer) session I have ever witnessed.
He was dismissive on most account,to intelligent questions,and issues on his own
project,that people inquired about .
Example: Maththew s"We had to get three variances " .He only explained one and said"
I don't know what the other two are" when asked about the other two. A person would
ask a question and he said he did not know and then would say "next question?"
without answering anything. This was the basis of answers the group received
throughout the entire discussion
He answered maybe 25% of the questions asked, and said he did not know on the rest of
the issues .
He was dishonest on his answer about his target customers He stated that they would
be sold to people 55 years of age and up . When asked of the age of the people who
would actually live there , he did not answer .
We know that he is trying to stuff his pockets with money of Notre Dame parents from
Pennsylvania New York ,Connecticut ,Chicago, and so on.
Their updated ,downsized and over priced plan from the original invading plan, although
better than the original proposal,still does not fit with our existing neighborhood
architecture at all.
He said the construction was going to built as houses were being sold not completed in
full, just a few at a time depending on sales.
He brushed over concerns of utility sewer , ad water supply effects that are important
issues. He unanswered a lot of questions and people were shaking their heads at this.
What an idiot......continued

�:otISSION
If the Area planning commission grants the Echo's development , you are ignoring the
interest ,concerns and livelihood of the people who actually live here and catering to the
greed of the dishonest Matthew's development company who do not live in this
neighborhood. They are going to benefit at our dismay
Allowing this develop ment,only increases the onslaught of these types of developments
in our neighborhood . If allowed this will allow the same type of development(s) to be
constructed on Edison Rd., which will undoubtedly cause the eventual eminent domain
issues causing people on Edison ,Oak Park Dr.,and Hartman Dr. to forced out of their
homes ,being that they are smaller homes. People in these home cannot afford to be
kicked out on the street by some developer that lives in Granger to profit from rich
people that live out of state
Allowing office buildings similar to the dental offices on Edison and Ironwood that
already would be acceptable or building 6 houses that are in conformance to thole
existing architecture could be considered possible too This was brought up at the
meeting . A person stated that there are only 8 houses per side on Hartman Dr, "why
can't you emulate the existing",that question was ignored and dismissed. The guy from
Matthews conducting the meeting, was acting quite ignorant (to ignore)
The Area Planning Commission needs to deny in full this development . By allowing
it, you will prove that your are not concerned with what is best for the citizens of South
Bend,or what they deem important,and only supporting the greed of the developers in
this matter.
WE HAVE STATED THAT WE DO NOT WANT THIS AT ALL, AND SHOULD
NOT HAVE TO FIGHT AGAINST IT.
THIS DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT FIT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND WE ARE
NOT CONCERNED WITH MATHEW'S GREED ,INVADING OUR
NEIGHBORHOOD, PERIOD., SO DO US A FAVOR,THE CITIZENS OF THIS
CITY YOU REPRESENT . TELL THEM NO
Thank you
More than concerned citizen

capabilities of households now and in the future
• H-4: Ensure well-designed, infill housing on vacant land in the City's
neighborhoods
• National League of Cities; Sustainable Cities Institute:
Urban Infill is gaining in popularity as intown or close-in
locations become more attractive to prospective home buyers, and
office and retail tenants. Municipalities are also encouraging the
practice of Infill as it is more efficient to use existing infrastructure
and services than it is to extend infrastructure and services farther
afield, Infill development can also help community achieve or
sustain thresholds of population, and affordable housing.
• Most desirable use for the land is one that is compatible with the single-
family neighborhood
• Conservation of Property Values: Staff determined the development
should not impact the use or value of adjacent properties
• Staff noted development of infill housing is reasonable development and

Honorable Members of the City of March 27,2017
South Bend Common Council
4th Floor County-City Building
South Bend, Indiana 46601
RE: Rezoning Petition for vacant land Northeast of Ireland Rd.and Lafayette Blvd.
South Bend, Indiana 46614
Dear Council Members:
Our clients are requesting the approval of a Rezoning Petition for the properties located north along Ireland
Road between Lafayette Blvd. and Main Street. This requested Rezoning would allow for the approval of a
financial services/bank facility to be built on Parcel "A" shown on the attached site plan. Parcel "B" as shown,
will allow for future commercial development. This property is located at the intersection of two busy
commercial corridors, Ireland Road and Main Street.
Our clients believe the proposed commercial zoning for this property would be compatible with the

DESIGNED TO FACILITATE HIGH INTENSITY USES SUCH AS FAST-FOOD RESTAURANTS. THE ORDINANCE DOES
NOT IDENTIFY SEPARATE VEHICULAR STACKING REQUIREMENTS FOR LOW INTENSITY DRIVE-UP USES SUCH AS
BANKING. FURTHERMORE, MANY FINANCIAL AND BANKING TRANSACTIONS OCCUR DIGITALLY OR OVER THE
INTERNET. THE NEED FOR PERSON TO PERSON BANKING HAS DECREASE OVER THE YEARS ALONG WITH THE
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL PARKING AT THESE FACILITIES. THE PROPOSED PARKING IS SUFFICIENT TO MEET THE
NEEDS OF SUCH USE.

KAREEMAH FOWLER
APC# 2821-17 CITY CLERK,SOUTH BEND,IN
Owner: Gates&Gates Realty, LLC
Location: north of Ireland road between Lafayette Boulevard and Main Street
Jurisdiction: City of South Bend
Public Hearing Date: 5/16/2017
Requested Action:
The petitioner is requesting a zone change from SF2 Single Family and Two Family
District to CB Community Business District and seeking 2 variances from the
development standards.
Land Uses and Zoning:
On site: On site are two vacant lots
North: To the north is a single family residence,zoned SF2 Single Family&Two
Family District.
East: To the east across Main Street is an office complex,zoned CB Community
Business District
South: To the south across Ireland Road are retail establishments,zoned CB
Community Business District
West: To the west across Lafayette are retail establishments,zoned CB
Community Business District
District Uses and Development Standards:
The CB-Community Business District is established to provide a location for high
volume and high intensity commercial uses. Activities in this district are often large space
users which may include limited amounts of outdoor sales or outdoor operations.
Developments within the CB District shall be coordinated to facilitate vehicular and
pedestrian access from nearby residential districts.
Site Plan Description:
The 3.2 acre acre site is proposed to be divided into 2 development sites. Parcel A is 1.66
acres.The proposed plan for this site includes a 7,616 square foot bank with 3 drive
through lanes. The preliminary site plan meets the requirements for all landscaping per the
Ordinance. Parcel B is 1.52 acres. This site is reserved for future development with no
specific site plan submitted at this time. That site will need to meet all the development
standards for the CB Community Business District.
Zoning and Land Use History And Trends:
This site is part of the vacated single family residential area that remains after the
realignment of Main and Lafayette.
Traffic and Transportation Considerations:
Ireland Road has 4 lanes with a divided median. Lafayette has 2 lanes plus a center turn
lane. Main has 2 lanes.
APC 4 2821-17 Page I of 3
Staff Report 5/4/2017
Utilities:
The site will be served by municipal water and sewer.
Agency Comments:
Community Investment offers a favorable recommendation. The rezoning is consistent
with the regional commercial node shown around Michigan Street and Ireland Road on the
City Plan Future Land Use Map and with surrounding commercial land uses. DCI
encourages the petitioner to use architecture. building finishes, and landscaping in excess
of that required by the zoning ordinance. The proposed bank property should share access
and connections with the future eastern development parcel.
The Department of Public Works comments with items required prior to approval of any
building permits: Completion of City of South Bend Utility Verification Form; Approval
of sidewalk, curb cut, lighting, and overall site improvement to reflect the Master Plan for
the surrounding area. Confirm with the City the location of utilities on the final site plan.
Sidewalk will need to be placed along Ireland Road to the Eastern boundary of the
property. Development of the site requires City approval of a Drainage Plan, and payment
of the corresponding Drainage Review Fee, that meets the City's requirement to store all
runoff from developed areas on site; Verification of required (if any) waivers; Payment of
Final Site Plan Review fee.
Commitments:
The petition is not proposing any written commitments.
Criteria to be considered in reviewing rezoning requests, per IC 36-7-4-603:
1. Comprehensive Plan:
Policy Plan:
The petition is consistent with City Plan, South Bend Comprehensive Plan (November
2006) Policy ED 1.2 Encourage reuse of abandoned and underutilized land and structures.
Land Use Plan:
The future land use map identifies this area as commercial office and retail use.
Plan Implementation/Other Plans:
There are no other plans in effect for this area.
2. Current Conditions and Character:
The site is located in a regional commercial node near the intersection of Ireland Road and
Michigan Street(SR 31). Adjacent to the CB Community Business District along Ireland
Road
3. Most Desirable Use:
The most desirable use for the land is one that allows for redevelopment of these sites with
minimal impact on the adjacent Community Business District.
4. Conservation of Property Values:
The site is located in a commercial area. Adjacent property values should not be adversely
impacted.
APC # 2821-17 Page 2 of 3
Staff Repgrt 5/4/2017
5. Responsible Development And Growth:
It is responsible development and growth to allow for the vacant lots to be rezoned for
Community Business in an area primarily comprised of similar commercial developments.
Combined Public Hearing
This is a combined public hearing procedure,which includes a rezoning and 2 variances from
the development standards. The Commission will forward the rezoning to the Council with or
without a recommendation and either approve or deny the variances.
The petitioner is seeking the following variance(s):
1)From the minimum of five waiting spaces prior to the first occurance of any ordering,
pick-up or service facility
2) From the minimum 41 required off-street parking spaces to 34
(1)The approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general
welfare of the community;
The proposed development variances should have no impact on the public health, safety,
and general welfare of the community
(2)The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the-,ariance
will not be affected in a substantially adverse manner;
The use and value of adjacent properties should not be adversly affected by the requested
variances. The development of this site adequately accomodates parking and stacking
commonly associated with developments of this type.
(3)The strict application of the terms of this Chapter would result in practical
difficulties in the use of the property
The strict application of the terms of this Chapter would require parking spaces based on a
calculation for square footage of the building which requires more than is practically
necessary. It is the staffs opinion that the proposed placement of the drive up lanes,
parking area, and building, areas are optimized for this site.
Staff Comments:
The staff has no additional comments.
Recommendation:
Based on information available prior to the public hearing the staff recommends the
rezoning petition be sent to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation. The
staff recommends approval of the variances.
Analysis:
Rezoning this site from to CB Community Business will allow for the expansion of an
existing commercial district established in a commercial node located adjacent to the
intersection of Michigan(SR 3 1)and Ireland Road.

Northwest Corner of Howard Street and Eddy Street including Excess Right-of-Way from Former Howard Street
Alignment (Preliminary Review)
Dear Mr.Halsey:
The Board of Public Works, at its February 14,2017,meeting,reviewed comments by the Engineering Division, Area
Plan Commission, Community Investment, Fire Department, Police Department, and the Solid Waste Division. The
following comments and recommendations were submitted:
Area Plan stated, per 1C 36-7-3-13, the vacation would not hinder the growth or orderly development of the unit or
neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous.The vacation would not make access to the lands of the
aggrieved person by means of public way difficult or inconvenient. The vacation would not hinder the public's access to
a church,school or other public building or place. The vacation would not hinder the use of a public right of way by the
neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous.
Therefore, the Board of Public Works submitted a favorable recommendation for the vacation of this alley subject to
utility easements for existing water and sewer mains.
Please contact Donna Hanson at(574)235-9254 prior to picking up your radius may. You will need a radius map
showing properties within 150'of the proposed vacation for your petition to the Common Council. Once you pick up the
radius map,proceed to the City Clerk's office for your alley vacation packet.
Sincerely,
Li� .Martin,Clerk

A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SOUTH BEND,INDIANA,SUPPORTING THE CITY ADMINISTRATION'S
ALTERNATIVE COST SAVINGS APPROACH TO ITS CSO LONG TERM CONTROL
PLAN AND ENCOURAGING THE FEDERAL AND STATE ENVIRONMENTAL
REGULATORY AGENCIES TO ADOPT THIS INNOVATIVE PLAN
I
i
i
i
WHEREAS, the City of South Bend has been a leader in seeking ways to maintain a
clean and safe St. Joseph River, having been the first Indiana city on the St. Joseph River to I
construct a wastewater treatment plant, and prior to 2011 it had invested over one hundred
million dollars ($100,000,000) into upgrades and improvements of its sewage system to enhance
environmental protection; and
WHEREAS, in December 2011, the City of South Bend enacted a 20 year CSO Long
Term Control Plan(CSO Plan)to reduce combined sewer overflows (LSO's) into the St. Joseph
River to ensure compliance with the federal Clean Water Act, which CSO Plan was incorporated
into a Consent Decree filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of
Indiana; and
WHEREAS, the City's original CSO Plan required a massive new investment by the City
to reduce down to four (4) the number of annual events of CSO excess sewer discharge into the €
St. Joseph River; the expectation of the remedial cost was approximately five hundred million a
dollars ($500,000,000) to be paid through a series of sewer rate increases born by customers of
the City sewer utility, most of whom are individuals and families, of which about $149 million
has been paid to date; and
WHEREAS, today the estimated cost of the City's original five hundred million CSO
Plan is around eight hundred sixty-one million dollars ($861,000,000); and
i'
WHEREAS, The South Bend Common Council, as the City's fiscal agent, pursuant to
Ind. Code 8-22-1-8, is concerned with cost as well as operational efficiency of City programs;
and
WHEREAS, at the time of its enactment, the City's CSO Plan incorporated novel, state e
of the art technology and was based upon then existing knowledge, solutions, and treatment e
S
techniques; and
WHEREAS, in the years since 2011, the City has had the benefit of the wireless sensor
and smart valve technology used in the original Long Term Control Plan, almost unique in the
world, which has provided real time, highly reliable data to identify actual needs and points of
weakness in the system, and the City has also had the benefit of a comprehensive study of its i
sewer treatment system;and
6
WHEREAS, the City, through the cooperation of the Administration, the Common
Council, and certain interested, knowledgeable community members, and based on its
exhaustive, data-driven studies in the past few years, has formulated a new and accurate system
and program to control its CSO discharges which reduces substantially the estimated cost of
meeting the CSO curtailment objective than either the original or current projected costs of the
2011 CSO Plan, and which if adopted and approved by federal and state environmental
regulatory agencies, will greatly reduce the cost burden on City utility rate payers, many of
whom are financially disadvantaged; and
WHEREAS, on May 8, 2017 the City Administration presented to the Common Council
and to the public the highlights and general description of its new CSO Plan at the Council's
Utilities Committee meeting; and
WHEREAS,the South Bend Common Council highly supports the City Administration's
program presented on May 8,2017 as a quality solution to the CSO issue facing South Bend as a
city on the St. Joseph River resulting from the City's cooperative efforts, and it encourages the
United States Environmental Protection Agency, the Indiana Department of Environmental
Management, and any other regulatory body to adopt the City's innovative Plan as a cost
efficient, environmentally effective approach, and grant due modification to the pending Consent
Decree.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA,AS FOLLOWS:
Section I. The Common Council hereby states that it highly supports the City
administration's approach to finding a quality solution to the CSO issue facing South Bend as a
city on the St. Joseph River.
Section II. The Common Council hereby states that it encourages the United States
Environmental Protection Agency, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, and
any other regulatory body to adopt the City's innovative Plan as a cost efficient, environmentally
effective approach and grant due modification to the pending Consent Decree.
Section III. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its adoption
by the Common Council.

RE: Economic Development Revenue Bonds 2017 (Studebaker Project)
Dear President Scott:
Attached for the Common Council's consideration is an Ordinance that approves the issuance of
Economic Development Revenue Bonds(Bonds)to support fagade improvements to the former
Studebaker Building 84.
As you may know, in October 2012 the Redevelopment Commission approved a Development
Agreement with Union Station Properties, LP, committing$3,500,000 in funding from the River
West Development Area for building stabilization and fagade improvements to Building 84,the
remaining Studebaker campus manufacturing facility.
In 2016 the Renaissance District(District),which includes Building 84, was awarded a Regional
Cities grant of$3,500,000. The issuance of these Bonds will allow all funding sources to be
pooled together and enable the fagade transformation of this six story, 100,000 square foot
building overlooking the City's downtown.
Thank you for your consideration. 1,along with Shawn Peterson and Lisa Lee representing the
District,will attend the Community Investment Committee and Council meetings on June 12,
2017 to address any questions.
Sincerely,

other funds or assets of the Issuer. The Issuer bears no responsibility with respect to the payment

or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof, but are a special limited obligation of

the taxing power of the Issuer, the State of Indiana or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof is pledged to the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, and interest

or premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds. The Issuer has no taxing power with respect to
the Bonds. No covenant or agreement contained in the Bonds or this Indenture shall be deemed
to be a covenant or agreement of the Redevelopment Commission, the Commission,the Issuer or
of any member, director, officer, agent, attorney or employee of the Redevelopment
Commission, the Commission or the Issuer in his or her individual capacity, and neither the
Redevelopment Commission, the Commission, the Issuer nor any member, director, officer,

set forth; that all action on its part for the issuance of the Bonds and the execution and delivery

(c) If the principal of all the Bonds shall have been declared due and payable, and if
such declaration shall thereafter have been rescinded and annulled under the provisions of this
Article then, subject to the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section in the event that the
principal of all the Bonds shall later become due or be declared due and payable, the moneys
shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of subsection(a)of this Section.
Whenever moneys are to be applied pursuant to the provisions of this Section, such
moneys shall be applied at such times, and from time to time, as the Trustee shall determine,
having due regard to the amount of such moneys available for application and the likelihood of
additional moneys becoming available for such application in the future. Whenever the Trustee
shall apply such funds, it shall fix the date(which shall be an interest payment date unless it shall
deem another date more suitable) upon which such application is to be made. The Trustee shall
give such notice as it may deem appropriate of the deposit with it of any such moneys and of the
fixing of any such date and shall not be required to make payment to the holder of any Bond
until such Bond shall be presented to the Trustee for appropriate endorsement or for cancellation
if fully paid.

proof of claims) under this Indenture or under any of the Bonds may be enforced by the Trustee
without the possession of any of the Bonds or the production thereof in any trial or other
proceedings relating thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be
brought in its name as Trustee without the necessity of joining as plaintiffs or defendants any
holders of the Bonds, and any recovery of judgment shall, subject to the provisions of
Section 7.5 hereof, be for the equal benefit of the holders of the outstanding Bonds. When the
Trustee incurs costs or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees, costs or expenses) or

compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, moratorium, reorganization or other debtor

other remedy hereunder, unless a default has occurred of which the Trustee has been notified as
provided in subsection (g) of Section 8.1, or of which by said subsection it is deemed to have
notice, nor unless also such default shall have become an event of default and the holders of all
Bonds then outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee and shall have offered
reasonable opportunity either to proceed to exercise the powers hereinbefore granted or to
institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name, nor unless also they have offered to the
Trustee indemnity as provided in Section 8.1 hereof,nor unless the Trustee shall thereafter fail or
refuse to exercise the powers hereinbefore granted, or to institute such action, suit or proceeding
in its, his, or their own name or names. Such notification, request and offer of indemnity are
hereby declared in every case at the option of the Trustee to be conditions precedent to the
execution of the powers and trusts of this Indenture, and to any action or cause of action for the
enforcement of this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or for any other remedy
hereunder; it being understood and intended that no one or more holders of the Bonds shall have
any right in any manner whatsoever to affect, disturb or prejudice the lien of this Indenture by

its, his or their action or to enforce any right hereunder except in the manner herein provided,
and that all proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner
herein provided and for the equal benefit of the holders of all Bonds then outstanding. Nothing

manner in said Bonds expressed.

enforce any right under this Indenture by the appointment of a receiver, or otherwise, and such
proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been

be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, with respect to the Trust
Estate, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Trustee shall continue as if no such
proceedings had been taken.

event of default hereunder and its consequences and rescind any declaration of maturity of
principal of the Bonds, and shall do so upon the written request of the holders of (1) all the
Bonds then outstanding in respect of which default in the payment of principal and/or premium,
if any, and interest or (2) all Bonds then outstanding in the case of any other default; provided,
however, that there shall not be waived any event of default in the payment of the principal of
any outstanding Bonds at the date of maturity specified therein, and all expenses of the Trustee
in connection with such default shall have been paid or provided for, and in case of any such
waiver or rescission, or in case any proceeding taken by the Trustee on account of any such
default shall have been discontinued or abandoned or determined adversely, then and in every
such case the Issuer, the Trustee and the Bondholders shall be restored to their former positions
and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver or rescission shall extend to any
subsequent or other default, or impair any right consequent thereon.
