LUECKE, MAYOR DEPARTMEN February 16, 2010 PHONE 574/ 235-)486 FAx 574/235-7703 TDD 574/ 235-5567 T OF CODE ENFORCEMENT CATHERINE M. TOFFEE DIRECTOR The Honorable Redevelopment Commission Of the City of South Bend 1200 County-City Building South Bend, Indiana 46601 RE: 521 Eclipse Place Dear Honorable Redevelopment Commission: The Department of Code Enforcement is seeking 1.5 million dollars from the Airport TIF fund to rehab and construct an animal shelter to be located at 521 Eclipse Place, South Bend, Indiana. The property as referenced above has been in the possession of the Department of Code Enforcement of the City of South Bend since 1996. During the 14 years of possession, the building has been utilized as crew headquarters for the department. This use consisted of lunch facilities, office use and outside storage of 4 dump trucks, 2 tractors, 1 large single arm loading truck, and multiple lawn equipment including trailers. The Department of Code Enforcement proposes the future use of this building become the new state of the art shelter for South Bend Animal Care and Control. South Bend Animal Care and Control has outgrown its current facility located at 105 S. Olive Street consisting of 17 kennels. Animal Care and Control provides a public service which the citizens of South Bend have come to expect and appreciate since its inception in 1996. The current facility located at 521 Eclipse Place is in need of major roof repairs and has not had any upgrades since the early 80's when it was utilized by the South Bend Housing Authority as offices. In addition, the structure along with the sea of pavement and chain link fencing does not enhance the neighboring community. The Honorable. Redevelopment Commission February 16, 2010 Page Two We propose this use will be more compatible to the surrounding neighbors consisting of Bosch to the south, single-family residential homes to the west, and the Kennedy water playground and park to the north and east. The shelter will include outdoor courtyards surrounded by the building. No animals or runs will be visible to the public. Our department in partnership with C.A.R.E. Community Animal Rescue Effort of the City of South Bend has worked with Tom Farny, architect from Grinsfelder Associates Architects of Fort Wayne, Indiana to design an approximate 9500 square feet shelter which will consist of a complete remodeling of the existing building, adding a pitched roof and additions to the structure for the kennels. While this architect firm is located in Fort Wayne, this firm was employed due to their previous experience designing and building 7 animal shelters in the state of Indiana. These shelters include Fort Wayne, Hendricks County and Bluffton. We have attached elevation drawings, site plan and a photo of the current location for your review. We have also attached the responsibilities that South Bend Animal Care and Control have to the community. We look forward to our partnership with the Redevelopment Commission in developing this location. Sincerely, ,~ " <_ atherine Toppel, C.C.O.
