Area Date: April 5, 2010 Attached for the Redevelopment Commission's consideration is proposed Confirming Resolution 2667 which would amend the South Side Development Area Plan and add six (6) parcels to the acquisition list. The properties are part of the site area proposed for the Erskine Plaza Drainage Pond Project. The process to add these properties to the acquisition list began when the South Bend Redevelopment Commission (RDC) conducted a study and determined that it is necessary and beneficial to the orderly redevelopment of the South Side Development Area (SSDA) to add various parcels to the SSDA Acquisition List to further the development efforts on the south side. The declaratory resolution of the RDC (Res. 2658 approved March 5, 2010) was sent to the St. Joseph County Area Plan Commission (APC) (Res 209-10 approved March 16, 2010) for an order approving the RDC's action. The APC's resolution was approved by the South Bend City Common Council (Res. 10-17 approved March 22, 2010) for an order approving the RDC's and APC's action. The process now returns to the RDC for a confirming resolution and public hearing. The parcels proposed for addition to the acquisition list are in a specific target area within the central part of the south side area located adjacent to the Erskine Plaza shopping development. Two of the properties proposed for addition to the acquisition are presently owned by the City of South Bend, one parcel that is privately owned is presently used as a shortcut connector on the western end of the western-most pond that connects Erskine Plaza to a shopping center fronting on Ireland Road, and three parcels are residential houses located on the site of the proposed new pond. The addition of all three parcels is key to the correct sizing of the pond and the project cannot be accomplished without the addition of the three parcels. The Erskine Plaza Pond Project is directly related to present and future planning and development objectives for the South Side Development Area. The pond project will improve the drainage situation not only in the immediate Miami/Ireland area, but it will reduce the off-site drainage/overflow needs in the storm sewer network or into Erskine Park Golf Course. The development of the new pond system will also create a new development site along Miami to allow for additional development opportunities on the south side. Staff asks the Redevelopment Commission for favorable approval of Confirming Resolution 2667. What We Do Today Makes A Difference!
