Subject: Revised Confirming Resolution 2667 — South Side Dev. Area Date: April 19, 2010 Attached for the Redevelopment Commission's consideration is proposed Revised Confirming Resolution 2667 which would amend the South Side Development Area Plan and add four (4) parcels to the acquisition list. The properties are part of the site area proposed for the Erskine Plaza Drainage Pond Project. After the Commission meeting on April 91h, City staff met to discuss the options related to this project. As we have studied many different directions to push and pull the water all over the south side area, we determined that the most cost effective solution was to rebuild the existing pond network, upgrade some of the piping systems connecting the water into the ponds, and provide for more efficient and best practice methods for pond design. As part of a new design exercise on the existing ponds, we will examine the cost benefit/return on investment of creating a development pad on the eastern end of the Miami Avenue pond. As we have revised the land area need assessment for this project, I am revising the resolution to remove two parcels, 722 and 736 Hawbaker, from the exhibit that supports the resolution. I would ask the Commission to add 748 Hawbaker to the list as the parcel is adjacent to High Street and could be used as a pathway for underground pipe connections to facilitate a better drainage network for this area. It is not anticipated that any drainage feature would be developed on this site, and if it was necessary, would only be done with the full coordination of the adjacent residential and commercial neighborhood. 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. Staff asks the Redevelopment Commission for favorable approval of Revised Confirming Resolution 2667.
