Relocation Services, 807 W. Indiana Ave Date: August 06, 2010 The attached Professional Services Agreement is a proposal from Danch, Harner & Associates for relocation efforts for a private club at 807 W. Indiana Avenue. This private club is located in the area on the north side of Indiana Avenue, which has been targeted for the expansion of Ignition Park. Staff has had many discussions with club members regarding their relocation, and they believe they have found a new building that will accommodate their needs, which is before the Commission this morning. According to the City's zoning ordinance, private clubs can only locate in the Mixed Use or Local Business zoned areas of the City. Within these areas, a private club must seek a special exception, requiring them to go before the Area Plan Commission and Common Council for approval. This club is going from a Mixed Use to a Mixed Use area. Total project services cost is $3,150, which includes the preparation of all documents necessary to seek this special exception. Also included in this proposal is the representation needed to go before Area Plan and the Common Council. Staff feels since we are requesting the relocation of this club, it is fair that the club not be required to pay for these services. Staff requests approval of this Professional Services Agreement, to allow the relocation of this club to be brought before the Area Plan Commission and Common Council by a highly regarded professional firm, which is very familiar with the requirements needed.
