A. South Bend Central Development Area
(1) Resolution No. 2804 related to acquisition
of property in the South Bend Central
Development Area. (306 W. Monroe,
Michiana Lock & Key)
Mr. Relos noted that the former Seifer Safe
& Lock at 306 W. Monroe was added to the
South Bend Central Development Area List
of Properties to be Acquired in 1985 in an
ambitious acquisition attempt to acquire
both vacant and occupied land in the block
bounded by South St., Taylor, Western and
Lafayette. The land was assembled for
development of the Stanley Coveleski
Regional Baseball Stadium.

South Bend Redevelopment Commission
Regular Meeting –December 17, 2010
6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.)
A. South Bend Central Development Area
(1) continued…
Seifer could not find a suitable new location,
so the property was not acquired at that time.
Since then, the name of the company has
changed to Michiana Lock & Key. They
have found a location at 621 East Jefferson
Blvd. in the East Bank which they feel meets
their needs. Resolution No. 2804 sets the
acquisition offering price at $65,000, the
average of two independent appraisals.
Staff has discussed the relocation with the
owner. An Administrative Settlement,
including the purchase price, relocation
expenses, service costs for re-establishment
of the business and other eligible expenses is
recommended in the amount of $300,000.
This relocation will add a very strong
business to the East Bank.
Mr. Relos also noted that demolition of the
structure at 306 w. Monroe will provide short
and long term benefits to the Coveleski Park
project. In the immediate future, the site
would be used as a stockpile location related
to the field replacement project at the Cove.
In the long term, the site could either be
reconfigured for a commercial development
or be incorporated into the parking and site
access plan for the ballpark.
Commissioners requested a breakdown of the
costs involved in the Administrative
Settlement. Mr. Relos provided a cost
breakdown. He noted that the cost of
acquiring the Jefferson Blvd. property and re-
establishing a business there is estimated to
6

Regular Meeting –December 17, 2010
6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.)
A. South Bend Central Development Area

cost $327,000, but the owner is only asking
the Commission to pay $235,000 of that.
Mr. Varner said that this seems to be a rather
expensive piece to a larger puzzle that he
already thought was excessive. He said he
was not inclined to support it.
Ms. King asked, then, if Michiana Lock and
Key will end up with a remodeled building
for $200,000 and $65,000 in its pocket. Mr.
Relos responded that relocation costs for a
business frequently amount to more than a
building is actually worth. There are
modifications that need to be made to make
the building suit the businesses needs as well
as the old building did.
Ms. King noted that the Commission has
guidelines with regard to residential
relocation. She asked there are the same for
businesses. Mr. Relos responded that there
are. The Relocation Act calls for very
limited relocation costs, approximately
$10,000 or $20,000. Relocation costs for
businesses are always much more than that.
That is why staff asks for Administrative
Settlements.
Mr. Downes asked what prevented the
acquisition of this property back in 1985.
Mr. Relos responded that the owner was not
willing to sell. At their current site they have
a corner lot with a large parking area. They
wanted the same type of arrangement which
could not be found. Those requirements are

not as important to the son who now runs the
business.
Mr. Downes asked if the appraisals take into
account that the property is in the middle of a
potential future development. Mr. Relos
does not believe they consider the potential
future value.
Mr. Alford asked if the new location has any
parking at all. Mr. Relos responded that
there is some parking immediately west of
the building. There is also a small building
on the property that they could demolish to
increase the parking area.
Mr. Downes made a motion to approve
Resolution No. 2804 and the Administrative
Settlement. Ms. King seconded the motion.
Then Ms. King asked if staff had gotten an
appraisal for the E. Jefferson property. Mr.
Relos responded that he does not know of
one. He e-mailed Mr. Schalliol this morning
to ask that, but did not get an answer prior to
the Commission meeting.
Ms. King suggested tabling this item until the
Commission knows the appraised value of
the E. Jefferson property.
Mr. Downes said he would like to see the
appraisals of the Monroe St. property also.
Mr. Meteiver noted that Resolution No. 2804
only approves the acquisition offering price

of $65,000. Staff anticipates a counter offer
covering any other any additional money
necessary to acquire the new property. Staff
would like to act on Resolution No. 2804
today.
Ms. King withdrew her second of the motion.
Lacking a second, the motion died.

Mr. Relos noted that the Commission
acquired 1503/1505 Prairie earlier this fall.
The property is vacant. The owner has
another thirty days to move the smaller
building and to salvage from the larger one.
When he is done, staff would like to
demolish the remaining building.

(2) Consent to Modification of Deed
Restrictions (1915 N. Bendix)
Mr. Mathia noted that an Indiana non-profit
group, Carreer Academy of South Bend,
wants to establish a charter school in the
former PEI Genesis building on Bendix
Drive. They intend to purchase the property
from Appletree Associates, the real estate
holding company for PEI Genesis. The
property is located in the Airport Industrial
Park Phase I. The deed restrictions in that
park do not permit a charter school.
However, the deed restrictions can be
modified if 75% of the park’s property
owners agree to the modification. Career
Academy is trying to obtain agreement from
the property owners to modify the restriction
and permit operation of the charter school.
The school is asking the Redevelopment
Commission, successor to the original park
developer (the Industrial Foundation) to
approve its request to modify the deed
restrictions. The Academy is close to
obtaining the required 75% of property
10

owners in the park. The information
necessary for preparation of the document
titled “Consent to Modification of Deed
Restrictions” that the Commission would
sign is still being collected and reviewed. As
a result, the document could not be
completed in time for this meeting. But,
since time is of the essence, the Commission
is requested to authorized its president or
director to sign the document when the
review is complete and the 75% approval
level is reached.
Mr. Varner asked what is known about the
Career Academy, particularly whether it will
be looking to South Bend for funding for the
school. Mr. Charles Loeser, attorney for the
Career Academy, responded that the Career
Academy is a new non-profit organization.
The principal organizers are Steve Hartz
(Value Tool) and Larry Garatoni. The school
will be operating on a shoestring in its early
years because the state funds do not begin for
several years. There has been discussion
about city aid with the refurbishment costs
for the building.
Mr. Varner said he thinks that means there
will be a request for city funding. Mr. Loeser
said he couldn’t rule that out, but did not
believe the project was contingent on that.
Mr. Downes noted that the request to the
Commission here is not for funding, but for
consent to modify deed restrictions.

intends to put forward a resolution at its next

Commission authorized sending a purchase
offer in the amount of $34,750 for 627 W.
Indiana Ave. The property is a 1,500 sq. ft,
two-story, four bedroom, single family home
with a fenced yard, back deck and two-car
garage. Staff has been negotiating with the
property owner to reach an agreement to
purchase the property. Since the property
appraised at less than the mortgage balance,
approximately $12,100 additional is needed
to pay off the bank mortgage and gain clear
title to the property. Staff recommends
approval of an Administrative Settlement in
the amount of $12,100 for a total purchase
price of $46,850.

Mr. Relos noted that on September 17, 2010
the Commission authorized a purchase offer

$78,000. The property is a 2,565 sq. ft.,
extensively remodeled two-story duplex.
The property is currently on the market for
$135,000. Staff has been negotiating with
the property owner to reach an agreement to
purchase the property. The owner has agreed
to sell it for $115,000. Mr. Relos noted that

(2) Proposal for professional services related
to property acquisition assistance (748
Hawbaker Street).
Mr. Relos noted that the initial plan
regarding the retention ponds near Ireland
and Miami was to reconfigure them. During
that time we intended to acquire 748
Hawbaker to help with the reroute of pipe
work along High Street. The owner was
uncooperative in providing documentation so
we could get clean title to the property.
Negotiations fell apart. Chris Davey of
Grubb & Ellis offered to acquire the property
and then do a land swap with the city for a
more developable property. Mr. Davey put
up a $2,000 non-refundable deposit on the
748 Hawbaker property. When the city
decided to simply clean up the existing
ponds, it did not need to acquire the property
on Hawbaker and Mr. Davey was left
holding this unneeded property. Staff
recommends reimbursing Mr. Davey for his
out-of-pocket costs.
Ms. King said she noticed that at the Miami
Street retention pond they have taken down
all the fencing and all the trees. It is
15

completely open, with water in the bottom of
the pond. The land is almost level from the
parking lot. If someone puts their car into
drive instead of reverse, they will be in the
retention pond. And, with snow and ice this
winter, it will be tempting to children. She
fears for safety and would like to see some
protection around the pond soon. Mr. Relos
said he will mention that to Mr. Schalliol.
