suggested the policy of including this
document in the bid packet needs to be
reconsidered. It is extremely out of date and
sends the wrong message to potential

will review the requirements and make a
recommendation for future packets.

(4) Additional relocation costs for Enyart
Motors, 122 E. Sample St.
Mr. Relos noted that Items 6B(4) and (5) go
hand in hand and must be approved as a pair.
On November 2, 2010, the Commission
approved the Acquisition Offer and Counter
Offer as well as relocation expenses for
Enyart Electric Motor Repair (Enyart),
located at 122 E. Sample St. The acquisition
and relocation of Enyart will allow its current
building along East Sample to be used by Ivy
Tech for the expansion of much needed
classroom, storage, and /or parking.
On November 19, 2010, the Commission
completed the disposition process for 1313
Prairie Ave, by publicly opening bids. There
were no conforming bids for that property
which had a disposition offering price of
$189,000. Enyart bid, and continues to offer
to purchase 1313 Prairie for $165,000.
Enyart has been in business since 1965, and
recently acquired another electric motor
repair business in Elkhart. It has outgrown
its current location, and would like to
purchase and relocate to 1313 Prairie to
consolidate and grow the two businesses.
When considering its move to 1313 Prairie,
the owners of Enyart discussed their needs
with contractors who, based on those
conversations, gave them an estimate of costs
for the renovations necessary to
accommodate their move. Enyart felt those
estimates were close enough to move
8

forward with its and our plans to relocate
them.
Upon closer inspection by the contractors
after closing, they discovered several more
items not originally included in their
estimates, such as ADA compliance,
sprinklers needing to be moved and
reconfigured, and transformers not being able
to be moved and reused. Those items have
increased the project from $132,318 to
$250,788, an additional $118,470.
Though this increase came as a surprise to all
involved, upgrading this building on the
western edge of Ignition Park, which has
been vacant for many years, will benefit this
important corridor of Ignition Park. Both the
building’s interior and exterior will be
upgraded, and eventually, at a cost of
approximately $60,000 to Enyart, the
northern half of this parcel will be cleaned
and cleared of its unsightly chain link fence
and scrub trees.
This move and investment will allow a long
time business in South Bend to expand,
relocate, and stay in South Bend. Enyart will
not seek tax abatement for these
improvements.
This move also helps to address Ivy Tech’s
tremendous enrollment growth by allowing
them to expand next to their current campus.
And finally, this move takes a vacant

property near Ignition Park, upgrade it, and
increase its overall value.
For these three reasons, staff requests
approval of the Contract for Purchase and
Sale of 1313 Prairie Ave. in the amount of
$165,000, and an additional $118,470
($250,788 total) in relocation assistance for
the acquisition and relocation of Enyart from
122 E. Sample St. to 1313 Prairie Ave.
Mr. Relos acknowledged the large increase in
costs for this transaction, but felt it is a great
project and will have a similar impact on its
surroundings as did Habitat for Humanity’s
renovation of the old Kroger store on S. Main
Street.
Mr. Downes asked how many jobs will be
coming from the Elkhart location to South
Bend. Mr. Siri responded that they currently
employ eight people at the Sample Street
location. There are four employees in
Elkhart. Two of those will be retiring. Two
will come to South Bend. Mr. Siri also noted
that the new location will allow the company
to grow.

(Add properties to the List of Properties to

Mr Relos noted that staff requests the
Commission authorize it to begin the
statutory process to amend the development
plan of the West Washington Chapin
Development Area (WWCDA) to add two
parcels to the acquisition list: two parcels
directly north of Tippecanoe Place
Restaurant. The parcel along Washington
Street has a one story red brick commercial
building on it. The parcel along Taylor
Street has a one story cement block
commercial building on it.
Both of these buildings are out of character
with the historic neighborhood which
surrounds them. Both buildings have been
vacant for many years and are in a state of
disrepair. Upon acquisition of these
properties, they will be cleared and the lots

information to the Commission, and then,
upon approval of the planning information,
will present a Declaratory Resolution to
