C. Sample -Ewing Development Area

Mr. Schalliol noted that at the March 28
meeting two proposals were received for
Parcel 7 in the Studebaker Corridor, one
from Bell Parts Supply and one from
Ziolkowski Construction. The staff report
for the Commission details notes from the
presentations and from the project proposals.
After carefully reviewing both proposals, the
staff recommends awarding the bid for
Parcel 7 to Ziolkowski Construction. Staff
recommendation is based on several points
and conditions. Ziolkowski's business is
currently located on property adjacent to
Parcel 7; and the proposed use for the site,
the size and construction of the new facility,
and the general site development plan are
consistent with Ziolkowski's facility and the
Development Plan for the area. The
proposed use is consistent with Ziolkowski's
efforts to retain and grow its existing
business. The proposed project offers the
opportunity to improve the appearance and
safety conditions on other quadrants of the
block, the opportunity to put the property
back into taxable use, and the opportunity to
solve the multiple -year disposition issue for
this parcel. Additionally, the character of
the construction is similar to the intent of
the Studebaker Corridor disposition area
requirements.
Mr. Schalliol noted that the award of the
disposition of Parcel 7 to Ziolowkowski
should be conditioned on some key points,
including but not limited to the following:

Redevelopment Commission meeting;
(2) Ziolkowski must take over maintenance
of the property and maintain it to an
improved level; (3) Ziolkowski must
perform basic site improvements as
negotiated with the Redevelopment
Commission; and (4) Ziolkowski must begin
on the project within two years of closing or
negotiate a time period acceptable to the
Commission. Site improvements included
with the Contract for Sale of Land must
include all property owned by Ziolkowski on
this block and any requirements determined
IL to be appropriate by the Redevelopment
Commission.
Ms. Greene pointed out that I.C. 36 -7 -22 (f)
states that the Commission may reject all
bids or it may make an award to the highest
and best bidder. The factors the
Commission may consider when making its
award include the size and character of the
improvements; the bidder's plans and ability
to improve the property with reasonable
promptness; whether the property, when
improved, will be sold or rented; the
proposed sale or rental price; and any other
factors it wishes to take into consideration
that it believes will best serve the interests of
the community from both a human and
economic welfare standpoint.

(2) Commission approval requested for
Letter of Agreement - Addendum #3 to
Letter of Agreement Dated August 22,
2001 between the City of South Bend and
Lehman & Lehman, Inc. (East Bank
Planning Project)
Mr. Mathia reported that since September
2001, Lehman & Lehman has been assisting
the City on various development activities
and projects on the East Bank including an
overall master development plan for the
area. The original scope of work for the
projects haas been modified as the work
progressed. The size of the project area has
been enlarged and the number of tasks
increased. The work has been complicated
by the announcement that the St. Joseph
Regional Medical Center plans to move
from the area and recent sizable acquisition
of additional East Bank properties by
Madison Center. The original Letter of
Agreement was approved by the
Commission on September 7, 2001 in the
amount of $20,000. The Agreement was
amended on December 21, 2001 and
September 27, 2002 and total funding was
increased to $70,000. At present, $1,678
remains unexpended under the agreement.
To carry out the additional activities and to
complete the development plans, it is
necessary to extend the agreement to
August 31, 2003 and increase the level of
funding by $42,000 to a new total of
$112,000. Staff recommends approval of
the third addendum.

Mr. Mathia added that the minimum bid
price for the site was $263,000 and noted
that the proposal was submitted without a
bid price.
Ms. Greene reminded the Commission that
accepting a bid does not require the making
of an award. Ms. Greene noted that the
proposal was extensive and the Commission
may wish to receive more information today
and review it, but defer any decision for a
later time.
Mr. Mathia then introduced Mr. James
Browning of Browning Investments.
Mr. Browning advised that Browning
Investments is located in Indianapolis and
has been developing real estate in that area
since the early 1980s. They have done all
sizes of projects in downtown Indianapolis
and on the north side of Indianapolis,
primarily Class A development.
Mr. Browning explained the project they
propose for the Main - Jefferson site in
downtown South Bend. The project would
be a $15,000,000, 100,000 sft office
building on six floors with an 18,000 sft
footprint. He displayed a rendering showing
a corner lobby, but said they are also
considering a center entrance. The site
would contain nine parking spaces at ground
level and an underground parking garage.
The building would contain two elevators

and a loading dock. Mr. Browning noted that
the site is restricted by its size and limited
nearby parking. The limited space for
parking has been an issue they have
struggled with greatly. They believe a
building of this magnitude has to be able to
serve both customer and employee parking.
They wanted to construct a building of
prominence and believe they have offered
that with this proposal.
Mr. Browning noted that the site will need to
be excavated to be able to handle the
ILfoundations for this size structure.
Mr. Browning also noted that they have a
major tenant for the building and five other
prospects who have expressed interest for a
total of about 75% of the building. Two
banks are interested in doing the financing,
so they don't expect a problem with
financing.
Ms. Jones asked what the total parking
capacity would be on site, including the
underground parking. Mr. Browning
responded that there would be 32 spaces
under ground, 9 above ground, and the
parking garage at Main and Wayne Streets
which they hope to acquire.
Mr. Mathia asked why it is necessary to
excavate so deeply. Mr. Browning
responded that the soils report he's seen

didn't provide a clear understanding of what
debris might be below ground that will need
to be removed.
Ms. Jones asked how many people might be
working in the building when it is
completely occupied. Mr. Browning
estimated about one person per 200 sft (500
people).
Ms. Greene noted that the number of issues
the developer and staff have will require
significant time to work out. She
recommended referring the proposal to staff
IL and reconsidering it at the May 2, 2003
meeting. Mr. Mathia noted that a detailed
study of the Wells Fargo garage has been
commissioned which won't be ready until
May 2. Mr. Browning expressed concern
that delays might cause the construction to
not meet the major tenant's time table. Ms.
Greene noted that the proposal calls for
disposition of the land to be completed by
June 30 and they would still plan to meet
that schedule if they waited for the garage
study.
Ms. Greene noted that the proposal requests
a 10 -year tax abatement. She explained that
the Commission doesn't approve tax
abatements; the Common Council does.
The Commission only agrees to forego its
TIF from the project.

Mr. Laurent explained that Resolution No. 1969
sets the fair reuse value of land at the Oliver
Industrial Park. The property has been appraised
by two qualified MAI appraisers, reviewed by
Redevelopment staff, and the reuse value will be
established based on those appraisals. The
Oliver site has not been divided into parcels;
therefore the price has been defined based on
three criteria: interior parcels larger than five
acres are valued at $20,500 per acre; interior
parcels of five acres or less are valued at
$23,000 per acre; and any parcels fronting on
Chapin St. are valued at $25,500 per acre. The
existing structures on site, both the Boiler House
and buildings 46 and 47, have no contributing
value due to their deteriorated condition. Staff
recommends approval of Resolution No. 1969.
