(1) Commission approval requested for
Resolution No. 2202 approving a form of
lease for 117/119 E. Wayne Street and
authorizing the execution and delivery
thereof and other related matters.
Mr. Williams noted that Resolution No. 2202
approves a form of lease for the
Commission's commercial leases and
authorizes the Commission to execute the
lease with Brenda Markin for the Wayne
Street garage retail space at 117/119 E.
Wayne Street.
Mr. Williams noted that there were several
minor changes to the lease that was originally
presented with Resolution No. 2202: (1)
changed the occurrences of "State Cafe" to
"Brenda Markin" because she is operating as
a sole proprietor; (2) adjusted dates related to
when the Commission could provide the
property; and (3) added some items to the list
of improvements that would be performed
before Ms. Markin took possession. They

were all very minor changes.
Mr. Downes noted that one item that changed
was in Article 8 regarding the insurance. He
did not want to hold up approval of this
lease, but suggested the Commission could
discuss the required limits of insurance for
leases at a future date.
Upon a motion by Mr. King, seconded by
Mr. Downes and unanimously carried, the
Commission approved Resolution No. 2202

in the 9,000 sft building at Enzyme Research
Laboratories' 412 S. Lafayette Blvd. facility.
The real property tax abatement is for rehab
of the 25,423 sft Commerce Drive facility.
The project will result in increased
production capacity and an expanded product
line. The estimated cost of the rehab is
$1,000,000.
The personal property abatement is for
$800,000 of equipment.
It is estimated that the project will create six
new, permanent, full-time jobs representing a
new annual payroll of $300,750. The project
will also maintain eleven existing permanent
full-time jobs with an annual payroll of
$324,200.
Enzyme Research Laboratories has had no
previous tax abatements. The property is
properly zoned for the proposed use. The
property is located in the Airport Economic
Development Area; therefore, the petition for
both real and personal property tax
abatement must first be approved by the
South Bend Redevelopment Commission.
The project qualifies for an eight-year real
property tax abatement and afive-year
personal property tax abatement under the
tax abatement ordinance.
Based on rehabilitation costs of $1,000,000
for the facility, the cost of the real property

South Bend Chocolate Company proposes to
purchase the building from the Commission

$600,000 to $750,000 in the building and an
additional $600,000 to $750,000 in retail

expansion of the existing South Bend
Chocolate Cafe and Nicholas J. Salon, and
new components associated with a South
Bend Chocolate flagship location will be
introduced: a Knute Rockne-themed meeting
room, asecond-story children's play area, a

development of retail storefronts along this
block of Michigan Street in the downtown
core. In particular, the Commission has
identified the desirability of destination retail
that attracts new demographic sectors to shop
downtown by providing unique experiences
or services that can't be replicated elsewhere.
The proposal seems to meet these criteria
well. The proposal does not meet the
Commission's offering price, set as the
average o f two MAI appraisals at
$480,000.00. However, the proposal
addresses the discrepancy and asks the
Commission to consider the exceptional
investment that will be made in the building
in weighing whether acceptance of its offer
of $100,000 can be justified. The proposal
also requests certain additional assistance
from the Commission that will require
additional discussion with the developer and
coordination with other agencies.
Staff requests the Commission's
authorization to continue discussions with
Mark Tarner, President of South Bend
Chocolate Company, with the understanding
that, since the offering price was not met, no
contract may be executed before 30 days
from the bid opening date has expired. We
believe this will prove to be an excellent
project oflong-term benefit to the downtown,
and look forward to welcoming our first live-
action M&M to Michigan Street.
Ms. Greene noted that since there were no
conforming bids for the Oscos site, the staff

Upon a motion by Mr. King, seconded by
