5. New Business
A. River West Development Area
1. Resolution No. 3438 (Transfer of Property from Parks)
Mr. Relos presented Resolution No. 3438, accepting the transfer of property from
the Board of Park Commissioners of the parcel south of Stephenson Mills. This
parcel was transferred to Parks in 2016 because three City entities (BPW, RDC
and Parks) had ownership interests in the land south of Stephenson Mills and the
Wharf site. With the many planned construction activities in this area, common
ownership would streamline the approval process for agreements between the
various parties.
This particular parcel is burdened by an easement/option to buy dating back to
1993, when Stephenson Mills was redeveloped. Additionally, there are
overlapping easements dating back to when this area was an industrial site. To
clean this area of these many overlapping easements, and to allow for the
expansion of Seitz Park and the transfer of land to Stephenson Mills, this area is
planned to be replatted and the old easements between the partied released.
To allow these plans to move forward, this parcel needs to be transferred back to
the Commission. After the replat process, the remaining land will be transferred
back to Parks, which will allow Seitz Park to be upgraded and expanded.
Commission approval is requested.
Upon a motion by Vice President Varner, seconded by Commissioner Ferlic,
the motion carried unanimously, the Commission approved Resolution No.
3438 (Transfer of Property from Parks) submitted on Thursday, August 23,
2018.
2. Resolution No. 3439 (Waiver of Prohibition of Third Party Transfer to JSK)
Mr. Relos presented Resolution No. 3439, which allows the post -closing transfer
of the Hall of Fame from Southhold LLC to JSK Development Inc. Closing on the
Hall of Fame occurred on August 22, 2018, and Southhold LLC would like to
transfer the property to JSK Development Inc., which is the majority owner of
Southhold LLC. This waives, for this instance only, the 3 year post closing
transfer penalty in Section 13 of the Fifth Amendment, approved by the
Commission on June 28, 2018. Commission approval is requested.
Upon a motion by Secretary Inks, seconded by Commissioner Ferlic, the motion
carried unanimously, the Commission approved Resolution No. 3439 (Waiver of
Prohibition of Third Party Transfer to JSK) submitted on Thursday, August 23,
2018.
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting —August 23, 2018
3. License Agreement (Gridiron)
Mr. Relos presented this License Agreement for use of the Gridiron at the Hall of
Fame, which allows the University of Notre Dame to use the Gridiron on
September 8th, September 15th and October 13th.
Upon a motion by Vice President Varner, seconded by Commissioner Ferlic,
the motion carried unanimously, the Commission approved License Agreement
(Gridiron) submitted on Thursday, August 23, 2018.
4. First Amendment to Real Estate Purchase Agreement (Jefferson/Main)
Mr. Relos presented First Amendment to Real Estate Purchase Agreement for the
SW corner of Jefferson and Main, which is the new development planned for this
corner. Per the Agreement the due diligence period ends August 24th. This will
extend the due diligence period for an additional 30 days, allowing time for the
development's special exception to be considered at the Common Council's
meeting on August 27th. Commission approval is requested.
Upon a motion by Commissioner Ferlic, seconded by Secretary Inks, the motion
carried unanimously, the Commission approved First Amendment to Real
Estate Purchase Agreement (Jefferson/Main) submitted on Thursday, August
23, 2018.
B. South Side Development Area
1. Budget Request (St. Joseph Streetscape, Project No. 118-008)
Mr. Silveus presented a budget request for the St. Joseph Streetscape project No.
118-008. This request is an additional amount of $70,000 for the extension of a
new water main and fire hydrant installation along Callander Street, by the new
Menards on Ireland Rd. The proposed water main will serve the new Holiday Inn
development as well as the future development on the north side of Callander,
which will most likely to be a restaurant. There may be more than one restaurant
going into that area.
Upon a motion by Secretary Inks, seconded by Commissioner Ferlic, the motion
carried unanimously, the Commission approved a budget increase for the St.
Joseph Streetscape, Project No. 118-008 submitted on Thursday, August 23,
2018.
C. Administrative
1. Resolution No. 3440 (Setting Public Hearing for Additional 2018 TIF
Appropriations)

2018 TIF Appropriations. This Resolution sets the public hearing for September
13th. One note on the Redevelopment Retail, as questions may come up since the
property was just sold, is we will transfer the cash remaining to the Park
Department since they will take care of the ongoing maintenance of the Leighton
