position Parcel 1 -1 to be Service Commercial and the LPA obtained reuse appraisals
on the Parcel for that reuse; and
WHEREAS, in the planning and installation of the new site improvements for the area
and more particularly the rights- of-way and installation of St. Joseph Street
between Colfax Avenue and LaSalle Avenue, it was found to be necessary to realign
the rights - of-way of St. Joseph Street for a more efficient traffic flow system
and the meeting of proper grades and turn radius at intersections; and
Ark WHEREAS, this realignment of St. Joseph Street between LaSalle and Colfax Avenues
_ reduces the size and changes the shape of Disposition Parcel 1 -1 to such an extent
that rendered the Parcel too small for effic tent Service Commercial Reuse and the

Use would not be available; and

for this Disposition Parcel is for Park and Open Space purposes; and

porated into the Application for an Amended Loan and Grant Contract dated September 7,
1972 and submitted to the Government for their approval.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the South Bend Redevelopment Commission, Governing
Body of the City of South Bend, Department of Redevelopment that the South Bend
