Resolution No. 374: Mr. B. Ashenfelter, Executive RESOLUTION NO. 374 Director, requested the adoption of Resolution No. 374, (NDP APPLICATION) approving an application on behalf of the Department of ADOPTED, SUBJECT TO Redev lopment for a loan, in the amount of $1,118.635.00, COMMON COUNCIL & to fiance a Neighborhood Development Program No. 1, COMMISSION LEGAL subject to Common Council approval. COUNSEL APPROVAL Mr. James H. Neidigh, Neidigh & Associates, gave alpre- senta ion of the program as suggested for the Model Cities and Southeast Neighborhood areas, which will in- clude both clearance and rehabilitation: 1) Model Cities area- -will include a total 4.9 acres -- bounded by Olive Street on the st, Orange Street on the South, Sadie Street the East, and Linden Avenue on the North. is will be predominately a clearance area. 2) The Southeast area - -will include 8.2 cres -- covering two areas in this action year: he first area is roughly bounded by Pennsylvania, lder, extension of St. Joseph Street and Michi- an Street, and is predominately clearance. The econd area is along Haney Street, which is a ikely rehabilitation area. Mr. Neidigh gave a complete cost breakdown of the appli- catio being submitted. Mrs. Frederick Mutzl, Director, St. Joseph County Fair Tax As ociation, was advised by Mr. Barbe that the -4- 6. ANEW BUSINESS (Cont'd Neighborhood Development Program is a new approach on a yearly increment basis, which must be approved each year for both planning and action. It is primarily the responsibility.of this Commission, as the Department of Redevelopmentis the only agenc,y of the City that is legally empowered to carry out this program. Model Cities is an adminis- trative agency who coordinates and 'utilizes existing agencies to carry out over -all plans by contract. We wi 1 be given ninety (90) days to develop the urban renew l plan, after application approval by HUD, and at th t time we go through the statutory proceedings. The N P application was'prepared by Mr. James H. Neidigh of James H. Neidigh & Associates, along with Mr. Mike Obrin er of the Area Plan Commission. After Common Council approval, Mr. Hammerschmidt will give a written legal opinion. Mr. Conrad Damian, representing the Southeast PAC Executive Committee, read a report from his Committee "giving official approval for the submission of the NDP appli cation for funding the first year, as a bond of their intention to work together for the betterment of-their' neighborhood and the City of South Bend and not bound to a et plan of demolition and clearance of the area: , descr b.ed in the submission, but to the effective use of these funds for their most creative use." Presi ent Helmen again voiced his concern over com mitti g the City for a share of these expenses with a heavier burden on the taxpayer. Mr. Barbe advised this as been discussed with City. Council in a Caucu's sessi on and the City Engineer has submitted, reports to thE City Council on how these programs affect the City on a five -year program.. The money can come from two sources for the 1/4 share:. 1) cash share--finance from the Redevelopment Bond Fund; and ,2),Model Cities has agreed to furnish a portion of the local contribution from Model Cities Supplement Funds.'' Mr. Wiggins moved for the adoption of Resolution No. 374, subject to Common Council approval and Commission Legal counsel approval, seconded by Rev. Williams,, and carried unanim usly. b Consultants' Recommendations on Downtown Urban Renewal Project, In R-66: The original panning team for the Downtown Project was requested to meet with the Redevelopment Commissioners in a two -day Conference, August 10th and 1lth,' to discuss possible changes in the original renewal plan- -these consultants being: - 5- CONSULTANTS' RECOMMENDA- TIONS-APPROVED & MEETING TO BE.CALLED FOR CONSULTA- TION, R -66 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont'd) 1) Dr. Edwin M. Rams, Urban Research Associates, — Washington, D. C.' 2) Mr. Robert P. Werner, City Planning Associates, Inc., Mishawaka, Indiana. 3) Mr. Paul Finfer, Paul Finfer Associates', Chicago, Illinois. Mr. E ans Woollen, Woollen Associates, Indianapolis, Indiana, Cultu al Center designer, was also invited and attended this onference. The following represents the findings and recommendations of the consultant team based upon their review of the currerit status of the South Bend Central Downtown Renewal Program: 1. he over -all objectives for the redevelopment of the �entral Downtown Area t is our opinion that the proposals for the redevelop- ent of the Central Downtown Area create a more coercive, iable and functional core area for the community in erms of the changing roll of South Bend in order to i'n- ure that South Bend remains competitive, attractive, and an assume its rightful roll as the urban center of ichiana. 2. Jhe Cultural Center review was made of the land area requirements for the'' ultural Center. It is our opinion that the initial con - ept remains valid and that the approximately eleven 0 1) cres, originally allocated for the Cultural Center site, hould remain reserved for that purpose. Based upon a eview of space and area requirements for the Cultural enter with the architect retained for the design of the enter - -Mr. Evans Woollen, who was in attendance at, the eeting - -it is re- affirmed that'the minimum space needs or the Cultural Center are those as originally delineated n the plan developed and approved by City Council approxi- ately four years ago- -1967. Any attempt in reduction of he land area for the Cultural Center would necessitate ncreased construction costs for buildings because of the estricted site characteristic. t is the recommendation of the consultant team that the ntire' eleven (11) acre site be reserved for Cultural enter use. The design team was most pleased with the ews that the Mayor has, taken appropriate steps to pur- hase an initial portion of this eleven acre site and to rovide the opportunity for construction of the essential ortion of the Cultural Center Complex. The remainder H A BUSINESS (Cont'd the eleven` 0 1) acre Cultural Center site should be eloped in stages. 3. (Pedestrian access to the Cultural Center he conclusion of the consultant team is that the primary access to the Cultural Center across St. Joseph Street from the Mall area should be at grade crossings at key points to be coordinated with the over -all devleopment of the Cultural Center., In discussions.with the architect for the Cultural Center, it was - -suggested that an underpass. connection be developed between the site at the northern end of the Cultural Center and the Mall area. 4. Parking Structures The identification of sites for off- .s.treet parking has been based upon a total development plan for the.Central area.- The future development of parking structures -can and will be based upon the market demand for such facilities. It is of utmost importance that the land identified for parking use be reserved for that purpose., 5. Surface Parking at Governmental Com lex It is the opinion of the consultant team that no surface parking be permitted in the Governmental Complex.block. There is sufficient parking in the immediate area of the facility available to satisfy the needs generated by the Governmental Complex. 6. Treatment of River Frontage 7. In reviewing the plan, it is recommended that a continuous public pedestrian easement-he developed traversing the . entir -e project from LaSalle gout.h to Monroe; .along the west bank of the St. Joseph River. Review of Plans for Pedestrian Way. and .Mall,Areas It is the opinion of the consultant team that the.proposed .. plan now before the Commission, whJich shows a circular drive within the core area permitting vehicular traffic to .cross the Mall at Jefferson Boul.evard and- Washington.Street, is absolutely in violation with the intended con.ceptf.or the development of the Mall area. The intrus.i.on. of vehicular traffic on Washington Street and Jefferson Boulevard does essentially segment the Mall and ,create ,a series of inde- pendent and isolated areas which would be counter - productive to the concept of developing a totally integrated core area. -7, a Pres i he be be ne C i ty the i resol consu EW BUSINESS lCont'd he consultants, believe that other means exist to pro- ide the same °1 evel of limited vehii'cul ar •access . to the ore without carrying traffic across the Mall area. Of ignificant consideration is the fact that by carrying raffic across the Mall area, opportunities for develop ng major urban spaces to serve the entire community are ost, and would negate development of private.sector con ributions to such development. t would appear.that the .plan now under consideration by he Redevelopment Commission for the Pedestrian Way, re-. uires re -study and re- design in order to eliminate any ehicular violation of the Pedestrian Mall and to pursue he development of major .open spaces within the Mall rea. The re -study recommended for the Pedestrian Way. hould consider intensive Mall development with complete edestrian continuity between Colfax and Wayne and less ntense P edestr.ian Mall treatment for the remainder,of he proposed Pedestrian Way -- specifically the area north f Colfax and south of Wayne Street. /s/ Edwin M. Rams /s/ Robert P. Werner /s/ Paul Finfer ent Helmen said the meeting was a very fruitful one and ieved because of the consultants' recommendations it will essary to call :Mr. -Evans Woolen' back and meet with our ngineer, Traffic Department. The cut -off traffic from tersection poses some problems which will have to be ed. He recommended calling this meeting shortly for tation. Mr. Wiggins moved for the acceptance of the consultants' re- comme dations, and recommended the various contractors as well as people involved be re- called to, resolve the above problems. Said motion was seconded by.Mr. Chenney and unanimously carried. - c. Model Cities Over -All Contract:. The Model Cities Relocation Plan is to provide a series of comprehensive and well coordinated services to Model Neighborhood Resi- dents about to be displaced by,Dousing activities; i.e Code Enforcement, Urban Renewal and public improvement projects. This is an over -all contract with Model Cities, South Bend Community School Corporation and the South Bend Department of Public Parks. Mr. Ashenfelter,said we will have three contracts for one type of operation, and authori- zation for the over-all-contract-was requested, subject to Legal Counsel approval. Above motion was made by Mr. Wiggins, seconded by Mr. Chenn y and unanimously approved. -8- MODEL CITIES OVER -ALL CONTRACT AUTHORIZED 6. ' INEW BUSINESS (Cont'd d.

Cultural Center: Relative to the consultants' CULTURAL CENTER, reco endation on the Cultural Center, Item 6(b) above,` R -66 President Helmen said he strongly recommends reserving the approximately eleven (11) acres originally allocated for the initial concept of the'Cultu'ral Center site and requ steel the Commission go on record this morning for their concurrence, and the attorneys for the Commission and the attorneys for the Michiana Arts and Science Council to work out.terms for an option and monetary consideration. With the.Mayor's proposed bond issue the north half of the Center is already programmed. The Michiana Arts and Science Council believes it can buy the land south of Jefferson Boulevard on a staged basis.' The money for this portion will be from private donations.

He sug- gested a Clearance - Committee. . Mr. Wiggins suggested that we.need'to find a way to be the instigating force.. We need brokers and developers, and need to find away to guide 'them. Mrs. Janet S. Allen, Common Council Member, asked what the delay is in getting the mall buildings re- modeled and getting.tenants in now,,and why this has not been done as a priority? "'If you push for the renovation of the present buildings on the mall, some of these people can go in now or when. they are re-,_.. modeled.

Also, almost all stores are un a ticket validation. Any customer, whether purchasing or not, can get a ticket validation.

Efforts have not been successful. Mr. Wade advised it will take approximately two to three years for people to get used to the idea. Streets are not to store cars, -but to move traffic.
