d. Co ission approval re nested to adopt revised -Non-
Pro it Grou Rehab Guidelines in accordance with
recommendation of Mrs: Kathrvn'Baumgartner.
Director; Bureau of''Housinc
Mrs. Baumgartner explained that we are requesting
the target area restriction be removed from the
congregate home portion of the Non- Profit Group
Guidelines. Two years ago -a provision was placed
in the guidelines that congregate homes would be
eligible to participate in this program. There
are a few congregate homes in South Bend, and we
have recently been approached by Phoenix House.
(A congregate home is described as a special
public home where people reside, not in terms of
a fa ily, but because of a special need. Mostly
it is a half -way house, i.e., drugs, run away.)
We d� not want the program restricted to a certain
areal, but available city -wide.
On a motion made by Mr. Donaldson, seconded by Mr.
Cira and unanimously carried, the request to adopt
revised Non- Profit Group Rehab Guidelines was
approved.
e. Commission approval

Mrs. Kolata explained that Parcel No. 16 -23 has gone

came back with an appraisal amount $200.00 more than
what we had offered originally. There is a house on
the property and the people will settle for the court -
appo'nted appraisal amount.
On a motion made by Mr. Donaldson, seconded by Mr.
Cira and unanimously carried, the requested $200.00
incr ase in the purchase price for Parcel 16 -23 was
appr ved.

quested -for Disposition
e Monroe - Sample Development
Mrs. Kolata explained that this relates to two addi-
tional disposition parcels in the Monroe- Sample De-
velopment Area that we want to officially designate
as Disposition Parcel No. 2 and Disposition Parcel
No. 3.
Disp sition Parcel No. 2 will include Parcel Nos.
16-35, 16 -37, 16 -38 and 16 -39. Disposition Parcel
No. 3 will include Parcel Nos. 16 -34, 16 -34A and
16-31B.
On a motion made by Mr. Donaldson, seconded by Mr.
Cira and unanimously carried, Disposition Parcels
2 and 3 in the Monroe- Sample Development Area were
designated.
g. Commission approval requested for Resolution No.
6.47"_a0pr6Ving the fair market re -Ute ValUe of land
within the'Monroe -Sari le DeVelo ment Area.
Mrs. Kolata explained that Resolution No. 647 estab-
lishes the fair market re -use value of Disposition
Parcels No. 2 and 3. Disposition Parcel No. 2 con-
tains approximately 10,900 square feet, and Disposi-
tion Parcel No. 3 contains approximately 9,200 square
feet. They are both to be light industrial use and
they have re -use valuations of $50.00 and $125.00
respectively. These re -use values are low because
of our plan to vacate George Avenue as well as the
alle s in the area, making access practically non -
exis ent. The cost associated with clearing the four
hous s located in Parcel No. 2 diminishes any value
that the land had. Parcel No. 3 is land - locked.
On a motion made by Mr. Cira, seconded by Mr. Donald-
son and unanimously carried, Resolution No. 647,
esta lishing the fair market re -use value of land
within the Monroe - Sample Development Area, was
appr ved.

ceive bids at 10:00.a.m. on November 20, 1981.
i. Commission authorization requested to advertise for
bids for title work and survey work in'the Studebaker
Corr. dor.
Mr. Horton explained to the Commission that in Septem-
ber we received a grant from the State Department of
Commerce in the amount of $71,000.00 and we applied
much of that grant toward planning activities for the
Studebaker Corridor Project. Two weeks ago we were
givei notice from the Economic Development Administra-
tion that the grant we applied for in January of 1981
was ipproved in the amount of $75,000. This grant is
specifically for survey, title and appraisal work, and
we r quest permission to advertise for bids for the
sury y and title work portions of the project.
On a motion made by Mr. Donaldson, seconded by Mr.
Cira and unanimously carried, the Executive Director
was iuthorized and directed to advertise for bids for
titl work and survey work in the Studebaker Corridor.
j. Commission approval requested for Certificate of
Comp I etion.'for RAHN Properties*II.
Mrs. Kolata explained that we have a Certificate of
Completion for RAHN Properties II. When we entered
into the lease agreement with RAHN Properties for
the land and they prepared their plans for the build-
ing, the building plans were approved by the Design
Revi w Committee. It then is our obligation, when
the Duilding is nearing completion, to review the
construction and give them a Certificate of Comple-
tion if they indeed have constructed the building
acco ding to the plans that were previously approved.

j. continued...
Since we are at that point, Mr. James Childs, as an
architect, has been asked to go through the building,
review and give us a report. The report from Mr.
Childs is fairly lengthy, so I will summarize it.
Mr. Childs' report states that he personally reviewed
the original plans, visited the site, and toured the
building and grounds. He states that: "due to the
magnitude and complexity of the project, a multitude
of revisions have occurred in both the plans and
specifications and ultimately, of course, meant that
the building is somewhat different than originally
designed: Even though the revisions are quite exten-
sive in nature, it is still our professional opinion
that the conceptual scope of the project has remained
unchanged, and, therefore, the structure which is
bei g completed at this time is in substantial con-
forrrance with the plans which were provided to us by
your office and which represent the originally sub-
mitted document."
On a motion made by Mr. Donaldson, seconded by Mr.
Cira and unanimously carried, it was determined that
the project has been substantially completed in con -
for ance with the plans and specifications, as modified,
and authorized the execution of the Certificate of
Com letion.

Review Committee to consist of five people: the
Executive Director of Redevelopment; the Director of
the Area Plan Commission; the Building Commissioner;
and the City Engineer. One appointment was left open
for the Commission to make, and we are recommending
to the Commission that that appointment be made today
in light of the fact that we received our first bid
proposal for purchase of land in Monroe- Sample. We
would like to recommend to you that Mrs. GlendaRae
Hernandez be appointed to the Committee. We also
would like to recommend that'we expand the working

Mrs. Kolata summarized recent activities concerning Monroe

They have gone in and cleaned some of the houses that are
