Commission approval requested for Resolution No. 681 rede- claring the East Bank Development Area to be blighted and amending the Development Plan. Mr. Hunt explained that the amendments for the Development Plari involve the Design Review Committee and the addition of Parcels to the acquisition list. The Design Review Comnittee is being revised to have a core of five members: the Executive Director of the Redevelopment Department, CitY Engineer, Director of St. Joseph County Area Plan Comnission, City Buildina Commissioner and the 1 member ar) inted by the Redevelopment Commission. To this core, two people will be appointed by the Commission to represent the East Bank Development Area and they will vote on all matters in the East Bank Development Area. There will be changes in the Monroe Park & R -66 plans to add 2 members frcm each of those areas and therefore consolidate these Design Review Committees into one. Also.`if additional redevelopment areas are designated they would have two people appointed to the Committee. Mr. Pitts gave an overview of the parcels that would be added to the acquisition list. He stated that we are add ng parcels 1 -4, 1 -5, 1 -6, 1 -7, 1 -8, 1 -9, 1 -10, 1 -11, 1-19, 1 -20, 1 -21, 1 -22, 1 -23, 1 -24, 2 -15, 2 -16, and 4 -1. Ac_ isition of this land is necessary to further residentia development in the East Bank area. Mr. Hunt commented that on May 23rd the City of South Bend rec ived approval for Section 108 Loan in the amount of $2,500,090.00 frcmi.the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Approximately 50% of that money has been set aside for Redevelopment Commission use in the East Bank Development Area and the remainder of the 108 loan guarante mom y has been set aside for projects in the Central Busine District. It is still possible at this time that we may no acquire every parcel mentioned by Mr. Pitts.

BANK DEVELOPMENT AREA TO BE BLIGHTED d. Staff report on receipt of proposals for relocation of AND AMENDING THE building currently located at 115 N. Niles Avenue. DEVELOPMENT PLAN IBS APPROVED Mr. Hunt reported that we did not receive any response to Dur request for proposals. The request for proposals outlined strict terms and conditions in terms of dis- assembling, moving and reassembling that building in the Monroe Park Industrial Area. It seems that we now have three options before us: (1) to seek proposals that would allow the private sector to move that build- ing anywhere within the limits of the City of South Bend; (2) to have Redevelopment involved in the move to the Monroe Park area on a speculative basis; or (3) to look at it in terms of salvaqe value. We are not making any recommendations because we haven't had a chance to look. at the figures and cost estimates in terms of moving, diassembling and reassembling that building as com red to new construction. I think our initial fee ing is that they are pretty close when compared. At e next meeting we should be able to give you an ide as to what we are goinq to do. It was decided to readvertise for proposals for any STAFF REPORT GIVEN site within the City of South Bend. ON RECEIPT OF PRO - POSALS FOR THE e.
