Commission approval requested for an real property within the South Bend Central De\;elqpmnt Area. Mr. Hunt explained that the parcel in question is commonly referred to as the Coffman property located in the East Bank on the coiner of LaSalle Street and the St. Joseph Ri -ser. Some time ago this parcel was put on th acquisition list of the Redevelopment Conmission. In the meantime, a group of doctors, through their representatives, notified the Commission that they were interested in the parcel, and were working with the owner on an agreement to purchase the site for the development of an 8- 13,000 square fo t building for an orthopedic /sports medicine center and doctors' offices. The Conmission directed the staff to review the project, and has agreed to allow the project to continue and therefore will not acquire the pr perty. In return the partnership has agreed to certain terms and conditions on how thE property should be developed. Some of those items include giving the City an easement at the top of the riverbank to co tinue the development of the riverwalk as furds become available, limit parking to 60 spaces, applying for tax abatement for three years only if the building reaches 13,000 S re feet, and allowing the Design Review Co 'ttee to review and approve the project Ms.1 Auburn noted for the record that she had a co flirt of interest and would not vote on the U n a motion made by Mr. Piasecki, seconded by .

PROGRES$ REPORTS Mr. Nim z noted that the Commission has completed the acquisition of the State Theater. Mr. Rick Pitts presented some illustrations of the State Theater facade treatment in conjunction with the re- opening of Michigan Street. Mr. Pitts noted that several years ago the Commission received proposa s from several area architects submitting preliminary concepts of what could be accomplished with the Theater. Those proposals range from ground level development comprising about 20,000 square feet of office and ret it mixed use to a fuller development adding multiple floors comprising as much as 50,000 square feet of office and retail space. Some of the positive aspects of future development of the State Theater include its central location, ability for connections to existinc developments, and the sound superst ucture. Some negative aspects to the buildinc include the difficulty of adapting a theater building. The goals of Redevelopment are to Ereserve the structure and facade, continuE the building line along Michigan Street, and bring about future development opportunities. A staged approach to development of this building is proposed as the most appropriate course of action. The objectives to be pursued might include a structurual analysis of the property, including analysis of the roof and drainage conditions to maintain the building, the soundness of the superstructure, the integrity of the balcony, mechanical analysis of the building. We might also look at restoring the -7- COMMISSION APPROVED A CONTRACT WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FOR RUM VILLAGE INDUSTRIAL PARK DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY (CD85 -606) South Bend ftdevelopment Commission Rescheduled Regular Meeting - January 27, 1986 7.

One part was owned by various members of the Toepp family and the other St. Mary's College. The total acquisition price was $128,650. Mr. Pitts reported that someone is looking at the L.
