As of 1987, the vacancy rate for dwelling units in the Area is estimated to be over 16 %. Over 50% of the dwelling units in the area are substandard. Mr. Nimtz asked if there was any objection to the entering into the record the items Mrs. Kolata enumerated. There was no objection and the items were entered into the record. Mr. Norris summarized the the West Washington-Chapin Development Plan. He noted that this is a general plan. He poi ted out on a map the boundaries of the development area, the location of Target Areas A and B which will require the greatest concentration of time and resources, and the location of areas identified as industrial, commercial and housing conservation areas. A draft canprehensive plan, expected to be ready by June 1988, will address the potential for continued commercial uses along West Washington and Chapin Streets, public works, land use and how the 7ent zoning supports proposed land , and means of promoting public safety and public welfare for the neighborhood. He noted that the plan also establishes a Design Review Committee which will be comrosed of four public officials and four neighborhood residents. They will review all potential industrial and c i ercial projects and will serve in an advsory capacity to the Redevelcment Mr. s took this opportunity to express his appreciation to the South Bend edevelopment Commission Regular Mee ing - December 11, 1987 6.

Mrs Kolata noted that Resolution No. 824 contains an additional paragraph, not inc uded in previous confirming resolutions. It reads, "The Conuni.ssion hereby recognizes the need to solicit frequently and accept for consideration the views of residents, taxpayers, and merchants of the near west side neighborhood in the ongoing redevelopment pro ess." Mr. Gilbert pointed out that there was a healthy dose of skepticism from the neighborhood early in the process, but there has been good cooperation from all participants and they have muscled thr uah that. Mr. Nimtz asked if there was anyone else who desired to be heard concerning this Mr. Cronk indicated that he was a property owner in the area. He thought it had been an interesting process to get to this point. He wished that the City had been more sensitive than it had been, but he hoped that would change with the new administration. He objected to some of the Findings of Fact, stating that s buildings are vacant because owners do riot want to rent them out to illegal activities. Mr. Nimtz thanked Mr. Cronk for his ccnrients and responded that during the N th administration there was $500,000 available for that area, but there was no interest by the neighborhood and res stance from certain individuals. -7- South Bend ]Redevelopment Commission Regular Mee ing - December 11, 1987 6.

DEMOLITIONS Mr. Hunt noted that at a Commission meeting several weeks ago, a question was raised about some inner -city housing stock, in terms of demolition of single family hams, by both the public and pri ate sector. In addition, the question was raised regarding what could be done with vacant projerties. In response to that, the Bur au of Housing will give a report on the Homesteading Program following the -9- South Bend edevelopment Commission Regular Mee ing - December 11, 1987 6. NEW BUSMSS (Cont.) f. Continued... Enforcement report. The teading Program is only one way to ass vacant property. Ms. Pat DeClercq, Director of Code Enforcement, presented her report, a sumnary of which follows. A copy of the repDrt in its entirety is attached to the e minutes. Ms. DeClercq noted that Code Enforcement's interest is also to pre erve housing stock. Their job is to ins -ire that a property is not a danger to other people or to itself. Their goal throughout the process is to get the owner to repair the property. When that fai s, their demolition procedure is strictly controlled by law. Inspectors carefully document the condition of a proDerty and the contacts with the owner. When the owner does not respond to notices from Code Enforcement, an imp)rtial Hearing Officer hears all the fac s presented by the Inspector. The own r is then allowed all the time he wis es to respond, indicating what his plais are for the property. The Hearing Officer then makes a judgement. Ms. DeClercq pointed out that 36 houses, 27 garages and 1 commercial building were demAished in 1986. There were 30 houses, 15 garages, and 1 commercial building demolished in 1987. Private d litions for 1986 included 31 houses, 20 garages and 7 commercial buildings. In i987 43 houses, 26 garages and 14 comaercial buildings were demolished. Ms. DeClercq noted that a large percentage of Code Enforcement d litions are buildings that are fire She *ted that the hearing procedure is an Offective tool toward getting the 50M South Bend edevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - December 11, 1987 6.

The remainder were brought into cm pliance. Ms. DeClercq also pointed out that the residents of homes that are demolished are not put out onto the street to fend for themselves. They are required to pro ide assistance to the tenants to rel cate them into adequate alternate hou ing. A number of social service aaeficies assist in that effort. Mrs Kolata noted that Hedy Robinson of the Department of Economic Development has assisted in a couple of relocations for Code Enforcement. She commended Ms. Robinson for her efforts. Mr. Cronk commented on the soft housing market in South Bend, resulting in low housing prices, yet there are many homeless people. The City, however, continues to demolish some of the very homes these homeless could most afford. Ms. Baumgartner responded that she didn't believe they could afford even these, es cially the costs that it would then recPAre to make them livable. Mr. Cronk stated that it would be interesting to know how many of the 386 demblition orders last year were for hones belonging, to old people, young people, businesses, etc. Mr. Hunt responded that very few of them were occupied. Only two of the actual demblitions required help with relocations. Mr. Cronk indicated that his question is why the City isn't trying to solve the pro lem of declining population of South -11- South Bend Regular Me 6. NEW BU f . Co. N elopment Commission - December 11, 1987 ( font. ) Mr. Hunt stated that he didn't believe that the problem was the City reducing the supply of potential low income housing. The problem is finding the money to renovate enough units for the low income populace. Ms. Schwartz noted that she and other attorneys have been impressed with the degree of cooperation and compliance received from the hone owners when they are notified of early violations. That carmot be quantified in a dollar figure, but contributes significantly in terms of saving the assessed value of inner city hou inq stock. from the Bureau of Mr. Hunt noted that the Homesteading Program is one way to address the problem of vacant units. Mr. Leverman, Project Director for the Homesteading Program, and Judi Walton, Client Specialist for the program, gave a summary of the program for the twelve years it has been in existence. A copy of e summary is attached to these Mr. Leverman noted that South Bend was one of the first twenty -two cities to test the program back in 1975. HUD allocates approximately $100,000 each year to the City to purchase vacant HUD or VA owned properties. The purpose of the program is to rehabilitate the properties and put potential owners in them. Applications for the program are scr ened by the Homesteading Advisory Board. A public drawing is held to det r-dne the winner of each property. They must then bring it up to code within one year and occupy it for five years. The program is very popular, with a -12- REPORT FROM THE BUREAU OF HOUSING REGARDING THE HOMESTEAD PROGRAM South Bend Regular Me 6.

The program was so successful and popular that the Bureau of Housing has added a Local Homesteading program of its own. Ms. Walton narrated a slide presentation showing many of the hares which have gone through the program and been rehabilitated. She pointed out how much pride the new owners have in their hares and what innovative ideas they have as the rehab them. 7. elopment Commission - December 11, 1987 ( font . ) PESS REPORTS There were no progress reports. 8.

DeClercq, Director, Department of Code Enforcement Report /Procedure With Regard to Demolition of Unsafe Structures The Department of Code Enforcement has the responsibility through its inspection procedures to ensure that properties in South Bend are maintained in compliance with the Existing Structures Code of the State of Indiana. Preservation of the existing housing stock is a priority for this Department. However, we must be concerned with the negative effect a substandard property has on the surrounding neighborhood, a home owner's financial ability to make the necessary repairs and the requirement that the structure must be mainta'ned in a safe and sanitary condition. Code Enforcement Inspectors spend a significant amount of time discussing rehabilitation plans with the property owner, encouraging completion of repairs in a workmanlike and timely manner, making owners aware of financial assistance that may be available to them and attending neighborhood meetings to address the concern of the residents regarding actions which are or can be taken to bring problem properties up to Code. Approximately 75% of the properties that come to the attention of the Department of Code Enforcement for housing code violations are rental properties. Many of the City's older houses are non -owner occupied p operties. The s ructures which were demolished in 1987 were badly damaged by fire, were properties which the owner agreed were beyond repair or ere abandoned by the owner for three or more years and victims of vandalism. In 1987, 61 structures were boarded by the Department of Code Enforcement in a continuing effort to save houses that were abandoned by their owners. The boarding kept the structures inaccessible to intruders and to the danger of fire. An order of demolition is viewed as the last step, after all other remedies have been exhausted to require an owner to repair his property. The Department of Code Enforcement has the authority to issue an order of demolition only when conditions exist whi h are a threat to public safety and welfare, when an owner has made no effort to bring the property up to Code when he has ha notice and opportunity to do so and when the cost of repairs g eatly exceeds the cost of demolition. I ha e attached some exhibits which give a history of demolitio s over the past several years and would be happy to answer an questions Commission members may have regarding the procedure of the Department of Code Enforcement.
