Ms. Hickey and Mr. Meeks:
In response to your letter dated June 29,
1989, I am pleased to inform you that the
Library Board of the South Bend Public
Lffirary at its meeting on June 29, 1989,
unanimously approved my recc mnendation
th it the Library agree to pay a total stun
of $11,841.53 for its portion of the
is for developing the new "Baer"
kina lot.
The Library Board's understanding is that
yotw Department and Center City
Associates will support before the
evelopment Commission Board at its
nezct meeting on July 14th the
tion that some form of
guarantee be granted to the South Bend
PuI)lic Library, which allows it to
continue to lease the 34 parking spaces
du-ing the construction period for the
Ma Ln Library, which period has been
es:imated to be about 18 months. Its
a royal of the additional costs for
he ping to develop the Baer parking lot
is contingent upon same form of guarantee
to this effect.
We are very anxious to have our Library
paixons start using the lot as soon as
possible as we presently have no
available parking for their use, other
than street parking, and we are starting
to experience many complaints and a drop
in usage of the Main Library as a result
of this inconvenience to the public. As
I #ave stated before, the Main Library

1,200 people every day, 365 days per

is Leming a serious problem for both

more available parking close to the
Library is being used up by the lamer
business corporations. We are hoping
tkAt our enlarged parking lot planned for
the Main Library will alleviate this
gnwing problem once it is finished, but
in the meantime this problem has become
or tical. Please do whatever you can to
the development of the Baer parking
With respect to scheduling any agreements
or contracts that you would want our
Library Board to approve and sign, you
shcxild be aware that the next Library
meetings are scheduled on Monday,
J y 10, and on Monday July 24, 1989,
bo at 5:15 p.m., at the Main Library.
Plc6asa keep me informed about any
de elopmmts and, if you have any
quELs,tions, please do no hesitate to phone
me (282 - 4601). If you would want me to
be present at the Redevelopment
'Commission's meeting on July 14th, please
le me know. I would be happy to be

.s is to advise you that, when we

Feral Partner and one of my business
:ociates was the other partner. New
e Housing Partnership initially
:laded some 25 housing units that we
sequently deeded over to the Housing
elopment Corporation as well as 23
using units which we acquired and
tially upgraded with private funds and
which the State of Indiana, through
:ir housing program, has provided
tal assistance for eligible tenants.
Sui)sequently, after deeding the 25 units
in New Hope I to the Housing Developwmt
Corporation, we sold three more units to
a private party, leaving the balance of
20 units, for which the City (through the
evelopment Commission and the Bureau
of Housing) has approved Rehabilitation
In preparing the updated Title Policy, it
was found that, of five structures that
rexam in the New Hope group, four had
been titled directly to me and one had
been titled in the name of New Hope.
Thcxefore, on the recomy endation of my
the Title Cmpany, and the bank,
the one building titled in the name of
Nmf Hope Partnership was transferred to
me as I am the principal in the
pwtnership. Therefore, all of the units
nmr are titled in my name as sole
proprietor, and we have terminated the
Nmr Hope Partnership.

The Petitioner proposes to construct
thxteen to fifteen condominiums of 1,000
to 1,500 square feet each. The units
will be constructed and sold over the
next twelve to eighteen months.
Construction will begin in July and will
be completed in December 1990. The
p jest will create 6 new permanent full
tine jobs within the first year
re resenting an annual payroll OF $62,000
ani will maintain three full time and two
part time jobs with an existing payroll
of $70,000. The total project cost is
estimated at $1,300,000.
Th property is properly zoned for the
p use. It is located in an area
degignated a Tax Abatement Impact Area by
th B South Bend Common Council. It is
al 3o located in a Tax Incremental
F' mming Allocation Area. The project
quilifies for three years of tax
abitement. Without abatement the
es imated property taxes on the
imProvements are estimated to be
$209,145. With abatement, the estimated
pinTerty taxes would be $70,412.
Thexefore, the cost of the abatement
wotL1d be approximately $138,733.
Mr Bill Elliott, representing East Ridge
Pa-tnership, a limited partnership
cti-rently being formed to develop that
prTerty, commented on the project. He
inLicated that the partnership hoped to
use the tax abatement as an inducement to
potential buyers of the condominiums.
Mr Elliott also noted that the project
was initially conceived as a 20 -23 unit
proj est. At the time of the writing of
the tax abatement report, it was a 13 -15

Mr Piasecki asked about the tax
abitement belonging to the owners of the

designation goes with the geographic
itory. It transfers along with the
title.
Mr. Guentert asked if "corner of Niles

it is not sufficient for legal documents,
but is sufficient for the agenda. There

thit Jobn Freidline is the owner and is
