Mr. Nimtz: The chair hears none. The will be so entered. Proceed. Mrs Kolata: The resolution that you are considering today, Resolution No. 896 concerns the designation of the Brick/Olive Economic Development Area as im economic development area. As the state law requires, you are to hold a public hearing on this resolution and then act on whether you wish to adopt the resolution or not i South Bend evelopment Commission Special Meeting - October 17, 1989 2. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) a. conTinuea... I eq going to ask K.C. Pocius to s=iarize the proposal, the plan for the area, and then we have attached to the back of the resolution a FirKLing of Fact that we would expect the Comnission to adopt as part of Res6lution No. 896. Mr. Nimtz: The chair recognizes K.C. Mr. Pocius: The Brick/Olive Economic Development Area, located in the northwest part of South Bend, is right at the edge of the city 1' ts. It is bounded on the north by Brick Road, on the east by the U.S 31 Bypass, on the south by the ana Toll Road, and on the west by Olive Road. It is an area which enccmipasses approximately 100 acres, and is zoned "D ". It is an area which is in need of public improvements if it is to have further economic development. At the present time about 40 of those 100 acres are dev sped by 8 separate businesses which have buildings over 100,000 sqjwLre feet. At the present time more than half of the area is and veloped and will remain so unless rxu4ed public improvements are made. The public improvements I am speaking of include the construction of a road, as I've outlined here in yellow, which would basically be the extension of Orange Road going from Brick Road south approximately 1,000 feet.. It would be a three lane, 42-foot wide road. There would be corLstruction of a turning lane fran Brick Road to access that road as well. as an extension of necessary utilities, such as water and sanitary We expect that the economic deve,lopment of this area will create 99M South Bend evelopment Camiission Special Meeting - October 17, 1989 2. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) a. cominuea... new jobs for South Beard, will increase the tax base of South Bend, and will encourage new investment and con,struction in the area, as well as attracting new businesses to the area. Specifically, we hope to at ct a new retail outlet mall to the area. This outlet mall will corm.truct a building of approximately 100,000 square feet. They plan on bringing at least 50 full time jobs to our area and 20 part time jobs. The total investment for the outlet mall project will be approximately $4. 17 million. The hard construction cos will be about $3.3 million. To giv you an example of the amount of traffic that this mall will generate, the are looking at approximately 500 000 shoppers caning to the outlet mal per year and their estimate would be that about two - thirds of these would be fraam out of our coui ty, from a 25 mile or longer radLus. So you can see that there wxxi-d be a lot of outside dollars cam -ng into South Bend as a result of this project. Estimated sales rev, ues from the outlet mall project wou d be, for the first year, approximately $7,000,000, for the year, $9,000,000, and for the year, $10,000,000. The overall cost of the public improvements in the area, the road and the other public improvements we are talking about, would be approximately $600,000. We are h ful of funding this through a grazit or loan from the Toll Road Transportation Improvement Fund. We anticipate that a Tax Increment Rev a Bond would be a fall back if thio were not to be approved.

Ecor cmic Developanent Area, Findings of act: The South Bend Redevelopment Camussion has co cted a study of the Brick/olive Ecoromic Development Area (Area) and has found that the lack of economic develcpment in the Area cannot be co by regulatory process or by the ordinary operations of private en rise without resorting to the Indiana Redevelopment law, IC 36-7-14-1, et. seq. The Brick,/Olive Economic Development Area ("Area ") has been zoned "D ", Light Industrial, for many years. However, lack of roadway access and utilities have de normal development and for land that otherwise is an occ=ent location for Once needed public inprovements are in place, the Redevelopment 'ssion expects that this area will provide a prime opportunity for new private development. The general public benefits of the economic development area will be: 1) The private development of vacant land through the creation of developable sites; 2) An increase in the local tax base; 3) The creation of new employment opportunities for citizens of South Bend. Specific, mea-surable benefits include, but are not limited to, the following: 1) The at ction of a major retail outlet mal , which will include construction of at new 100,000 square foot building; 2) The creation of approximately 50 full time and 20 time jobs; 3) Approximately $4,100,000 of new private investment in area; 4) The private dev anent of approximately 20 acres in the area. -5- South Bend evelopment Commission Special Mee ing - October 17, 1989 2.
