a. Receipt of bids for Parcel 3 -1 in the South
Bend Central Development Area. (Opelika
Building)
Mrs. Kolata noted that two bids were
received by the March 19, 1993, 10:00 a.m.
deadline. The first bid was from East Bank
Partners in the amount of $305,000, subject
to the following clarifications: 1) demolition
of the existing Opelika Building by the
Department of Redevelopment, or deduct the
cost of demolition from the bid price; 2) all
environmental problems with the existing
building or the site will be the responsibility
of the City of South Bend; 3) developer
retains the right to have a site inspection
performed prior to closing to determine the
conditions of the existing subgrade; 4)
subject to developer obtaining financing for
the project within a reasonable time frame;
5) the proposed construction schedule is: a)
expect to have construction drawings and
plans by 7/1/93, but would like to have
outside date of 1/1/94; b) begin construction
of proposed improvements within 30 days of
Commission's approval of plans; c)
completion of construction 10 months later;
and, d) proposal is contingent upon receiving
tax abatement for the project. A
performance guarantee of $30,500 was
included with the proposal.

6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.)
a. continued...
East Bank Partnership proposes to construct
a two -story, 33,060 square foot, Class A
commercial office building. A 3,060 square
foot lower level would house a fitness
center. Mechanicals will be well hidden or
in the lower level. The total project cost is
approximately $3,367,000.
Mr. Charles Clark, Holladay Corporation,
made a presentation and showed a rendering
and site plan of the proposed office building.
The building would be located as far south
on the lot as possible, giving it the best view
of the raceway, leaving the north side of the
lot for parking. They would include a lot of
landscaping. They are working on getting
the building pre- leased.
The second proposal was from The
Alexander Company in the amount of
$1,000.00. A performance guarantee of
$500.00 was included. They propose to
restore the building into a residential
development called Stevenson Mill.
Stephenson Mill would contain 39
residential, one- and two- bedroom
apartments. Renovation and restoration will
be done in accordance with Historic
Preservation standards. They will require
the City of South Bend to participate through
tax abatement, TIF improvements, and gap

financing, such as a 0% interest CDBG loan.
The project is expected to receive low
income tax credits, therefore a portion ( 40 %
- 50%) of the apartments will be reserved
for low to moderate income families. A
typical unit will have a modern kitchen with
appliances, central air conditioning, track
and indirect lighting, mini- blinds, elevators,
laundry facilities, and security locked
entrances with intercom entry systems. The
site will provide off - street parking for
residents and will be extensively landscaped.
The total project cost is estimated at
$3,195,000.
They expect approval of their low income
housing tax credit application in March
1993. Contingent on that approval, they
would close on the property in May, begin
construction in June 1993, and complete
construction in June 1994.
Mr. Rich Arneson noted that The Alexander
Company primarily does historic
renovations, completing over $60,000,000 of
historic renovations in the last five years.
Ms. Auburn asked about the size of the
units. Mr. Arneson responded that they
range from 750 square feet, one - bedroom
units to 1200 square feet, two- bedroom

units. Most of the units will be two -
bedroom.
Mrs. Kolata asked about the rent structure.
Mr. Arneson responded that the low and
moderate income units will rent for
approximately $380/1 - bedroom and $450/2 -
bedroom and the market rate apartments will
rent for approximately $500/1- bedroom and
$700/2 - bedroom.
Mr. Sharp asked about parking on the site.
Mrs. Kolata noted that when we bought the
Opelika Building the site was smaller than
what we offered for sale. In the offering we
included another site we own which is
presently used for parking.
Mr. Arneson noted that they are fairly well
along in their preliminary development work
and have received commitments for equity
and financing. Once they receive the low
income tax credits, they are ready to begin.
Mr. Arneson noted that The Alexander
Company has its own construction company
which will act as general contractor for this
project, but they will bid out most of the
work locally.

Ms. Auburn asked if they would do the
project without low income housing tax
credits. Mr. Arneson responded that it
would be more difficult and they would have
to restructure it and see how it looked.
After renovation, the building will qualify as
a certified historic structure and, thereby,
qualify for historic tax credits, which are not
as attractive, but might make it feasible.
Mrs. Kolata asked Mr. Arneson to describe
some of his other projects which used low
income tax credits. Mr. Arneson responded
that they have just completed about twelve
projects and have had another five that have
been operating for about three years. The
largest one is in Appleton, Wisconsin. It is
a series of paper mills on the Fox River,a
total of approximately 300,000 square feet.
That project was done with 30% - 45%
affordable housing, mixed in with the market
rate apartments. All amenities are the same
as in the market rate apartments. They have
had no problems with the project at all.
Ms. Auburn asked if she was correct that
The Alexander Company's bid price was
$1,000. Mr. Arneson responded that it was.
Typically, a historic renovation of this type
is so expensive that the choice is for the city
to demolish the building or subsidize its
renovation. In this case, a selling price of
$1,000 amounts to a subsidy.

Ms. Auburn asked Mr. Clark if he knew the
estimated demolition cost for this building.
Mr. Clark responded that their estimate was
$125,000. Mrs. Kolata noted that the staff's
estimates indicated a demolition cost of
$140,000 to $150,000, exclusive of any
asbestos removal or environmental clean-up.
Mrs. Kolata noted that neither bid met the
minimum offering price. The bid from
Holladay Corporation in the amount of
$305,000 had conditions which reduced the
value of the bid. Therefore, by law, we
cannot take action on either for thirty days.
That thirty days would expire April 18,
which is after the Commission's regular
meeting on April 16. She suggested that the
Commission might want to consider having a
Special Meeting since the next Regular
Meeting is not until May 7.
The Commission referred the bids to staff
for review and recommendation.
Mrs Kolata noted that since we don't have
any bid that met the minimum offering price,
we can negotiate with any offer that might
still come in.

j. Commission awroval requested for
Resolution No. 1146 approving and
acggMtLmg the transfer of real property from
the St. Joseph County Airport Authority.
Ms. Manier explained that Resolution No.
1146 concerns the transfer to the
Commission from the St. Joseph County
Airport Authority of a parcel of land in the
corporate sites area of the Blackthorn
project. The Airport Authority is a partner
with the Commission in the development of
the Blackthorn Golf Course project. The
Airport Authority felt it was in its best
interest to transfer the land for the office
sites and let us market the property along
with our property.
Ms. Manier noted that the transfer includes
approximately 25 acres of land which the
Airport Authority is selling to the
Commission for $15,000 per acre. Payment
in full is to be made to the Airport in the
year 2000. We intend to make payment as
each disposition parcel in the transferred area
is sold. There will be no interest accruing
nor increase in price for the land.
Although the value of land in the Blackthorn
area should increase in value, the price per
acre that the Commission will reimburse the
Airport Authority will remain the same,
$15,000.

The purchase agreement includes provisions
for the unsold land to revert back to the
Airport Authority at the end of the

Ms. Manier explained that this arrangement
facilitates development by making it possible
for potential land users to deal with only one
governmental unit to purchase land and
allows the Airport Authority to stay out of
the business of marketing land.

by Mr. Sharp and unanimously carried, the

We want the development of Blackthorn to
have minimal impact on the natural
landscape, vegetation, and wildlife. It will
be maintained as a premier business
environment for office, support office,
research, and general business uses in a
natural setting. We want to protect owners
and occupants of Blackthorn against
improper and undesirable uses or
substandard materials. Certain areas with
unique natural features will be preserved as
conservation easements. Development in
portions of the Corporate Center will be
restricted to certain types of development,
namely corporate office uses, support office
and research uses, and general business uses.
Mrs. Kolata noted that the covenants will be
recorded and will continue to restrict the
land when it is sold, so future users will be
required to maintain the same standards.
The covenants also include the creation of an
owners association at Blackthorn. The
owners association will be responsible for
enforcement of the covenants. The
Commission will control the owners
association until most of the land is sold.
Mrs. Kolata noted that item 6.1. is the
development agreement for the Blackthorn
Corporate Center. Ms. Manier explained

k. continued...
that we have been discussing a development
agreement with Venterra, Inc., of Chicago.
They have spent a lot of time with us so far
defining our vision for the Corporate Center.
We propose to enter into an agreement with
Venterra as the developer for the Corporate
Center sites. Under the agreement, they will
be retained as developer for Blackthorn until
December 31, 1997 to market the business
sites. Since they are located in Chicago, we
have asked that they contract with a local
realtor to actively work the local market.
They will establish a local office by June 1,
CW 1993. They will develop marketing
materials, advertise, pursue leads, show the
land to prospects, etc. They will provide us
with written monthly reports on their
activity.
Venterra's compensation is to be based on
the theory that they are participating in this
venture with us and they are sharing some of
the risk. We will pay them from the
proceeds of sales that are made. From the
proceeds of each sale will, first, be taken an
amount sufficient to repay the Commission
its investment in that land. That would
either be $15,000 per acre for the Airport
Authority land, or an amount necessary to
defease the relevant portion of the bonds
used to pay for that land, approximately

$12,000 per acre. The second item to be
paid for from sale proceeds is a real estate
commission. The next item paid for out of
sale proceeds is an amount sufficient to
reimburse Venterra its cost for marketing.
Any remaining proceeds will be split with
the City and Venters each receiving 50%.
This arrangement has Venters fronting the
marketing costs.
Ms. Auburn asked about Venterra's
reputation and how long they have been in
business. Mrs. Kolata responded that they
have been working with us on this project
for about four years. They have been in
business in Chicago approximately 18 years.
They are the ones who first approached the
Airport Authority about developing the golf
course /office campus project. Some of their
members are affiliated with Seay &Thomas
and North American Golf, some are with
M Financial Consulting. They are
involved in a similar golf course /business
campus in Dupage County and have done a
lot of other real estate development.
Mrs. Kolata noted that item 6.m. sets the
value of the land at $40,000 per acre. Mr.
Donoho asked how realistic that price is.
Mrs. Kolata responded that the land was
appraised at $40,000 per acre. However, it
