Midwest Embroidery is a manufacturer and supplier of high quality embroidered and screen printed garments to the licensed and premium industry. Their project calls for the purchase of eight new Tajima multi -head embroiderY machines at a cost of $90,000 each and one automated screen print machine with dryer at a cost of $85,000. The total project cost is estimated to be $805,000. The project will create twenty -one new permanent jobs, representing a new annual payroll of $310,000 and will maintain ninety -two existing permanent full time and part time jobs representing an annual payroll of $1,590,584. The petitioner has not been granted any previous tax abatement. The property is properly zoned for the proposed use. The property is not located in an area presently designated as a Tax Abatement Impact Area, but is located in the Airport Economic Development Area, which is a Tax Incremental Financing Allocation Area. The petitioner meets the qualifications for a five year personal property tax abatement under the tax abatement ordinance. Without abatement, the project will generate approximately $73,009 in new taxes over the five year period. With abatement, the project will generate approximately $12,946. Therefore, the -8- Q D uth Bend Redevelopment Commission gular Meeting - February 18, 1994 NEW BUSINESSCont.)

Staff report on disposition of property in the Toll Road Industrial Park. Mr. Riggs noted that the staff has received a proposal from Toll Road Industrial Partners L.P. of South Bend for a portion of Lot 18C of the Toll Road Industrial Park. Toll Road Industrial Partners is a local partnerhsip affiliated with the Holladay Corporation, a local developer. Lot 18C is a 24.15 acre parcel of land, not currently served by infrastructure.

The partnership proposes to purchase a six -acre portion of Lot 18C for a total price of $108,000, or $18,000 per acre. Although the proposed price is more than twice the Fair Re -use Value, the proposal also requires the City to provde adequate infrastructure (road, sewer, and water) to the site no later than June 30, 1994. The Department estimates the cost of construction to be approximately �' $300,000. However, the construction of this road will open an additional 32.5 acres of industrial land for development (27.5 acres of which is owned by Redevelopment). The Commission is obligated to pay Coldwell Banker (as listing agent) a 10% sales commission if the sale of the parcel commences. 5 % will go to Holladay Corporation as the initiating broker. The proposed project is to construct a 100,000 square foot building to be leased to a single tenant for warehouse /distribution use. The tenant has not yet been named. However, the partnership is working with a national company currently looking at the South Bend area to locate their midwestern distribution hub. The partnership proposal also includes a 5 -year option to purchase an additional 5.5. acres to the -16- uth Bend Redevelopment Commission C%Oiegular Meeting - February 18, 1994 6.

Assuming the Commission accepts this proposal, it is doubtful that closing would take place prior to that date. The proposal forms received as of February 17 were not complete and did not include the required 10% faithful performance guaranty. However, due to the time constraints of the developer, the staff recommends that the Commission `, waive the informalities of this proposal ..r and accept the offer to purchase the 6- acre parcel, subject to the following: 1) Completion of all proposal forms by February 25, 1994; 2) Review of proposed building, site and landscaping plans by staff for compliance with Toll Road Industrial Park Covenants and Design Guidelines for the Airport Economic Development Area; 3) Payment of the required 10% faithful performance guaranty at the time of closing; and 4) Granting a 3 -year option to purchase the additional 5.5. acre parecel for $20,000 per acre with the requirement that the exercise of the option must be accompanied by a plan for development of the real estate which conforms to the Plan and Guidelines for the Airport Economic Development Area; and the developer must, at that r� -17- uth Bend Redevelopment Commission C%Olegular Meeting - February 18, 1994 6.

The staff also recommends that the Commission allow the partnership to begin construction of the proposed project prior to closing, if necessary, provided that they assume all risk, financial or otherwise, and indemnify and hold harmless the Commission, the Authority and the City against any and all claims or liabilities. Mr. Laskowski from The Holladay Corporation noted that their client wishes to remain anonymous at this time. They expect the $25 million project to be complete by August 1994. Mr. Donoho asked if the Commission could give an option to purchase. Mrs. Kolata responded that Jenny Pitts Manier has reviewed this point and approved it. The Commission cannot sell land for speculative purposes. The requirement that the developer submit a plan and have the plan approved before being allowed to exercise the option to purchase is meant to address that concern. Mr. Donoho asked if the land to be under option has already been put up for bid. Mrs. Kolata responded that all Authority- ownedland in the Toll Road Industrial Park has been put up for bid. -18- uth Bend Redevelopment Commission (twxgular Meeting - February 18, 1994 6. NEW BUSINES Cont.) j . continued... The value of this land was set low because there was no infrastructure. The partnership has bid what the staff feels is a fair price for land in this area which includes infrastructure. We had not wanted to put a road into this area without knowing where a developer would want the road, because there are several ways a road could divide the land. We'd rather know before doing it that someone wants it that way. However, once the road is in, there will be other land to the north and to the east ra opened up for development. Upon a motion by Mr. Piasecki, seconded by Mr. Donoho and unanimously carried, the Commission accepted the staff report on the disposition of Lot 18C in the Toll Road Industrial Park, accepted the proposal of the Toll Road Industrial Partners L.P. , authorized execution of the necessary documents, and agreed to allow the partnership to begin construction at their own risk before closing on the property. k.
