a. Commission approval requested for
Proposal from Design Packaging, Inc.
for property in the Sample -Ewing
Development Area.
Mrs. Kolata noted that the Commission
heard a report on the Design Packaging
proposal at the April Commission
meeting. At that time the Commission
indicated its inclination to accept the
proposal. They propose to purchase the
Transwestem site and construct a 42,000
square foot manufacturing facility. The
proposal included selling their present
site on Niles Avenue to the Commission
for $325,000, with payments to be made
over a four year period. The staff
recommends accepting the proposal as
presented.
Upon a motion by Mr. Hojnacki,
seconded by Mr. Hunt and unanimously
carried, the Commission accepted the
Proposal from Design Packaging for sale
of their present location and purchase of
the Transwestern site in the Sample -
Ewing Development Area.
b. Commission ratification requested for
submission of tax abatement petition
on behalf of Design Packaging, Inc.
Mrs. Kolata noted that, based on the
Commission's favorable response to the
Design Packaging proposal, she signed
the Tax Abatement Petition on behalf of
the Commission as property owner so
that the petition could be submitted. The
Commission is asked to ratify Mrs.
Kolata's action.

Upon a motion by Mr. Hojnacki,
seconded by Mr. Hunt and unanimously

submission of the Tax Abatement
Petition on behalf of Design Packaging,

C. Commission approval requested for
Resolution No. 1340 approving an
application for real property tax
deduction for property located in the
Sample -Ewing Development Area.
(Design Packaging, Inc.)
AWN Mr. Beitzinger gave the staff report on
the project. Design Packaging proposes
to build a new 42,000 sft. manufacturing
facility on 3.1 acres of land located at
the southeast corner of Bronson Street
and Lafayette Boulevard, which is the
location of the former Tianswestern
Building. Design Packaging designs and
manufacturers corrugated packaging
products. The new building will house
the main offices, manufacturing,
warehousing and distribution operations.
The total cost of the new building is
estimated at $950,000. In addition new
machinery and equipment used in the
manufacturing process will be brought in
at an estimated cost of $175,000.
While it is unknown at this time the
number of jobs this project will create,
the petitioner has indicated that one of
the precipitating factors in choosing the
location in question is to try to maximize
the employment opportunities for the
minorities in the area. The project will

also maintain twenty -six (26) permanent
full time and no part time jobs
representing an annual payroll of
$572,000.
The petitioner has not been granted any
previous tax abatement consideration.
The property is properly zoned for the
proposed use. The property is located in
an area presently designated as a Tax
Abatement Impact Area and is located in
the Sample /Ewing Development Area
which is a Tax Incremental Financing
Allocation Area. Therefore, the
petitions for ten years of real property
abatement and the petition for five years
of personal property abatement first
require the approval of the South Bend
Redevelopment Commission. The
project meets the requirements for ten
years of real property tax abatement and
5 years of personal property tax
abatement under the Tax Abatement
Ordinance.
Using an estimated project cost of
$950,000 the taxes expected to be
generated by the proposed project,
without abatement, will be approximately
$490,000. With a ten year abatement,
the taxes will be approximately
$247,762. Therefore, the cost of the
abatement will be approximately
$242,856 over the ten year period.
Using the estimated equipment cost of
$175,000, the taxes generated by the
additional equipment will be
approximately $17,533. With

X. Commission approval requested for
Amendment to Relocation Pblicy.
Mrs. Kolata noted that the Commission
formally adopted a Relocation Policy in
May 1991. HUD has recently revised its
Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real
Property Acquisition Policies Act of
1970. It now requires multiple payments
to tenants who are being relocated
instead of one, lump -sum payment. This
amendment to the Commission's policy
addresses that requirement by stipulating
how we will make the payments. If we
are paying the household directly, we
will make a 50% payment when they
have completed the move and another
50% payment six months later. If we
are pre- paying the landlord, the multiple
payments will be made by paying the
landlord his share and the tenant his
share.
Upon a motion by Mr. Hcjnacki,
seconded by Mr. Hunt and unanimously
carried, the Commission approved the
Amendment to Relocation Policy.
