Mrs. Kolata read the staff report on the
proposal. Midwest Machine Products, Inc.

proposes to purchase Disposition Parcel
No. 16 at the southeast corner of Garst and
Lafayette for $12,000. This parcel contains
43,641 square feet, and was offered for sale
with a minimum bid price of $31,650.00.
Midwest Machine Products, Inc. proposes to
construct a 7,700 square foot building.
They are currently renting 3,200 square feet
in Monroe Park and need room to expand.
The proposed building will be a pre-
engineered metal building with masonry
wainscoting along the west and north walls
of the structure. The east wall will have
brick wainscoting in the area adjacent to the
River Bend Hose parking lot. Mrs. Kolata
noted that part of the east side of the
building will not be visible from the street,
so the portion not visible may not have the
masonry wainscoting. The south wall of the
building will be an expansion wall, and will
not have wainscoting.
Midwest Machine is a precision aerospace
machine shop that manufactures bodies,
valves, farules, straighteners, and sleeves for
jet engine fuel control systems. The parts
are all small, hand -held pieces that are
predominently made of stainless steel, using
very small precision computer controlled
lathes. They have recently purchased four
additional computerized lathes, and will take
delivery of those machines, along with
hiring additional personnel, when they
complete the new building. While the
purchase price offered is lower than our
minimum bid price, the staff recommends

accepting the proposal. Midwest Machine
will incurr additional site development costs
related to this parcel that include clearance
and fill of the site as well as curb and
sidewalk improvements and extensive
landscaping. Construction of the building
will take place in 1995.
Mr. Reiner, President of Midwest Machine,
stated that the company does need additional
facilities in order to grow. He stated that
the company would like to remain in the
downtown area.
Upon a motion by Mr. Hojnacki, seconded
by Mr. Donoho and unanimously carried,
the Commission accepted the proposal from
Midwest Machine Products, Inc. for
Disposition Parcel 16 in the Sample -Ewing
Development Area.
Mrs. Kolata asked the Commission for
authorization, if required, to sign any tax
abatement petition that Mr. Reiner might

d. Commission approval requested for
Resolution No. 1346 approving an
application for real property tax
deduction for property located at 3900
William Richardson Drive in the Airport
Economic Development Area.
( Absorbtech)
Mr. Beitzinger read the staff report on the
project. Absorbtech is in the business of
industrial laundering. They have developed
a launderable absorbent product, called
Sorbits, that is a practical and cost effective
alternative for the disposal of material
saturated with industrial process fluids in an
environmentally friendly manner. Their dry
cleaning process captures these fluids so
they can be reused or safely disposed of,
and not landfilled. The project calls for the
construction of a 40,000 square foot dry
cleaning facility on 12 acres of land in the
Toll Road Industrial Park. The total project
cost is estimated at $3 million, with the new
building cost estimated to be $1.8 million.
The project is expected to create 23 new
permanent jobs within the first year,
representing a new annual payroll of
$530,000.
Absorbtech has not been granted any
previous tax abatement consideration. The
property is properly zoned for the proposed
use. The property is not located in an area
presently designated as a 'Pax Abatement
Impact Area, although the property is
located in the Airport Economic
Development Area, which is a Tax
Incremental Financing Allocation Area.

d. continued...
Therefore, the petition first requires the
approval of the South Bend Redevelopment
Commission.
A review of the petition finds that the
project does not meet the requirements for a
real property tax abatement due to its
Standard Industrial Classification Code.
However, if the petitioner's S.I.C. code fell
within the allowable range, the petitioner
would have qualified for a ten year real
property tax abatement. Therefore,
Absorbtech is requesting tax abatement
consideration as a special exception.
Mr. Beitzinger stated that he did a review of
the tax abatements previously granted by
special exception and found that the large
majority were small projects which involved
less than 10,000 square feet of new
construction, less than $1 million in project
costs, and added less than 10 new jobs.
Each of these tax abatement applicants were
granted three year abatements. The larger
projects which received a special exception
were all housing projects, such as the West
Washington housing project, with project
costs of $3 -5 million dollars and, generally,
provided 100 % of their units for low or
moderate income families. Each of those
projects were granted 10 year abatements.
This project seems to fall right in between,
with a $3 million total project cost, 40,000
square feet of new construction, and 23 new
jobs. Therefore, the petitioner respectfully
requests the Redevelopment Commission to
El
South Bend Redevelopment Commission
Regular Meeting - May 19, 1995

d. continued...
approve an application for a special
exception, six year real property tax
abatement.
Mr. Beitzinger did a comparison of the three
different terms of abatement that are
available; three, six and ten years. Since
the petitioner is requesting a six year
abatement, he read that one. Using the
estimated project cost of $1.8 million, the
total taxes estimated to be generated would
be $544,363 without abatement. The
estimated taxes to be generated with the
abatement would be $225,003. Therefore,
the cost of the abatement would be $319,360
over the 6 year period.
James Riggs of the Redevelopment staff
worked extensively with the company to
bring them here to South Bend. Mr. Riggs
explained that the property the company
purchased is the wooded lot immediately
west of where FDC Graphics will be
located. After working with the company
and meeting with representatives, we are
very excited to have this company to come
into South Bend. The company selected
South Bend because of its location and its
access to Chicago markets as well as its
being a gateway to the East. They perceive
that this plant would serve a market as far
east as New York, most of the Chicago
markets, as well as providing some other
existing markets that they had with their
Wisconsin plant. Mr. Riggs noted that later
in the meeting the Commission will be

considering a request for approval to hire
Peirce and Associates to design an extension
of William Richardson Drive. That request
is related to this project. Eventually we will
also be asking for Commission approval for
a commitment to construct William
Richardson Court sometime over the
summer.
Mr. Beitzinger added that although the tax
abatement report deals strictly with this
project, the company is looking at a second
phase within 24 months. They plan to add
an industrial water wash facility which will
require an investment of $5.3 million and an
addition of 60,000 square feet. That will
bring their total estimated employment in
South Bend up to 90 employees, so within
the next two years, they will probably come
back for another abatement.
Peter Trybula of Baker and Daniels was
present, representing Absorbtech, to answer
any questions.
Ms. Auburn asked Mr. Trybula where the
absorbed oil and other waste material goes.
Mr. Trybula explained that a cloth textile
absorbs the oils. The textiles are then
packaged up and taken back to a facility that
Absorbtech is going to build, where the oils
are cleaned out of the cloth and disposed of
in accordance with environmental
regulations. This process takes the liquids
that are usually landlilled, and puts them
into a recycling process. The end products

are often incinerated in a high temperature
application like a cement kiln, or they are
sent to an oil or petrolium recycler where
they would be refined into new lubricants to
be sold. This is a leading edge type of
recycling technology.
Mr. Faccenda stated that this seems like a
great addition to our local industrial
community.
Mrs. Kolata stated that Absorbtech had
presented the staff with a video about the
products they sell and the process they use.
They have won environmental awards in the
state of Wisconsin for this process. Mr.
Trybula stated that the company has been
given the Business Friend of the
Environment Award from the Wisconsin
Environmental Working Group for their
New Berlin facility. The company's officers
told him that their waste water is returned to
the sewage system, and the quality of the
water going out into the sewage system is
higher quality than what they take in.
Mrs. Kolata stated that if and when
Absorbtech does add the water facility, they
will be doing sewage pre- treatment right on
site. The waste products are taken out of
the water and recycled. These waste
products ultimately become useful products
or usable BTU's in a kiln facility, so there is
a second life for these petroleum products.

Ms. Auburn asked how long Absorbtech has
been in business. Mr. Trybula answered
that they have been in business in Wisconsin
for about 12 -14 years.
Mrs. Kolata explained that the Commission
is being asked to approve the tax abatement
application as an exception, recognizing that
it is the City Council that ultimately has the
authority to grant the abatement and the
special exception. The Commission's
approval signifies its willingness to release
the TIF it would otherwise recover if this
property were taxed, so the Commission is
not necessarily passing on the question of
whether the exception should be granted, but
should the Council grant it, the Commission
is releasing its claim on the taxes.
Upon a motion by Mr. Donoho, seconded
by Mr. Hojnacki and unanimously carried,
the Commission approved Resolution No.

the South Bend Central Development
Area. (122 S. Michigan Street)
Mrs. Kolata stated that as of 9:52 this
morning, we have one proposal for the 122
S. Michigan Street site. This building was
put up for lease. The minimum lease
amount was $6,650.00 per year. We have
received a bid from Center City Associates,
Inc. to lease the building for 15 years at an
annual amount of $7,200.00. They have
submitted a check in the amount of $720.00,
which is 10 % of one year's lease amount.
The Commission requested 10% of the
whole 15 year lease term, but that difference
can be worked out later.

other downtown merchants. The west
facade and the west 15 feet of the north
facade will be restored as close as possible
to their original appearance. No fewer than
four retail shops will be developed along the
north facade facing the Hall of Fame. The
north facade will be enhanced as a complete
two to three story facade that compliments
the lines and feeling of the original west
facade. Coordinated canvas awnings will tie
the various uses together and soften the
exterior. The anchor tenant will be Rosie
O' Grady's restaurant out of San Diego,
California, using the entire second floor.
The owner is an attorney who has the largest
collection of Notre Dame memorabilia on
the west coast. The restaurant will have an
Irish and Notre Dame feel which will
include night time live Irish music in the
Pub section.
The first floor retail space will be for small
shops that will enhance the Hall of Fame
and will have strict, mall-type leasing
requiring minimum hours, attractive lighting
and displays, off - street employee parking,
quality signs and lights that must stay on
until 1:00 a.m. nightly. The third floor is
being prepared for office use or possible
expansion space for the restaurant. A
unique option Center City Associates is
presenting to both the restaurant and the
City is to develop an outside seating area for
the restaurant, using the air rights over Osco
Drug. The proposal included a photo of an
infill project in a historic entertainment

district of Thmpa, Florida. The infill
consisted of a two -story facade over a one-
story building with cafe tables on the upper
level.
The goal of this project is three fold: to
enhance the Hall of Fame's potential in
downtown, to create retail space that was
recommended in the 1991 Retail Study, to
generate income for CCA to make it as
financially sound as possible over the short
and long term.
The timetable calls for beginning
construction by August 28, 1995,
completeing construction no later than
►' March 31, 1996, and as soon as possible
begin any individual parts of the project that
can be completed by August 18, 1995.

The proposal requests that the City provide
the following: any required site surveys,
access easement for construction and
maintenance, air easement over Osco to
construct a deck, but not impede mechanical
or maintenance access to their building,
allow supports on the roof of Osco to
support an open -air deck, extend the height
of Osco's facade to 34'6" with windowless
openings for the purpose of restaurant
seating. Upon expiration of Osco's lease,
remove the word "Liquor" from their
facade, provide any required asbestos
abatement, enhance DeRue Court to present
a friendlier appearance to the Hall of Fame
visitor and still serve delivery purposes,

provide a new roof and provide a sidewalk

The proposal also includes CCA
requirements to be included in all retail sub-
leases, additional design requirements in the
total building project, a letter from Mr.
Robert Stout of Rosie O'Gradies in San
Diego, and a picture of the existing
building.
Mr. Wolf stated that the concept in Florida
is not particularly new. It is new to our
climate, in that it finds innovative ways to
make outside seating in a downtown
environment. Baker & Daniels made the
contact between the restaurant owner in
Sandiego and CCA. A deal between CCA
and the restaurant has not been finalized, but
there is a basic agreement on the conceptual
side.
Mr. Wolf also commented that CCA has not
discussed the rooftop seating scenario with
Osco, but CCA has always had a good
working relationship with them and their
corporate people, and would certainly want
to work with them to make this project
successful. It could bring in some customer
traffic for them as well.
Mrs. Kolata asked if the roof of the Osco
building would support the outside seating
area. She said that all those kinds of issues,
if the Commission were to accept the
proposal, would have to be worked out. She

suggested that the Commission refer the
proposal to staff so that the staff could sit
down with Mr. Wolf and go over all of the
points in question, and see what they need to
do to accomplish all of this, and what is
being asked of the Commission, etc.
Upon a motion by Mr. Donoho, seconded
by Mr. Hojnacki and unanimously carried,
the Commission referred the proposal from
Center City Associates, Inc. for the building
at 122 S. Michigan Street to staff for their
review and recommendation.

condemnations for properties in the area
where the new juvenile facility will be built.
