a. Staff report on disposition of land in the
Sample -Ewing Development Area.
Mrs. Kolata explained that Philip Magaldi,
owner of Bud's Laundry Supply, located at
222 E. Sample Street, wishes to purchase
the Redevelopment -owned lot immediately
south of his property. The lot is
approximately 2300 square feet. Mr.
Magaldi has offered $400 for the lot. The
fair re-use value was set by the
Commission at $315. Mr. Magaldi intends
to landscape the lot for the time being and
keep it for possible future expansion.
Mrs. Kolata explained that about a year
ago the Commission accepted a proposal
from Mr. Magaldi to trade thislot for a
parcel the Commission wanted to buy from
Mr. Magaldi. He never closed on that
exchange and the Commission has
proceeded with Eminent Domain to acquire
his parcel.

The staff feels that Mr. Magaldi is the
logical purchaser for the parcel he wishes
to buy and recommends the Commission
accept his offer of $400 for 207 E. Ohio
Street, contingent on agreement between
Mr. Magaldi and the staff on a landscaping
plan.
Upon a motion by Mr. Hojnacki, seconded
by Mr. Donoho and unanimously carried,
the Commission accepted the proposal
from Mr. Magaldi for 207 E. Ohio Street,
contingent on his submitting an acceptable
landscaping plan for the parcel.
Mrs. Kolata noted that the Commission has
also received two proposals for Disposition
Parcel No. 11, located in the block
bounded by Garst, Franklin, Lafayette, and
Stull. Charles Hayes, Inc. has proposed to
purchase approximately two thirds of
Parcel No. 11 in order to locate a radio
communication tower there. Practical
Construction, Inc. has also submitted a
proposal for one -third of Parcel No. 11 to
construct a 5,000 square foot
manufacturing facility. They expect they
would construct a 5,000 square foot
expansion after about a year. These two
offers overlap in terms of the property they
want to buy.
Mrs. Kolata explained that Practical
Construction, Inc. and Charles Hays, Inc.
are aware of each other's proposal and
believe that they can agree to share the

space. The staff recommends postponing a
decision while the staff works with both
parties to find a mutually acceptable
solution.
The Commission heard a presentation from
both Practical Construction Inc. and
Charles Hays Inc. on their proposals.
Mr. Hayes noted that they have had a
facility in Monroe Industrial Park for
several years. They also have a tower in
the Airport Industrial Park. Those towers
are filled to capacity. There are a number
of new wireless communications about to
come in to the market that will require
additional space. He said they are a good
neighbor with no outdoor storage, no
signage, no traffic, no trash, and a nicely
landscaped lot.
Mr. Smith said that Practical Construction
wants to construct a building for Fastenal
which makes fasteners. They'd like to get
out of their present location into a larger
building. Fastenal would like to add a line
of tools in about a year. Practical
Construction will take out the brush on the
lot and put in some pine trees, keeping
what good landscaping is there. They'll
build a building with lots of windows and
block walls which they believe will
enhance the area around them.
Mrs. Kolata noted that with the sale of this
parcel, in some configuration, to Practical

Construction and Charles Hays, there will
still be a large rectangular piece of
property left for development on that
block.
Upon a motion by Ms. Auburn, seconded
by Mr. Donoho and unanimously carried,
the Commission referred the proposals
from Practical Construction Inc. and
Charles Hays Inc. to staff for review and
recommendation at the October 20
Commission meeting.
b. Commission approval requested for
Resolution No. 1373 related to
acquisition of property in the Sample -
Ewing Development Area by Eminent
Domain.
Mrs. Kolata explained that Resolution
No. 1373 authorizes the staff to send
purchase offers for three properties which
contain houses we hope to move to the
"house move block." The owners of these
properties were all offered the opportunity
to move with their houses. All three
owners have declined to do so, but are
aware that we intend to purchase their
property.
Upon a motion by Ms. Auburn, seconded
by Mr. Hojnacki and unanimously carried,
the Commission approved Resolution
No. 1373 related to acquisition of property
in the Sample -Ewing Development Area by
Eminent Domain.

C. Commission approval requested for
Resolution No. 1374 approving an
application for real property tax
deduction for property located at 2517
and 2525 West Ewing Street and 2502,
2510, 2602 and 2612 West Calvert Street
in the Sample -Ewing Development Area.
(G & M Properties)
Mrs. Kolata noted that this is the first
residential tax abatement to come before
the Commission. In June 1995 the
Common Council approved the ordinance
authorizing residential tax abatements in
residentially distressed areas. There have
been others granted, but this is the first
one in a redevelopment area.
Mr. Beitzinger noted that the ordinance
allows the incentive of a five -year, 100 %
tax abatement which would help attract
development to areas within the City of
South Bend which are either vacant or have
had a net loss of dwelling units, as
documented by demolition permits
Mr. Beitzinger read the staff report on the
project. G & M Properties proposes to
build a series of single family homes on
the above identified lots in the Homeland
2nd and 3rd Additions. The homes will be
approximately 1,036 square feet each on a
full 8' basement. Each home will feature
vinyl siding and come with a stove, range
hood, dish washer and garbage disposal.
A floor covering allowance for carpeting
and linoleum is included and a 12' x 20'
attached garage will also be available. The
South Bend Redevelopment Commission

homes will be built on a minimum 60' x
120' lot that will be seeded upon
completion of the home.
G & M Properties will also be receiving
assistance with construction costs from the
St. Joseph County Housing Consortium
and the Housing Assistance Office. These
homes will then be made available to
moderate income first time buyers. The
total cost of each home is estimated at
between $60,000 and $65,000.
A review of the tax abatements records,
finds that the petitioner was granted a
residential real property abatement for
properties at 1702 and 1706 North Kaley
Street, 2021 North Olive Street, 1934,
1940 and 2004 North Fremont Street, and
1902 and 1903 North Meade Street, by
resolution no. 2278 -95 dated August 28,
1995.
The building commissioner has reviewed
the petition and has found the properties to
be properly zoned for the proposed use. A
copy of the building commissioner's report
is attached.
A review of the tax abatement maps finds
that the property is not located in an area
presently designated as a Tax Abatement
Impact Area.
A review of the Redevelopment allocation
areas finds that the property is located in
In

the Sample -Ewing Development Area,
which is a 'Pax Incremental Financing
Allocation Area, therefore, the petition for
real property abatement first requires the
approval of the South Bend Redevelopment
Commission.
A review of the 'Pax Abatement Ordinance
finds that G & M Properties meets the
qualifications for a five year real property
tax abatement.
The cost of each abatement is 100 % of the
taxes due over a five year period on an
assessed valuation of $12,000 or less..
With a project cost of $65,OOQ it is
estimated that each tax abatement would
save the home owner /cost the city a total
of $7,481.35.
Mr. Urbanski noted that they have built
these homes in other residential tax
abatement areas. The tax abatement is
passed on to the home owner. There is a
lot of interest in these homes in the city
due to a combination of low cost lots and
tax abatement.
Ms. Auburn asked what the profile is of
people who buy these homes. Mr.
Urbanski responded that they vary widely
from young families, single individuals, to
older couples, some with incomes to
$75,000 per year.

Mrs. Kolata noted that the residential tax
abatement makes housing affordable for
low and moderate income people who
might not be able to afford their own
home, and it encourages infill housing
within the city limits.

by Mr. Donoho and unanimously carried,

No. 1374 approving an application for real
