Mrs. Kolata noted that the affidavits from the South Bend Tribune and Tri- County News were not present at the meeting. The Public Hearing on Resolution No. 1423 was continued until May 3, 1996 at 10:00 a.m. b. Commission approval requested for Resolution No. 1423. Item 6.b. was tabled. C. Staff report on disposition of property in the South Bend Central Development Area. Mr. Eddington noted that South Bend Heritage Foundation has submitted a proposal for developing the Robertson's Building. The proposed purchase price is $100.00. The proposed use is 92 residential units, 80 of which will be affordable. The first floor will be developed for retail use. South Bend Heritage Foundation will form a wholly -owned for - profit corporation to act as developer of the project. Construction will begin in August 1996 and be complete in August 1997. South Bend Heritage Foundation has asked that the Commission perform certain rehab work, at a cost not to exceed $350,000, prior to conveyance of the property. -4- THERE WAS NO OLD BUSINESS PUBLIC HEARING ON RESOLUTION NO. 1423 WAS CONTINUED UNTIL MAY 3, 1995 AT 10:00 A.M. ITEM 6.13. WAS TABLED South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - April 19, 1996 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) C. continued... Issues: 1) The property needs to be rezoned from C- Commercial to A -3 Mixed Use ( Multifamily /ResidentiaUCommercial). The rezoning was approved by the Area Plan Commission on April 16 and will be considered by the Common Council in May. 2) The plans call for a vehicular drive across the Norwest Bank property at the corner of Michigan and Jefferson streets. Arrangements need to be made with Norwest Bank and with the City Engineering Department regarding curb cuts and the direction of traffic. Those discussions are underway. 3) The final design of facades has not been determined. Tests have been made to determine whether the existing brick on the facade can be removed, exposing the original facade. The results of those tests and proposed facade renovations will not be known for approximately one month. The staff will need to review the final design of the facades. 4) South Bend Heritage Foundation will need to obtain an easement from Norwest Bank in order to cut windows into the side of the building. They have received verbal approval, but need to get written agreements. 5) The current plans provide laundry facilities on only the 2nd and 5th floors. The staff would like to see them on all residential floors. 6) The current plans call for six residential units on the first floor. These will face to the south in the area currently occupied by the two -story portion of the building. According to the plans submitted, that space is to be demolished. The staff needs more detail on the courtyard and materials to be used to separate the couryard Sim South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - April 19, 1996 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) C. continued... from Michigan Street and the alley. 7) The staff recommends that a defined list of retail trades, excerpted from the Standard Industrial Classification of Retail Trade, be approved as the required uses for the retail space. Any exception to this list would need to be approved by the Redevelopment Commission. 8) The staff also recommends that businesses in the retail space adhere to the following items: all tenants adhere to uniform hours, matching those at the College Football Hall of Fame; all storefront windows have lights on a timer that will remain on until 1:00 a.m.; interior lighting will be incandescent, uniform in color, and invisible from the outside; uniform sign and lighting parameters; no temporary or hand made signs visible from the outside; storefront windows are to be used for quality window displays; and each landlord shall supply off - street parking for all employees. The staff recommends accepting the proposal from South Bend Heritage Foundation, subject to review of final design and subject to the limitations on renting the retail space as stated. Mr. Hunt suggested that tenants not be required to have uniform hours, but, instead, minimum hours. He also suggested that the hours not be tied to the Hall of Fame. Mr. Hunt also objected to the requirement that retail tenants provide off - street parking for their employees, but thought that the landlord In South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - April 19, 1996 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) C. continued... should be required to enforce employee parking in locations other than that intended for customers. The staff accepted those recommendations. Upon a motion by Mr. Faccenda, seconded by Mr. Donoho and unanimously carried, the Commission accepted the proposal from South Bend Heritage Foundation to purchase the former Robertson's Building, subject to review of the final design and subject to the limitations to renting the retail space as outlined in item number eight, as modified. d. Commission approval requested for Resolution No. 1424 approving an application for personal property tax deduction for property located at 228 E. Bronson Street. (Curtis Products) Mr. Beitzinger read the staff report on the project. Curtis Products fabricates metal tubing and related assemblies for customers primarily engaged in the agricultural and automotive industries throughout the Untied States. Their project calls for the purchase and installation of a Model 300 Eaton Leonard Tube Bender, a Spin Bead Machine, a Delphi Spin Bead Machine, Two Induction Heaters, a Burr Oak cut off machine and a Dickey Bead and parting machine. The additional equipment will allow the company to maintain its quality and productivity, while allowing it to move into new markets.

It is estimated that this project will create six (6) new permanent full -time jobs, representing an annual payroll of $99,830, and will maintain 232 existing permanent, full -time and part-time jobs with an annual payroll of $5,630,932. Curtis Products was previously granted a ten (10) year real property tax abatement on September 13, 1982. That abatement has now expired; however, the petitioner was in compliance with the annual reporting requirements during the term of the abatement. The property is properly zoned for the proposed use. The property is located in the Tax Abatement Impact Area and in the South Bend Central Development Area which is a Tax Incremental Allocation Area; therefore, the petition first requires the approval of the South Bend Redevelopment Commission. The petitioner meets the qualifications for a 5 year personal property tax abatement under the Tax Abatement Ordinance. A review of the cost of the abatement shows that, without abatement, the new taxes would be approximately $47,821 over the five year period. With abatement, the taxes will be approximately $8,480. Therefore, the cost of the 5 -year personal property tax abatement will be approximately $39,341. South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - April 19, 1996 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) d. continued... Mike Wojtisiak, CPA, Kruggel Lawton & Co., explained that Curtis Products' biggest customer is the John Deere Co. The new equipment will allow them to make larger pipes. The six new jobs to be created is a conservative estimate. Curtis Products has been doing a lot of expanding in the last few years, all without public assistance. Ms. Auburn declared a conflict of interest on this item. Upon a motion by Mr. Faccenda, seconded by co, Mr. Donoho and unanimously carried, the Commission approved Resolution No. 1424 approving an application for personal property tax deduction for property located at 228 E. Bronson. (Curtis Products) Ms. Auburn did not vote. e. Commission ratification requested for AEP easements. (Champion Soft Water) Mrs. Kolata noted that there is an electric power line that goes down the vacated alley crossing the site we recently sold to Champion Soft Water. It needs to be moved, creating two easements, one on either side of the property. The Commission has not closed the sale with Champion Soft Water, so as property owner the staff signed the easements so that the lines could be relocated. Mr. Pryor, owner of Champion Soft Water, approved of the new la COMMISSION APPROVED RESOLUTION NO. 1424 APPROVING AN APPLICATION FOR PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX DEDUCTION FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 228 E.

Commission approval requested for Resolution No. 1425 determining to pay certain expenses incurred for local public improvements in or serving the South Bend Central Allocation Area (South Bend Allocation Area No. 1A) from the South Bend Central Allocation Area (South Bend Allocation Area No. 1A) Special Fund. Mrs. Kolata explained that Resolution No. 1425 sets a public hearing for 10:00 a.m., May 3, 1996 to consider an appropriation of $25,000 of TIF funds from the South Bend Central Development Area. The funds were appropriated in 1995 for work along Hill Street. The work was done, but we did not get billed until 1996. The funds need to be reappropriated. Upon a motion by Mr. Faccenda, seconded by Mr. Donoho and unanimously carried, the Commission approved Resolution No. 1425 determining to pay certain expenses incurred for local public improvements in or serving the South Bend Central Allocation Area (South Bend Allocation Area No. IA) from the South Bend Central Allocation Area -10- COMMISSION RATIFIED THE AEP EASEMENTS (CHAMPION SOFT WATER) COMMISSION APPROVED RESOLUTION NO. 1425 DETERMINING TO PAY CERTAIN EXPENSES INCURRED FOR LOCAL PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS IN OR SERVING THE SOUTH BEND CENTRAL ALLOCATION AREA (SOUTH BEND ALLOCATION AREA NO. 1A) FROM THE SOUTH BEND CENTRAL ALLOCATION AREA (SOUTH BEND ALLOCATION AREA NO. 1A) South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - April 19, 1996 6.

Commission approval requested for proposal from Walker Parking Consultants /Engineers, Inc. for professional services in the South Bend Central Development Area. (St. Joseph /Wayne Street Parking Garage) Mrs. Kolata explained that Walker Parking Consultants submitted a proposal to do a maintenance "walk- through" to determine any maintenance needs. A special kind of concrete was used in construction of the garage and we'd like to take some samples of that to see if it is performing as expected. Also, there is a portion of the brick face on the south side of the garage that has fallen off. That is being repaired, but Walker will check the rest of the brick (at no cost to us) to see if there are any more places where it is loose. The proposal is for a cost not to exceed $3,000.
