Park, Phase II. Precision Millwork &
Plastics Inc., a South Bend company,
proposes to construct a 20,000 sq.ft.
manufacturing building on the site. This
building would represent a 30%
expansion of their current facility located
on McGill Street. The company
anticipates an increase of three
permanent employees as a result of the
project. In addition, 13 permanent and
10 temporary employees would be
retained. Precision Millwork proposes
to purchase the site for $74,750,
($23,000 /acre for 3.25 acres) the listing
price for the property. A faithful
performance guaranty in the amount of
$7,500 has been submitted. There was
one contingency included in the proposal
due to existing conditions of the site.
The proposal requests that the
Commission pay up to one half of the
costs of excavation, soil costs or
transportation of soil to the site, not to
exceed $10,000. This request is similar
to others accepted by the Commission
and the dollar amount is not out of line
with the nature of the necessary site
improvements. There is a contingency
as follows: The requested amount of
$10,000 would be placed into escrow at
closing from the sale proceeds.
Redevelopment staff would direct
payments to be made from the escrow
fund upon receipt of proper invoices
from Precision Millwork. The escrow
fund would reimburse Precision

Millwork for up to one -half of the costs
related to excavation, soil costs, or

in escrow would be released to
Redevelopment. The staff recommends
that the Commission accept the proposal
from Precision Millwork and Plastics.
Upon a motion by Mr. Faccenda,
seconded by Mr. Donoho and
unanimously carried, the Commission
approved the disposition of property in
the Airport Economic Development
Area. (Lot 5 Toll Rd. Industrial Park)
d. Commission approval requested for a
proposal from Peirce & Associates for
professional services in the Airport
Economic Development. (Blackthorn

James Riggs explained that this proposal
from Peirce & Associates will provide

proposed sewer extension in the
Blackthom Corporate Park to serve
Nephrology and sites further west of
Nephrology. The cost for professional
services will be approximately $3,200,
this includes unexpected situations and
difficulties but excludes possible
proposals from other consultants that
might be utilized during the design and
planning process.

Resolution No. 1431 approving an
application for real property tax
deduction for property located at 4102
William Richardson Court in the
Airport Economic Development Area.
(Precision Millwork and Plastics, Inc.)
Mr. Hunt noted that Precision Millwork
and Plastics wishes to apply for a tax
abatement for their project. Since the
Commission still owns the property,
we'd like to have the director authorized
to sign the tax abatement petition.

seconded by Mr. Donoho and
unanimously carried, the Commission
authorized the Director to sign the tax
abatement petiton on behalf of Precision
Millwork and Plastics.

parts for industrial and retail customers,
and will also be used for product storage
and general offices of the corporation.
The total projected project cost for the
new building is $500,000. Precision
Millwork estimates that this project will
create (3) new permanent full-time jobs
in the first year, representing an annual
payroll of $60,000 and will maintain
thirteen existing permanent full-time jobs
with an annual payroll of $466,000.
A review of the tax abatements
previously granted finds that the
Precision Millwork and Plastics, Inc. has
been granted a three year real property
tax abatement passed in October 1992
and a five year personal property tax
abatement granted in December 1995.
Precision Millwork and Plastics, Inc. is
in compliance with the reporting
requirements for the previous
abatements. The building commissioner
has reviewed the project and has found
the property to be properly zoned for the
proposed use. A review of the tax
abatement target areas finds that the
property is not located in an area
presently designated as a Tax Abatement
Impact Area by the South Bend Common
Council. A review of the
Redevelopment areas finds that the
property is located in the Airport
Economic Development Area, which is a
Tax Incremental Financing Allocation
Area; therefore, the petition first

requires the approval of the South Bend
Redevelopment Commission. Precision
Millwork and Plastics, Inc. meets the
qualifications for a six year real property
tax abatement.
Using the estimated projected cost of
$500,000, the taxes expected to be
generated by the proposed project,
without abatement, will be approximately
$166,000. The amount to be of property
taxes to be paid is approximately
$68,000. Therefore, the amount to be
abated would be approximately $97,000.
Upon a motion by Mr. Robert Hunt,

approved Resolution No. 1431 approving
an Application for Real Property Tax

leveling, pickling, temper rolling, and
shearing. In connection with the
production operations, the company takes
substantial positions in steel and steel
products for the future marketing and
sale of the same to its customers. Their
project calls for the construction of
45,000 square feet of new space in order
to add additional manufacturing,
warehousing, and related space. The
total construction cost is estimated at
$1,200,000. Along with the additional
floor space, new manufacturing
equipment consisting of overhead cranes
and related material handling equipment
to process steel coils to be added at an
estimated cost $175,000. Steel
Warehouse has also indicated that the
new manufacturing equipment will not be
replacing any existing manufacturing
equipment. It is estimated that this
project will create nine new permanent
full-time jobs in the first year
representing an annual payroll of
$208,000 and will maintain three
hundred and thirty -eight existing
permanent full-time jobs with an annual
payroll of $14,475,000.
A review of the tax abatements
previously granted finds that Steel
Warehouse has been granted several
previous real and personal property tax
abatements. Steel Warehouse has been
and currently is in compliance with the
reporting requirements for the previous

abatements. The building commissioner
has reviewed the petition and finds the
property to be properly zoned for the
proposed use. A review of the tax
abatement designation areas finds that the
property is not located in an area
presently designated as a Tax Abatement
Impact Area, however, the review finds
that the property is located in the Urban
Enterprise Zone. A review of the
Redevelopment designation areas finds
that the property is located in the
Sample -Ewing Development Area, which
is a Tax Incremental Allocation Area,
therefore, the petitions first require the
approval of the South Bend
Redevelopment Commission. Steel
Warehouse meets the qualifications for a
ten year real property tax abatement and
meets the qualifications for a five year
personal property tax abatement.
With a projected project cost of
$1,200,000, the taxes generated without
abatement, would be approximately
$19,000. With abatement, the taxes
would approximately be slightly over
$3,000. Therefore, the amount to be
abated would be approximately $15,500.

completion of the home. The cost for
each new home is estimated to be in the
low $60,000 range making the total
project cost between $900,000 and
$975,000. A review of the tax

Ms. Manier explained that Janice and

The loan documents reference two
properties and that was an error. They
only received financing for one property
and are only rehabing one property.
Some time ago the mortgage was
partially released as to the property that
was incorrectly identified. The Rental
Rehab loan was not modified at that
time, however, the Addendum amends
the Rental Rehab Loan Agreement to
reflect its application only to the one
property in question. Ms. Manier noted
