Amending the Development Plan for the West Washington- Chapin Development Area. Mrs. Kolata asked that the following documents be entered into the record: (1) An original of the Notice of Public Hearing for the West Washington - Chapin Development Area; (2) An affidavit of Carol Smith, Advertising Director of the South Bend Tribune, that notice of Public Hearing was published in that daily newspaper on June 21, 1996; (3) An Affidavit of Lisa J. Andrysiak, Office Manager of the Tri- County News, that the Notice of Public Hearing was published in that weekly newspaper on June 21, 1996; (4) Copies of letters sent to affected property owners; (5) Copies of letters sent to affected neighborhood organizations; (6) A copy of Resolution No. 1436 of the Redevelopment Commission; (7) As of 10:00 a.m. on July 3, 1996 1 written remonstrance was received. There was no objection and the items were entered into the record. Mrs. Kolata noted that the resolution being considered amends the Development Plan by adding one property to the Acquisition List. The property is at 309 -313 S. Scott St. in the West Washington - Chapin Development Area. The purpose for acquiring the property is to make the land available for redevelopment purposes. The Redevelopment staff has been working -4- IL South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - July 3, 1996 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) a. continued.... closely with South Bend Heritage Foundation on a project in that area. They are acquiring the lots in order to assemble a site for a commercial project along Chapin Street. South Bend Heritage Foundation currently owns much of the property they need for the project. Mrs. Kolata noted that South Bend Heritage Foundation has been working with a grocery store and drug store to build a retail center along Chapin Street and this property is needed for that center. Ms. Auburn opened the Public Hearing for anyone who wished to speak. Mr. Stephen G. Smith the owner of the property located at 309 -313 South Scott Street asked if Mrs. Kolata would read his letter of remonstrance. Mrs. Kolata noted the letter as it stated: "This letter is in response to the Notice of Hearing on amendment to the West Washington - Chapin Development Area Development Plan which I received on or about June 19, 1996. That notice proposes amendment to the Plan by adding a property which I own located at 309 -313 South Scott Street, South Bend, Indiana to the List of Properties to be Acquired. Based on my earlier conversations with individuals from South Bend Heritage Foundation, it appears to me that the purpose of the City in attempting to acquire this property is not for any direct public purpose, but rather to make it available to St. Hedwig's -5- IL South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - July 3, 1996 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) a. continued.... Church as a replacement for other Church property which has been taken by the Commission for redevelopment purposes. I question whether the proposed public taking of my property for non-public purposes is appropriate. Accordingly, I wish to register my objection to the inclusion of my property on the List. I am quite willing to negotiate with St. Hedwig's or South Bend Heritage Foundation with respect to this property. However, I do not believe it appropriate for the City to use its condemnation process where the benefit is provided only a private entity. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely yours, Stephen G. Smith. Mrs. Kolata explained that South Bend Heritage Foundation has acquired a number of properties, including some from St. Hedwig, and that she believes that Mr. Smith is correct regarding the purpose in which it is to be used. Where they disagree with Mr. Smith is (where he says) that it is not (for) a public purpose. The public purpose being the redevelopment of the Chapin Street area by allowing this project to take place and to get the new development in there. Ms. Auburn closed the Public Hearing for whatever action the Commission wished to take. Ms. Auburn asked what is on the property. South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - July 3, 1996 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) a. continued.... Mr. Smith explained that the property is a three apartment, two -story white house with aluminum siding. There is a street that runs between Scott Street and Chapin Street between St. Hedwig's Church and the property that Mr. Smith owns. Mr. Hojnacki noted that Mr. Smith indicated that he is willing to negotiate with South Bend Heritage Foundation or St. Hedwig. Mr. Hojnacki asked a question regarding what is the difference whether Mr. Smith talk with South Bend Heritage Foundation or St. Hedwig and not the Redevelopment Commission. Mr. Smith explained that the difference is the condemnation process versus being able to negotiate for a selling price. Mr. Smith asked the Redevelopment Commission if they would like to review the log of conversations that he had with Mr. Gibney. Mr. Smith stated that he had copies of the conversations. Mr. Smith stated that Mr. Gibney approached him a couple of months ago and told him that St. Hedwig's Church was interested in acquiring the property. Mr. Smith showed them through the property, but Mr. Smith's asking price was not what Mr. Gibney wanted to pay. Mr. Smith stated that Mr. Gibney asked him if they could have the house appraised and Mr. Smith agreed to having the house appraised. Mr. Smith stated that the appraiser came back with an appraisal, which from his standpoint was low and he -7- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - July 3, 1996 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) a. continued.... felt as though that is not the way the process should take place. Ms. Auburn stated that she thought that that was the process that Mr. Smith was asking —to deal directly with St. Hedwig's Church or South Bend Heritage Foundation. That they would bring an appraiser in and that would be the fair - market value of the house. Mr. Smith replied: "That's not necessarily how the process for purchasing a house takes place. " Ms. Auburn stated to Mr. Smith that he might think the value is higher, but the appraiser indicated to him that price for the property is not as high as he thinks it should be. Mr. Smith replied: "I could compare that to, if someone wanted to buy your house (referring to Ms. Auburn's house) and they had an appraiser come into your house and they appraised it for —say half of what it was worth and then you were told that you needed to sell it for that price. " Mr. Smith explained that his position is that the purpose is not what it should be. Ms. Auburn asked a question regarding when the Commission goes to condemnation do they have appraisals done. Mrs. Kolata explained that the first step is IZ South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - July 3, 1996 6. NEW BUSINMS (Cont.) a. continued.... to add the property to the acquisition list. The next step is to get two appraisals, then authorize a purchase offer based on the appraisals. The purchase offer would be sent to Mr. Smith. He could then accept or reject the purchase offer. The Redevelopment Commission would then normally start a discussion period, if he wants to make a counter offer, the Commission would be willing to consider the counter offer. Mrs. Kolata explained that they need to get to that point and that there are a number of steps that need to be taken before beginning condemnation. Mrs. Kolata explained that if Mr. Smith never made a counter offer, the Commission can't go to condemnation until they wait 30 days after sending the original purchase offer. It is not something that happens automatically, they normally have a negotiation period with property owners. Mr. Hojnacki noted that Mr. Smith's letter states that he is willing to negotiate but it sounds to Mr. Hojnacki that he has already negotiated. Mr. Smith explained that he had an asking price and at that point Mr. Gibney requested that he take his appraiser through the house. Mr. Smith stated that he had a copy of the appraisal for the Commission to see if they wish. Mr. Smith stated that the appraisal came in at South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - July 3, 1996 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) a. continued.... 60 % of what he paid for the house ten years ago. He stated that since then he has put on a new roof and plywood and he felt as though the house was worth more than the appraiser's price. Mrs. Kolata stated that she did not want to see the appraisal at this time. Mr. Hojnacki asked Mr. Smith if he has his own appraiser and he replied that he did not have his own appraiser, but he probably will get his own appraiser if this process continues. Mr. Smith stated that his complaint is that this is not the way this process should take place. Ms. Auburn asked if once the Commission starts its process —if Mr. Smith decides to go back and deal with South Bend Heritage Foundation or St. Hedwig —can he do this while the Commission is going through their process. Mrs. Kolata noted that he still has that option. Mrs. Kolata noted that this is part of a larger project. The public purpose is the revitalization of the West Washington - Chapin Development Area —not a particular site. Mr. Hojnacki explained that the Commission will go ahead with their process of acquiring this property but Mr. Smith still has the option to negotiate with -10- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - July 3, 1996 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) a. continued.... whomever he wishes before the Commission completes their process of acquiring the property. Mrs. Kolata explained to Mr. Smith that he might want to hire his own appraiser and get his own estimation of the value. She stated that if the Commission acts on this today, they would have appraisals done. Mr. Smith thanked the Commission for their time and consideration and asked if there was an appeals process. Mrs. Kolata explained that there is an appeals process; she wasn't too familiar with it, but there is a time deadline. Mr. Smith noted that he will probably appeal this decision and that he felt that this is not an appropriate action. b. Commission approval requested for Adoption of Resolution No. 1436. Upon a motion by Mr. Hojnacki, seconded by Mr. Hunt and unanimously carried, the Commission adopted Resolution No. 1436. c. Commission approval requested for Resolution No. 1439, a resolution of the South Bend Redevelopment Commission determining to pay certain expenses incurred for local public improvements in or serving the Airport Economic Development Area Allocation Area No. 1 -11- COMMISSION ADOPTED RESOLUTION NO. 1436 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - July 3, 1996 6.
