IN THE SOUTH BEND CENTRAL DEVELOPMENT AREA South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - December 20, 1996 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) e. continued.... Mrs. Kolata noted that the Development Agreement was prepared by Jenny Pitts Manier and discussed with Bruce Bancroft. The Agreement for the Lease and Development of Real Property within the South Bend Central Development Area with Memorial Health System, Inc. sets out the details of the Memorial portion of this project. Ted Foti handed out the "Memorial Leighton HealthPlex" brochures to the Commission. Mr. Philip Newbold gave a presentation and stated that Memorial Health System, Inc. has been involved with three facilities that are merging within the South Bend Central Development Area. Memorial Health System, Inc. currently operates the Health and Lifestyle Center, as well as the Orthopedic Sports and Medicine facility that have been located in the Commerce Center for a number of years. He stated that in their search for a new location for these facilities, they found the South Bend Central Development Area site to be the most accessible and desirable for these services and programs. He stated that their programs and services have been over capacity for a number of years and that they found themselves unable to accommodate all the new therapy. He stated that Memorial Health System, Inc. also operates a program called "The H:\ HOME \CPHIPPS \WPDATA \COMMSN\122096. WN -7- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - December 20, 1996 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) e. continued.... Independent Living Center" located on the corner of Wayne and Lafayette Street. This is a transition program for rehab patients who are not in the hospital. The two rehab facilities treat spinal cord and brain injury patients. Their primary objective is getting the patients back into the activities of everyday living. The patients receive lessons for every day living, such as learning to cook, to feed themselves, and basically they learn to take care of themselves. For the patients, this is a transition back into the community. He stated that the sensible thing to do was to incorporate all these facilities into one common facility, where they could share common services. He stated that Memorial Health System, Inc. searched the South Bend area for the appropriate place to construct their facility. They found the Transpo lot to be the appropriate location for their facility. One of their requirements was to stay in the South Bend downtown area, which is close to many of the services, programs and staff that would serve these facilities. He stated that the proposed facility itself is a four -story building. The first floor will have all the therapeutic facilities; primarily, the Orthopedic Sports and Medicine facility and the Independent Living Center. This area requires a number of machines and equipment that will be used by individuals H:\ HOME \CPHIPPS \WPDATA \COMMSN\122096.MIN -8- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - December 20, 1996 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) e. continued.... who have had strokes. The machines will be used in rehabilitating their backs, knees, and ankles, etc. This kind of facility will be staffed with therapists that work with people with these types of therapeutic needs. The second floor will have a locker room, a swimming pool and a therapy pool. There is a need for two swimming pools, one pool for patients with arthritis that must conduct their therapy in warm water; and the other swimming pool will be for patients swimming laps in cool water. On the third and fourth levels there will be different kinds of therapy areas having to do with everything from routine exercises on pieces of equipment, a small running track, gymnasium space and aerobic space, a community room to teach kids and others how to make healthy choices and live healthy lifestyles. This type of therapy is becoming increasingly the role of hospitals and health systems in trying to keep people healthy and out of hospitals, which should start at a early age. He stated that the reason the facility is named "Memorial Leighton HealthPlex" is because Judd and Mary Morris Leighton provided them with a substantial gift to make this proposed project possible; so the facility was named after these two generous individuals. Ms. Auburn asked Mr. Newbold what is the size of the proposed complex and how H:\ HOME\ CPHIPPS \WPDATA \COMMSN\I22096.MIN -9- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - December 20, 1996 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) e. continued.... many people will be employed in the facility? He stated that it will be approximately 70,000 s.f and that there will be approximately 20 to 30 individuals employed in the facility. He stated that the Health and Lifestyle Center will build up to a membership of approximately 3,000. The membership will come three times a day, in the morning before work hours, lunchtime, and after work hours. During downtime there won't be quite as much traffic on the floors when outside groups are brought in, such as the "Second Winders" which are individuals with Emphysema and Pulmonary disabilities. These individuals will come into the facility after the other members are gone around 2:00 p.m. This group performs aerobics and other therapeutic exercises for their disabilities. This group of individuals will come in at this time to insure accessibility to the appropriate equipment and services for therapeutic needs. The first floor will have appointments that will be run all day. The Commissioners stated that they were pleased with the proposed project. Upon a motion by Mr. Faccenda, seconded by Mr. Hojnacki and unanimously carried, the Commission approved the Agreement for the Lease and Development of Real Property within the South Bend Central Development Area with Memorial Health System, Inc. H:\ HOME\ CPHIPPS \WPDATA \COMMSN\122096.MIN -10- COMMISSION APPROVED THE AGREEMENT FOR THE LEASE AND DEVELOPMENT OF REAL PROPERTY WITHIN THE SOUTH BEND CENTRAL DEVELOPMENT AREA WITH MEMORIAL HEALTH SYSTEM, INC South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - December 20, 1996 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) e. continued.... Ms. Auburn asked Memorial Health System, Inc. representatives when they were planning to start construction. Mrs. Kolata noted that Memorial Health System, Inc. will begin construction of their project when the garage is far enough along to allow for the building to start construction. Mrs. Kolata noted that Redevelopment hired Walker Parking Consultants/Engineers Inc. for design services in the South Bend Central Development Area, at the last Commission meeting, and they have started their design work. She stated Lang, Feeney & Associates Inc. have been hired to do a survey and legal description of the property. They've also have spoken with St. Joseph Title to provide title work to accommodate Lang, Feeney & Associates, Inc. in completing the survey and legal description, which should be completed before the end of the year. L Commission approval requested for Agreement for the Lease and Development of Real Property within the South Bend Central Development Area with Trammell Crow MW, Inc. Mrs. Kolata noted that there are a few ITEM 6.F. WAS TABLED details still being worked out on this Agreement. She stated that she would like to table this item. There were no objections and item 6.f was tabled. H:\ HOME\ CPHIPPS \WPDATA \COMMSN\122096.MIN -11- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - December 20, 1996 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) g. Staff report on disposition of property in the Sample -Ewing Development Area. Mrs. Kolata noted that the staff received a proposal from Memorial Health System, Inc. to purchase a parcel of land in the Southeast Neighborhood to build an Urban Care Center. She stated that Memorial Health System, Inc. is asking to purchase approximately 1.5 acres of land. Carl Ellison, stated that Memorial Health System, Inc. is requesting to acquire a parcel of land in the southeast neighborhood, due south of the Family & Children's Center Building. He showed a drawing of the proposed project and stated that they proposed to build a two -story, sixteen thousand square foot primary care medical facility. This facility will replace services now being offered at the Urban Care Center at 1708 High St. He stated that there are approximately 32,000 medically underserved citizens within the community and most live within the medically underserved area. The Urban Care Center located across from Studebaker School, served, with one doctor on site, approximately 6,000 patients in 1996, in a 8,000 s.f. building. He stated that Memorial Health System, Inc. wants to expand services, but are unable to do so on the one acre site. He stated that they have been searching for a parcel of land to construct a bigger building that H:\H OME \CPHIPPS \WPDATA \COMMSN\122096.MIN -12- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - December 20, 1996 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) g. continued.... would accommodate two doctors, four nurse practitioners, and have the ability to serve more of the underserved individuals in the community. He stated that they wanted to stay in this particular medically underserved area for financial incentatives in doing so, and these areas are in high need of this service. He stated that thirteen or so census tracts have been defined by the government as medically underserved for the last twenty years in St. Joseph County. The expectation is that the population will grow in these projected areas over time, resulting from children without insurance affected by the Welfare Reform and employers who don't offer their employees medical insurance. There will be families who aren't self sufficient, who will need access to medical care. This facility will provide an expansion of that medical care to those families. Carl Ellison stated that this location is located near the Family & Children's Center. It is also on the bus line and would lead to some connection to the customers they seek by virtue of its proximity to both the Boys and Girls Club, the houses of South Bend Heritage Foundation and other new developments. He stated that Memorial has spent a considerable amount of time talking with all parties involved in this proposed project. H:\ HOME\ CPHIPPS \WPDATA \COMMSN\122096.MIN -13- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - December 20, 1996 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) g. continued.... Their proposal is to acquire a parcel of land south of the Boys & Girls Club from the Commission and acquire a parcel of land owned by the Boys & Girls Club in exchange for the construction of the parking lot. The acquisition of these two parcels of land will result in a Mini -Block Six Development (Campus Development). Carl Ellison stated that there is an interest in developing a park to the south and east of their facilities, and that they would work with all parties to insure the integration of the exterior envelope in such in a way that all parties involved would feel as though it was an unobstructed open space tied to the facilities on a nice campus setting. He stated that they are interested in working with all parties involved in the proposed project, City Officials and departments, South Bend Heritage Foundation, and the Boys & Girls Club. Memorial feels that this is an optimum site, state of the art, health center that will serve a number of medically underserved individuals, regardless of their ability to pay. This proposed project also will contribute to the overall development of this area in which an enormous amount of time and resources has been invested in such a way that it adds an enormous asset to the area that will help improve the quality of life for a number of citizens and lead to the redevelopment of South Sample Street. 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) H:\HOME\ CPHIPPS \WPDATA \COMMSN\122096.MIN -14- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - December 20, 1996 g. continued.... Mrs. Kolata stated that everyone is in support of the project. She noted that the staff received the proposal late and wasn't sure the legal description was completed. Mrs. Kolata noted that there are some details that need to worked out regarding compensation to the Commission and completion of the legal description related to the Fellows Street right -of -way. She noted that once action is taken by the Commission regarding this proposed project, that it will probably be disposed of through the Board of Public Works, subject to the contract for development of the property. Carl Ellison noted that they anticipate to start construction by May 1997. Mrs. Kolata noted that Fellows Street between Sample Street and the roundabout intersection will be widened to a boulevard type of approach. She noted that the staff wanted to make sure when they sold land to the Family and Children's Center, that the Fellows Street right -of -way was widened. She noted that when Memorial provided the first set of legal descriptions, provisions for widening Fellows Street weren't included in the legal descriptions. Ms. Auburn stated that they are excited about the proposed project, and the fact 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) H:\ HOME\ CPHIPPS \WPDATA\COMMSN\122096.MIN -15- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - December 20, 1996 g. continued.... that it fits in with the previous developments that have been occurring in this area, the Family and Children's Center, the Parkview facility, and eventually Ivy Tech State College, in a neighborhood that needs these developed and proposed projects and services.
