COMMUNICATIONS There were no Communications. 5. OLD BUSINESS There was no Old Business. 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Staff report on disposition of property in the South Bend Central Development Area. Mrs. Kolata noted that in recent weeks there has been interest in the Dreisbach property for the location of a Social Security Administration office. She noted that the General Services Administration H:\ HOME\ CPHIPPS \WPDATA \COMMSN\030797.MIN -3- $620.00 $1,000.00 $1,363.15 $6,450.00 COMMISSION APPROVED THE CLAIMS SUBMITTED MARCH 7, 1997 AND ORDERED THE CHECKS TO BE RELEASED THERE WERE NO COMMUNICATIONS THERE WAS NO OLD BUSINESS South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - March 7, 1997 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) a. continued.... goes through a bidding proposal process from individuals who are interested in providing office space for federal offices. She noted that the Social Security Administration currently is in that process. She noted that there have been several individuals interested in looking at the Dreisbach site and the Redevelopment staff has met with these individuals and asked them to submit proposals. The proposals were received earlier this week. Mrs. Kolata noted that two proposals were received, one from Mr. Clark Harrison at SSP Properties and the other from Mr. and Mrs. John Gould. She noted that the these individuals are proposing that the building be demolished for the construction of a new masonry- type structure for the Social Security Administration building. She noted that in order to submit a proposal to the General Services Administration, the developers must provide evidence of having site control. Mrs. Kolata noted that this situation is similar to the Bankruptcy Court decision, when both Panzica and Holladay Corporation were bidding on the same piece of land. At that time, the Commission decided that they liked the concept of the Bankruptcy Court being at the proposed location. The Commission liked both of the developers' designs and was comfortable with both developers' AWS H:\ HOME \CPHIPPS \WPDATA \COMMSN\030797.MIN -4- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - March 7, 1997 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) a. continued.... offers. The Commission accepted both proposals subject to and contingent upon one of the developers being the successful recipient of the General Services Administration's approval for that location. She noted that there are differences in the proposals that were received. However, both developers will be held to the same requirements that the Social Security Administration and General Services Administration put on them; in addition to any requirements from the Commission. She noted that in order for Mr. Clark Harrison or Mr. and Mrs. John Gould to submit their proposals to the General Services Administration they must show evidence of site control. The staff recommends considering both proposals today. If the Commission is comfortable with either or both proposals, the staff is asking the Commission to make a decision today to sell the land to either of the developers for this purpose with whatever conditions the Commission would like to place on the sale. This would allow the developer(s) to move forward with their proposals to General Services Administration. Mrs. Kolata noted that no exact date has been given by the General Services Administration as to when the proposals are due but it is our understanding that they are due before the next Commission H:\ HOME\ CPHIPPS \WPDATA \COMMSN\030797.MIN -5- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - March 7, 1997 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) a. continued.... meeting. Mrs. Kolata noted there are differences in the proposals for the property and what was asked of the Redevelopment Commission in terms of participation. She noted that both developers assume they would do the demolition themselves and any necessary environmental remediation. They have both included the Commission in bearing some of the demolition and environmental remediation cost. Mr. Gould bid a set price and has estimated what the costs would be. If the costs would be less than his estimated amount, he would keep the remainder. SSP Properties bid an amount, assuming a certain amount for demolition. If it would exceed that amount, then Redevelopment would get the balance. She noted that both developers submitted a proposal on all the property, parcels A, B, and C. These parcels had a combined minimum purchase price of $253,075, but neither developer proposed this amount. Mrs. Kolata noted that one of the proposals addressed having a single building but didn't address any future development on the site. The other proposal addressed a phase I, II, and possibly a phase III in terms of constructing different buildings on the site. She noted that both proposals are consistent with the fact that if the General Services Administration doesn't give them the award they won't go forward with H:\ HOME\ CPHIPPS \WPDATA \COMMSN\030797.MIN -6- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - March 7, 1997 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) a. continued.... their projects. Ms. Kolata noted that the dollar amount for the sale of the land and the responsibility that falls back to the Commission are different. The exposure to the Commission in one case is capped and in the other case it is not. She noted that it's not as clear, regarding the capped proposal, that the amount of cash coming to the Commission would be acceptable to the Commission. Ms. Schwartz noted that to her understanding, the developers are proposing to construct a Social Security Administration building and that she would like to see the construction of another building on the proposed site within three years. Due to the location of the site and the fact that it would be directly across from the Transpo center, the proposed project would greatly enhance this particular entry into downtown South Bend. She noted that any design should be of a high quality urban design and to her understanding both developers would follow through with a high quality urban design which would be complimentary to the Transpo center. She noted that to her understanding, the General Services Administration building is 13,000 sf and the second building should be, if not close to the square footage of the General Services H:\ HOME \CPHWPS \WPDATA \COMMSN\030797.MIN -7- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - March 7, 1997 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) a. continued.... Administration building, at least 8,000 sf. to 10,000 sf. Any proposal that the Commission would go forward with should be in place by Monday at 5:00 p.m., and a performance bond consistent with the sales price the Commission agrees to must be received by that time. Ms. Kolata noted that one of the proposals did come in with a performance guarantee and the other did not. Ms. Schwartz noted that she's uncomfortable with the idea that the Commission should have any contingent costs of site preparation, including environmental preparation. Any amount that the Commission accepts should be for the property "as is ". She noted that the amount that she would consider would be $75,000. She noted that she thinks the developer should be responsible for any sidewalk improvements and site improvements with no tax abatement. All of this would be subject to the General Services Administration's approval of the project should the developer decide to go forward with their proposed project. She noted the Commission started out with a purchase price of $253,075, then recognized that the site is not one where the developer would go in and use the currently existing building; that there's going to be some cost related to the construction of the developer's project in getting the site prepared for future H:\ HOME \CPHWPS \WPDATA \COMMSN\030797.MIN -8- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - March 7, 1997 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) a. continued.... construction. Ms. Schwartz noted that for this reason it would be appropriate to lower the purchase price to $70,000. She asked Mr. Harrison and Mr. Gould if the Commission was to make a motion to sell the proposed site for $70,000 as is, with no tax abatement and subject to any site work and environmental work being the responsibility of the developer, would either of them consider moving forward with their project. Mrs. Kolata asked if the Commission were to make a motion to lower the purchase price from $253,075 to $70,000 and sell the property as is, would the developer be given a period of time to construct a second building on the site. Ms. Schwartz noted that the developer could be given three years, from the date of the General Services Administration's approval, to construct a second building. She noted that this is a good location and a good project and that this puts both developers on an even playing field. She explained that from the Commission's standpoint it would be difficult to give approval to either of the two developers with two different type of proposals but she would be prepared to put her recommendation into the form of a motion. Ms. Kolata asked Mr. Gould and Mr. Harrison if a motion was made to lower H:\HONE\CPHIPPS\WPDATA\COMMSN\030797.hffN -9- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - March 7, 1997 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) a. continued.... the purchase price to $70,000 with no tax abatement and subject to the developer bearing all costs related to any site work and environmental work, would either of them be willing to move forward with their projects. Mr. Gould noted that he would not come back to the Commission expecting additional funds and that his interest regarding the environmental survey is standard. He asked if the seller would indemnify the buyer that there are no problems with the site. He noted that he hasn't had the opportunity to review the environmental survey. Ms. Kolata noted that in the Commission's past history, they didn't indemnify but did provide environmental information to the purchaser of a property. She noted that the staff has some environmental information but Mr. Gould and Mr. Harrison haven't had the opportunity to review it. She noted that there is approximately 1,700 linear feet of asbestos on some pipes, 2,000 sf of panel board that has asbestos in it and there are some non - friable materials that don't have any special disposition requirements. There is also one more boring that needs to be made to determine if there is a problem coming from off site. Mr. Gould noted that he and the i H:\ HOME\ CPHIPPS \WPDATA \COMMSN\030797.MIN -10' South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - March 7, 1997 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) a. continued.... Commission have the same interest in seeing this particular site developed. He asked the Commission to reconsider giving a tax abatement for their project. He feels that a tax abatement for the project would be appropriate. He noted that he would agree to the purchase price of $70,000 as is. He noted that he would agree to the three year commitment of constructing a second building on the site to a certain point. He noted that the fact that the current structure has been in that particular location for such a long time, a speculative office building in the central business district doesn't make sense. He noted that his objective is to fully develop this site. Mr. Hunt noted that one of the reasons for reducing the purchase price was to avoid a tax abatement. He noted that the tax abatement has a cost with it and that with a tax abatement the purchase price may increase. Mr. Gould noted that the $253,075 purchase price was inflated due to the amount of assessment on the property that attached a huge value of approximately $117,000 to the existing building. Mr. Harrison stated that he disagrees that the Redevelopment Commission can avoid the responsibility of any environmental deficiencies that may be found on the site. He noted that he believes the law is reasonably clear, H:\ HOME \CPHWPS \WPDATA \COMMSN\030797.MIN -11- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - March 7, 1997 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) a. continued.... regarding indemnification, whether it applies to the Redevelopment Commission or not which he is not certain that it does or doesn't. He noted that his bid was significantly higher than the $70,000 price the Commission mentioned. It did include the offset for the amount of money that he was told it would probably cost to demolish the current existing structure. He noted that if they were to be responsible for the environmental work it would probably be higher than the price of the land. He noted to the Commission that he didn't believe that the Commission could escape the responsibility of indemnification and that he is not requesting a tax abatement at this time. He also noted that he did turn in the performance guarantee. Mr. Hunt noted that the Commission doesn't give tax abatements, they can only suggest that to the Common Council. Mr. Donoho noted that if the developers are requesting that the Commission share in the cost of the environmental work that may need to be done to the site, the Commission would need more time to evaluate the cost of the environmental work. Mr. Harrison noted that his concern is with safety and environmental compliance with federal regulations. H:\ HOME\ CPHIPPS \WPDATA \COMMSN\030797.MIN -12- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - March 7, 1997 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) a. continued.... Ms. Schwartz noted that the Commission is trying to respond to a timetable of the developers. She noted that she is prepared to make a motion subject to the land being sold for $70,000 "as is ", with no tax abatement and subject to the developer being responsible for any environmental work that may need to be done. She noted that if the Commission were to proceed, it would be a motion that would permit a letter authorizing site control to be provided to the General Services Administration, subject to it's approval of either of the developer's proposal for a Social Security building. She noted that it would permit the two developers to review the environmental information and if either developer isn't prepared to proceed with these terms, that's their choice. She noted that as a Commissioner she is not prepared to accept any further obligation beyond what federal law may require of the Commission as part of a Contract for Sale of Land. She noted that if in fact there are significant environmental problems that are part of the land that are revealed in the future, the Commission would address them at that point. Ms. Schwartz noted that the Commission can provide a timetable for the developers to respond to the Commission's proposal. She asked the developers if 5:00 p.m. Wednesday would be appropriate for them. She noted that to her understanding, the developers must have AIFN H:\HOME \CPHEPPS\WPDATA\COX4k4SN\030797.MIN -13 - South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - March 7, 1997 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) a. continued.... their bids in to the General Services Administration by next Friday. Both Mr. Gould and Mr. Harrison agreed that they could respond by 5:00 p.m. Wednesday. Ms. Schwartz made the following motion: ► That parcels A, B, and C, as previously described, be awarded to the recipient of the General Services Administration approved project, bid either by SSP Properties or Mr. and Mrs. Gould, subject to the following: • Site control will be provided only if the developer receives General Services Administration's approval for the Social Security Building on a part of that site. • The Social Security Administration Building will be at least 13,000 sft. • There will be at least one other building constructed on the site within 3 years of the date of award of the General Services Administration Social ` Security project, and that building be at least 8,000 sft. • The recipient also will work with the staff to assure high quality urban design and site improvements, complimentary with the Transpo Center. • Redevelopment receives free and clear the total amount of $70,000 for the 3 parcels, "as is ". • A 10% bid and performance bond be filed with the Commission by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 12, 1997. • Until that time, both developers have the opportunity to review any and all environmental studies and reports the Commission has received or has asked for those parcels. • The developer will bear all costs of demolition, environmental work, development, all sidewalks, and other public site improvements. • The Commission will not be recommending tax abatements for projects developed on these parcels. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hunt COMMISSION APPROVED THE DISPOSITION OF and unanimously carried. PROPERTY IN THE SOUTH BEND CENTRAL DEVELOPMENT AREA (602 S.

Mr. Harrison noted that prior to the motion that Ms. Schwartz made, she stated that as a Commission member, they would not bear any responsibility other than what the federal law requires for environmental work. He noted that she left that out of her motion and asked did she intend to leave it out of her motion. Ms. Schwartz stated that she thought the motion included that the developer will bear all cost of demolition, environmental work and development. b. Commission approval requested for Contract with the City of South Bend Community Development Block Grant Funds (Project CD97 - 305 State Theatre Facade Renovation). Ms. Kolata noted that the Contract is in the amount of $267,508 and will allow the Renovation of the Facade of the State Theatre building.
