6. NEW BUSINESS
b. Commission approval requested for
Resolution No. 1594 approving an
application for real property tax
deduction for property located in the
Airport Economic Development Area.
(Cobra Development, LLC)
Mike Beitzinger gave the staff report on
this project.
Cobra Development, LLC is in the
business of acquiring and developing real
estate for the purpose of constructing and
selling or leasing speculative buildings.
This project involves the construction of a
15,600 sf building. The building will be
of steel construction with a glass front and
masonry wainscoting around three sides.
Even though the building is being built on
a speculative basis and no end user has
been identified, Cobra Development, LLC
is actively seeking a manufacturing
business to utilize the building. The total
project cost for the building is expected to
exceed $442,000. Per the petition, Cobra
Development, LLC estimated that this
-8-
South Bend Redevelopment Commission

b. continued....
project will create more than ten (10) new
permanent jobs within the first year
representing a new annual payroll in
excess of $300,000.
A review of the tax abatements previously
granted finds that Cobra Development,
LLC has not been granted any previous tax
abatements, however, one of the owners of
Cobra Development, LLC has been
associated with several previous tax
abatements. The previous abatements
were granted to Precision Mills Work and
Plastics, Inc.
Cobra Development, LLC is in
compliance with the reporting
requirements for the previous abatements.
The building commissioner has reviewed
the project and finds the property to be
properly zoned for the proposed use. A
review of the South Bend Redevelopment
areas finds that the property is located in
the Airport Economic Development Area,
which is a Tax Incremental Allocation
Area, therefore, the petition for real
property tax abatement must first be
approved by the South Bend
Redevelopment Commission.
A review of the tax abatement ordinance
finds that Cobra Development, LLC does
not meet the qualifications for an
abatement due to the inability of the
developer to identify the end users of the
buildings. However, Cobra Development,
sea
South Bend Redevelopment Commission
Regular Meeting - March 20, 1998
6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.)
b. continued....
LLC is requesting consideration of a
special exception real property tax
abatement for several of the same reasons
as were considered for the petitions from
Beeler & Brown, LLC and Davey, LLC.
First, Cobra Development, LLC has cited
the enormous risk taken by obligating
themselves to mortgages with no
guarantee of a sale or lease revenues to
meet these obligations. Second, Cobra
Development, LLC has cited the large
costs associated with this type of
development and their commitment to
AWN continue to develop these types of
buildings in the future. Finally, Cobra
Development, LLC has cited the fact that
there appears to be a need for this type of
development within the South Bend City
limits. The building, when completed,
whether occupied or not, will add to the
overall tax base and will contribute to tax
revenues. Considering these factors,
Cobra Development, LLC is respectfully
requesting consideration of a special
exception tax abatement under the
Authority to Enlarge Real Property Tax
Abatement General Standard. Under the
proposed guidelines established by the
Community and Economic Development
Committee, this building will be
considered eligible for tax abatement
under the Industrial Development City
Wide ordinance and is eligible for three
(3) years of real property tax abatement.
Once an end user of the building is
-10-
South Bend Redevelopment Commission
Regular Meeting - March 20, 1998
6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.)
b. continued....
identified, a final determination will be
made as to eligibility and the term (or
length) of the abatement will be
established. Final determination examples
include: if the end user is a manufacturing
company, the term of the abatement would
not change since it falls under the
requirement of the Industrial Development
City Wide ordinance; if the end user is a
warehouse company, then the warehousing
requirements would be used and the
building would not receive abatement
because the building does not meet the
minimum requirement of 25,000 sf; if any
other type of use is identified, the building
would receive no abatement because the
above identified uses are not eligible for
abatement in this area and if there is a
mixed use, the predominant (50% or more)
use of the building would determine
eligibility for tax abatement and the above
criteria would establish the term of the
abatement.
Mr. Beitzinger has an amendment to his
staff report for this project and it reads as
follows: it has been brought to my
attention that my tax abatement report for
Cobra Development neglected to include
information concerning the status of this
project. A building permit for this project
was pulled on February 12, 1998. State
law does require that an applicant seeking
tax abatement receive approval of the
abatement prior to initiating the project.
Locally we have defined "initiating the
-11-
South Bend Redevelopment Commission
Regular Meeting - March 20, 1998

b. continued....
project" as pulling the building permit.
The developer has explained to me that
they were under the understanding that
speculative tax abatement was not
available. In reviewing the circumstance
of this particular issue, I noted that the
developer first contacted our office in late
January of this year and inquired about
speculative tax abatement. They were
informed that speculative tax abatement
was not available but that the City Council
will probably be considering some kind of
change regarding this type of abatement in
the near future. The developer simply
assumed that their project was not eligible
and they began construction in mid -
February. Now that the City Council has
adopted some informal guidelines
concerning this type of abatement, the
developer wishes abatement to be
considered for their project. It does not
appear that the developer purposely
intended to circumvent any of our
procedural requirements, as they most
certainly could have pulled their building
permit at an even earlier date considering
the very mild winter weather. The
developer has stated that they were simply
under the impression that this type of
abatement was not available and was not
going to be available until sometime in the
spring or summer, but now that there is an
interest in granting these types of
abatements, the developer would like to be
considered.
-12-
South Bend Redevelopment Commission
Regular Meeting - March 20, 1998
6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.)
b. continued....
To procedurally correct this problem, State
law does have a provision that allows the
City Council to waive certain procedural
requirements. The Council has invoked
this section of state law several times
previously (most recently for Tom Ford
with Value Plus Construction and South
Bend Heritage Foundation for residential
tax abatements where the building permits
were pulled prior to receiving approval of
the abatement). The Council will be
considering a resolution on Monday,
March 23, 1998, with the appropriate
language to procedurally correct this issue.
Using an estimated project cost of
$442,000, the taxes generated over the
three -year period total $63,538. Taxes
abated over the three -year period total
$42,358. Taxes still paid with the
abatement total $21,179.
Brian Montgomery and Mark Miller,
owners of Cobra Development, LLC
presented a site plan of their project to the
Commission. Mr. Montgomery stated that
they are involved in commercial projects
with an emphasis in light industrial
buildings. They currently have one
building under construction in the Toll
Road Industrial Park. This is a spec
building for which they are currently
seeking a buyer. Prior to starting
construction, Cobra Development inquired
about the possibility of tax abatement for
this project. They were told that there was
-13-
South Bend Redevelopment Commission
Regular Meeting - March 20, 1998
6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.)
b. continued....
no policy for granting abatements for spec
buildings. Cobra Development believes
that this policy should be reviewed for the
following reasons. First, they are
investing in South Bend by placing a
needed product on the market. Companies
planning to relocate from within South
Bend or those from the outside area may
make their decision based on an existing
structure. A new building ready to be
occupied could make the difference in the
buyer's decision to remain in or move to
South Bend. Second, the abatement could
make the ultimate difference in the buyer's
decision. The abatement could be the
crucial bargaining chip in competition
with other communities. Cobra
Development believes that without the
abatement, it and the City of South Bend
could be at a severe disadvantage. Finally,
Cobra Development has already
committed hundreds of thousands of
dollars in current and future projects.
They are again at a severe disadvantage
with local build -to -suit contractors who
along with potential clients will simply
wait for the tax abatement before starting
construction. For this to truly be a long
term commitment, Cobra Development
believes the policy concerning tax
abatement on spec buildings must change.
They are very excited about the future and
the ability for both Cobra Development
and the City of South Bend to share in the
benefits of their commitment. Cobra
Development felt that it and the City of
-14-
South Bend Redevelopment Commission
Regular Meeting - March 20, 1998
6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.)
b. continued....
South Bend should work in partnership to
insure that Cobra Development and the
City are doing everything they can to keep
and attract manufacturing related
businesses. Cobra Development will ask
the Commission for special consideration
on its current project and to review the
overall policy concerning future projects.
Mrs. Kolata stated that there were
numerous conversations between Mr.
Montgomery, a real estate agent and
herself regarding the tax abatement policy
for spec buildings. The policy was not
developed before the start of construction
of Cobra Development, LLC's building.
Mrs. Schwartz asked Cobra Development,
LLC to confirm that its building is only
15,600 sf in comparison to Beeler &
Brown, LLC and Davey, LLC spec
buildings, which are 23,000 sf, 27,800 sf
and 36,200 sf. Mr. Montgomery
responded that is correct. Ms. Schwartz
commented that if a buyer was looking for
a spec building with square footages
ranging between 20,000 sf and 30,000 sf,
they probably would not consider
purchasing a spec building from Cobra
Development, LLC. She also stated that
she would be voting against the tax
abatement for the reason that Cobra
Development has already initiated its
project by pulling the building permit.
