Commission approval requested for Resolution No. 1618 approving an application for real property tax deduction for property located in the West Washington- Chapin Development Area. (South Bend Heritage Foundation) South Bend Heritage Foundation is developing new housing in the West Washington Neighborhood. They are proposing a new subdivision that makes up primarily the 1300 and 1400 blocks of West Washington Street. Twenty lots will be replatted in order to construct 17 new, single - family homes. Lot sizes on the north side of West Washington Street will be 123.75' deep, with widths varying from 46' to 54.5'. Lot sizes on the south side of West Washington Street will be from 103.5' to 115.5' deep, with widths varying from 46' to 60'. A variety of home styles are planned for the H: \WPDATA \COMMSN\070298.MIN -8- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - July 2, 1998 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) e. continued.... development; however, the majority of homes are approximately 1,150 sf ft and two stories. None of the buildings will exceed 40 percent of the total lot size. Upon completion of construction, these homes will be sold to owner occupants. The estimated cost per unit is $77,790 with a total estimated project cost of $1,322,421. A review of the tax abatement records finds that South Bend Heritage Foundation has been associated with several previous tax abatements. (1) A ten -year real property tax abatement was granted in August 1992. (2) A ten -year real property tax abatement was granted in January 1995. (3) A ten -year real property tax abatement was granted in July 1996. (4) A ten -year real property tax abatement was granted in June 1997. (5) A five -year real property tax abatement was granted in August 1997. (6) A ten -year real property tax abatement was granted in October 1997. (7) A five -year real property tax abatement was granted in October 1997. South Bend Heritage Foundation is in compliance with the reporting requirements for each of the previous abatements. The building commissioner has reviewed the petition and finds the property to be properly zoned for the proposed project. A review of the designated South Bend Redevelopment areas finds that the property is located in HAWPDATA \C0MMSN\070298.MIN -9- M ;1 IL South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - July 2, 1998 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) e. continued.... the West Washington- Chapin 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, as amended, finds that South Bend Heritage Foundation meets the qualifications for a five -year residential tax abatement under Single - Family Real Property Abatement. Using the estimated project cost of $77,790 for each home, the taxes generated over the five -year period will be approximately $10,367.15. Taxes abated over the five -year period for each home will be approximately $7,130.29. Taxes still paid over the five -year period for each home will be approximately $3,236.86. Suzanne Koehler, Development Specialist of the South Bend Heritage Foundation, presented a site plan of the project to the Commission. Mrs. Koehler stated that the lots located within the 1300 block of West Washington Street will be replatted. She also stated that fifteen of the homes would have mortgage subsidies that have been secured through the HUD HOME program.

Mrs. Koehler stated that South Bend Heritage Foundation is working with three builders: Bethel Designs, Garden Homes and Willie's Oakbrook Homes. She presented sample designs of the builders' homes. South Bend Heritage Foundation's new development would be called the West Washington Neighborhood. Ms. Andrews stated that the taxes on these homes would be higher than the surrounding homes, because the homes South Bend Heritage Foundation is constructing will be new homes. Ms. Andrews stated that the homes will be located in the West Washington - Chapin Development Area, so the home owners would be eligible for tax abatement. Ms. Schwartz asked Mrs. Koehler if counseling is provided to the purchasers of the homes regarding how to deal with paying a larger amount of taxes after the tax abatement has expired. Ms. Andrews stated that it is South Bend Heritage Foundation's concern that the purchasers of the homes have the ability to purchase the home and maintain the responsibilities that come along with the home. She also noted that the purchasers of the homes are being encouraged to look into programs like REWARD and Real Services for assistance. Dea Andrews stated that it will disclose up- HAWPDATA \C0MMSN\070298.MIN -11- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - July 2, 1998 6.

Mrs. Kolata stated that the home owners will be responsible for paying a portion of the property taxes even with the tax abatement, but after the tax abatement has been utilized over a determined period of time, the home owners would have to pay the full amount of property taxes on a yearly basis. Upon a motion by Ms. Schwartz, seconded by Mr. Faccenda and unanimously carried, the Commission adopted Resolution No. 1618 approving an application for real property tax deduction for property located in the West Washington- Chapin Development Area.

This is that additional two acres of land.
