4.Old Business
5.New Business
A.River West Development Area
1.Real Estate Purchase Agreement (The Monreaux, LLC.)
Mr. Bauer Presented a Real Estate Purchase Agreement (The Monreaux, LLC.).
The agreement before the Commission is for parcels on south Michigan Street.
The purchase agreement is contingent on the award of low-income housing tax
credits as a part of the proposed development by Deveraux Peters. The
development is for 60 housing units, 46 which would be income based and 14 at
market rate. The development would include commercial space and some live
workspace. This would be a four-story building. An application for tax credits was
filed to IHCDA and the developer expects to hear back in November 2022.
Commission approval is requested.
Deveraux Peters, developer states they have been working on this project for a
few years. Ms. Peters went to the University of Notre Dame and wanted to give
back to the community. Working with the city on this project, we wanted to create
a catalyst of redevelopment for that area of downtown and push further
development in the area and they felt they could do this by providing mixed
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting – July 14, 2022
income and a mixed-use building. They wanted to create a building that fit in the
area and paid attention to design. They will include a fitness center, business
center, parking deck and walking path for the tenants. They wanted to provide an
entrepreneurial community with artists and things of nature while also giving it a
commercial feel.
Mr. Bauer states the purchase price would be $1,000. The average appraisal is
$176,000 and this will go to support the tax credit.
Commissioner Wax asked if a tax abatement would be applied for?
Mr. Bauer stated yes along with a development agreement.
Commissioner Wax asked what the development agreement would entail.
Mr. Bauer noted it would potentially entail a TIF contribution to support the project
and that it might look to be in the range of $1M to $1.5M but is contingent on the
tax credits.
Councilmember Wax asked what the total estimate of the project?
Mr. Bauer replied approximately $17M but deferred to Devereaux Peters.
Ms. Peters stated just under $17M.
Councilmember Wax stated the city would provide 5% to 10%.
Mr. Molnar states that the development agreement stipulates a minimum of $16M
in investment and the developer is above that number.
Secretary Warner asked how many developers applied for the tax credit?
Mr. Bauer states three applied in this category and there is one other development
in a separate tax credit category that related to an integrated permanent
supportive housing. Real America Diamond View project, Marquette School and
this project.
Secretary Warner inquired about Real America and Marquette School 2nd attempt
at the tax credits.
Mr. Bauer states that yes, those projects were waitlisted last year and that was the
first time IHCDA had ever had a waitlist because they contemplated if additional
federal funding would be available then they would be able to fund the waitlisted
projects.
Secretary Wax thanked Ms. Peters for her investment in the community and taking
this step forward. We have a shortage of housing and I want to thank you for the
work you have done so far and wish you the best of luck hoping there is success
for the project.
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting – July 14, 2022
Upon a motion by Secretary Warner, seconded by Commissioner Sallie, the
motion carried unanimously, the Commission approved Real Estate Purchase
Agreement (The Monreaux, LLC.) submitted on Thursday, July 14, 2022.
2.Assignment and Assumption (Bear Brew, LLC.)
Mr. Bauer Presented Assignment and Assumption (Bear Brew, LLC.) This item is
related to Bare Hands brewing redevelopment at the former Gates automotive
site. The first piece is an assignment and assumption agreement that would
assign the existing development agreement from 410 West Wayne Street LLC to
Bear Brew, LLC. The principle of Bear Brew, LLC is Chris Gerard but the change
stems from Jim Priebe no longer a member of the LLC. Commission approval is
requested.
Commissioner Wax asked what the date of default was?
Mr. Molnar stated March 31, 2022.
Commissioner Wax asked if the city has taken steps to give the notice of default.
Commissioner Wax asked without amending the agreement what is the status in
default and is this still the belief of the city that this is the best option for the
property.
Mr. Bauer states we believe that the project is according to the owner, imminently
prepared to move forward and so we do believe if the development meets the
timelines, it is the best use. If they are not met, we do plan on taking back the
property.
President Jones asked if anyone else has been interested in the property?
Mr. Bauer states that yes there are other interested parties, but no formal
meetings have taken place.
Secretary Warner asked what sparks the belief that progress is eminent, when he
drives past the building the sign states coming soon in 2018. He understands the
COVID period and understands change in ownership.
Mr. Bauer states the owner does have finances in place to move forward. In Mr.
Bauer’s opinion, we will know by September 1, 2022, if the developer intends to
move forward on the project.
Commissioner Sallie stated since we can participate electronically, it would be
nice, in the future, if the developer could join the meeting and notes that if would
show commitment to the project.
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting – July 14, 2022
Upon a motion by Commissioner Wax, seconded by Vice-President Inks, the
motion carried unanimously, the Commission approved Assignment and
Assumption (Bear Brew, LLC.) submitted on Thursday, July 14, 2022.
3.Sixth Amendment to Real Estate Purchase Agreement (Bear Brew, LLC.)
Mr. Bauer Presented Sixth Amendment to Real Estate Purchase Agreement (Bear
Brew, LLC.). This request updates the agreement and sets up a commencement
date for construction to begin no later than September 1, 2022. It also adds a
completed rough inspection deadline of February 1, 2023, with a project
completion on September 1, 2023. There is no change to the minimum
investment for the previously amended agreement of a minimum investment of
$455,828. Mr. Gerard had intended on being present but had a family illness.
Commission approval is requested.
Upon a motion by Commissioner Wax, seconded by Vice-President Inks, the
motion carried unanimously, the Commission approved Sixth Amendment to
Real Estate Purchase Agreement (Bear Brew, LLC.) submitted on Thursday,
July 14, 2022.
B.Douglas Road Development Area
1.Budget Request (Douglas Road Development Area)
Ms. Althoff Presented a Budget Request (Douglas Road Development Area). This
is a budget request in the amount of $30,594.13 to repay the obligation for the
sewer rehab capital account at this location and the replacement of the Douglas
Road lift station. Once paid this is the final payment for the program. Commission
approval is requested.
Upon a motion by Vice-President Inks, seconded by Secretary Warner, the
motion carried unanimously, the Commission approved Budget Request
(Douglas Road Development Area) submitted on Thursday, July 14, 2022.
6.Progress Reports
A.Tax Abatement
1.Mr. Bauer stated that Council approved and extension of the designation
period on a personal property tax abatement for Toyo Seiko North America.
They had some shipping costs that impacted the acquisition of new
equipment. They still intended to make the purchase. This designation
period has been extended for two years with the abatement. In addition,
the Council approved a waiver of non-compliance on a real property tax
abatement. They have met their investment commitments but had failed to
file the appropriate forms with the St. Joseph County auditor’s office.
B.Common Council
C.Other
1.Board Secretary Brazinsky gave an update per the last meeting request
regarding public participation and moving of the meeting times from 9:30
a.m. It was noted from July 2019 to December 31, 2019, the meeting time
was moved to 4:30 pm. to receive greater public participation and the
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting – July 14, 2022
Redevelopment Commission noted that they had less participation from the
public during those six months. In June of 2012 to December 31, 2012, the
meeting time was moved to 4:00 p.m. for better public participation and it
was noted that there was less public participation.
2.Mr. Barrett, resident asked for an update on the various Matthews
redevelopment agreement questions he had.
Ms. Kennedy stated we entered into an agreement with Mr. Matthews in
2016. This was co-dependent on the Regional Development Authority
agreement. The two are directly linked by the terms. Since RDA extended
their agreement, we are obligated to extend our deadline to December 31,
2022.
Mr. Barrett states that the agreement is 13 months in breach. The city took
no action on a breach.
Ms. Kennedy states that we are obliged to follow the agreement and terms
of the RDA. The city feels it is in the best interest of our residents to have a
grocery store in that location than it is to fight with Mr. Matthews over it. We
will work with Mr. Matthews to make sure that this happens as there is
somewhat of a food desert in the area. The city and council have
authorized giving Mr. Matthews a certain dollar amount to help this to
happen.
Ms. Kennedy answered another of Mr. Barrett’s questions regarding Mr.
Matthews overdue water bill. In 2020/2021 there was a moratorium on
water shutoffs. A lot of people were not paying their water bill. They also
were not having the water shut off. There is an outstanding bill with Mr.
Matthews that is a fraction of the $250k that Mr. Barrett stated. Water
shutoffs have recommenced as of June/July of this year. If he has an
outstanding water bill, the process of water shutoffs will be followed up by
the water works department.
Mr. Barrett states that also breaches the agreement.
Ms. Kennedy states it does not because it is a utility, which is a separate
section of the city. He has to abide by all laws in the contract and the
Redevelopment Commission does not control the utilities.
Mr. Barrett states that the developer agrees to pay all costs.
Ms. Kennedy states that is all cost of construction.
Ms. Kennedy replied to Mr. Barrett’s question regarding the Niles and
Jefferson parking lot. This item is being addressed by the zoning
department. That department will review this and look into fining Mr.
Matthews on a weekly basis, as permitted. When it gets to a certain
amount, it will go through the court system.
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting – July 14, 2022
Mr. Barrett asked what is the amount?
Mr. Bauer answered that his two violations for the site are at approximately
$40k.
Mr. Barrett asked about the removal of the paved parking lot on the site at
the time of the Redevelopment agreement. He stated that there was a
paved parking lot over a substantial portion of the corner lot which had been
removed during construction. There was a notice of default sent in
September.
Ms. Kennedy responded that the agreement has expired. The city had not
acted on that for ten years and we do not feel we are in a strong legal
position to act on it after a ten-year period. We are working with Mr.
Matthews through other avenues.
Mr. Barrett asked about Sycamore.
Ms. Kennedy replied that is part of the Regional Development Authority
agreement. Mr. Matthews is obligated to finish that by December 31, 2022.
Mr. Barrett states that he understands that the RDA stated it was not
necessary for him to complete that as it was part of the amendment. So,
since the Redevelopment agreement with the city on 228 Sycamore he
purchased the property for approximately$8,000 that was appraised at
$33,000. That agreement has never been commended by the
Redevelopment Commission.
Ms. Kennedy stated that she was not aware of the agreement and her
guess is that it is over ten years old and was not acted upon. We can only
speak to what we would do now, and I don’t think this board/Commission
and staff would stand for this. Ms. Kennedy states that Mr. Barrett was
present in a previous meeting with the list of agreements Mr. Molnar will be
acting on that are out of compliance such as the Bare Hands agreement.
This is the sort of action we intend to take with future developers. As far as
the last 10 to 20 years, I am sorry.
Mr. Barrett states that he noticed that the press is in attendance, and it
seems the only remedy is to take Mr. Matthews story public on default of his
three agreements.
Mr. Bauer states there are remedies to the 300 E LaSalle agreement is in
place and we expect compliance with the new deadline set by the RDA. In
addition, zoning violations are being levied weekly.
Mr. Barrett wants to know how an agreement on the corner of Niles and
Jefferson, where a parking lot that was paved is now removed and the
property that was listed for redevelopment in 2019 within the 10-year
development agreement.
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting – July 14, 2022
Mr. Bauer responded that he believes that there could have been
enforcement on that agreement in the past, but it lacked enforcement over
the past few years. With the advice received from legal counsel, it would
not be wise to use taxpayer dollars to pursue litigation in this case.
Mr. Barrett asked is there any reporting from the written contract in the 2016
agreement?
Mr. Bauer states that it is a past failure of the staff in submitting a semi-
annual report in line with development agreements. Going forward, Mr.
Molnar will be present a semi-annual report for review with the expectations
moving forward.
Mr. Barrett asked if an invitation was extended to Mr. Matthews to speak to
the Redevelopment Commission?
Mr. Bauer notes that an invitation was extended but Mr. Matthews has not
provided a date of appearance.
The meeting was adjourned with no further questions.

FROM: Joseph Molnar
SUBJECT: Waiver and Release of Contract
Which TIF? (circle one) River West; River East; South Side; Douglas Road; West Washington
PURPOSE OF REQUEST: Waiver and Release of conditions under contract for sale of land
Specifics: On April 24th 2002, the RDC and Crescent Michiana Properties, LLC entered into a
purchase agreement for a lot in the Blackthorn Office Park. The purchase price was $162,400
with certain conditions of constructing both a parking lot and office building on the site. Neither
the office building nor the parking lot have been constructed.
Crescent Michiana Properties, LLC now desires to convey the property to a new developer. To
facilitate the transfer of property, Staff recommends that the RDC release and waive the
conditions, as well as prohibitions against assignment and transfer. The Developer paid fair
market value at the time for the property and more than the current assessed value for the
property. Staff does not feel it is in the best interests of the City to attempt to reacquire the
property.

Re: Geotechnical Investigation Utility Locates
Western Avenue Streetscape
Supplemental No. 1 for Private Utility Locates
Dear Mr. Horvath,
During the geotechnical investigation, insufficient utility location information was obtained through conventional
methods. There were numerous underground utilities near the proposed boring locations that were unable to be
accurately located/marked by the City. As such, we needed to contract a private locator to assist with advancing the
borings to limit the risk of drilling into an underground utility for both our safety and for the convenience and safety of
the residents and businesses affected by those utilities. The use of private locates was not anticipated and therefore
not included in our original fee proposal.
HWC is requesting reimbursement for the private locator fees in the amount of $1,300.00.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Joshua P. Grabijas, PE
Project Manager
