NEW BUSINESS a. Authori~ approval requested for Resolution No 81 ayyrovine and acceptine the transfer of real nro~pertv from the State of Indiana. Mrs. Kolata explained that the State of Indiana wishes to transfer a portion of land at the intersection of the By-pass and the Indiana Toll Road. The state needed nine acres of land to construct the west ramp of Exit 72 of the toll road, but the land the state needed rendered the remaining parcel (19 acres) damages to 95 % of its value without access to Old Cleveland Road. So the state bought the entire parcel in a condemnation agreement and we agreed to buy the unused portion from them. We will eventually put in the infrastructure necessary to create access to Olive or to Old Cleveland and make the parcel available for development. We have agreed to pay $387,000 for the 19.26 acres. However, we will pay $287,000 now and $100,000 at a later time, yet to be agreed upon. -1- • South Bend Redevelopment Authority Regular Meeting -August 5, 1993 3. NEW BUSINESS a. continued... Mr. Fewell questioned the approximately $20,000 per acre price. Mrs. Kolata explained that the court appraisers set the price. Our development in the area has increased property values, as has the extension of City water and sewer to the west side of the by- pass. Upon a motion by Mr. Wroblewski, seconded by Mr. Fewell and unanimously carried, the Authority approved the acceptance and transfer of real property from the State of Indiana. b. Authority approval requested for proposal for landscapine design services in the Airport Economic Development Area. Mr. Riggs requested proposals from Sitescapes and Landscapes Unlimited for landscaping Blackthorn Corporate Park, both to develop a master plan rendering showing driveways, cul de sacs, trees, etc., and to develop plans and specifications for landscaping the right-of--way along Mayflower Road. Landscapes Unlimited submitted • the lower bid. Although they do not have a lot of experience in this scale of project, they have a very capable staff in landscape architecture. We are confident they can do the job. The staff recommends accepting the proposal from Landscapes Unlimited. Upon a motion by Mr. Fewell, seconded by Mr. Wroblewski and unanimously carved, the Authority accepted the proposal from Landscapes Unlimited for landscaping design services in the Airport Economic Development Area. c. Authority approval reauested for proposal for professional services in the Airoort 2010 project area to develop a marketing brochure. Mrs. Kolata explained that we have entered into a contract for the marketing of our land in Blackthorn Corporate Park. This marketing brochure is for the whole project area. It will not be specific to Blackthorn or Redevelopment-owned land. Pitcock Design Group has submitted a proposal for time and materials, not to exceed $6,500, excluding printing and photography. They have also been hired by our real estate agents to develop the marketing materials for the corporate park. We think there may be some savings for us in adapting some of those materials for use in this brochure. Upon a motion by Mr. Fewell, seconded by Mr. Wroblewski and unanimously carried, the Authority approved the proposal from Pitcock Design Group for professional services in the Airport 2010 project area to develop a marketing brochure. • -2- • South Bend Redevelopment Authority Regular Meeting -August 5, 1993 4.
