community moral standards, convenience or general welfare;
Approval of this Special Exception should not be injurious to the public health, safety,
morals, and general welfare of the community. The project will feature newly constructed

Michelle-
Alternative Two—700 W. Chippewa Ave. —The property located at 700 W.Chippewa Ave. is zoned I Industrial and a
Scrap Metal Dealer use is not allowed by right in this district,however,the current use has been in continuous
operation prior to the adoption of our current Zoning Ordinance and is therefore considered legal non-
conforming. Any outdoor storage of material needs to remain below the fence line.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Attachments:Scrap Metal Review - Zoning Compliance.pdf; Buffer Types.pdf
Hi all,
Jim and I visited scrap the metal sites to observe fencing.
Along many property lines a buffer would not be required by zoning since the lots abut other I Industrial
sites.Where a buffer would be required,fencing was legal non-conforming in every case and would
require an upgrade (adding shrubs, trees, or made solid)to meet current standards. I put together a
visual document to show what the zoning ordinance would require at each site and current conditions.
I've also attached the page from the ZO that calls out various buffer types.
Best,

RE: Resolution No. 25-28 -A Resolution of the Common Council of the
City of South Bend, Indiana, Approving the Issuance of Tax Increment
Revenue Bonds of the Redevelopment District of the City for the
Purpose of Providing Funds for the Costs of Certain Local Public
Improvements that Support Residential Housing Development and All
Matters Related Thereto
Dear President Lee and Councilmember Warner,
Please find attached Resolution No. 25-28, which has been filed for the Common
Council's consideration pursuant to Section 25.1 of Indiana Code 36-7-14. If adopted,
the resolution would authorize the issuance of bonds with a principal amount not to
exceed $2.57 million. Proceeds from the bonds would support infrastructure for a
planned residential development at the former Drewrys Brewery site and adjacent
Portage Elwood shopping plaza.
The planned infrastructure, including but not limited to, utilities, streets, and
sidewalks, will allow for the development of at least 110 mixed-income single-family
and multi-family housing units. None of the currently existing infrastructure on the
project site is suitable for residential development, and significant infrastructure
investment is needed to enable redevelopment to move forward.
In December 2024, the City of South Bend applied for a Residential Infrastructure
Fund (RIF) loan in the amount of $2.57 million through the Indiana Finance

Authority (IFA). On January 22, 2025,the City was informed by IFA that the loan
application was approved. Through the RIF program,the funds provided by the IFA
would be made available to the City through IFA's purchase of Redevelopment
District Bonds issued by the South Bend Redevelopment Commission. RIF loan funds
can be used to support the project such as continued environmental remediation and
demolition of structures at the Drewrys site and Portage Elwood shopping plaza,the
construction of new streets, curbs, sidewalks, and tree lawns, the construction of a
storm sewer system,the installation of sanitary sewer lines, the installation of water
main lines and a lateral connection system, and the installation of street lighting.
On April 24, 2025, the Redevelopment Commission approved and adopted its
resolution authorizing the issuance of tax increment revenue bonds for the purpose of
financing the cost of certain local public improvements for the Drewrys site project.
Indiana Code requires the Common Council to provide its authorization before the
bonds can be issued. Adoption of Resolution No. 25-28 by the Common Council
would enable the City to access the RIF loan funds provided by IFA. Debt service on
the bonds would be paid through Tax Increment Financing revenues collected in the
River West Development Area. The current interest rate as established by the IFA is
3.15 percent, and interest-only payments would begin six months after IFA purchases
the bonds. Payments on principal would begin 12 months following substantial
completion of the project. Final maturity of the bonds will be no later than 20 years
from the date of issuance.
The Drewrys site residential housing development will lead a transformation of a
blighted area in the northwest part of the City into a vibrant residential area located
near amenities such as the Coal Line Trail. We have made significant progress in the
past few years to prepare the site for redevelopment: the City partnered with the
Environment Protection Agency to remediate potential contamination, resulting in a
site certified as clean by the agency in 2023. The City has been demolishing
remaining buildings and removing debris in preparation for redevelopment of the site.
Access to potential funding sources such as the RIF loan is key to ensuring this
historic project can move forward as planned.

report any material changes or improvements made to the property subject to the abatement including
changes as the result of subdividing, replatting, or otherwise. The Applicant agrees that failure to
