Works (Studebaker Plaza).
Mr. Kam noted that Resolution No. 3147 and Amendment #1 to the Addendum to the
Master Agency Agreement is for the Studebaker Plaza project in downtown. On June 11,
2013, the BPW opened bids. The bid received from the lowest responsive, responsible
bidder is higher than the resources currently allocated for the project.
The following provides a breakdown of the activity to date:

The Amendment to the Addendum to the Master Agency Agreement, Supplement #1
establishes a project budget of $348,195.52. This equates to an additional increase of about
$28,000. Note that Great Lakes Capital that owns the plaza and is investing over $6 Million
in the rehabilitation of the former Wells Fargo building has agreed to split the additional
costs and will reimburse the Commission for $14,000 of the new expenses. Staff requests
approval of Resolution No. 3147 and the Amendment to the Addendum to the Master
Agency Agreement for the Studebaker Plaza project, Supplement #1.
Mr. Downes asked when the project would be completed if the Redevelopment Commission
approves this. Mr. Kain responded that construction will take approximately three months.
The goal was to finish by August. The sooner it gets started, the sooner it will be finished.
Ms. Schey asked if this is a park concept. Mr. Kain responded that it is a public plaza park
which has two components, one being an outdoor seating area for a restaurant that will be in
the former Wells Fargo building; the second, 2/3 of the plaza is public space where the chess
board will be the centerpiece. This will engage residents and businesses in the downtown
area to come. A large Studebaker emblem from one of the old factories will be installed in
the plaza as well.
Ms. Schey asked if the park will essentially cost $350,000. Mr. Kain responded that the
construction cost of the park is $318,000. The rest is engineering expenses.
Ms. Schey asked whether the cost of the park might go up further, since it has gone from
$290,000 to $350,000. Mr. Kain responded that at this point, staff has to award the project to
the lowest bidder at $318,000. We do not expect any other increases; however, if the cost is
increased, staff has the ability to decrease costs elsewhere. It will be our goal to maintain it

at $318,000. The Board of Works cannot award a project if there are not sufficient funds in
the account.
Ms. Schey asked who paid for the demolition. Mr. Kain responded that the demolitions were
paid for by the owner, Great Lakes Capital.
Mr. Downes noted that when you combine what Great Lakes Capital has invested with how
important this green space is, this is the center of the city. It's a pretty good investment.
Mr. Downes made a motion to approve Resolution No. 3147 approving and authorizing the
execution of an Addendum to the Master Agency Agreement with the Board of Public
Works (Studebaker Plaza), Mr. Inks seconded. The motion did not carry on a vote of two to
one. Ms. Schey opposed.
Mr. Meteiver noted that under the Redevelopment statutes, the approval of a particular
measure requires three votes. In this circumstance unless someone wishes to change their
vote, this measure will fail.
Mr. Kain asked if he could clarify anything regarding this. Ms. Schey noted that she is
concerned that for a park, this seems like lot of money. Mr. Kain responded that this is more
than a park; this is a gathering space for people to host events. The costs are primarily in the
elements of landscaping and brick paving. This is important for Downtown South Bend to
have more gathering spaces due to the lack of a public square. When you have national
experts come and talk to South Bend about public spaces, it's always been about creating a
great dynamic one. This plaza helps us achieve that goal. Staff is seeing more interest in
downtown living; for the first time, the Leighton Plaza retail spaces are full. There is a lot of
energy downtown. This plaza will add to that energy. In terms of the cost, if we compare
this to some of the other plaza spaces, it is lower. Staff has tried throughout the project to
keep the cost down. The initial appropriation of $290,000 was meant to be for the whole
plaza. At the time staff was not expecting to change the design, but we went through a
process to change it to make the plaza more interactive, and that increased our cost by
$29,000. The construction is still roughly what we anticipated last November.
Ms. Schey asked for a comparison to the cost from another public space. Mr. Inks
responded that the Key Bank Plaza cost $500,000 to build.
Mr. Downes noted that the design of the Studebaker Plaza is a lot more public friendly.
When you combine not only the location, but the success of other events that have taken
place there, such as the red table series, this is truly the center of town. It gets a lot of
activity.

A. South Bend Central Development Area
(1) continued...
Ms. Schey noted her concern that the Redevelopment Commission is doing a piecemeal
approach to developing Downtown without an overall master plan. Mr. Kain responded that
the South Bend Central Development Area plan is the strategy which is controlled by the
Redevelopment Commission. This strategy talks about residential development, pedestrian
friendly areas, and public spaces. Mr. Downes noted that he would agree with Ms. Schey, if
the Commission was considering this project from the beginning. However, there is a
building that is well into the development process, which is partially occupied, and about to
open the ground floor restaurant. All of the demolition and prep work has already been done
for the outside area. If this does not get passed, this project will not be finished until spring
2014. So there will be this mess in the middle of downtown the rest of this summer and in
the fall.
Mr. Relos noted that Great Lakes Capital has spent a substantial amount of money clearing
and getting the corner ready.
Mr. Downes noted that the seniors that live in Robertson's Apartments use this area as an
outdoor space. This is a very important investment for downtown, and as Mr. Kain has
stated, this fits in with the long term plan.
Ms. Schey asked that with splitting the cost with Great Lakes Capital, the total cost of the
project is $700,000. Mr. Kain responded that it is not, the total cost of the project is
$348,195.52. Staff currently has $320,000 allocated for this project and needs $348,000.
Great Lakes Capital will match the Commission's $14.000 to fund the $28,000 gap. Ms.
Schey asked if this was in writing. Mr. Kain responded that it is.
Upon a motion by Ms. Schey and unanimously carried, the Commission approved the
request for reconsideration of the vote for Resolution No. 3147 approving and authorizing
the execution of an Amendment to the Addendum to the Master Agency Agreement,
Supplement #1 with the Board of Public Works (Studebaker Plaza).
Ms. Jones arrived and asked for a summary of what was discussed with this topic.
Mr. Relos, Ms. Schey, Mr. Downes, and Mr. Kain all gave brief summaries of what their
involvement was with the discussion. Ms. Jones noted that she agrees that there needs to be
an overall Master Plan for the Downtown area. To this specific project, it is so close to being
finished that it seems unwise to stop it. It would be a gesture of good faith to finish it.
Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Ms. Schey and unanimously carried, the
Commission approved Resolution No. 3147 approving and authorizing the execution of an

B. Airport Economic Development Area
(1) Proposal for professional services in the Airport Economic Development Area
(Asbestos Inspection of 917 S. Lafayette, Hamilton Towing)
Mr. Relos noted that of the three Hamilton properties acquired, two have been cleaned and
cleared and are now ready for development. This one remaining property is currently
occupied by Hamilton, who has possession until June 2014.
To plan for the eventual clearance of this site, an Asbestos Containing Materials Survey
must be completed. The results of this inspection will then be incorporated into the demo
specs that will be prepared. Staff requests approval of this Professional Services Agreement
with JPR, in a not -to- exceed amount of $1,500 to allow the asbestos inspection report to be
completed.
Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Ms. Schey and unanimously carried, the
Commission accepted the proposal from JPR for the asbestos inspection of 917 S. Lafayette
for the scope of services and fee proposed. (Hamilton Towing)
(2) Proposal for landscaping services in the Airport Economic Development Area (Oliver
Plow Industrial Park)
Mr. Relos noted that in 2010 the Commission approved improvements to the Oliver Plow
Industrial Park, including a pedestrian trail system from the west side of the park (Arnold
St.) to the east side (Chapin St.), entry signage and landscaping, decorative lighting, and the
development of the Oliver Plow Memorial Park, featuring a 110% life -size bronze statue of
James Oliver standing next to an Oliver Chilled Plow.
As part of the ongoing park's operations, plans are being drafted that would form an owner's
association, similar in nature to the Blackthorn Owners Association whereby owners in the
park would pay an annual amount to maintain the Memorial, entry signage and landscaping.
In the interim, the landscaping and irrigation system are in need of repair. Because of a tour
of the Memorial this week, Jay Harwood, the owner of Rose Brick, paid to have these two
items completed.

Fuerbringer Landscaping, who installed the original landscaping, agreed to weed, mulch,
and trim the beds in the amount of $4,905. Mr. Harwood has paid this bill, so the park's
entrance and Memorial were presentable for the tour. Staff requests approval to reimburse
Mr. Hardwood in the amount of $4,905, and thanks him for his concern in the appearance of
the park.
Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Ms. Schey and unanimously carried, the
Commission authorized reimbursement to Jay Harwood for landscaping services in the
amount of $4,500 in the Oliver Plow Industrial Park.
(3) Staff report on Administrative Settlement for acquisition of property in the Airport
Economic Development Area (725 W. Indiana Ave.)
Mr. Relos noted that on May 30, 2013 the Commission approved Resolution No. 3141,
setting the acquisition offering price for 725 W. Indiana Ave. at $51,500, the average
appraised value of the real estate and improvements only. The property, owned by Barany
Sheet Metal, contains three parcels that equal 14,880 square feet, or almost 1/3 acre. An
industrial building containing a total of 8,400 square feet of usable space is located on the
property.
To relocate this business, another building that could accommodate it would need to be
found, and that building brought up to current building and fire codes. In addition, actual
moving costs would be incurred.
Current industrial zoned buildings on the market are either too large, too small, or need a
large amount of work to accommodate this type of business. One possible fit currently on
the market is an 8,181 square foot building for $350,000. Actual moving costs would be an
additional expense.
After three years of ongoing efforts to acquire and relocate this business, the property owner
has agreed to a lump sum payment of $300,000. The owners will then take it upon
themselves to find a location and move their business, which they have stated will stay in
South Bend.
Staff believes the administrative settlement of $248,500 ($300,000 less the acquisition cost
of $51,500) for this business is reasonable, in light of relocation costs that would have been
incurred, and requests approval to allow the acquisition of this property.
Ms. Schey asked whether an environmental assessment of the property will show that it is
clean. Mr. Relos responded that it will.

Mr. Downes asked what the status is for the overall budget for property acquisition in the
Ignition Park South Expansion Area. Mr. Relos responded that overall, the budget was set
at $4.9 million, and staff is at $2.7 million.
Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Ms. Schey and unanimously carried, the
Commission approved the Administrative Settlement for acquisition of property in the
amount of $300,000 in the Airport Economic Development Area for 725 W. Indiana Ave.
(4) Staff report on Administrative Settlement for acquisition of property in the Airport
Economic Development Area (913 — 915 W. Indiana Ave. & 1522 Prairie)
Mr. Relos noted that 913 - 915 W. Indiana and 1522 Prairie are commonly owned and once
housed United Plumbing. The property on Indiana is one of the remaining properties to be
acquired between Scott and Kemble in the Ignition Park South Expansion Area. According
to the Uniform Relocation Act, an administrative settlement is authorized when negotiations
exceed the market value of the property and are necessary for its acquisition.
On April 24, 2012 the Commission approved Resolution No. 3028, setting the acquisition
offering price for the Indiana property at $21,000. On the same date, the Commission
approved Resolution No. 3029, setting the offering price for the Prairie property at $28,500,
both of which are the average appraised value (total value of $49,500).
The Indiana property is one parcel with a 3,820 square foot office / warehouse building.
The Prairie property is two parcels with a 3,200 square foot warehouse. The combined
square footage for both buildings is a little more than 7,000 s£ Although the business is
non - operational, both buildings contain a substantial amount of inventory and the 90 year
old owner still goes to his office almost every day.
If relocation was requested, buildings that could accommodate it would need to be found,
and those buildings brought up to current building and fire codes. In addition, actual
moving costs would be incurred. One possible fit currently on the market is a 7,400 square
foot building for $123,900, which needs a new roof, at the minimum. Actual moving costs
would be an additional expense.
After three years of ongoing efforts to acquire and relocate this owner, he has agreed to a
lump sum payment of $140,000 for both properties.

Ms. Schey asked whether an environmental assessment of the property will show that it is

Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Ms. Schey and unanimously carried, the
Commission approved the Administrative Settlement for acquisition of property in the

Ave. and 1522 Prairie)
(5) Staff report on Administrative Settlement for acquisition of property in the Airport
Economic Development Area (1505 S. Kendall)
Mr. Relos noted that 1505 S. Kendall St., owned by Darrel Austin, is one of the remaining
properties to be acquired between Scott and Kemble Streets in the Ignition Park South
Expansion Area. According to the Uniform Relocation Act, an administrative settlement is
authorized when negotiations exceed the market value of the property and are necessary for
its acquisition.
On May 30, 2013 the Commission approved Resolution No. 3142, setting the acquisition
offering price for this property at $26,250, the average of two independent appraisals of the
real estate and improvements. The property contains two 4,960 square foot lots: one is a
parking lot; the other contains a 1,820 square foot building which operates as a bar / adult
cabaret (Centerfolds).
Per the City's zoning ordinance. an adult cabaret is a permitted use only in a General
Industrial area, and further restricts their operation within 500 feet of a residentially zoned
area, church, or school.
To relocate this business, another building that could accommodate it would need to be
found, and that building brought up to current building and fire codes. In addition, actual
moving costs would be incurred. Current restaurant / bars that are on the market range from
$269,000 to $375,000 and up; none of these listings are in a General Industrial zoned area of
the city.
After three years of ongoing efforts to acquire and relocate this business, the property owner
has agreed to a lump sum payment of $350,000. It will then be his responsibility to find
another location, if possible.

Ms. Schey asked that there was some discussion about expanding the PUD usages for
Ignition Park. Would this particular usage be a special exception? Mr. Kain noted that the
PUD does not apply to this section. It only applies to north of the railroad tracks.
Mr. Relos noted that once the Commission gets common ownership among development,
staff will ask for a replat, vacate the streets and alleys, and rezone the property.
Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Ms. Schey and unanimously carried, the
Commission approved the Administrative Settlement for acquisition of property in the

(1) Resolution No. 3146 approving and authorizing the execution of an Addendum to the
Master Agency Agreement with the Board of Public Works (Hill St. Improvements).
Mr. Kain noted that Resolution No. 3146 and Addendum to the Master Agency Agreement
(Hill St. Improvement Project) authorizes the Board of Public Works to act as the
Commission's agent and sets the budget for the improvements.
South Bend Heritage Foundation is in the process of constructing 13 single family homes on
vacant lots on Hill St. between Crescent and Corby. Currently these lots are a detriment to
the neighborhood and add to the perception of crime and lack of safety.
The estimate for improvements provided by South Bend Heritage Foundation covers
replacement of substandard curb and sidewalk, alley paving, and ADA corners along Hill St.
between Crescent and Corby. Curb, sidewalk, and alley curb cuts that are new or in
otherwise good condition are to remain in place. The estimate also includes the cost to
prepare construction and public bidding documents. The total project budget for the
improvements is $168,922.

A strong Hill Street will strengthen the surrounding streets and encourage development on
adjacent private vacant lots and renovations to existing houses. Staff requests approval of
the project budget from the NNDA TIF and Resolution No.3146 (Hill St. Improvements).
Mr. Pat Lynch from South Bend Heritage Foundation noted that on the Hill St. Improvement
Project there are five houses that are being completed with NSP funds. Two still need some
landscaping, but the remaining three are finished. This represents $Imillion of investment.
The funds that are being requested are for the public right -of -way improvements along the
front of the development South Bend Heritage is doing. Hill St. was selected for the project
because it was a soft area between what's going on at Notre Dame and just down the hill
with Oaklawn. We hope it will generate additional development and investment around that
area. The most critical element that is needed is to pave the alley on the west side, which
Engineering is calling a paper alley. There is no gravel, just shrubs and grass. We've
decided in our development to do rear loaded attached garages. As of right now there are
driveways that run into the paper alley. The title company and lenders loaning private
individuals the money to buy these houses are asking South Bend Heritage to pave the paper
alley. Outside of the alleys we are doing general curb and sidewalk improvement. Not every
curb and sidewalk needs to be replaced, but some areas on the street have decay and
detriment, such as old, large stumps which need to be removed. On Kalorama St., there was
at one time a leg that went to the bluff which has been vacated. It is no longer a street, the
paving is still there and there is no sewer lateral. It is a buildable lot, but we want to make it
more attractive.
Ms. Schey asked with the city Sidewalk and Curb program there are people in house that do
the sidewalks and curbs that is done for the costs savings. With a project like this, can the
city bid on this, knowing that they are able to do the work, for the residents rather than
outsourcing it? Mr. Kam responded that Public Works has a small budget for this program
which is a 50/50 partnership of residents throughout the city. The city cannot bid on this.
The scope of this is much larger than curb and sidewalks, there are alleys, and brush
removal as well. This is in the Northeast Neighborhood Development Area TIF.
Mr. Relos noted that the Sidewalk and Curb program is booked through this year and maybe
next year.
Ms. Schey noted that it is the city's policy that they don't pave alleys. Mr. Kain responded
that in existing neighborhoods that is the policy of the city; however this is creating a new
neighborhood, similar to the Triangle neighborhood, where the porches are in the front and
vehicles in the back. To facilitate this type of development, the alley needs to be paved.
Most of the existing residential homes in the city have access through their front streets.

Mr. Lynch noted that in this particular case the right of way exists, however there is no

Mr. Meteiver noted that if the City of South Bend were to use the Curb and Sidewalk funds
for this project, they would have to notify the residents who are on a waiting list for the Curb
and Sidewalk program that their projects are going to be postponed until next year, or the
Redevelopment Commission would postpone this project until next year.
Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Ms. Schey and unanimously carried, the

(1) Resolution No. 3144 appointing members to the Development Design Review
Committee (Dennis Weaver)
Mr. Relos noted that the Development Design Review Committee is composed of nine
members, five appointed by the Redevelopment Commission and four by virtue of their
position (City Engineer, City Building Commissioner, Director of the St. Joseph County
Area Plan Commission, and the Director of the Division of Redevelopment).
There are three Development Design Areas: South Bend Central, Studebaker Corridor, and
the Airport Economic Development Area. The boundaries of the Design Review Areas are
the same as the Development Areas as established by the Redevelopment Commission.
These areas have design guidelines established by the Commission. Any exterior
improvements in these areas need to conform to those guidelines. If improvements are
proposed which are not consistent with the guidelines, they are referred to the Review
Committee, which can waive the guideline requirements.
Staff requests approval of Resolution No. 3144, to allow the appointment of Dennis Weaver,
who works for Arkos Design and previously The Troyer Group, and will bring needed
expertise in the area of construction cost estimation to the Development Design Review
Committee.
