WHEREAS, a Declaratory Resolution designated the area commonly known as 6661

That part of the Northeast & Southeast Quarters of Section 19, Township 38 North, Range

and which has Key Number 25- 1011 -0610, as an Economic Revitalization Area; and
WHEREAS, notice of the adoption of a Declaratory Resolution and the public hearing
before the Council has been published pursuant to Indiana Code 6 -1.1- 12.1 -2.5; and
WHEREAS, the Council held a public hearing for the purposes of hearing all
remonstrances and objections from interested persons; and
WHEREAS, the Council has determined that the qualifications for an economic
revitalization area have been met; and
WHEREAS, the Council issued a Confirmatory Resolution confirming the adoption of
the Declaratory Resolution as Resolution No. 2905 -00 on July 10, 2000; and
WHEREAS, the Petitioner has exceeded the two year designation period granted in the
Confirmatory resolution, which expired on June 26, 2002; and
WHEREAS, the Petitioner has requested an additional period of time to complete
construction of the planned project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of South
Bend, Indiana, as follows:
SECTION I. The Petitioner acknowledges that due to unforeseen problems that have occurred
onsite and within the new building, it exceeded the two year designation period granted in the
Confirmatory Resolution. Among the delays incurred by the petitioner:
A. Custom made roofing material that did not properly form to the curve of the roof.
New methods had to be developed and tested to deal with the difficulties of the
installation. A solution was eventually found and the roof won the 2002
Excellence in Construction Award from the Michiana Builders Association.
B. Custom material for the east canopy of the building were delivered to the job site
with unacceptable manufacturing flaws. Specific design issues were identified as
the problem and the manufacturer had to reproduce the entire order.
C. Several equipment losses and related problems have occurred during the
construction process resulting in various construction delays.
The Common Council hereby finds that the extension of the designation is appropriate in light of
the aforementioned delays incurred by the petitioner.
SECTION II. The Common Council hereby reconfirms its Declaratory Resolution and its
Confirmatory Resolution designating the area described herein as an Economic Revitalization
Area for the purposes of tax abatement. The Common Council pursuant to Section 2 -84 of the
South Bend Municipal Code finds that such designation is for Real property tax abatement only
and is limited to three and one half (3' /z) calendar years from the date of adoption of the
Declaratory Resolution by the Common Council.
SECTION III. The Common Council hereby determines that the property owner is qualified for
and is granted Real property tax deduction for a period of ten (10) years, and further determines
that the petition complies with Chapter 2, Article 6, of the Municipal Code of the City of South
Bend and Indiana Code 6- 1.1 -12 et sea.
SECTION IV. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its adoption by
the Common Council and approved by the Mayor.
