(2) Resolution No. 3292 Accepting the Transfer of Real Property and,Lease Assignment from the Board of Public Works of the City of South Bend (Gates Sales Lot) South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting -May 28, 2015 Page 3 Mr. Relos stated in 2012, the Commission completed the acquisition of the downtown Gates properties. At that time, three parcels were not on the acquisition list, so the parcels were transferred by GMS Realty to the Board of Public Works (BPW). Subsequently, the Commission approved Confirming Resolution No. 3036, adding the parcels to the acquisition list. So all development parcels are under Commission ownership, the three parcels need to be transferred from the BPW to the Commission. Additionally, at the time the parcels were transferred to the BPW, an assignment of lease was executed, assigning the existing lease from GMS Realty to the BPW. Upon transfer of the parcels to the Commission, it is necessary to assign the lease from the BPW to the Commission. On May 26, 2015, the BPW will be presented with a resolution to. authorize the transfer of the parcels to the Commission. Once both bodies approve their respective resolutions, deeds will be prepared to complete the transfer. Upon a motion by Commissioner Downes, seconded by Commissioner Ferlic and unanimously carried, the Commission approved Resolution No. 3292 accepting the transfer of real property and lease assignment from the Board of Public Works of the City of South Bend for the Gates Sales Lot property. C. West Washington-Chapin Development None. D. South Side Development Area (1) Professional Services Proposal for the Rezoning of High and Ireland Property (Danch, Harner & Associates, Inc.) Mr. Relos stated the professional services proposal from Danch, Harner & Associates, Inc. is to provide planning services for the rezoning of a property at the southwest corner of High Street and Ireland Road. The property owner of the site has agreed to grant an easement to allow the sign to be moved onto their property, so the Erskine Plaza sign currently located in the middle of High Street can be moved to that location. The current zoning of the property does not allow off premise signs, so a rezoning from Local Business to Community Business is necessary to move the sign onto the property. The planning services provided include preparing rezoning and variance petition documents, preliminary site plan, rezoning ordinance, notice to adjacent property owners, and representation at all required meetings. Cost for serv_ices, including filing and mailing fees, is estimated to be $4,600.
