Mr. Relos noted that on March 20, 2009, the Commission authorized staff to begin the process to add Hansel Center, 1045 W. Washington St, to the acquisition list of the West Washington-Chapin Development Area. On May 1, 2009, the Commission appro~~ed Resolution No. 2580, a Declaratory Resolution to amend the Development Plan of this Area to allow for the acquisition and expenditure of funds on the Hansel Center. 5 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Rescheduled Regular Meeting -July 14, 2009 6. NEVV BUSINESS (CONT.) A. Public Hearing (1) continued... On May 19, the St. Joseph County Area Plan Commission, the official planning body for the City of South Bend, approved Resolution No. 196-09, which approved, ratified, and confirmed Resolution No. 2580, determining that it conforms to the plan of development for the city. On ,lune 8, the South Bend Common Council, the municipal legislative body for the City of South Bend, approved Resolution No. 3974-09, which approved, ratified, and confirmed the Area Plan Commission"s Resolution No. 196-09. The final process in amending the Development Plan to allow this acquisition is the Confil-Ining Resolution before the Commission today. Staff requests Commission approval of this Resolution, which will allow the purchase and rehabilitation of this historic building, and through a joint effort between the Commission and Notre Dame, its adaptive reuse as the Notre Dame Center for Art & Culture. MS..1O11eS Opened tI]e pubhC heal'ing f01' PUBLIC HEARING ON RESOLUTION NO. 2587 anyone who wished to speak regarding Resolution No. 2587. MS. GLADYS MUHAMMAD: I-m with South Bend Herita~~e Foundation and 1"m here to speak for Resolution No. 2587. We think it would be added value to the west side for a cultural center to be put into that 6 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Rescheduled Regular Meeting-July 14, 2009 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) A. Public Hearing (1) continued... building that has been vacant for years. It would be added value because the Center for History is there, and because of the Natatorium project. It will allow walking between all the culture centers in the neighborhood. We think that it would be wonderful. I"m in support of it. MS. DEA ANDREWS: I'm speaking on behalf of the Near Westside Neighborhood Organization which last month passed a resolution wholeheartedly supporting the acquisition of the Hansel Center property. They feel that this is the last hope for that building. And it is an historic building, and a solid building, despite the things that have happened to it. We feel very comfortable with the proposed use for it. RITA KOPALA: I think, that is the building, if Notre Dame wants to take that much interest in it, I would be more than thrilled to see them for a change put the money into it and let the city do their thing while Notre Dame takes care of it. JEFF GIBNEY: Just for the record, Notre Dame is putting a substantial amount of money into the building. City dollars are going to the facade and the site. The building itself will be renovated from individual donations to the University of Notre Dame. So, they are putting approximately $750,000 into that property. And they are working on an endowment and will maintain it in the future. South Bend Redevelopment Commission Rescheduled Regular Meeting -July 14, 2009 6. NE«' BUSINESS (CONT.) A. Public Hearing (I) continued... There was no one else who wished to speak regarding Resolution No. 2587. Ms. Jones closed the public hearing for whatever action the Commission wished to take. (2) Approve Resolution No. 2587. Ms. Jones said she thinks it is always important to take an empty building and find a good adaptive reuse for it. She agreed with Ms. Andrews when she said it increases the traffic to the neighborhood, the stability to the neighborhood, adds a presence; it"s not a temptation to someone to someone to either destroy or vandalize the building. It's always nice to have someone in the building. That's Ms. ,Jones• primacy support for it. This is a wonderful reuse of the building, and encom•ages and enhances the traffic pattern through all of the museum campuses. Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Ms. King and unanimously ca>-~-ied, the Commission approved Resolution No. 2587 confii->ning a resolution amending the Development Plan for the West Washington- Chapin Development Area and adding one or more parcels to the List of Parcels to be Acquired.

Western Ave.; the GMS Realty-Toyota properties in the 300 and 400 blocks of Western Ave.; the foi-~Iler Schilling"s Camera store, 325-329 S. Lafayette Blvd.; and NorSystems Inc., 30l S. Lafayette Blvd., in anticipation of adding the properties to the List of Properties to be Acquired in the South Bend Central Development Area Development Plan. The properties are adjacent to the Coveleski Park planning area where the Commission has been acquiring property with the intent of offering the cleared land for housing development. The Manor, owned by Madison Center, has been vacant for about a year. Owned by a non-profit agency, it does not generate any taxes at this time. Redevelopment costs are estimated at $350,000. Fred's Transmission is also in the area identified for housing development. There is an operating business there that is expected to move soon. We'd like to be in a position to acquire this property when it becomes available. Redevelopment costs are expected to be about X325.000 for this property. The Toyota properties in the 300 and 400 block of Western are mostly vacant. The only occupied one is a small service center on Wavne St. We'd like to ne~~otiate with 9 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Rescheduled Regular Meeting-July l4, 2009 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) B. South Bend Central Development Area (1) continued... the Gates family to acquire these properties over time. Total redevelopment costs are expected to be approximately $],500,000. The former Schilling's Camera Store has been vacant for almost ten years. Acquisition of this property would help assemble asix-acre site for new development. Total redevelopment costs for this property are expected to be about $500,000. The building at 301 S. Lafayette is cun•ently bein~~ used by NorSystems Inc. We'd like this property on the acquisition list so that when we"ve acquired everything else needed for a housing development site, this would be on the list and ready to proceed «~ith. Total redevelopment costs for this site are estimated at $325,000. The total number of parcels to be added to the acquisition list at this time is seventeen. Total redevelopment costs associated «~ith acquisition and demolition for the entire seventeen parcels is $3,000,000. (2) Resolution No. 2551 amending the South Bend Central Development Area Development Plan and adding one or more parcels to the List of Parcels to be Acquired. Mr. Schalliol noted that a declaratory resolution is the first step in the process of adding the properties mentioned above to the 10 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Rescheduled Regular Meeting-July 14, 2009 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) B. South Bend Central Development Area (2) continued... acquisition list of the South Bend Central Development Area Development Plan. Following approval by the Commission the Area Plan Commission and South Bend Common Council will need to approve the additions to the acquisition list, after which the Commission will hold a public hearing before considering a confii7ning resolution. Ms. Jones noted that the TIF funds used to acquire property are about 90%-95% fi-om business tapes. It's a common misconception that TIF funds are generated from residential taxes. Also, TIF funds collected in a district must be spent in that district and used only for pwposes designated by state law. If anyone has questions about what state law designates as eligible uses, Dick Nussbaum can answer them. Upon a motion by Mr. Do~~mes, seconded by Ms. King and unanimously can•ied, the Commission approved Resolution No. 2551 amending the South Bend Cenh-al Development Area Development Plan and adding one or more parcels to the List of Parcels to be Acquired.

NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) B. South Bend Central Development Area (3) continued... A which was distributed at the meeting. Mr. Kain noted that the Addendum to the Master Agency Agreement authorizes the Board of Public Works to proceed with Phase II of the Michigan Street Improvement Project. Phase I was implemented in 2008 and covered Colfax to Wayne Streets, including removal of existing sidewalk and installing new concrete, new street lighting, planters and landscaping. Phase I did not include a small portion of Michigan Street that was in front of 101 N. Michigan, which was being renovated at the time. Phase II will, then, complete the improvements in front of 101 N. Michigan, as well as the sidewalks and curbs along the south side of that building on Washington Street which have been damaged dul-ing the facade renovation. Also, a small portion on Jefferson east of Michigan that did not get done due to lack of funds. The cost estimate for these improvements is $250,000, plus a 10% contingency and $15,000 for consulting. The total project cost is $290,000. Staff recommends approval. Ms. Jones asked if these are TIF funds that need to be used by a certain date. Mr. Inks responded that they are. Upon a motion by Ms. King, seconded by Mr. Downes and unanimously carried, the Commission approved Resolution No. ?589 approving and authorizing the execution of an Addendum to the Master Agency 12 COMMISSION APPROVED RESOLUTION NO. 2589 APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN ADDENDUM TO THE MASTER AGENCY AGREEMENT \\'ITH THE BOARD OF PUBLIC' WORKS (MICHIGAN STREET IMPROVEMENTS- PHASE II) South Bend Redevelopment Conullission Rescheduled Regular Meeting -.1uly 14, 2009 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) B. South Bend Central Development Area (3) continued... Agreement with the Board of Public Works (Michigan Sheet Improvements -Phase II) C. Airport Economic Development Area (1) Staff report on adding properties to the Acquisition List. Mr. Relos gave the staff report. On June 5, 2009, the Conunission authorized staff to begin the process to add three target areas to the acquisition list of the Airport Economic Development Area. This process includes the gathering of information on the pal-cels to be added, and an estimation of costs associated with the acquisition and redevelopment of these properties. The information which follows is a summary on staff findings: Area 1 (Ivv Tech -East Sample) In area 1 there ai-e four properties which would be acquired and eventually transfeiTed to Ivy Tech for much needed expansion of classrooms, storage, and parking. This plan dovetails nicely with Innovation and Ignition Parks' needs for a specialized, educated ~~~orkforce. It rehabilitates this section of East Sample, which will become a gateway between the two Parks, and shows community support for Ivy Tech, which will allow Ivy Tech to get more state dollars for future expansion. The Commission would purchase the properties and do certain demolition and STAFF REPORT ON ADDING PROPERTIES TO THE ACQUISITION LIST 13 South Bend Redevelopment Connnission Rescheduled Regular Meeting -July 14, 2009 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) C. Airport Economic Development Area (1) continued... facade work. Ivy Tech will do the interior rehab to turn these buildings into classrooms and / or storage areas. Estimated acquisition values for this area were done by Chris Davey, a licensed realtor with Cressy Everett, on Ivy Tech's behalf. The fow• properties are Discount Rental, at 230 E. Sample, Habitat for Hwnanity at 412 E Sample, the Barbershop at 222 E Sample, and New Hope Missionary Church at 313 E Ohio St. The purchase of these properties will allow Ivy Tech to consolidate programs fi-om various buildings, thereby freeing up valuable classroom space for its ever expanding enrollment and parking needs. Ivy Tech also requests improvements to its cun-ent building on Sample, which is in desperate need of a new facade. Estimated redevelopment costs for Area 1 are ~ 1.71 million. There could be additional costs for the relocation of any on-going businesses remaining in these buildings. Estimated redevelopment costs for this area include acquisition, demolition, facade improvements, appraisals, surveys, title work, environmental reports, etc. Area 2 (Ignition Park -East) The Airgas property at 914 S Lafayette is just south of Hamilton Towing on the east side of Lafayette. It is a pressurized tank tilling facility which is scheduled to close the end of 14 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Rescheduled Regular Meeting -July 14, 2009 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) C. Airport Economic Development Area (1) continued... August. These parcels, along with the Hamilton parcels on the same side of Sample, would make this area large enough to be a developable site, and would further clear this area on the fi•inge of Ignition Park. Airgas has indicated they may be interested in selling this site to the city once they have ceased operations there. Estimated redevelopment cost for Area 2 is 5285,000. Estimated redevelopment costs for this area include acquisition, demolition, appraisals, surveys, title work, environmental repot-ts, etc. Area 3 (Ignition Park -South) The entire area north of Indiana Avenue, between Franklin on the east and Prairie on the west, was identified as weak residential in the 1995 Rum Village Neighborhood Action Plan, and as far back as 1971, ~~~as defined as the logical southern boundary of the Studebaker Coi7-idor redevelopment area. This area is plagued by vacant lots, empty housing. substandard commercial buildings, and rental houses. To begin the pi°ocess of cleaning this area up, the first step would be to add the properties between Franklin and Taylor Streets to the acquisition list. Staff has met twice with the Rum Village Neighborhood Association, which strongly supports redevelopment of this area. 15 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Rescheduled Regular Meeting -July 14, ?009 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) C. Airport Economic Development Area (1) continued... The Commission cun-ently owns approximately half of the land mass in this area. The acquisitions in this area would effect eleven property owners, two of which own vacant lots; anothEr, who is the next largest land owner in the area, has expressed an interest in selling to the Commission if final approval is granted. Estimated redevelopment cost for these properties is $1 million. Estimated redevelopment costs for this area include acquisition, demolition, relocation, appraisals, surveys, title work, environmental reports, etc. (2) Resolution No. 2552 amending the Airport Economic Development Area Development Plan (Adding properties to the Acquisition List) Mr. Relos noted that following Commission approval, the amendment to the Development Plan must be approved by the Area Plan Commission and Common Council, then return to the Commission for public hearing and continuing resolution. Ms. Kin~~ said lvy Tech•s need for this expansion stems from its great success as an educational institution. To the extent that the Redevelopment Commission can assist by helping prepare land for e~:pansion. that"s what we should be doing. Our participation by doing facade improvements on the 16 South Bend Redevelopment Connnission Rescheduled Regular- Meeting ,luly 14, ?009 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) C. Airport Economic Development Area (2) continued... Sample Street location will improve the curb appeal along Sample Street, the gateway to Ignition Park. Ms..lones said how important it was to her that the Rum Village Neighborhood Association supports the southward expansion of Ignition Park. Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Ms. King and unanimously carried, the Commission approved Resolution No. 2552 amending the Airport Economic Development Area Development Plan (Adding properties to the Acquisition List) (3) Resolution No. 2590 approving and authorizing the execution of an Addendum to the Master Agency Agreement (Mayflo~~~er Road Trwik Sanitary' Sewer Project -Design Phase) Mr. Inks noted that the Mayflower Road Trunk Sanitary Sewer Project will prepare South Bend for residential expansion in Portage Prairie and other subdivisions west of the bypass. The cun-ent sewer line does not connect all those areas, nor does it have the capacity for them. This request is to spend $300,000 on the design of this sanitary sewer trunk. Before we actually construct the sewer trunk, we will wait for some development to occur. Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Ms. King and unanimously carried, the Commission approved Resolution No. ?590 approving and authorizing execution of an 17 COMMISSION APPROVED RESOLUTION NO. 2552 AMENDING THE AIRPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN (ADDING PROPERTIES TO THE ACQUISITION LIST) COMMISSION APPROVED RESOLUTION NO. 2590 APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AN ADDENDUM TO THE MASTER AGENCY AGREEMENT (MAYFLOWER ROAD TRUNK SANITARY SEWER PROJECT- DESIGN PHASE) South Bend Redevelopment Commission Rescheduled Regular Meeting -July l4, 2009 Addendum to the Master Agency A~~-eement (Mayflower Road Trunk Sanitary Sewer Project -Design Phase) D.

PROGRESS REPORTS Mr. Inks noted that Mr. Kain today will be filing a PROGRESS REPORTS variance for the sign authorized by the Commission at the coiner of Hill and Colfax. Subsequent to Conunission approval, it was determined that a variance would be needed. Mr. Inks repotted on the East Bank Plan Phase IL That neighborhood is now being refen•ed to as the Howard Park neighborhood, which is bounded by Jefferson, the river and Eddy St. on the east. Very little of that neighborhood falls within the boundaries of the South Bend Central Development Area. Out intent was to formalize the Howard Park Neighborhood Plan and make it pant of the South Bend Central Development Area Development Plan. Therefore, we have an interest in expanding the South Bend Central Development Area boundaries so that they will be coterminous with the Howard Park Neighborhood boundaries. Staff intends to bring forward a declaratory resolution at the next meeting. Under the new state law, in addition to approval by the Area Plan Commission and Common Council, this expansion will have to be approved by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation. 8.
