As part of this project presentation, the Commission was presented with information about the proposal to relocate the existing Miami Street pond to a new location along the south side of Hawbaker Street. To accomplish this action, three properties along Hawbaker would need to be acquired to facilitate this plan. On February 5, 2010, the Commission approved Resolution 2647 and an Addendum to the Master Agency Agreement to authorize the South Bend Board of Public Works to procure professional design services from Christopher B. Burke Engineering to design and create construction documentation related to the Erskine Plaza Pond Project. Hawbaker Parcels There are three parcels on Hawbaker Street that will require acquisition to facilitate the construction of the new pond. The properties are located at 722,736, and 748 Hawbaker Street. The property at 748 is vacant due to fire damage, and the properties at 722 and 736 are both presently occupied. There are two parcels that make up the existing two-pond system and both properties are owned by the City of South Bend. There is a third property, owned by a private party, that serves as the north/south driveway connector located at the western end of the interior pond. Declaratory Resolution 2658 Attached to this memorandum is Declaratory Resolution 2658 which would amend What We Do Today Makes A Difference!
