South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Rescheduled Regular Meeting -March 10, 2006 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />B. South Bend Central Development Area <br />() continued... <br />side of the street, so those are some issues <br />that, together, we're going to have to work <br />out in order to realize this vision. We <br />have had substantial conversations already <br />with the Maennerchor Club and feel like <br />we have a good relationship established <br />with them. We have shared our plans <br />with them, so I think we've done a lot of <br />due diligence for our part. <br />Mr. Hojnacki asked how Eco-Urban <br />would resolve the Maennerchor <br />relocation. Who would pay for it? <br />Mr. Keen responded that Eco-Urban has <br />discussed with Maennerchor the <br />possibility of trading some of the Phase II <br />retail space for its present building. We <br />want the Maennerchor Club to stay where <br />it's at. We think they are part of the <br />history of the place. They help define the <br />place. They've been there since the 1870s. <br />We don't need all the retail space. We <br />could give them 1,000 sft or 2,000 sft. <br />We've discussed this with them. <br />Mr. Hojnacki asked if, then, there would <br />be no cost to the city to provide the <br />Maennerchor site for development. <br />Mr. Keen responded that the city would <br />not need to pay for its relocation, but Eco- <br />Urbanwould like the city to be a <br />negotiating partner and provide a master <br />plan for that area would be important. <br />16 <br />
