South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Special Meeting—January 18, 2012 <br /> 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> A. South Bend Central Development Area <br /> (5) continued... <br /> Terre Haute, Indiana, where they've asked <br /> nearby businesses and have been told that <br /> clinic patients do shop there. Many people <br /> make their trip to the VA clinic a shopping <br /> trip to South Bend, as well, so there should <br /> be some positive impact on downtown <br /> business. <br /> Ms. King asked about the negotiation of the <br /> price with Gates and the difference between <br /> the high appraisal that Gates received and the <br /> city's appraisals. That just became part of <br /> the negotiations? Mr. Inks responded, yes. <br /> Mr. Varner asked if ACS operates as a"for- <br /> profit" corporation and therefore taxable. <br /> Mr. John Earnest responded that it does <br /> operate as a for-profit corporation and is <br /> taxable. <br /> Ms. King asked Mr. Schalliol to explain what <br /> buildings are on the property. Mr. Schalliol <br /> pointed out the buildings and lots on a map <br /> provided. Ms. King asked what will be <br /> occupied and what will be left alone at this <br /> time. Mr. Schalliol noted that the front half <br /> of the Gates Toyota Building will be <br /> occupied by the VA clinic. There is a second <br /> floor for possible expansion. The whole <br /> Western Avenue frontage will be used for <br /> parking. <br /> Mr. Downes asked whether the current <br /> parking at the site is adequate for the clinic. <br /> Mr. John Earnest replied that the 147 parking <br /> spaces will be more than enough. <br /> 16 <br />
