South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting —May 31, 2012 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />B. Airport Economic Development Area <br />(1) continued... <br />stated that staff needs to close on the <br />substation parcel by the end of June. That is <br />what makes this resolution urgent today. <br />Mr. Davis asked if this was a public works <br />project at this point. Ms. Kolata answered <br />no, it is a land acquisition project. For it to <br />be a public works project the Commission <br />would have to determine how the property is <br />to be used. The bulk of the property on the <br />south of Sample St. would be added to all the <br />other land that the Commission owns in <br />Ignition Park. <br />Mr. Davis asked if the Hamilton site was to <br />become a public works project, does the <br />Commission have the ability of eminent <br />domain to stop the process. Mr. Schalliol <br />stated that it is in an economic development <br />area which means the city does not have the <br />right of eminent domain. <br />Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by <br />Mr. Varner, the Commission approved <br />Resolution No. 3039 related to acquisition of <br />property in the Airport Economic Develop- <br />ment (Hamilton Towing properties). Mr. <br />Davis opposed. <br />(2) Purchase Agreement with Hamilton Body <br />Shop and Richard C. Hamilton. <br />Ms. Kolata noted that the Purchase <br />Agreement is to acquire Hamilton Body <br />Shop properties at 802 S. Lafayette, 910 S. <br />Lafayette and 917 S. Lafayette. The <br />16 <br />COMMISSION APPROVED RESOLUTION NO. 3039 <br />RELATED TO ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY IN THE <br />AIRPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (HAMILTON <br />TOWING PROPERTIES). <br />
