South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting—November 29, 2012 during the platting process for the Northeast Triangle. The transfer of these two properties were to have been part of the prior transfer,but were inadvertently omitted from transfer resolution. Mr. Davis asked whether the Triangle Neighborhood, originally envisioned as mixed income, is still envisioned as mixed income. Or are the lower income people now being relocated to other areas of the city? Mr. Schalliol responded that the answer to that is twofold. First,the two properties are being transferred to the NNRO which will then transfer them to Notre Dame in exchange for property that Notre Dame has previously transferred to the NNRO. It's part of a long chain property transfers. These two properties along Eddy St. are not part of the 70/30 mixed income commitment in the Northeast Triangle. That commitment is firm. Ms. Jones noted that the Triangle Neighborhood is defined as the east side of Georgiana over to and through Duey St. So 1028 and 1104 N. Eddy are not within the Northeast Triangle. Upon a motion by Mr. Alford, seconded by Mr. Downes and unanimously carried,the Commission approved Resolution No. 3107 authorizing the transfer of real property to the Northeast Neighborhood Revitalization Organization(1028 and 1104 N. Eddy) G. Douglas Road Development Area There was no business in the Douglas Road Development Area. H. Ratification of Services Contracts Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Mr. Varner and unanimously carried, the Commission ratified the services contracts approved by staff since the November 8, 2012 meeting. 7. PROGRESS REPORTS Mr. Inks noted that its November 8, 2012 meeting staff sought approval from the Commission to do a minor subdivision of the Blackthorn Corporate Office Park for a medical office development. It's a 5400 square foot, almost$2 million project. It's a medical use dialysis operation, very similar to Nephrology, which is already located in the Blackthorn Corporate Office Park. The buyer of that property is a Fortune 200 company. In reading the covenants and restrictions for the office park, they wanted clarification about their particular use being allowed. The definition for Corporate Office space is fairly broad and doesn't specifically reference medical use. They have asked for a letter from the Redevelopment Commission to confirm that their particular use is a permitted use, and designated for this particular site. The various sites in Blackthorn are designated as either Corporate Office or Medical or Educational. The site being looked at is a corporate office site located immediately west of Blue Heron,just across the golf course. A letter has been drafted which says that the Commission finds the use consistent with the uses allowed under the Blackthorn 12
