City's Common Council, the Jeffersonville Plan Commission and the Jeffersonville
Redevelopment Commission ("Commission") in conformance with IC 36-7-14.
Project Objectives.
The purposes of the Plan are:
To develop riverfront property formerly known as Jeff Boat to include the both
residential and commercial uses with dedicated public space by making certain
improvements to public infrastructure including roads, sewers, utilities, levees and other
public ways and greenspace.
The factual report attached to this Plan contains the supporting data for the above
declared purposes ofIthe Plan.
Description of Project Area.
The Area is in the City and is described as that area set forth on the map attached as
Exhibit A to the Declaratory Resolution.
Project Description.
The redevelopment of the Area may include the capital improvements described as
follows in, serving or benefitting the Area (collectively, "Projects"):
• Public road and sewer improvements
• Greenspace and parks
• Other public facilities and public ways
and the acquisition of necessary rights of way or easements.
Ac uisition of Pro ert. .
The Commission has no immediate plans to acquire real property in the Area. If the
Commission later determines to acquire real property, it will amend the declaratory
resolution and this Plan. If privately owned parcels are needed, the Commission shall
follow procedures in IC 36-7-14-19 in any current or future acquisition of property. The
Commission may not exercise the power of eminent domain in an economic development
area.
6
Procedures with respect to the Projects.
In accomplishing the Projects, the Commission may proceed with the Projects before the
acquisition of all interests in land in the Area.
All contracts for material or labor in the accomplishment of the Projects shall,to the extent
required by law, be let under IC 36-1.
In the planning and rezoning of real property acquired or to be used' in the
accomplishment of the Plan; the opening, closing, relocation and improvement of public
ways; and the construction, relocation, and improvement of sewers and utility services;
the Commission shall proceed in the same manner as private owners of the property.
The Commission may negotiate with the proper officers and agencies to secure the
proper orders, approvals, and consents.
Any construction work required in connection with the Projects may be carried out by the
appropriate municipal or county department or agency. The Commission may carry out
the construction work if all plans, specifications, and drawings are approved by the
appropriate department or agency and the statutory procedures for the letting of the
contracts by the appropriate department or agency are followed by the Commission.
The Commission may pay any charges or assessments made on account of orders,
approvals, consents, and construction work with respect to the Projects or may agree to
pay these assessments in installments as provided by statute in the case of private
owners.
None of the real property acquired for the Projects may be set aside and dedicated for
public ways, parking facilities, sewers, levees, parks, or other public purposes until the
Commission has obtained the consents and approval of the department or agency under
whose jurisdiction the;property will be placed.
Disposal of Property.
The Commission may dispose of real property acquired, if any, by sale or lease to the
public after causing to be prepared two (2)separate appraisals of the sale value or rental
value to be made by'independent appraisers. However, if the real property is less than
five (5) acres in size land the fair market value of the real property or interest has been
appraised by one(1)independent appraiser at less than Ten Thousand Dollars($10,000),
the second appraisal may be made by a qualified employee of the Department of
Redevelopment. The Commission will prepare an offering sheet and will maintain maps
and plats showing the size and location of all parcels to be offered. Notice will be
published of any offering in accordance with IC 5-3-1. The Commission will follow the
procedures of IC 36-7-14-22 in making a sale or lease of real property acquired.
In the alternative, the Commission may follow any alternative procedures permitted by
law.
7
Financing of the Projects.
At the current time, the Commission plans to pay for the Projects on a pay-as-you-go
basis from any funds legally available to the Commission, including tax increment
revenues. The Commission may issue bonds to raise money for property acquisition and
completion of the Projects in the Area. The amount of these bonds may not exceed the
total, as estimated by the Commission of all expenses reasonably incurred in connection
with the Projects, including:
• The total cost of all land, rights-of-way, and other property to be acquired and
developed;
• All reasonable and necessary architectural, engineering, construction, equipment,
legal,financing, accounting, advertising, bond discount and supervisory expenses related
to the acquisition and development of the Projects or the issuance of bonds;
• Interest on the bonds(not to exceed 5 years from the date of issuance) and a debt
service reserve for the bonds to the extent the Commission determines that a reserve is
reasonably required;land
• Expenses that the Commission is required or permitted to pay under IC 8-23-17.
The Commission will comply with IC 36-7-14-25.1 with respect to the issuance of bonds.
As an alternative to the issuance of bonds or in conjunction with it, the Commission may
enter into a lease of any property that could be financed with the proceeds of bonds under
IC 36-7-14. The lease is subject to the provisions of IC 36-7-14-25.2 and IC 36-7-14-
25.3.
As a further altemative, the Commission may pledge tax increment pursuant to IC 36-7-
14-39(b)(4)(D)to any bonds issued by the City.
Amendment of the Plan.
By following the procedures specified in IC 36-7-14-15(d), IC 36-7-14-16, IC 36-7-14-17
and IC 36-7-14-17.5, the Commission may amend the Plan for the Area. However, any
enlargement of the boundaries of the Area must be approved by the Board of
Commissioners.
