<br />PUBLIC HEARING - REOUEST FOR DE -ANNEXATION OF PARCEL OF LAND ON THE
<br />NORTH SIDE OF SOUTH BEND NEAR CLEVELAND ROAD
<br />Mr. Gilot advised that this was the date set for the Board's Public Hearing concerning a request for
<br />de -annexation of a parcel of land on the north side of South Bend, as submitted in the legal
<br />description, by Mark and Debra Weaver, 20090 Brookwood Drive, South Bend, Indiana. It was
<br />noted that Mark and Debra Weaver submitted a petition to the Board of Public Works for de -
<br />annexation of the parcel of land. They stated that the parcel is not being serviced by any City of
<br />South Bend utilities.
<br />Ms. Aladean DeRose, Legal Department, was present, and stated that this de -annexation has unusual
<br />and unique circumstances. This parcel of land consists of 10.49 acres, and is the only residential
<br />property in an area within two (2) miles from any incorporated part of the City of South Bend. Water
<br />and sewer utilities are located more than 2,000 feet, and cost to connect to these services is cost
<br />prohibited to the City of South Bend. Extending the utilities to this site would be cost prohibitive
<br />and would not be practical. The Findings of Fact (twelve issues) were presented to the Board, which
<br />were found to be accurate and true, and were verified by Mr. Larry Magliozzi, Planning Department.
<br />Based on these findings, Ms. DeRose and Mr. Magliozzi recommended approval of the request for
<br />de -annexation.
<br />There being no one else present wishing to address the Board concerning this matter, the Public
<br />Hearing was closed.
<br />Therefore, upon a motion made by Mr. Inks, seconded by Mr. Littrell and carried, the request for de -
<br />annexation was approved.
