REGULAR MEETING JUNE 25, 2001 The street to be vacated is Kale Street, a part of Edison Road Addition and is descried as beginning a the first north/south alley west of Hickory Road; thence west a distance of 420 feet more or less, to th west line of said Edison Road Addition and having a width of 60 feet. Being a part of said Edison Road Addition to the City of South Bend, Clay Township, St. Joseph County, Indiana. Mr. Gilot advised that the Board is in receipt of favorable recommendations concerning this Vacation Petition from the Police Department, Fire Department, Department of Economic Development and the Department of Public Works. Solid Waste did not submit a recommendation. Mr. Carl Littrell, City Engineer submitted a favorable but conditional recommendation. The parcels of real estate contiguous to the part of Kale Street proposed for vacation are owned by three parties. The properties of two of the owners are all the properties on the south side of Kale. These owners are partners in development of the real estate for a grocery and office use that is in the process of being re -zoned for those uses. The remaining contiguous property is owned by American Electric Power Company (AEP). AEP is not a petitioner on the vacation petition. It is recommended that the Board approve this petition with the condition that American Electric Power acknowledge that they do not object to the fact that if the vacation becomes effective, all but two of the parcels of real estate would have no public access. Since the power company has suspended a large electrical transmission line above this real estate, it seems apparent that this will not be a burden for them. However, this may change in the future. Upon a motion made by Mr. Gilot, seconded by Mr. Littrell and carried, the Board approved the property vacation.
