<br />APPROVAL OF REQUEST TO ACQUIRE CITY OWNED PROPERTY SOUTH BEND
<br />SCHOOL CORPORATION
<br />Mr. Carl P. Littrell, City Engineer, was present, and stated that on September 1, 1976, Kuert
<br />Concrete, Inc., transferred property to the City of South Bend to provide a full sixty feet wide right
<br />of way for Eclipse Place from Keller Street to Marquette Boulevard in the Vernon Heights Addition.
<br />The property transferred is thirty feet wide to the west of and parallel to the thirty feet wide half right
<br />of way of Eclipse Place. It was transferred by Warranty Deed. The property was not dedicated as
<br />public right of way. Earlier in 2000, the South Bend Common Council, upon petition by the South
<br />Bend Community School Corporation, vacated Eclipse Place from Keller to Marquette. The School
<br />Corporation intends to use the vacated right of way and the property in question for additions to the
<br />athletic facilities at LaSalle High School. Because Kuert Concrete transferred the land for public use
<br />as Eclipse Place right of way; because the School Corporation has purchased additional adjacent
<br />property from Kuert Concrete; because the Common Council has vacated Eclipse Place and other
<br />streets and alleys in support of the additions to LaSalle High School; and because the South Bend
<br />Community School Corporation has been a partner in public improvements on several recent
<br />occasions: transfer of land for Fire Station 10 and O'Brien School for use by the Parks and
<br />Recreation Department, Mr. Littrell recommended transfer of this land to the School Corporation at
<br />no charge. As Marquette Boulevard at the north end of the property has not been vacated and since
<br />part of the thirty feet width of the subject property is within the Marquette Boulevard right of way,
<br />Mr. Littrell recommended that the south 672.60 feet of the property be transferred, leaving land for
<br />a complete Marquette Boulevard intact. Therefore, upon a motion made by Mr. Inks, seconded by
<br />Ms. Roemer and carried, the transfer of property, as submitted, was approved.
