<br />UNFAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION - PETITION TO VACATE A STREET
<br />Mr. Caldwell indicated that the Common Council has submitted to the Board a Vacation Petition as
<br />completed by Mr. Stanley Kollier, 1420 Medora Street, South Bend, Indiana to vacate the following
<br />street:
<br />King Street from the east right-of-way of Medora Street east to the west line of the first
<br />north -south alley east of Medora Street for a distance of approximately 116.43 feet and a
<br />width of 60 feet. Part located in Austin Park Addition, Portage Township, City of South
<br />Bend, Indiana.
<br />Mr. Caldwell advised that the Board is in receipt of favorable recommendations concerning this
<br />Vacation Petition from the Police Department and the Fire Department. Area Plan has stated that
<br />the request does not meed at least one of the standards for vacation, that "the vacation would not
<br />hinder the use of a public way by the neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is
<br />contiguous". The vacation would result in the creation of a dead end street which does appear to be
<br />used by the surrounding residents. Area Plan recommends that no dead end streets or alleys be
<br />created unless sufficient space exists for vehicles to turn around or an easement is provided to allow
<br />vehicles to exit without having to back out. While exiting to the north along the alley is possible, it
<br />is not the best option. In addition, the vacation of King Street would hinder the provision of City
<br />services by limiting access of police and fire vehicles, postal vehicles, and snow plows. Although it
<br />does not affect the legality of the petition, Area Plan believes it is important to note that only one of
<br />the property owners on King Street, between Medora and Anderson has signed the petition to vacate.
<br />Therefore, Area Plan recommends that the request be denied. The Bureau of Sanitation, Division of
