REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 20, 1992 <br />Mr. Leszczynski indicated that there are two (2) options the <br />Board can take at this time. They can approve the Petition as <br />presented or the Petition can be recommended for denial in order <br />that Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Miller can get together and come back <br />with a new Petition which included the proposed cul-de-sac. <br />Mrs. DeClercq stated that she has a concern because it has been <br />brought to the Board's attention that the resident at 1429 Wall <br />Street (Lot 648) would not have access to their garage should <br />this vacation be approved. Mrs. DeClercq noted that the <br />recommendation from the Engineering Department indicates that <br />access to this property would be curtailed. <br />Mr. Leszczynski informed Mr. Sullivan that residents who use the <br />alley as access would receive one half (1/2) or seven feet (7') <br />of the alley should it be vacated and a driveway could not be <br />built on seven feet (7'). Mr. Sullivan stated that he did not <br />see that as an overwhelming concern as he has the same problem <br />which he sees as solveable by utilizing another seven feet (7') <br />of his own property to form a new driveway. Mr. Leszczynski <br />informed Mr. Miller that this is the type of problem that must be <br />resolved before the matter comes to the Board for <br />recommendation. Mr. Sullivan reminded Mr. Leszczynski that at <br />the present time it is his Petition that is before the Board. <br />Mrs. Fields again advised the Board that there is no emergency <br />access to her property should the alley be vacated and she would <br />have no entrance into her garage which would make it very <br />inconvenient for her. Mr. Leszczynski reminded Mrs. Fields and <br />others present that the Public Hearing is closed and only <br />comments invited by members of the Board would be heard. <br />Mr. Leszczynski indicated that the Board is in receipt of <br />negative comments from the Engineering Department, Area Plan <br />Commission and the South Bend Fire Department concerning this <br />proposed vacation. <br />Mr. Leszczynski noted that it is his belief that all of the <br />concerns could be negated if the Petitioners work together to <br />make a master plan for the area and to talk to all the residents <br />on Twyckenham and work out any problems that might be incurred <br />due to the closing of the alleys. <br />Mr. Leszczynski stated that based on the recommendations received <br />and comments heard at the Public Hearing, he would make a motion <br />that this Vacation Petition be sent to the Common Council with an <br />unfavorable recommendation at this time. Mrs. DeClercq seconded <br />the motion which carried. <br />In closing, Mr. Leszczynski advised the Petitioner that there are <br />a lot of questions that need to be answered regarding this <br />vacation. <br />ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 1-1992 - ADOPTING A WRITTEN FISCAL PLAN AND <br />ESTABLISHING A POLICY FOR THE PROVISION OF SERVICES TO AN ANNEXED <br />AREA IN GERMAN TOWNSHIP <br />Mr. Larry Magliozzi, Department of Economic Development, was <br />present and asked the Board to consider adoption of the <br />Resolution it has before them today and to approve the Fiscal <br />Plan which is part of the Resolution. Mr. Magliozzi stated that <br />this Resolution and Fiscal Plan involves the annexation of <br />property comprised of six (6) lots located in the Toll Road <br />Industrial Park and is part of the Airport 2010 Project. <br />Mr. Magliozzi noted that improvements that still need to be <br />completed will be done as part of the Capital Improvement <br />Project. Also, public works, police and fire protection can be <br />
