Voorde, <br />13.~~ P~~. ~ coo-o y <br />Attached you will fmd a petition to vacate a portion Kalorama Street west of Hill <br />Street, the related Ordinance, envelops addressed and stamped for certified mail to all <br />property owners within 150 feet of the right-of--way to be vacated, a check for the $150.00 <br />filing fee, and the radius map provided by the City Engineer's Office. <br />The proposed street vacation will allow for an inf~ll housing project on Hill Street, <br />which is being carried out by the Northeast Neighborhood Revitalization Organization in <br />partnership with the Madison Center. These entities own several lots to the north and south of <br />the proposed vacation, which will be replated to allow for single-family home construction. <br />As planned, this project will make ten to fifteen developable lots available to builders and <br />three to four of the new homes to be built will be reserved for low to moderate income <br />households. This vacation will directly enable two additional building sites, increase property <br />tax receipts to the City through housing development, and lessen the burden on the City to <br />maintain a portion of a street that serves no functional purpose. <br />The Board of Public Works reviewed the proposed street vacation, and no <br />unfavorable recommendations were received from City departments. <br />Please let me know if you or Council members have any questions regarding this <br />matter. <br />~~ ~t~~~~ <br />^~.~~~! ~ <br />,~ . <br />.~;~ ~: ~. <br />Sincerely, <br />Phil Byrd, Executive Director <br />South Bend Heritage Foundation <br />Northeast Neigh.
