INDIA\A 46601 (514) 2)S-SIS71 November 17,2017 I City of South Bend I Board of Public Works 131 Floor,County-City Building South Bend,Indiana 46601 RE: Street&Alley Vacation Applicant:Five Corners,LLC Location: Portion Corby Between SR#23 and Arthur;Portion of Corby Between SR#23 and South Bend Avenue; I"EW Alley N of Corby Between the I"NS Alley E of SR#23 and Corby. Dear Board Members: r The staff has reviewed this petition relative to IC 36-7-3-13.It is the staff's opinion that: (1) The vacation would not hinder the growth or orderly development of the unit or neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous. These three segments of ROW are a result of the re-alignment of SR#23. The vacations would help the assimilation of small parcels into developable parcels. These three segments do not hinder the growth and development of the remaining areas of the neighborhood. (2) The vacation would not make access to the lands of the aggrieved person by means of public way difficult or inconvenient. The petitioner owns all properties adjacent to the right-of-ways being vacated,and has access to other portions of streets and alleys that remain dedicated.All other surrounding property owners continue to have access to streets and alleys that they currently have access to.The three parcels owned by Spaulding,Bakos and Ross will continue to have access to the curb cut on Corby since the vacation of that portion of Corby stops at the west property line of the Spaulding property. (3) The vacation would not hinder the public's access to a church,school,or other public building or place. No church,school or other public building or place is accessed by either the alley. (4) The vacation would not hinder the use of a public way by the neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous. The vacation will not hinder access to other adjacent public ways. The vacation request,as submitted,meets the criteria for approval.I would suggest that the Board consider shortening the right-of-way vacation by die width of at least one lot as shown on the Attached Exhibit"A".This will allow City services to continue to be provided without having to encroach on private property.
