The Petitioner is seeking this <br />alley vacation so that the proposed East Bank Townhome project to remove the mid block <br />pedestrian access to the river walk, install landscaping and maintain the landscaping and <br />appearance through the Home Owners Association of the river front townhouses. The river <br />walk will be preserved, with pedestrian access from both LaSalle and Colfax Ave. The <br />Townhome project features eight exclusive waterfront residential units. It is the intention of <br />the Petitioner to provide an ingress /egress easement in order for the River Place office to <br />maintain their rights to utilize this access. Also, in accordance with the recommendation of <br />the Board of Public Works the Petitioner is to provide a permanent easement for <br />construction, maintenance, and utility access. . <br />Because the original submission was to vacate the entire alley, cross axis easements were <br />required between all three parties. To simplify the processes, we are changing the petition to <br />vacate only the west 129 feet of the alley. This makes the process much cleaner, and we <br />will return in two weeks after new notices are sent to adjacent owners. <br />Sincerely, <br />David M. Matthews, <br />East Bank South Bend Development, LLC <br />,'jv LLIV <br />i sI.!!,: µ' ilii .0 <br />Cl <br />
