It is the stafPs opinion that: <br /> (1) The vacation would not hinder the growth or orderIy development of the unit or <br /> neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous. <br /> � The petitioner owns all the adjacent properties along the right-of-way to be vacated. <br /> It is our understanding that the vacation will not only address security and <br /> maintenance issues for the property owner but wip also assist in marketing the <br /> property for development. <br /> (2) The vacation would not make access to the lands of the aggrieved person by means of <br /> public way difficult or inconvenient. <br /> Access,to the adjacent parcels will not be affected since the petitioner owns a large <br /> percentage of the adjacent undeveloped land (see attached map). It appears that an <br /> existing private driveway located within the right-of-way to be vacated will continue <br /> to provide access to two existing houses if currently occupied. The petitioner owns <br /> both of the parcels on which these two houses are located. <br /> (3) The vacation would not hinder the public's access to a church,school, or other public <br /> building or place. <br /> The right-of-way to be vacated does not provide access to any church,school or other <br /> public building or place. <br /> SERVING:ST.JOSEPH COUNTY,SOUTH BEND,IAKEViLLE,NEW CARLISLE,NORTH LIBERTY.OSCEOLA&ROSELAND <br /> www.stj o s e p h c p u�tri n d i a n a.c o m/A re ap I a n <br />
