REGULAR MEETING JULY 11, 2011 236
<br /> by means of public way difficult or inconvenient. The vacation would not hinder the public's
<br /> access to a church, school or other public building or place. The vacation would not hinder the
<br /> use of a public right-of-way by the neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is
<br /> contiguous. Community & Economic Development stated they approve the recommendation
<br /> with some reservation about sufficient neighborhood access. They noted the only direct access
<br /> from the alley to a parking area is at 202 North Wellington. Approval of the vacation would
<br /> allow Petitioner to consolidate her property at 202 North Wellington with the property to the
<br /> south, 146 North Wellington, which she also owns. Engineering stated they have reservations
<br /> regarding the vacation satisfying the petitioner's safety and security goal. It was noted a fence on
<br /> the property would be less expensive and more affective. NIPSCO has no objections as long as
<br /> the north-south alley remains as is.
<br /> Therefore, Mr. Littrell made a motion that the Clerk send a letter to the petitioner recommending
<br /> approval of the request for vacation subject to the petitioner removing the existing approach and
<br /> alleyway concrete. Mr. Littrell recommended it would be easier to put up a security fence. Mr.
<br /> Inks seconded the motion which carried.
