CITY OF SOUTH BEND OFFICE OF THE CLERK <br /> I think it bumps up against the new Tree Ordinance and stuff we are looking at. I think that is a <br /> huge issue. That is one(1)we frequently hear about. We've had some contentious alley vacations. <br /> So, what are other cities doing with their alleys in terms of maintenance? If that space if going to <br /> be vacated, what are the intended uses from a good planning standpoint? At least in my district, <br /> there are a lot of alley ways that are in really rough shape.That imposes problems on the neighbors <br /> with the noise and things. So, what are we going to do with our alley ways? Are we looking to <br /> allow people to incorporate those? What are we looking at? What is a good plan perspective? <br /> Committee Chair Voorde stated, In terms of that, I think there is still a general policy of vacating <br /> anything that we can and that is reasonable that doesn't cause any undue burden on anyone. I think <br /> that was mainly because that was something less that we had to maintain. The maintenance of <br /> alleys, I think it's fair to say,isn't what it once was but that is because there are fewer people doing <br /> it. It slipped in priority to something else. It needs attention, though. <br /> Committeemember White requested an update on the illegal dumping program and the graffiti <br /> removal program. <br /> With no further discussion, Committee Chair Voorde adjourned the Organizational Meeting of the <br /> Public Works and Property Vacation Committee at 4:03 p.m. <br /> Resp ctfu Submitted <br /> John Voorde, Committee Chair <br /> EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT <br /> 455 County-City Building 1227 W.Jefferson Bvld South Bend,Indiana 46601 p 574.235.92211f 574.235.9173 TTD574.235.5567 www.southbendin.gov <br /> 2 <br />
