It is the staff s opinion that: <br />(1) If all the affected properties are acquired, the vacation will not hinder the growth or <br />orderly development of the unit or neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is <br />contiguous. <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 />(3} The vacation would not hinder the public's access to a church, school, or other public <br />building or place. <br />(4) If all the affected properties are acquired, the vacation will not hinder the use of a public <br />way by the neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous. <br />The Staff recommends that these right-of--ways be vacated subject to any utility or access easements that <br />are necessary. The staff recommends that these vacations not be effective until all the affected properties <br />have been acquired. <br />Sincerely, <br />~/~ lh ~/,~::~e~'~tc, <br />Andrew Videkovich <br />Planner <br />Serving South Bend, Lakeville, New Carlisle, North Liberty, Osceola, Roseland and St. Joseph County, Indiana <br />
