The following comments and recommendations were submitted: Per IC 36-7-3-13,the vacation would not hinder the growth or orderly development of the unit or neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous.The vacation would not make access to the lands of the aggrieved person by means of public way difficult or inconvenient. The vacation would not hinder the public's access to a church, school or other public building or place. The vacation would not hinder the use of a public right of way by the neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous. Therefore, the Board of Public Works submitted a favorable recommendation for the vacation of this alley. The Board submitted an unfavorable recommendation for the Street vacation as it does not meet two(2)of the four(4)I.C. 36-7-3-13 criteria(2,4)and due to the loss of the fire hydrant access. If you still wish to pursue this alley vacation,please bring this BPW Recommendation Packet to the City Clerk's Office, located on the 41h floor of the County-City Building. Alley/Street vacations require a presentation to the Common Council, approval of an ordinance, and certification of the ordinance from the Mayor. The property then must be recorded with the Recorder's Office to ensure that your 50%ownership of the property is appropriately transferred to your name. If you have any questions about how the alley vacation will affect your property taxes, please contact the Auditor's Office. If you have any further questions,please call this office at(574)235-9251.
