JEFFERSON BLVD., ROOM f 140 COUNTY•CITY BUILDING, SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 (574) 235.4571 November 15, 2012 City of South Bend Board of Public Works 131 Floor, County-City Building South Bend, Indiana 46601 RE; Street Vacation Applicant. Dave Matthews Location. 160.39' of the right-of-way on the East Side of Niles Ave at the intersection of Jefferson Blvd and Niles Ave Dear Board Members: The staff has reviewed this petition. It is the staff's opinion that: (1) 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 will benefit a new development. (2) The vacation would not make access to the lands of the aggrieved person by means of public way difficult or inconvenient. The staff does not feel access would be difficult as long as the turning radius still meets City standards. (3) The vacation would not hinder the public's access to a church, school, or other public building or place, There is no church, school or public building adjacent to the proposed vacation. (4) The vacation would not hinder the use of a public way by the neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous, Given the small size of the vacation, the use of the overall street should not be affected. Due to the above stated reasons, the staff recommends that the proposed alley vacation be approved. Please contact our office if you have any questions or need any additional information. Sincerely, h( Christa Nayder Planner SERVING ST. JOSEPH COUNTY. SOUTH FEND, LAKEVILLE. NEW CARLISLE, NORTH LIBERTY, OSCEOLA, & ROSELAND WWW,STJCSEPHCOUNTYtNDIANA.COM
