Dawn Jones, City Clerk <br />4th Floor, County-City Building <br />227 W Jefferson Blvd. <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />RE: Alley Vacation for FNWNA Development <br />March 9, 2022 <br />Dear Clerk Jones, <br />Filed in Clerk ·s Officer--- <br />LMA�� 2022] <br />DAWN M. JONES CITY CLE�_K, SOUTH BENO, IN <br />We are excited to be moving forward in the development of affordable housing units in our <br />neighborhood. Due to the zoning requirements, we are not allowed to create curb cuts to enter <br />the property from Meade St. so our site plan has the garage facing the alley. Currently, the alley <br />is not passable with overgrown bushes and even neighbor-made barriers created years ago. <br />Our hope is to gain ownership of the area so that we might improve the pathway behind the <br />homes with pavement, lighting, and fencing to increase the safety for homeowners entering their <br />property from behind and make it easier to clear a path through the snow in the winter. <br />Enclosed please find the following information compiled to support the petition for alley vacation <br />from the Far Northwest Neighborhood Association: <br />1.BPW Recommendation PACKET from the Board of Public Works <br />2.Petition to Vacate signed by abutting property owners. <br />3.Draft of the ordinance <br />4.Envelopes addressed and stamped with certified mail for all property owners <br />within one hundred fifty feet (150') of the right-of-way to be vacated <br />5.Bank check made payable to the City of South Bend for the filing <br />fee of $150.00 <br />Thank you for your assistance with scheduling our hearing for the upcoming council meeting. <br />Sincerely, �-y:?w� � �L <br />Thelma L.
