Hill Street (Preliminary Review) <br />Dear Mr. Machiela: <br />SEP 18 <br />IN <br />At its September 13, 2022 meeting, the Board of Public Works reviewed comments by the <br />Engineering Division, Community Investment, Fire Department, Police Department. The following <br />comments and recommendations were submitted: <br />Per IC 36-7-3-13, the vacation would not hinder the growth or orderly development of the <br />unit or neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous. The vacation would <br />not make access to the lands of the aggrieved person by means of public way difficult or <br />inconvenient. The vacation would not hinder the public's access to a church, school or <br />other public building or place. The vacation would not hinder the use of a public right of <br />way by the neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous. <br />Therefore, the Board of Public Works submitted a favorable recommendation for the vacation <br />of this alley pending the applicant hiring a bonded and permitted contractor to remove the existing <br />alley entrance apron between sidewalk and N. Hill Street and installing a new six (6) inch curb <br />across the opening within thirty (30) days. If you still wish to pursue this alley vacation, please bring <br />this BPW Recommendation Packet to the City Clerk's Office, located on the 46 floor of the County -City <br />Building. Alley/Street vacations require a presentation to the Common Council, approval of an ordinance, <br />and certification of the ordinance from the Mayor. The property then must be recorded with the <br />Recorder's Office to ensure that your 50% ownership of the property is appropriately transferred to your <br />name. If you have any questions about how the alley vacation will affect your property taxes, please <br />contact the Auditor's Office. <br />If you have any further questions, please call this office at (574) 235-9251. <br />Sincerely, <br />/s/ Theresa Heffner <br />Theresa Heffner, Clerk <br />Enclosures <br />TH/lh <br />ELIZABETH A.
