Michigan St. (Preliminary Review) <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Costello: <br /> <br />At its January 24, 2023 meeting, the Board of Public Works reviewed comments by the Engineering <br />Division, Community Investment, Fire Department, Police Department. The following comments and <br />recommendations were submitted: <br />Per IC 36-7-3-13, the vacation would not hinder the growth or orderly development of the unit or <br />neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous. The vacation would not make <br />access to the lands of the aggrieved person by means of public way difficult or inconvenient. The <br />vacation would not hinder the public’s access to a church, school or other public building or place. <br />The vacation would not hinder the use of a public right of way by the neighborhood in which it is <br />located or to which it is contiguous. <br /> <br />Therefore, the Board of Public Works submitted a favorable recommendation for the vacation of this <br />right-of-way subject to easements for existing municipal utilities. If you still wish to pursue this right-of-way <br />vacation, please bring this BPW Recommendation Packet to the City Clerk’s Office, located on the 4th floor of the <br />County-City Building. Right-of-Way vacations require a presentation to the Common Council, approval of an <br />ordinance, 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 name. If <br />you have any questions about how the right-of-way vacation will affect your property taxes, please contact the <br />Auditor’s Office. <br /> <br /> Please notify us when this work is complete. If you have any further questions, please call this office at <br />(574) 235-9251. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />/s/ Theresa Heffner <br /> <br />Theresa Heffner, Clerk <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Enclosures <br />TH/lh <br />
