The <br /> vacation would not hinder the use of a public right of way by the neighborhood in which it is located <br /> or to which it is contiguous. <br /> Therefore,the Board of Public Works submitted a favorable recommendation for the vacation of this alley. <br /> If you still wish to pursue this alley vacation,please bring this BPW Recommendation Packet to the City Clerk's <br /> Office, located on the 4th floor of the County-City Building. Alley/Street vacations require a presentation to the <br /> Common Council,approval of an ordinance,and certification of the ordinance from the Mayor.The property then <br /> must be recorded with the Recorder's Office to ensure that your 50%ownership of the property is appropriately <br /> transferred to your name. If you have any questions about how the alley vacation will affect your property taxes, <br /> please contact the Auditor's Office. <br /> In its Ordinance, the City of South Bend Common Council included the Board of Public Works' <br /> requirement that you eliminate the alley approach by hiring a private contractor bonded with the City to tear <br /> out the approach, replace with curb, and establish a tree lawn in accordance with City standards and <br /> specifications.These updates should be made within ninety(90)days of final approval from the Common Council. <br /> Please notify us when this work is complete.If you have any further questions,please call this office at(574)235- <br /> 9251. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> /s/Theresa Heffner <br /> Theresa Heffner,Clerk <br /> Enclosures <br /> TH/lh <br /> ELIZABETH A.MARADIK JOSEPH R.MOLNAR GARY A.GILOT JORDAN V.GATHERS MURRAY L.MILLER <br />
