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 access <br />to the lands of the aggrieved person by means of public way difficult or inconvenient. The vacation <br />would not hinder the public’s access to a church, school or other public building or place. 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 /> <br />Therefore, the Board of Public Works submitted a favorable recommendation for the vacation of this street <br />subject to access of the fire hydrant. The vacation will need to be three (3) feet less to the East with added No <br />Parking Striping and Bollards. If you still wish to pursue this street vacation, please bring this BPW <br />Recommendation Packet to the City Clerk’s Office, located on the 4th floor of the County-City Building. Alley/Street <br />vacations require a presentation to the Common Council, approval of an ordinance, and certification of the ordinance <br />from the Mayor. The property must then be recorded with the Recorder’s Office to ensure that your 50% ownership <br />of the property is appropriately transferred to your name. If you have any questions about how the street vacation <br />will affect your property taxes, please contact the Auditor’s Office. <br /> <br /> If you have any further questions, please call this office at (574) 235-9251. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />/s/ Theresa Heffner <br /> <br />Theresa Heffner, Clerk <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Enclosures <br />TH/lh
