(Preliminary Review) <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Danch & Ms. Smith: <br /> <br />At its March 12, 2024 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 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 right- <br />of-way subject to utility easements. If you still wish to pursue this right-of-way vacation, please bring this BPW <br />Recommendation Packet to the City Clerk’s Office, located on the 4th floor of the County-City Building. Right-of- <br />way vacations require a presentation to the Common Council, approval of an ordinance, and certification of the <br />ordinance from the Mayor. The property then must be recorded with the Recorder’s Office to ensure that your 50% <br />ownership of the property is appropriately transferred to your name. If you have any questions about how the right- <br />of-way vacation will affect your property taxes, please contact the Auditor’s Office. <br /> <br /> These updates should be made within ninety (90) days of final approval from the Common Council. Please <br />notify us when this work is complete. 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 />Enclosures <br />TH/lh <br /> <br />
