Main St & 425 N. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. (Preliminary Review) <br /> <br />Dear Ms. Smith: <br /> <br />At its March 11, 2025 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 <br />Right-of-way. If you still wish to pursue this street vacation, please bring this BPW Recommendation Packet to the <br />City Clerk’s Office, located on the 4th floor of the County-City Building. Alley/Street vacations require a <br />presentation to the Common Council, approval of an ordinance, and certification of the ordinance from the Mayor. <br />The property then must be recorded with the Recorder’s Office to ensure that your 50% ownership of the property <br />is appropriately transferred to your name. If you have any questions about how the Right-of-way vacation will affect <br />your property taxes, please contact the Auditor’s Office. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />/s/ Theresa Heffner <br /> <br />Theresa Heffner, Clerk <br /> <br /> <br />Enclosures <br />TH/hh <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
