Our clients will be vacating the above -described sections of the stated streets in order to allow for the construction of the proposed Erskine Commons Shopping Center. Attached for your convenience is a copy of the Street Vacation Ordinance, the Street Vacation Diagram with the proposed Vacated areas highlighted and also a copy of the proposed Minor Subdivision drawing showing the Lot layout for the Erskine Commons Shopping Center. In order to construct buildings over the proposed Vacated Right-of-ways, the owners must acquire the Easement Release rights to said vacated rights -of -ways. The building permit/Minor Subdivision procedure also requires that any right-of-ways and or easements be cleared of any potential easement rights, if a structure is to be placed over the vacated Street Right-of-way/easement area. This process requires that we receive a written verification from each Utility Company confirming that there are no existing utility lines in the proposed Vacated Right-of-ways and that the Utility Company releases any easements rights in said Right-of-way areas. We would appreciate that once a field inspection or a check of your utility line location records is completed, that you would send written verification on your letterhead to us, stating that you have no utility lines in the proposed Vacated Street Right-of-ways, and that your Company releases any easements in said area. If there are any costs involved with relocation of any existing utility lines, please inform us of those estimated costs so that we may notify the City of South Bend and the owner of those amounts as soon as possible. 2422 Viridian Drive, Suite 201 .
