IABONMARCHE <br /> June 27, 2025 <br /> Attn: City of South Bend, Indiana <br /> Board of Public Works <br /> 227 W. Jefferson Boulevard, Ste. 1316 <br /> South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br /> From: Chris Godlewski <br /> Abonmarche Consultants <br /> 315 West Jefferson Boulevard <br /> South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br /> C/O: Dave & Jennifer Ludwig <br /> 718 Napoleon Boulevard <br /> South Bend, Indiana 46617 <br /> Re: 710 & 718 Napoleon Boulevard - Right of Way Vacation <br /> To whom it may concern, <br /> Please accept this application for a Right of Way (ROW) Vacation on Napoleon Street between <br /> St. Louis Boulevard and St. Peter Street. The proposed vacation is 15' in width and extends the <br /> length of the Ludwig's property and the adjoining church, Holy Temple Church of God in Christ <br /> Inc. The proposed vacation would mimic certain spacing on the north side of Napoleon <br /> Boulevard and would be matched to what is proposed and existing on the south side of <br /> Napoleon. The attached graphic shows two separate vacations immediately east of the <br /> Ludwig's property and would match the ROW line and sidewalk location, this development <br /> would create ADA ramps where they do not exist now and line up with adjoining sidewalks. The <br /> Ludwig's, are in regular communication with the church and have requested the church to <br /> accompany this petition and details for a joint application are herein located. <br /> This vacation does not hinder the order growth of the neighborhood and matches existing ROW <br /> location and sidewalk placement and will be harmonious in aesthetics and appeal. This ROW <br /> vacation does not hinder or diminish access to either of the properties in any way and each <br /> parcel enjoys full access to dedicated streets. This ROW vacation does not hinder the public's <br /> access to a church, school or other public building as current access is maintained and does <br /> not restrict any additional access points. The vacation does not hinder a public way and allows <br /> vehicle, pedestrian, and bike traffic to continue. Additional ease of travel will occur with the <br /> tree lawn replacement and increased quality and accessibility of a new sidewalk. <br /> We ask that this petition be reviewed and sent on with a favorable recommendation to the <br /> board of public works for consideration. <br /> Best Regards, <br /> Chris Godlewski <br /> c/o Dave and Jennifer Ludwig <br /> 315 West Jefferson Boulevard,South Bend,IN 46601 •574.232.8700 <br /> abonmarche.com <br />
