CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br />BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />AGENDA REVIEW SESSION <br />September 19, 2013 —10:30 a.m. <br />Location: 1308 County -City Building <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />1. Location: The East /West Alley going East from Harris to the First <br />North/South Alley between Huron and the Railroad Tracks <br />2. Purpose: Security <br />3. See Comments: Area Plan Commission stated the vacation would hinder the <br />use of a public way by the neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is <br />contiguous — the properties along both Harris and Walnut use the alley for <br />access to their properties; vacating this portion would create a dead -end alley <br />that would make the use of the public way difficult; Community Investment <br />stated the vacation would leave a north/south alley stub (the nearby alley east <br />to Walnut is a paper alley) but if service provision still works without this <br />alley, approval is recommended. <br />C. Applicant: Scorpio Properties <br />1. Locations: <br />a) The North/South Alley from Jefferson Boulevard to Napier Street West of <br />Chestnut Street; <br />b) The East /West Alley West from Chestnut Street to the Second <br />North/South Alley between Jefferson Boulevard and Napier Street; <br />c) The Second North/South Alley South from Jefferson Boulevard to the <br />First East /West Alley West of Chestnut Street <br />2. Purpose: Redevelopment of Property for Residential and Commercial Uses <br />3. See Comments: Community Investment stated County property records <br />indicate the petitioner does not own 206, 208 or 210 Cherry Street. These <br />properties would be landlocked if Cherry and the alleys were vacated. The <br />Petitioner has had discussions with those owners about acquisition, but does <br />not have control or a formal option on them. If Scorpio gets ownership of <br />these properties, approval of the street and alley vacations would be <br />recommended. Nearly all adjoining parcels are vacant and the alleys are <br />overgrown and appear little used. <br />D. Applicant: Marlene Stevens <br />1. Location: The North/South Alley going North from Thomas Street to the First <br />East /West Alley between Walnut Street and Maple Street <br />2. Purpose: Security <br />3. See Comments: Fire Department stated there are garage structures at the <br />crossing of the alleys and the nearest hydrant is on Thomas Street; <br />Engineering stated applicant must maintain utility easements; Area Plan stated <br />the vacation would hinder the use of a public way by the neighborhood in <br />which it is located or to which it is contiguous — the configuration of the <br />remaining north half alley and the east /west alley may hinder the turning <br />radius, especially for larger vehicles like garbage trucks. <br />GARY A.
