LUECKE, MAYOR <br />BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />October 28, 2002 <br />Members of the Common Council <br />Council Chambers <br />County-City Building, 4th Floor <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />RE: Alley Vacation <br />Dear Members of the Council: <br />PHONE 574/ 235-9251 <br />Fax 574/235-9171 <br />TDD 574/ 235-5567 <br />In accordance with Municipal Code Section 18-53.8, a favorable recommendation is being submitted <br />to the Common Council concerning an alley vacation on the following: <br />The first north/south alley east of Michigan Street from Navarre Street to Bartlett Street for a <br />distance of 586 feet and a width of 14 feet. Being a part of Rockstroh Brothers Subdivision in the <br />City of South Bend, St. Joseph County, Indiana. <br />Favorable recommendations concerning this Vacation Petition were received from the Area Plan <br />Commission, Police Department, Sanitation, Department of Economic Development and the Department of <br />Public Works. The Fire Department stated they would need to see future plans for development in <br />conjunction with fire and safety protection. Area Plan stated that bythe information provided on the petition, <br />it is unclear whether or not the petitioner owns at least 50 percent of the land adjacent to the alley. Also, <br />many of the properties along the alley need the alley to gain access to either parking areas and/or the rear <br />of their buildings. If the alley is vacated than some of the adjacent property owners will not have sufficient <br />access to their property. Area Plan recommends that across-access easement be created for all potentially <br />aggrieved property owners. If adequate access to these properties is not obtained through such an easement, <br />Area Plan recommends denial of the petition to vacate the alley. In addition, it is recommended that <br />utility easements be created as necessary. Engineering concurs with Area Plan. <br />Therefore, the Board submits to you a favorable recommendation concerning this vacation, <br />subject to any utility easements that may be necessary. <br />Si cerely, ~ <br />ela 7acob, ler <br />Attachments <br />c: Rosemary Mandrici, Assessor's Office <br />Melinda Stopcrynski, Auditor's Office <br />
