GILOT, P.E. <br />DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />August 26, 2002 <br />David Varner, Chairperson <br />Public Works and Property Vacation Committee <br />South Bend Common Council <br />455 County-City Building <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Re: Bill No. 40-02 <br />Vacation of E-W Alley South of Mishawaka Avenue <br />Dear Dr. Varner: <br />On August 22, I met with Jim Masters, attorney representing the Saint Joseph County Public <br />Library, and Mick Tuesley, attorney representing Robert L. Proudfit, O.D. The Library is the <br />petitioner for Bill No. 40-02 and owns/occupies the real estate surrounding the alley in question. <br />Dr. Proudfit is the owner of the property west of the Library and the petitioner for a successful <br />vacation of alleys in the west half of that block several years ago. <br />The Library and Dr. Proudfit have agreed on a means to overcome the creation of a dead end <br />alley that would result from the Library's petition. Their plan is to dedicate a new alley on the south <br />side of Dr. Proudfit's land that would connect 20`h Street to the alley, thus overcoming the "dead <br />end" issue. <br />When the Library and Dr. Proudfit complete their separate developments and develop this <br />new public alley, safety will be improved on each of their lots and in the public right of way. I <br />recommend that the Council approve the petition to vacate the alley in question contingent upon <br />making the improvements needed to dedicate the new alley on the west side of the block and <br />accomplishing the dedication. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~ <br />Carl P.
