1316 COUNTY-CITY BUILDING <br />SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601-1830 <br />CITY OF SOUTH BEND STEPHEN J. LUECKE, MAYOR <br />BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />June 10, 2002 <br />Members of the Common Council <br />Council Chambers <br />County-City Building, 4th Floor <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />RE: Alley Vacations <br />Dear Members of the Council: <br />PHONE 219/235-9251 <br />Fax 219/235-9171 <br />TDD 219/235-5567 <br />In accordance with Municipal Code Section 18-53.8, an unfavorable recommendation is <br />being submitted to the Common Council concerning the following alley vacations: <br />The first east/west alley south of Mishawaka Avenue from 215` Street west to the first <br />north/south alley; and the first north south alley west of 2155 Street from the first east/west <br />alley south of Mishawaka Avenue. <br />The Division of Engineering and the Area Plan Commission noted that vacating this alley <br />would be against the City Council policy of not creating dead-end alleys. Also, the vacation of this <br />alley would take away access to what appears to be a well-used alley, creating a 300 foot dead end. <br />There are several residents along this area that access their garages, and Solid Waste would be unable <br />to pick trash. The City Engineer previously met with the petitioner regarding an alternate plan, <br />however, an optional plan has not been submitted. If this alley is vacated, Area Plan recommends <br />that it be done so subject to any cross-access or utility easements that may be necessary. <br />The Board of Public Works submits to you an unfavorable recommendation concerning <br />these vacations, subject to any utility easements that may be necessary. <br />Sincerely, <br />~,ti-,~ _ ~,~J <br />Angela acob, Cle <br />Board of Public Works <br />c: Rosemary Mandrici, Assessor's Office <br />Melinda Stopczynski, Auditor's Office <br />
