JOHN W. BYORNI EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR C LARRY MAGLIOZZI DEPUTY DIRECTOR JAREA PLAN COMMISSION OF ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, IN 337 W. JEFFERSON BLVD., ROOM 1140 COUNTY -CITY BUILDING. SOUTH SEND. INDIANA 46601 (574) 735.9571 August 13,2013 City of South Bend Board of Public Works 13 °i Floor, County -City Building South Bend, Indiana 46601 RE: Street Vacation Applicant :IUSB Hildreth Street East from Esther Street to the Dead End Dear Board Members: The staff has reviewed this petition. It is the staffs opinion that: (1) The vacation would not hinder the growth or orderly development of the unit or neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous. A portion of the street was vacated in 1986 and has not been a through street since that point. The street provides access to property owned by the petitioner. (2) The vacation would not make access to the lands of the aggrieved person by means of public way difficult or inconvenient. The petitioner owns all the property directly adjacent to the street being vacated. (3) The vacation would not hinder the public's access to a church, school, or other public building or place. There are no churches along the street. Properties on both sides of the street are owned by IUSB, the petitioner. (4) The vacation would not hinder the use of a public way by the neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous. The road currently dead ends in to property owned by the petitioner. The street does not serve as a public access to property beyond that owned by the petitioner. Due to the above stated reasons, the staff recommends that the proposed street vacation be approved. Please contact our office if you have any questions or need any additional information. Sincerely, n Angela M: Smith Planner SERVING ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, SOUTH BEND, LAKEVILLE, NEW CARLISLE.
