S j VI ���� � � NAR A E <br />*Accounting / Payroll Services * Income Tax Preparation <br />807 West Washington Street • South Bend, Indiana • 46601 -1438 <br />r Phone: (574) 233 -6191 Fax: (574) 232-9655 <br />Monday, June 23, 2008 <br />City of South Bend <br />Board of Public Works <br />1316 County -City Building <br />227 W Jefferson Blvd <br />South Bend IN 46601 -1830 <br />RE: Board Meeting of Monday, June 23, 2008 <br />Recommendations, Section 9, Point H <br />"Alley Vacation -First North /Soutli Allev East of LaPorte Avenue Nortli from Washington <br />Street to the first East/West Alley between LaPorte Avenue and Chapin Street." <br />Dear Board-of Public Works: <br />I wish to express my appreciation to the Board for placing this issue on your agenda. As the <br />petitioner it is important to provide timely and accurate information regarding this request. I <br />believe that all parties involved in this matter need to be frilly vetted. I do not take this request <br />lightly. <br />The alley in question is exactly 8 foot wide and was created by this Board on January 9, 1923 <br />(Condemnation Resolution No. 70). The purpose of this alley was to provide connection with <br />other alleys to allow city children a path to Colfax School on Lincoln Way West. The alley is to <br />narrow for public service vehicles (Ambulance, Fire, and Solid Waste) and the connection at the <br />junction of cast/west north/south point is not a "true phis" design. The alley is a safety hazard for <br />children as those autos that can use the alley cannot see pedestrians on foot. <br />Several weeks ago I was made aware of concerns the South Bend Fire Department had with the <br />vacation issue.-I was not present when the Fire Depaihnent preformed their preliminary review <br />on April 2, 2008. Upon studying the document I contacted the Fire Department and requested <br />that we have a meeting to review their comments and reconunendations. On Thursday, June 12, <br />2008 I met with the Fire Department representative, Assistant Chief Federico Rodriguez to <br />review his concerns. He focused on issues relating to struchlres that are setback from the street <br />and possible limitations with fire hydrants. <br />I am concerned that the Board of Public Works may be uncomfortable with this matter because <br />of the Fire Department's concerns. I believe it is important that the Board make a positive <br />recommendation on this matter and that there are always ways to improve an original request. <br />
