November 9, 1999 The City of South Bend Common Council County-City Building South Bend, Indiana 46601 Re: Proposed vacation of a portion of Dayton Street To the Members of the Common Council: MATHEWS PURUCKER ANELLA,INC. The Cathedral of Saint Matthew is in the process of developing a Long Range Plan and Feasibility Study. The objectives of this plan include preparing for the orderly expansion of its current school building, church, parking lot and other campus facilities. MPA Architects has been retained to assist the Cathedral in its development and design efforts. Our preliminary evaluation indicates that the most likely addition(s) to the church and/or school would occur on the south side of the present school and church buildings. Likewise, further development of its south parking lot to relieve congestion on the adjacent streets, and improvements to the school's outdoor play areas are factors in this request. In order to maintain the greatest flexibility in developing the campus plan, the Cathedral desires to vacate the portion of Dayton Street between Miami and Dale streets. On behalf of the Cathedral of Saint Matthew, we humbly request the Council's consideration of this proposed street vacation. Sincerely, William E. Coleman, Jr. AI Vice President cc: Most Rev.
