Byorni Executive Director Assistant Director Phone 219 235-9571 Fax 219 235-9813 July 24, 1997 The Board of Public Works 13th Floor, County-City Building South Bend, IN 46601 RE: Bill No. 63-97 -Alley Vacation -The first east-west alley north of West Angela Boulevard from the east right-of--way of the first north-south alley west of North Lafayette Boulevard to the west right-of--way of West Angela Boulevard for a length of approximately 665.2 feet and a width of ap roximately 7 feet. Part located in Parkovash Addition of Navarre Place, City ofpSouth Bend. Dear Board Members: The Staff has reviewed this petition relative to IC 36-7-3-13. It is the Staff's opinion that the request does not meet a least one of the standards for vacation, that "the vacation would not make access to the lands of the aggrieved person by means of public way difficult or inconvenient." Vacation of this alley would deny access to the garages located on Lots 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, and 307. In addition, the property owners of Lots 303 through 307 have not signed the petition to vacate. While this may not affect the legality of the petition, it is the Staff's opinion that it is important to note that the property owner's that will be denied access by this vacation have not signed the petition to vacate. The Staff recommends that this petition be denied, unless it is amended to exclude at least the portion of the alley that provides access to Lots 303 through 307. It appears that Lots 308 through 316 all have access from Angela. Sincerely, loo-~-e mes Voll Senior Planner Serving South Bend, Lakeville, New Carlisle, North Liberty, Osceola, Roseland and St. Joseph County, Indiana
