HEARING AND FAVORABLE TION - ALLEY VACATION: 1ST N/S ALLEY E. OF FRANCES STREET Mr. Leszczynski advised that this was the date set for the Board's Public Hearing on a proposed alley vacation described as follows: The first north/south alley east of Frances Street running south from Cedar Street for a distance of approximately 102.65 feet to the south right-of-way line of the first east/west alley south of Cedar Street, all in Hull's Subdivision. It was noted that this Public Hearing is being held in order for the Board to submit a recommendation to the Common Council concerning the Vacation Petition filed by Mr. Christopher J. Matteo, Taripp Development Corporation, 807 East Jefferson Boulevard, South Bend, Indiana. It was further noted that pursuant to South Bend Municipal Code Section 18-53.8, owners whose property abut the proposed alley to be vacated as well as those property owners within one hundred fifty feet (1501) of the alley to be vacated were notified of the Board's Public Hearing date. Mr. Christopher J. Matteo, Taripp Development Corporation, 807 East Jefferson Boulevard, South Bend, Indiana, Petitioner, was present and addressed the Board. Mr. Matteo indicated that the purpose of the vacation is to allow construction of Phase II of the Lafayette Square Townhomes, a condominium project. There being no one else present wishing to speak either for or against the proposed alley vacation, and no written objections having been filed with the Board, upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski, seconded by Mrs. DeClercq and carried, the Public Hearing on this matter was closed. REGULAR MEETING APRIL 1. 1991 Mr. Leszczynski advised Mr. Matteo that the vacation of this alley creates a fourteen (14) foot dead end alley and it is against the Board of Public Works policy to create a dead end alley. Mr. Matteo stated that there are two (2) other properties contiguous to that alley but Taripp Development owns the rest. He noted that eventually they would like to purchase these two (2) properties but at the present time the owners are not interested in selling until they can be adequately relocated. At that time, the Taripp Development Corporation will petition to vacate that alley. In the meantime these property owners can go through the parking lot as a means of access. It is noted that the properties not currently owned by Taripp Development are Lots #7 & 8. In response to Mr. Leszczynski's inquiry about the timetable for expansion of this project, Mr. Matteo advised that the project will proceed as -soon as possible and they have already begun. Mr. Matteo stated that he has no objection to providing to the City an Easement to utilize the alley for access until the other alley can be vacated. In response to Board Attorney Jenny Manier's inquiry why Mr. Matteo did not proceed with the vacation of the remaining alley, Mr. Matteo noted that should that alley be vacated at this time the property would revert to the two (2) properties he is in the process of purchasing and he preferred to wait until those properties are purchased. Mr. Leszczynski noted that the Area Plan Commission, in their review of this Vacation Petition, had some concerns about the creation of a dead end alley but if an Easement is provided that would eliminate their concern. Mr. Matteo stated that the alley is already improved and he has no objection to the granting of a Temporary Easement to the City. Therefore, Mrs. DeClercq made a motion that the Clerk forward to the Common Council a favorable recommendation regarding this Vacation Petition subject to the granting of a Temporary Easement by Taripp Development. Mr. Leszczynski seconded the motion which carried and Mr. Matteo was instructed to communicate with Board Attorney Jenny Pitts Manier concerning the drafting of the appropriate Temporary Easement. ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 13-1991 - DISPOSAL OF OBSOLETE VEHICLES In a letter to the Board, Mr. Phil St. Clair, Director, Division of Equipment Services, advised that the Division requests that the City declare obsolete and subsequently dispose of seventy-three (73) vehicles, four (4) dump beds and nine (9) miscellaneous pieces of equipment. All vehicles and equipment will be auctioned off to the highest bidder, and will be sold "as is." Bidders will be required to move all purchased equipment within ten (10) days after the auction. All purchases are final. The auction will take place at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 20, 1991 in the east parking lot of the Municipal Services Facility located at 701 West Sample Street.
