OF MISHAWAKA AVENUE RUNNING E. FROM 20TH STREET TO IRONWOOD, EXCEPTING THE N/S ALLEY INTERSECTIONS AND 21ST STREET, FOR A TOTAL COMBINED DISTANCE OF 565 FEET Mr. Leszczynski advised that this was the date set for the Board's Public Hearing on a proposed alley vacation described as follows: 1st east/west alley south of Mishawaka Avenue, running East from 20th Street to Ironwood Drive for approximately 565 feet in Dunn's 1st Addition within the City of South Bend, St. Joseph County, Indiana. 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 signed and filed by the following: Bruce Metzger 922 South 21st Street Charles Whetstone 925 South 21st Street Shirley Maxey 921 South 21st street Jean Metzger 922 South 21st Street Lucille Quirk 926 South 21st Street F 351 REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 29, 1990 Karen Kelly 920 South 20th Street R. Furlong 914 South 21st Street Renee Perry 918 South 21st Street Barbara Wosciechowski 930 South 21st Street Pat Suh 937 South 21st Street Rhonda Whetstone 925 South 21st Street Evelyn B. Kendziorski 917 South 21st Street Eddie Kendziorski 917 South 21st Street George Ussher 934 South 21st Street Derek Dieter 929 South 21st Street Scott Perry 918 South 21st Street Brady August 930 South 20th Street Greg Burkowski 915 South 21st Street Rosemary Majeski 914 South 21st Street Robert Proudfitt 2002 Mishawaka Avenue Sheldon Maxey 921 South 21st Street Bradley Richards 922 South 21st Street Janice Richards 922 South 21st Street It was further noted that pursuant to South Bend Municipal Code Section 18-3.8, owners whose property abut the proposed alley to be vacated, as well as those affected property owners within one hundred fifty feet (1501) of the alley to be vacated, were notified of the Board's Public Hearing date. Mr. Sheldon Maxey, 921 South 21st Street, South Bend, Indiana, Petitioner, was present and addressed the Board. Mr. Maxey stated that the proposed alley to be vacated is used more as a thoroughfare than as an alley. He noted that because of the River Park Branch of the South Bend Public Library and Indiana University at South Bend traffic through the alley has increased as individuals utilize the alley as a cut -through. Mr. Maxey submitted to the Board a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Charles Whetstone, 925 South 21st Street, South Bend, Indiana, owners of Lot #42, stating their support of the alley vacation. Additionally, Mrs. Lucille Quirk, 926 South 21st Street, South Bend, Indiana, owner of Lot #7, submitted to the Board a letter indicating her support of the alley closing. In conclusion, Mr. Maxey begged the Board's indulgence of this vacation petition. Mr. Bradley Richards, 922 21st Street, South Bend, Indiana, owner of Lot 46, addressed the Board and stated that he has lived at this address for only a few months but has observed that the alley is used quite a bit by fast moving vehicles of students leaving I.U.S.B. Mr. Robert Furlong, 914 South 21st Street, South Bend, Indiana, owner of Lot #4, advised the Board that he and his neighbor, Mrs. Perry, have small children and are very concerned about their safety due to the number of vehicles utilizing the alley at a high rate of speed putting their children in danger. Mr. Owen "Butch" Morgan, 730 Brookmede, South Bend, Indiana, representing Indiana Michigan Power Company, 100 East Wayne Street, South Bend, Indiana, submitted to the Board a letter which he read and which states that I&M has extensive facilities located in the proposed alleys to be vacated and that vacating the alleys could cause a great deal of problems for residents and businesses that are supplied power via these facilities. I&M has eight (8) utility poles located in the alley, of which three (3) are switching poles. Switching poles are used to divert power from one circuit to another circuit. This occurs when there is a power outage such as problems caused by a storm. The poles and lines in this particular alley service the following entities: I. I.U.S.B. 2. Associates Computer Center 3. South Bend Public Library/River Park Branch 352 REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 29, 1990 4. Traffic signals from Twyckenham to Logan Street on Mishawaka Avenue 5. Businesses along Mishawaka Avenue 6. A few thousand residential customers The letter further noted that if the alleys were to be vacated, property owners might unknowingly park vehicles, erect fences and other barriers that might impede access to a damaged pole or line, thus limiting I&M's ability to restore power in the safest and quickest manner. It is for these reasons that I&M recommends to the City of South Bend not to vacate these alleys. Mr. Morgan stated that I&M is certainly sensitive to the property owners and very seldom do they get involved in alley vacations to this extent. He noted that even though alleys are vacated subject to utility rights, I&M wanted to make everyone aware of the fact that there are extensive facilities located in the stretch of alley proposed to be vacated and those facilities are more than normally found. He further noted that one line is utilizing specially for the Associates Computer Center and stated that there is a concern that if barriers are.erected they would prevent restoration of power. In conclusion, Mr. Morgan noted that I&M has the ability in that alley, with three (3) switching poles,to divert power from one point to another. Mr. Joseph Janowski, 923 South Ironwood, South Bend, Indiana, addressed the Board and utilizing a diagram of the alley to be vacated and the location of his residence, illustrated what effect the closing of the alley would have on his ability to utilize his garage and space in the rear of his property where he parks his car and has access to his garage for his boat. Mr. Janowski noted that the trash trucks use this alley as well as the oil truck which delivers heating oil to his home. Mrs. Janowski submitted to the Board a Petition against the vacation of the above referred to alley signed by sixteen (16) residents of the area. Ms. Shirley Hughes, stated that she owns property at 925 and 924 1/2 South Ironwood, South Bend, Indiana, and advised that the garage of the one property faces the alley and problems would be experienced if the alley is closed. Mrs. Judy Stabinik, 16555 Gerald Street, Granger, Indiana, advised that Mr. & Mrs. Joe Janowski, 923 South Ironwood, South Bend, Indiana, are her parents and that she lived in the area and knows the problems. She stated that she would like to voice her concerns about the safety of her parents and the use of the alley by emergency vehicles should they be required. Mr. Maxey addressed the Board again and stated that he utilized the alley for maneuvering his thirty-one foot (311) trailer and that the residents abutting the alley have no intentions of blocking access to utilities or emergency vehicles. Ms. Stabinik stated that utility poles are located so close on the alley that it would make turning very difficult. She noted that her parents have lived at this residence for twenty (20) years and have kept up their property and its a shame that at this point in their lives they will be denied access to their garage. Mrs. Janowski stated that she previously ran a daycare from her _home and believes that children running into the street pose more of a problem than children playing in the alley being hit by speeding vehicles. She also noted that the utility poles are within three (3) feet of her windows to illustrate how close they live on the alley. She stated that Mr. Maxey's earlier comments about his being able to utilize the alley for his trailer do not compare to the situation they would be placed in regarding the alley abutting their property. 3531 REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 29, 1990 There being no one else present wishing to speak either for or against the proposed alley vacation, upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski, seconded by Mrs. DeClercq and carried, the Public Hearing on this matter was closed. Mr. Leszczynski stated that when an alley is vacated it reverts to private property and each abutting property owner receives one-half of the alley being vacated. If adjacent property owners decide to erect a fence on their portion it prohibits use as a driveway by other residents and delivery trucks or emergency vehicles could not get through the alley. Mr. Leszczynski informed those present that the Board is in receipt of unfavorable recommendations from the Area Plan Commission and the Fire Department concerning this vacation and is in receipt of favorable recommendations from the Department of Public Works and the Department of Economic Development. Mrs. DeClercq stated that she would like to retiterate Mr. Leszczynski's comments and indicated that once the alley is vacated and becomes private property, there is no way to enforce access concerns should property change owners and they decide to deny access by erecting fences or planting trees. Board Attorney Jenny Pitts Manier informed the Board that she has some concerns regarding the legal sufficiency of the Vacation Petition. She noted that pursuant to I.C. 36-7-3-12 Petitioners requesting the closing of an alley must own or are interested in any lots or parts of lots and want to vacate all or part of the public way in or contiguous to those lots or parts of lots. She noted that the property owners at 923 and 925 South 21st Street have not signed the Vacation Petition and are against the closing of the alley abutting their property and she questioned if any of the Petitioners had an interest in those properties. Ms. Manier stated that because she believes no other Petitioner does have an interest in those two (2) properties, she questions whether the Petition meets legal requirements. Mr. Morgan inquired if it would do any good if signs were installed in the alley indicating that it is not a through alley. Mr. Leszczynski advised that there are signs there now but people do not pay attention to that signage. Mr. Leszczynski advised the residents that if they were interested in paving the alley to eliminate flying dust and dirt and installing speed bumps, there may be some things the City could do to assist them in this endeavor. However, they would have to pay for the materials required for these improvements. A question arose whether the entire length of the alley needed to be vacated or if a portion of the alley could be closed. Mr. Leszczynski stated that the alley is too narrow and that if only a portion of the alley were vacated it would make access for a turning radius for trash trucks, delivery trucks and emergency vehicles impossible. Mr. Maxey stated that a City alley grader previously did not have trouble making a ninety (90) degree turn in the alley. Mr. Leszczynski noted that the grader most likely had to utilize private property to manipulate the turn. Mr. Maxey stated that it did not. There being no further questions or comments concerning this Vacation Petition, Mrs. DeClercq made a motion that the Petition be referred to the Common Council with an unfavorable recommendation noting the possible sufficiency of the Petition with regard to abutting property owners. Ms. Humphreys seconded the motion which carried and added that she would encourage property owners to explore the possibility of paving the alley and installing speed bumps and that the City would certainly work with the property owners in this regard. 354 REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 29, 1990 APPROVE AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES - COMBINED SEWER OVERFLOW CONTROL STUDY (GREELEY AND HANSEN) Mr. Leszczynski advised that submitted to the Board was an Agreement for Professional Engineering Services between the City of South Bend and Greeley and Hansen, Engineers, 222 South Riverside Plaza, Chicago, Illinois for the Combined Sewer Overflow Control Study. Mr. Leszczynski noted that a report regarding this study was recently presented to the Common Council at a recent caucus. Mr. Leszczynski stated that South Bend is one of the first cities along the St. Joseph river getting into the magnitude and depth of this type of study regarding the City's combined sewer overflow. It is noted that the total compensation to be paid to Greeley and Hansen for these services is $1,186,612.00. Mr. Leszczynski further noted that a correction has been made in the last sentence of the first paragraph on Page 16 and the paragraph is now as follows: CITY and ENGINEER arising out of or relating to this AGREEMENT or the breach thereof will be decided by arbitration if the PARTIES mutually agree or in any court located in St. Joseph County.

APPROVE FINANCING PROPOSAL - LEASE/PURCHASE OF NEW LEAF VACUUMS Mr. Leszczynski advised that in conjunction with the purchase of four (4) new leaf vacuums, a lease/purchase financing proposal is being submitted at this time for approval and execution. It is noted that MNC Leasing, Nottingham Centre, 502 Washington Avenue, Towson, Maryland, is being recommended.
