Mrs. Helen Janowski, 923 South Ironwood, South Bend, Indiana, was present and advised the Board that she has lived at 923 South Ironwood for seventeen (17) years and operates a daycare from her residence. She submitted to the Board a letter signed by five (5) individuals that utilize her daycare facility which indicated that the vacating of the east/west alley would cause a dangerous problem for the people for which daycare services are provided. Mrs. Janowski also submitted a letter from Third District Councilman William Soderberg advising that he has reviewed the proposed alley to be vacated and asked that the Board consider this location thoroughly. Mrs. Janowski also submitted a letter with the signatures of her daughter, Judy Stabinik, 16555 Gerald Street, Granger, Indiana, and her son Mr. Joseph Janowski, Jr., 28488 Pine Lake, Edwardsburg, Michigan, stating that they have difficulty parking on Ironwood because of all the businesses and it would be dangerous for them to back out onto Ironwood Drive as there is no room to turn into the north/south alley. Mr. Joseph Janowski, 923 South Ironwood, South Bend, Indiana, addressed the Board and stated that he doesn't want the alley vacated because it would be dangerous to back out onto Ironwood Drive as there is a lot of heavy traffic on Ironwood. 1 C 1 103 REGULAR MEETING APRIL 17, 1989 Mr. Janowski explained for the Board the traffic flow of the alley in question. He further stated that in regards to the purpose of the alley vacation as indicated in the ordinance, he lives on the other end of the alley and has the same problems. He indicated that there will be more problems if the alley is vacated. Mr. Janowski utilized a map which he prepared to illustrate the traffic flow of vehicles through the alley in question. He indicated that his home is heated by oil and the oil delivery truck, as well as trash trucks would have a difficult time getting in and out of the alley should the proposed alley be vacated. Mr. Sheldon Maxey, 921 21st Street, South Bend, Indiana, was present and advised the Board that he is in favor of the vacation. He stated that he has no problem pulling out onto Vine Street to go north or south. He further advised that he lives across from the alley to be vacated and does experience a lot of traffic from IUSB. He stated that motorists zoom through the alley in order to avoid the stop sign. Mr. Maxey submitted to the Board written comments from Mr. Charles S. Whetstone, Petitioner, 925 21st Street, South Bend, Indiana, which indicated that Mr. Whetstone requests that the Board accept Mr. and Mrs. Sheldon Maxey to represent his opinion on this matter that he is totally in favor of this alley being vacated. Ms. Shirley Hughes, 946 South Ironwood, South Bend, Indiana, advised that she is the owner of the rental property at 925 South Ironwood, South Bend, Indiana, and does not want the alley closed. Ms. Vicky Reed, 925 South Ironwood, South Bend, Indiana, advised that she lives right on the alley, has three (3) children and does not want the alley closed. She explained that because Ironwood is very busy and dangerous, her children play in the backyard by the proposed alley to be vacated and the alley is used quite frequently by herself and other motorists. She stated that if there was an emergency, fire trucks or ambulances could not get through if the alley was closed. She stated that the turn at the intersection of the alleys is already difficult to make. Mrs. Helen Janowski addressed the Board again and stated that over the past seventeen (17) years she has helped keep the alley clean and has called the Street Department when the alley needed to be cleaned. She stated that Mr. Metzger is the one requesting the alley be closed but she is the one that has kept it clean. She also stated that this is the first time the traffic from IUSB has been brought up. She reiterated the comments that her husband made earlier that it is very dangerous to have to back -out onto Ironwood and that there is also a long wait to get out onto Ironwood. Mr. Bruce Metzger, 922 South 21st Street, South Bend, Indiana, Petitioner, submitted to the Board letters from Scott and Renne Perry, 918 South 21st Street and Barbara Wojciechowski, 930 South 21st Street, which indicated their support of the vacation of the alley. He also submitted a letter from Lucille Quirk, Petitioner, 926 South 21st Street, South Bend, Indiana, advising of her intention to allocate property to the City for an acceptable turning radius provided that the alley in question be vacated. Mr. Metzger additionally submitted to the Board a diagram of the alley to be vacated and a list of twenty-eight (28) "T" intersection alleys in River Park. Mr. Metzger advised the Board that the reason for the vacation as stated in the ordinance is that the situation is hazardous to children in the area. He advised the Board that he conducted a check of the number of vehicles utilizing the alley and counted fifty-four (54) vehicles during the course of the day. He stated 104 REGULAR MEETING APRIL 17, 1989 that one (1) vehicle went through the alley at such a high rate of speed that they could not have stopped in time had a child run into the alley. He stated that this is not an uncommon occurrence. He further stated that Mr. & Mrs. Janowski are very cautious in using the alley. Mr. Metzger informed the Board that the purpose of an alley is to provide service access to garages. He advised that there are garages on Lots 4, 5, and 6. The garage of Lot #6 is his garage. The other garages are on the north/south alley and don't use the proposed alley to be vacated to exit. He indicated that an alley is not to be a thoroughfare but service access to utilities and trash removal. Mr. Metzger then utilized a map which he also submitted to the Board to indicate the routes that could be utilized by trash removal trucks. He informed the Board that he did discuss with the Fire Department this matter and was advised that the Fire Department prefers to use the north/south alley to get to the properties and was told that a fire truck would be able to get through if needed. Mr. Metzger proceeded to explain to the Board the turning radius that he is proposing should the alley be vacated. He stated that he is allowing a minimum twenty foot (201) radius which would create a twenty foot (201) wide alley beginning at his garage to Lot #7 for sixty-two feet (621). Mr. Metzger also informed the Board that he drove through the River Park area and compiled a list of twenty-eight (28) "T" intersection alleys in River Park. None of these alleys, except the one (1) behind the library, provided additional turning space as he is proposing. He stated that he plans to construct a fence and a concrete drive between Lots #6 and #7. Mr. Metzger asked that the Board make a recommendation to the Common Council to vacate this alley. Ms. Reed informed the Board that it is her opinion that there is no way an emergency vehicle could get through the alley should the proposed alley be vacated as there is a utility pole in the way. Ms. Judy Stabinik, 16555 Gerald Street, Granger, Indiana, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Joseph Janowski, 923 South Ironwood, South Bend, Indiana, addressed the Board and stated that she visits her parents daily and does not want the alley to be vacated. She stated that her children as well as other children in the neighborhood utilize the alley to get to the public library. She also noted that traffic from the florist shop exits at the rear. She indicated that it was her opinion that it was unfair for Mr. Metzger to present findings of his traffic counts when the other residents did not conduct a traffic count of their own. She also stated that the other "T" intersection alleys Mr. Metzger mentions do not access onto Ironwood which is a dangerous street. Mrs. Sheldon Maxey, 921 21st Street, South Bend, Indiana, addressed the Board and indicated that she sits on her porch quite a bit and notices a lot of traffic going very fast through the alley, with some of those motorists being people who are coming to pick up their children at Mrs. Janowski's as well as other motorists going straight through the alley. Mr. Janowski stated that Mr. Metzger could have built his garage farther from the alley and then there would be room to turn. At this time, Mr. Leszczynski advised individuals present that the purpose of the hearing was to hear pros and cons of the proposed alley vacation and advised them to only voice their opinions and to refrain from getting personal. Mr. Sheldon Maxey advised that the florist shop mentioned previously has been vacant for a period of time and is being 1 1 105 REGULAR MEETING APRIL 17, 1989 sold. Mrs. Stabinik stated that that property remains a business so any other business could be put in that location. There being no one else present wishing to speak either for or against the proposed alley vacation, Mr. Leszczynski made a motion that the Public Hearing on this matter be closed. Mrs. DeClercq seconded the motion and it carried. Mr. Leszczynski advised that the Board has received recommendations from various City departments and bureaus regarding this proposed vacation. He stated that the Engineering Department has recommended that additional property needs to be dedicated before the alley can be vacated to accommodate adequate turning radius. As there is no property available to the north due to a garage at that property, it is their recommendation to deny the vacation. Mrs. DeClercq advised that she drove through the proposed alley to be vacated last week and the comments and concerns voiced today are also some of the concerns she had regarding this vacation. Therefore, Mrs. DeClercq made a motion that the Clerk forward to the Common Council an unfavorable recommendation regarding this proposed alley vacation. Ms. Humphreys stated that she is familiar with the location and would concur with Mrs. DeClercq that an unfavorable recommendation be sent to the Common Council. She therefore seconded the motion which carried. ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 13-1989 - DISPOSAL OF SERVICE REVOLVER Mr. Leszczynski stated that Police Chief Ronald G. Marciniak has advised that Sergeant Arletta Vance Stickley has retired, in good standing, from the South Bend Police Department, effective March 15, 1989 after twenty (20) years of service. In keeping with Section 2-124 of the Municipal Code, Chief Marciniak requested that the Board declare Sgt. Stickley's service revolver as surplus property and no longer useful to the City. He stated that this declaration by the Board will authorize the presentation of the firearm to Sgt. Stickley as a tribute for her service to the City. Therefore, upon a motion made by Mrs. DeClercq, seconded by Ms. Humphreys and carried, the following Resolution No. 13-1989 was adopted: RESOLUTION NO. 13-1989 WHEREAS, I.C. 36-9-6-1 gives the Board of Public Works of the City of South Bend the right and duty to have custody of, control of, use of, and dispose of in accordance with Indiana statutes, all real and personal property owned by the City of South Bend; and WHEREAS, the Common Council of the City of South Bend passed as amended on January 11, 1988, Ordinance No. 7847-88, which mandates the Board of Public Works of the City of South Bend to determine that the service revolver of a police officer who retires in good standing is surplus property and no longer useful to the City of South Bend; and WHEREAS, Arletta Vance Stickley has retired from the South Bend Police Department after twenty (20) years of service and the Board of Public Safety of the City of South Bend has determined that he has retired in good standing; and WHEREAS, I.C. 36-1-11-6 permits and establishes procedure for disposal of personal property which is no longer needed by the City and which is unfit for the purpose for which it was intended; lob REGULAR MEETING APRIL 17, 1989 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT Works of the City of South No. 249K770 a .357 caliber longer needed by the City which it was intended and of less than Five Hundred RESOLVED by the Board of Public Bend that service revolver Serial Smith and Wesson revolver, is no and is unfit for the purpose for has an estimated fair market value Dollars ($500.00).
