PUBLIC HEARING AND FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION - ALLEY VACATION: 1ST
E/W ALLEY S. OF L.W.W. RUNNING EAST FROM RYER ST. TO 1ST
INTERSECTING N/S ALLEY FOR A DISTANCE OF 120 FEET
Mr. Leszczynski advised that this was the date set for the
Board's Public Hearing on a proposed alley vacation described as
follows:
The 1st east/west alley south of Lincolnway West
running east from Ryer Street to the lst intersecting
north/south alley for a distance of 120 feet, all being
in Alwards addition and Brentwood Estates 4th addition to
the City of South Bend, IN
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 submitted by Mr. Julius H.
DeLanghe, 1240 Ryer Street, South Bend, Indiana as the Contact
Person on behalf of Mr. Alfred Brandt, 3318 Lincolnway West, Mr.
Raman Patez, 3300 Lincolnway West and Mr. Robert Wozniak, 1233
North Iowa Street, South Bend, Indiana. It was further noted
that pursuant to South Bend Municipal Code Section 18-53.8,
owners of property within fifty (50) feet of the alley to be
vacated were notified of the Board's Public Hearing date.
Mrs. Mardelle DeLanghe, 1240 Ryer Street, South Bend, Indiana,
was present and advised the Board that she and her husband have
been maintaining the area for years and that the alley is not
used. She further stated that there is a north/south alley that
is open and used. Also, they have had problems with vandalism in
the past. Therefore, for that reason and the fact that the alley
is not being used by anyone, it was felt that a better use of the
alley would be to have it vacated.
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.
Mr. Leszczynski advised that the Board has received responses
from various departments regarding this proposed vacation and
that the Engineering Department and the Department of Economic
Development recommend approval. The Area Plan Commission,
however, has stated that they have some concerns with the
vacation of the alley and continued access to the garage located
on Lot #183.
As it was noted that Mr. & Mrs. DeLanghe are the property owners
of Lot #183, Mr. Leszczynski advised Mrs. DeLanghe that should
the alley be vacated, only one-half (1/2) of the alley would go
to them and inquired of her if that would be adequate access to
their garage. Mrs. DeLanghe indicated that she understood and
inquired if it would be possible for them to buy the other
one-half (1/2) of the alley if it were vacated. She was informed
that they could purchase the other one-half (1/2) of the alley if
the other abutting property owner agrees to sell it to them.
