PUBLIC HEARING AND FAVORABL
14-FT. WIDE E/W ALLEY N. OF
RECOMMENDATION - ALLEY VACATION: 1ST
W. FROM BRI
(VACATED) FOR A DISTANCE OF APPROX. 66 FT.
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 14-foot wide east/west alley north of
Colfax Avenue, west from Bridge Street (vacated) for
a distance of approximately 66 feet. All being in a
part of the Original Plat of the Town of Lowell, now
a part of the City of South Bend, 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 filed by Mr. Jeffery N. Reece,
Senior Property Representative, Indiana Michigan Power Company,
One Summit Square, P.O. Box 60, Fort Wayne, 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 within fifty (50) feet of the alley to
be vacated were notified of the Board's Public Hearing date.
Mr. Jeffery N. Reece, Senior Property Representative, Indiana
Michigan Power Company, was present and addressed the Board. Mr.
Reece advised that I&M's review of its inventory of property
indicates that the above referred to alley was vacated in the
late 1920's. However, as verification of the vacation could not
be located, I&M has now petitioned to have the alley re -vacated.
Mr. Reece informed the Board that I&M is the owner of Lot No. 13
and the lots south of the alley to Colfax. He stated that they
own the parking garage on Lot No. 13 which is leased to the
Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Reece reiterated that they desire to
get verification into the record of the alley vacation as a
building is already across the alley.
Attorney Kevin Butler, One Michiana Square, South Bend, Indiana,
advised that he was present on behalf of Mr. Bert Liss, 701 Niles
Avenue, South Bend, Indiana, owner of Lot No. 14. Mr. Butler
stated that he has discussed this vacation with Mr. Reece to
insure that just that portion of the alley as indicated in the
Petition, which is located to the south of Lot No. 13, would be
vacated. Mr. Reece assured Mr. Butler that he was correct and
Mr. Butler advised that he therefore has no objections.
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.

homes and serves as a deterrent to drunk driving. The bus makes
