PUBLIC HEARING AND FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION - ALLEY VACATION: 1ST
NIS ALLEY W. OF WILLIAM ST. FROM WAYNE ST. SO. TO THE SOUTH LINE
Mr. Leszczynski advised that this was the date set for the
Board's Public Hearing on a proposed alley vacation described as
the first north/south alley West of William Street, from Wayne
Street, South to the South line of the North half of Lot 8,
Vail's Southwest Addition, Block 6.
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. Van E. Gates, 401
South Lafayette Street, 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 were
notified of the Board's Public Hearing date.
Mr. K.C. Pocius, 312 South Taylor Street, South Bend, Indiana,
addressed the Board and stated that he was representing himself
as well as Mr. Gerry Upton, who owns the property at 316 South
Taylor Street, South Bend, Indiana.
Mr. Pocius presented to the Board a letter from Mr. Gerry Upton
opposing the vacation of the above referred to alley and outlined
the concerns Mr. Upton stated in his letter. The letter advised
that the vacation of the alley will injuriously damage Mr.
Upton's property in several ways as follows:
- It will cut off access to the garage at the rear of 316
South Taylor. In the winter, the only access possible is
often from the Wayne Street side due to lack of plowing and
drifting snow in the "open" portions of the alley.
- It will cut off access to the rear of the residence at 312
South Taylor Street.
- It will cause a security problem by preventing police from
having access through the alley and also because the nature
of the vehicles being stored will even further obscure sight
to adjacent properties.
- It will cause environmental deterioration of the
residential portion of the neighborhood by bringing an
intense commercial use even closer to low -intensity
residential uses.
Mr. Pocius additionally submitted to the Board photographs of the
proposed alley to be vacated as well as an aerial map of the
location.
In response to Ms. Barnard's statement that it appears that there
are two (2) approaches to Mr. Pocius' garage, Mr. Pocius stated
that the vacation of the proposed alley would cut off one
approach to his garage and backyard as well as the property at
316 South Taylor Street.
Mr. Leszczynski inquired of Mr. Pocius whether he was aware that
the alley behind his garage was not being vacated. Mr. Pocius
stated that he was aware of that fact but that vacating the alley
as proposed would cut-off access and use of the alley to him.

REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 5, 1986
Mrs. Tony Pocius, 312 South Taylor Street, South Bend, Indiana,
wife of K.C. Pocius and daughter of Mr. Gerry Upton, property
owner of 316 South Taylor Street, South Bend, Indiana, advised
the Board that in the past access to the her backyard via the
alley was essential for repair services. Should the alley be
vacated, access to her backyard would not be possible. Further,
by closing the alley, trash pick-up would have to take place in
front of the properties. Mrs. Pocius additionally advised the
Board that Gates Chevrolet currently utilizes guard dogs to
protect their property that bark quite alot and create a
temptation to the children of the area.
Mr. Bill Gates, representing Van E. Gates, 401 South Lafayette
Street, South Bend, Indiana, stated that as a result of the
construction of a baseball stadium, the City has acquired 90,000
square feet, by way of acquisition of four (4) parcels of
property previously utilized by Gates for storage and parking.
In an attempt to recoup five hundred (500) parking spaces for
employees and customers, this alley vacation is being proposed.
He stated that Gates has recently purchased a lot on William
Street for the storage of vans. He stated that the problem of
access to the garages at 312 and 316 Taylor Street could be
worked out so that access would still be possible.
In response to Ms. Barnard's question regarding whether or not
the fence would be moved by Gates, Mr. Gates stated that it would
be their intention to move the fence should the alley be vacated.
Mr. Pocius stated that what would be good security for Gates
would be obscured sight for the property owners. Mrs. Pocius
stated that she has already observed a hole in the Gates fence.
She further stated that as she has a small child and utilizes a
stroller, and therefore prefers use of the cement alley behind
her home as opposed to the unimproved E/W dirt alley.
In response to Ms. Barnard's inquiry of whether or not Gates
purchased the property on the other side of the alley, Mr. Gates
acknowledged that Gates has purchased that property.
Ms. Barnard stated that that property is properly zoned "D"
There being no one else present wishing to speak either for or
against this proposed alley vacation, upon a motion made by Mr.
Leszczynski, seconded by Ms. Barnard and carried, the Public
Hearing on this matter was closed.
Mr. Leszczynski advised that it is the recommendation of the
Engineering Department that additional right-of-way on the
east/west alley and the north/south alley for a safe turn
movement and trash pick-up be dedicated.
Mr. Gates advised that they are in the process of negotiating the
purchase of some land in the southeast quadrant in order to
dedicate sufficient right-of-way and was hopeful that something
could be worked out. Therefore, he had no objections to the
suggestion that property be dedicated.
Mr. Leszczynski further advised that the Department of Economic
Development has no objection to the vacation with the only
negative comments received from the Engineering Department who
recommended dedication of additional right-of-way and from the
Area Plan Commission.
Ms. Barnard stated that it appears that the trash pick-up problem
can be resolved.
As a point of clarification, Mr. Vance observed that the south
end of the leg of the alley is proposed to be vacated short of
access to the garages.
REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 5, 1986
In response to Mr. Pocius' statement that the Board has not
addressed the issue of stripping security from the block should
the alley be vacated, as it would create a high intense
commercial use and block access to police and fire services, as a
result of the nature of the types of vehicles being stored and
obstructing site lines of the properties, Mr. Vance stated that
there are a lot of properties within the City that do not have
access to alleys and that alleys were not created for security
purposes. Mr. Leszczynski and Ms. Barnard stated that it is
their opinion that this proposed vacation would increase the
security of the properties in the area.
Ms. Barnard advised Mr. Gates that there may be some screening
requirements and that she would be checking with the Building
Commissioner regarding that matter.
There being no further questions by members of the Board, upon a
motion made by Ms. Barnard, seconded by Mr. Leszczynski and
carried, the Clerk was instructed to forward to the Common
Council a favorable recommendation on the above referred to alley
vacation subject to the dedication of additional right-of-way to
assure a safe turn movement for vehicles and subject to any and
all utility easements.

immediately to the south of the above referred to alley.
Vacation of the alley would provide parking spaces for
approximately 25-34 vehicles and it is anticipated that this
proposed vacation would benefit traffic congestion.
Mr. Bonewitz stated that two (2) Dedications of additional
right-of-way have been submitted to provide for a safe turn
movement. The dedications are for parcels of land located in the
S.W. corner of Lot 147 and the S.E. corner of Lot 154.

REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 5, 1986
ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 17-1986 -
OF CODE ENFC
TING-OFF UN
UNTS
Ms. Katherine G. Barnard, Director, Department of Code
Enforcement, advised the Board that as a bookkeeping measure,
Resolution No. 17-1986 is being submitted for adoption. She
stated that this Resolution writes -off nine hundred eighty five
(985) uncollectable accounts from 1983 for a total of $55,145.75
and two hundred seventy (270) accounts from 1984 for a total of
$22,559.75. She stated that these fees were assessed for the
clean-up of properties. Further, attempts have been made to
collect these fees by way of billings, referral to the Legal
Department and referral to a collection service.
In response to Mr. Vance's inquiry regarding whether or not
attempts will continue to be made to collect these fees, Ms.
Barnard stated that attempts will continue and occasionally,
fees are paid years after they were incurred.
In reviewing the list of accounts that are recommended to be
written -off, Mr. Leszczynski noted that several well known
individuals and companies were listed and inquired why the City
was unable to collect from these individuals. Ms. Barnard stated
that in some instances inadequate service to the appropriate
property owner prevents attempts to collect the fees. She stated
that in some cases, the property owner of record according to the
Assessor's office records, is not accurate in that property has
changed hands or is being sold on land contract with the new
owner not being aware of the assessment.
Ms. Barnard, in response to questions from the news media
regarding the use of the phase "uncollectable" as they refer to
cases in which improper service was the basis for being
uncollectable, stated that hundreds of properties are cleaned
each week and that the objective of the clean up program is to
clean up as many properties as possible. A decision then has to
be made to either get good service or to clean the lot.
Mr. Vance advised that the problem of finding the correct
property owner and collection of fees is not a new problem but
continues to be an ongoing problem.
There being no further questions, upon a motion made by Mr.
Vance, seconded by Mr. Leszczynski and carried, the following
Resolution No. 17-1986 was approved and adopted:

APPROVE CONTRACT FOR COLLECTION SERVICES - DEPARTMENT OF CODE

Ms. Katherine G. Barnard, Director, Department of Code
Enforcement, submitted to the Board for approval a renewal
Contract between the City of South Bend and Robert Forgash d/b/a
Federated Collection Agency, Suite 138, Marycrest Building, 2015
West Western Avenue, South Bend, Indiana, as the collection agent
for past due Department of Code Enforcement accounts for the
period July 25, 1986 through July 25, 1987. It was noted that
Federated shall be reimbursed at a rate of thirty-five per cent
(35%) of each account collected. Ms. Barnard stated that the
City has used Federated in the past with collections increasing
from 18% to 22% from the previous year. She stated that this
year the Department is seeing a lot more payments being made
before they are turned over to the collection agency. Ms.
Barnard attributes this increase in collections to the fact that
the public is aware that the unpaid accounts will be turned over
to a collection agency. In order to avoid possible referral to
the collection agency, accounts are being paid faster. Upon a
motion made by Mr. Vance, seconded by Mr. Leszczynski and
carried, the above referred to Contract for collection services
was approved and executed.
APPROVE CONTRACT FOR SERVICES - DEPARTMENT OF CODE
LA SALLE PARK DISTRICT COUNCTT.
Ms. Katherine G. Barnard, Director, Department of Code

doing business at 323 South Bendix Drive, South Bend, Indiana,
for the period August 11, 1986 until October 15, 1986 or funds
allocated are depleted.
She stated that this is a program that the City has been working
with through the NAN Project which is a neighborhood -based
service delivery project designed to assist community
organizations in establishing contractual relationships with
local governments in providing municipal services. She stated
that the organizations were given "seed money" to start small
businesses to contract with cities to perform some services. The
Contract submitted today is with the La Salle Park District
Council to clean-up lots. The organization will supply their own
equipment, transportation and bill the City on a per lot basis.
The LaSalle Park District crew will be working under the

clean-up crew. Upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski, seconded
by Ms. Barnard and carried, the above referred to Contract for
Services was approved and executed.

REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 5, 1986
Mr. Leszczynski advised that L. L. Geans & Sons, 1721 Home
Street, Mishawaka, Indiana, has submitted Change Order No. 1
(Final) indicating that the contract amount for the above
referred to project be increased by $35,812.43 for a new Contract
sum, including this Change Order, in the amount of $138,219.43.
Additionally submitted was the Project Completion Affidavit
indicating this new final cost. The increased cost is due to the
fact that additional pavement in the project area required
removal and replacement. In addition, the unstable soil subbase
was much deeper than anticipated which caused overruns on
excavation and backfilling. Further, high early concrete was
used at intersections so that they could be opened to traffic at
an earlier date. Upon a motion made by Ms. Barnard, seconded by
Mr. Vance and carried, Change Order No. 1 (Final) and the Project
Completion Affidavit were approved subject to the filing of the
appropriate three-year Maintenance Bond.
