said he had been asked to represent Mr. Thompson today to advise the

PUBLIC HEARING. VACATION RESOLUTION NO. 3443
This being the date set, hearing was held on Vacation Resolution
No. 3443, for the vacation of the eastern half of the northerly
east -west alley east of Lafayette Boulevard and southern half of
the north -south alley east of Main Street, and the northern third
of the north -south alley south of Bartlett Street, City of South
Bend. The Clerk tendered proofs of publication of notice in the
South Bend Tribune and in the Tri-County News, which were found to
be sufficient. Petitioner for the vacation is Memorial Hospital.
Present were R. W. Trenkner and Attorney Bruce Hammerschmidt for
Memorial Hospital and R. J. Ludwick and a number of residents of
the Park Avenue Neighborhood Association. Mr. McMahon noted that the
Board had requested a report from John DeLee, Building Commissioner,
on the status of the paving of the parking lots. He read a memorandum
from Mr. DeLee indicating that as of July 15, 1977, the hospital had
not started the parking lot project. Mr. DeLee noted that he would
be out of the city on July 25 and unable to attend the hearing but
would have a representative present. Mr. Paul Roelke, Building
Inspector, was present. Mr. Roelke said Rieth-Riley Construction
Company started the paving a week ago. The two front lots are almost
finished. They want to proceed with the approaches to the alleys as
soon as the vacation is completed. Mr. McMahon then indicated that
he drove the area this morning and found this to be the case. In addition,
he said the contractor has indicated the screening along Lafayette Street
will be continued. Mr. McMahon then read a letter from R. W. Trenkner,
Administrator of Memorial Hospital, expressing regret for the.long
delay caused by the strike at Rieth-Riley but indicating that considerable
progress is now taking place. Mr. Trenkner said the two parking lots
on Navarre Street have been graded and the base asphalt pavement has
been installed. He said the contractor plans to complete the project
as soon as possible, weather permitting and with the completion of
the alley vacation. Mr. McMahon then read a letter from Attorney Philip
Carlton Potts, on behalf of Mrs. Alexis Coquillard, 708 N. Lafayette.
The letter expressed Mrs. Coquillard's objection to the alley closing
since access to the alley is of importance to her use of her property,
and in garbage and trash pick-up. Mr. Brunner advised the Board that
he received a call from Richard Muessel indicating that Mr. Potts now
feels he may have been in error in this regard. Mr. McMahon reviewed
the drawing of the area and said it appeared the Coquillard property
might not be involved in the alley closing. Mr. Brunner said the
Board would request some communication from Mr. Potts to clarify the
situation. Mr. McMahon then read a letter from the Park Avenue
Neighborhood Association calling attention to the violations in
operations of Memorial Hospital's parking lots over the past seven years.
The letter noted that the paving contractor worked overtime hours this
past week to get the two lots paved by the date of this hearing.
The letter requested that the Board require proper screening of the
parking lots along Navarre and Bartlett as well as on Lafayette Street.
and raised an objection to the hospital's plan to erect metal guard
rails along Navarre instead of green shrubbery. The Association asked ;
Rio
REGULAR MEETING JULY 25, 1977
that the Board deny the vacatiom.-`petition.or delay it until there
is compliance with any conditions established for screening.
Mr. Ludwick, President of the Park Avenue Neighborhood Association,
said that for eight years the association has attempted to get the
hospital to put in proper screening of their parking lots. Mr.
McMahon said the ordinance requires screening where there are
residences directly across from the parking areas and asked whether
there were houses on Navarre. Mr. Ludwick said there were not.
Mr. John Horan, 304 W. Navarre, said that Mrs. Frank lives in the
house back of the office at the corner of Navarre and Lafayette.
Mr. Hammerschmidt pointed out that this is commercial property. -Mr.
Horan said lights from cars in the parking area on Navarre shine into
his house. Mrs. Sponholz and Mrs. Pepple both advised the Board
that they consider the parking areas an eyesore. Mr. Brunner noted
that there is no legal requirement that the hospital screen areas
which do not face residences and pointed out that the hospital did
screen on Lafayette. The issue now becomes whether they should
screen on Navarre and Bartlett. He said it would appear that the
character.of the neighborhood is private residential. He then asked
hospital spokesmen if they planned to screen on Navarre and Bartlett.
Mr. Hammerschmidt said they did not plan to screen on those streets
for reasons of safety and the protection of female employees, particu-
larly those who work the night shift and have to go to the parking
area when they leave work. These employees object to screening
because -It--provides a hiding place for individuals in those lots at
night. The hospital felt they could live with screening on Lafayette
and with guardrails on Navarre and Bartlett. Mr. Brunner said
screening two or three feet high would not present a security problem
and suggested that shrubbery at a low height would eliminate the
guardrails to which the residents object. Mr. Hammerschmidt suggested
that the residents object to seeing the automobiles in the lots and
said a low guardrail was being considered. Mr. Ludwick said the screen-
ing should be as high as the headlights on automobiles. Mr. McMahon
asked the hospital representatives if they would consider screening
on Navarre and Bartlett as a consideration of this vacation. He
said it is the feeling of the Board that some type of screening would
be consistent with protecting the residential quality of the neighbor-
hood. Mr. Mullen asked why the hospital had considered a guard rail
instead of shrubbery. Mr. Trenkner said bushes are hard to maintain:
Automobiles can hit them and they have to be replaced. The cost of
the shrubbery is one reason they have considered guardrails. He said
they could put wheel stops along the perimeter of the area without
trying to maintain hedges. Mr. Trenkner pointed out that this is a
community hospital and they do not have unlimited funds at their
disposal. They are trying to go with the method which is most
economical. Mr. Ludwick suggested that they consider the type of
fence and screening used for the doctor's parking lot on Main Street.
Per. Trenkner pointed that this is a different type of area and the
fence is for retaining purposes. Marchmont Kovas, South Bend Tribune,
asked if they could give the number of persons mugged or attacked
at night in the parking areas. Mr. Hammerschmidt said he did not
know the number but said there have been incidents and the hospital
is concerned for the female employees. Mr. Brunner pointed out that
if the residential character of the neighborhood is changed, this would
have a direct effect on crime in the area, which would undoubtedly
increase. He said both the residents of the neighborhood and
Memorial Hospital have a vested interest in seeing the character of
the neighborhood maintained. Mr. Trenkner said the hospital has
improved the neighborhood by removing some boarding houses that were
in bad condition and they intend to continue improving the area. He
noted that they had made arrangements with Rieth Riley to begin
the paving work but had no control over the strike which delayed the
start of the work. He said they have every intention of completing
the work on the parking areas and doing it right. Mr. Hammerschmidt
pointed out that the work can be completed as soon as the vacation
of the alleys has been accomplished. Mr. Brunner suggested that
screening of some sort should be made a condition of the vacation and
REGULAR MEETING JULY 25, 1977
it might be appropriate to continue this matter for one week in
order to meet with Memorial Hospital representatives to discuss
plans for such screening. Mr. Hammerschmidt reviewe-d the time
frame for the remaining procedure in the vacation process and
said they had hoped to keep to the original time of completion on
August 22. Mr. McMahon stated that if the hospital representatives
met with the Board regarding screening with the next day or two,
a. special meeting could then be called to confirm the resolution
thus causing no delay in the proceedings. Upon motion made by
Mr. Mcilahon, seconded by Mr. Brunner and carried, the public hearing
was continued until August 1, 1977 or until a special meeting of
the Board might be called at an earlier date, following a meeting
with the Board and representatives of Memorial Hospital regarding
screening.
VACATION RESOLUTION NO. 3444 PUBLIC HEARING VACATION CONFIRMED

No. 3444 for the vacation of the north -south alley south of Tutt

The Clerk tendered proofs of publication of notice in the South
Bend Tribune and the Tri-County News which were found to be
sufficient. Mr. McMahon noted that this was the public hearing
on the vacation and that the Board received a favorable recommendation
from the Area Plan Commission following their public hearing.
Joseph Ettl, Attorney, and Norman Schafer, President of the Schafer
Gear Works, petitioner for the vacation, were present. Mr. Ettl
said they would be happy to answer any questions. Mr. Mullen asked
the purpose for the vacation. Mr. Ettl said the area would be
fenced to provide parking and security for employees of Schafer
Gear Works. There were no remonstrators present and no written
remonstrances were filed with the Board. It was noted that the
Fire Department has requested an access gate be provided if the
alleys are vacated and fencing installed. Upon motion made by
Mr. McIlahon, seconded by Mr. Brunner and carried, the Vacation
Resolution was confirmed and it was referred to the Division of
Engineering for preparation of the Assessment Roll.
