South Bend Cubs. Ms. Maradik advised the Board is in receipt of unfavorable recommendations
for this Vacation Petition from the Area Plan Commission. Area Plan stated the vacation would

vacation would not hinder the growth or orderly development of the unit or neighborhood in
which it is located or to which it is contiguous. The vacation would not hinder the use of a public
right-of-way by the neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous. Mr. Dave
Relos, Community Investment, was present and informed the Board there was a meeting with the
