To whom it may concern:
Attached are the documents required for the public right-of-way vacation of the alley extending from
the 1100 block of W.Jefferson Blvd. north towards Washington St. and south towards Thomas St. You
will find the following items to support our request:
1. Petition to Vacate
2. Ordinance
3. Envelopes addressed and stamped with certified mail for all property owners within one
hundred fifty feet(150') of the right-of-way to be vacated
4. Filing fee of$150 (check).
5. A copy of the radius map.
Please consider this letter the final requirement of"a letter briefly explaining why you are submitting a
petition to vacate."
We have lived at 1102 W.Jefferson since 2001, and have acquired the properties located at 1042 W.
Jefferson and 1035 W.Jefferson over the past several years. 1035 W.Jefferson is being maintained as a
"pocket park" for the neighborhood, and we are in the process of major renovations to our home, which
will eventually be moved to 1042 W.Jefferson. Vacation of the alleys will enhance pedestrian safety
(especially considering neighborhood children often play in the park at 1035 W.Jefferson) and reduce
the possibility of dumping in the alleys (which is often an issue). Further, we plan to parcel 1042 and
1102 together for simplification of the renovation process. We plan to restrict automobile traffic
through both alleys, although proper access will be provided for utility vehicles as needed. We
appreciate the Board of Public Works' assistance with this process and look forward to a smooth
hearing.
Sincerely, q

RE: Alley Vacation —North/South Alley West of Laurel Street running South from Jefferson
Blvd. to 1't East/West Alley, and North from Jefferson Blvd. to I" East/West Alley
(Preliminary Review)
Dear Mr.and Mrs.Edmondson:
The Board of Public Works, at its June 13, 2017, meeting, reviewed comments by the Engineering
Division, Area Plan Commission, Community Investment, Fire Department, Police Department, and
the Solid Waste Division. The following comments and recommendations were submitted:
Area Plan stated,per IC 36-7-3-13, the 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
make access to the lands of the aggrieved person by means of public way difficult or inconvenient. The
vacation would not hinder the public's access to a church,school or other public building or place. 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.
Therefore, the Board of Public Works submitted a favorable recommendation for the vacation of this
alley.
Please contact Donna Hanson at(574)235-9254 prior to nicking up your radius map. You will
need a radius map showing properties within 150' of the proposed vacation for your petition to the
Common Council. Once you pick up the radius map,proceed to the City Clerk's office for your alley
vacation packet.
