Leszczynski, with Mr. Leszczynski, Mr. Richard L. Hill and Mr. Joseph E. Kernan present. Deputy City Attorney Terry A. Crone was also present. MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING APPROVED Upon a motion made by Mr. Hill, seconded by Mr. Leszczynski and carried, the minutes of the April 20, 1981, regular meeting of the Board were approved as submitted. PUBLIC HEARING ON VACATION RESOLUTION NO. 3507, 1981 (RIVER PARK NURSING HOME) This was the date set for holding a public hearing on Vacation Resolu- tion No. 3507, 1981, for the vacation of the first east -west alley south of Mishawaka Avenue between 26th and 27th Streets, excepting the 14' right -of -way of the north -south 14' alley between Mishawaka Avenue and Vine Street in Horne & Dunn lst Subdivision in River Park. The Clerk tendered proofs of publication of.notice in the South Bend Tribune and the Tri- County News which were found to be sufficient. It was noted that a notice had been sent to all property owners in the vicinity of the proposed vacation and letters had been received from the various city agencies indicating that there was no objection to the proposed vacation. Mr. Edward Hardig, Attorney at Law, 419 West Jefferson Boulevard, stated that he was the attorney represent- ing the River Park Nursing Home. He referred to a map showing the alley to be vacated, and he advised that the Nursing Home owned adjacent Lots numbered 154, 155 and 156, with its premises located on 27th Street. He stated that a representative of the home had circulated the petition to vacate the alley to the people adjacent on the alleyway and Mrs. Henry at 926 South 26th Street had signed in favor of the vacation. He stated that the other adjacent property owners, being the Harters at 924 South 26th Street, had chosen not to sign the petition because of their concern over their garage and use of the structure should the alley be vacated. He stated that, if the Board chose not to vacate the alley because of the objection of the Harters, then the Nursing Home would be interested in only vacating the part of the alley adjacent to the Nursing Home. He stated that the Nursing Home has been in its present building for approximately 15 years and many years prior to that a nursing home had been in existence. The Nursing Home purchased the property across the alley from it and there was hope in the future to vacate this alley and extend the nursing home across the alley. He stated that plans did not call for an addition to the present building at this time, but that the existing building would be torn down. He pointed out that a north -south alley existed which extended along the entire block. Mrs. Beverlie J. Beck, Third District Councilman, stated that she had been contacted as early as September last year regarding the plans of the Nursing Home. She stated that the residents had, at that time, indicated that something was being planned by the home. She admitted that the Nursing Home did own property adjacent to the alley, but she felt that the residents in the area had gone on record objecting to the alley vacation and possible future expansion of the home. She referred to the north -south alley and stated that it was a very long block so only vacating a portion of the east -west alley as suggested by Mr. Hardig would still present an inconvenience to the residents. Mrs. Joan Kincaid, 930 South 27th Street, presented a remonstrance petition to the Board containing 115 signatures of surrounding property owners objecting to the vacation of the entire alley and only half of the alley as now being proposed by the Nursing Home. She advised that the petition had been circulated in the area from Mishawaka Avenue south to Pleasant; the west side of 28th Street to the east side of 25th Street. Mr. Raymond C. Harter, 924 South 26th Street, stated that he understood there was a large underground gas line running down the center of the alley. He felt this would be dangerous for the Nursing Home if a dwelling was constructed on it at some future point. He also wondered who would be responsible REGULAR MEETING APRIL 27, 1981 for the upkeep of the alley if closed. He felt that the extra land which would be added to the adjacent properties would be of little value to the property owners if the vacation was approved. He stated that he would not be able to use his garage without incurring additional expense if the alley was closed. He stated that, if only the east half of the alley was closed, he felt it was very probable that the city would not maintain the west half of the alley as it should be. Mr. Harter stated that the west part of the alley would be used by the employees and delivery trucks of the nursing home. He stated that his garage had been built over 55 years ago, and he presented a map showing his property and the alley, pointing out the difficulty he would encounter trying to use his garage should the alley be vacated. Mrs. Harter stated that she had objected to the signing of the petition of the Nursing Home for the vacation; however, her neighbor, Mrs. Henry, had signed although Mrs. Harter felt Mrs. Henry had signed not because she had been so anxious to have the alley closed, but because she had probably been told by the Nursing Home representative that the nursing home would be interested in buying her property if she was interested in selling. Mrs. Harter stated that she had called the Engineering Office and had been told that the city was interested in vacating all alleys so it would not have to maintain them. Mrs. Beck stated that she felt if the Nursing Home wanted to expand, it should purchase commercial property along Mishawaka Avenue for that purpose, rather than infringing upon the residential neighborhood. Mr. Tom Marshall, 927 South 27th Street, felt that the surrounding reisdents did not realize just how much ofs an expansion program was being proposed by the Nursing Home. He stated that the proposed building would come within 20 feet of his property and extend all the way along the alley. He felt the uncertainty of the proposal was one of the reasons why the residents were objecting. Mr. Hill stated that this type of situation has been before the Board in the past. He clarified for the residents that the Board must take a look at the vacation of the alley only and must look at access to adjacent property owners and the effect any closing would have on emergency vehicular traffic. He stressed that, although he appreciated the concerns of the residents in relation to the rezoning of the property for future expansion, the Area Plan Commission and Common Council only had jurisdiction in that area, and the Board had nothing to say about the rezoning issue. He stated that the point which concernce him was that a property owner would not have access to his garage if the vacation was approved. He felt perhaps the Board should make an inspection of the alley in question prior to taking any action on the matter. Upon a motion made by Mr. Hill, seconded by Mr. Kernan and carried, the public hearing was continued in order to allow for a site visit by the Board. Mr. Hill stated that the Board would notify those concerned reisdents and the Nursing Home when the tour would take place. Mr. Larry Yazel, 939 South 27th Street, asked that the Board come out when traffic was heaviest because he felt the vacation of the alley would cause even greater traffic congestion. He suggested anytime after 3:30 p.m., preferably on a Friday. Mr. Leszczynski stated that the site inspection would be made during the coming week so that the Board could take final action at its meeting on May 4, 1981. Mrs. Beck asked that the Board take a good look at the fire safety problem in the area prior to making a decision on the vacation. Mr. Hardig stated that he disputed certain allegations made concerning the employees and delivery trucks of the Nursing Home concerning traffic and tying up the block. As to the gas line, he stated that the line would be moved if the alley was vacated. He stated that there was another assertion made about the Nursing Home offering to buy up property in the area. He felt this was an unfair implication to make and stated that, if an adjoining neighbor was to place his home up for sale, the Nursing Home would certainly be interested in purchasing it. He advised that, if Mrs. Henry had expressed a concern as to who would buy her property in the future, the representative from the Nursing Home would, of course, mention that the home would be interested in purchasing it. He stated that he was pleased to see that the Board would make a site visit. He offered any assistance he could to the Harters in helping 1 1 1 REGULAR MEETING APRIL 27, 1981 them to have access to their garage should the alley be vacated. Mrs. Kincaid advised the Board that last year, the Nursing Home had purchased a house at 925 South 26th Street. She explained how the actual purchase had come about, saying that the owners had not wanted to sell to the Nursing Home even though they had made an offer, and had instead sold the home to a Don Mickles who, later it was learned, had a part in Cardinal Enterprises which one of the principals of the Nursing Home owned. She stated that that same day, the property was purchased by the Nursing Home. Mr. Hill cautioned that the Board was not considering property acquisition and how it came about, but was concerned with the vacation of the alley and the problems its closing would cause to the surrounding residents. Another woman in the audience asked about the rezoning and wondered where it would stop. Mr. Hill again stated that the Board was not involved in the issue of the rezoning and could not confront that matter since the Area Plan Commission and Common Council had jurisdiction. He stated that the Board must direct its comments and action to the vacation of the alley only. He stated that rezoning was automatic and that subsequent hearings by the Council and Plan Commission would be held, at which time those residents concerned should make their comments and feelings known. Mrs. Beck asked if the city had a policy of vacating all alleys when petitioned so it would not be responsible for maintenance, as Mrs. Harter had stated. Mr. Leszczynski stated that that was not the case and that every individual vacation is looked at separately by the Engineering Department, Community Development Department and Area Plan Commission. Only when all reports are received in favor of the vacation is the alley recommended for vacation, and, even then, a hearing must be held to determine if there is any objection to the vacation by the surrounding residents. It was decided that the Board would make an inspection of the alley in question and continue the public hearing to the May 4th meeting of the Board. AWARD BID AND APPROVE CONTRACT - H. DeWULF MECHANICAL CONTRACTORS (HAWBAKER STREET SANITARY SEWER PROJECT) Mr. Leszczynski advised that the Bureau of Public Construction was recommending that H. DeWulf Mechanical Contractors be awarded the Hawbaker Sanitary Sewer Project based on their low bid of $31,695.00, which bids were received by the Board on April 20, 1981. Upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski, seconded by Mr. Kernan and carried, the low bid of H.
