MERIDIAN STREET SUITE 1100 INDIANAPOLIS, IN 46204 317-577-5600 FAX 317-577-5605 kiterealty.com April 28, 2020 Honorable Members of the City Council South Bend Common Council 4th Floor — County City Building South Bend, IN 46601 I KITE REALTY GROUP Dear Council Members: MAY n 6 2020 Kite Realty Group, in association with the University of Notre Dame, the owner of abutting lots, petitions the City of South Bend for the vacation of the eastern end of Saint Vincent Street to provide for a park area in Eddy Street Commons, Phase II. The area to be vacated would begin east of the entrance drive(s) of two existing apartment buildings located at 1104 and 1105 East Saint Vincent Street, respectively. The construction of the proposed park and permanent closure of Saint Vincent Street is consistent with plans for Eddy Street Commons Phase II presented to neighboring residents in the Triangle in October 2017 and approved by the City of South Bend in March 2018. The Right -of -Way was not vacated at the time of plan approval since this section of Saint Vincent Street was needed to provide access to the apartment buildings during construction. Now that construction is nearing completion is an appropriate time to close Saint Vincent Street and construct the park as intended. We believe that the vacation of these alley and street segments would be in the public interest as such vacation would: (i) provide for the completion of Eddy Street Commons, Phase II in a manner consistent with representations made to neighbors and approved by City Engineering; (ii) maintain an appropriate buffer between the Triangle and the more dense Eddy Street Commons multi -family development; (iii) provide for an outdoor space to be used by the general public, all changes which will enhance the use and value of area properties. Thank you for your time and consideration. Should you have any questions or need any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at your earliest convenience.

The following comments and recommendations were submitted: The Engineering Division states the St. Vincent Street vacation will need easements for public access and City utilities. Community Investment recommends a public access easement equal to the width of the right-of-way [ OR of 15' in width] to permit the passage of pedestrians and nonmotorized vehicles between Eddy and Georgiana Streets. 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 street subject to the public access and utility easements. Please contact the Permit Denartment 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. Sincerely, s/Linda M. Martin, Clerk GARY A. GILOT ELIZABETH A. MARADIK THERESE J. DORAU JORDAN V.
