UNFAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION - PETITION TO VACATE THE FIRST
EAST/WEST ALLEY BETWEEN ST. VINCENT ST. AND HOWARD ST. FROM ST. LOUIS
BLVD. TO FIRST NORTH/SOUTH ALLEY
Mr. Gilot indicated that Mr. Roger Woodard and Mr. Mark Hubbard, have submitted a request to
vacate the above referenced alley to allow the abutting property owners to landscape and
beautify the alley, which they state regularly floods and is unused. Mr. Gilot advised the Board is
in receipt of unfavorable recommendations concerning this Vacation Petition from Community
Investment, and Engineering who both state the request does not meet the criteria of I.C. 36-7-3-
13. The vacation would 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 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 hinder the use of a public right of way by the neighborhood in which it is located or to
which it is contiguous and would create a dead end for the remaining North/South alley coming
down from St. Vincent. Mr. George Lepeniotis submitted a comment via Chats stating he
represents a neighbor of the alley proposed to be vacated and would like to make comments and
objections to that proposal on behalf of his client. He stated they object to the alley being vacated
as it creates a public safety issue and adversely impacts the neighbors. Mr. Gilot read comments
by Engineering, suggesting the Street Department could be asked to regrade the alley if it is a
drainage problem or the petitioner could also petition to privately pave the alley, noting there is
precedent for this in alleys that tend to hold water. Mr. Gilot stated these are good suggestions he
would hope would be included in the letter to the Council.
Mr. Gilot noted this would make a long dead-end alley, which is something the Board generally
opposes, because it makes it inconvenient to access properties. He noted it also makes it a safety
issue and hinders future development. Therefore, Ms. Maradik made a motion to submit an
unfavorable recommendation of the request for vacation. Mr. Molnar seconded the motion
which carried by roll call.
APPROVE CONSENTS TO ANNEXATION AND WAIVER OF RIGHTS TO
REMONSTRATE
Mr. Gilot stated that the Board is in receipt of the following Consents to Annexation and
Waivers of Right to Remonstrate. The Consents indicate that in consideration for permission to
tap into public water/sanitary sewer system of the City, to provide water/sanitary sewer service
to the below referenced properties, the applicants waive and release any and all rights to
remonstrate against or oppose any pending or future annexations of the properties by the City of
South Bend:

Upon a motion by Ms. Maradik, seconded by Mr. Molnar and carried by roll call, the Consents
to Annexation and Waivers of Right to Remonstrate were approved as submitted.

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
Mr. Roger Woodard submitted a comment via Chats stating in response to the objection for the
vacation of the alley, Fire and Police did not object.
Mr. Gilot stated the petitioner could ask the Street Department to regrade the alley to help with
flooding, or they could petition to privately pave the alley due to holding water. He requested
these options be included in the letter to the petitioner that will go to the Common Council.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Board, upon a motion made by Ms. Maradik,
