RE: Alley/Street Vacation – 1312 S. 27th St. & 2711 Northside Blvd. (Preliminary Review)
Dear Mr. Lang:
At its June 8, 2021 meeting, the Board of Public Works reviewed comments by the
Engineering Division, Community Investment, Fire Department, Police Department. The
following comments and recommendations were submitted:
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 pending the creation of a mutual access to the easement to ensure property
access for all parties. Please bring this BPW recommendation packet to the City Clerk’s Office,
located on the 4th Floor of the County-City Building for information about the next steps.
If you have any further questions, please call this office at (574) 235-9251.
Sincerely,
/s/ Anne Fuchs
