EAST APPROX. 165 FT. TO THE 1ST N/S ALLEY W. OF ST. JOSEPH ST. Dear Members of the Council: In accordance with Municipal Code Section 18-53 . 8, a favorable recommendation is being submitted to the Common Council concerning the Vacation Petition filed by Mr. David B. Behr, Holladay Corporation, 100 East Wayne Street, South Bend, Indiana, as Contact Person for the Petitioners, Memorial Health Properties, Inc. , 425 North Michigan Street, South Bend, Indiana and Lincoln National Life Insurance Company, 1300 South Clinton Street, Fort Wayne, Indiana, to vacate the following rights-of-way: Dinan Court running west from St. Joseph Street approximately 165 feet to the first north/south alley west of St. Joseph Street. Also, the first east/west alley north of Navarre Street from St. Joseph Street west approximately 165 feet to the first north/south alley west of St. Joseph Street. Also, the first east/west alley north of Navarre Street from Michigan Street east approximately 165 feet to the first north/south alley west of St. Joseph Street. As I advised you previously, the Board of Public Works conducted a Public Hearing on December 1, 1987, concerning the vacation of the above referred to rights-of-way. At that time, it was determined that the Board would not make a recommendation on this matter until its December 8, 1987, meeting. MEMBERS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL December 9, 1987 Page -2- At its meeting held on December 8, 1987 , the Board received a favorable recommendation from the Department of Economic Development regarding this vacation. The recommendation of the Department of Economic Development indicated that the proposed vacation of Dinan Court and the related alley vacation are not in a Redevelopment area. However, the proposed vacations are located adjacent to a neighborhood in which the Department of Economic Development will be undertaking some preliminary planning efforts. The recommendation further indicated that at a neighborhood meeting held on December 3 , 1987, involving representatives from the neighborhood, City, developer and hospital, the proposed alley vacation and vacation of Dinan Court were discussed. A general consensus was reached which included the following: - The developer would offer a reasonable option on vacant property on St. Joseph Street in order to allow for an in-fill housing effort (a house move or new construction) by a NFP with the requisite financial and technical capacity; - All parties favor and would assist in the petition process for a residential parking zone for the general neighborhood area; - The area between the proposed surface parking (for the office building) and the west side of St. Joseph Street would remain as B-zoning as opposed to a rezoning to C; and, - All ingress/egress for the office building would be off of Navarre Street. No ingress/egress for the proposed surface parking would be off St. Joseph Street. Additionally, Mr. David Behr, Holladay Corporation, 100 E. Wayne Street, South Bend, Indiana, was present and advised the Board that the parking lot proposed by the developer would be fenced- in. Outside of the fenced-in lot, the street will remain the same and could be used as a driveway. Dinan Court would become a deadend street. MEMBERS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL December 9, 1987 Page -3- As statements made by Mr. Behr and comments contained in the recommendation of the Department of Economic Development, satisfy the concerns of the Board, the Board favorably recommends the vacation of the above referred to rights-of-way subject to the items outlined in the Department of Redevelopment' s recommendation being implemented, subject to the street being available for access by abutting property owners as stated by Mr. Behr and subject to any and all utility easements. A copy of the excerpts of the minutes of the December 8, 1987 , meeting of the Board of Public Works at which this matter was discussed, is attached for your information.

Dear Members of the Council: This is to advise you that on December 1, 1987, the Board of Public Works conducted a Public Hearing regarding the vacation of the rights-of-way as referenced above. Based on concerns raised by the Department of Economic Development and their recommendation that the Board withhold submitting a recommendation to the Common Council at this time, the Board continued the Public Hearing on this matter until December 8, 1987. It is the Board' s understanding that another meeting between the hospital, the developer and the neighborhood residents was to be held to discuss this matter. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact this office. Sincerely, BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS iA Sandra M. Parmerlee, Clerk REGULAR MEETING DECEMBER 1, 1987 Attorney Kenneth Fedder, 205 West Jefferson Boulevard, South Bend, Indiana, advised that the South Bend Economic Development Commission c/o of the Prairie Company, 1100 Prairie Avenue, South Bend, Indiana, was notified of this vacation and inquired who the Petitioner is in this proposed vacation. Mr. Don Golichowski, 31617 Evergreen Street, Dowagiac, Michigan, representing Sheet Metal Workers Joint Training Trust Fund as Petitioner, was present and advised Mr. Fedder that he is the Petitioner. Mr.. Fedder advised that he does not believe the Commission would have any objections to this vacation. Mr. Don Golichowski addressed the Board and advised that the Sheet Metal Workers Joint Training Trust Fund has bought the building at 1015 Prairie Avenue that will be used as a training facility which will be used in the evenings. The vacation of Garst Street is requested to allow off - street parking to individuals attending the facility. He stated that they have no objections to easements and rights -of -way to affected property owners. He further advised that the building stands idle during the daytime hours. Mr. Leszczynski informed those present that Garst Street, which goes back one (1) block, currently consists of gravel and has never been used as a street. Mr. Leszczynski further advised that the various City departments and the Area Plan Commission that have reviewed this request recommend-favorable action on the Petition. There being no one else present wishing to speak either for or against the proposed vacation, and no written objections having been filed with the Board, upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski, seconded by Mrs. DeClercq and carried, the Public Hearing on this matter was closed. As a point of clarification, Mr. Vance was advised that the easement referred to earlier by Attorney Kehl would provide access across the parking lot during the daytime. Mr. Leszczynski stated that the matter of providing access and easements is something that will need to be worked out with the Petitioner and the property owners affected by this vacation should the vacation be approved. Therefore, upon a motion made by Mrs. DeClercq, seconded by Mr. Leszczynski and carried, the Clerk was instructed to forward to the Common Council a favorable recommendation on the above referred to street vacation subject to any and all utility easements.

IS ALLEY W. OF ST. JOSEPH ST. d that this was the date set for the on a proposed vacation of the following )7 REGULAR MEETING DECEMBER 1, 1987 It was noted that this Public Hearing is being held in order for the Board to submit a recommendation to the Common Council concerning the Vacation Petition filed by Mr. David B. Behr, Holladay Corporation, 100 E. Wayne Street, South Bend, Indiana, as contact person for the Petitioners, Mr. Theodore J. Foti, Senior Vice - President, Memorial Health Properties, Inc., 425 North Michigan Street, South Bend, Indiana and Lincoln National Life Insurance Company, 1300 South Clinton Street, Fort Wayne, Indiana. It was further noted that pursuant to South Bend Municipal Code Section 18 -53.8, owners whose property abut the proposed street and alleys to be vacated were notified of the Board's Public Hearing date. Ms. Marilyn Shock, 213 East Navarre Street, South Bend, Indiana, advised that she has acquired from Mary Bunyan the property at 615 North St. Joseph Street and 122 Dinan Court. Ms. Shock submitted to the Board photographs of the property she owns as well as the abstract for the property. She advised that the house contains two (2) apartments. She further advised that she opposes the vacation as indicated above as access to the house will be cut-off. Mr. David Behr, Holladay Corporation, 100 East Wayne Street, South Bend, Indiana, was present on behalf of the Petitioners and advised the Board that The Holladay Corporation has an option to purchase property on the block owned by Memorial Health Properties, Inc. and Lincoln National Life Insurance Company. He stated that the reason for the vacation of the three (3) rights -of -way is to consolidate existing parking lots currently behind the Travelodge located at 614 North Michigan Street. He stated that plans indicate that the building will be removed and a four (4) story medical office building will be constructed that would connect with Memorial Hospital by way of a skywalk. He stated that Northern Indiana Public Service Company has a line in the east /west alley off of Michigan Street which will be relocated as that alley will be covered by the new building. The vacation of the two (2) alleys indicated in the Petition would provide for consolidation of parking lots. He further stated that access from the parking to St. Joseph Street would not be allowable. Mr. Behr stated that in regards to the property acquired by Ms. Shock, the house is located on the corner and faces St. Joseph Street. Should the alley be vacated, one -half (1/2) of the alley will go to the adjacent property owner and could be used for access. The vacation as proposed will not landlock any property owner. In response to a question from Mr. Leszczynski, Mr. Behr stated that The Holladay Corporation has options to purchase Lot Nos. 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 13. Mr. John Phair, The Holladay Corporation, 100 East Wayne Street, South Bend, Indiana, addressed the Board and advised that they have been meeting with neighborhood groups and it was the neighborhood groups that advised that it was important to them that the vacations of these rights -of -way take place in order to control traffic on the residential street. REGULAR MEETING of the hospital and REAL Services street and indicated that even if employees will continue to park in DECEMBER 1, 1987 can be seen parked along the the street is closed the the neighborhood. In response to a question by the media regarding the recommenda- tion from the Department of Economic Development to postpone submitting a recommendation to the Common Council at this time, Mr. Leszczynski read the Memorandum received from the Department of Economic Development. The recommendation for postponement indicated that the property to be vacated is not located within a Redevelopment Area and there is no foreseeable plan which would include Redevelopment's use of this property. However, the proposed alley vacation is part of Memorial Hospital's expansion plans east of Michigan Street. The Department of Economic Development recognizes the need for Memorial's expansion, but wants to insure that any growth by Memorial Hospital in this direction does not endanger the adjacent residential neighborhood. Therefore, it is important that both the hospital expansion plans and neighborhood revitalization effort fit together. Until the Department of Economic Development is sure that the proper fit is there, they withhold their recommendation and ask that the Board delay action on this request. It is the understanding of the Department of Redevelopment that another meeting between the hospital, the developer and the neighborhood will be held shortly. Mr. Behr advised that the property in the west one -half (1/2) block is zoned "C" commercial with the remainder of the east side of the north /south alley zoned "B" residential. In response to Board Attorney Thomas Bodnar's question of whether they plan to rezone, Mr. Behr advised that they have petitioned to rezone the lots behind the Travelodge from "B" to "C Mr. Phair stated that this was another recommendation that came out of the meetings with the neighborhood groups. The rezoning would allow for the future building of a parking garage on that site which would alleviate employees parking on the street. Ms. Shock stated that she wanted to clarify for the Board that when Mr. Phair talks of meetings held with neighborhood groups, The Holladay Corporation talked with officials of the groups and not the property owners. Mr. Phair stated that they have met with leaders from four (4) neighborhood groups. Mr. Carl Ellison, Memorial Hospital, 615 North Michigan Street, South Bend, Indiana, advised that the hospital would support a Petition for a Restricted Residential Parking Zone in the area to assure that hospital employees are not parking in the neighborhoods. Mr. Leszczynski reminded Mr. Ellison that certain ordinance requirements must be met before an area can be designated as a Restricted Residential Parking Zone and if residents request such a zone and requirements are met, the zone would be approved. Mr. Leszczynski reminded Ms. Shock that should the proposed vacation be approved, she would acquire one -half (1/2) of the y right -of -way which would be vacated which would provide access 1 for her. Ms. Shock inquired what her address would be if Dinan Court is closed. Mr. Leszczynski advised that the ,address most " likely would be changed to a St. Joseph Street address. a__ REGULAR MEETING DECEMBER 1, 1987 Mr. Vance stated that based on the recommendation received by the Department of Economic Development he would make a motion that the Board delay any vote on this matter and that the Public Hearing be continued until the next regular meeting of the Board to be held on December 8, 1987. Mrs. DeClercq seconded the motion and it carried. PUBLIC HEARING AND FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION - ALLEY VACATION: 1ST N/S ALLEY W. OF KESSLER BLVD. RUNNING SO. FROM MC CARTNEY ST.
