RE: Alley/Street Vacation – 1222, 1217 & 1213 S. 27th St. (Preliminary Review)
Dear Ms. & Mr. Kent:
At its December 14, 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
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.
Therefore, the Board of Public Works submitted an unfavorable recommendation for
the vacation of this alley. If you still wish to pursue this alley vacation, please bring this BPW
Recommendation Packet to the City Clerk’s Office, located on the 4th floor of the County-City
Building. Alley/Street vacations require a presentation to the Common Council, approval of an
ordinance, and certification of the ordinance from the Mayor. The property then must be recorded
with the Recorder’s Office to ensure that your 50% ownership of the property is appropriately
transferred to your name. If you have any questions about how the alley vacation will affect your
property taxes, please contact the Auditor’s Office.
If you have any further questions, please call this office at (574) 235-9251.
Sincerely,
/s/ Laura Hensley/Acting
Clerk
