Home My WebLink AboutBill No. 12-22 Alley Vacation for FNWNA Development [Filed Clerk's Office Dawn Jones, City Clerk R 0 9 2022 4th Floor, County-City Building N MJONES 227 W Jefferson Blvd. _ ,SOUTH BEND,IN South Bend, IN 46601 RE: Alley Vacation for FNWNA Development March 9, 2022 Dear Clerk Jones, We are excited to be moving forward in the development of affordable housing units in our neighborhood. Due to the zoning requirements, we are not allowed to create curb cuts to enter the property from Meade St. so our site plan has the garage facing the alley. Currently, the alley is not passable with overgrown bushes and even neighbor-made barriers created years ago. Our hope is to gain ownership of the area so that we might improve the pathway behind the homes with pavement, lighting, and fencing to increase the safety for homeowners entering their property from behind and make it easier to clear a path through the snow in the winter. Enclosed please find the following information compiled to support the petition for alley vacation from the Far Northwest Neighborhood Association: 1. BPW Recommendation PACKET from the Board of Public Works 2. Petition to Vacate signed by abutting property owners. 3. Draft of the ordinance 4. Envelopes addressed and stamped with certified mail for all property owners within one hundred fifty feet (150) of the right-of-way to be vacated 5. Bank check made payable to the City of South Bend for the filing fee of$150.00 Thank you for your assistance with scheduling our hearing for the upcoming council meeting. Sincerely, Thelma L.
