Lafeyette Blvd HMH E M I N I S T R I E S January 3, 2024 Office of the City Clerk South Bend, IN Filed in Clerk's Office N 5 CITYCLERK SOUTH BENF3, IN Re: Hope Ministries Request to the City of South Bend to Vacate a Portion of an Alley 432 S. Lafayette Blvd. South Bend, IN 46601 Phone: 574.235.4150 Fax: 5 74.289.7801 www.liopesb.org We submit this letter to provide information as to the reason Hope Ministries is requesting the City of South Bend to vacate a portion of the alley between Western Ave. and Monroe St. to the north and south, and between Main St. and S Lafayette Blvd. to the east and west. Hope Ministries has provided housing and support to those experiencing homelessness in South Bend for 70 years. Currently, approximately 100 men, women and children live with us in our main building at 432 S Lafayette Blvd. Among the housing we offer are 18 two -bedroom apartments for families and single mothers. We have a wait list of 3 to 6 months for families who need a safe place to live and find stability in their lives for their future. Hope would like to add an additional 6 apartments for families so that we might be able to care for more families who need housing and who want to be part of the program we offer. In addition to the six new apartments Hope would like to improve the quality of housing we offer single men. In order to accomplish these objectives, we need to remodel several areas of our existing main building. This renovation requires that we move a portion of our non-residential program to the adjacent building which we own at 211 W. Monroe St. This building is immediately across the alley from our main building. We need to connect the two buildings for the safe and efficient operation of Hope Ministries. The portion of the alley we are petitioning the City to vacate is adjacent to four parcels. Hope Ministries own three of these. The remaining building is owned by H Y Properties (Michoacan Supermarket). The part of their building that abuts the alley has no door or window openings into the alley. We will not be establishing any permanent barriers to the alley allowing full access by utility companies to all points of service currently existing in the alley. Vacating the portion of the alley we have requested will allow Hope to move forward with planning so that we might house and serve more of the most vulnerable members of our community. Thank you for your consideration.

Lafayette Blvd. (Preliminary Review) Dear Mr. Matteson: Filed in Clerk's Office LANI'O 3: 24,24 �M9WA�,L7,h1r� CITYCLERIi, SOUTH BEND, IN At its December 19, 2023 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 4t' 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 must then 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. In its Ordinance, the City of South Bend Common Council included the Board of Public Works' requirement that you eliminate the alley approach by hiring a private contractor bonded with the City to tear out the approach, replace with curb, and establish a tree lawn in accordance with City standards and specifications. These updates should be made within nine (t�90) days of final approval from the Common Council. Please notify us when this work is complete. If you have any further questions, please call this office at (574) 235- 9251. Sincerely, Isl Theresa hfe finer Theresa Heffner, Clerk Enclosures TH/lh ELIZABETH A. MARADIK JOSEPH R. MOLNAR GARY A.
