Dear Honorable Council,
Please accept this Ordinance to vacate the portion of the right-of-way formerly occupied by
Boland Drive. In the late 2000s,Boland Drive was realigned and connected to a traffic circle at
the intersection with Portage Road.The excess right-of-way was never vacated.
The City of South Bend has retained our services to properly vacate the eastern portion of
Boland Drive. Danch, Harner, and Associates is also in the process of working with the City
and St.Joseph County to prepare a subdivision for the area. As part of that process, Boland
Drive will be properly dedicated and proper lots on either side created.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
atV%- ,g)Va

RE: Right-of-Way Vacation—First 360'+/-Boland Dr.East of Portage Rd.(Preliminary Review)
Dear Mr.Danch&Ms.Smith:
At its March 12, 2024 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 right-
of-way subject to utility easements.If you still wish to pursue this right-of-way vacation,please bring this BPW
Recommendation Packet to the City Clerk's Office,located on the 4th floor of the County-City Building.Right-of-
way 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 right-
of-way vacation will affect your property taxes,please contact the Auditor's Office.
These updates should be made within ninety(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,
