If you have any further questions, please call this office at (574) 235-9251.

COMMUNITY INVESTMENT: Favorable FIRE: Favorable Recommendation June 11, 2024 City of South Bend Board of Public Works 227 West Jefferson 1316 County-City Building South Bend, Indiana 46601 RE: Ignite Grant - Near West Side Neighborhood Signage – Revocable Encroachments To Whom It May Concern: Our neighborhood (NWSNO) was awarded 2023 Ignite Grant funds to allow for the installation of (2) neighborhood signs to be located on the corners of Williams & Lasalle, and Williams & Western. These locations are the Eastern corners of our neighborhood as deflned by the City’s Neighborhood Plan for the Near West Side, which was ratifled last year. The proposed signs are as follows: 1)Size: The overall dimensions of installation is 6’2” height by 6’ width (5’6” + (2) 3” posts). The main sign face is 16.5 SF. The ancillary panel along the bottom crossbar is 2 SF. Total sign area of 18.5 SF. 2)Location: a.See earth view images and dimensions on following pages. If possible, we would appreciate a small level of fiexibility on post locations to account for utility locates and angle of signage, such as +/- 2’ if allowable. b.Initially, with sign locations being in long vacant and RDC-owned property, we began the grant application process with the signs located on the corners, not in the R.O.W. The response from city officials has led us to believe this is a better solution for the placement of the signs. c.With R.O.W. widths of 10’ and 12’, there should be no concern regarding 6’ wide signs on an angle. 3)Misc. Details: The signs will be routed out of High Density Urethane (HDU) so they will be fairly maintenance free. If necessary, we are requesting a total area of 4’ x 8’ around the sign to allow for landscaping and potentially edging beneath. The signs will be installed in the ground by the professionals at North American Signs. In conjunction with the above information, the NWSNO would like to formally request approval from the Board of Public Works. Thank you for your consideration of this request. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
