Jefferson Blvd., Suite 1400 S South Bend, IN 46601 eichaels(& southbendin. gov 1. RE: Alley/Street Vacation — 618, 620,622 Marion St., 419,421,425 Leland Ave., & 627 LWW (Preliminary Review) Dear Ms. Michaels: At its June 10, 2025 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. If you still wish to pursue this vacation, please bring this BPW Recommendation Packet to the City Clerk's Office, located on the 4' 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 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 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, /s/ Theresa Heffner Theresa Heffner, Clerk Enclosures TH/hh ELIZABETH A. MARADIK JOSEPH R. MOLNAR GARY A.
