RE: Encroachment into Public Right-of-Way – 211 West Washington St.
Dear Ms. Beals:
At its May 21, 2026 meeting, the Board of Public Works approved your request for
the installation of a Canvas Canopy at 211 W. Washington St. This encroachment was
approved subject to the improvements not becoming a safety hazard. Enclosed please find
copies of the permit and application.
The encroachment will be permitted to remain and continue until such time as the
Board of Public Works of the City of South Bend shall determine that such encroachment
is in any way impairing or interfering with the highway or with the free and safe flow of
traffic thereon. Said encroachment shall not in any way prejudice or preclude the City’s
rights with respect to the future use of that portion of the right-of-way. If, at any time, the
City of South Bend determines that it is necessary to revoke the encroachment permit,
you, or the future property owner will be responsible for any and all costs associated with
the removal of the encroachment and returning your property to its pre-existing state.
Sincerely,
/s/ Hillary Horvath
Hillary Horvath, Clerk
