Dear Members of the South Bend Common Council,
1 We respectfully submit this request for the Common Council's consideration and acceptance of
an ordinance vacating 3.7'of public right-of-way located at 710& 718 Napoleon St.The
requested right-of-way vacation supports plans to subdivide our lot at 718 Napoleon St.into a
corner lot with a home facing St.Peter St.and a lot with a home facing Napoleon St.
Construction of two zoning compliant,single-family homes would commence upon completion
of all required permitting.The right-of-way vacation would increase the 718 Napoleon St. lot
size by approximately 6%to facilitate the subdivision of the lot into two lots that each
accommodate a newly constructed home.
The community benefits of this project include:
• The replacement of a rental home at the end of its useful life with two new owner-
occupied homes for full-time residents and ongoing members of the South Bend
community,including ourselves and another local family seeking to live near downtown
and Notre Dame.
• A new sidewalk along 718 Napoleon St.
• Replacement of the existing non-ADA compliant curbs with ADA accessible ramps on
Napoleon St.,both at the corner at St. Peter St. (our property)and the corner at St. Louis
Blvd.(the neighboring church's property).
• Replacement of the older and heaving sidewalk all along St.Peter St.
Required exhibits,legal descriptions and supporting documentation are included for your review.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this request. Please do not hesitate to contact us
should additional information be required.
We appreciate the Council's service to the City of South Bend and its residents.
Re ectfully submitted,

RE: Right of Way- 710&718 Napoleon St. (Preliminary Review)
Dear Ludwigs,
At its April 28, 2026 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. 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.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 right-of-way vacation will affect your property taxes,
please contact the Auditor's Office.

South Bend, Indiana 46617
Re: 710 & 718 Napoleon St. - Right of Way Vacation
Dear South Bend Board of Public Works,
The applicant has developed plans to subdivide their lot at 718 Napoleon St. into a
corner lot with a home facing St. Peter St. and a lot with a home facing Napoleon St.
Construction of zoning compliant, single-family homes would commence upon
completion of all required permitting. Please see Attachment 1 - Site Drawings of the
proposed lots and home footprints.
Related to this planned development project please accept this updated request,
along with the City Staff report, for a Right of Way (ROW) Vacation on Napoleon St.
between St. Peter St. and St. Louis Boulevard. The proposed vacation is 3.70' in width
and extends the length of the applicant's property at 718 Napoleon St. and the property
of the adjoining church, Greater Holy Temple Church of God in Christ Inc.
The purpose for this request is twofold:
• To relocate the Napoleon St. sidewalk such that the resultant tree lawn mimics the
tree lawns immediately north and east of the property.
• To increase the 718 Napoleon St. lot size by approximately 6% to facilitate the
subdivision of the lot into two lots that each accommodate a newly constructed
home.
The relocation of the sidewalk and ROW vacation have the combined effect of a more
fitting and aesthetically pleasing sidewalk location in relation to the planned locations
and footprints of the new homes.

The overall community benefits of this project include:
• The replacement of a rental home at the end of its useful life with two new homes
that will be owned and occupied by full-time residents and ongoing members of
the South Bend community who wish to live nearer to downtown and Notre
Dame.
• A new sidewalk and renewed tree lawn area along Napoleon St., aligned with
the recently renewed sidewalk and tree lawn east of the property on the south
side of Napoleon.
• Replacement of the existing ADA non-compliant curbs with ADA accessible
ramps on Napoleon St., both at the corner at St. Peter St. (the applicant's
property) and the corner at St. Louis Blvd. (the church's property).
• Replacement of the old and heaving sidewalk all along the applicant's frontage
on St. Peter St.
• All expenses, including the new tree lawn, new sidewalks, and ADA ramps will be
funded by the applicant for the Ludwig and church properties.
The staff has provided a recommendation with concern, and a continued review by
the Ludwig's and their home builder & engineer, concluded an additional reduction of
the ROW ask to 3.7' fits a better aesthetic and lot size for the home development.
Continuation of this petition incorporates feedback from City officials, also
representation from the Northeast Neighborhood Revitalization Organization and the
Northeast Neighborhood Community association, as well as the University of Notre
Dame. Please see the attached letter of support from Mr. Greg Hakenan.
In addition to the community benefits, we note the history of recent ROW vacations
along Napoleon St., as shown in Attachment 2 - Area Right of Way Vacations.
The request to vacate the ROW along the entire length of the block has to do with
aligning the two homes on the property in a manner that can fit both two street
frontages, maintaining an appropriate distance to a proposed public sidewalk,
improving the sidewalk accessibility where two new ADA curb ramps will exist on St. Louis
Blvd. and St. Peter St., providing for a new manicured tree lawn with approved South
Bend trees, and generally creating a clean aesthetic streetscape. The proposed
sidewalk is suggested to move 8' closer to the curb on Napoleon and properly align with
the tree lawn size/sidewalk placement to the north and the east. A consideration like
this is common in this neighborhood to realign the public space to fit current
development patterns and use of the Right of Way.
The regulatory review looks at right of way vacation in terms of aesthetics and appeal,
assures this does not hinder or diminish access to either of the properties in any way and
each parcel enjoys full access to dedicated streets, does not hinder the public's access
to a church, school or other public building and does not hinder a public way and allows
vehicle, pedestrian, and bike traffic to continue.
•• O:\Projects\2025\25.0559 Ludwig Minor Subdivision\05 PERMITS F.APPROVALS\vocation Application\Updafred_Ludwig Vocation_drafldocx
This vacation does not hinder the order growth of the neighborhood and matches
existing ROW location and sidewalk placement and will be harmonious in aesthetics
and appeal. This ROW vacation does not hinder or diminish access to either of the
properties in any way, and each parcel enjoys full access to dedicated streets. This
ROW vacation does not hinder the public's access to a church, school or other public
building as current access is maintained and does not restrict any additional access
points. The vacation does not hinder a public way and allows vehicle, pedestrian, and
bike traffic to continue, and improves the crosswalk and makes it more accessible to
mobility-impaired users. Additional ease of travel will occur with the tree lawn
replacement and increased quality and accessibility of a new sidewalk.
We ask that this petition be reviewed, and we respectfully request a favorable
recommendation from the board of public works for consideration.
Best Regards,
Chris Godlewski

Re: Support for Vacation Petition for 710 & 718 Napoleon Street
To the Members of the Board:
I am writing in support of the petition by Dave and Jennifer Ludwig for 1)vacation of 3.7 feet
of City right-of-way along Napoleon Street and 2) relocation of the existing sidewalk on the
south side of Napoleon between St. Peter Street and St. Louis Blvd.
I write as a private citizen with a great deal of experience in the physical transformation that
has taken place in the Northeast Neighborhood over the last 20+years:
• I served as the University of Notre Dame's Director of Northeast Neighborhood
Redevelopment from June 2004 until September 2019.
• In that capacity I represented the University in the development of Eddy Street
Commons, oversaw the Notre Dame Avenue Housing Program, and represented the
University and the NNRO in the redevelopment of The Triangle.
• From 2004 to 2019 I was one of Notre Dame's two voting representatives to the
Northeast Neighborhood Revitalization Organization. I continue to serve the NNRO
as a volunteer member of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee.
In one capacity or another, my entire focus for the last 21 years has been the thoughtful,
environmentally-sensitive, high-quality redevelopment of the Northeast Neighborhood.
Dave and Jennifer have shared with me their plans to build two homes on what is currently
a single lot at 718 Napoleon Street. To accomplish this, they are requesting that the City 1)
vacate a small (3.7 feet) strip of right-of-way on the south side of Napoleon and 2) allow
them to rebuild/relocate the Napoleon/St. Peter sidewalk. Based on my experience in the
neighborhood, I believe that this request is consistent with long-established revitalization
objectives in the Northeast Neighborhood (NEN):
• It replaces a single old rental property ,with twohigh-quality, owner-occupied
homes. Promoting owner-occupied homes has been central to the collective
mission in the NEN since I arrived in 2004.The initial problem was the existence of
student rentals in what had originally been family homes, negatively affecting
quality of life for family residents. As the neighborhood improved, it became
attractive to out-of-town Notre Dame alumni/ae to buy/build "football houses,"
residences that are only occupied on football weekends and other limited times
during the year, which can lead to a vacant, lifeless neighborhood.
The proposed homes will be occupied by two families that have long standing in
South Bend and who intend to remain in residence for many years to come. This not
only displaces a rental property but modestly enhances housing density in the NEN.
Building the two proposed homes on this site legitimately requires some flex on the
part of the City.
• The requested changes improve,rather than detract from,the physical environment.
The Ludwigs have proposed to replace at their own cost the existing sidewalks along
Napoleon and St. Peter. Both sidewalks are deteriorated and will benefit visually
and functionally by new construction. In addition, the Napoleon sidewalk does not
align where it crosses St. Peter, and relocation will align those sidewalk segments.
To their credit, the Ludwigs have reached out to secure the cooperation of the
church to the west and will cover the cost of construction for that portion of
sidewalk as well. Finally, new construction will allow for ADA-compliant curb cuts at
both St. Peter and St. Louis.
For the above reasons, I support the Ludwig's petition.
Sincerely,
2.4

Re: 710 & 718 Napoleon Boulevard - Right of Way Vacation
To whom it may concern,
Please accept this application for a Right of Way (ROW) Vacation on Napoleon Street between
St. Louis Boulevard and St. Peter Street. The proposed vacation is 15' in width and extends the
length of the Ludwig's property and the adjoining church, Holy Temple Church of God in Christ
Inc. The proposed vacation would mimic certain spacing on the north side of Napoleon
Boulevard and would be matched to what is proposed and existing on the south side of
Napoleon. The attached graphic shows two separate vacations immediately east of the
Ludwig's property and would match the ROW line and sidewalk location, this development
would create ADA ramps where they do not exist now and line up with adjoining sidewalks. The
Ludwig's, are in regular communication with the church and have requested the church to
accompany this petition and details for a joint application are herein located.
This vacation does not hinder the order growth of the neighborhood and matches existing ROW
location and sidewalk placement and will be harmonious in aesthetics and appeal. This ROW
vacation does not hinder or diminish access to either of the properties in any way and each
parcel enjoys full access to dedicated streets. This ROW vacation does not hinder the public's
access to a church, school or other public building as current access is maintained and does
not restrict any additional access points. The vacation does not hinder a public way and allows
vehicle, pedestrian, and bike traffic to continue. Additional ease of travel will occur with the
tree lawn replacement and increased quality and accessibility of a new sidewalk.
We ask that this petition be reviewed and sent on with a favorable recommendation to the
board of public works for consideration.
Best Regards,
Chris Godlewski
