Mr. Gilot stated a Revocable Permit has been received for the purpose of allowing access ramps
and stairs, retaining wall, and an outdoor seating area to be installed in the right-of-way at Colfax
Ave. and Hill Streets, by Colfax Hill Partners, LLC, 1115 Burns St., South Bend, Indiana. The
encroachment shall remain in the right of way until the 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 same flow of traffic. Engineering stated the
applicant shall adhere to both Building Department and Engineering Department design
requirements; they must install railings as appropriate; there must be adequate lighting; the
sidewalk most be extended to the curb line to maintain ADA width requirements; and a Sidewalk
Cafe permit must be applied for each year if that is the purpose of the outdoor seating area.
Upon a motion made by Ms. Roos, seconded by Mr. Henthorn and carried, the Revocable Permit
was approved.
FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION - PETITION TO VACATE ALL PUBLIC ALLEYS
AND STREETS BOUNDED BY KEMBLE STREET ON THE WEST, THE. NORFOLK &
SOUTHERN RAILROAD ON THE NORTII SCOTT STREET ON THE EAST AND
INDIANA AVENUE ON THE SOUTH
Mr. Gilot indicated that Danch, Harper & Associates, on behalf of the City of South Bend, has
submitted a request to vacate the above referenced alleys and streets. Mr. Sou advised the
Board is in receipt of favorable recommendations concerning this Vacation Petition from the
Area Plan Commission, Police Department, Fire Department, Solid Waste, Community
Investment, and Engineering. Area Plan stated 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

Therefore, Ms. Roos made a motion recommending approval of the request for vacation. Mr.
Relos seconded the motion which carried.

APPROVE TRAFFIC CALMING PLAN — WALNUT GROVE
Mr. Gilot stated at the Board of Works meeting on Thursday Mr. Eric IIorvath, Public Works
Director, spoke regarding the Engineering Department's recommendations for traffic calming in
the Walnut Grove neighborhood. He stated the Board heard those in favor and those opposed to
the traffic calming plan speak, and held public discussions. Therefore, he stated, the Board will
not repeat the information already presented by the residents, but if anyone had anything of value
to add, the Board would allow one person to speak on behalf of those in favor and one person to
speak on behalf of those opposed. He noted he would allow the City Engineer, Corbitt Ken to
speak first if there are any changes to the City's recommendation, and speak after those opposed
and those in favor have had a chance to speak, to address any comments or questions. Mr. Kerr
stated that after receiving lots of public input via entails, letters, phone calls, and public
meetings, the City has only one adjustment to their proposed plan which is to add "and/or 26"
Street" for the potential installation of a street hump. He noted this would allow the City to make
the determination if and where it could be put on 26" Street. Mr. Gilot informed those present
that Mr. Kerr, as the City Engineer, has a big responsibility for traffic decisions. He explained
Mr. Eric Horvath made the presentation on Thursday and would have been present today but he
REGULAR MEETING FEBRUARY 10, 2015 32
had an important issue to attend to in Indianapolis and couldn't be here. Mr. Gilot stated he
didn't want anyone to think this issue wasn't important to Mr. Horvath, it is very important to
him and he would be here making the recommendation today if he didn't have to be elsewhere.
Ms. Mary Fisher of Tuxedo Drive stated she is in favor of the City's traffic calming plan, and
noted it is a great inconvenience to all having 27`t' Street closed. She stated it is true there is less
traffic in Walnut Grove but it's moved to Tuxedo where there are more homes and more
residents, including elderly people. She added there are bad sight lines on Tuxedo making it
more dangerous for traffic, especially at the bottom of the hill on Tuxedo. Ms. Kathleen Pettijean
of 261h Street thanked the Board for addressing the neighborhoods issues. She stated the Board may not know that originally Walnut Crrove streets were privately owned by Walnut Grove up
until 1972, when the City took over. Ms. Pettijean stated the residents have been told by the City
many times that stop signs and speed limit signs were not appropriate methods of traffic calming.
She stated what she is asking for is speed humps like those installed in Eddy Commons. She
noted the City previously told the neighborhood that there was no money available to install
speed humps. Ms. Pettijean stated the process done this time was back in September the City
Engineer came up with the option to close 2Th Street as a way to reduce traffic and gave the
residents a process which included circulating a petition which they were told would need 2/3 of
the resident's signatures. She stated they obtained 80% of the resident's signatures in favor or the
closure of the street. She stated the City did traffic studies to see that it met warrants and got the
Fire and Police Department's and School system's approval. Ms. Pettijean stated Councilman
Fred Ferlic asked them to communicate with the neighborhood to work for a greater plan. She
stated they did their own traffic counts and found that traffic on 261h Street and Tuxedo Drive
was pretty evenly distributed. She added they felt that four-way stops could be helpful if installed
but the City was not interested. Ms. Pettijean stated her opposition to humps and speed limits is
please include 29'h Street on the speed humps and please keep 27" Street closed until all of the
traffic calming devices are in place. She noted the fear of the resident's is that if it is re -opened,
people will take out their aggressions by deliberately speeding. Mr. Gilot thanked her and asked
Mr. Kerr if he had any rebuttal. Mr. Kerr stated he appreciated all the comments and stated there
were some good points brought up. He noted November 18 was when 27' Street was closed, not
September as Ms. Pettijean stated. He noted also that the number of petitioner's that signed the _
petition was 165 out of 240, which is not quite 80% as she stated. Mr. Kerr stated that stop signs
are not to be used as traffic calming at Wilson and 26`h Street; they have not met warrants for
stop signs and they won't be put up there. He stated as far as waiting to open 27' Street, it will
not be until spring that speed humps can be installed, so they would like to re -open 27th Street
once the stop signs are installed. He noted the reason for that is due to the icy hill on Tuxedo
Drive. Mr. Kerr stated he has no objection to or issue with the speed hump on 260' Street. He
stated he would like to offer to the Board to leave the solar speed signs on 26' Street and add
"and/or 29' Street". Ms. Roos asked for confirmation that he was changing his recommendation
to add solar signs on "26a' Street or 29th Street". Mr. Kerr confirmed and stated he was
recommending also that they add "and/or 26°i Street and/or 29`h Street" to the installation of a
speed hump, noting the City could do further traffic counts in the spring on these locations. Mr.
Gilot questioned the cost of solar speed signs. Mr. Kerr stated they installed them on the
Lincolnway West project and they cost $6,000.00 each, about the same cost as a speed hump.
Mr. Gilot stated he understood the signs can go up ininclement weather, but can the Engineers
work with the Street Department to get the speed humps done as early as possible in the spring.
Mr. Kerr noted they will use concrete instead of asphalt so the material won't have to be heated.
Mr. Gilot thanked everyone for following the process. He added everybody can't be happy but
he has great respect for the engineers that looked at all the alternatives. He noted Mr. Eric
Horvath has empathy with everybody, but there is no perfect solution. Upon a motion by Ms.
Roos, seconded by Mr. Henthorn and carried the City's recommendation as presented was
approved with the noted amendments to letters d. and e.:
