Though not having a quorum and therefore unable to take official action. Chairman Varner asked
for a presentation. Mike Danch representing his client, the City of South Bend, explained the
vacations were requested to allow the City to assemble properties for the proposed Ignition Park,
an economic development Brownfield development. This particular vacation would allow Transpo
to re-locate a sight for construction of a terminal and offices. There were no questions. No
actions allowed.
Bill No. 30-09 -Alley Vacation -Portion west of Franklin between Washington and Jefferson
The petitioner, Steve Mihaljevic, at the chair's request made the presentation. He explained that
for safety concerns of tenants whose doors open onto the alley, he requests a vacation which he
would then fence from property to the north. All adjacent owners were notified without
subsequent comment. The Board of Public Works has sent a favorable recommendation. All
required city departments concurred. No action by the committee could be taken.
