Filed in Clerk's Office <br /> December 30,2016 <br /> MAR 2 7 2011 <br /> KAREEMAH FOWLER <br /> CITY CLERK,SOUTH BEND,IN <br /> City Engineering Department <br /> We, Kevin and Shelly Baumgartner would like to submit a Petition for Closure(Vacation)of Pubic Rights- <br /> of Way. This is pertaining to the alley between our property at 316 South Taylor Street and the property <br /> owned by CS&L The Communication REIT. <br /> The alley runs approximately three feet from our house. We would like to obtain rights to the alley in <br /> order to put a gate at the east entrance. Our reason for doing this is a matter of safety and privacy. The <br /> alley is often used by people attending baseball games at Four Winds Field because the surrounding <br /> vacant lots are used as parking even though cones are placed at the entrance to prevent this. It is also <br /> used as a street for traffic on a near daily basis. Another concern is the heavy amount of pedestrian <br /> traffic which again is an issue of privacy and safety. <br /> Gating in this area would provide much needed safety and privacy. It would prevent the alley from being <br /> used as a short cut for auto and pedestrian traffic. Its extremely close proximity to our property is a true <br /> cause for concern. <br /> The alley crosses another alley which runs north and south. There would still be a T shape alley access <br /> behind our property. By gating rather than fencing the rear portion of the alley would keep it accessible <br /> if necessary. <br /> CS&L has agreed to our request. Please see the attached copy of our most recent correspondence <br /> which is a signed agreement from the Senior Vice President of Operations. Also attached is a photo of <br /> the the properties. <br /> Thank you for your consideration in this matter. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Kevin and Shelly Baumgartner <br /> 315 South Taylor Street <br /> South Bend, IN 46601 <br /> 574-234-6182 <br />
