The following comments and recommendations were submitted: The Engineering Division give Howard St. and SR 23 a favorable recommendation contingent upon the area being within the City’s ROW; and Corby St. and South Bend Ave. a favorable recommendation contingent upon the owner committing to provide public access easements around the east side of Corby and the South Bend Ave. intersection, and proceeding with immediate vacation of the southern portion of Corby west of South Bend Ave. 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 these streets subject to the above contingencies of the Engineering Department. Please contact Permit Department at (574) 235-9254 prior to picking up your radius map. You will need a radius map showing properties within 150’ of the proposed vacation for your petition to the Common Council. Once you pick up the radius map, proceed to the City Clerk’s office for your alley vacation packet. Sincerely, s/Linda M. Martin, Clerk
