Walnut St. <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />melva.maefield@caresource.com <br /> <br />RE: Alley/Street Vacation – Alley between 111 & 115 S. Walnut St. <br />(Preliminary Review) <br /> <br />Dear Ms. Maefield: <br /> <br /> At its April 27, 2021 meeting, the Board of Public Works reviewed comments by the <br />Engineering Division, Community Investment, Fire Department, Police Department. The <br />following comments and recommendations were submitted: <br /> Per IC 36-7-3-13, the vacation would not hinder the growth or orderly development <br />of the unit or neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous. The <br />vacation would make access to the lands of the aggrieved person by means of public <br />way difficult or inconvenient. The vacation would not hinder the public’s access to a <br />church, school or other public building or place. The vacation would hinder the use of <br />a public right of way by the neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is <br />contiguous. <br /> <br /> Therefore, the Board of Public Works submitted an unfavorable recommendation <br />for the vacation of this alley. However, the Board advises that you work with the City of <br />South Bend Streets Department on remediation opportunities that may be available to you <br />regarding the issues you have raised. <br /> <br />If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please call this office at <br />(574) 235-9251. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />/s/ Anne Fuchs <br /> <br />Anne Fuchs, Clerk <br /> <br />AF/lh <br /> <br />
