JEFFERSON BOULEVARD SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601-1830 PHONE 574/ 235-9251 FAX 574/ 235-9171 CITY OF SOUTH BEND JAMES MUELLER, MAYOR BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS June 8, 2021 Alfernando Tharbs 1235 Lincoln Way West South Bend, IN 46628 Corneliusthanks68@gmail.com RE: Alley/Street Vacation – 1235 Lincoln Way West (Preliminary Review) Dear Mr. Tharbs: At its June 8, 2021 meeting, the Board of Public Works reviewed comments by the Engineering Division, Community Investment, Fire Department, Police Department. Given the aforementioned alley does not have an approach on Cleveland and appears to have been this way for over twenty (20) years, it was determined as follows: 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 this alley. Please bring this BPW recommendation packet to the City Clerk’s Office, located on the 4th Floor of the County-City Building for information about next steps. If you have any further questions, please call this office at (574) 235-9251. Sincerely, /s/ Anne Fuchs Anne Fuchs, Clerk AF/lh
