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 of the <br />unit or neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous. The vacation would <br />make access to the lands of the aggrieved person by means of public way difficult or <br />inconvenient. The vacation would not hinder the public’s access to a church, school or <br />other public building or place. The vacation would hinder the use of a public right of way <br />by the neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous. <br /> <br />Therefore, the Board of Public Works submitted an unfavorable recommendation for <br />the vacation of this alley. If you still wish to pursue this alley vacation, please bring this BPW <br />Recommendation Packet to the City Clerk’s Office, located on the 4th floor of the County-City <br />Building. Alley/Street vacations require a presentation to the Common Council, approval of an <br />ordinance, and certification of the ordinance from the Mayor. The property then must be recorded <br />with the Recorder’s Office to ensure that your 50% ownership of the property is appropriately <br />transferred to your name. If you have any questions about how the alley vacation will affect your <br />property taxes, please contact the Auditor’s Office. <br /> <br />If you have any further questions, please call this office at (574) 235-9251. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />/s/ Laura Hensley/Acting <br /> <br />Clerk <br />
