[Filed Clerk's Office <br /> Dawn Jones, City Clerk R 0 9 2022 <br /> 4th Floor, County-City Building N MJONES <br /> 227 W Jefferson Blvd. _ ,SOUTH BEND,IN <br /> South Bend, IN 46601 <br /> RE: Alley Vacation for FNWNA Development <br /> March 9, 2022 <br /> Dear Clerk Jones, <br /> We are excited to be moving forward in the development of affordable housing units in our <br /> neighborhood. Due to the zoning requirements, we are not allowed to create curb cuts to enter <br /> the property from Meade St. so our site plan has the garage facing the alley. Currently, the alley <br /> is not passable with overgrown bushes and even neighbor-made barriers created years ago. <br /> Our hope is to gain ownership of the area so that we might improve the pathway behind the <br /> homes with pavement, lighting, and fencing to increase the safety for homeowners entering their <br /> property from behind and make it easier to clear a path through the snow in the winter. <br /> Enclosed please find the following information compiled to support the petition for alley vacation <br /> from the Far Northwest Neighborhood Association: <br /> 1. BPW Recommendation PACKET from the Board of Public Works <br /> 2. Petition to Vacate signed by abutting property owners. <br /> 3. Draft of the ordinance <br /> 4. Envelopes addressed and stamped with certified mail for all property owners <br /> within one hundred fifty feet (150) of the right-of-way to be vacated <br /> 5. Bank check made payable to the City of South Bend for the filing <br /> fee of$150.00 <br /> Thank you for your assistance with scheduling our hearing for the upcoming council meeting. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Thelma L. Williams <br /> President, Far Northwest Neighborhood Association <br />
