The following <br />comments and recommendations were submitted: <br />Per IC 36-7-3-13, the vacation would 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 <br />would make access to the lands of the aggrieved person by means of public way <br />difficult or inconvenient. The vacation would not hinder the public’s access to a church, <br />school or other public building or place. The vacation would hinder the use of a public <br />right-of-way 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 the <br />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 fourth 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/ Theresa Heffner <br /> <br />Theresa Heffner, Clerk <br />Enclosures <br />TH/lh <br />
