Side of South Bend Ave. between Corby Blvd. & Campeau St. <br /> (Preliminary Review) <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Nichols: <br /> <br />At its April 12, 2022 meeting, the Board of Public Works reviewed comments by the Engineering <br />Division, Community Investment, Fire Department, Police Department. The following comments and <br />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 />not 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 not hinder the use of a public right-of- <br />way by the neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous. <br /> <br />Therefore, the Board of Public Works submitted a favorable recommendation for the vacation <br />of this alley subject to any additional space needed to allow for turning movements at the “L” alley <br />intersection be located on the petitioners property so as not to burden the adjacent residential <br />property owner. The petitioner should consult with City Engineering to determine if / how much <br />additional space is needed for turning movements. If you still wish to pursue this alley vacation, please <br />bring this BPW Recommendation Packet to the City Clerk’s Office, located on the fourth floor of the <br />County-City Building. Alley/Street vacations require a presentation to the Common Council, approval of <br />an ordinance, and certification of the ordinance from the Mayor. The property then must be recorded with <br />the Recorder’s Office to ensure that your 50% ownership of the property is appropriately transferred to <br />your name. If you have any questions about how the alley vacation will affect your property taxes, please <br />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 />/s/ Theresa Heffner <br />Theresa Heffner, Clerk <br />Enclosures <br />TH/lh
