Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Filed in Clerk's Office <br /> South Bend, IN 46601 Feb 17, 2026 <br /> 111,m.a I ii• l' <br /> February 17, 2026 c,,. 1\ <br /> Dear Honorable Council, <br /> Please accept this Ordinance to vacate a portion of the street right-of-way as shown in <br /> the attached diagram. This alley is between 516 S Michigan and 520 S Michigan. The <br /> east portion of this alley that connects with St. Joseph St. has already been vacated, <br /> thus this section of alley dead ends into the alley between Michigan St and St. Joseph <br /> St. properties, and it is not useful right-of-way for any properties besides 516 and 520 <br /> S Michigan. <br /> 516 S Michigan is being developed by owners Charity Stowe and Rachel Mospan into <br /> mixed use residential and commercial space. Charity and Rachel also founded the <br /> 501(c)(3) non-profit Milkweed Gardens, Inc. which owns 520 S Michigan and is turning <br /> it into a public green space and park that will serve the neighborhood. <br /> Herstoric Properties and our development partners are excited about the future <br /> development on this block. Formally vacating this right-of-way will allow for a more <br /> comprehensive design of the buildings, green spaces, and amenities being offered on <br /> this block of South Michigan. <br /> We respectfully request approval to vacate the right-of-way as shown in the attached <br /> request. Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions or concerns, <br />
