Bill No. 18-17 - South Bend Cubs Allev Vacation Tim Corcoran, Director of Planning with offices on the 14th floor of the County-City Building, stated, I'm here to talk about the Monroe Street Vacation. This is the portion of Monroe Street between Lafayette Blvd. and the baseball stadium. (Councilmember Oliver Davis arrived at the meeting.) We are seeking the vacation as part of the new Ivy at Berlin Place Development. This has received a favorable recommendation from all departments including the Board of Public Works, subject to the agreement between the Church and the South Bend Cubs. Joe Hart is here to speak a little bit about it. Joe Hart, 501 W. South Street, stated, Thank you for having us here. Obviously with the new development going on, we needed to vacate our portion of Monroe Street. We have had the opportunity to get to know Pastor Derrickson and his congregation and we were able to form a partnership and an agreement that will allow us to do this. We also will be working with them to do a press conference in the next few weeks to announce our partnership and do some things to help fundraise and help restore their building to return it to the glory that it once was. We've met many times and they have been great neighbors of ours. We certainly don't want them to leave 455 County-City Building•227 W.Jefferson Boulevard•South Bend,Indiana 46601 Phone 574-235-9221 •Fax 574-235-9173•TDD 574-235-5567-www.SouthBendIN.gov JENNIFER M.COFFMAN ALKEYNA M.ALDRIDGE JOSEPH MOLNAR CHIEF DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF POLICY ORDINANCE VIOLATION CLERK OPERATIONS
