REGULAR MEETING MARCH 26, 2012 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />BILL NO. 03-12 PUBLIC HEARING ON A BILL TO VACATE <br />THE FOLLOWING DESCRIBED PROPERTY: <br />THE STREET TO BE VACATED IS A PORTION <br />OF UNITED DRIVE (PRAIRIE AVENUE) FROM <br />THE EAST RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE OF SCOTT <br />STREET TO THE SOUTH RIGHT-OF-WAY <br />LINE OF THE NORFOLK AND SOUTHERN <br />RAILROAD OVERPASS. A SECOND PORTION <br />TO BE VACATED IS SAID UNITED DRIVE <br />BEGINNING AT THE NORTH RIGHT-OF-WAY <br />LINE OF SAID NORFOLK AND SOUTHERN <br />RAILROAD OVERPASS THENCE NORTH TO <br />THE SOUTH RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE OF SOUTH <br />STREET <br /> <br />Councilmember Varner, Chairperson, Public Works and Property Vacation Committee, <br />reported that this committee held a Public Hearing on this bill this afternoon and sends it <br />to the full Council with a favorable recommendation as amended. <br /> <br />Councilmember Henry Davis, Jr. made a motion to amend this bill. Councilmember <br />Dieter seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of nine (9) ayes. <br /> <br />Council Attorney Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand read into the record the following <br />amendment: add to the end of Section IV: “This vacation shall be subjected to a <br />memorandum of understanding between the property owner and the redevelopment <br />commission addressing coordination and assembly for furtherance of the Renaissance <br />District.” <br /> <br />Mikel Currier, Wightman Petrie, 412 S. Lafayette Blvd., South Bend, Indiana, made the <br />presentation on behalf of the City of South Bend. <br /> <br />Mr. Currier advised that the petitioner is requesting the vacation of the real property to <br />further development opportunities on the former Millennium Environmental site and <br />allow connectivity through development to the Union Station site and the Ivy Tower <br />Complex. <br /> <br />This being the time heretofore set for the Public Hearing on the above bill, proponents <br />and opponents were given an opportunity to be heard. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dieter stated that he has some concerns about the vacation. He stated <br />that as a South Bend Police Officer he is well aware that many officers use United Drive <br />leaving the South Bend Police Station. He stated that his concern is that when they get a <br />call to a north location from the station they will now have to use South Street or Taylor <br />Street. He stated that those are heavily populated residential streets. He stated that he is <br />concerned for the residents of that area. Councilmember Dieter stated that he would like <br />to continue this bill until those questions and concerns can be addressed by the Board of <br />Public Works, Engineering and the Housing Authority. Additionally, Councilmember <br />Dieter made a motion to continue this bill until the April 9, 2012 meeting of the Council <br />and refer back to the Public Works and Property Vacation Committee until the questions <br />and concerns are met. Councilmember Henry Davis, Jr. seconded the motion which <br />carried by a voice vote of nine (9) ayes. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 6 <br /> <br />
