Therefore, the Board of Public Works submitted a favorable recommendation for the vacation of this Right-of-Way. If you still wish to pursue this ROW vacation, please bring this BPW Recommendation Packet to the City Clerk's Office, located on the 4`h floor of the County-City Building. Alley/Street vacations require a presentation to the Common Council,approval of an ordinance,and certification of the ordinance from the Mayor. The property then must be recorded with the Recorder's Office to ensure that your 50%ownership of the property is appropriately transferred to your name. If you have any questions about how the ROW vacation will affect your property taxes,please contact the Auditor's Office. In its Ordinance, the City of South Bend Common Council included the Board of Public Works' requirement that you eliminate the alley approach by hiring a private contractor bonded with the City to tear out the approach, replace with curb, and establish a tree lawn in accordance with City standards and specifications.These updates should be made within ninety(90)days of final approval from the Common Council.
