RE:Alley/Street Vacation—618,620,622 Marion St.,419,421,425 Leland Ave.,&627 LWW <br /> (Preliminary Review) <br /> Dear Ms. Michaels: <br /> At its June 10,2025 meeting,the Board of Public Works reviewed comments by the Engineering Division, <br /> Community Investment,Fire Department,Police Department. The following comments and recommendations were <br /> submitted: <br /> Per IC 36-7-3-13,the vacation would not hinder the growth or orderly development of the unit or <br /> neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous.The vacation would not make access <br /> to the lands of the aggrieved person by means of public way difficult or inconvenient. The vacation <br /> would not hinder the public's access to a church, school or other public building or place. The <br /> vacation would not hinder the use of a public right of way by the neighborhood in which it is located <br /> or to which it is contiguous. <br /> Therefore,the Board of Public Works submitted a favorable recommendation for the vacation.If you still <br /> wish to pursue this vacation,please bring this BPW Recommendation Packet to the City Clerk's Office,located on <br /> the 4' floor of the County-City Building. Alley/Street vacations require a presentation to the Common Council, <br /> approval of an ordinance,and certification of the ordinance from the Mayor. The property then must be recorded <br /> with the Recorder's Office to ensure that your 50%ownership of the property is appropriately transferred to your <br /> name.If you have any questions about how the vacation will affect your property taxes,please contact the Auditor's <br /> Office. <br /> In its Ordinance, the City of South Bend Common Council included the Board of Public Works' <br /> requirement that you eliminate the alley approach by hiring a private contractor bonded with the City to tear <br /> out the approach, replace with curb, and establish a tree lawn in accordance with City standards and <br /> specifications.These updates should be made within ninety(90)days of final approval from the Common Council. <br /> Please notify us when this work is complete.If you have any further questions,please call this office at(574)235- <br /> 9251. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> /s/Theresa Heffner <br /> Theresa Heffner,Clerk <br /> Enclosures <br /> TH/hh <br /> ELIZABETH A.MARADIK JOSEPH R.MOLNAR GARY A.GILOT MURRAY L.MILLER BREANA N.Micou <br />
