BACKGROUND: The Valparaiso Realty Company’s Pine Crest Addition to Valparaiso, Sheet No. 3, Subdivision No. 6 was platted and accepted by the Board of County Commissioners on February 9, 1926. The right-of-way vacation associated with this parcel is as follows: A. Vacation of right-of-way along unimproved 15th Street is the North one half of right- of-way lying adjacent to Lots 10, 11 and 12, Block 66, Valparaiso Realty Company’s Pine Crest Addition to Valparaiso, Sheet No. 3 Subdivision No. 6. The right-of-way area requested to be vacated measures 25 feet by 150 feet. Various portions of right-of-way have been vacated in the area of these lots in the past. Exhibits included show areas of right-of-way that have been vacated adjacent to the subject lots. During a site visit performed on September 10, 2012 it was noted that there are no existing privacy fences in the south half of previously vacated 15th Street by way of Resolution 95-53 and as amended by Resolution 96-81. The amendment simply corrected a scrivener’s error in the legal description on original resolution (95-53). In the request letter from the applicant that is attached hereto, it is stated that the request for the vacation is to allow the property owner (Jennings) to erect a privacy fence along the south side of their yard. A fence would prevent public access, but the proposed resolutions include specific language whereby the County would retain drainage and utility easements through the vacated Packet Pg. 5  6.1 right-of-way (if approved). Field observations found the existing drainage ditch is west of the proposed vacation, however should future improvements be required the easement would be in place to accommodate the County’s needs. On October 16, 2012 the Board of County Commissioners voted to table this public hearing so that staff could provide additional information and options related to the vacation request. Included with this request are additional photographs of the site and two sample vacation resolutions. The photographs are intended to more clearly depict proposed and existing boundary lines. One resolution provides for a complete vacation of the remaining
