Petition to Vacate Plat and Public Right-of-Way 210
211
1. Lawrence K Hughes ("Petitioner"), pursuant to Indiana Code 36-7-3-12, 212
does hereby respectfully petition the Common Council for the City of 213
Carmel, Indiana, for the vacation of a portion of Harry Bowser’s 214
Northridge Addition (the “Plat”), including a section of the existing 215
Public Rights of Way of "Broadway Avenue" and “East 104th Street” 216
(the "Public Ways"), located entirely within the corporate boundaries 217
of the City of Carmel, Indiana, as is particularly described below and 218
in the exhibits attached hereto and made a part hereof. 219
220
2. The Plat and Public Way being vacated is more particularly 221
described in Exhibit "1" and depicted in Exhibit "2" hereto, this is 222
incorporated herein by this reference. 223
224
3. In support of this petition, the Petitioner submits the following: 225
226
A. The Public Way sought to be vacated will not hinder the growth 227
of orderly development of Carmel, nor of the neighborhoods 228
contiguous to or in which the Public Way is located. 229
230
B. Vacation of the Public Way will not leave any adjoining or 231
interested property owners without access to their real estate by 232
means of a public way or street or make such access 233
inconvenient or difficult. 234
235
C. Vacating the proposed Public Way does not hinder the public's 236
access to any church, school or other public place. 237
238
D. Vacating the proposed Public Way does not hinder the use of a 239
public way by the neighborhood in which it is located or to which it 240
is contiguous. 241
242
4. The following are the names and addresses of the owners of land 243
which abut the Public Way proposed to be vacated: 244
245
Lawrence K Hughes 246
10402 N Ruckle Street 247
Carmel, Indiana, 46280 248
249
Parknorth II, LLC 250
10402 n Ruckle Street 251
Carmel, Indiana 46280 252
253
254
255
5. Due to development of the property immediately north and west of 256
the Public Ways, the sections of Broadway Avenue and East 104th 257
Street are no longer needed for public access. The Petitioners need 258
the Public Way vacated to enable and enhance the construction of a 259
new commercial buildings and expansion on an existing business. 260
The increased property value due to the addition of a portion of the 261
Public way to the petitioner's property will benefit the City of Carmel 262
through enhanced property tax revenue. 263

appropriations. 66
67
Section 4. Except as provided in Section 5, the DLGF is respectfully requested to set the 68
2023 property tax levies of the 2391, 0180, and 0181 debt service funds at levels needed to fund 69
appropriations plus operating balances to the extent allowed by law. 70
71
Section 5. After applying the maximum ad valorem property tax levy, as that term is 72
described at Indiana Code § 6-1.1-18.5-3, to the 0708 Motor Vehicle Highway Fund and the 73
0101 General Fund, as appropriate, the Department of Local Government Finance is respectfully 74
requested to reduce levies, as necessary, to eliminate operating balances in the 2482 Road Bond 75
Fund, the 0180 Debt Service Fund, the 0181 Debt Service Fund, and then the 0182 Debt Service 76
Fund in that order, and then to reduce the levy in the General Fund, such that the total tax levy is 77
reduced to a level which will result in the total City tax rate named in Section 2. 78
79
Section 6. The Council hereby permits borrowing among City funds in accordance with 80
Indiana Code § 36-1-8-4. Borrowing is permitted only when it is necessary to enhance a fund in 81
need of money for cash flow purposes when another fund has sufficient money on deposit. The 82
borrowed amount shall be returned by December 31, 2024, and may not exceed the amount 83
needed to fund appropriations or other lawful disbursements. Only revenues derived from the 84
levying and collection of property taxes or special taxes or from operation of the political 85
subdivision may be included in the amount transferred. 86
