REQUEST OF MEMORIAL HOSPITAL FOR TEMPORARY EASEMENTS - REFERRED In a letter to the Board, Mr. Carl Ellison, Assistant Vice -President, Memorial Hospital of South Bend, 615 North Michigan Street, South Bend, Indiana, advised that on April 28, 1987, the Board granted Memorial Health Properties, Inc., a Temporary Easement over a certain portion of Bartlett Street for the installation of a telephone line which connects Memorial Hospital with the former Nicola's Restaurant at 809 North Michigan Street, the present site of Memorial's Family Practice Residency Program and Clinic. The Board granted the Easement in view of Memorial's desire not to place the aforementioned telephone wire underground due to possible construction on the north side of the 100 block of West Bartlett Street. Although Memorial still does not have a construction project planned for this area, construction nonetheless remains possible in the future and therefore Memorial requests extension of the Temporary Easement over Bartlett Street until December 31, 1993. Mr. Ellison advised that since 1987 Memorial has relocated various hospital and Memorial Health System offices to facilities located near the primary hospital complex. To maximize the efficiency of operations and communications, Memorial believes it is essential that these offices be connected to the hospital's telephone system. Accordingly, two (2) additional Temporary Easements are requested until December 31, 1993. Specifically, as illustrated on Map II as submitted with the letter and described at Attachment II, an Easement over the north -south alley east of Michigan Street and north of Navarre Street is needed to connect 701 North St. Joseph Street to Memorial's telephone system. The area near 701 North St. Joseph has experienced substantial hospital related development over the past few years and additional property acquisition and development are possible. Consequently, the hospital would prefer not to bury the telephone wire associated with this Easement at this time. L, 1 1
