R��JJ REGULAR MEETING APRIL 25, 1988 APPROVE STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY LAND USE AGREEMENT - ALLIED CORPORATION Mr. Leszczynski advised that Mr. Michael J. Stepanek, Jr., Counsel, on behalf of Allied Corporation, 401 North Bendix Drive, South Bend, Indiana, submitted to the Board a City Street Right -of -Way Land Use Agreement which grants to Allied permission to install monitor wells in the public right-of-way. Mr. Leszczynski stated that the installation of the wells will not effect traffic. The Agreement, between the City and Allied-Signal, Inc.,through the Bendix Engine Controls Division, formerly the Bendix Energy Controls Division and the Bendix Wheels and Brakes Division, formerly the Bendix Aircraft Brake & Strut Division of its Allied-Signal Aerospace Company and through its Bendix Automotive Brake Systems - North America, formerly the Bendix Chassis & Brake Components Division indicates that Allied-Signal has groundwater contamination beneath its premises along Bendix Drive in South Bend and has implemented a recovery well program to recover the groundwater contamination and retard/eliminate the movement of the groundwater contamination from the Allied-Signal premises. Allied desires to expand its recovery well program by installing up to twenty-five (25) recovery wells on the northern boundary of the premises south of Bendix Drive and Bertrand Street east and west of the intersection of Bendix Drive and Bertrand Street. As Allied is unable to place the recovery wells on its property south of Bendix Drive and Bertrand Street due to the presence of buildings and underground utilities, Allied desires to place the recovery wells beneath the sidewalk within the City's right-of-way for Bendix Drive and Bertrand Street. Therefore, upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski, seconded by Mrs. DeClercq, and carried, the Agreement as submitted was approved and executed.
