Staff Report <br />City of South Bend <br />Monroe -Edgewater Intersection <br />Proposal <br />The city proposes to rehabilitate the lift station at Monroe <br />and Edgewater, with the majority of the work to be done <br />within the structure below grade except the installation of <br />two 3' valve (indicator) posts to be mounted on top of the <br />existing structure as directed by the Indiana Dept. of <br />Enviornmental Management. <br />A second project, being bid as an alternate, would involve <br />decommissioning the lift station at Edgewater and Bronson, <br />with the structure to remain. An 8" sanitary sewer along <br />Edgewater to the Monroe -Edgewater lift station would be <br />constructed, with the roadway along Edgewater to be removed <br />and replaced, including a new curb and gutter. The existing <br />roadway alignment and width would be maintained. The boat <br />launch constructed by Kevin Smith next to the lift station <br />at Bronson and Edgewater would not be disturbed. (Drawings <br />available for both projects.) <br />Standards <br />Required <br />Distinctive existing features sucha as . . .streets, <br />alleys and building setbacks shall be retained. <br />Prohibited <br />Existing relationships of buildings and their <br />environments shall not be destroyed through widening <br />existing streets, changing paving materila, or by <br />introducing inappropriately located new streets of <br />parking lots incompatible with the character of the <br />neighborhood. <br />Recommendation <br />The staff recommends that the city be permitted to proceed <br />with their plans, as per drawings and certificates of <br />appropriateness submitted by Lawson -Fisher Associates. The <br />project(s) do not change or alter the landscape, structures, <br />or roadway in any manner other than corrective maintenance. <br />
