<br />Re: Application for Certificate of Appropriateness
<br />File No. 58201
<br />Dear Commission:
<br />Attached is the Application for Certificate of Appropriateness for improvements to the
<br />North Pumping Station located at 830 N. Michigan St., South Bend, IN. The project
<br />includes the addition of chemical feed equipment, filter vessels, pumps, piping, HVAC
<br />systems and electrical systems to the existing facility. Also included is the renovation of
<br />office space to the south wing of the facility to house the water works staff, various field
<br />piping modifications /additions, and a new overflow structure. These improvements are
<br />addressed in detail in the following paragraphs:
<br />1. Improvements to the interior of the North Pumping Station will require the
<br />addition of intakes /exhausts tot dehumidification, ventilation, heating and cooling
<br />systems. Attached on plan sheet A5 is an elevation of the east face of the facility.
<br />All HVAC systems, where penetrations to the exterior (louvers) are required,
<br />were kept to the rear (east face) of the facility (low visibility). Per our
<br />conversions and meetings with the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) we
<br />have kept the louvers. high, in the arches of the window. Therefore, if the
<br />windows are replaced in the future the louvers will not be in the way in the lower
<br />sections of the windows. No changes were made to the to the exterior of the
<br />north, south or west face of the facility, due to the high visibility from Michigan
<br />St. to these exteriors.
<br />The existing trolley system on the east face is not original to the Station. It was
<br />added in recent years for the loading and unloading of chlorine ton cylinders. The
<br />existing trolley system is an eyesore and will be removed, refer to the attached
<br />(upper)
