APPENDIX C Chapin Park Local Historic District Street Lighting AGREEMENT BETWEEN INDIANA & MICHIGAN ELECTRIC COMPANY AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OF SOUTH BEND & ST. JOSEPH COUNTY WHEREAS, Indiana & Michigan Electric Company, hereinafter called “I&M,” and the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County have a mutual interest in maintaining the character of historic districts and in providing adequate light- ing for public ways, the parties now agree as follows: 1. I&M will apply to the Historic Preservation Commission for approval of designs of replacement lamp fixtures which shall be uniform for all Historic Preservation Districts. Thereafter, should a lamp fixture require removal and no replacement lamp fixture of sim- ilar design be available from the City or other sources, the pre-approved design will be allowed in the Historic Preservation Districts subject to directions from the South Bend City Engineering Department. 2. In the event a lamp fixture in a Historic Preservation District is damaged, I&M will de- energize and remove the damaged lamp fixture for the public safety; however, no replace- ment will be made until specific instructions are received from the South Bend City Engineering Department. 3. When historic lamp fixtures or poles are removed from Historic Preservation Districts or in front of any Historic Landmark or when other “old style” lamp fixtures are removed from areas of the city not within Historic Preservation Districts, said poles and fixtures will be made available to, and stored by, the City of South Bend. As replacement lights are required within Historic Preservation Districts they will be drawn from this supply. In the event that there are no historic or “old style” lamps in storage, then the pre-approved design of replacement lamp fixtures, as referred to in paragraph no. 1 above, will be installed. 4. I&M reserves the right to determine when the lamps have been damaged to a point when they cannot be repaired. 5. This Agreement may be cancelled by either party upon the other party giving at least six (6) months notice in writing of its decision to cancel this Agreement. ____________________________________ Jim Cartwright Energy Services Supervisor ____________________________________ Elicia Feasel Historic Preservation Commission __________________________________ James Allison Division Manager __________________________________ Adam Toering Historic Preservation Commission Page 94 Guidebook Chapin Park Local Historic District
