5pU7H q� <br />p4 � \dililCl�;; �O <br />Department of <br />U <br />a2 Community Investment <br />1865 <br />Memorandum <br />May 29, 2014 <br />TO: Redevelopment Commission <br />FROM: David Relos, Economic Resources <br />SUBJECT: Grant of Nipsco Easement <br />Currently Nipsco has an easement in vacated Franklin Street between Wayne and <br />Western, on the west side of the VA Clinic. Within this easement, at the northeast <br />corner of Western and Franklin is an underground regulator station (station). To <br />upgrade their gas system in the downtown area, Nipsco would like to move this station <br />to above ground and replace sections of gas lines. <br />In working with Nipsco on the placement of the new station, and to not hinder future <br />development opportunities along Western, the suggested site of this new station will be <br />placed one block north along Wayne and the north / south alley between Franklin and <br />Lafayette. Upon completion of the new station and gas lines, the current easement in <br />Franklin will be vacated, which will allow better future options for this key site. <br />Staff requests approval of this 20' x 23' easement, to allow the upgrading of this natural <br />gas regulator station and lines for the downtown area. <br />227 W.
