d. Chapin Street R -29 Disposition and Easement.
The staff is still working on the supplementary disposition
documents. Before disposition to the Housing Authority, a
solution has to be reached on the underground utility
easement. Mr. Dickinson feels the easement cannot remain
at the present location, and removal would cost from
$10,000 to $15,000., Neither the Indiana and Michigan
Electric Company nor the Redevelopment Department can under-
stand why the electric underground cable must be relocated
by Mr. Dickinson's decision, although he is allowing to
remain in the same area a water main, a sewer line, and a
gas main. The $10,000 to $15,000 cost would have to be borne
by the I & M or the Redevelopment Commission.
