Dear Mr. Kelly:
I write this letter as attorney for the Historic
Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County.
During the course of doing research on Leeper Park and the
North Pumping Station, Commission member J. Edward Talley came to
notice an error in the legal description for Ordinance Number
6738-80 . This error was confirmed by the Engineering Department
of the City of South Bend (legal descriptions, maps and documents
previously faxed to City Clerk) , and was an agenda item at the
March meeting of the Historic Preservation Commission.
Briefly stated, the ground described in Ordinance 6738-80 is
actually land situated south of the pumping station, thus leaving
the landmark building and related structures undescribed. The
requested amendment will correct this error and actually bring a
designated legal description to the land which lies beneath the
North Pumping Station and related structures . This legal
description of land is in fact the original land purchased by the
City of South Bend in 1895 for the purpose of creating the Water
Works Department .

It should be noted that this correction of the legal
description in the 1980 landmark ordinance does not include the
6-million gallon reservoir, which was a stipulation during the
passage of the original Ordinance.
Sincerely,
