1) Lincolnway East Mrs. Choitz reported that a meeting, sponsored by the HPu, will be held on Thursday, April 19, 1984 at 7:30 p.m. for the residents of Lincolnway East to answer any further questions they might have about the district. Due to an error in researching property owners, not all of the owners had been contacted previously. These owners have been sent notices of the meeting. First reading was held on the district ordinance by the Common Council on April 9, 1984. There was a question as to whether or not land contract owners should be contacted as the legal owners and the Commission asked Ms. Kiemnec to seek a legal opinion from Mr. Butler. 2) 601 Lincolnway East Ms. Kiemnec read the letter from Ms. Kathy Barnard of the Code Enforcement Department (see Appendix A) which was a response to the Commission's request that the Building Commissioner use the legal means available to him to require the maintenance of 601 Lincolnway East. The letter outlined two options: #1 to have the city order the repair of the building and charge the owner and #2 to place the building in a receivership. Mrs. Choitz made a motion to have Ms. Kiemnec call a meeting with Ms. Leslie Choitz of Southhold Restorations, Mr. Jeft Gibney of South Bend Heritage, and Ms. Barnard to discuss the receivership program and it that does not work that option #1 should be put into effect; Mr. Nimtz seconded; motion passed, Mr. Hayes voted nay. 3) Historic District Committee Meeting Mrs. Choitz reported that she would like to have an Historic District Committee Meeting on April 24, 1984 at her home at 6:00 p.m. to discuss district procedures. 4) Riverside Drive District Mr. Oxian reported that residents of the Riverside Drive area had approached him about local historic district designation for that area. The matter was referred to the Historic District Committee. c. Historic Landmarks 1) Second Reading for Landmark Designation of 1204 Lincolnway West • 3
