CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS STAFF REPORT <br />PROPERTY -- Streetlights: North side of Riverside Drive <br />South Bend, IN 46616 <br />OWNERS -- City of South Bend <br />DESIGNATION -- Riverside Drive LHD <br />STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT <br />The streetlights proposed for replacement in this application are <br />fiber -glass supporting post and fixtures that were installed to replace <br />damaged streetlights sometime in the 1970s, 80s, or 90s. They have no <br />historic value except that they are located on the historic locations of <br />the streetlights they replaced. <br />PROPOSED CHANGE <br />Replace five streetlights (fiberglass poles and non -historic fixtures) with <br />historic Hollow -spun concrete poles and Octagonal fixtures at five <br />locations on the north side of Riverside Drive: four poles surrounding the <br />intersection of Leland and Riverside Drive; and the fourth pole east of <br />Park on Riverside Drive. <br />STANDARDS <br />District standards (appendix A, p.32) state that "lamp fixtures and <br />supporting posts must be similar in proportion, scale and detail to the <br />existing historic lamps." <br />RECOMMENDATIONS <br />It is recommended that the HPC approve this proposal. The proposal meets <br />the above requirement for replacement of streetlights that are similar to <br />the historic streetlights of the neighborhood. <br />F. Holycross <br />4-7-93 <br />• <br />
