Mrs. Sporleder asked that her vote be changed to ave. 4. Riverside Drive Streetlights -- Riverside Drive LHD (City of South Bend) • Mr. Holycross read the staff report concerning the proposal: replace five streetlights (fiberglass poles and nonhistoric fixtures) with historic "Hollowspun" poles and "Octagonal Junior" fixtures at five locations on the north side of Riverside Drive (RSD): four poles surrounding the intersection of RSD and Leland and one pole east of Park on RSD, Staff recommended that the HPC approve the proposal as submitted: the proposal meets district standards for the replacement of streetlights that are similar to the historic streetlights of the neighborhood Mrs. Sporleder asked Carl Littrell whether or not the city had the replacement poles in their possession and when they planned to accomplish the installation. He replied that the city had the poles and were "just waiting for a COA." Mr. Oxian explained that the fiberglass poles had been given temporary COAs: if the HPC approved, the temporary COAs would be withdrawn. Mr. Eide moved to approve the application as submitted. Ms. Van Daisen seconded the motion. No further discussion. Motion passed unanimously. Mr. Oxian stated that at least three of the concrete poles in question were previously cast-iron poles; "when [we] talk about what's original and what is not ... you had all cast-iron there ... you are now replacing them with concrete... if we're going to go historical on anything... this is somewhat right and somewhat wrong... it still looks better when they are all concrete..." . Mrs, Sporleder thanked everyone for the time and research they had invested in the matter; "the matter has been begun to be resolved... without too many cross purposes..." Mr. Talley then spoke at length about "ordinance 1701," and funding. Ms. DeRose promised to look into the matter. 5. 1315 East Wayne North -- East Wayne Street Mr. Holycross read the staff report concerning the proposal: install four foot (4') aluminum fence (Jerith-brand, style #202); to run from west side of house (near northwest corner) thirteen feet (13') to west, then six feet (6') to north to connect with neighbor's fence.
