CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS STAFF REPORT <br />PROPERTY -- 1097 Riverside Drive <br />South Bend, Indiana <br />OWNER -- Mike Murphy <br />DESIGsdA ON -- Riverside Drive - Local Historic District <br />STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE /HISTORIC CONTEXT <br />This dwelling was constructed circa 1906. It is an American Foursquare, rated <br />non - contributing in the Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Survey. The <br />exterior has been extensively modified by application of aluminum siding which <br />abscures virtually all original surface features. A one car detached garage is <br />located at the rear of the site. This garage is the subject of this <br />application <br />PROPOSED CHANGE <br />The Owners propose to remove the existing overhead garage door and replace it <br />with a new overhead door. <br />STANDARDS <br />The treatment level established for Riverside Drive LHD is rehabilitation. <br />The design Guidelines state: <br />1) "Required - Original windows and doors ....shall be retained or when <br />deteriorated beyond repair, replaced with units and trim resembling the <br />original. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />This proposed alteration is associated with a broader rehabilitation of this <br />garage structure which was approved as in -kind replacement on 8- 14 -94. As work <br />progressed on that project, the owner determined that the overhead door would <br />best be replaced. <br />Although the construction date of the garage is not known, it was most <br />probably built before World War II. It highly improbable that the wood panel <br />overhead door which is proposed for removal was original. The proposed <br />replacement door is similar in appearance, but composed of metal with <br />insulated core, embossed to replicate recessed panels. <br />The Staff recommends approval of this application. <br />David B.
