It is an American <br />Foursquare with Prairie style influences, rated <br />Contributing /10 in the Indiana Historic Sites and <br />Structures Survey. The major exterior finish is stucco. <br />THe first residents were Otto E. Gelbrich, a foreman at <br />Oliver and his wife, Ada. <br />PROPOSED CHANGE <br />The Owners propose to enclose the rear yard with privacy <br />fence along the alley between the garage and the east side <br />property line and between the south rear corner of the <br />house and the east property line. They also propose to <br />alter the rear yard surface by removing stone patio pavers <br />and installing new brick patio pavement. Some stone pavers <br />are to be reused as path pavers. remaining disturbed yard <br />area is to be regraded and reseeded in grass. <br />An additional item regarding the siding of the garage was <br />withdrawn by letter August 8. <br />STANDARDS <br />The treatment level established for Riverside Drive LHD is <br />rehabilitation. <br />The design Guidelines state: <br />1) "Recommended - New Site work shall be based upon actual <br />knowledge of the past appearance of the property..... New <br />Site work should also be appropriate to existing <br />surrounding site elements.in scale, type, and appearance." <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The proposed new fence material conforms to the existing <br />similar material in place on the property lines. Placement <br />of the new fencing is in locations which are traditional <br />to the pattern of this neighborhood. <br />The stone pavement which is proposed to be removed is not <br />of primary historical interest with regard to the <br />integrity of the site or structure. Its removal and <br />partial re -use is acceptable. The new brick pavement is <br />likewise. The proposed configuration will yield less paved <br />are and greater landscaping in a more useful <br />configuration. <br />The Staff recommends approval of this application. <br />David B.
