RECOMMENDATIONS <br />The staff applauds and supports the effort of the South Bend Community <br />School Corporation to serve all citizens by bringing this public structure <br />within the requirements of the A.D.A. Although the development standards. <br />for landmarks do not directly address the accessibility issue, staff <br />interprets this concern as a life safety issue (egress). <br />However staff does not find the structural alteration of the window <br />appereature (removal of sill & wall) as necessary to accomplish access. <br />Furthermore, the wood pier or deck type of construction is clearly of <br />different style and technique than the concrete and masonry of the <br />historic structure. Staff therefore recommends denial of this application. <br />Staff further recommends waiver of fee for a subsequent application <br />to address the accessibility issue at this structure. <br />Should the commission find this application to be appropriate, staff <br />recommends that the owner be required to document the original conditions <br />and:.thati all *1mat eikial§:: remove d(','biaclAbblit drland(;storeddoni-,ppemises,: <br />D.
