brought before Code Enforcement's hearing officer. Mrs. DeRose said she believed that was possible, however the Commission's needs would be at the discretion of Code Enforcement. She pointed out that if there is no violation of South Bend Code, Code Enforcement is not likely to pursue a penalty. Commissioner Weiner inquired what the penalty for not filing for a building permit was because that seemed similar to the needs of the Commission with COA violators. Mrs. DeRose explained a cease and desist order was issued. She said they probably assessed a fine, but not a requirement that the work be done over again. President Oxian recommended this be further investigated because he believed the Council would be receptive to something already in place in another department. Mrs. DeRose said the Council may not see the concerns of the Commission as important as the safety issues that the Building Department deals with. Mrs. DeRose said she was not certain on all these matters, but she did know if the Commission wanted to go the penalty route, they would need to amend the Ordinance. President Oxian recommended some measure be put into place. Legal Counsel DeRose pointed out another problem was if the fine is not paid, a lot of administrative time and expenses go into filing small claims suits against the violators. Commissioner Choitz said she believed fining was not the best way to go. She suggested other Commissions be contacted for information on what they do in these situations. She also thought the National Trust should be asked for information as well. Mrs. DeRose said Indiana is a state which regulates how municipalities assess fines. President Oxian request Ms. Anderson inquire into other Commissions' dealings with COA violators. 6.Personnel No report 7. Staff Reports a.

She reported the owners will be coming to the Standards and Maintenance Committee in the Spring with details of the plans for the retaining wall, stairs, and landscape plan. c. 739 East Bronson Ms. Anderson reported staff had discussions with Code Enforcement regarding the possibility of moving the entire structure from the site as salvage. Code Enforcement said this would need to be worked out with whomever received the demolition contract. She reported at this time nothing was definitive in regard to 739 Bronson, but staff was still working on it. d.114 North Francis Ms. Anderson reported Mr. Duvall was currently at the Council meeting to remonstrate against the rezoning of the property to Commercial for use as a parking lot by a neighboring medical center. President Oxian reported the 114 North Francis is next to a house rated S/12. He added this was almost like a spot zoning. Ms. Anderson noted medical offices were one of the few commercial uses allowed in residential zoning, as "neighborhood doctors". President Oxian stated doctor's offices end up being demolition offices. e. 1995 Calendar Ms. Anderson reported the Calendar dates were normal (first Friday for agenda
