369 MARIA KACZMARICK: I would like to know if the Commission or the City is <br />370 planning to dump some money into this neighborhood. It is mostly made up of non-profit <br />371 agencies and apartments none of which will put money into these properties. <br />372 <br />373 MARTHA CHOITZ: Lincolnway East was very much the same as Taylor's Field <br />374 when we first designated it as a Historic District and it took them 15 years to turn around. <br />375 You cannot expect the neighborhood to change over night. The funding ordinarily comes <br />376 from the owner. <br />377 <br />378 GERALD UJDAK: It is not in the Commissions makeup to be able to financial <br />379 support historic properties. <br />380 <br />381 MARIA KACZMARICK: You can't help us search for funding? <br />382 <br />383 JOHN OXIAN: We can try to help you find funding. The profit making properties <br />384 can try to place properties on national register for tax credits. I have talked to John Hunt <br />385 regarding preserving this area at which time he was very supportive.

Lafayette, renovations. <br />402 <br />403 Mrs. Saunders presented the staff report. <br />404 <br />405 RHONDA SAUNDERS: A majority of the commission members met with the <br />406 architect, Mr. Arndt, approximately a week ago to tour the sight. During this meeting the <br />407 Commission discussed amendments to this application, which included retainment of the <br />408 granite step and replacement of all removed trees and bushes. <br />409 <br />410 JOHN OXIAN: It was also determined that two windows should be saved as well <br />411 as the bell on the north fagade. <br />412 <br />413 JOHN ARNDT: I am John Arndt, architect with Hibbard and Hibbard, the <br />414 architectural firm contracted by the South Bend School Corporations to design the <br />6 <br />
