STAFF REPORT <br />CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A <br />CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS <br />Application Number: 2000-0810 <br />Property Location: 112 S. Lafayette <br />Property Owner: St. Joseph County <br />Landmark or District Designation: LL <br />Rating: 0/13 <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The Preservation Guidelines for Local Landmarks follow the Rehabilitation Model. <br />Group B Standards <br />The applicant is requesting to install "monumental" lighting on the roof of the <br />existing 1855 Courthouse, four (4) #95V-10005 fixtures, 30 in. high and 1000 watts. The <br />fixture color is DNA Natural Aluminum to match the adjacent stainless -steal roof. <br />The staff finds that the proposed lights detract and disrupt the visible unity or <br />overall appearance of the courthouse. They are too large causing them to be extremely <br />visible from ever fagade of the building except the rear. The staff would prefer that the <br />structure not be lit then to leave these garish lights in place, thus, staff recommends <br />denial of the application. <br />
