JOHN OXIAN: No, I am going to make that a separate motion; because, you're recommending against one and you are in favor of one. So, that is why I am dividing it up. Any other discussion? If not, those in favor say aye. Those against say nay. The motion carried unanimously. CATHERINE HOSTETLER: Did your motion include the address and the application number? JOHN OXIAN: No, I better put that in there. It is application 2002-0417. The address is 1012 Riverside Drive. JOHN OXIAN: Now we are going to go to part two. KAREN HAMMOND-NASH: The diagrams for the terrace and steps and the list of the materials are included. Specifications are for brick matching the existing brick and reinforced by the same type of reinforcements as in the existing terrace work. I move, that we accept application number 2002-0417 part B as recommended by staff. I seconded that motion. JOHN OXIAN: Ok, those in favor say aye. Those against say nay. The motion carries unanimously. 3. 2002-0513; 1430 East Wayne Street, South Bend, Indiana KAREN HAMMOND-NASH: Was filed May 13, 2002. This actually was thirteen days beyond what attempted to be the deadline. But, it was a sizeable job, and next month's agenda would be full; I am hopeful that the commission will be willing to consider it. There are seven items on this application they are as follows: 1. New Garage Doors The proposed new garage doors appear to be almost identical to the existing ones, except for the muntons down the middle of each existing pane, everything except the muntons is replicated in the proposed new doors. Staff recommends approval. 2. Driveway widening. Want to widen the driveway from approximately 8 feet to approximately 16 feet. Regarding this matter, page 39 of the Wayne Street District Guidebook, under "Required" states "Dominant land contours shall be retained." Under "Prohibited" on the same page, it states "Front yard areas shall not be transformed into parking areas, nor paved nor blacktopped." The existing driveway is adequate for accessing the garage; widing it would only give more parking space. Therefore, staff recommends that this part of the application be denied. 3
