2. At 1132 Lincoln Way East; there is a concrete block and exposed plywood garage. granted a Certificate of Appropriateness for double -four inch vinyl siding to match that which the commission approved for the house. The plywood that had been used to side the garage previously has been up there for several years and apparently completely unpainted. It looks as if someone just started on the garage and used it for ten or twenty years without painting it. So, it now should match the house and anything they do to it should be an improvement over what it was before. 3.

JOHN OXIAN: Karen, why don't you construct a rough draft letter and send it to the Troyer Group? In the letter you can list all of the commission's concerns regarding the proposed walking path. JOHN OXIAN: Going on to the Automobile Shelter in Potawatomi Park. Do you have anything to say about that? KAREN HAMMOND-NASH: I attended the River Park Neighborhood Association meeting. Some measure of satisfaction and concern was expressed regarding the Park Department's restoration plans for the automobile shelter. As you may know the Park Department plans are to restore the roof and the promenade and to demolish the core of the building. Also in reference to that meeting I got a call the next day from members of the association asking if John, as an expert, on Lincoln Way highway historic issues and to would to their next neighborhood meeting. As you know the Automotive Tourists Association donated that building to the city of South Bend because of its proximity to
