(Nothing to report at this time) C. COMMITTEE REPORT 1. Standards and Maintenance Committee Report Martha gave a report that Standards and Maintenance had met with the owner of 322 W. Marion and had approved the repairs to the main roof (tear off and replace in-kind, roof materials, and soffits) and in-kind repairs to the porch foundations. The Standards and Maintenance Committee also approved half -round gutter with downspouts to be placed at the rear of the property. 2. Southhold Awards Committee Re -cap LYNN PATRICK: We had our Southhold Awards ceremony as planned. We many people attend, but hope to reach a larger audience next year. We plan next year to send our invitations earlier and to work for a better attendance. Our speaker, Glory -June Grieff gave a wonderful lecture about the county's important PWA resources: park sites, schools, and other structures. The Studebaker Museum was very nice and so were the displays. The food was not as good as Tippecanoe Place, so we will probably search for another caterer. Other than that it was a very nice event. D. STAFF REPORTS 1. Results of zoning hearing for 416 W. LaSalle, April 20, 3:30 P.M. JULIE SCHUTTE: The rezoning board sent an unfavorable recommendation for the rezoning of 416 :. W. LaSalle from Mixed Used to Light Industrial. This proposal was also opposed by nearby landmark owners and other neighborhood groups. 2. St. Stephen's Church & school; other W. Washington significant buildings. JULIE SCHUTTE: Will give further report on West Washington at a later date. 3. Brick Street Workshop, Fort Wayne, Indiana JULIE SCHUTTE: Wayne and I attended a brick street repair workshop in Fort Wayne. It was very informative. Royce Baier, of Paxton, Illinois, has completed several brick street repairs. He presented a lecturer and supervised the hands-on workshop. He showed that brick streets are feasible to repair and they are economically viable as the maintenance retains the streets for another eighty years. Hopefully, similar workshops or actual projects could come to South Bend. There was also mention of grant opportunities that other cities have received. Indianapolis received a grant from the Federal Highway Administration to restore. several of their brick streets. Up to eighty percent federal and up to twenty percent local matching grant. Most of local portion of the grant is the supply of materials -- the salvage brick. 4. Correspondence: Leeper Bridge C of A extension 5
