which she operates or a project she operates; because, if we don't the way she wants to go at it we could have problems. JULIE SCHUTTE: There is a different approach or a different way in which the commission can explain its decision in those types of cases for approving or possibly approving a synthetic siding going on top of the original; because of the possible monies that need to be spent on the interiors to bring them back to single family dwellings. I think that the commission has a reasonable explanation for the exceptions to their policies for them restoring the siding on the exterior. It seems to me in that area of the district what is more important - -the exterior or actually getting stable single - family housing. It would be lovely to have their exteriors historically accurate and restored; but I think that the commission could find a way to phrase it so that the neighborhood understands why. BOB YAPP: I am going to ask the commission to be very careful about this. Consistency on historic preservation commissions is absolutely critical to maintain credibility in the community. I found this to be true with all the commissions I have worked with throughout Northern Indiana and throughout my entire career. If a community development corporation wants to do some houses in a local historic district; then they should not be doing anything different than what everyone else is doing; especially in Chapin Park. My experience and being in the neighborhood next to Chapin Park; Chapin Park is over the hump. Chapin Park is not like the Cottage Grove area where I live where we are not even close to the hump. Private development is what is going to finish turning Chapin Park around, not non - for -profit organizations going in and doing low and moderate income housing. Our central city neighborhoods have no economic diversity because we're packing all of this low and moderate income housing into our central city neighborhoods. It's economic bigotry in a sense; because, you are looking at the fact that everything is being packed into one area and it is all low to moderate income. We need to start attracting middle to upper middle income families as well as quality low and moderate income families into the neighborhoods instead. That part of the central city, the Chapin Park Neighborhood, is not in need of HUD based low and moderate income housing programs. With HUD regulations being totally anti - preservation and promoting vinyl siding and promoting vinyl windows; it's our organization's belief and hope that the commission will not make any exceptions for this organization going into a brand new local historic district. There was a comment made about the authenticity of the exterior; that's the most important part of a historic district. I don't care if they decimate the inside of the property; you have no purview over that. I want people to retain the architectural integrity and the interiors of their homes, but the most critical part is the visual of the neighborhood. I am urging you that whatever your standards are for that neighborhood that you don't adjust them for one organization. D. STAFF REPORTS 1.
