STAFF REPORT <br />CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A <br />CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS <br />Date: June 20, 2005 <br />Application Number: 2005-0620 <br />Property Location: 714 Forest, South Bend, IN <br />Property Owner: Bruno Zovich <br />Landmark or District Designation: <br />Rating: C/10 <br />Chapin Park Local Historic District / NRD <br />STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT <br />Samuel Coulter purchased the lots from Edward Chapin in 1889 and William Coulter in 1891. In 1891 <br />Samuel and Nellie Coulter lived in their Folk Victorian home built in 1891 at 714 Forest until 1897. <br />APPLICATION ITEMS: Shave off 6 inches from edge of porch where it abuts into a tree. Ray Meyers <br />will be the contractor. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Staff does not recommend approval of this method because it destroys the <br />proportions of the gable of the front porch. Staff recommends that Mr. Zovich's contractor take a rectangular <br />notch out of the porch roof to accommodate the tree and future growth. This method will preserve the <br />proportions of the porch gable and allow for easier repair of the roof when the tree dies. <br />
