STAFF REPORT <br />CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A <br />CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS <br />Date: May 26, 2005 <br />Application Number: 2005-0526 <br />Property Location: 13546 Brick Road, Granger, IN <br />Property Owner: Michael L. Humes <br />Landmark or District Designation: Local Landmark, County <br />Rating: S/11 <br />STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT <br />Built in 1875 by Warren Irvin, trustee of Hams Township and Secretary of the Board of Trustees. His wife, <br />Stanza Irvin, lived in the house until 1924. The house itself is a two storey red brick Italianate farmhouse with <br />original architectural details as wood cornice with brackets and frieze, a bracketed cupola and stone <br />windowsill and lintels. Two outbuildings, a milk house and a privy surround the house. <br />APPLICATION ITEMS: Removal of (4) spruce Trees located in front of house along Brick Road <br />under power line. <br />RECOMMENDATION: AEP's policy is to completely cut down or trim trees or move the power <br />lines. At this point we have been unable to contact owner ( phone calls May 26 & 27, letter dated May <br />31, phone calls June 7 & 9) and it is unclear if the trees are in the right of way or on the Humes' property. <br />Staff recommends tabling the COA until ownership status can be confirmed and AEP's new policy is <br />clarified. <br />
