recommend this same firm to you to take a look at, to take a look at the windows but I recommend <br />them very very highly. <br />GE: I invite everyone to come to my house and I will give everyone a guided tour that will show <br />everything. <br />LP: I think that we're moving in that direction. <br />GE: Yes, but I think that information about the windows in the dining room are on the table, and <br />to say that its not clear ... I do not share that, I respectfully disagree. <br />LP: I guess that you get to a certain point where the only way to know is just to go out and look <br />at it. <br />GE: Well, but you are specialists and you can read architectural drawings and they're on the: <br />table, and all three options are there with 15 drawings and one is the original situation, one is <br />the storm windows, and the replacement windows. I'd like to say something about the idea to <br />repair single glass windows as they are now. It is feasibly, technically not possible because my <br />windows are much bigger than Susan's windows. These are enormous windows, and it is not <br />feasible to place a second glass on that frame as Wayne Doolittle said last time. It's not possible <br />to repair, it's feasibly not possible. That is what I got from Wayne. <br />There are only three options, well... four, do nothing. Either repair the windows as they are, <br />keeping one glass, and then to have cold rooms in the house, or to put storm windows up so we <br />have two glasses, but that would be against the historic record of the house. Technically, <br />aesthetically, that is clear from the drawings, or to have those premier windows. And my <br />proposal ifyou think that the information for the arched windows, then I ask that you vote on the <br />proposal for the four dining room windows. With all the information necessary here on the table. <br />CH: I have a letter here from the former homeowner Amy Jones that I'd like to read. It's dated <br />October 6, 2006. Dear Members of the St. Joseph County Historic Preservation Commission, I am <br />writing as a former owner/custodian of the Anderson House — a local historic landmark home <br />located at 710 Park Avenue. It has come to my attention that a Certificate of Appropriateness <br />has been submitted for replacement ofseveral windows at the Anderson House. Igreatly <br />appreciate the financial commitment involved in order to properly maintain such a historic home. <br />Improving the energy effectiveness of an older home is certainly significant among the many <br />concerns homeowners face. However, I think such concerns can be effectively addressed while <br />balancing the historic integrity of the structure. An example of an unfortunate energy saving <br />measure was evident on the Anderson House for many years. At some point in the 1970's the <br />owner had sheet metal bolted to the arched tops of the windows squaring off the arch shape in <br />order to make the window openings adaptable to standard rectangular metal storm windows. <br />While the metal has since then been removed, it was most definitely a glimpse of what can happen <br />to a beautiful and unique feature of a historic home for the sake of energy efficiency. Local <br />Historic Landmark guidelines must certainly address such considerations as window <br />replacement. It is my hope that your commission will help Dr. Enderle find options, which are <br />both within the local landmark guidelines and effective means of making his home as energy <br />eff cient as possible. My Regards to Your Efforts, Amy M. Jones, formerly of 710 Park Avenue, <br />South Bend, Indiana. <br />LP: Thank you. Do we have ... the chair at this point will allow for any additional evidence <br />that anyone wishes to submit in this matter? Yes? <br />GE: /would like to make a short comment on the session last time. Our colleague <br />Joann (Joan Downs-Krostenko) read a well prepared statement, she was asked to do <br />that, she did not know what the statement actually said or what it was. It was ordered or <br />asked for by somebody else, so without knowing what that was, she made that <br />statement. What is this? I think that this is overstepping the line of good citizen <br />behavior. If ...and if there is, I mean organized by the staff or I don know who is <br />organizing that, but I think that those statements should at least be truthful. <br />LP: Thank you. [Inaudible] Sure, in the interest offull disclosure, then I'd like to... <br />JD: I think that you misunderstood what I said to you on the phone after that meeting. I was <br />informed that there was an issue on the table, but I didn't have access to your C ofA. So, I was <br />told briefly what the issue was and did I have a concern? Which I did. So I prepared my <br />T <br />
