the Chapin Park Historic District where I was one of the committee members which edited our <br />guidebook in 2005. 1 am also a board member of the Near Northwest Neighborhood which <br />encompasses the Chapin Park Historic District. 1 attend tonight's meeting requesting that the <br />Commission allow only the restoration of the original windows in the signature property at 710 <br />Park Avenue. A great deal of scholarly ink has been spilled on the question of whether new <br />windows are better at heat conservation than properly reconditioned old windows. The <br />preservationist community is in agreement. There is no question that the same and even better <br />conservation can be obtained by reconditioning original windows. Therefore, as the Anderson <br />House at 710 Park is a signature property in an amazing state of preservation and thus a <br />treasure to the entire community, and as the standards to which such an exemplary property <br />should be held are clear in this case regarding preservation of existingfeatures ofsuch <br />incalculable value, and as the compromising on this fact in anyway sets a terribly dangerous <br />precedent in the Chapin Park Historic District and in the St. Joseph County, I respectfully <br />request that 710 Park Avenue be allowed only the restoration of its original windows. Those of <br />us who own historic homes know that we are caretakers; our properties were interesting, <br />beautiful and valuable before we inhabited them. It is our duty to, like Hippocrates, "do not <br />harm ". These buildings are not there only for our convenience and enjoyment. They are civic <br />treasures. Sometimes we chose what may seem a time consuming or painstaking approach to <br />their maintenance but this is because we understand our role and see ourselves clearly as only <br />one in what is hopefully a long line of lovers of our heritage. <br />LP: How many more pages do you have? <br />JK: That's it. <br />LP: Thank you very much. The chair now closes the public portion. <br />SP: I would like to add that the speaker that just, because the application was withdrawn, when <br />the it is submitted again, your comments will not necessarily be apart of that record. <br />From mark 910-913 on tape, conversation is inaudible <br />B. LANDMARKS <br />1. 1013 East Jefferson — Third Reading <br />CH: 1013 E Jefferson is up for its third reading. We have all of the information that is needed; <br />we just need a motion to send it to Common Council. <br />LP: As the President of the Commission, I Lynn Patrick, would ask for a motion to send <br />1013 E Jefferson to the Common Council of the City of South Bend. <br />MJC: I move to send a favorable recommendation to the Common Council regarding the <br />designation of 1013 E. Jefferson as a Local Landmark. <br />TK: Second. <br />LP: As President I ask now for a discussion on the motion on the floor. Seeing none, I <br />will now call for a vote. <br />From mark 917-921 on tape, conversation is inaudible <br />LP: All in favor? (Ayes are heard) All opposed? (Silence) The motion passes by a vote of 6-0. <br />Great. President Patrick either misspoke or miscounted, the vote was 7-0. <br />Moved: MJC Second: TK _ Vote: 7-0 Unanimous <br />2. 853 Forest — Second Reading <br />CH: 853 Forest is up for its second reading, and I did send a letter to the homeowners, and they <br />did find their abstract. They stopped by the office today, but unfortunately we were out. And so <br />they're going to drop off the abstract tomorrow for our review. If you would like to postpone the <br />second reading until next month when we have the abstract and can do some more research on it <br />we can do that. <br />G <br />
