Hostetler: I know that they wanted to get it done, but I don't know how urgent that is. Klusczinski: Is there a motion to table? Patrick. I'll make a motion to table. Zeiger: Second. Klusczinski: Motion to table has been made and seconded pending further investigation. Hostetler: I'd like a list of all of your questions? Zeiger: You want them right now? Hostetler: Or you could email them to me. Zeiger: Design of the balustrade, height of the balustrade, are they going to have to put landings in per Code, how far out in front of the house it goes, if it goes out past the front of the house do they have to have railings on both sides, plus, the extra foot that's required at the end of the landing at the end... Hostetler. Whoa, whoa, I don't take shorthand Todd. Zeiger: Is that why you don't do minutes? Hostetler: That's right. How far out...? Zeiger: Past the front of the house. Are they going to have to have railings on both sides then if it goes out past the front of the house? Klusczinski: I would be interested in knowing whether or not the applicants would be favorable to consider other materials more in keeping with the house, the main structure. Hostetler: Like? Klusczinski: Whatever the main structure happens to be. Hostetler: Wood? Klusczinski: Wood. Zeiger: There's a couple of wood ramps in town that they could look at. The one next to the former Frederickson House on Colfax has a wood one, the house next to the former Probst House on Colfax on the other side of the river has a wood one, and I think that both have treated lumber on the—on the ramp floor. Chase: And isn't there a ramp between the People's Church and the Lafayette Building? Klusczinski: We have not yet voted on the motion to table? Herdman: Correct. Klusczinski: Thank you.

Patrick Bauer, Trustee Landmark or District Designation: Landmark Rating: Outstanding STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT: The Daniel Ward House is an Italianate built in 1865 and is significant in that the farmhouse is situated in a farmyard surrounded by a series of outbuildings: milk house, pump room, dairy barn (no longer extant 7/2008) and chicken coop. The clapboard Italianate Farmhouse sits on a brick and stone foundation and is topped with a glass enclosed monitor or "widows -walk" bracketed eaves and a veranda with ginger breading. Daniel Ward of the Ward Family of Pioneers left for California in 1849 with the Argonauts of '49 to seek his fortune in the gold rush. He returned in 1851 with a small fortune, purchased the farm with his father, then married Martha E. Martin in 1852, built their home in 1865 and resided there until 1891. The house and its outbuildings and 7.94 acres of land were designated as St. Joseph County Local Landmarks in 1980 and the house was listed on the Indiana State Register of Historic Sites and structures in 1988.
