MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OF SOUTH BEND & ST. JOSEPH COUNTY January 26, 2009 13`h Floor Conference Room County City Building South Bend, IN 46601 President Klusczinski call the meeting to order at 7:00 Members Present: Timothy S. Klusczinski, David Sassano, Mary Jane Chase, Jerry Niezgodski Staff Present: Larry Meteiver, Attorney; Catherine Hostetler, Director; Amy Minnick, Assistant Director Members Absent: Todd Zeiger, Lynn Patrick and Linda Riley PUBLIC HEARING COA#2008-1030. The homeowner Laura Mallozzi presented a sample of the vinyl simulated wood shake siding now being proposed for the encapsulation of her house for lead abatement. This product resembles the original siding application on her home. She also requested bids from six painters for the painting of the exterior of her home. She received only one response from Leo Burke of Burke's Painting and Power Washing with a price of $5,800.00 for scraping and the spraying of one coat of paint. Ms. Mallozzi submitted a letter from Charles Mc Mannis, South Bend Housing Authority Director of the Lead Grant, that stated that the HUD lead grant program does not include payment painting the exterior of the homes, only vinyl siding. The garage is being considered but Ms. Mallozzi did not specifically ask for it in the lead grant but she thought that it would be scraped and painted. Since the petitioner did not have a clear idea concerning the installation and application process of the siding and the type of windows that were being proposed for replacement President Klusczinski requested a motion to continue the COA #2008-1030 until the February 23 meeting. On a motion by Mary Jane Chase with a second by Jerry Niezgodski the Commissioners voted unanimously to Continue COA#2008-1030 until February 23, 2009. Staff was instructed to follow up.with Charles Mc Mannis with a list of the Commissioners questions and concerns.
