10 February Elicia and I met with Shane Fimbel and Kevin Smith of Global Access and Union Station about their vision and future plans centering around Union Station. E- mailed Bob Yapp for leads on Brick Street experts. Finished looking up the homeowners for West LaSalle. Drafted a letter for sending to the homeowners. Requested that Steve Szaday follow up on a report of a hole in the roof at 417 E. Navarre in Chapin Park. The roof isn't the problem and Steve sent over pictures to Code showing broken windows in the rear and tarps on the rear fagade. 13 February Responded to Linda Martin on the Board of Public Works request for HPC to give opinion on the awnings and canopy on the All American Trust Building. Brad Toothaker is requesting height variances for the awnings and the canopies. This is a National Register Property, so our permission or approval isn't even necessary. However, I responded: The entrance canopies look appropriate to the building and its use as a restaurant. I think that the window awnings detract from the windows and the neo classical style of the building. But if the owners feel that these are their only practical option, it won't be the end of the world since they can be safely removed since they will be installed in the mortar joints. I attended and participated the Finance Committee meeting of the Northern Indiana Center for History, went over December and January numbers, 2012budget and upcoming audit. Proof read HPC Newsletter. Acted upon a letter from Thomas Keller, President of the East Wayne Street Neighborhood Association requesting action on the mismatched entry gate light. Marcia Qualls, Engineering and I worked out that HPC will order the lantern, take delivery of the lantern, EWSNS will be billed for the cost and Engineering will see that it is installed. Met with Linda Riley again on this issue. Followed up with IVYTech student on marketing internship. 14 February Spoke with Royce Baier of Royce Restorations about the East Washington Brick Street project that Patrick Henthorn approached me on last week. Explained the project to Royce and he did seem to have an interest and followed up with Patrick and gave him Royce's contact information. Followed up in e-mail with Rob Nichols on the Leeper Bridge in-kind COA repairs since HPC hadn't heard from INDOT. Travis Mast of MOT then contacted me for that information. Followed up in e-mail with Shane Fimbel about using Union Station for the Pride of Place/ Southhold Awards on May 4. Responded to Linda Riley on the replacement lantern, reiterated procedure and said that we would verify all specs with Steve Szaday and place the order and have it billed to her address as treasurer. Prepared Staff Report for 803 W. Washington. It's a fagade easement and the work requires a COA. Spoke with Joan Downs Krostenko concerning 739 Leland, Ramiro and Amporo Acuna—all work performed without COA or building permits ---removed front windows, reduced openings installed vinyl, removed chimney top above roofline and replaced with pipe. Also behind on property taxes. 801 Forest has a COA and building permit for in-kind replacement of porch and deck above entry. They have installed vinyl instead. Also the windows may have been changed to vinyl. 4
