29 August Worked on year end location report items for transfers. Interest in the <br />adaptive re -use of the Avon by Frank Niemiec (Ray Shepardson) and Garth Mason. Frank <br />actually met with Don Napoli. Greg Schoof on Leland and Portage inquired about a <br />garage and building codes. Troy (associated with Steve Mihaljevic, Mag Mile, LLC) called <br />about an adaptive re -use of Marquette as a multi resource/use Community Center; setting <br />up a NPO to obtain funding. Suggested he "pitch his plan" to the Mayor that evening. He <br />also mentioned that SBCSC is looking into litigation to "de -list" Marquette as a landmark. <br />A Board member that I contacted wasn't aware of this. <br />30 August HPC Special Gifts location report meeting was moved to next Thursday. <br />South Bend Tribune called about Avon and spoke with Elicia; SBT expressed surprise that <br />people were interested in adaptive re -use. Met with Mik Perry about his proposed adaptive <br />re -use of the Avon as the Avon ArtHaus geared to the 18-20 year old set. Meeting lasted 2 <br />hours. <br />31 August Most of the day was devoted to the Avon and keeping interested parties <br />apprised of the developments there. Received the COA application for demolition of the <br />Avon. Contacted all interested parties on that action. Spoke with Tim and Larry about the <br />17 September meeting. If Frost Engineering does not return our phone calls then a letter <br />needs to be sent. <br />3 September LABOR DAY HOLIDAY <br />4 September Spoke with homeowner Larry Verash who received a letter from John <br />Oxian to landmark his home on 60900 Dogwood Road. The letter was sent a long time <br />ago and the house is now only rated Contributing. It had a fire, the roof was replaced and <br />now it is experiencing foundation issues. Sent him a copy of the Contractor listing and gave <br />him names and numbers of departments that might be able to help him. Sent the letter to <br />Frost Engineering requesting information concerning removal of terra cotta. Received a <br />letter from Lee Insurance requesting the HPC allow the demolition of the Avon building. <br />Faxed letter and article over to Larry Meteiver. Attended a 4:30 meeting with Elicia of the <br />East Bank Village merchants concerning the parking across the street for St. Joe grade <br />school and the merchants wishing to place buildings on that spot for retail. <br />5 September Staff Reports for the monthly meeting. Discussion with Don Inks <br />concerning the Avon and the Library's plans and his concerns for the Dean Building and <br />the Church. It was his opinion that none of the Library plans are firm and the <br />Redevelopment Commission owns the lot between the Avon and the Friends of the <br />Library Building. Office Conference Room was the site of the 5:30 meeting of the <br />Botanical Society's Events Committee that also included Sue Solmos and Liz Maradik to <br />plan for the fund raising gala on 27 October. <br />6 September Meeting with Kathy Sobecki concerning the Special Gifts Account Balances. <br />Concluded work on Staff Reports.
