HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION PRESERVATION SPECIALIST REPORT March 18, 2013 Happy March! I hope everyone had a great St. Patrick's Day. The largest focus of this last month was completing the City Landmark Surveys and getting them organized to mail out. Yes, they are printed and all the mailing information updated. Unfortunately, No they have not hit the mailbox yet, but hopefully they will be this week. We have also spent a great deal of time working on the 106 reviews as both rehabilitation and demolition approvals have required photographs to be taken and documented (36 in the past 30 days). There are an alarming number of structures that are also listed as contributing or significant in the structural survey. We actually had a meeting today with code and members of the vacant and abandoned housing task force. We can only hope that greater communication and cooperation may exist between ourselves and the rest of the city. On a happier note, we now have the flyers for the Restore Michiana Workshops! To date we have 12 locations that have already posted those not including our partners or sponsors. The response so far has been promising despite the HPC being left out of press releases and other communication by Indiana Landmarks. Reservations may be made at Eventbright. Properties turned into code since last meeting: 607 Leland 611 Leland 706 Rex 750 Portage 735 LWE 2644 Western 211 N Walnut Please remember that our first workshop will be Saturday April 6t' on Landscaping!
