Tudor Revival/1930/H.R. Stapp <br />Property Owner: Paul and Molly Buser <br />Landmark or District Designation: East Wayne Street <br />Rating: Notable <br />DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: A two storey frame house with an irregular plan. A steep gabled roof has flared eaves <br />and asphalt shingles. Fagade materials are brick, stucco, and half-timbering. Windows are 6 -light casements with fixed transom. <br />ALTERATIONS: Slate roof replaced with asphalt shingles (COA#1996-0703). <br />APPLICATION ITEMS: Remove and extend rear yard patio/garden area towards the north (per attached drawings). Add new <br />covered pergola structure linking house to garage, extend existing 6'-0" fence @ west property line. Add new 36"-48" tall fence <br />from west property line to screen porch. <br />DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT:, The rear yard patio/garden area is discreet from street view. The extension of the <br />existing fence, of the same style, will make the entire rear yard private. A new cedar pergola with raised seam metal roof will be <br />slightly visible from Sunnyside over an existing brick arch entry to the rear yard but is designed in character with the property, <br />incorporating architectural detail of the original structure. <br />STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: <br />I. THE ENVIRONMENT <br />A. THE DISTRICT ENVIRONMENT <br />The district is characterized by its proximity to downtown South Bend. It encompasses several blocks of East Wayne Street, <br />North and South, from Eddy Street east to Greenlawn and the south side of Jefferson Boulevard from Eddy Street east to <br />Sunnyside Avenue. The district is bounded on the north by Jefferson Boulevard from Eddy Street to Sunnyside Avenue and then <br />by the north property lines of the Wayne Street properties to Greenlawn. The south boundary is the southern right of way of the <br />alley or the southern property lines of East Wayne Street, South. Unique features of the neighborhood include the island of homes <br />between East Wayne Street North and East Wayne Street South, the parks at each end of the island, and the brick pillars at the <br />entrance way (Eddy Street) to the subdivision with signage reading "Whitcomb and Keller's Sunnymede." <br />
