PUBLIC HEARING A. CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS 1. 406 Manitou COA #2016 -0308 Chapin Park No Representation. STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: 11 March 2016 . Application Number: 2016 -0308 Property Location: 406 Manitou Place Architectural Style/Date /Architect or Builder: Gabeled- ell/1889 Property Owner: Kevin and Miyuki Hughes Landmark or District Designation: Chapin Park Local and National Historic District Rating: Outstanding DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE /SITE: The 1 '/s story frame house with limestone facing has an irregular plan set upon a brick foundation. Roof is a cross gable with moulded cornice at the rake and architectural asphalt shingles. The porch has a gabled entrance vestibule. The windows are 1/1 wood double hung with iron railing on the second floor front and side windows. Some of the windows have aluminum storms while others appear to have original wood storms. ALTERATIONS: Limestone was installed over the wood siding in 1943. The front porch was modified in the 1940s from a full width to its current configuration with a stone wall and patio to the side of the gabled vestibule entrance. Art -lock asphalt shingled roof was replaced with COA #2010 -0928 with architectural asphalt shingles. The aluminum storm windows and doors are not original to the house. APPLICATION ITEMS: We would like to demolish the garage at 406 Manitou Place in South Bend. It has deteriorated severely. It will be replaced temporarily by an extension of a 3' chain link fence currently in place. This summer I will submit plans to HPC to reconstruct the garage. Construction to be completed in 2016. We will do our best to construct a garage construct with our existing property profile. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: This five stall garage is a result of two buildings attached together and is very poor condition, see Preservation Specialist report. Jerry Reed's Excavating will demolish the structure and haul all debris away. The contractor will attempt to salvage the stone fagade material but it may not be possible because of existing damage. An existing chain link fence will be expanded to enclose the property. Owner intends to apply for a COA at a later date to rebuild the garage. PRESERVATION SPECIALIST REPORT: I spoke with Kevin Hughes during the second week in February when he called the office to inquire about demolishing and rebuilding his garage at 406 Manitou. He informed me that he works out of town but his daughter is in town. It is his intention to demolish the current structure by April then present a new design to the HPC when his architect friend had the plans complete. He was not opposed to trying to reuse the stone veneer from the present structure on the new garage if it is salvageable. His daughter brought in a completed COA application with the fee to the HPC office March 8, 2016. At approximately 1:30pm I met with the owners' daughter Eleanor Hughes at the property and photographed the structure on the exterior and as much as I could for the interior that I could get into.
