Klusczinski, President Tim Sikos 50601 Bittersweet Trail Granger, IN 46530 4 February 2015 Dear Mr. Sikos, A Certified Local Government Catherine D. Hostetler, Director It was a pleasure to meet with you on December 16, 2014 at your historic home in Granger. Thank you again for the hospi- tality and the tour. It is easy to see how much appreciation you have for the house and how much time and energy you have put into it. We had discussed the condition of the original barn and your intentions to be able to someday construct a new structure with some of the reclaimed material. I just wanted to say how glad I was to hear that. We still have to address the fact that the barn was brought down without an approved Certificate of Appropriateness appli- cation. We really need that to go in front of the Commission. The fact that the barn has already been brought down, (necessary or not) stili leaves us without the proper procedures and documentation. Although you have convinced me with your descriptions and the site photographs I personally took, you will still need to apply for the application and have it reviewed. The application is a sim- ple one and needs to be sent with the $20 application fee. I will attach a hard copy with this letter. Additional copies may be down- loaded and printed from the Saint Joseph County Website/ departments/ historic preservation and then COA Application. In order to get this unto the agenda for the meeting, we need to receive the application by the first Monday of each month. The meeting for the month then takes place on the third Monday at 7:30 at the County -City Building, 227 W Jefferson, South Bend, IN. I know this seems rather trivial considering the barn is down, but in order to complete the procedure and to make our com- mission aware of your intentions, this needs to happen. Thant: you for your time and understanding, Steve Szaday Preservation Specialist Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend & St Joseph County (574) 235-9798 office COMMISSIONERS Thomas Gordon (Vice President) Alike Voll (Treasurer) (Architectural historian) Elizabeth Hertel (Secretary) Kevin Buccellato Brandon Anderson STAFF Elicia D.
