Public comment: Joan Huff, 18592 Garwood Court, South Bend - She and her husband landmarked the property, with their many priority being protection of the barn, and she is outraged that the barn was. allowed to be taken down. Tim Huff, 10187 Jackson — Questioned who is responsible for the barn coming down, where was the Historic Preservation Commission during the process, and how the current owner purchased the property without knowledge of its landmark status. It seems that there should be some notification process when historic property changes ownership. Joan Cappuccilli, 26464 North Bittersweet Trail, Mundelein, IL — Has developed a subdivision in Illinois with covenants that are attached to the title when property is purchased; it would seem that a similar thing could be done with historic landmarked properties in this area. She implored the Commission to set the property back on its historic path. Thomas Huff, 65961 Walnut Road, North Liberty — Opposes this COA, and believes the Commission has the authority to require unapproved changes to be removed and property restored to the condition it was in when originally landmarked. Christopher Huff, 1831 College Street, South Bend — Opposes this and all COAs until this property has a plan to bring it in conformity with the property as it was when originally landmarked. Commissioner Molnar moved to approve application as submitted. Seconded by Commissioner Gordon. Six in favor, none opposed. Vote: 6 — 0 COA#2017-0501B Approved. 5. 1417 East Wayne COA#2017-0501C East Wayne Street Representation by Josh Mougin, Mougin Roofing, 9325N 850E, New Carlisle STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: May 1, 2017 Application Number: 2017-0501C Property Location: 1417 Wayne Street Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Tudor Revival/ I 929/Knute Rockne House/H.Russell Stapp, architect Property Owner: Joseph and Morgan Candle Landmark or District Designation: East Wayne Street Local Historic District Rating: Outstanding DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: The Tudor Revival house is a 2 -story frame on an irregular plan. It has a gable roof with several cross gables, half-timber rake trim is covered in asbestos tile shingles. The body of the house is mainly brick with a half timbering and stucco in the front gable that also has a square bay and stucco in the entry gable that has a round arched entry door with diamond pane glass and brick tabbing at the door surround. There are original windows with paired 6 light casement windows with four light fixed transoms on the first floor. There are wood replacement casement windows on the second floor. Some of the windows have brick header course sills. ALTERATIONS: Portions of the roof were replaced in-kind in 1988. There are 11 wood replacement casements on the second floor approved in September 1994. The rear porch was enclosed. The tennis court is a later addition. COA 2008-1013 approved replacement wooden fence in rear of house. Replacement of single pane windows with glass block was approved with COA 2014-101413.

APPLICATION ITEMS: Removing/replacing roof, currently has asphalt/fiberglass/fiber composite shingles, want to replace with Certainteed Highland slate asphalt shingles, 2 low -sloped areas (not visible) currently have tin, want to replace with 0.060- 0.080 TPO membrane, copper drip edge, copper valleys. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Contractor proposes to remove existing slate -look shingles and replace with Certainteed Highland Slate designer shingles. This choice of material mimics the look of slate, although in a consistent pattern, unlike the current random -look shake roof. The contractor is unaware of any product currently on the market that would accurately replicate the existing roofing, and other synthetic slate options have proven too costly. 0.060-0.080 TPO membrane roof will be installed on flat roof areas to replace existing tin. Copper valleys and drip edge will be installed. 8
