Many properties have privacy fences of various materials (including chain link) enclosing <br />rear yards. For example, 1402 East Wayne Street has a 4' chain link fence visible from the street enclosing the rear yard: it is <br />unknown if this predates the establishment of the Local Historic District. <br />Three properties fail W comply with the Standards and Guidelines requirement that fencing not be forward of the building <br />setback: 1246 East Jefferson (chain link fence obscured by hedge along Sunnyside Avenue), 1102 East Wayne Street ('historic' <br />wrought iron fence atop a masonry embankment wall) and 304 Twyckenham Drive (two mit 4' 'estate fence'). <br />STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: EAST WAYNE STREET <br />LTHE ENVIRONMENT <br />A.THE DISTRICT ENVIRONMENT—The district is characterized by its proximity to downtown South Bend. It <br />encompasses several blocks of East Wayne Street, North and South, from Eddy Street east to Greenlawn and the south side of <br />Jefferson Boulevard from Eddy Street east to Sunnyside Avenue. The district is bounded on the north by Jefferson Boulevard <br />from Eddy Street to Sunnyside Avenue and then by the north property lines by the Wayne Street properties to Greenlawn. The <br />south boundary is the southern right of way of the alley or the southern property lines of East Wayne Street, South. <br />Unique features of the neighborhood include the island of homes between East Wayne Street North and East Wayne Street <br />South, the parks at each end of the island, and the brick pillars at the entrance way (Eddy Street) to the subdivision with signage <br />reading "Whitecomb and Keller's Sunnymede." <br />Required <br />Distinctive existing features such as brick entry pillars, parks, gardens, streetlights-, fences, signs, walkways, streets and <br />building setbacks shall be retained. Major landscaping items, fencing, walkways, streetlights, signs and benches shall be <br />compatible with the character of the neighborhood in size, scale, material, and color. Street lighting should b e maintained at <br />levels recommended by the Illuminating Engineering Society. Light sources must have spectral distribution in all color <br />ranges. Older light fixtures and supporting posts must be similar in proportion, scale, size, shape, style, and appearance to the <br />existing historic lamps. Streetlights shall be placed so that adequate illumination is afforded all sections of public sidewalks. <br />Recommended <br />Whenever possible, the original features should be restored. Plant materials and trees in close proximity to buildings, sidewalks <br />or streets that are causing deterioration to those elements should be removed. If large shrubs become unsightly to the point of <br />detracting from the historic character of the house or site, they should be cut back and allowed to rejuvenate. Dead and <br />deceased material should be selectively removed. Trees and major landscaping elements that must be removed for one mason or <br />another should be immediately replaced by suitable flare. When replacement of utility poles or power supply lines is necessary, <br />consideration should be given to underground conduits or utility poles erected along rear property lines. <br />The curb height should be sufficient to maintain adequate drainage of the street. If the older light fixtures are taken down by <br />the city, they should be reserved for use in the historic district. Light fixtures on top of the brick pillars at the Eddy Street <br />entryway should be replaced according to these standards <br />Prohibited <br />Existing relationships of buildings and their environments shall not be destroyed through widening existing streets, application <br />
