HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OF SOUTH BEND AND ST. JOSEPH COUNTY <br />Phone: 574/235.9371 Fax: 574/235.9021 Email: hpcsbsjc@southbendin.gov <br /> <br /> <br />• New Construction — pages 33-35 <br />SITE VISIT REPORT: <br />N/A <br /> <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: <br />The Standards and Guidelines generally discourage the installation of vinyl materials. The window to be re- <br />placed is on a later addition built in 1987 at the rear of the structure and is not visible from the street. <br />The Standards and Guidelines state that “materials used on an addition to an existing structure shall relate to <br />the existing or original materials of that structure” and that “metal or vinyl siding may be used when it is the <br />only feasible alternative. The siding should be compatible with the original size and style and the with materi- <br />als of other buildings in the district.” The proposed vinyl shake siding will replace the existing aluminum lap <br />siding. The entirety of the 1987 will be clad in this vinyl shake siding. The front façade dormers will still be <br />clad in lap siding. <br />The Standards and Guidelines allow for repair/replacement of soffits and fascias with like material. <br />Staff makes a favorable recommendation. <br /> <br />Prepared by Adam Toering, Historic Preservation Administrator <br />
