APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS – 933 RIVERSIDE DRIVE – SEPTEMBER 2023 <br /> <br />We are submitting one project for your review for appropriateness on the home we recently purchased <br />at 933 Riverside Drive in South Bend, which is within the Riverside Drive / Chapin Park Historic Districts. <br />The following is a detailed description of this project. <br />Submitted by: Ravi Shankar and Christina Peters – co-owners of this house. <br /> <br />Enclosure of a back-facing porch to convert into a mudroom. We do not plan to change the dimensions <br />of this existing structure; only enclose it. This back porch is not visible from the street; it is only visible <br />from within the fenced-in backyard. Prior to 2018, this was an enclosed porch. The project will consist of <br />adding some wall with wood siding along with windows and a door in the areas that are currently open. <br />New tile flooring will also be added inside this room for mudroom functionality, and plumbing and <br />heating will also be added. We are still in the process of selecting a contractor to perform this work, but <br />generally plan to hire a local South Bend-based contractor. <br /> <br /> <br />View of back of house showing back porch to be enclosed for mudroom use <br /> <br />The windows we plan to use are JELD-WEN Clad Wood Double Hung windows (JELD-WEN model W- <br />2500). These windows are made of pine wood, are clad in aluminum, and feature a colonial grid design <br />which matches the other windows on this house. Please see other attachments for a brochure and <br />specifications document. Note that we are open to choosing different windows if this choice is deemed <br />to be unsuitable by the Commission.
