South Bend and St. Joseph Country <br />HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION <br />Room 1123, County-City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />(219)235-9798 <br />Fax (219)235-9598 <br />John Oxian, President <br />Ms. Loretta Duda, Clerk of the City of South <br />4th Floor County-City Building <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />March 18, 1998 <br />Dear Loretta, <br />David Duvall, Director <br />Filed ire C~~~t~'~ O~~~C~ <br />LORE'fTAJ. DUDA <br />CRYCLER~~ CO. BEHD~ Ica. <br />Please find attached two amendments to the Municipal Code establishing new <br />Local Historic Preservation Districts. <br />The first amendment designates the North St. Joseph Street Historic District <br />adjacent to the previously established River Bend Historic District. This <br />designation is being initiated by the Near Northwest Neighborhood Inc. which <br />is presently a major property owner in the proposed district. Their <br />application for designation is attached. <br />The second amendment designates the Taylor's Field Historic District which was <br />recommended in the South Bend Summary Report of the Indiana Historic Sites and <br />Structures Inventory (1993) under the name of South St. Joseph Street Historic <br />District. This designation has been recommended by the Historic Districts <br />Committee of the Historic Preservation Commission. The new name has been <br />assumed to provide more descriptive historical context for this district and <br />to better distinguish between the two proposed districts. I have made <br />preliminary presentation of this designation to the Zoning & Annexation <br />Committee of the Common Council. <br />Neither of these ordinances has received Public Hearing or recommendation from <br />the Historic Preservation Commission at this time. However, in the interest of <br />speedy consideration of these proposals, we wish to initiate the ordinances <br />for referral to our commission. The commission will in the meantime be <br />developing the guidelines to be applied in the regulation of the districts. <br />Please call me or our director, David Duvall, if you have questions regarding <br />either proposal. <br />Yours truly, <br /> o~.~ <br />John Oxian - President, HPC <br />cc: David B.
