Deputy City Attorney Georgia Luks was also present. MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING APPROVED Mr. Brunner reported that the minutes of the June 28, 1976 meeting of the Board had been reviewed and he made a motion that they be approved as submitted. The motion was seconded by Mr. Farrand and carried. REQUEST FOR HOUSE MOVE TABLED The Board received a request from Thomas George Podell to allow a house to be moved from 2419 E. Jefferson Blvd. to 1608 Devon Circle. The mover is Lykowski Construction Company and Forrest R. West, Building Commissioner, informed the Board by memorandum that the adjacent property owners have been notified of the proposed house move. A copy of the application for a Building Permit and copies of the notices to property owners were submitted to the Board. Mr. Podell and Mr. Lykowski were present. Mr. & Mrs. T. Brooks Brademas, 1614 Devon Circle, were present. Mr. Brademas advised the Board that he owns the property immediately adjacent to the lot where this house would be moved. Mr. Brademas said the notices to the property owners have -not allowed them sufficient time to determine the impact of this house move on"the other properties in the area. Mr. Brademas said the notice to him was hand -delivered late Wednesday and he did not see it until Thursday. He called Mr. West to ask for an appoint- ment on Friday to discuss the matter.and was told there would be no one in the office on Friday. Mr. Brademas said he asked about an appointment on Saturday or Monday and was told there would be no one in the office on Saturday or Monday. Mr. Brademas said he would suggest that the property owners be given a minimum thirty -day delay so that they can determine the impact of moving the structure into their neighborhood. Mr. Brademas then read the following letter into the record: "Gentlemen: I would like to voice an opinion concerning the moving of a home to 1608 Devon Circle in the City of South Bend. The notification of this proposed move did not provide sufficient time for the neighboring people to investigate the site plan or condition of the house to be moved. Until some more extensive research can be done, I, the property owner in that vicinity, would prefer to see the moving of that house delayed. I am out of town this week and have asked by friend and neighbor, Mr. Brademas, to convey this letter to you. Sincerely, s/ T. R. Cassady UU Mr. Brademas then asked if anyone representing the City has made an inspection of the structure. Mr. Farrand said the Building Department has looked at the house. Mr. Brademas said he was in the house and it is in sub -standard condition and has previously been infested with termites. Mr. Brademas submitted to the Board a bag of material taken from the house. lie then submitted pictures of the house to the Board which he said demonstrate the termite damage and the deteriorated condition of the house. Mr. Brademas asked that these exhibits be returned to him if the Board takes action on this matter, as he is reserving the right to appeal the decision of the Board, if necessary. E REGULAR MEETING JULY 6, 1976 e-1 1 Mr. Thomas George Podell, 54542 Ivy Road, informed the Board that he was the owner of the house to be moved. He said the house was built in 1922 and, at that time, termite shields were not installed. He said any house built at that time would probably show termite damage. Mr. Podell said the house would be completely renovated. He displayed pictures of the houses on Devon Circle and the house he plans to move there and said this house will fit in with the architectural style of the houses in the area. Mr. Podell said the City requires five days notice to the property owners regarding a house move and said that is what was given in this case. Mr. Podell then provided the Board with copies of the following letters from Osteopathic Hospital:, ja June 25, 1976 Messrs. Podell and Lykowski: We write you as attorneys for The South Bend Osteopathic Hospital, Inc._ You are, of course, aware that the house and garage purchased by Mr. Podell from the hospital are still on hospital property. Kindly recall your receiving a letter dated June 3, 1976 of Hospital Building & Equipment Company, and as a consequence of that letter, we met on June 7, 1976. At that time, you indicated the house would be removed no later than June 16, 1976. Please understand that your continued delay has resulted in extra construction costs at the property. This is not acceptable and is incurring additional damage and expense, as the hospital is being advised by the general contractor, H.B.E. In particular, it is understood that steel is expected on the property at any time and will be fully delivered by July 2; wherein the house and garage will create a very major problem for the storing of steel, and access in and about the premises. Therefore, you are both now advised that the house and garage must be removed from the premises immediately, so that any continuing expense or increased expense is not incurred. Further understand that if the house is not removed, it will be raised at your expense. This action is necessary to mitigate damages and expenses which are accruing, as a result of the house and garage being on the premises. This action was suggested at our meeting on June 7, 1976 and is allowable in our agreement with Mr. Podell, if the house is not moved by May 10, 1976. Please further understand you will be held responsible for all damage and extra expense incurred to date, as a result of the house remaining on the premises, even though it be moved by you pursuant to this letter. A statement of those damages and expenses will be submitted when finalized. Yours very truly, s/ Willian 11. Farabaugh Chapleau, Roper, Mclnerny, Minczeski & Farabaugh it REGULAR MEETING JULY 6, 1976 "Dear Messrs. Podell and by owski.:. July 1, 1976 Please be advised that the hospital has just learned from Marshall Erdman & Associates that they intend pouring concrete in the area where the house is presently located this Tuesday, July 6, 1976, and that the house presently lies over a part of the area involved. This is in addition to the problems we discussed in our letter of June 25, 1976. Yesterday, Mr. Podell advised rile that you just now are, procuring the necessary permit from the City of South Bend to move the house to the property on Devon Circle, and that hearing will be held this Tuesday, July 6, 1976. As there is always a possibility this permit will not be given it is our suggestion that you have an alternate plan available' to have that house moved Tuesday morning,•or have it raised at your expense. If the house is not moved to the far corner of the property at the street line, within the next day, and is finally removed from the property next Tuesday, our client reserves the right to exercise its right to have the house raised at your expense. Please further understand that you will be held responsible for all damage and extra expense incurred to date, as a result of the house remaining on the premises, even though you conform to this letter. Yours very truly, s/ William N. Farabaugh Chapleau, Roper, Mclnerny,. Ifinczeski & Farabaugh " Mr. Podell said he has secured a loan from a bank to fix the house. Mr. Farrand asked Mr. Podell how he intends to renovate the house. Mr. Podell said he would subcontract the interior work but would do some of the exterior work himself, as he is a -bricklayer. Mr. Podell said some of the neighbors on Devon Circle who received the letter said they have no objection to the house being moved there. He said he is purchasing the lot from William Voor, who is an adjacent property owner. Dr. Thomas Pilot advised the Board that when he received the letter he did tell Mr. Podell that he had no objection to the move. However, he said he has now seen the property and said, although he is inexperienced in such matters, he was shocked at the appearance of the house. He said it is a shambles. He said he now withdraws his statement to Mr. Podell that he had no objection to the move. Dr. Pilot said in the interests of fairness to the property owners, five days notice is not sufficient time to determine the facts in the case. He noted that Forrest Lest was not available on Friday, Saturday or Monday to discuss this matter with property owners and said they should be allowed additional time before action is taken. Dr. Pilot said they have Mr. Podell's assurance that he will make repairs, but he said it will cost a large sum of money. He asked that an extension of time be given. Mr. Farrand noted that one of the things that will occur if an extension is given is that the question will become moot, because there will be no house to -move. Dr. Martin Feferman said there is no question that this will decrease the value of other properties on Devon Circle if the house is moved in. He said it will cost Mr. Podell a great deal of money to repair the house. He asked what guarantees the property owners have that he will live up to his commitment. He said there ought to be some safeguards to protect the adjacent property owners, so that the house will not become a menace and a hazard after it is moved. He said REGULAR MEETING JULY 6, 1976 the property owners are trying. to,protect,their neighborhood and the City should provide some kind of safeguards. Mr. Farrand said it is apparent that the real objection is the condition of the house. He said if the house was in: excellent condition the property owners would not object to the move. Dr. Pilot said it is the condition of the house that the property owners are protesting. Mr. Podell said the house is structurally sound and the termite damage is minor., He said the bank is willing to loan him the money to repair the house and they would not be willing to lend that amount of money and see it go down the drain. Mr. Mullen asked Mr. Podell the amount of the loan and Mr. Podell said it was $60,000. Mr. Podell said he is purchasing the lot from Mr. Voor. He was'asked if he owns the lot now and he said as soon as he receives approval for the move he will pay for the lot. He was asked if the purchase of the lot was contingent upon approval of the house move and he said all arangements for the purchase -of the lot have been completed and he would have paid for the lot this morning if Mr. Voor had been in his office. Dr. Pilot said Mr. Podell is under pressure because of the deadline from Osteopathic Hospital but said he did not feel the property owners should be penalized for that. Tim Lykowski, the house mover, said no one should judge the house until it has been repaired. He said Mr. Podell has the money to renovate the house and put it back into condition. He said he has moved many houses like this and when they are in positionand repaired they are a credit to the neighborhood. Mr. Brademas said when you consider the cost of moving the house and the cost of purchasing the lot most of the bank loan may have been used up and there will be nothing left to renovate the property. He said he has had considerable experience in this field and the cost of renovating the house, even if there were no termite damage, would be considerably more than Mr. Podell has available for the moving,.the lot and the renovation. Mr. Brademas said he would estimate it would cost a -minimum of $25,000 to bring the house into shape. He said there is also the possibility of damage to other structures on Devon Circle if the house is moved in because there is not a great deal of space to maneuver. Mr. Brademas said if the Board feels this house should be saved, they should give permission to move it temporarily into the closest City park and give the property owners an opportunity to have experts go over the house to determine whether or not it is infested with termites and how it should be effectively treated. Dr. Feferman said the Board should consider the effect this house move will have on adjacent property values., Mr. Farrand asked Mr. Podell if he had made any effort to solve the termite problem. Mr. Podell said no termites have been seen in the house. He said when the house is renovated, new plates and floor joists will be installed, as well as termite shields. Mrs. Lenore Cassady asked why Mr. Podell waited until the last minute to make these arrangements, if he received letters from Osteopathic Hospital on June 25 and July 1. Mr. Podell said arrangements had to be made with the utility companies and the application for a Building Permit had to be filed with the Building Department before a hearing at a Board of Public Works meeting could be set and the property owners notified. Dr. Pilot said if it were not for the fact that this is a holiday week, the hearing room would be full of irate citizens from Jefferson Street and Wayne Street. Mr. Podell said the house is considered a historic landmark and, when it is moved and repaired, he plans to ask that it be given historic landmark status. Mr. Brunner said, in view of the fact that a partner from his law firm is representing Osteopathic Hospital in this matter', he would not take part in the Board's consideration on the matter. However, he said he would urge the Board to act on the matter because the problem has been escalated by the fact that there is so little time. Mr. Brademas said he has had occasion to deal with the City of South Bend many times in his work and said it has always been required that site plans, estimates and completion schedules be filed with the City and that it usually takes about ninety days to get clearance on a.projec`t. He said he does not understand why the City does not require a site plan, specifications and a cost estimate for a house move. Mr. Brademas said the work should also be monitored every step of the way. REGULAR MEETING JULY 6, 1976 Mr. Brademas suggested that the members of the Board inspect this house or have an�inspection made by some City staff member with technical experience in this field. Mr. Brademas said he is required to provide letters of credit to show that he has the finances to complete a project. He said he would ask the Board to require some kind of indication from Mr. Podell that he can complete this renovation project. Mr. Podell said Mr. Brademas was referring to large projects which require the posting of bonds and other matters that require long periods of time. He said this is a home and to secure a building permit does not require ninety days. Mr. Mullen asked Mr. Podell the cost of moving the house. Mr. Podell said the moving would cost $18,500, plus $2,800 for the Electric Company. Mr. Farrand asked if the foundation has been prepared. Mr. Podell said this has to be done after the house is on the site. Mr. Mullen asked Mr. Podell how much it would take to renovate the house and Mr. Podell said $15,000. Mr. Farrand said he did not think the Board was in a position to approve the house move today. He said Mr. Podell would have to solve the immediate problem of keeping the house from being demolished today. Mr. Farrand said there are two things the Board is interested in. One is an estimate on the cost of the renovation to be used as a guideline and the other is a time limit on the length of time to be allowed for the renovation. He said the Board could require the posting of a bond so that they know the renovation will be completed. Mr. Farrand said he hoped the property owners would consider this fair. He said a qualified representative of the City would make an estimate of repairs and a bond would be required to cover the cost of renovations. The Board would have the power to invoke the bond to have the renovation completed if Mr. Podell failed to do it. Mrs. Cassady asked if this house move meets all City requirements. Mr. Farrand said the move meets the deed restrictions which are more severe than the zoning restrictions. Mr. Podell said he would post a bond if the Board required it. Mr. Brademas asked if the property owners would have an opportunity to review the estimate of renovation cost and the bond requirements, with some guarantee that the estimates are made by someone who is competent. Mr. Farrand said it is the Board's prerogative to determine that someone who is qualified makes the estimate. Mr. Brademas asked if this hearing would be continued at some later date. Mr. Farrand said the hearing has been conducted and the conditions set forth will have to be met by Mr. Podell. He said the Board feels. they have overcome the objections of the property owners. Mr. Farrand said Mr. Brademas has the right to take issue with the Board, but he said the Board is taking steps to see that the house will be restored to its original condition. The house is structurally sound and will not be a detriment to the neighborhood.' Mr. Brademas asked if this meant that the property owners would not have an opportunity to review the estimate andthe bond. Mr. Farrand said the estimate of repairs would be submitted to the Board and they would determine the bond required for the renovations. Mr. Podell asked if any property owner present wished to suggest a contractor to make the repair estimate. He said if no one had 'a suggestion, he would call Allied Construction Company, since he is familiar with that company. Mr. Brademas said, unless a contractor is given an idea of the exact specifications for the renovation, it would be difficult for him to come up with anything but his own idea of an estimate. Mr. Farrand made a motion that the house be inspected by a City staff member and an estimate of the cost of repairs be made, with a bond to cover completion of those repairs to be posted with the Board and that the request for the house move be tabled until this information has been received. Mr. Mullen seconded the motion. Mr. Brademas asked if the property owners would be notified before the Board took final action on the matter. Mr. Farrand said if Mr. Podell can meet the conditions the Board has specified, the judgment will be on the shoulders of the Board and they will handle the matter with Mr. Podell. Mr. Brademas said, with all due respect, he would report now that if the property owners are not given an opportunity to be heard again, they will seek to get a temporary restraining order in the courts so that they may be heard again. The question was called and the motion carried, with Mr. Brunner abstaining.
