Leeper Park_COA 2019-0402_PACKETSTAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: 2 April 2019 Application Number: 2019-0402 Property Location: Leeper Park Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Planned landscape/1897/City superintendent Herman Beyer; Landscape Architect George Kessler Property Owner: City of South Bend, Venues Parks & Arts Landmark or District Designation: Local Landscape Landmark, Ordinance #8734-96 and National Register of Historic Places, 6/15/2000 Rating: N/A DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: Leeper Park is the first planned public park in South Bend located north of downtown and the medical district. Leeper Park is oriented east/west at the St. Joseph River, divided into three sections, East, Central, and West, by Michigan Street and Lafayette Boulevard. The Eastern section was originally established for the Water Works with the first construction on site being a network of thirty, six-inch artesian wells.1 “The first land condemned for the future Leeper Park, in June of 1895, was meant to provide a second artesian well field and pumping facility for the lively industries and town population which was growing along the south bend of the St. Joseph River.”2 City superintendent Herman Beyer first influenced the design including curvilinear paths, plantings, and water features. The 1911-1915 Parks and Boulevard system and the Leeper Park Plan, designed by celebrated planner and landscape architect George Kessler, embodied early twentieth century ideals grounded in the City Beautiful movement, connecting parks and boulevards as planned elements of a coordinated city plan. Kessler’s Plan for Leeper Park included both formal and informal design elements, adopting existing park features of the Beyer era through a skillful remodel. The association of the park sections with different uses was a result of Kessler’s planning; the West section was deemed for active recreation, the Central section as passive recreation, and the Eastern Section was adopted for its function as a Water Works but also boasts a number of recreation-related features. While the Kessler Plan guided Leeper Park development for the next decade, documentary evidence appears that only some elements of the Kessler design were actually installed.3 Sensitive extensions of Kessler’s Plan continued into the 1920s and 1930s and included Works Progress Administration funded labor for several projects.4 Leeper Park East features include: the North Pumping Station, the water reservoir, multiple water well pumps, Ziegler Performing Center with fixed bench seating, signage for the former Garden of Fragrance, the Navarre Cabin, the foundation of the former Powell House, a non-functioning Comfort Station, a swing set/slide, the Sunken (Rose) Garden, the island, and the Works Progress Administration retaining wall and a bridge to the island. Leeper Park Central features include: West Lagoon (Duck Pond), concrete stairs on embankment, a well house, the Edward B. Reynolds fountain, Lavender Labyrinth, memorials including trees, stones, and plaques. Leeper Park West features include: backdrop of the former baseball diamond, tennis courts, a recreation building, a parking lot, an odor garden, and raised vegetable gardens with adjoining paths. 1 Leeper Park Cultural Landscape Report, prepared by Westerly Group for the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County, May 1998. 2 Ibid. 3 Ibid. 4 Malcolm Cairns, ASLA. “Leeper Park Historic District.” National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination Form, NR-1411.

Planting design STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: 9.0 LANDSCAPES – STANDARDS AND CRITERIA FOR LEEPER PARK 9.1 Introduction 1. In these guidelines the verb Should indicates a recommended course of action; the verb Shall indicates those actions which are specifically required to preserve and protect significant architectural elements. 2. The intent of these standards and criteria is to preserve the overall character and appearance of Leeper Park including its spatial organization, topography, vegetation, circulation and features. 3. The standards and criteria acknowledge that there will be changes to the landscape and are intended to make the change sensitive to the historic character of the landscape. 4. Each property will be separately studied to determine if a later addition(s) and/or alteration(s) can, or should, be removed. 5. Since it is not possible to provide one general guideline, the following factors that will be considered in determining whether a later addition(s) and/or alteration(s) can, or should, be removed include: a. Compatibility with the original property’s integrity in scale, materials, and character. b. Historic association with the property. c. Quality in design and execution of the addition/alteration. d. Functional usefulness. 6. Recreational facilities which exist should be allowed to remain as long as they serve substantial community functions. In some cases these features can be redesigned to be more compatible with the overall landscape. 7. Additions to existing recreational facilities shall not be allowed unless such additions make the facilities more compatible with the overall landscape. 8. The development of additional facilities for active recreation or single purpose uses for limited user groups shall not be allowed. 9. Proposals for special activities and events which cause significant impacts or require permanent or even semi-permanent (seasonal) structures or facilities shall not be permitted. 10.

Original or later contributing masonry materials, feature, details, surfaces and ornamentation shall be retained and, if necessary, repaired by patching, piecing-in, or consolidating the masonry using recognize preservation methods. 3. Deteriorated or missing masonry materials, features, details, surfaces and ornamentation shall be replaced with material and elements which match the original in material, color, texture, size, shape, profile and detail of installation. 4. When replacement of materials or elements is necessary, it should be based on physical or documentary evidence. 5. If using the same material is not technically or economically feasible, then compatible substitute materials may be considered. 6. Original mortar shall be retained. 7. Deteriorating mortar shall be carefully removed by hand-raking the joints. 8. Use of mechanical saws and hammers shall not be allowed. 9. Repointing mortar shall duplicate the original mortar in strength, composition, color, texture, joint size, joint profile and method of application. 10. Sample panels of raking the joints and repointing shall be reviewed and approved by the staff of the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County. 11. Cleaning of masonry is discouraged and should be performed only when necessary to halt determination. 12. If the building is to be cleaned, the mildest method possible shall be used. 13. A test patch of the cleaning method(s) shall be reviewed and approved on site by staff of the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County. Test patches should always be carried out well in advance of cleaning (including exposure to all seasons if possible.) 14. Sandblasting (wet or dry), wire brushing, or similar abrasive cleaning methods shall not be permitted. Doing so changes the visual quality of the material and accelerates deterioration. 15. Waterproofing or water repellant are strongly discouraged. These treatments are generally not effective in preserving masonry and can cause permanent damage. The Commission does recognize that in extraordinary circumstances their use may be required to solve a specific problem. Samples of any proposed treatment shall be reviewed by the Commission before application. 16. In general, painting masonry surfaces shall not be allowed. Painting masonry surfaces will be considered only when there is documentary evidence that this treatment was used at some point in the history of the property. C. Wood 1. [intentionally left blank] 2. Original or later contributing wood surfaces, features, details and ornamentation shall be retained and, if necessary, repaired by patching, piecing-in, consolidating or reinforcing the wood using recognized preservation methods. 3. Deteriorated or missing wood surfaces, features, details and ornamentation shall be replaced with material and elements which match the original in material, color, texture, size, shape, profile and detail of installation. 4. When replacement of materials or elements is necessary, it should be based on physical or documentary evidence. 5. If using the same materials or elements is necessary, it should be based on physical or documentary evidence. 6. Cleaning of wooden elements shall use the mildest method possible. 7. Paint removal should be considered only where there is a paint surface deterioration and as part of an overall maintenance appropriate protective coatings. Coatings such as paints help protect the wood from moisture and ultraviolet light and stripping the wood bare will expose the surface to the effects of weathering. 8. Damage or deteriorated paint should be removed to the next sound layer using the mildest method possible. 9. Propane or butane torches, sandblasting, water blasting, or other abrasive cleaning and/or paint removal methods shall not be permitted. Doing so changes the visual quality of the wood and accelerates deterioration. 10. Repainting should be based on paint serration studies. If an adequate record does not exist repainting shall be done with the colors that are appropriate to the style and period of the building. D. Architectural Metals (Cast Iron, Steel, Pressed Tin, Copper, Aluminum, and Zinc) 1. All metal materials, features, details and ornamentation of the buildings in the park shall be preserved. This also includes all metal parts of all fountains, monuments, memorials, plaques, street lights, drinking fountains, etc. 2. Original or later contributing metal materials, features, details, and ornamentation shall be retained and, if necessary repaired by patching, splicing or reinforcing the metal using recognized preservation methods. 3. Deteriorated or missing metal materials, features, details and ornamentation shall be replaced with material and elements which match the original in material, color, texture, size, shape, profile and detail of installation. 4. When replacement of materials or elements is necessary, it should be based on physical evidence or documentary evidence. 5. If using the same material is not technically or economically feasible then compatible substitute materials may be considered. 6. Cleaning of metal elements either to remove corrosion or deteriorated paint shall use the mildest method possible. 7. Abrasive cleaning methods, such as low pressure dry grit blasting, may be allowed as long as it does not abrade or damage the surface. 8. A test patch of the cleaning method(s) shall be reviewed and approved on site by staff of the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County. Test patches should always be carried out well in advance of cleaning (including exposure to all seasons if possible.) 9. Cleaning to remove corrosion and paint removal should be considered only where there is deterioration and as part of an overall maintenance program which involved repainting or applying other appropriate protective coatings. Paint or other coatings help retard the corrosion rate of the metal. Leaving the metal base will expose the surface to accelerated corrosion. 10. Repainting should be based on paint seriation studies. If an adequate record does not exist repainting shall be done with colors that are appropriate to the style a and period of the building.

Parks of this era frequently combined formal elements such as public gardens and promenades with more informal and pastoral spaces. From the 1998 Leeper Park National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) nomination, “. . . early 20th century parks were not static elements of the urban landscape; they were often overlays of sequential designs.” This concept is proven by the history of the Leeper Park and, looking forward, by the proposed improvements included in this application. The modern visioning process for Leeper Park began in 1996 with the extensive research published by J. Edward Talley, followed by the 1998 Cultural Landscape Report, the 1998 NRHP nomination, development of site specific preservation guidelines, and the 2017 riverfront and trail framework plan. The 2018 Leeper Park Concept Plan presented in this application incorporates concepts from the above documents and draws heavily from George Kessler’s 1915 plan, itself an overlay of the 1905 Beyer Plan, to create a public space that celebrates Leeper Park’s historic integrity and functions for contemporary needs. This application for a Certificate of Appropriateness is for the following project elements (see map on next page for the Phase 1 project area): 1.Lighting 2.Interpretive sign design (content to be prepared at a later date) 3.Furnishings and garden ornaments 4.Planting design These elements are discussed in detail on the following pages and are supported by a combination of plans, photographs, narrative and additional imagery. 2Historic Leeper Park Improvements - 2019 Leeper Park is bounded by the park’s property line on the west, the St. Joseph River on the north and east, and Park Avenue and Bartlett Street on the south. This application requests a Certificate of Appropriateness for the following Phase 1 elements: 1. Site Lighting The proposed site lighting matches existing lighting found in the eastern section of the park and along Riverside Drive. This work will include the removal of several existing wood poles, cobra head light fixtures and runs of overhead wiring. Proposed Lighting •10 foot tall, spun concrete poles. Poles are being provided by the City of South Bend from existing inventory. Poles will match those already in place along Riverside Drive. See attached photos.•Lantern style luminaire, black finish, LED light source, Color temperature: 3,000K. See attached cutsheet.•See location map for proposed light pole locations. Reference •Leeper Park Cultural Landscape Report▫Pages 55: “The replicated exposed aggregate cast stone light standards and polycarbonated, lensedligholiers on the upper reaches of Riverside Drive are, we believe, appropriate for the park ingeneral.” 2.

Reference •Standards and Guidelines for Leeper Park▫Item 9.7.4: “...addition of new furnishings and objects will be considered if they do not alter thebasic concept of the historic landscape design.” 4. Planting Shade and flowering trees will be planted throughout the park in informal groupings. Formal floral gardens of mixed perennials and annuals will be planted in the central garden and bound with buried steel edging separating the floral areas from adjacent lawn panels. See the attached planting plans. Proposed Design •Groupings of large shade trees throughout the central section of the park.•Groupings of flowering trees, located in the southern area of the central section to create seasonalinterest and provide filtered separation from surrounding land uses.

Add the 3/4” stainlesssteel nut and hand tighten it. Thread the soil filter square feltside up, over the threaded rod above the flange, washer and nut. PLANTINGLongshadow dry cast limestone is slightly porous. This porosity reduces possible damage from freeze-thaw cycles. The supplied soil filter square should be placed, felt side up, over the drainhole. We recommend using well draining, high quality, loose growing medium. SUMMER The thick walls of Longshadow planters protect roots from heat and preserve moisture naturally.Good drainage is necessary for proper growing conditions. Wilting plants, soggy growing medium,staining, lime-bloom or mold on the outside of the planters are indications that drainage is blocked.If blockage is indicated, the growing medium must be removed, the drainage must be flushed out,assured and maintained.WINTER Good drainage is required to prevent accumulation of water inside planters. Water expands as itfreezes and could cause damage. Many owners use the growing medium to anchor a display ofevergreen boughs and berries. Longshadow dry cast limestone planters can withstand freeze-thawcycles as long as drainage is assured. SEALINGIt is not necessary or desirable to seal the interior of Longshadow planters.

Lighthearted, but a true heavyweight in its class. The Scarborough bench scribes a controlled curve on seat and back, then tempers restraint with the exuberant gesture of its arm. The serif-like details on back frames and feet elegantly cap the linear forms and lend a whimsical touch. Scarborough is welcoming and comfortable in two versions. The horizontal strap seat is clean and simple. The woven seat suggests the familiar strapping fabric of patio furniture. The patented design is assembled as a warp and weft construction of pre-formed parts. The backless Scarborough bench can be used from either side and is ideal for narrow spaces. Litter receptacles with strap or square bar vertical panels are nicely scaled to the bench and the human form. Scarborough transcends categories. It is remarkably durable not only in the way it wears but in the way it remains current over time. Powdercoat finish on metal parts contains no heavy metals, is HAPS-free and has extremely low VOCs. Bench materials are 100% recyclable. Consult our website for recycled content.

Subject: RE: Draft Amenities HPC Application     Jonathon –     Please advise on the following questions/observations. Thank you in advance.      1. Are the silt fence and chain link fence around the new trees temporary? If so, for approximately how long? Please  send a link to an example of both.  They are both temporary and will remain in place throughout construction.  Elicia, I  sent you a few links to images under separate email.  2. I see that the lamp posts are salvaged stock. Will any be new or does the City have all that is needed in stock?  The city  has all that are needed.    3. Verifying that lanterns will be black. Are the existing green?  Some of the existing on upper Riverside are green and  others are black.  See the attached image for the fixtures on the east side of the park (black).  This is what ours will look  like – both light and pole.  4. In a neighborhood‐wide/City discussion when the Riverside Drive lights were upgraded last year, it was agreed that  the Kelvin temperature would be 2,900. I am not familiar enough with this topic to know if 3,000K is different or close  enough. The available lamping for the fixtures is either 3000K, 4000K, 5000K.  3000K is the softest lamp whereas as  5000k would be the harshest and brightest white.  3000K is considered “warm white” – not too yellow, not too white.    5. What will be the outcome of the existing Aids memorial tree?  The tree is being removed.  The dedication will be  relocated either to an existing tree or one of the new ones.  Coordination with parks on a location is necessary.    6. Is this the final path design? Yes.  7. Is this the final intersection design?  Yes.  We will be filling in the missing sidewalk segment on the north side of  Riverside and providing receiving ramps in Bid Package 2 (the overlook package).  Design is not finalized.  2 8. Playground is in a new location then approved previously.  Correct.  However, the original playground concept did  extend to where the current playground is shown.  9. It is difficult to convey the plants specified. Is there any chance you could whip something up like what was given to  HPC for the amphitheater plantings, see attached.  I will get something simple pulled together. It might be important to  note that all of the shade and ornamental tree species selected are on the IDNR list of approved  floodway/floodplain/woody riparian vegetation list.  They are species you would find naturally growing next to a Indiana  river.        This is a very nice presentation! Thank you for all the details. I am able to visualize the finished park and am very excited  for it.      Elicia

Something I did not mention in the application but could add if you think it is valuable.       We do not have much detailed documentation about the central formal garden in Leeper Park.  When I was thinking  about bed layout I looked back at the Sunken Gardens at Garfield Park in Indianapolis, also designed by George Kessler  in 1915 and a restoration project I was fortunate enough to work on.       Historically the beds were bound by lawn areas and either shaped by simple offsets from the edges of paths or in other  cases were a little more freeform.  For Leeper, I similarly used offsets from the walks to form bed edges bordered by  lawn panels.  I did look at the idea of using more freeform beds but opted for a cleaner look that I think will also be  easier to maintain and that I think is definitely historically appropriate.     See the attached images of Garfield – some historic postcards and some contemporary.   This garden also inspired the  use of the cast limestone pieces in Leeper at key garden nodes and entrances as Kessler did at Garfield Park.       Also perhaps noteworthy, the lighting on the upper terrace level is a lantern style luminaire on a custom limestone  base.  But out in the garden, the poles are a fluted concrete.  Although a different base style, the poles and luminaries in  the Garfield Park Sunken Garden are very similar to what we will have in the central section of the park and in our  central garden giving further support to these elements as Kessler formal garden appropriate.       Jonathan Mooney, PLA Senior Landscape Architect, Associate  Lochmueller Group
