Historic Districts 1)- 601 Lincolnway East Ms. Kiemnec reported that a hearing on June 6 with the Code Enforcement Department was attended by a representative of John Freidline who indi- cated that he had a potential tenant for.the building. The Hearing Officer set July 6, 1983 as the deadline to have the building secured for public safety; August 6, 1983 as the deadline for making exterior improvements; and August 30, 1983 as the deadline for correcting interior violations. c. Historic Landmarks 1) Second Reading on Landmark Designation of 1133 North Allen Mrs. Sporleder made a motion that 1133 North Allen Street be declared a landmark by ordinance and sent to the Common Council; Mr. Hayes seconded; motion carried. 2) 52220 Gumwood Mr. Oxian reported that the landmark building at 52228 Gumwood still has the unauthorized, large classical revival porch. Mr. Oxian made a motion to send the owner, Mr. John Whitaker, a letterasking him to inform the HPC of his intentions for the porch which is in violation of the landmark status. The letter would be registered and ask for a response by August 15, the date of the Commission's August meeting. It would further state that if he does not respond by that time, the HPC would appeal to the County Council on September 13 to request rescission of the landmark designation as well as the benefits that go with it. Mrs. Choitz seconded the motion; it passed. 3) 1125 E. LaSalle The Commission reviewed a request by the owner of 1125 E. LaSalle, Mrs. Mary Mellow, for landmark status for her home. The building was not included on the South Bend survey because it was extensively remodeled in the 40s with new shingle siding, removal of the bargeboard, and the addition of a new oc- tagonal window on the second floor. Mrs. Sporleder made a motion that the HPC write to the owner explaining that her house cannot be included on the survey or designated as a landmark because of its extensive changes unless she can provide documented proof that the house is significant for historic Pane 30, 1983 Page reasons or older than its estimated one hundred years.

Environmental Impact Statement 1) 709 Arch - The Commission reviewed the plans of the owners, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Spees, and their contractor, Mr. Glen Saha, for the construction of a commercial building behind the house. The Commission suggested that although it has no objections to a commercial structure in that space, the proposed plans are not in agreement with the standards for the Edgewater Place Historic District. It was further suggested that the owners revise the plans to include materials, style, and proportions more in keeping with the standards and submit a revised plan at the July 18 meeting.
