South Bend, IN 46601 Honorable Board Members: It has been brought to our attention that the Board of Zoning Appeals will review an appeal by John Friedline for the property at 319 N. William/ 406 W. Madison which requests subdivision of the parcel into two distinct lots of 8mallo-et-,th6Lii4(Averagei size. It was the Commission's belief that the lot had already beensubdivided in 1989. I am enclosing a letter written by our past president, Joann Sporleder, which discusses this subdivision and the continuing landmark status on both buidings and their grounds. The commission is not in favor of subdividing the property because such a division may alter the integrity of the parcel as a local landmark. If the property is subdivided, the Commission will need to review any requests for zoning variances on either property prior to approval from the BZA. Otherwise, local landmark standards (Group B) apply to both parcels for any exterior or landscape changes. If you have any questions, feel free to contact our office. Sincerely, . Cwt, . Jo H.

South Bend, IN 46601 Honorable Board Members: It has been brought to our attention that the Board of Zoning Appeals will review Appeal #3404 for the property at 319 N. William/406 W. Madison which requests subdivision of the parcel. This letter presents information to clarify the historic status of the property. 'This property was designated as a local landmark by the Common Council on November 4, 1975. The house, built in 1855, is extremely significant as one of the oldest extant houses in South Bend and as one of the few houses designed in the Federal Style. The original band -hewn beams are still visible in the basement. 'The commnercial building, built in the Late lath century, is historically an integral part of the property. The landmark status in which exterior changes to the buildings and grounds are reviewed through the Certificate of Appropriateness process will continue on both buildings and their grounds pursuant to the original designating ordinance. If You have any questions, reel free to contact our office. Istoric y, orl" er, President PreservationCommission JS:ef _0 i historicpreservation commission 0 1 of south bend and st. joseph county ROOM 1123 COUNTY CITY BUILDING south bend, indiana 46601 (219) 284-9798 September 11, 1990 Botfid of Zoning Appeals 13 Floor, County/City Building South Bend, IN 46601 Dear Board Members: Regarding our letter of September 6, it was our impression from the petition filed by Mr. Friedline that the property had yet to be subdivided. We have since been informed that the property in question at 319 N. William/ 406 W. Madison was subdivided a year or so ago and that the petitioner is simply filing for separate key numbers. The Historic Preservation Commission has no objection to separate key numbers, providing that both parties abide by the landmark standards. While the Commission does not favor the subdivision of historic properties, it is sometimes necessary in the course of land management to do so. Since this property has already been subdivided in all but legal key number, the Historic Preservation Commission will not stand in the way of designating these properties two distinct entities and will adjust its landmark files to accommodate such a division upon approval of the petitioner's request by the BZA. I hope this letter clears up any confusion from our September 6th correspondence. Sincerely, 901A -) VT - John H.

Roll Call Members Present: Mr. John Oxian, Mrs. Janeanne Petrass, Mr. Odell Newburn, Mr. Jed Eide, Mr. Herb Herendeen, Mrs. Jean Dennen, Mrs. Lori Dixon - Director, Mr. James Pastor - Survey Manager, Ms. Aladeen DeRose - City Attorney. Members Absent: Mrs. Martha Choitz, Mr. F. Jay Nimtz, Mrs. Joan Sporleder. Others Present: Barbara Steele - Southhold Restorations; Mr. Jon Gochenaur - 63907 Bremen 40 Highway; Mr. Kevin Boughal - South Bend Tribune. III. Public Hearing A. Certificates of Appropriateness 1. 1216 E. Wayne St. North --EW Mrs. Dixon reported that the owner proposed to install a picket fence of red cedar, 42" tall, in the back yard by the garage area. The fence would not come up to the setback of the house. After some discussion regarding the exact location of the fence, Mr. Newburn moved to approve the fence as indicated on the C. of A.; Mrs. Petrass seconded. Motion approved. 2. 63907 Bremen Highway --LL (Tabled from August meeting) Mrs. Dixon introduced Mr. Gochenaur (owner). Mr. Gochenaur submitted revised drawings indicating the details and dimensions of the new porch. The plan followed recommendations made by the commission (via drawings from Mr. Eide) with the exception of the post style. The posts are to be square at top and bottom r with a turned section in the center. The railing was set at 30". Mr. Eide questioned the lack of opening in the railing at the front entrance. Mr. Gochenaur explained that the front door is 04 not used for entry to the house, as most persons use the side door off of the driveway (where the entrance is located on the porch plan). Mr. Gochenaur further stated that the original porch wrapped around the front to the south, but that remodeling done since that porch was removed placed a chimney on the south side, thus preventing the construction of such a porch now. Gochenaurs plan"oto install rectangular lattice below the porch floor in front of the foundation. Mr. Eide recommended that Gochenaurs seek roofing shingles made especially for flat or low-pitched roofs. Mr. Eide further stated that he would rather see the front opened to permit entry from that direction. Mrs. Dennen asked if there were steps leading up to the front door. Mr. Gochenaur stated that brick steps had been placed in front of the door by a previous owner, but that they had been replaced. Mrs. Dennen asked if the shutters would be hinged. Mr. Gochenaur replied that they would not. Mrs. Petrass stated that she would like to see an entry onto the porch in the front. Mr. Eide asked if the owners felt strongly about keeping the porch enclosed across the front, stating that the Commission was thinking of the appearance from the street and not the function of the front door as the main entry. Mr. Gochenaur stated that he did not feel that strongly about it. Mr. Eide stated that it would look better to have an opening in front. Mr. Eide moved that the plan be approved, recommending that the steps be retained in c " the front rather than putting the railing ally way across: Mrs. Dennen seconded. Motion approved. IV. Regular Business A. Minutes - August 20, 1990 Mr. Oxian made two corrections to the minutes. Mr. Newburn moved to approve the minutes as corrected; Mr. Eide seconded. Motion approved. 00 B. Treasurer's Report - August 1990 Mrs. Petrass moved to file the treasurer's report for audit; Mrs. Dennen seconded; motion approved. C. Correspondence Mrs. Dixon submitted the correspondence for review by the Commission. D. Committee Reports 1. Certificates of Appropriateness a. Mrs. Dixon submitted a draft of a new Certificate of Appropriateness policy to the Commission for their review. The policy would be of greater detail than existing policy. Mr. Oxian stated that the adoption of this procedure would be as an amendment to the original procedure as stated in the preservation plan book. He further stated that we would want to look at court cases which have been won or lost because of a commission's adherence to set policies and procedures. He stated that he felt that this procedure was better because it was more detailed than the existing policy. Mr. Eide stated that he would put his comments in writing. Mrs. Dixon stated that the Commission should review the proposal and provide the staff with any comments they wish to make before the next meeting. Ms. DeRose requested a copy of the draft. Mrs. Dixon stated that she would provide her with such. Mrs. Petrass asked if the Commission had a time frame on the current policy. Mrs. Dixon stated that the Commission is required to act within thirty days from the application for a C. of A. but the applicant did not have a deadline for submitting an application in order to be included on the agenda of the next meeting. Mr. Eide asked if the proposed policy corresponded with the building permit requirements in any way. Mrs. Dixon stated that she believed the policy was similar, but would check to be certain. N 04 The proposal was tabled until the October meeting to allow further input from the Commission members. 2. Budget & Finance No Report. 3. Legal Ms. DeRose reported on a letter sent to Commission members regarding the Commission's liability for unsafe structures. She stated that the Commission is not liable for anything covered by another agency of the city government unless the Commission specifically makes safety factors a condition. She suggested that the Certificate of Appropriateness contain a disclaimer to back up this policy. If safety is made a condition of the Certificate, then the Commission is liable. The Commission must make its decisions based on historic authenticity, whether safety is a concern; or not. Mr. Herendeen moved to add a disclaimer to the Certificates of Appropriateness stating that the decision of the Commission in no way indicates the project's compliance with safety and code standards; Mrs. Dennen seconded. Motion approved. 4. Historic Districts a) East Wayne Trees Mrs. Dennen and Mr. Eide stated that the district would be getting approximately forty trees through the city's neighborhood grant. The trees are to be planted in the treelawn. 5. Historic Landmarks a) 723 Park Avenue Mr. Oxian gave second reading on 723 Park Avenue. Mrs. Petrass moved to approve granting landmark status; Mr. Eide seconded. Motion approved. 6. Public Relations & Community Education No Report 7. Personnel a) Personnel Committee Meeting Mrs. Dixon announced that the Personnel 00 Committee would be meeting the next afternoon (9/18/90) and stated that she would welcome the attendance of any commission members. b) Computer Training Mrs. Dixon requested permission for Mr. Pastor and herself to attend a training session on the Q&A Database, which is the software system purchased by the Commission for its data filing system. The price of the training is $129.95 per person, which Mrs. Dixon stated was a bit steep, but worth the expense if it allowed the staff to get more use from the computer more quickly. Mr. Newburn reminded the staff that such an expenditure would be an in-line transfer. Mr. Herendeen moved that the staff be allowed to make that expenditure and to attend the conference; Mrs. Petrass seconded. Motion approved. 8. Staff Reports a. Permission to attend IU Conference Mrs. Dixon requested permission to send Mr. Pastor to the IU Preservation Conference in Porter County on October 12 and 13. Mr. Oxian stated that if approval was given, he wanted a written report of the conference from Mr. Pastor. Mr. Newburn moved to approve sending Mr. Pastor to the conference; Mr. Herendeen seconded. Motion approved. b. Magnetic Signs Mr. Pastor requested permission to purchase two sets of magnetic signs for use on staff cars when performing their duties for the Commission. He stated that ID cards do not help much because most people do not wish to ask the staff what they are doing, or do not believe the answer they get. Mrs. Dixon stated that the Commission should get two pairs of signs, to accommodate both sides of two cars. Mr. Pastor showed sample materials from the company with the low bid. He stated that the Commission name is too long for use. It was suggested that Historic Preservation Commission be used, along with the phone number. Mr. Herendeen recommended that the Commission go with silk screening, perhaps with the city and/or county seal. Mr. Oxian suggested that the staff check with the city sign department to see if they have a silk screen of the seal already on file. V. Old Business VI. New Business a) Photo Processing Mr. Pastor presented options on how the Commission might handle its photo processing in the future. He suggested that the Commission send the film to Dill's Camera Shop for the processing of the film to negatives, then contracting with Leigh Booker (separately contracted from her current contract as surveyor) to prepare the negatives and develop the contact prints. Mr. Herendeen asked about the archival stability of the photo processing. Mr. Pastor stated that it would be similar to those which have been processed in the past, but that none of these is up to the State standards, which recommend the use of fiber paper for developing archivally stable prints. Mr. Pastor stated that it would be more expensive to have the prints made on fiber paper due to the method of processing (roll drum). Mr. Newburn suggested that the records be placed on microfilm. Mr. Pastor stated that he could check with camera stores and other professionals to discern what difference exists between the archival stability of resin coated paper and that of fiber paper. If there is little difference, the savings of the proposed plan 3 (to have dills develop the film and have Leigh Booker develop the prints from the negatives) would be significant. VII. Hearing of Visitors No Report VIII. Announcements and Miscellaneous Matters No Report IX. Adjournment The meeting adjourned at 8:46 p.m. 04 2 • $_T A FF R.E.P QR_T_ Jeff Hyatt 1216 E. Wayne St. North South Bend, IN 46615 pROpO5A. ................................................ The owner proposes to install 122 ft. of 42" hight, 2-1/2" spaced picket fence around approximately 200 of the yard in back of the house, with one gate made to look like the fence. Materials include western red cedar 1x4 dog-ear topped pickets,2x4 stringers & gate. Wolmanized red pine 4x4 posts set in 2' cement (see specs from Schuell Fence, enclosed). STANDARDS ...................................................... New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in photographs, drawings, and newspapers. New site work should also be appropriate to existing surrounding site elements in scale, type, and appearance.... Fences shall not extend forward beyand the setback line of the house. • RECOMPIENDAT_I.0N. The staff recommends that the owner be permitted to install the fence in his backyard. It would not detract from the site or the neighborhood, and would be largely obscured from streetview by the house. 41 APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION CITY OF SOUTH BEND - ST.

REPoR_T Connie Gochenaur 63907 Bremen Hwy. South Bend, IN PROPOSAL,. The owner proposes to build a porch which would wrap around the east (front) and north sides of the house. This petition was tabled at the August 1990 meeting because the style of porch in the drawings submitted by the owners was not in keeping with the simple Italianate style of the house. STANDARDS. Additions to landmarks should not detract from the original form and unity of the landmark and should not cover singular examples of architectural detail. Additions to landmarks should be added in a manner that does not disrupt the visible unity or overall appearance of the site. The proportions, materials and rations of the existing structures should be carried through i the additions. • All work should be done in the architectural style and in a technique compatible with that of the origianl sturcture. Change that alters, removes, or covers existing significant stylistic detail shall not be permitted. A change which adds detail of another style will not be permitted. RECOMMENDAT_I.ONS_ Since the August meeting, the owners have been provided with pictures, drawings, and written explanations of the characteristic Italianate porch. The owners have expressed an interest in utilizing the suggestions made by Mr. Eide, with a few alterations in the post style. They are to submit drawings in plan and elevation to the Commission for approval. The staff= recommends that, if the posts and other architectural details meet the criteria for the Italianate style, the project be approved. is A i 0 • August 28, 1990 Comments on the Italianate house porch design: COLUMNS Square columns would be more in keeping with the Italianate style than the turned Colonial style columns selected. The square columns however, must have some ornamentation including capital brackets, mouldings, routed (chamfered) corners, base, etc. ENTABLATURE AND BRACKETING The submitted design shows no beam or frieze area below the facia board which gives a overly thin or flimsy appearance to the porch. The lack of an entablature does not allow a place for brackets - which are an essential element of the Italianate style. In keeping with the simple detailing of the original house, we recommend that the bracket design be kept simple. RAILING The railing shown is too high and disturbs the scale of the porch and house. Subject to compliance with the building code, we recommend that the overall height of the rail be no more than 2'-4" to 2'-6". SHUTTERS Most Italianate houses do not have shutters, and consideration should be given to not installing shutters unless the original house had them. If shutters are to be used, they must be sized and positioned so that they have the appearance of original functioning shutters. The shutters shown on the submitted elevation are too tall (they would conflict with the hood moulding above the window), too narrow (they would not cover the glass), and positioned too far from the -window (resulting in a "pasted -on" appearance).

Al - tr • 1 Al - Computer Training • Our new software is more complicated than anticipated. The manuals are helpful, but do not answer some of our job -specific questions. I have contacted the Tandy Business Center, which sold us the software. They provide one -day training seminars which last from 10AM to spm. Unfortunately, these seminars cost $130.00 per person. We have significant funds in our budget to cover the cost of such training for two staff members, as we have not attended many conferences this year (nor do I see us attending more than one or two). While we are capable of reading the manual and implementing the Processes described therein, we believe that hands on training would speed up the process and allow us to utilize the full capacity of the software sooner. • • )5t CJ PHOTOGRAPHY Proposals for processing ............ I ............................ 1) Dills Camera $9.37 per roll: $2.43 for negative development with a processing time of one day, $5.95 for contact print with a processing time of five days.
