Mesecar DESIGNATION -- Edgewater Place Local Historic District STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT The house at 517 Edgewater Drive is located in the Edgewater Place Local Historic District and was rated C/9 on the Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Inventory. The house is a Colonial Revival structure built c. 1923 by the developers Whitcomb and Keller. The house has undergone major alterations including the application of aluminum siding, aluminum storm windows and doors, and an enclosed front porch. PROPOSED CHANGE The applicant proposes the installation of three courses of wrought iron hand railing. Two railings would flank the initial steps to the property from the city sidewalk; a single railing would lead up the steps, on'the left side facing the house, to the front door. STANDARDS The district standards state (1.B.2.) that "New site work should also be appropriate to existing surrounding site elements in scale, type and appearance." RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends for this proposal. The applicant is requesting the addition of a minor site amenity that is currently present elsewhere in the district. C. Frederick 2-14-94 .i DRIVE -LIID 517 -EDGFVkTFR v CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS STAFF REPORT PROPERTY -- 1314 East Wayne (N) South Bend, IN 46615 OWNER -- Jeff and Susan Bernard DESIGNATION -- East Wayne Local Historic District STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT The house at 1314 East Wayne (N) is located in the East Wayne Local Historic District. It was rated C/10 on the Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Inventory. The house is a Colonial Revival designed by H.R. Stapp and built in 1926 by Whitcomb and Keller. At the time of the survey (1986) it was considered in excellent condition with minor alterations. The alterations included aluminum storm windows on the second story and an aluminum storm door. There is also a one story hipped addition to the east rear. PROPOSED CHANGE The applicant proposes the change out of five (5) windows in the attic. These include two (2) dormer windows on the north facade; two (2) quarter round windows on the west facade; and one (1) half round window on the east facade. Each would be replaced with sized to fit Andersen replacement windows. STANDARDS The district standards state (II. C. 1.) "Original windows . . . shall be retained or when determined beyond repair, replaced with units and trim resembling the original." and (II.C.2.) "For energy efficiency, steel casements may require interior storm windows." and (II.C.3.) "Original windows . . . shall not be discarded when they can be restored and reused in place." RECOMMENDATION The staff opposes this proposal. A site visit on February 14, 1994 yielded no evidence that the original windows were "deteriorated beyond repair". The staff believes that repair of the existing, original windows is possible and appropriate as regards the East Wayne Local Historic District standards. C.

Certificates of Appropriateness 1. 1093 Riverside Drive; RD-LHD Mr. Frederick read the staff report. Commissioner Eide asked if the garage would hold two cars. Commissioner Sporleder asked about the materials of the garage and the other openings into the garage. Ms. Stevenson responded that it was a two car garage, made of wood with several windows and a conventional door. Ms. Stevenson agreed that the change would impact the historic integrity of the property negatively but that currently the garage was not functional. Commissioner Petrass stated that it was barely possible to park a car in the garage as it stands. Commissioner Oxian spoke of his own experience with the replacement of similar garage doors. Commissioner Eide asked the dimensions of the proposed opening. Ms. Stevenson replied 17' 6". Commissioner Sporleder asked if the alley was paved. Ms. Stevenson responded that the alley was asphalt. Commissioner Choitz suggested a similar paint scheme for the replacement door. Ms. Stevenson's response to the suggestion was positive. Commissioner Oxian asked counsel if the HPC could approve the replacement of an original door. Ms. DeRose replied that the HPC has disgressionary power that enables a departure from the guidelines, however those mitigating factors must be specifically addressed in the motion. By doing so the HPC avoids the charge that it acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner as regards the potential change out of original materials. Commissioner Sporleder moved to allow the replacement of the original garage doors with a double automatic overhead door in order to make the garage functional as a car storage structure and improve its security. Commissioner Petrass seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Ms. Stevenson stated that she would provide the HPC with documentation concerning the security problems in the RD-LHD. 2. 209 Hammond Place; RB-LHD Mr. Frederick read the staff report.

Mr. Arnesen spoke about the Federal Historic Tax Credits and National Park Service review of the project. Commissioner Eide asked about the aluminum windows mentioned in the specs.

Commissioner Oxian asked about the Vo-Tech exterior. Mr. Vos said that the plans for the Vo-Tech building were in a preliminary phase but that the intention was to remove the third addition to the building (courtyard infill). Mr. Vos said that the overhead doors would probably be stabilized and that the lighting for the parking lots would be non-historic overhead type. Commissioner Sporleder asked if the mechanical room was to be reused. Mr. Vos responded in the affirmative. Commissioner Sporleder asked about the courtyard roof. Mr. Arnesen said that the courtyard would remain open. Commissioner Sporleder asked about securing the' parking lots.
