Stapp and built in 1928. The first owners of the house were John B. Pagin, vice president of the South Bend Bait Company and his wife Louise. They lived in the house from 1928 until after 1986. PROPOSED CHANGE The owners propose to remove the existing slate roof and replace it with new composition roofing. Specifically, the roofing product is to be Slateline as manufactured by GAF Building materials Corporation and as has been installed on the detached garage and addition bay at the rear. STANDARDS 2.B.2 Recommended Whenever possible, the original shape and materials of the roof should be restored. Particular effort should be made to retain materials such as slate, tile , and other unique materials not commonly found in new construction. Roof covering which is deteriorated beyond repair should be replaced with new material that matches as closely as possible the original composition size, shape, color and texture.... RECOMMENDATION The original slate of this structure is clearly failing at an increasing rate. The existing material shows evidence of spalling and repeated previous repairs leaving a very uneven appearance to the surface. The proposed replacement material has been previously approved for use on the detached garage and rear bay addition recognizing this material as an appropriate simulation of the original slate. Staff recommends approval of this application.

Duvall 8/16/95 CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS STAFF REPORT APPLICATION -- 1995 -0731 PROPERTY -- 221 East Navarre Street South Bend OWNER -- Peter Hauser DESIGNATION -- LHD -RB STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE /HISTORIC CONTEXT This Craftsman style bungalow house was built around 1911. The first owners of the house were William Schindler and his wife who rented it. It is an excellent specimen of the craftsman style on the exterior with battered brick porch columns and mixture of beveled and shingle siding. A few fragmentary segments of six foot, "basket weave" privacy fence remain at the perimeter of the site. PROPOSED CHANGE The owners propose to landscape the site extensively as -shown on the submitted plans and install (replace) privacy fence. STANDARDS I.B. .....greater latitude will be allowed in the application of the adopted standards in the rear of the properties.... No approval will be necessary for changes in lawns, shrubs,- walkways, or semi - permanent surface changes in the - rear of houses. Staff approval would be required for semi - permanent structures such as gazebos...... I.B.I. Recommended 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 be appropriate to existing surrounding site elements in scale, type, and appearance. Accessory structures such as decks gazebos, fountains, and /or small outbuildings should be appropriate to existing surrounding site elements in scale, type, and appearance..... RECOMMENDATION Very little site maintenance appears to have occurred at this site for considerable time. There is presently little ornamental landscaping. The landscaping plan submitted is entirely appropriate to a small lot of this sort. As noted above, surface elements in the rear yard are exempt from COA requirement. Staff finds the proposed board fence and trellis to be in keeping with craftsman design patterns and site development practices. Staff recommends approval of the application.

Thank You - - Peter Hauser - - - -- Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Historic Preservation Commission Regular Monthly Meeting 7th Floor County Commissioners' 7:30 p.m. Conference Room, County -City Building July 17, 1995 South Bend, Indiana I. Call to Order The meeting was called to order at 7:35 p.m. II. Roll Call Members present were; Martha Choitz, Adrian Fine, Catherine Hostetler, John Oxian, Janeanne Petrass, Joanne Sporleder, J. Edward Talley, and Jerry Wiener. Staff present; David B. Duvall - Director; Aladean DeRose, legal counsel was on vacation. Also Present; Dick Bennett, David Bowyer, Jane Murphy, Jeff Sandun, Marsha Stevenson, Carole Streeter, Jay Tidmarsh, Patricia Trozzolo, and Tom Trozzolo. III. Public Hearing A. Certificates of Appropriateness 1. 1017 Riverside Drive - RSD -LHD; Addendum rear yard privacy fence Mr. Duvall read the staff report. Mr. Bennett made presentation, disputing the Staff comments regarding the historical probability of shadow_ box - construction, noting that such construction was present at Williamsburg: Mr. Duvall responded that such a historical precedent was possible but that replacement of the fencing as it had been was more historically accurate. Mr. Bennett gave reason to construct with the shadow box design that they desired a facing appearance to'both sides for the benefit of their neighbors who are -- sharing the cost and noted that -the fencing being removed - was of his own construction some twenty years hence and was then affixed to chain link. Mr. -- Talley expressed empathy- with -Mr. Bennett's concern - for - his neighbors noting that the dog ear board style is being retained. Mr. Bennett also noted that the fence was being reconstructed of dimensional lumber rather than the material now being sold as fencing. Mrs. Petrass inquired as to whether ventilation for the petitioner's' dogs was a consideration. Mr. Bennett indicated that wind load resistance was a greater concern. Mrs. Petrass moved that the Commission approve the change to the shadow box design, noting that there was agreement between the neighbors and that the original height, dog -ear style and material are being retained. Mr. Wiener seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. 2. 1329 East Washington - LL; replacement of circlehead windows Mr. Duvall read the Staff comments. Mr. Bowyer of Peacock and Company, the Contractor, made presentation stating that their intention was to replace the windows as nearly as possible using the insulated glass simulating the leadwork with appropriately colored inserts between the glazing panels. He noted that his company had been performing in -kind maintenance on the windows and trim of this home for several years. He noted that the cladding was as much for durability as color matching. Mrs. Sporleder inquired about the operation details of the windows. Mr. Oxian recounted his negative experience of rot occurrence under cladding. Mr. Bowyer stated that he felt the manufacturers have determined this procedure to be effective or they would not have made it standardized. Ms. Sporleder moved that the commission approve the Proposal as submitted. Mrs Choitz seconded. The motion was unanimously approved. Mr. Talley inquired as to whether the material needed to be stored. Mr. Bowyer indicated that he thought the windows would probably break-up in removal. Mr. Oxian indicated that there is usually no requirement for storage n a when material is deteriorated. Mrs. Sporleder inquired about screens and Mr. Bowyer responded that there would be screens in the new windows 3. 962 Riverside Drive - RSD -LHD; tree removal Mr. Duvall read the Staff comments. No representative of the applicant was present. Mrs. Sporleder asked if the tree was dead. Mr. Duvall responded that at this point it was effectively mutilated having had its branches removed before the work was stopped and COA requested. He also noted that the tree was presently precarious and leaning toward the house. Mr. Oxian repeated that the work had been commenced without COA and that he was disturbed by individuals who participated in the development of the neighborhood standards doing work without proper approval and that this COA application was requested by letter under his signature. Mrs. Choitz moved that the application be approved for removal of the maple tree with the requirement that the bank be replanted with Rroundcover as recommended by Staff. Mr. Fine seconded the motion. Mr. Oxian asked for clarification by Staff that they recommend only ground cover and not the replanting of the tree as would be normal in the removal of a tree. Staff responded affirmatively, that the tree was not significant to the historical oak stand and that the crest of bank location would remain problematic for such trees, and that surface groundcover would more effectively stabilize conditions. The motion was approved by a affirmative vote of all present except Mr. Oxian who abstained. 4. 938 Riverside Drive - RSD -LHD; replace gutters, storm windows, etc. Mr. Duvall read the Staff comments. Mr. Tidmarsh stated that he had little to add to staff description of the work. Mr. Talley commended Mr. Tidmarsh for his copious restoration of this structure, and inquired about the process for re- rating suggested by Staff. Mrs. Sporleder and Mrs. Choitz indicated that the---re-rating should await a---recommendation -from Staff following- the -- completion of work. Mr. Talley moved that the application be approved as recommended - - Staff.- Mrs -- Sporleder - seconded - the motion. The -- motion was - unanimously approved. Mr. Talley moved that upon completion of the restoration work. the Director shall re- evaluate the building with the approval of the commission. Mrs. Petrass seconded the motion. This motion was unanimously approved. 5. 1001 Hudson Avenue - RSD -LHD; shutters Mr. Duvall read the Staff comments. Carole Streeter, the Owner indicated that she had not been aware that she should have attended the Meeting last month and that she had just moved into the neighborhood. She further recounted that the house is not considered contributing and that it has been altered by the aluminum siding. Mr. Duvall observed that the Staff comments were written by Ms. Christine Anderson before her leaving the employ of the commission and that one could only presume that the aluminum siding reflected the style of the material below and that there was little evidence of detail apparent on which to base judgments regarding appropriateness to the style of the house. Mrs. Petrass inquired as to whether there was any other suggestions that could be made on other ways to improve the appearance of this house. Mr. Oxian suggested that the preceding applicant could serve as a model. Ms. Streeter stated that she was not disposed to undertake removal of the siding and was attempting to find a way to improve the appearance of the property. She noted that it would be acceptable to her for Staff to approve her selection of shutter style. Mr. Talley moved that the application be approved because the house is non - contributing and because of the (relatively recent) age of the house with the requirement that the shutter selection be approved by Staff. Mrs. Choitz seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. Mrs. Sporleder inquired about the interior trim details of the house. Ms. Streeter a,e 2 indicated it was plain picture frame type trim. Mr. Talley inquired about future landscaping plans. Ms. Streeter responded that she was waiting to live with the site to study its seasonal character & inquired as to whether the city would maintain right of way trees and what requirements prevailed for removal of shrubs. She was informed that the city would only maintain the trees as pertaining overhead utilities and that COA by staff approval is allowed for shrub replacement but removal without replacement would require hearing by the commission. IV. Regular Business A. Approval of Minutes - June 19, 1995 Mr. Talley moved that the minutes be approved as written. Mrs. Petrass seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. B. Treasurer's Report Mr. Weiner indicated that the second quarter ledger was in his possession and that there would be a second quarter report at the next monthly meeting. C. Correspondence Mr. Duvall indicated that the commission was in receipt of a request from the Indiana Conference of Higher Education seeking topical speakers. The Director has in the past been on this list and commission members are welcome to add their names to this list. In out going correspondence the commission has sent a letter to Ms. Paula Auburn, Chair of the Studebaker National Museum Joint Planning Committee reiterating our concern that the museum remain located in buildings historically related to the Studebaker production and management and emphasizing the importance of the Administration Building; responded to an inquiry from Ms. Rebecca Pettit regarding_ initiation - of - discussion of local historic district designation for the South St. Joseph Street (Monroe Park) Two letters have been sent to owners who have undertaken sitework without COA, the Corbetts as reviewed and the Crumlishes, both of Riverside Drive Local Historic District. A letter was made in response to an inquiry by an owner of property in the West Washington National Register District discouraging the installation of vinyl siding and referring them to the Dept. of Economic Development for design review. A letter of recommendations was sent to Spectrum Financial Service at 1142 Lincolnway East regarding inspection of their masonry and paint failure problems. A Memo was sent to file regarding telephone conversation with Frank Yeandell regarding COA 1995-0503 -2 wherein the owner indicating that he intended to follow the recommendations of the commission to replace his roofing and not to install the vinyl siding which was approved for the garage. D. Committee Reports 1. Budget & Finance - Mr. Oxian indicated that there had still not been a meeting with the City Comptroller because labor union negotiations were consuming his time. He has met with Jon Hunt, Director of the Department of Economic Development who informed us that CDBG monies which have paid the salary of the assistant in past years will be ? reduced in the coming year. Mr. Oxian instructed Mr. Talley to continue monitoring the developments in the county budget process. 2. Legal a. The Historic Preservation Plan has been approved by the Area Plan page 3 Commission and adopted by the Common Council. Mr. Oxian recommends sending a similar resolution to the County Council. Commission members are to receive copies of the Plan Book. The Commission discussed means of disseminating information on an annual basis with the spring letter to update district residents about resolutions & policies which may impact standards & procedures. Mr. Duvall noted that a grant application has been submitted to the Indiana Humanities council seeking funding for reprinting out of print District Preservation Plans and the coming annual letter. b. The pending amendment to ordinance allowing waiver of a redundant public hearing in the establishment of Local Historic Districts has been passed by the Common Council. A change in state law would still be required to allow the HPC to introduce the establishment of a Local Historic Preservation District. 3. Historic Districts had no report 4. Historic Landmarks a. Status of recommendations to Common Council - Mr. Oxian Reported the following: 534 LaPorte Avenue (Starzynski Texaco Gasoline Station) nomination is still pending. Mr. Oxian is considering its withdrawal due to alterations at the building. 221 North Michigan (Roma) will be withdrawn as it has been demolished. 237 North Michigan (LaSalle Hotel) is still pending receipt of consent from the owner. 511 West Colfax (Birdsell /Nimtz Building) has been advertised for second reading and public hearing at the Common Council. 518 South Michigan (Pro Sound) has not yet been sent to council. HPC now has committed support from Dept. - - -of - Economic Development -to sent- -the-- ordinance forward. b. Proposed Landmarks pending second reading Streetlight at NW corner Stanfield & Pokagon before submitting ordinance. still requires greater research c. Frame Family cemetery - Mr. Talley reported that Ms. Toni Cook has photographed the cemetery. She and the owner have stored the headstones which are to be reburied under a new boulder marker. The roadway has been rerouted and the plot is being dedicated in the deed. The plot is to be secured by a fence and landscaped with a perennial groundcover. It was generally agreed that Mr. Coorsman, the developer of this subdivision was doing a good job and responding to historical concerns appropriately. Mr. Oxian indicated that he should receive some commendation upon completion of this project. Ms. Choitz expresses concern that the County Library and Genealogy Society receive records. Mr. Oxian further noted that this plot had not been on the list of old and abandoned cemeteries prepared some years ago. Mr. Talley indicated that he was endeavoring to familiarize himself with those sites during this summer. 5. Standards & Maintenance had no report. 6. Personnel - Mr. Duvall indicated that the availability of the administrative assistant's position has been advertised. Five applicants have been interviewed to date which represents all qualifying resumes which have been received to date. He does not anticipate additional applicants though some resumes may continue to straggle in. Of those interviewed, two candidates seemed to be promising. He may bring a candidate to the executive committee in page 4 the near future. 7. Staff Reports - Mr. Duvall reported the following staff approvals for certificates of appropriate 1. 1232 Lincolnway East 2. 1150 Lincolnway East 3. 1049 Riverside Drive 4. 1093 Riverside Drive 5. 1093 Riverside Drive 6. 938 Riverside Drive zess: - LWE -LHD; - LWE -LHD; - RSD -LHD; - RSD -LHD; - RSD -LHD; - RSD -LHD; in -kind shrub replacement in -kind driveway replacement in -kind gutter replacement in -kind siding replacement in -kind sidewalk replacement renewal, replace wood moulding V. Old Business 1. Riverside Drive Streetlights Mr. Talley indicated that the special committee of Riverside Drive residents concerned about the street light replacement program had met with councilman Steve Lueke and Carl Littrell of public works in the past week to discuss the location of the proposed meters. Subsequently Mr. Talley has met with Carl Littrell and Ray Dalgleish, along with Jay Alexander of I &M and Dave Klein of engineering Dept. to walk through the proposed locations. It appears that the location of meters off the sightlines of the thoroughfare is possible. Mr. Littrell may need to find up to six thousand additional dollars to pay for the change. Jay Tidmarsh is to be liaison to I &M and engineering. There does now seem to be a delay of up to several years before I &M will be prepared to transfer ownership of this section of the streetlight system to the City. In the light of this delay, Mr. Talley questions whether the city should not go ahead and install their posts which are in inventory to take those installations out of project budget. Mr. Oxian expressed frustration with the recalcitrance of I &M in backpedaling on their agreement to transfer ownership of the system to the city. Mr. Talley will contact Carl Littrell regarding the possibility of using this i nvento ry before it disappears as has been a problem - - - - in the past. 2. Darden Road Bridge Ms. Sporleder requested that Staff report to the commission at its next meeting on the status of the Darden Bridge project. Mr. Duvall stated that the only recent activity of which he had knowledge was that he had responded to an inquiry from Cole Associates about two months previous seeking information about the plaque which had been on the face of the Bridge upon approach. Mr. Duvall pointed out that being highway funding project, the environmental review for the Darden Bridge project will be performed by the SHPO who could probably provide information. VI.

I discovered the pre- existing By -Laws when I began preparing the Commissioner Manual (the subject of my prior memo to you). I enclose a copy of the original By -Laws and Conflict of Interest policy statement. Some of the By -Laws conflict with the recently discussed -- - (but not - yet - finally enacted) _Rules Governing Conduct of Business (copy also enclosed). To the extent that you prefer what' s contained in - the Rules as - opposed - to the - existing By- Laws,, then we'll need to formally amend the By -Laws at the same time we adopt the Rules. If you prefer what's contained in the By- Laws, then we'll need to make consistent modification to the Rules before you enact them. Please be prepared to discuss your preferences at the August meeting - on Monday the 21st. - Thanks. Sincerely, Aladean M.

Call to Order II. Roll Call III. Public Hearing A. Certificates of Appropriateness 1. 1233 East Wayne Street North - LHD -EW; replacement roofing IV. Adjournment CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS STAFF REPORT APPLICATION -- 1995 -0724 PROPERTY -- 1233 East Wayne Street (North) South Bend OWNER -- Michael & Denise Collins DESIGNATION -- LHD -EW STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE /HISTORIC CONTEXT This Colonial Revival house was designed for Whitcomb & Keller by H.R. Stapp and built in 1928. The first owners of the house were John B. Pagin, vice president of the South Bend Bait Company and his wife Louise. They lived in the house from 1928 until after 1986. PROPOSED CHANGE The owners propose to remove the existing slate roof and replace it with new composition roofing. Specifically, the roofing product is to be Slateline as manufactured by GAF Building materials Corporation and as has been installed on the detached garage and addition bay at the rear.. STANDARDS 2.B.2 Recommended Whenever possible, the original shape and materials of the roof should be restored. Particular effort should be made retain materials such as slate, t ile , and other unique materials not co mmonl y found in new construction. Roof covering - which .is deteriorated beyond repair should be replaced with new material that matches as closely as possible the original composition size, shape, color and texture.... RECOMMENDATION The original slate of this structure is clearly failing at an increasing rate. The existing material shows evidence of spalling and repeated previous repairs leaving a very uneven appearance to the surface. The proposed replacement material has been previously approved for use on the detached garage and rear bay addition recognizing this material as an appropriate simulation of the original slate. Staff recommends approval of this application. DBD 8/15/95
