CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS STAFF REPORT
PROPERTY -- 1077 Riverside Drive
South Bend, IN
OWNER -- Mary Hendriksen & Dwight King
DESIGNATION -- RSD-LHD
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT
The house at 1077 Riverside Drive was built c. 1925 for
Harriette E. and Dora I. Keller, sisters of Fred W. Keller
partner in the prominent real estate company of Whitcomb
and Keller. This Colonial Revival style house is rated
S/11 in the Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Survey
and is considered to be in excellent condition.
PROPOSED CHANGE
The owners propose the following changes:
1. Transplant a rhododendron from the rear of the garage
to area of dying rhododendron near screened porch.
2. Remove sapling that is interfering with the dogwood.
3. Transplant redbud sapling near lilacs to corner of
screened porch on Riverside Drive.
4. Remove two lowest branches of hemlock extending over
sidewalk (Custom & Moore to do work).
5. Replace backdoor light with light matching original
lanterns.
STANDARDS
Standards: I.B.1."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."
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed changes 1-4 are minor landscaping site
amenities that are appropriate to the existing site
elements, staff recommends approval.
Proposed change 5 would involve the removal of a
non -historic light fixture and replacement with one more
compatible with the original fixtures. Staff recommends
conceptual approval with the proposal referred to the
Standards and Maintenance Committee for approval once the
owners have selected the specific fixture.
CAA

COPY MACHINE POLICY
The staff would like to implement a copying fee for photocopies of HPC records
made for the public. The HPC pays a 8 1/2 cent per copy fee for use of MACOG's
copy machine. At this time, any public requests for copies of HPC records are
granted without charge. The staff asks for approval of the policy to charge a
10 cent per copy fee on photocopies made for the public.

CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS STAFF REPORT
PROPERTY -- 621 Lincolnway East
South Bend, Indiana
OWNER -- Kim Pummill
DESIGNATION -- Edgewater Place LHD
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT
The house at 621 LWE is a Free Classic Queen Anne
constructed c. 1892. This structure is rated C/9 in the
Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Survey and is
typical of the second stage of development in the
Edgewater Place District at the turn of the century. The
two story structure has an almost pyramidal roof broken by
dormers. There is an open flat roofed front porch. This
porch is of skirted post construction with no masonry
foundation.
PROPOSED CHANGE
The owner proposes to demolish the existing front porch
and rebuild a new porch to meet approximate
appropriateness of the existing structure.
STANDARDS
II.D. Entrances, Porches and Steps -- Existing or
original porches and steps, including handrails,
balusters, columns, brackets, tiles, and roof decorations
shall be retained or replaced with replicas of the same
design and materials when deteriorated beyond repair.
RECOMMENDATION
The porch is in an advanced state of deterioration with
settling, rot, and extreme weathering. Although the design
elements of the porch are intact, restoration would
require extensive (approximately 75%) in-kind replacement
of material.
The property has outstanding Code Enforcement citations
including numerous violations concerning the front porch.
These violations will be heard by the Code Enforcement
Hearing Officer March 9, 1995.
Because the owner's proposal is to approximate
appropriateness in the replacement porch, the staff felt
this would require hearing by the Commission rather than
an in-kind staff approval. Staff recommends approval
contingent on the understanding that the owner's
replacement porch is to be an in-kind replacement.
