Michigan.. -- -, South •Bend, IN - - - - OWNER -- South Bend - Water Works DESIGNATION -- LL RATING -- 'Outstanding 0/13 ` STATEMENT /HISTORIC CONTEXT The-plans for the North Pumping Station were drawn up on August 1912, by the well known local architects, Freyermuth and Maurer. This firm preserved -an earlier foundation on the northwest side of the present structure which 'dates to_1892. Work on the new building began in 1910 when a local engineer, William S. had built a,6,000.,000 gallon reinforced concrete ,.reservoir. Freyermuth and Maurer's 1912 building:was.constructed for the_cast of $250,000.00 and was equipped with a 7 "x 175' reinforced concrete stack, a brick suction well,, 20 additional supply wells and steam pumping engines. The ' - suction-well was subsequently replaced by a modern - reservoir and the steam pumps -were replaced by electricity, thus, leaving most of the pumping station empty. ; The exterior of the new pumping station is in the classical revival style, which was very popular in the mid -west as the Prairie School Style began to fade, to male i.t better suit its park surroundings.'Currently_ the interior is' divided into three parts, the old •pumping-room the new pumping roof and the boiler room. PROPOSED CHANGE Applicant proposes to first add chemical feed equipment, filter vessels, pumps, piping, HVAC systems and electrical'-systems the existing facility. Second, they propose to renovate the office space to the south wing of the facility to house the water works,staff, various field piping modifications /additions, and new overflow structure. Thirdly, the applicant is proposing.to resurface the existing driveways and rehabilitate the parking facilities. For more detail see letter from Water Works dated - June 14, 1998, parts 1 through 5. STANDARDS - The Preservation Guidelines for Local Landmarks: b) .... The Guidelines for Local Landmarks follow the Rehabilitation Model.... C. Renovation and C.1. Structure Necessary structural improvements, where safety demands should be accomplished in such a way,as,to cause minimal' visual change to the original style and' 'construction.' ` C:2. Construction and Style- All work should be in the architectural style and in a technique compatible with that'of the original' 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. CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS STAFF REPORT C.3. Material Additions and improvements involving any new material in the landmark should. be of the same as the' original., It should be the same size -and - = texture. An alternative material. may be allowed if it duplicates the original: - Building - Site - and Landscaping 2. Recommended New site - work should be,based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of ..the property found in photographs, drawings, and newspapers.. RECOMMENDATION This application pertains to those exterior features of the'proposed work.at the North Pumping.Station (and reservoir) as described above - . This work may be summarized as the addition and updating of interior equipment and conversion of the south bay from industrial shop use to office space. THe latter includes some issues of egress-pertaining to the Americans with Disabilities Act.(ADA): Staff has worked closely with the staff of the Water Works and with.the A &E firm which has prepared the plans and to integrate them with - the window repair', and replacement scheme previously approved by the commission. The alterations affecting the facades - are limited to the reduction of floor structure behind multi -story windows (4" max) and and door issues at the rear.. The latter shown on drawing A /A4 of the exhibits include (proceeding left to 1) removal of existing non - historic overhead door and replacement with metal paired passage doors with a transom above. 2) construction of an additional passage door and reconstructing infill wall in cavity above. This item - requires removal of masonry hall below the existing sill to make'way for the door opening'. 3) reconstruction of infill wall in several other window cavities. 4) replacement of existing two story non - historic overhead door with new overhead door. and 5),replacement of non - historic metal doors at hoist area including' reconstruction of infill - wall in transom area above. In all cases where . window cavities have been previously.infilled with painted sheet metal covering, the rehabilitation. exterior finish is to be corrugated metal factory painted metal.-Louvers are placed in these panels as shown on.- plans for mechanical purposes. An additional item satis -fies .IN Dept. of Environmental Management removing overflow-from the stream. Alternative locations are immediately from the building on east side with discharge pipe or remote-location approximately 150 feet northwest of pedestrian bridge: An additional 24" overflow discharge - pipe, is to be located at the reservoir. Staff finds the proposal to be .thorough with regard .to accomplishing ,a' great - deal of technical - improvement for this facility with very limited affect on integrity of the existing building. All substantial affect are limited,to the rear elevation, arid: these are generally restricted to modification of- previous - alterations. Where unsightly overflow discharge pipes are required they -are placed in the most discrete locations available. Staff recommends approval.' k CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS STAFF REPORT" In - the.long range location- of•an- .unsightly feature discretely near the building,is better- than a redundant concrete - near the riverbank. which would surely exacerbate- erosion'in the area.

Michigan St., South Bend, IN. The project includes the addition of chemical feed equipment, filter vessels, pumps, piping, HVAC systems and electrical systems to the existing facility. Also included is the renovation of office space to the south wing of the facility to house the water works staff, various field piping modifications /additions, and a new overflow structure. These improvements are addressed in detail in the following paragraphs: 1. Improvements to the interior of the North Pumping Station will require the addition of intakes /exhausts tot dehumidification, ventilation, heating and cooling systems. Attached on plan sheet A5 is an elevation of the east face of the facility. All HVAC systems, where penetrations to the exterior (louvers) are required, were kept to the rear (east face) of the facility (low visibility). Per our conversions and meetings with the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) we have kept the louvers. high, in the arches of the window. Therefore, if the windows are replaced in the future the louvers will not be in the way in the lower sections of the windows. No changes were made to the to the exterior of the north, south or west face of the facility, due to the high visibility from Michigan St. to these exteriors. The existing trolley system on the east face is not original to the Station. It was added in recent years for the loading and unloading of chlorine ton cylinders. The existing trolley system is an eyesore and will be removed, refer to the attached (upper) 2335 West Highway 36 ■ St. Paul, MN 55113 ■ 612 - 636 -4600 ■ Fax: 612 -636 -1311 Preservation Commission of July 14, 1998 South Bend & St. Joseph County Mr. Dave Duvall photograph. A new retractable trolley system is proposed to be installed Historic at the same location. The new trolley will be visible only when chlorine is delivered to the facility (the trolley system will be retracted within the chlorine room when not in use). Electrical conduit is currently attached to the exterior east face of the facility in various locations. The conduit will be removed and the electrical service fed underground to the station. 2. In order to assure against flooding of the entire facility, an emergency overflow from the backwash tank, located in the lower level of the facility, to the facility's exterior is needed. The location of an overflow structure /pipe from the facility's backwash tank to the exterior of the facility is currently under evaluation. There are two possible locations for the overflow line from the facility. The first possible location for the overflow is on the east wall of the station as shown on plan sheets A5 & P10. An 18" flapper check valve would be installed on the .east wall. The invert of the valve would be 12" above the ground elevation, per "Ten States Standards ". Under emergency conditions the valves would open and overflow from this point into the parking lot. The second possible location for the overflow is to bury a line from the backwash tank to the river. An overflow structure would be constructed in Leeper Park near the river. The structure would consist of a concrete spillway /pad down the slope of the embankment to the river to prevent erosion. 3. An overflow structure from the reservoir to the river is shown on plan sheet P1. The current overflow for the reservoir is located in the river (submerged). The Indiana Department of Environmental Management does not allow an overflow to be submerged. The overflow must have a minimum of a 12" air break. Therefore the existing overflow must be relocated, refer to plan sheet Cl for proposed location of overflow. 4. Field piping modifications will require temporary excavation within Leeper Park. The areas to be excavated for the installation of piping and conduit (electrical to wells) includes the following locations: a. North of North Station: Installation of finished water piping, from north face of station to approximately 35 feet north of station, refer to plan sheet C3. Majority of excavation will be in the existing driveway. Excavation will require the removal of various plantings north of the drive. Plantings NA Preservation Commission of South Bend & St. Joseph County Mr. Dave Duvall July 14, 1998 b. to be replaced with similar. It is requested that new plantings be located an additional 10 feet north to eliminate current problems where trees and tree roots are at/over valve box manholes. C. North and East of North Station: Installation of an 8" sanitary line to the . sanitary sewer located in Park Lane. Line has been located to avoid trees /shrubs /plantings where possible. Plantings that can not be avoided will be replaced with similar. d. Meter Manholes: Three -meter manholes will be installed as shown on plan sheet C 1. Areas selected for manholes will not require the disturb existing plantings. Areas to be reseeded/resodded. e. Reservoir: Installation of reservoir influent and effluent piping, refer to plan sheet C2. 5. Driveway & Parking Lot: Existing drive and parking lot to the North Station will be removed and replaced with new. Location of drive (same location as existing) and parking area is shown on plan sheet C4 and C5. The existing fencing shown on the attached (lower) photograph will be removed. .

I - APPLICATION -- 1995 -0722 PROPERTY -- Leeper Park South Bend; IN - OWNER -- City'of South Bends Parks Dept. &,Water Works DESIGNATION -- LL RATING -- Significant S /12 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE /HISTORIC CONTERT In la95'the City of South Bend purchased a large parcel of land on the east side of Michigan Street for the es.tabli.shment of the hater Works who located and capped artesian wells there, thus, rendering the land usable for recreation. By 1900.the area around the Water Works had become referred to as Leeper Park. The following.ye.ar, extensive plans and site development were undertaken. The zoo and lily pond were constructed in 1902.,_ In 1904 the log cabin was moves} into the park from 123 West Nurthshore Drive. This building was rehabilitated and established as the "Pierre Navarre Cabin ". In 1905 additional lands were acquired between Michigan and Lafayette Street where they developed tennis courts. The following year acreage was added completing the west end of the park and a year after that connecting` wooden bridge was washed away and replaced with a new structure of iron and concrete. By -this time the zoo located at the east end of the part: boasted 132 animals of 50 varieties and the pond in the middle section of -the part: was' - stocked with ducks and geese. In 1911, the Park Board - engaged George Kessler of St Louis for the .-development of•a master plan for the City's park- boulevard system. The present North Pumping Station and its reservoir were constructed in 1912. The present Michigan Street - Bridge was constructed in 1915 as part of the Park - Boulevard plan proposed by George kessl'er. During the Great Depression extensive work was done in the' park funded by tiie Works Progress Administration (WPA) including the reconstruction of the retaining walls around the island which utilized salvage material from the earlier bridge. PROPOSED CHANGE Applicant proposes to install two 3'x4'.stockade fence sections on the south side of the chain link fence surrounding we'll #1 at the North Station well field in Leeper Park. By doing this the applicant hopes to subdue the noise coming from the well. The applicant also proposes to finish off the sections with 2" firring strips,to resemble a barn door. Then on the opposite side, facing the well, there will be 2 "x4'xV styrofoam sheet. STANDARDS The Preservation Guidelines for Local Landmarks: - b) .... The Guidelines for Local Landmarks follow the Rehabilitation Model.... C. Renovation and Additions C.1. Structure Necessary structural improvements, where safety demands should be accomplished in such a way as to cause minimal visual change to the original style and construction. C.2. Construction and'Style All work should be done in the architectural style and in technique CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS STAFF REPORT compatible with that of the original structure. 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. C.3. Material Additions improvements involving any new material in the landmark should be of the material as the original. It should he the same size and texture. An alternative material may be allowed if it duplicates the original. Building Site and Landscaping 2. Recommended New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property in photographs, drawings, and newspapers. RECOMMENDATION The necessity of this improvement arises from concerns of residents in the nearby River -Bend Local Historic District regarding annoying motor noise from pumping equipment at this location. This pump enclosure structure'and comfort station probably dates from around 1950 and is therefore not recorded in - the 1993 IHSSI. Following recent approval of this Water Works pump is noise was found to be disturbing. after shrub planting failed to adequately muffle this noise, Staff worked with Water Works personnel in developing this mock -up of a sound attenuating fence with the intention of making it Appear like a simple w6od gate. The gate is fabricated from stock fence sections with bracing added to reinforce the materiai.to withstand hinge mounting. Tile gate seems to be effective in sound attenuation.' Staff -finds it acceptable as a solution the problem but would-recommend trimming the stockade effect from the top of the gate to be more in keeping with the Georgian building which it abuts. Staff recortvnends approval with the above condition.

The proposal states that those posts and lighting fixttres which are foulid to be whole or. salvageable shall be stored and restored for fixture -or parts 'replacement in other tie i ghhorhoo(ls which retain similar lighting. Though Staff applauds the efforts to improve set-vice in this ni- igliborhood with this proposal, cert.aiit elements of.' the- project require discussion and Analysis. The locations 'of service boxes in-tree lawns is unfortunate though mid- block' locations on side streets may'' present the 'most obscure locations available in a neighborhood generally not served by alleys'. Replacement of posts with higher post design i.; a notable deviat.ion. liowever expressions iri the Guidelines and in the Mayor's Committee's Report indicate a concern for a6ple and even lighting which elevated fixtures will assist.. in providing. ' The most pressing dilemma .is" in the ,is sue of total. removal of actual historic material from the neighborhood (and - expressly - for i e -n ,H" in other neighborhoods) in- preference for r•epr•oduction material which though similar is not the historical original'. This is contrait►d.icated by the guidelines wliich state•that "Whenever possible, original features should he r.ostored. Tf older light fixtures' are taken down in the ci.ty; they should be reserved for use in the historic district ".' Staff acknowledges that this committee may never have considered a r.eliabiIit .program of the scope under review and drat the language of this report implies a more piecemeal appt•oat:l►. However, the obvious conflict between the guidelines and the - present proposal make it .impossible for Staff to rec:onimend "approval. Though time has not permitted caeeful`.Analysis of the DPW's inventory, it appears that with the exception of rust, approximately half of the lighting fixtures are iu "good condition "and approximately one third 'of poles are rated "good ".'We can imagine the possible efficiencies and benefits of tb6 plan as proposed, but: Stuff feels that DPW •CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS STAFF REPORT lne(Yls Lo present reasons why,ta►e eaist:inS original materials should not be' retained. We therefore reconuneiid referral to committee to" clarify the merits. of the proposal and its -devi-ation' from both Lhe guideline' and recoimne�ndations of the Mayors Commi.tLee. Among t reasons for the proposed changes inferred by st - the before mont consideration of increased levels of i.11uminat and the' understandable esthetic desire_ - for uniformity. Staff would recommend the maintenaur.c_ cif aC least ;cane few. c�r.iginal poles - ,end fixtures, Perhaps at special. locations, as ' a solution which might serve all purposes.

POWELL DIRECTOR August 11, 1998 Mr. David Duvall, Director Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and Saint Joseph County Room 1123, County -City Building South Bend, Indiana 46601 Re: Application for Certificate of Appropriateness East Wayne Street Lighting Dear Dave, Thanks for the opportunity to add some information to the application. I will attend the August 17 Commission meeting in the hope that the Commission can make a favorable decision at that meeting. Attached are catalog cuts for the fixture; HWJ -33 -A, from the Herwig line; the concrete pole for general use, DB700x13 from Traditional Concrete; and BP20 from Shakespeare, a fiberglass pole for use on Jefferson Boulevard. We propose to replace all fixtures and posts, as well as all the underground wiring. The new posts will placed in the same position as the existing posts, except that no post will be closer to the curb than two feet and no closer to a driveway than three feet. Four "service points" will be established. Their locations are shown on the drawing. Sixty (60) posts and fixtures will be changed altogether. Six (6) on Jefferson Boulevard between Eddy Street and Sunnyside Avenue will be placed on twenty feet (20') high black (Shakespeare) fiberglass poles. The remainder will be on thirteen feet(13') high gray (Traditional) concrete poles. The lighting source will be one hundred watt, 9500 lumen high pressure sodium. The lighting system will be owned, operated, and maintained by the City of South Bend. The existing system will be transferred to the City from American Electric Power Company. Some of the sixty lights are outside the preservation district boundary. However, they are connected to wiring circuits that serve the district in their greater part. The power company requires the City to install a meter base, disconnect switch, and control system for this lighting.

The wiring has proved itself unreliable under current electrical load. The new system will draw more power through the wiring. The attached 1996 condition survey indicates quite a lot of deterioration since your 1987 survey, even with an eye not as critical as yours. The cost parts and labor to retro -fit the existing lighting fixtures with new parts and conversion to high voltage lighting source far exceeds the cost of a new fixture. There are at least five different shapes of existing poles in the district. There are at least four different kinds of lighting fixtures. The most common type of pole is the concrete "spincast" pole, which was once manufactured in South Bend. This proposal is to use all new "spincast" poles in this district, except for Jefferson Boulevard. A copy of the August, 1990 report of the Mayor's Streetlight Advisory Committee is attached for the Commission's review and possibly reminiscence. The advisory committee recommended high pressure sodium lighting in all historic districts and fiberglass replica of black cast iron poles in the East Wayne district. This proposal follows the recommendation regarding the light source, but not for the poles. The reason for this is because the concrete "spincast" pole is the predominate pole in the district at the time of formation. It is also available at half the cost of fiberglass and more durable under the variety of severe weather conditions which the poles can expect to be subjected during the next fifty years or so. The items removed from the district will be repaired where possible and/or used as replacement parts for facilities in East Wayne or other areas of the city where the same or similar equipment is used. Only items found to be damaged beyond repair or usefulness as replacement parts will be recycled to other forms. I am looking forward to the meeting on the 17th. If you or a Commissioner have questions in the interim, please call me at 235 -5937. Sincerely, Carl P. Littrell, PE City Engineer Enclosures Catalog Cuts Condition Survey Committee Report r • 4 . H = S TOR = C S TREETL = GHT COMM Z TTEE �r0 = JOSEPH E. KERNAN DATE = AUGUST ,1990 FROM = MAYOR'S HISTORIC STREETLIGHT COMMITTEE TOM BRUNNER, CHAIRMAN RE : RECOMMENDATION ON THE REPAIR AND /OR REPLACEMENT OF "HISTORIC" STREETLIGHTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY In response to the concern raised by residents of certain City neighborhoods in which historic streetlights are located, that damaged or otherwise non - functional streetlights were being replaced by the Indiana & Michigan Power Company with a less attractive, utilitarian model, composed of a "toothpick" pole of either fiberglass or concrete, and a known to I &M as the "Town and Country" model, the Mayor created informal committee - "The Mayor's Historic Streetlight Committee" - and charged this group with the responsibility of making recommendations about future repair and /or replacement of such historic streetlights. Appointed to the Streetlight Committee were the following individuals: Member Mr. Thomas Brunner, Chairman Mr. Brian Crumlish Ms. Jean Dennen Ms. Maureen Marnocha Mr. John Oxian Ms. Pam Chipman Ms. Jenny Manier Mr. Jim Caldwell Mr. John Leszczynski Mr. Jim Cartwright Mr. Steve Luecke Mr. Larry DeLaruelle Representinq Riverside Drive East Wayne Street Bronson Street Historic Preservation Commission Harter Heights City Attorney's Office Mayor's Office Public Works Indiana & Michigan Power Co. City Council Edgewater Mr. Michael Meeks, P.E., of the City's engineering department also provided technical and other assistance to the Committee. The Committee first met on March 15, 1990 and then again on April 18th, June 12th, June 28th, and August 8th. As an overview, the neighborhoods within which historic streetlights are located include, the Riverside Drive Historic District, Park Avenue, Harter Heights, Northshore Boulevard Historic District, the Edgewater Historic District, the East Wayne Street Historic District, and the Sunnymede area of the City, including streets such as Sunnymede Avenue and Bronson Street. It is estimated that approximately 350 historic streetlights are located throughout these neighborhoods. The Committee's initial discussions soon made clear that throughout and even within these various neighborhoods Mayor Joseph E. Kernan August 1990 Page Two there exists a variety of types of historic streetlights, including those with round glass globes (in Harter Heights and Park Avenue, primarily), those with a lantern - type fixture, those with decorative concrete poles, and those with decorative cast iron poles. According to Mr. Oxian, the cast iron pole and fixture was original in older city neighborhoods, including the Riverside Drive, and Edgewater Historic Districts and on Park Avenue. Concrete poles were a later addition. The Committee's initial discussions concerned, in part, the relative merits of reconstructing, repairing, and upgrading the existing streetlights, a wholesale replacement of the streetlights, or some sort of combined program. Also discussed was the integrity, or lack thereof, of the streetlighting system on Riverside Drive. Mr. Jim Cartwright, of I &M, indicated his opinion that the wiring of this system was in such poor condition that a total replacement was in order. The Committee decided fairly early in its deliberations to select one (1) or two (2) replacement streetlights for those which were or which later became damaged beyond repair. In an effort to arrive at a consensus, Mr. Michael Meeks, provided the Committee with information on various types of poles, fixtures and lamps (bulbs). Pole Briefly, the Committee considered four types of poles: a cast iron pole, a cast aluminum pole, a concrete pole, and a fiberglass pole. The following chart summarizes the costs and relative merits of the various poles: Cost: Foundation: Paint: Cast Iron $1,000 $ 200 yes Cast Aluminum $ 500 $ 200 no poor Concrete $1,000 n/a no good Fiberqlass $ 700 n/a no fair Durability: -- good Adding to the cost of the cast iron and cast aluminum poles is the fact that neither can be buried directly in the earth, as each requires a poured concrete foundation. Adding to the cost of the decorative concrete pole is the transportation costs, which are not insignificant. A benefit associated with the fiberglass pole, in addition to the fact that it was a direct burial pole, is the fact that it can be installed by one (1) individual, whereas the same is not true of the cast iron and concrete poles. , . Mayor Joseph Kernan August , 1990 Page Three Fixture: In addition to poles, the Committee discussed fixtures. As noted above, the historic streetlights currently existing, are fitted with either a globe or lantern -type fixture. The Committee expressed a desire to retain the globe fixtures in Harter Heights and on Park Avenue, but was otherwise content with the lantern -type fixture in other areas of the City. Mr. Meeks was able to obtain for the Committee's review an old fixture* that recently had been restored by Riverside Drive resident J. Edward Talley. Mr. Meeks was also able to obtain a newly manufactured fixture which greatly resembled Mr. Talley's reconditioned fixture. well. The Committee considered the following light sources, with the merits of each noted as follows: Lamp The Committee also considered lamps for the fixtures. Currently, most, if not all, of the historic streetlights are fit with incandescent bulbs as the source. The Committee was informed by both Mr. Meeks and Mr. Cartwright that the incandescent bulb was an inefficient light source and has a very short, useful life, making it inefficient from a maintenance point of view as Metal Halide Hours: 4 -7,000 Color: White Other: Shifting light H. P. Sodium 24,000 Yellow efficient Mercury Vapor 20- 24,000 Blue falling lumen output w/ age Incandescent 4,000 White inefficient Mr. Oxian noted that there was some opposition to the high Pressure sodium bulbs in local historic districts as the bulb's yellow light results in a yellow cast to all it illuminates, thereby hiding the true color of houses in the districts. He did concede, however, that there were high pressure sodium bulbs illuminating Tippecanoe Place. Although the metal halide bulb seemed preferable, Mr. Meeks noted a few of its drawbacks, including the fact that the technology of the bulb is fairly new and not a lot was known about its performance capacity, that fact the I &M has no tariff for metal halide, which would mean metering such service, and the added cost of installing such meters. After discussing the above options, the Committee directed Mr. Meeks to obtain from streetlight manufactures /distributors, two (2) newly manufactured replica historic streetlights, one to consist of a decorative fiberglass pole made to resemble a decorative cast iron pole, and to be fitted with a glass globe fixture and a high pressure sodium bulb. The other streetlight was to consist of a decorative fiberglass pole made to resemble a decorative concrete pole, and to be fit with a lantern -type fixture and a high pressure Mayor Joseph Kernan August , 1990 Page Four sodium bulb. Mr. Meeks indicated that he would have these streetlights installed on either side of the streetlight located at the corner or Riverside Drive and Golden Street, which streetlight was fit with the old lantern fixture that has been reconditioned and fit with a metal halide bulb by Ed Talley. on the night of June 12th, the Committee met at the intersection of Riverside and Golden to view the two (2) replica streetlights, as well as the metal halide bulb that had been installed in the "Ed Talley fixture." At the conclusion of the meeting, Committee members agreed to poll their neighbors and meet again, on June 28th. Pole At the June 28th meeting, it became apparent that the pole preferred by Committee members and those whom they polled, was the black fiberglass pole made to resemble a cast iron pole. There was no support for the "concrete" fiberglass pole. There was additional discussion about whether the Committee felt that existing concrete poles and existing fixtures should be repaired as they became damaged, or whether they should be replaced with new, decorative concrete poles, or whether they should be replaced by the "cast iron" fiberglass pole as they became damaged. Mr. Meeks and Mr. Cartwright both indicated, again, that there was little ' likelihood of repairing existing concrete poles. Both men indicated that although the exterior of such a pole may "look good," most were deteriorated internally to such an extent that rewiring would be impossible. Mr. Meeks also indicated that it was quite likely that few such poles would survive intact being extracted from the ground, that they were likely to break at the base, rendering them useless. Fixture: The Committee was also uniformly supportive of selecting as a replacement fixture, both the globe fixture (for use, primarily, in Harter Heights and on Park Avenue) and the lantern fixture. Lamp The Committee and those polled, were less uniform in their support of a single light source. Most of the Committee members indicated a preference for the high pressure sodium lamp, some expressing surprise with their preference, having expected to prefer the metal halide because of its white light. Those preferring the sodium pressure lamp indicated a dislike for the perceived "harshness" of the metal halide lamp, finding the high pressure sodium light more suited to residential areas. Mr. Cartwright confirmed that the high pressure sodium light was the standard light source used in residential areas, with the metal halide used for sites such as the Coveleski Stadium and other commercial uses. L Mayor Joseph Kernan August 1990 Page Five Mr. Crumlish noted a preference among those Riverside Drive residents with whom he spoke for the metal halide lamp. Ms. Dennen indicated that some of her neighbors preferred the whiteness of the metal halide lamp, although they found it too bright. Mr. Crumlish's comments underscored a somewhat prevalent theme throughout the Committee's deliberations, that special safety concerns pertain to Riverside Drive, due to the the relatively high speed and volume of traffic as compared to most, if not all, of the other neighborhoods in question. During the course of discussions, Mr. Luecke and Mr. Crumlish often pointed out that the desire of the Riverside Drive residents to have more lighting was as important as their desire to retain the aesthetically pleasing historic streetlights themselves. Conversely, the concerns of the representatives from the Sunnymede, Harter Heights and East Wayne areas leaned more toward the aesthetics of the light fixtures than the light they yielded, these representatives seeming to prefer the "soft, subdued," light of the incandescent bulbs. It was their belief that the high pressure sodium bulbs more closely addressed these concerns. Mr. Meeks and Mr. Leszczynski noted their need, as engineers, to consider the streetlights as light sources, and not merely as aesthetic features. Both Mr. Meeks and Mr. Leszczynski indicated that the need for more lighting along Riverside Drive could be satisfied by using high pressure sodium bulbs. Mr. Crumlish and Ms. Dennen agreed that for the sake of consensus, and given the absence of an I & M tariff for - metal halide lights, that a committee decision to recommend the high pressure sodium lamp was acceptable. The Committee then discussed the process for installing the replacement poles. Mr. Caldwell and Mr. Meeks indicated that the City was considering removing all existing streetlights from Riverside Drive in order that the streetlight wiring could be replaced. The new replacement fixture selected by the.Committee would then be installed along Riverside Drive. Those poles and fixtures removed from Riverside Drive would be used, to the extent possible, to replace "toothpick" poles, Town and Country fixtures and /or deteriorating, existing historic streetlights in other areas throughout the City, with the exception of the Edgewater and Historic District, and along Park Avenue, in which districts the -selected replacement fixture would be used to replace damaged, non- functional streetlights. Given Mr. Oxian's information that cast-iron streetlights were original to these two (2) areas, and the desire expressed by the other neighborhoods to repair and maintain the decorative concrete poles as long as intelligibly possible, it was seen as logical to designate the Edgewater and Park Avenue areas as the first to receive the replacement fixture. Mayor Joseph Kernan August 1990 Page Six with respect to the proposal to use the poles and fixtures removed from Riverside Drive to service and /or replace other similar fixtures, Mr. Meeks again noted the likelihood that few concrete poles would remain intact and useful once removed from the ground, being very likely to break or be rendered otherwise useless as a result of the removal itself. Additionally, Mr. Cartwright expressed his doubt that the replacement fiberglass pole would be able to support an old lantern fixture. For example, if an existing concrete pole on Bronson street became damaged and was replaced with a fiberglass pole, it was unlikely that the existing, old fixture could be used, as the new fiberglass pole would be unable to support its weight. Thus, if no replacement concrete pole were available to replace the damaged pole, the new fiberglass pole would have to be fit with a new lantern -type fixture, which, of course, would leave the existing fixture available to serve as a replacement fixture. Finally, the Committee considered, without arriving at a recommendation, the desirability of transferring from I &M to the City the responsibility for maintaining the historic streetlighting system. Among the options were to transfer ownership of the system to the City, along with maintenance of the same, or to transfer ownership of the system to the City with I &M retaining responsibility, for a fee, of the maintenance of the system. Also discussed, briefly, without conclusion or recommendation, was the manner in which the cost of maintaining and /or replacing the historic streetlight system as recommended would be borne by the City and /or others. Recommendation: The Mayor's Historic Streetlight Committee makes the following recommendations: 1. That the preservation of the character of those neighborhoods throughout the City in which historic streetlights remain, through the preservation, repair and replacement of those streetlights, - -be a priority of the administration. 2. That the proposals contained herein for the preservation, repair and replacement of existing historic streetlights serve as a guide for the re- introduction of such streetlights into other neighborhoods throughout the City that were once served by similar lighting systems. 3. That the replacement of damaged or inoperable historic streetlights with a streetlight composed of a "toothpick" pole of either fiberglass of concrete, and a "Town and Country" fixture, or any pole and /or fixture resembling the same, cease immediately. M Mayor Joseph E. Kernan August , 1990 Page Seven 4. That all existing streetlights located in the Riverside Drive Historic District be removed and that the wiring and other subterranean components of that system be replaced or otherwise upgraded. 5. That all existing streetlights in the Riverside Drive Historic District be replaced by a replica historic streetlight to consist of a black, decorative fiberglass pole, similar to the Presidential model manufactured by the Shakespeare Company of Newberry, South Carolina and made to resemble a black cast iron pole, and a new lantern -type fixture, similar to the Edgewater fixture manufactured by the Spring City Electrical Manufacturing Company of Spring City, Pennsylvania. 6. That the Riverside Drive replacement streetlights, as well as all replacement historic streetlights, be fit with a high pressure sodium bulb, of a wattage designed to provide light of an intensity and luminosity sufficient for the particular needs of that neighborhood. The Committee recommends that the City's engineering department consider increasing the current lighting, whether by'the installation of additional streetlights, or the usage of a higher wattage bulb, existing in the Riverside Drive Historic District. 7. That as existing streetlights on Park Avenue and in the Edgewater Historic Districts become damaged or otherwise non - functional, they be replaced by a replica historic streetlight. In each of these areas, the pole to be used is a black, decorative fiberglass pole, similar to the Presidential model manufactured by the Shakespeare Company and made to resemble a black cast iron pole. On Park Avenue, the fixture to be used is a new globe fixture, similar to the model manufactured by the Shakespeare Company and resembling those currently in place on Park Avenue. In Edgewater, the fixture to be used is a new lantern -type fixture, similar to the Edgewater fixture manufactured by the Spring City Electrical Manufacturing Company. 8. That the decorative concrete poles and fixtures removed from the Riverside Drive and Edgewater Historic Districts be used, to the extent possible, to replace the Town and Country model streetlights recently used as replacement lights in the Northshore Boulevard and East Wayne Street Historic Districts and.the Harter Heights and Sunnymede areas, and to replace existing, but damaged, historic streetlights located there. 9. That, when no such replacement streetlights or components are available to replace or repair damaged historic streetlights in the Northshore Boulevard and East Wayne Street Historic Districts and Harter Heights and Sunnymede areas,* replacement streetlights be installed. In each of these areas, the Mayor Joseph E. Kernan August , 1990 Page Eight pole to be used is a black, decorative fiberglass pole, similar to the Presidential model manufactured by the Shakespeare Company and made to resemble a black cast iron pole. In Harter Heights, the fixture to be used is a new globe fixture, similar to the model manufactured by the Shakespeare Company and resembling those currently in place on Park Avenue. In the Northshore Boulevard and East Wayne Street Historic Districts and in the Sunnymede area, the fixture to be used is a new lantern -type fixture, similar to the Edgewater fixture manufactured by the Spring City Electrical Manufacturing Company. 10. That, to the extent possible, input into the selection of the exact replacement pole and fixture be solicited from the St. Joseph County Historical Preservation Society.

Around 1988, the Berkeley Corporation in conjunction with,Belinda'and Phil • Albert opened the Yesterday's Food & Spirits.restaurant, which the Berkeley Corporation - eventually sold to the Alberts, thus the continuity of ownership for the - collective farmyard buildings. At' the same time the overall legal description of the Landmark'was reduced from its original approximate 4.5 acres -to approximately 1.6 acres occupied by -two approximately equal lots, one with the house and another with the barn and other assorted outbuildings.

Mr.- Duvall presented the staff report and circulated maps of the proposed district. Mr. - Oxian opened the floor to discussion and questions concerning the proposed historic district...Mr. 'Johnson, owner of the house at 515 S.'• Carroll Street: stated that he_ has submitted a request to the City South, Bend to build a garage and, wondered how. having the house designated 'as historic, would affect this. Mr. Oxian asked how soon the garage would be built. -Mr. Johnson stated that he wanted to have it finished with in the next couple of years. Mr. Oxian asked if Mr. Johnson had obtained a building permit. Mr. Johnson stated that he had : not gotten a building permit, however,' he has had the location of the Proposed by the City. Mr. Oxian stated that the Commission generally allow garages to be built because they are a necessity and are located in the rear of the property. He further noted that if the garage was'built after the district was designated then the plans for the.�garage would have to be approved by the Commission but, if the garage was built before the neighborhood became a district then -it would be' considered part of the district upon its designation. Mr. Johnson asked if the garage was built after the designation of the district what would need to be done to get approval for the ,project. Mr. Oxian stated that the first thing the owner would have to do would bring the project before the Commission.- Mr. Oxian" stated that -the Commission would need to know the location of the garage, its size, and style, basically the same things that would to be submitted to the Building. Department. He further stated that, generally speaking, what ever projects the Commission approves is commonly approved by the.Building Department, unless -it becomes a case concerning public safety. n �' 1 Mr. Johnson asked if the style-of the garage would have to be historical: Mr. Fine stated that 'the, garage -would not have to be historical and that there will, be guidelines issued to help owners understand what is appropriate and", - what' is inappropriate. Mr. Duvall interjected .that the owners will have a - chance to,participate in the development of•the guidelines for their Historic District. Oxian stated that the guidelines are drawn • up by a Committee, after the district is. formed and that until the guidelines are finished the district would follow a general set of standards. Mr: Oxian 'stated that guidelines vary - from district to district do to their various needs and architectural stock.__He noted _ that the- Commissions ultimate goal- would be• - to have a set of guidelines that would apply to all districts equally. Mr. ' Johnson stated that he was the- at the South'Bend Civic Theater, which is' a Local -Landmark, so, he is..familiar with the Commission I and guidelines, however, he was still unclear about whether or not permission would - be needed - to remove a The Commissioners stated that permission is needed to _.remove trees. Mr. Oxian noted that it would 'depend'on the districts specific guidelines, -for example, in the East Wayne Street - District the - tree has to be a certain size before its removal would have to be.-approved, while in other . districts, such - as Riverside Drive, all trees, regardless of their size, need - a permit. There was' some discussion over various tree situations that would_ and would not require a permit, from the Historic Preservation Commission. Mr. Johnson asked if a tree was damaged by lightening would-a permit be required to remove it. Mr. Oxian, stated that a permit would be required, but-the tree would most likely comedown. Mr. Duvall stated that removal of a damaged -tree• could be approved by the Commission Staff and would not have to go before the Commission itself. A discussion was held concerning -a tree removed at the South Bend Civic Theater and the length of time 'it took to get the removal approved. Mr. Oxian stated the Commission has changed some of its requirements by allowing the Staff to approve in -kind replacements. thus: ,saving time and energy Mr. Johnson asked if the Commission had anv restrictions concerning house colors. Mr. Oxian stated that the Commission does not get involved- in the- deciding of house colors because it is a temporary change. Mr. Duvall stated that the Staff would assist any home' who wants help in selecting paint colors for their house'. Mr. Johnson - stated that his house has the old asphalt shingle siding and that some day he may want to replace it and was wondering if vinyl_ siding would be an option. Mr. Oxian stated that it would depend on the situation,' i.e., the condition'of'the original siding under the asphalt and the cost of rehabilitation versus the cost of new siding. He went on to state that the day the ordinance passes, designating the district, is the day the Commission making judgments. Mr. Johnson stated that- he would be interested in participating in the formation of the guidelines. Mrs. Choitz asked if Mr. Johnson had a complete set of guidelines for the, Civic Theater. Mr. Johnson, stated that he did not. Mr. Duvall stated that the Landmark guidelines are very brief and that the. Staff will send him a copy. Mr. Oxian-asked if anyone else had any questions. Maria Kaczmarek, from the Dismas House at 521 S.'

He further, stated that since the City Government is behind the designation of this district., might not be a bad idea to contact Redevelopment and try to set up a type of revolving door.loan fund. Mr. Duvall stated that the Bureau of Housing has assistance funds, for_ home owners, --however, restoration funds and grants are not connected with local designation, a,house -would have to be eligible on its own for the National Register to qualify f such fund Ms. Kaczmarek, stated tha t he neighborhood can be revitalized, but, it will need help.,Mr. "Oxian stated that- the City does not want to have anymore destruction of houses 'or anymore commercial interference in the Taylor 'Field area.

Leeper Park Historic Preservation Plan Presentation Camille Fife noted that the Westerly Group has received a number of comments from Commission members regarding the Leeper Park Plan draft that was submitted,at an earlier date. Mrs Fife introduced herself as the president of 'the Westerly Group' and her partner, Tom Salmon. Mrs. Fife stated that_ she wanted to briefly run through the plan and to give a better. perspective and 'understanding of it. She also thanked Mr. ; Talley for his historical research on Leeper Park and briefly noted that the history in the plan'was meant to be informative`, but, not exhaustive. She went on to note that Mr. Oxian had made a good suggestion -concerning the fact that the Powell House had been omitted from'the Plan and that it needed to be added to the final draft. Mr. Oxian discussed the reasons why Powell House was moved to Leeper Park. He also stated that because it'no longer exists it needs to be remembered in the.plan so.that it will not be forgotten. Mrs. Fife responded agreement with Mr. Oxian and noted that the Westerly Group had also found mistake in the plan where it implies that there are no' Bever era plants evident today, - is an incorrect•statement. Mrs. Fife circulated maps from development - eras - of the park and showed the overlay 'map system they had developed to 'better display the, progress the park has made over the 'past 90 years. - A discussion was held concerning the age of the trees in Leeper Park. Mr. Salmon stated that the most popular way to find the .age of a - tree is by coring it which in his opinion; destructive and often .leads .to the demise of the. tree.' Ile further noted that in Germany a new device where a tiny hole is drilled into a tree and an instrument was inserted which judged the age of the tree. There was some more discussion over the aging of trees. Mrs. Fife reported that the analysis section of the plan,divides the history of Leeper Park into key significant periods.' The first period deals with 1878 to 1894, which is the park before any major impact on the land. The second period is 1895 to 1911, which is referred to as the Beyer era. Mrs. Fife referred the Commission to a plan, made by Beyer in 1905, for Leeper Park. There was some discussion over the Beyer era plantings and additions to the park. Mr. Fine asked what percentage of Bever era plants still exist today. Mrs. Fife stated that she had not calculated a percentage, but, that there are ; a surprisingly large amount still existing. Mr..Sporleder noted that during the' Beyer period there was a carriage drive under the Michigan Street bridge that connected -both sides of Leeper Park. A discussion was held about this :fact and the possibility -of its reconstruction. 4 " The third period outlines "1912 to 1941,,which is called the George Kessler and _ Works Progress Administration (WPA), eras. " Mrs. Fife referred to the overlay map,of the George Kessler plan for Leeper park. There was some discussion over how much of - Mr. Kesslers plan had been implemented. Mrs. Fife stated that the Westerly Group believes that parts of, the Beyer Plan were retained when portions" of Mr. Kesslers plan were implemented.' A discussion was held concerning = this issue. Mr. Duvall noted that the reservoir was a vestige of the Beyer Plan. There was some discussion over the elements that George Kessler brought to the" development of Leeper Park. 'The strongest themes that., Kessler brought_ t o the park-was-the ens e_of -land- use =and long- elegant- curved elementp. Mr. Duvall noted that the screen behind the North pumping station were Lombardy Poplars in the 1926 to' 1929 aerial map. Mr. Salmon stated that "the Poplars were of'a mature age in that photograph and -are generally short lived trees. Mr. Duvall stated that it might be-a good idea to'add such a screening system ,around the North"Pumping Station. There was some discussion over a hedge type screening. Mrs. Fife stated that the time period 'from 1988 to 1941 is-most commonly associated with the work done by the WPA. Mrs. Fife discussed some of the work done by'the WPA, such as the retaining walls around 'the island. Mrs. Fife 'stated that the last -era is- 1941 to the present. There was some. discussion over items that were lost such as the wading pool and rose garden. Mrs. Fife referred the Commission to a 1954 map of the park as.to what was and was not completed of the Kessler Plan.. Then she an,existing conditions map of the park for -1998 to be compared with their preservation plan for Leeper Park. There was some _discussion over the contents of the existing conditions map. Mr. "Salmon stated that this map did not note anything below ground, such as utilities. He then went on to note areas of erosion and poor growth 'do to over use incorrect use and over zealous caretakers. There 'was some discussion over the need for additional parking to deal with the publics dependency on automobiles and the need for an easier method to traverse between both,sides of the park. $Mrs. Fife asked if anyone wanted to see the pre - archaeological map of Leeper Park. The Commission responded affirmatively. There was some discussion over the map and possible places for archaeological.investigatiori. Mr. Ox,ian noted that Water, Works -is going to dig up a pipe near the pumping, station and, that may be "a good time for an archaeological excavation of that area_. He also noted that it might be a good idea to have an archaeological i nvestigation done on the park before anything else is done-to the park. Both Mrs. - Fife -and Mr. Salmon "agreed with, Mr. Oxian. Mrs. Choitz stated that Colonial - Williamsburg was - using new techniques in doing landscape _archaeology and wondered if Mrs: Fife had any connections with the people doing this work that% might bring it to South Bend. Mrs., Fife' stated that she did not know the current director but was familiar with the past director. 5 i Duvall stated that -Water Works has expressed the need to install an overflow - for - the reservoir. He noted that in- his discussions with them concerning where the water should be discharged his thoughts were leaning toward the loeation of the old_ wading pool. There was. some discussion over- what the overflow would do and how it would affect the reconstruction of the wading pool, which was recommendation number eleven. Mr. Duvall stated that it would only, be used pressure release' or in case of 'a major event. He also noted that it would be large in size and if it - was - used it would dispel chlorinated water which is' why they do not want to dump it into the river. Mr. Talley asked if the p would b - buried_._.�1r._Duvall—stated_ that— the - -pipe ivouTd travel down the. side of the r d _ eservoir an' run on top of. the ground to a •.flow, out point. Mr. Salmon stated that there was a horrible smell coming from'a lift station alongside Riverside Drive near the proposed play ground which needs to be remedied.. There was some discussion over the smell, wells in general, the lack' of drinking fountains'and the need for a lower speed 'limit on Riverside Drive. Mrs. Choitz stated the speed limit used to by only _15 miles an hour until the 1950s when it was raised. Mrs. Fife presented the new preservation plan for Leeper Park. She noted the first change proposed would be moving the playground from its present'location to the corner of Riverside Drive and N. Lafayette Boulevard. The second recommendation is . the rehabilitation of the baseball diamond. -Mr. Salmon asked if a parking lot was indeed going in next to the field house. Mr. Talley stated that he has been unable to ascertain• exactly what is going on there, however, it is most likely going to be a parking lot. The third, fourth and sixth recommendations are the rehabilitation and realignment of trails and paths.- There was some discussion_ over. the „rehabilitation of the riverside trail and the problems it would pose with the trees, and general maintenance. Mr. Salmon discussed a sidewalk that was proposed along Riverside Drive to Michigan Street that would cause the removal of,many healthy trees. There was also'discussion of the possibility of putting a sidewalk on the north side of Riverside Drive. that would pass under the Michigan Street Bridge. This .brought up'a discussion over the amount of erosion that has.occurred along the Leeper Park river front. Mrs. Fife responded to these concerns -by rioting that the restoration of the sea wall around the island is a main feature of Westerly Groups' preservation plan for the park. ' Mr. Oxian noted that, the Water Works Department has repaired the part - of the wall which falls under their "jurisdiction and that they would like to see the rest'of the wall fixed. Mrs. Fife stated that for anything to truly be accomplished it would take a combined effort of many agencies. The fifth recommendation was the rehabilitation of- the formal garden. Mr. Salmon noted that there will be an appendix in the final plan that' will contain all the proposed plantings for the gardens. The - seventh recommendation is the reconstruction and restoration of statuary and fountains. Mr. Duvall asked if - Mrs. Fife was' recommending the replacement of the'art that was currently in storage. Mrs. Fife stated that she has not seen the condition- of the original statuary. Mr. Salmon stated that he - did not think vandalism was "a problem in the park and -that using the originals would. be- the first choice, however, 'if- this, is -not - a favorable option then replication of the - statuary would be acceptable. There was a discussion over the bridge lights on Leeper bridge. Mr.' Oxian stated that reintroducing the original style of lighting to the bridge should be a part,of the preservation plan. A discussion was held concerning what the 6 original lights looked light and the - whereabouts of one- of the original lights,. Mrs. Fife reported that recommendations nine and ten were-the rehabilitation and introduction parking spaces. Mrs. Fife stated that the twelfth recommendation was the relocation of the play apparatus to the corner of Riverside Drive and 'N. Lafayette Street. .Diane-Corbett expressed concern over moving the playground to such a busy and- uns area .__Mr _Salmon — stated — that —a— green — chain link - - fend has bee -,i proposed -to enclose the play area for the safety of the children and that the ,children would use the same crosswalks they are using now- A discussion was held regarding the esthetics of placing' a fence on the proposed corner. Mrs. C'brbett interjected that the proposed area was too small. Mr. Salmon stated that it could be 'expanded all the way to the tennis courts. Mrs. Corbett - stated that the area being proposed is an excellent place to watch tennis matches and the noise from the new play area may cause distractions for the various tennis tournaments held there. There was a dialogue and discussion between Mrs. Corbett and Mr. Salmon concerning the safety of the existing playground and the proposed playground. Mrs. Fife interjected that the main concern in the move was the erosion being caused at its current location and how it disrupts the esthetics of the central portion of the park. She further 'stated that she truly appreciates such comments and then she tried again to explain the reasons behind the move, such as the deterioration. There was some more bantering over the proposed move of the playground and'the chain ,link.,, fence. Mr's. Choitz stated that she would not- vote in favor of the proposed location for the playground. Mrs. Fife" stressed that this plan was "only a preliminary report and that. the, ultimate decisions would rest with the Commission and residents: She then opened the floor to further questions' concerning'all of'the recommendations and asked the Commission -what the next steps would be. Mr. Sporleder, expressed the desire-for the restoration of the riverside .trail and a need for a path connecting both sides of the park. Mr. Salmon asked what direction the Westerly Group should be headed in as far as the completion of the final document. He further asked if the playground should be-left off the final document. Mr. Oxian stated that the playground'.' recommendation should be included regardless of its controversial nature.. Mr. Talley interjected that he" believed the playground was in the wrong spot' currently and does need to be addressed. He further noted that since baseball was prohibited at its location in Leeper Park, that -the baseball diamond might be a better location for the -play ground. There was some discussion over the' erosion at the play grounds current location.. Mr. Oxian stated that the _Commission has its own minimum maintenance standards that can be put forth to correct the erosion problem. There was some discussion over what the- Parks Department - is going to say about the preservation plan. Mr. Talley expressed his satisfaction with the proposed plan and 'that he. believes that all 14. points mentioned are good recommendations. Mr. Duvall stated, that some level of prioritization is needed for the plan, but, it should kept simple. 7 I Mrs. Fife asked if once revisions were complete should a copy for review and approval prior to having the rest of the copies made. Mr. Duvall stated- that four copies of the final, approved plan need to be provided to the Department of Historic 'Preservation and •Archaeology by August' 30th.
