The applicant is requesting to install the K-30 perm post kit, Pacific Gas Specialties Grill, in the rear yard, next to the kitchen door. The staff finds the proposed grill to be an acceptable, temporary element that will not be visible from the street. The owner is also proposing to pave the dirt area next to the garage that currently has only an air conditioning unit on it, with either patio pavers or a poured concrete pad. The staff finds this request will improve the area with out damaging or removing any major landscape features, thus, the staff recommends approval of the patio. The applicant is also requesting that Arbor Vitae be planted along the neighbors backyard fence as well as removing the overgrown shrubs in front of the garage and along the west property line adjacent to the park and replacing them with Arbor Vitae shrubs. The staff believes the proposed alterations will help unify the otherwise overgrown landscaping as well as help stabilize the backyard from erosion.

Wayne Street North Property Owner: Greg & Monica Anderson Landmark or District Designation: LHD-EW Rating: C/10 Key Number: Survey Number: 141-57185.7-597 18-6107-3803 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT Developers, Whitcomb and Keller built this H.R. Stapp designed, Tudor Revival style house in 1926. They rented the house to Otto Pfaff, secretary/treasurer of the American Foundry Equipment Company in Mishawaka. Otto and his wife, Kathleen, only resided at this address for one year after which the house was rented to various people until 1931 when it was sold to Albert Kendall. Mr. Kendall continued to use the house as a rental, leasing it to Benjamin and Sydell Traub in 1934. Mr. Traub was the president and founder of the Interstate Glass and Paint Company. They resided here until 1936 when they relocated to 1219 E. Wayne South. -Mr. -Kendall -sold -the -house -that -same year to Philip Sanders, co-founder and superintendent for the Sobenite Company which made plastic products for cars, such as, radio knobs, door handles and cigarette lighters. Mr. and Mrs. Sanders resided here until 1949 when they sold the property to Dr. John R. and Virginia Lionberger. Dr. Lionberger practiced at Radiology Inc.

Mr. Buechler was a salesman for Marathon Oil, he and his wife resided here until 1984 when they sold the property to the current owners, Greg and Monica Anders. PROPOSED CHANGE(S) The Applicant is proposing to construct a full basement under and existing rear family room addition. The foundation walls will be made of concrete block to match the existing foundation. The owner is also proposing to add three basement windows on the south fagade and two basement windows on the west fagade to provide egress. REFERENCE TO GOVERNING STANDARDS: Restoration: Rehabilitation: The Preservation Guidelines for East Wayne Street Local Historic District: b) ... The Guidelines for the East Wayne Street Historic District follow the Rehabilitation Model.... III. New Construction A. Height and Proportion II.A. Recommended Contemporary designs should be compatible in character and mood to the building or neighborhood. B. Building Material in New Construction III.B. Required Materials used on an addition to an existing structure shall relate to the existing or original materials of that structure. 0j, RECOMMENDATION The owners are proposing to construct an 8'8" concrete block basement under a rear single story addition using 10"x20" concrete footings with 2 1/2" re -rods, 16"x 8"x 8" concrete blocks 13 rows high, three pilasters to grade, 4" concrete floor, and three 8"x 2'x 2' column footings. The applicant also intends to install five egress windows, three located on the southern exposure and two on the western exposure. The windows to be located on the south side will have one center fixed window and two outer casement style windows, each will be 24" wide and V' tall. The windows on the west side of the addition will both be casement, each being 28"x 36". All windows will be Marvin, white aluminum clad, with 6"x 6" treated, window wells all at grade level. The applicant is proposing to construct a basement that will not be visible from the street. The proposed material will match the existing basement walls and the intended windows will match the existing windows on the house. The installation of the windows will require the removal to two Burning Bushes located on the south side of the addition, however, none of the landscaping is visible from the street, nor, is it a part of the historical fabric of the house. The staff finds that the proposed project will not negatively affect the historic fabric of the house or property and will not be visible from the street, thus, the staff recommends approval. "MYRYDRIDliN We have a house built in 1926 that, prior to our ownership, had most of its' decorative trim covered with aluminum siding and aluminum storm windows. Only four original windows remain - all others were replaced, also prior to our ownership. There was a family room added to the back of the house in the early 1970's on a crawl space. The entire addition is backset from the rest of the house - see photos #2 and #4 - and foundation is not visible from the street. Existing crawl space foundation is concrete block, future basement, walls will also be of concrete block. Only visible difference will be the basement windows. The southern exposure will have -a bank of 3 windows, middle window being stationary. Flanking two windows will be casement type. These three windows will each be 24" wide x 36" tall. The western exposure will have two casement windows, each 28" x 36" tall. These will provide egress. All windows will be Marvin aluminum clad white. Both window wells will be constructed using 611x 6" treated landscape timbers and will be level with grade. Hopefully I have anticipated any concerns you might have. Your swift action would be greatly appreciated in this manner due to impending cold weather that could further delay the project. Thank you for your consideration.

Not To Scale STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Application Number: Property Location: 1999-1029 701 Riverside Drive Property Owner: Julia DesLauriers Landmark or District Designation: LHD-RSD Rating: C/9 Key Number: Survey Number: 141-597-46354 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT This house was constructed in 1895 by developers, Whitcomb and Hammond, as rental property. They sold the house to William Mack in 1907 for $3,800.00. Mr. Mack and his family owned the house for eight years, during which time they also used it as a rental. The Mack family sold the house in 1915 to Edward A. Mechling, who sold it three years later to Frank O. Camp. Mr. Camp rented the house out for two years, selling it to Albert Leopold in 1920. Mr. Leopold sold the house that same year to Burton Oliver. Mr. & Mrs. Oliver were the first owners to actually reside in this house, living there until 1944. Mr. Oliver was the vice president and manager of Oakland Motor Sales Company. Mrs. Oliver was a teacher in the South Bend Public School system. In 1944 the couple moved to Kalamazoo, Michigan, where Mrs. Oliver had been offered a teaching job at Western Michigan University. When they left they rented the house to Irving G. Albert, a mail clerk. Mr. & Mrs. Oliver rented the house to the Albert's until 1952 when they finally sold the property to them. Mr. & Mrs. Albert only resided there for three more years, selling it to Barbara Sylvester in 1955. Mrs. Sylvester owned the house for twenty-seven years, selling it to her son, Mark in 1982. Mark Sylvester resided in this house intermittently throughout the next ten years, eventually selling it to Peter Schilling, who sold the house to the current owner, Julia DesLauriers in 1996. PROPOSED CHANGE(S) The Applicant is proposing to demolish the existing garage and construct a new garage in its place.

Buildings in the district should not be demolished except where a building poses a threat to the public safety and demolition is the only alternative. Documentation of the interior and exterior features of the original buildings ... is encouraged. 2 RECOMMENDATION The owner is proposing to demolish an existing two stall garage and replace it with a new two stall garage. The contractor gives numerous reasons for demolition, which include, extensive rotting of most of the support members, deterioration of the floor plate and the extensive bowing and shifting of all outer walls. The staff finds that the severe deterioration of the garage leaves no alternative other then to demolish it, staff recommends approval of the demolition. The applicant is proposing to replace the existing garage with a new two stall garage which would be located three feet off of the alley which will allow alley access. This would place the garage a few feet to the left of the existing garage. The new garage will have a low pitched hip roof with asphalt shingles. The over all structure will be placed on a new cement pad and will be 26' x 22' in size. It will be located 3' from the lot line, right in front of an alley utility pole. The garage will have vinyl cedar shack siding, to rear double hung style fixed vinyl windows and a side, six panel, metal, with a wood core service door. The garage doors will be made of metal and have raised square panels. The owner has not yet solidified a design for the garage doors, but, has promised to submit a diagram or photo of the door of her choice at the Commission meeting. The owner has made every effort to choose building materials that will best match the existing house and will blend well with other structures in the district. The staff recommends approval of the new garage with final design approval of the garage doors to be given at the Commission meeting. The staff also believes that the driveway may have to be altered to accommodate the shifting of the garage. Even though the owner has note submitted any request to alter the drive the staff feels it may be prudent for the Commission to consider this issue when making their decision. 3 TROYER CONSTRUCTION 11544 WOKINGHAM DR. MISHAWAKA, IN 46545 (219) 679-0181 PREPARED FOR: Julia C. DesLauriers 701 Riverside Dr. South Bend, IN 46601 DATE: October 25, 1999 PRESENTED TO: Historic Preservation Commission REGARDING: Demolition of existing garage After careful examination of the existing structure (GARAGE) located at 701 Riverside Drive I feel it would be in the best interest of the HPC and the owner to demolish the existing structure and build a new garage at this location. I have extensive experience in remodeling and preservation work in this area. I have taken into consideration existing conditions of the structure along with associated costs of rebuilding the existing garage along with the feasibility of the work to be done at the existing location. I have done several other projects along this same street and in many cases felt that it was appropriate to remodel the existing structure, but do not feel in this case that it is the best interest of the owner to rebuild. The reasons for this decision are as follows: 1. The roof shingles are well beyond their useful life. 2. The roof decking is cracked and warped with extensive dryrot along entire perimeter. 3. Rafters are under sized (2X4) and show extensive rotting on almost all the tails from the upper wall plate to the exposed roof edge. 4. The perimeter walls & support columns are completely rotted and pose a possible unsafe condition. 5. The south east corner (between garage door & service door has shifted completely off the block foundation. 6. The floor plate is completely deteriorated. 7. The remaining east wall (facing house) is shifted substantially off block with entire wall bowed out approximately 4 inches. 8. The south wall (sliding door side) center column is completely loose with no foundation support. 9. The overhead door headers are undersized and show significant bowing. 10.The north wall (adjacent to adjoining garage) has a large outward bow and is so close to the other garage that any repair work would be extremely timely and costly to owner. 11.The west side (alley) shows significant dryrot & well over half of the exterior cedar shakes are rotted. 12. Over 70% of the wall perimeter, plates and headers would have to be replaced 13. The entire roof including rafter, decking and shingles would have to be replaced 14.The current condition does not lend itself to the preservation of the neighborhood, and the structure as it is today has no useful purpose. For the reasons that I have listed above I feel that it is in everyone's best interest to demolish the structure (garage). The associated costs to refurbish would be more than triple to refurbish rather than demolish and rebuild. As you can see from the site plan the new garage will compliment the neighborhood as well as be a sound structure providing the owner with a place to park and use for storage. You will also note that the new garage will be set back from the alley approximately 3 feet to provide access from the alley.

It is described as the east 56.8 feet of Bank Out Lot 15. The brick and stone building at 501 West Colfax was built in 1895 by the owners of the South Bend Remedy Company. At the time of construction the building was located at 220 West LaSalle. The Remedy Company was incorporated in 1889 to manufacture medicines, chemicals and drugs. It was founded by, Albert H. Kelley, Josiah E. Kelley, E.O. Roote and G. Florius Alward. G. Florius Alward married May Barton in 1891 and resided on North Michigan Street. He was employed as a clerk at the South Bend Medicine Company until 1890 when he resigned to become the proprietor of the South Bend Remedy Company. Josiah E. Kelley, a financial backer of the Remedy Company died in 1896 at age 71. Albert H. Kelley, president of the Remedy Company, was born in Ohio in 1852 to Richard Kelley, a well known local contractor. His family moved to South Bend in 1867. After Albert finished school he became a collection clerk for the First National Bank, a position he held until 1877 when he moved to Colorado to become a miner. Mr. Kelley resided there until 1880 when he returned to South Bend and went to work as a cashier for Studebaker Brothers, Manufacturing Company. Albert Kelley remained there until 1892 when he resigned to take a more active role in the South Bend Remedy Company. Albert and his wife, Mary, purchased lot 234 of the Original Plat of South Bend in 1894, they sold a portion of the land to the Remedy Company in 1895. The company immediately began construction of a Queen Anne, 2 1/2 story brick and stone structure, which would house the South Bend Remedy Company for the next 35 years. The South Bend Remedy Company was a very popular and lucrative. It boasted an extremely successful mail order drug business that extended to every state in the Union and abroad. The Company's most famous product was "Magnolia Blossom", a remedy for "female complaints". Mr. Kelley ran the business until his death in 1924 at age 72, his son, Richard Lyle Kelley, took over as president. Richard was a life long resident of South Bend, being born here in 1878. He operated the company until 1928 when he passed away at age 49 as a result of pneumonia. Upon his death Mr. Kelley's sister, Mrs. Mildred Temple of California, became president. Mrs. Temple closed the store at 220 W. LaSalle after 35 years of serving the South Bend Community. The South Bend Remedy Company remained in existence in name only for the next nine years. The Remedy Building remained vacant until 1934 when it was rented to the St. Joseph County Democratic Central Committee for their headquarters. Mrs. Temple, acting as president of the South Bend Remedy Company, sold the store to Charles W. and Hazel Cole in 1937. Mr. Cole and his son, Charles Jr., opened an architectural firm, "Charles Cole and Son Architects", which occupied this building for numerous years. Historic Context The Cole's eventually rented the building to the American Cancer Society as office space and used the second floor for apartments. They sold the property to George and Rosemary Hammershmidt in 1962. Mr. & Mrs. Hammershmidt owned the property for twelve years, during which time the building housed numerous small businesses and government agencies, such as, the St. Joseph County Department of Economic Development. The Hammershmidts sold the structure to Martha Waterhouse in 1974. Mrs. Waterhouse continued to rent the structure out including having it converted into an auto parts warehouse. She retained ownership until 1986 when it was sold to the South Bend Tribune. The Tribune wanted to level the building to allow expansion of their existing facility. In an attempt to save the structure the Tribune offered to donate it and $40,000.00 to anyone willing to move the building. Tim Lykowski, owner of Lykowski House Moving Engineers, excepted the responsibility, he moved the structure from 220 W. LaSalle to 501 W. Colfax in the summer of 1988. Over the past ten years the building has remained vacant. Architectural Description This is a two and a half story Queen Anne style late 19th century commercial building. The structure has a rectangular plan, concrete foundation and a medium pitch hip roof with metal eaves and a front fagade stone lined madallionated pediment with round window and a stone wreath frame.
