Masonry Contractors Inc. is pleased to submit this estimate for the salvaging of the Terra
Cotta located on the Oliver School Building in South Bend.
I have prepared and listed below the budget figures according to the format submitted to
me for the pieces to be salvaged. The dollar figure assigned per piece salvaged is a price
per each unit,. that is, if you decide to salvage more of one item it is the stated price per
unit additional.
Listed below is the scope of the work:
a. Main Entry, North elev. T.C. Marked "B" upper level crockery' pilaster
$2,000.00 each. �,-
b. Main Entry, North elev. T.C. marked "C' entry surround crockery& pilaster !L

SEP -3-8008 11:51A FROM:MASONRY CONTRACTORS 2192734075 TO: 2898420 P=3/3
y \ Z have estimated the total cost to reconstruct the Entrance Archway at $70,000.00 this
would include salvaging the necessary pieces of terra cotta and using new brick. The
existing brick on site would be far too costly to salvage, clean and reuse. New brick that
closely matches the existing is readily available from local suppliers.
Bid Packages
It is my opinion that the demolition and salvaging packages be offered separately. The
terra cotta salvaging operation will require knowledgeable personnel who have worked
with the material and understand it's installation and anchorage systems. A careful and
considerate approach will be needed to salvage suitable pieces for reuse.
The idea of removing some examples the terra cotta is in my opinion appropriate. The
cost of new terra cotta is astronomical. For instance, the cost to create one new piece
marked "B" would be approximately $15,000.00. or more. Mold costs run approximately
$1,000.00 per piece and most of the examples to be salvaged would require a dozen or
more molds to recreate since each example is constructed of multiple pieces.
As for a market for the existing pieces, I know there is one, but further investigation is
needed to find out as to what the market is bringing for salvaged terra cotta.
Also, our labor rate per man hour is $65.00/hr. The man lift rate is approximately
$150.00 per day. Transporting salvaged pieces to another site with a forklift would
amount to approximately $1,500.00.
I hope that this helps you in your efforts and if you have any further questions please call
at anytime.
Respectfully,
Steven P. Bognar

STAFF REPORT
CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A
CERTIFIATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
Application Number: 1999-0821
Property Location: 730 Bronson Street.
Property Owner: Walter Berndt
Designation: Local Historic District — Edgewater Place
Rating: Contributing - 9
HISTORY
This is a small bungalow -style house built in 1910, probably by Whitcomb & Keller Co. The Gleva
family was the first to live there. It has a more pronounced gable over the front porch than most bungalows, and
also has characteristics reminiscent of older "Hall & Parlor" or vernacular type dwellings.
The house was sold to Mary Souder Richards, who in turn transferred it to her relative, Oran Souder, in
1925. Mr. Souder was a postal carrier in California, who rented the house out until 1948. In 1948 or shortly
thereafter the Berndt family bought it, and members of the Berndt family have lived there ever since. Mr. Berndt
informs me that his parents originally bought it because they also owned the business property immediately
adjacent, on Lincolnway, and it was convenient to his father to live next-door to his place of business. The elder
Berndts are in their 80s, and live there still.
I cannot find out that the Berndt family has ever done anything about ensuring proper ventilation in their
attic, roof, bathroom, or elsewhere in the house. My questions on the subject elicit detailed information regarding
how the family has worked very hard, and spent considerable sums, to seal all walls with special paint, to install
insulation with vapor barriers, and generally to battle moisture by a desperate effort to keep it out, with no notion
of letting the house breathe.
In 2000 and 2001, the Standards & Maintenance Committee, and the City Code Enforcement Department,
became concerned about the deplorable condition of the house, and took steps to compel improvement. The
Berndt family agreed that some of the required items needed attention, and so applied for and received a
Certificate of Appropriateness listing eight items, including: demolishing carport; repair damaged roof; remove
steps from roof (steps had been installed years earlier to facilitate repairs which had not been completed); replace
or repair wood soffit where damaged; replace gutters on eaves; replace porch floor and ceiling with wood
identical to original; replace rotted wood trim boards with identical trim; repair or replace porch steps with wood
or cement, at owners option as to material. Most of these items have been attended to, and in fact an entire new
roof has been installed in very workmanlike and, satisfactory manner.
The porch, however, remains in dreadful shape, and Mr. Berndt believes that the siding on the house is
deteriorated beyond repair. Since there seems to be no way for it to ventilate or dry, he is possibly correct, though
he does not see ventilation as the problem. Since he believes that the existing siding is beyond repair, and must be
replaced, he seeks to replace it with vinyl siding. He may have applied for this before, and been denied.
RECOMMENDATION
The house is in such dreadful shape that some attention to its porch and siding is imperative. If
the house is so poorly ventilated that the wood siding is deteriorating, then vinyl siding will not solve the
underlying problem. However, it would provide relief to the neighborhood from an eyesore, and at least
a temporary comfort to the inhabitants in their declining years. Therefore, staff recommends that the
Commission deviate from the Edgewater Place District Guidelines because of the exceptionally bad
condition of the house, and approve the application, with the following conditions:
a) The new siding shall be the same size and style as the original wood;
b) All original existing architectural detail around windows, porches, doors, and eaves shall be
retained, except that any rotted wood trim shall be replaced with identical trim;
c) Gutters shall be re -installed on the eaves when the siding is complete;
d) The porch floor and ceiling shall be replaced with wood identical to the original;
e) The original or existing porch pillars shall be retained & appropriate stair rails replaced.
E d g e w a t e r P l a c e H i s t o r i c D i s t r i c t
II. EXISTING STRUCTURES
A. Building Materials
Original exterior wall materials in the District range from brick, clapboard, shingles, and masonry block to
aluminum siding. In the majority of the cases the aluminum siding has been applied over the original clapboard.
There are some masonry commercial buildings on Lincolnway.
Required
Existing exterior building materials shall be retained. Deterioration of wood materials shall be prevented through
repair., cleaning, and painting. The existing architectural detail around windows, porches, doors, and eaves should
be retained or replaced by replicas of the same design and materials when deteriorated beyond repair.
Masonry structures shall be maintained, tuckpointed and properly cleaned when necessary. Masonry shall be
cleaned only when necessary to halt deterioration or to remove stains and shall be done with the gentlest method
possible, such as low pressure water and soft natural bristle brushes.
Stucco surfaces shall be maintained by cleaning and repainted when necessary. When repairing stucco a stucco
mixture shall be used.
Recommended
Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored.
Aluminum or vinyl siding may be used when it is the only feasible alternative to maintaining the original surface
material. When used over wood surfaces, this siding should be the same size and style as the original wood.
However it must be noted that such material can contribute to the deterioration of the structure from moisture and
insects.
Mortar joints should be repainted only when there is evidence of moisture problems or when sufficient mortar is
missing to allow water to stand in the mortar joint. Existing mortar shall be duplicated in composition, color,
texture, joint size, method of application, and joint profile.

STAFF REPORT
CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A
CERTIFIATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
Application Number: 2002-0822
Property Location: 1120 East Wayne Street.
Property Owner: Mr. & Mrs. Robert L: Miller, Jr.
Designation: Local Historic District — East Wayne Street
Rating: Contributing - 9
HISTORY
This is a garrison -style colonial revival built in 1935 for Lydia & James Naus. James Naus,
a 1916 graduate of Indiana Dental College, opened an office in the Farmers' Security Building in
1918. He married Lydia F. Miels, and they had a daughter and a son. Naus was a member of the
American & Indiana Dental Associations, the 13`h District Dental Society, Delta Sigma Delta
Fraternity, Knights of Pythias, Kiwanis Club, and a Mason.
In 1955 the Nauses moved their home and Dr. Naus' office to 604 S. Eddy Street, and sold
this house to Leila & Tracy H. Madole, V.P. of sales for the South Bend Range Corporation.
In 1961, the Madoles sold the house to Barbara & Stephen Lobdell. Mr. Lobdell was
president of material Handling Equipment Co. At his death, he left the house to Barbara. She sold
the house to Mr. & Mrs. Miller in 1987.
RECOMMENDATION
The owners seek to remove their original wood window sashes and replace them with
aluminum -clad window sashes. On the outside, the windows look so good that at first we were
puzzled as to the motive for replacing them. However, there is significant deterioration on the
inside of the window sashes.
The character defining elements on this home are the excellent and graceful proportions of
its front face, its high-quality building materials, and its excellent authentic and stylistically correct
details, such as the spherical pendants under the second floor overhang, its flat arch lintels,
entablature and fluted pilasters around the front door, corbelled chimney, and — relevant to this
Application -- the carved or shaped blocks on each upper window sash, to prevent the upper sashes
from crashing down on the sills.
The proposed replacement windows are insulated glass, but have "true divided lights"
meaning that there are muntons on the outside, on the inside, and between the double panes, so that
dimension and shadow line are maintained.
Staff recommends approving this Application for window sash replacement as described in
the Application, with the following additional conditions:
a) That the replacement sashes or windows retain the same appearance as the original
windows, so that the excellent proportions of the house are preserved. In other
words, we don't want a double window jamb that results in a noticeably smaller
window glass.
b) That if possible, the decorative little blocks on the upper sashes be removed from the
old sashes and re -used on the new ones.

STAFF REPORT
CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A
CERTIFIATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
Application Number: 2002-0904
Property Location: 904 Arch Avenue.
Property Owner: Terri & Steve Zornig
Designation: Local Historic District — Edgewater Place
Rating: Contributing - 9
HISTORY
This house was designed by a Whitcomb & Keller architect in 1902, and built as part of that
company's real estate ventures. In 1923 it was purchased by Fern & William Ponader, the
Secretary & Treasurer for the Suburban Development Corporation, later President of Maple Lane
Realty. In 1944, through their realty company, they sold to Margaret & Frank G. Swonk. Mr.
Swonk lived there until his death in 1957, and then Margaret liver there alone until 1960, when Mrs,
Francis Bender came to live with her. Margaret Swonk either died or moved in 1961, but Mrs.
Bender continued to live there, possibly until about 1980. In 1980, the City Directory shows her no
longer there, and Mr. James Mahler living there. Later, Jeff Beers and Donna Schlarb purchased
the house, and lived there until 1994, when they sold it. I am not sure whether they sold it to the
present owners, or whether there was another owner in between.
In 1990, Ron Farr received a C of A to install 5" cream colored vinyl siding, and to cover all
fascias, soffits, and window trim with brown aluminum trim matching the original in size and
exposure. Computer records are summary records and do not show the reason for this deviation
from guidelines, but I believe it was because the house had already been covered with artificial
siding prior to the district being designated historic.
In May of 1991, Jeff Beers received a C of A to re roof the house, and to re -construct the
rear entry porch, and to replace the gravel driveway with poured concrete. Also, he received a C of
A to grind down the stumps of dead trees, and to replant dying lilac bushes.
RECOMMENDATION
The owners seek to remove their original wood window sashes and replace them with
aluminum -clad window sashes. On the outside, the windows look so good that at first we were
puzzled as to the motive for replacing them. However, the owner believes there would be energy
and comfort efficiencies.
The character defining elements on this home are the regularity and balance of its
proportions, and its large, sunny windows.
The proposed replacement windows are Marvin windows. Some of the windows in the
documentation accompanying the application have the same six -over -one light divisions that the
existing windows have.
Staff recommends approving this Application for window sash replacement as
described in the Application, with the following additional conditions:
a) That the replacement sashes or windows retain the same exterior dimensions
and appearance as the original windows, so that the excellent proportions of the
house are preserved. In other words, we don't want a double window jamb that
results in a noticeably smaller window glass.
b) That the new sashes have the same six over one light divisions as the existing
windows.

Proposed Sash & Window Replacement System
At The Residence Of Steve & Teresa Zornig

Edgewater Historical District
Home Phone: 288-9131
TILT PAC:
Marvin's Tilt Pac sash
replacement system can do
wonders for a room full of
old, drafty double hungs.
You can make a dull, chilly
breakfast nook cozy and
inviting again. Add a
traditional style with
authentic divided lites. Or,
use Tilt Pacs to preserve and
upgrade unusual sizes and
designs from years past.
From simple to exotic, from
Victorian to Colonial you can
0, get a Tilt Pac for virtually any
double hung window. And
no matter what you choose,
the Marvin Tilt Pac easily lets
you recapture the comfort,
beauty and value originally
built into your home.
t
A SYSTEM THAT TURNS OLD
WINDOWS INTO NEW ONES.
Many old double hung windows are drafty and
inefficient, but the frames and trim are still in good
condition. Marvin's Tilt Pac® system lets you
replace only the sash. So you can make your old
windows like new, with a minimum of time, labor
and expense.
R
®Snap -in jamb liners allow
the sash to tilt in for
easy cleaning.
®Energy-efficient wood sash
are made to fit into your
home. Just give us the
sizes and options you
want, and we'll build them.
Each Tilt Pac includes two energy
efficient wood sash and all the hardware
you need to install them. So you pay for the
sash, not the whole window. It installs
quickly with simple, easy to follow
instructions. So you save on installation
costs, too. All the work is done from inside
the room, without removing plaster, siding
or outside trim. And, like the Marvin Double
Hung, both sash of the Tilt Pac will tilt into
the room for easy cleaning.
WHAT`S IN THE HAS?
The contents ofyour Tilt Pa& package
Snap -in jamb liners
make for easy installation
and operation.
On .#'pig
All parts packaged in one box and
coded for each specific location.
Comes complete with instructions
for easy installation.
Law -maintenance extruded
aluminum cladding is available
in five colors for an attractive,
durable exterior.
'A
Insulating glass provides
I energy efficiency.
Excellent weather-
stripping on jamb
liners and sash
offers protection
against drafts and
energy loss.
t
INSTALLING YOUR NEW
TILT PAC® WINDOW
It `s As Simple As This
Step 1:
Remove the old sash.
Carefully remove the inside
casing from your window.
If your old window has a
weight -and -pulley system,
cut the cords. Lift out the bot-
tom sash. Then, slide
the top sash down, cut the
cords (if any) and remove
the stops. Now take out the
top sash.
Step 2:
Prepare the frame.
Nail the metal brackets evenly
down both sides of the win-
dow. Start about 47 from the
top and finish about 4"from
the bottom.
Step 3:
Install the jamb liners.
Put in the new stops and
foam gaskets. Now, simply
snap the vinyl jamb liners
onto the brackets. With small
finishing nails, install the new
stop at the top with weather-
stripping facing outward.
Step 4:
Install the new sash.
Pull down and lock the metal
clutches in the jamb liners
with a screwdriver. Place the
top sash into the exterior
track and ease it into place,
lowering it onto the clutches.
Install the lower sash on the -
interior track the same way.
Replace the original casing.
You're finished! Old, drafty double hungs are new and
energy efficient again. Both sash will slide up and
down effortlessly. They'll also tilt into the room for easy
cleaning. Or, they can be removed altogether.
HOW 001 ORDER?
Important! Accurate Measurements
For Accurate Ordering
Since all Marvin windows are made to order, it's
extremely important to obtain the proper
measurements before ordering a Tilt Pac'. Consult
-a Marvin dealer or professional window installer.
Your first measurement
should be the width of
the sash opening. Place
yourtape measure
againstthe inside of the
jamband measure
across to the inside of
the opposite jamb (see
drawingand photo).
Lower the top sash a
few inches, and mea-
sure from the spot
where the top sash
touches the header to
where the exterior
side of the bottom
sash touches the sill
when closed. This is
the sash opening
height. Ifyourwindow
has wooden blocks
holding the top sash in
place, remove them.

Measure the angle of
the sill. A standard sill
angle for Marvin's Tilt
Pac is 14 degrees. On
wood Tilt Pacs, nearly
any angle is available,
but you must tell us
which angle you need.
You can get a
convenient, palm -
sized sill angle finder
at most stores where
tools are sold.
Side View
If you would like a screen with your Tilt Pac, two
screen measurements are needed. Important:
Make these measurements separately, after you
are certain all other measurements are correct!
First, measure the distance across your
exterior' casing, from inside edge to inside
edge. This is your total screen opening width.
Now measure from the lower edge of the top
casing down to where the screen will rest on
the sill. This is your total screen opening height.

JOHN OXIAN: Called the meeting to order at 7:30_
II. PUBLIC HEARING
A. CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS
1. 2002-0806; 119 LaPorte Avenue; build utility shed.
This was a Certificate of Appropriateness presented at the last commission meeting and
tabled by those of the commission so that the owner Mr. Jeffrey Berndt could be present.
CATHERINE HOSTETLER: Makes a motion to deny application 2002-0806, because
Mr. Jeffrey Berndt did not show up for the meeting. The C. of A. could not be tabled
again because sixty days have passed. The commission had no choice but to deny his C.
of A. He will therefore have to submit another application; since he did not attend the
meeting to sign for an extension.
MARTHA CHOITZ: Seconds the motion and the motion carries unanimously.
sign.
2. 2002-0815; 217 West Washington Street Tower Building; rooftop
F
(Report from Standards & Maintenance Committee)
MARTHA CHOiTZ: The Standards and Maintenance Committee met at the Tower Bank
Building last week with all the people involved We gave them the mission of going
back to find a more suitable sign that is smaller than the one they had presented to us at
our last meeting. So they are currently working on this and they will be getting back to
us. I think they liked our suggestions and they were willing to cooperate with us as far as
I know. They plan to do some drawings that they will present to the staff, and we will
then have another meeting.
Tonight I would like to make a motion that 2002-0815 be denied for the rooftop sign
on the Tower Bank Building.
MARY JANE CHASE: I will second the motion and the motion carries unanimously.
The reasons for denial of the rooftop sign on top of the Tower Bank Building are as
follows:
1. The size of the sign was inappropriate for the size of the building.
2. Historical Gothic Tower Buildings never have signs on top of them.
3. Our research shows that there was no precedent for signs like these on that?
building or any other building in South Bend or on any of the main gothic structures
in Chicago.
3. 2002-0821; 730 East Bronson Street; siding replacement.
KAREN HAMMOND NASH: The house is in such dreadful shape that some attention
to its porch and siding is imperative. If the house is in fact poorly ventilated causing the
wood siding to deteriorate, then vinyl siding will not solve the underlying problem.
However, vinyl siding would provide relief to the neighborhood from a dilapidated house
and at least a temporary comfort to the inhabitants.
Therefore, staff recommends that the Commission deviate from the Edgewater Place
District Guidelines because of the exceptionally bad condition of the siding and approve
the application with the following conditions:
A. The new siding shall be the same size and style as the original wood.
B. That all existing architectural detail around windows, porches, doors, and
eaves be retained, except that any rotted wood trim be replaced with identical
trim.
C. That the gutters be re -installed on the eaves when the siding is complete.
D. That the ceiling shall be replaced with wood identical to the
original.
E. The original or existing porch pillars be retained & appropriate stair rails
replaced.
F. Repair sorts using adequate ventilation, either with screens or a continuous

WALTER BERNDT: I am from 730 East Bronson. For about thirty -some years we have
had asbestos siding hanging on the outside of the other siding. I think this problem has
led to some of the deterioration of the other siding. The roof has already been completely
replaced. The rotted boards have all been replaced and the roof has been ventilated We
have addressed the problem with vapor from the inside of the house. We have used the
correct types of paint on the walls that is adequate for vapor barrier according to the
information i got from Historic Preservation last year. As far as I know it wasn't leaking
into the walls when the asbestos siding was on the house. I know the other siding was in
bad shape when we took the asbestos siding off.
During 1964-1967, we replaced some of the rotted boards. We have even painted the
siding many, many times since then, and the paint still continues to peel. We have even
gone to the most popular paints places and we have taken them siding which appears to
be rotted We are not sure if the siding is permeated with some other kind of elements
that we have not been able to get off of the siding. In 1966 or 1967 we took the asbestos
siding off the house. The types of insulation that we currently have in the house are a
spun glass and a pellet type. The last amount of insulation we have put in the house was
done in early May. When we put a new roof on the house the soffits and the overhangs
were rotted out. We have not corrected this problem yet; but, we are planning to correct
it when we do the rest of the work that needs to be done that Karen mentioned earlier.
Discussion was then held among commission members as to whether Mr. Berndt's rotted
wood siding was due to an interior or exterior problem. Members also discussed what
possible solutions may be available to Mr. Berndt to correct this problem.
JOANN SPORLEDER: I make a motion that application 2002-0821 be approved under
the following guidelines:
1. Remove the deteriorated siding and replace with new vinyl siding which shall
be the same size and style as the original wood,
2. All the original existing architectural details around the windows, doors,
porches, eaves shall be retained; except that any rotted wood shall be replaced
with identical trim
3. Gutters shall be re -installed on the eaves when the siding is complete.
4. The ceiling of the porch shall be replaced with vinyl wood siding identical to the
original; and that it be properly ventilated.
5. The original or existing porch pillars shall be retained and appropriate stair
rails replaced.
6. Fix the soffits with appropriate ventilation so that they don't rot out again
CATHERINE HOSTETLER: Seconds the motion and the motion carries unanimously.
4. 2002-0822; 1120 East Wayne Street South; window replacement.
KAREN HAMMOND-NASH: The owners seek to remove their original wood window
sashes and replace them with aluminum -clad window sashes. On the outside, the
K
windows look so good that at first we were puzzled as to the motive for replacing them.
However, there is significant deterioration on the inside of the window sashes.
The character defining elements on this home are the excellent and graceful
proportions of its front face, its high-quality building materials, and its excellentt authentic
and stylistically correct details, such as the spherical pendants under the second floor
overhang, its flat arch lintels, entablature and fluted pilasters around the front door, and
relevant to this application the carved or shaped blocks on each upper window sash.
The proposed replacement windows are insulated glass that have what Pella calls
the "true divided lights" meaning that there are mentons on the outside, on the inside, and
between the double panes, so that dimension and shadow line are maintained.
Staff recommends approving this application for window sash replacement as
described in the application, with the following additional conditions:
A. That the replacement sashes or windows retain the same appearance as the
original windows, so that the excellent proportions of the house are preserved
In other words, we don't want a double window jamb that results in a noticeably
smaller window glass.
B. That if possible, the decorative little blocks on the upper sashes be removed from
the old sashes and re -used on the new sashes.
GARY DER.BIN: I am from Riverside construction, representing Mr. Miller and Pella
Windows. I don't have any objections to the conditions that have been given by the
commission. Pella can make the windows right to the exact size of the existing windows.
The squares in the windows can be costume built, and can be made any size that is
identical to what is already there. We can even try and reuse those blocks, even if it is for
looks. The blocks are only used on the double -hung windows. There are some windows
in the new addition that are going to be replaced. There are also a couple of windows in
front of the house that are going to be replaced because they are completely rotted out.
but, there are also some in the front of the house that are going to be replaced too. The
windows upstairs in front of the house are completely destroyed We will be replacing
six or seven of the windows in the new addition of the house. There was no beveled
glass in any of the windows.
There is no reason we would have to remove the shutters from around any of the
windows. For the windows that do not currently have shutters, I am not sure if the owner
intends to install another pair of shutters.
MARY JANE CHASE: I make a motion on application 2002-0822 that we accept the
recommendation of the staff in Item A. That the replacement sashes or windows retain
the same appearance as the original windows.
JOANN SPORLEDER: Seconds the motion and the motion carries unanimously.
5. 2002-0904; 805 Arch Avenue; sash or window replacement.
KAREN HAMMOND NASH: The owners here seek to remove their original wood
window sashes and replace them with aluminum -clad window sashes. On the outside,
the windows look so good that at first we were puzzled as to the motive for replacing
them. However, the owner believes there would be energy and comfort efficiencies;
because, the original wooden stone windows have been replaced with aluminum storm
windows.
The character defining elements on this home are the regularity and balance of its
proportions, and its large, sunny windows.
The proposed replacement windows are Marvin windows. Some of the windows in
the documentation accompanying the application have the same six -over -ane light
divisions that the existing windows have.
Staff recommends approving this application for window sash replacement as
described in the application, with the following additional conditions:
A. That the replacement sashes or windows retain the same exterior dimensions and
appearance as the original windows, so the excellent proportions of the house are
preserved In other words, we don't want a double window jamb that results
in a noticeably smaller window glass.
B. That the sashes have the same six -over -one light divisions as the existing
windows.
C. Removal of existing aluminum storm windows.
WAYNE DOOLITTLE: The windows have had a great deal of neglect over the years.
The windows need to be re -glazed., scraped, and re -painted. I was not able to see any
rotting holes around the windows. I stopped by and knocked on the door and nobody
came to the door. I then took some pictures of the outside of the house. When I was
there I did notice that the windows have had bad maintenance; but, other than that I can
not attest to how they operate. The windows have not had maintenance done to them for
quite some time.
KAREN HAMMOND NASH: Let me note in this context that the owners here are new
owners of the property located at 805 Arch Avenue. If there was any neglect it would
have been done under a previous owner.
STEVE ZORNIG: My wife Terri and I are the current property owners of 805 Arch
Avenue. First of all, the windows we are proposing to use are wooden sash, not
aluminum -clad sash. These wooden sash windows can be made much like the Pella
windows approved previously. The wooden sash windows are made to order and they
are made to size.
As far as the operation of the existing windows, they are very loose in the frames. We
have had some leaking and some water damage and the old windows are very drafty.
The windows are so drafty that we have put on clear bizqueen window insulators inside
the house during the winter to help eliminate heat from escaping from the windows. In
the future we would like to be able to stop doing this with our windows. As the owner of
the house I do see a need to replace the window sashes.
I can't say that there is any rot on the window sashes yet; but, we do get some water
that leaks in through the windows. Since the windows have been neglected, I think this is
an efficient way to address the problem and improve the house.
This house is unique in the fact that there was aluminum siding put on it prior to the
Historical Society being informed. We were informed that the people who lived there at
the time ran out of money half way through the house. Now the house currently has half
wooden siding and half aluminum siding on the house. Since this has happened, we still
have some of the old storm windows on the wood sided part of the house that are actually
on the exterior of the house itself. On the aluminum sided part of the house, they're
interval to the sash. The windows on both sides of the house are in relatively bad shape.
Even the windows on the inside of the wooden storm windows are in relatively bad
shape. The old storm windows we currently have on the house are the windows that you
can hook on and then take off and store during the summer. Unfortunately, I can only
find half of the old storm windows for the house.
Mr. Zomig and commission members discussed the type, style, and design of the new
replacement windows that he would like to have installed in the house. There was also
some discussion about the two different types of siding on the house and what possible
future plans he has for correcting this problem.
JOANN SPORLEDER: I make a motion that application 2002-0904 be approved with
the following additional criteria as recommended by staff. I would also like to include
Item C, which is the removal of the existing aluminum storm windows.
JOHN OXIAN: I am against approving application 2002-0904 because even though the
wooden storm windows can be attached and detached from the windows of the house,
they should still be considered a part of the house. I also think that the motion being
made should include all ofthe storm windows being removed from the house; not just the
aluminum storm windows.
MARY JANE CHASE: Seconds the motion and the motion carries with one commission
member, (John Oxian), voting again the motion.
B. LOCAL LANDMARKS
1. 602 Euclid Avenue, South Bend; Former Nelson & Son Dairy,
operating 19061918. (This is only a first reading).
2. 1021 Portage Avenue, South Bend, Axtell House, built 1905.
JOHN OXIAN: This property is coming in both as a local landmark and as a listing on
the National Register. For National Register we have to have first and second readings;
but, with an owner's consent we can do both of them tonight or we can do them both at
the same time when we also do national; the first one tonight and the second one next
month.
Sarah Eldred and Jason Jones, (wife and husband): We are the owners of the property
located at 1021 Portage Avenue. We just bought this house in July, and we have done a
lot of work on the house so far. Our main plan for the house is to rehab and to stabilize
the property and the houses that are located on the property including the carriage house
in the back of the property. There is little to note on the change in the historical aspect of
the house, except for the attic which we intend to make inhabitable. The property at one
time did have multiple apartments in it in the 1970's, and then someone else bought it
from the original owner and turned in back into a duplex instead. Later on the Near
Northwest Neighborhood Association bought it; they re -gutted the walls and changed it
back into a single family home again. The house sits on the corner between Golden and
Portage. The roof we had replaced had five layers of shingles on it. Since there were
five layers of shingles on the roof it caused a lot of the joists to rot out and there was
quite a bit of water damage done to the property as well. When we had our roof put on
we did not have an ice sheet put on close to the eaves; but, the roofer is not completely
done with the roof yet either. The roofer still needs to put on the gutters and one part of
the roof has not been put on yet because we need to do some structural damage repair
first. We do still have the staircase in the house, but just before we bought the house
vandals came in and kicked about twenty of the round spindles out of the staircase.
CATHERINE HOSTETLER: I make the motion to declare this property a local
landmark.
VIRGINIA O'HAIR: Seconds the motion and the motion carries unanimously.
JOHN OXIAN: Your property has been approved by the commission for local landmark
status, and next month we will go for the National Register.
KAREN HAMMOND NASH: The reason for this is that we have to have newspaper
publication of notice before we can vote on National Landmark Status.
C. HEARING OF VISTORS
(No visitors came forward to speak during the meeting).
IIL REGULAR BUSINESS
A. APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES
GERALD UJDAK: I make a motion to approve the minutes for the month of August.
MARTHA CHOITZ: Seconds the motion and the motion carries unanimously.
B. TREASURER'S REPORT
MARY JANE CHASE: What we plan to do with the treasurer's report from now on is to
go over the income and the expenses monthly and give a profit and loss statement.
C. LEGAL REPORT
1. Leeper Park Settlement status
r%
THOMAS BODNAR: I got a letter from the P.A.N.A.'s attorney today, indicating that
there would not be a settlement. That we could arrange something in terms of possibly
flipping the HPC on to the plaintiffs side. We discussed earlier that if they weren't
going to agree that I would file a motion for a judgment. A judgment could be filed
based on the fact that they did not file a claim. Their objection against us is a failure to
list the item on the agenda.
Secondly, there is a statute of limitations, which has a time limit of thirty days. The
statute is based upon when the person did know or should have known. The statute then
goes on to say when the minutes were adopted. In this case, October's minutes were not
adopted until the following January, 2001; which was ten months before the suit was
even filed. So, I think a strong statue of limitations defense should not take that much
work; and I can have it on file by our next regular meeting. This is what we had agreed
upon in our executive meeting.
A discussion was then held among commission members. The following important
points of this discussion are as follows:
1. The legal letter that was received from P.A.N.A.'s attorney.
2. What current and future steps the commission plans to take on this legal
matter.
3. That there should be an Executive Meeting between commission members so that
this matter can be discussed in further detail.
It was unanimously agreed upon by commission members to have an Executive Meeting
to discuss this matter in further detail, and to answer any further questions that
commission members may have on this matter.
2. Enforcement status of Franklin Street Apartments
THOMAS BODNAR: I have not sent my letter to them yet; because, I am still trying to
figure out what they have done down in Code Enforcement. Code Enforcement can't
seem to find the file on these properties. This is a case where their concern isn't so much
with the historical accuracy of the repairs as that there are no repairs at all being done,
other thari perhaps to shore up the one porch by piling one brick on top of another. These
repairs that are not being done are causing very serious health and safety hazards.
Perhaps we can discuss this matter in connection with 117 West North Shore -Drive.
This is a case where we are worried about the appropriateness of what they are going to
do. In the case with 117 West North Shore Drive they had their hearing, and Code
Enforcement fined them a thousand dollars. They now have until next Monday to appeal
that fine. But, nobody wants the thousand dollars. Code Enforcement doesn't want the
thousand dollars. We wouldn't, if we had the power, want the thousand dollars either.
What everybody does want is to have the house repaired We, the commission, are not in
a position to take over the apartment buildings on Franklin Street.
Code Enforcement may be well on their way to being in a position to do something
about this matter. The address numbers for the Franklin Street apartment buildings are
125 &127.
0
A discussion was then held among commission members on what else could still be done
to make sure that the Franklin Street apartment buildings are repaired. What other
possible steps can be taken to make sure that Code Enforcement follows through on their
legal action to ensure that these repairs are completed.
Following this discussion, John Oxian, President, then instructed Karen Hammond -Nash,
Director, to send a letter to Code Enforcement stating that we want them to take
immediate legal action against the owners of these properties.
Martha, Virginia, Joann, Karen, and Wayne attended the Code Enforcement hearing.
They were also very concerned about the work that is being done on the property by the
owners. After the hearing they did not even bother to talk to her in the hallway; because,
she was too upset. During the hearing, she insisted that work is actually being done on
the property.
Wayne Doolittle did go out to the property on Wednesday and Thursday. He also
went to the property the day after the Code Enforcement hearing to see if anyone was
actually working on the property. He did notice that there were two workers there that
were slowly burning paint off the house with heat guns. The workers were doing a good
job; but, it was taking them forever to remove the paint from the house.
Wayne then informed the workers that he would be back the next day at 2:30 and
that he would bring them an advertisement for an electrical paint remover that
simultaneously cleans the bottom of the fibers and to all the sides. When Wayne arrived
the next day at 2:30 the workers were not there, so he left the advertisement with the lady
of the house. He also told the lady of the house that even though the workers were doing
a wonderful job of removing the paint from the house; that they still needed to be there
more often that what they are now so that they can get the job done sooner.
Wayne did manage to talk to a man who told him that they expected to have the job
done within six weeks.
Wayne also noticed when he was there that most of the wood trim for the house that
was still there was lying in the driveway in front of the garage, and that most of the wood
trim was in bad shape.
KAREN HAMMOND-NASH: The Code Enforcement Order dated November 29, 2001
was for surface conditions such as peeling, flaking, and chipping paint from wood
surfaces on siding, roof overhangs, windows, doors, casings, and trim. The wood siding
also has areas of deterioration and damage. The roof has rotted wood at the sections of
the group overhangs. The rear porch has rotted flooring. The garage has peeling,
flaking, and chipping paint from wood surfaces such as siding, roof overhangs, windows,
doors, casing, trim. There were additional problems reported about the property in
February, 2002 also.
The Code Enforcement Hearing Officer left the collection of the fine up to the
discretion of the City Attorney Ann -Carol Nash. Mrs. Nash then informed the owner that
if within six weeks the house was completely painted that she would then waive the
thousand dollar fine. If the house was not completely painted within six weeks, Mrs.
Nash would then seek an additional second thousand dollar fine.

D. STAFF REPORTS
1. Director's Reports: C. of A. Approvals; Correspondence
KAREN HAMMOND-NASH: I mailed to commission members some correspondence
regarding the street lights on Riverside Drive. There were questions raised because
several of the new street lights had been taken down and dismantled in preparation for
repainting, because of concern about whether the commission would approve of the color
of the streetlights.
Having checked with commission members, I found out that neither the staff nor any
commission member knew of any demand to have these street lights taken down and
sandblasted, because of complaints about their color.
I then wrote the City Engineer's Office informing them that the commission had no
complaint, and that we had not been apprised of any complaints. I also informed them
that there were no complaints from the Neighborhood Association about the color of the
street lights. I then went on to further inform them that the commission was very
surprised that the City Engineer's Office would actually take down and dismantle these
street lights and have them repainted based on the fact that they thought the commission
would not approve of the current color of the street lights without first asking our office if
this was in fact true.
The street lights that were taken down and dismantled to be painted were new street
lights just installed The contract requirement and the C. of A. specify that the luminaries
be cast -metal -factory -finish in a dark green. Based on this fact, the City Engineer's
Office had anticipated that the dark green would be a pine forest green and not the bottle
green that was used on the street lights instead
JOHN OXIAN: I not only received a call on this, but, when Daren asked me about this I
specifically told her to write a letter because I don't want the commission or any of us to
be accused of something as petty as taking down street tights because of their color. I
noticed that they even took down the earlier street lights around the North Pumping
Station by the Water Works and had them repainted I feel that we have more important
things to do than worry about which green looks better on the street lights. I have set up
a meeting with Gary Gilot, Public Works Director, for October 2, 2002, to discuss the
following matters:
1. The painting of these new street lights on Riverside Drive.
2. How the people of the Riverbend area would like to have installed the same type
of street lights that are presently in Leeper Park East.
3. The article in the South Bend Tribune which someone wrote about the two street
lights on Robin Hood Lane.
In reference to the newspaper about Robin Hood Lane, I would like to say that I did
receive a phone call from I & M about these two street lights. The person in this article is
accusing the commission of not working with I & M to repair these two street lights, even
after the person claims the commission supposedly made these two street lights into
landmarks. The person claimed that one of the street lights has not been working at all
/U
and that the other street light supposedly keeps going on and off all the time. This person
would like to see the two street lights either repaired or replaced-
Even
eplacedEven though the commission is not involved with this, I & M has stated that they would
be willing to donate the street lights to us or to the city.
Chuck Leone did get up in front of the Common Council and oppose me on declaring
two street lights on Sunnymede landmarks. The reason he opposed me was because
supposedly they were going to work with the commission on what should be done with
the older street lights.
Well, I don't want to start getting telephone calls from people or have the commission
blamed for something in the newspaper that has nothing to do with us. I intend to cover
all of these matters with Mr. Gary Geiot in our meeting on October 2"d.
KAREN HAMMOND NASH: We received another letter. This is a copy of a letter to
Mr. Jim Aranowski from the Riverbend Historic Neighborhood Association seeking Mr.
Aranowski's support and by application also seeking our support for replacing historic
concrete and cast metal street lights along Riverbend.
There is a policy dated August 19, 1990, signed by then Mayor Joe Kernan, a
representative at that time of the electric company. Mr. Oxian, on behalf of the
commission, set up a number of standards for the type of street lights that are to be used
in the historic neighborhoods in the city of South Bend. Mr. Oxian said, among other
things, that no new Town. and Country light poles are to be installed effective August
1990. This letter from Michelle and Julia indicates that seven years ago, which is a lot
more recent than 1990, their concrete street light poles were taken down and replaced
with the Town and Country street light poles.
What I have heard from other reporters is that the 1990 policy is no longer in effect
because the electric company has been taken over and the new electric company is
considering itself bound by legal contracts and by ordinances, but not by gentlemen
agreement policies.
On the other hand, Carl Littrel seems to be under the impression that this policy is
still binding, and that the electric company is still following the policy. Chuck Leone
was also under this same impression when he opposed the landmarking of two street
lights on Sunnymede at the Common Council meeting. It is the commission's
understanding that both Chuck Leone and Carl Littrel believe that this is still a binding
agreement among all the parties that are involved
I need to know what the commission would like me to do about this matter with the
street lights in the Riverbend area. Does the commission take a pro or con position in this
matter? Is the commission instructing me to support the neighborhood with their request
regarding the street lights in the Riverbend area?
JOANN SPORLEDER: I will make a motion that we as the commission support the
neighborhood's request to use the same street lights in the historical neighborhood as in
Leeper Park.
VIRGINIA O'HAIR: Seconds the motion and the motion carries unanimously.
11
JOHN OXIAN: I would also like to make a motion that the older concrete street light
poles that come out of historic districts that are not declared landmarks that they be
preserved anyway.
MARY JANE CHASE: Seconds the motion and the motion carries unanimously.
2. Inspector's Report, Clay Township
WAYNE DOOLITTLE: These are all the pictures that we have from three -and a half
townships. Right now I think there are about seventeen that do not match from one book
to the other that I am still trying to find so that I can finish Clay Township. All of the
township pictures are in here with their addresses. For anybody who wants to look at
them they will be in the commission office. I got a call from Don Sappington, who lives
in the first house, which is a Federal style house, at the top of the hill on Riverside. He
stated in his conversation to me that he would like to have another temporary light of
some kind installed in front of the Cutter House. He told me that there hasn't been a light
in front of the Cutter House for at least two years. He also told me that he would like to
have something at least temporary there until something else better comes along. He
stated that it has been a long time and that he would like to see a light installed at the top
of the hill. We know that he would like to have one of the original street lights installed
there, but we have not been able to successfully do that yet.
JOHN OXIAN: That was the original cast iron street light pole on Riverside Drive.
Riverside Drive originally had cast iron street light poles not concrete street light poles.
That was the only cast iron street light pole left. That was the original cast iron street
light pole from Cutter. The city was trying to find a way to copy that cast iron street light
pole and have another one installed in its place. This is another important matter that I
intend to discuss at the October 2"d meeting.
IV. OLD BUSINESS
A. Oliver School Certificates of Appropriateness; progress of work.
KAREN HAMMOND-NASH: I have no progress to report at this time. I did pass out to
commission members copies of the permits that have been issued after our August 7a',
and our September 3`' meetings.
V. ADJOURNMENT
GERALD UJDAK: Makes a motion to adjourn the meeting at 9:35.

RE: Proposal for new streetlights for East Riverside Drive
Dear Mr. Aranowski:
The River Bend Historical Neighborhood would like to propose the installation of
the same light poles and luminaires that have been used at the new parking facility at the
island, to be continued down Riverside Drive east.
We were adamant about keeping our original concrete poles and cast metal
luminaires that were unnecessarily taken down approximately 7 years ago. This was a
tremendous disservice to our Historical Neighborhood, as the poles ended up refurbished
and in other historical neighborhoods. The installation of the "Town and Country"
fiberglass poles infuriated the neighbors as our requests to reinstall the original poles fell
on deaf ears.
The installation of new poles that match the ones in the park with a soft light
would be a win-win situation. It would enhance the park and give it continuity as well as
giving back to our River Bend Historical Neighborhood what was taken away.
Karen Hammond -Nash is working closely with us to try and make this happen.
Any assistance you can give her in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
for your consideration with this proposal.
Sincerely,
ichele Gelfman

September 12, 2002
To local, state and federal historic officers:
Attached are the applications for certification for historic status, and our rehab plans for the
Axtell House in South Bend Indiana.
We are simultaneously submitting these requests to the local, state, and federal agencies.
We purchased the house on July 19, 2002, from the Near Northwest Neighborhood
Association, which is working to rehabilitate the neighborhood. The deed for the house is
in the name of Sarah Eldred and Jason Jones. Marilou and myself are Sarah's parents,
and our names are also on the deed for we have provided the funding for this adventure.
The house is across the street from the Federal Chapin Historic District — so in the
applications we have not listed it as being in a historic district, even though it virtually is
part of the district. The State of Indiana evaluated the house for historical importance in
1987, and ranked it 12 on a scale of 1 to 13. (See Federal — Part 1).
The overall description of the property, with photos, historical documents etc are in
Federal — Part 1. On the property is the main house, which is for residential use (Sarah
and Jason will move in next week), and a carriage house, which is rental property (now
currently rented).
The rehab plans, with costs and dates are in Federal Part 2. In general the rehab work is
to stabilize the property and its houses, including the replacement of most of the
mechanical systems. There is little or no change to the historical features of the house,
except for plans to make the attic habitable.
We have. Worked with Karen Hammond -Nash, Director Historic Preservation Commission
of South Bend and St. Joseph County to prepare these documents, and to be our guide in
the rehab process.
If you have question, please call or write me, or e-mail me at
