2002 -0404
425 west North Shore Drive, South Bend, IN
Katherine & Matthew Barrett
Landmark or District Designation: West North Shore Drive Local Historic District
Rating: Significant; 12
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT
Built in 1927 by Albert A. Fulk. In his youth, Mr. Fulk was an employee of the George Wyman Co. In 1894,
he opened his own dry goods store on South Michigan Street. In 1921, he started a wholesale underwear and
hosiery business. In addition, he owned a dairy farm and was a stockholder and director of the American
Trust Company. 1927 was a prosperous year for the Fulk family. Not only did Albert Fulk build this house in
that year, Franklin and Mary Fulk bought the home at 1717 East Wayne Street in the same year.
Assessment records list Mr. Fulk himself as architect/builder, which is unusual, especially since this house has
a very high rating for architectural merit - 12 - on the Sec. of the Interior scale of 0 to 13. He either had
superb taste and judgment, or he purchased some very good plans. Additionally, the quality of materials used
in the original construction was very good, as one might expect from the substantial wealth of the owner.
Its character defining elements include its rambling and asymmetrical shape, solid, rustic materials, and its
tendency to the picturesque and the varied, rather than the formal, regular, or classical. Lawn, shrubbery, and
flower gardens all support that style.
APPLICATION ITEMS:
1) Expand existing basketball court from 40' x 20' to 52' by 40'.
2) Remove existing chain link fence.
3) Install two poles, on which netting may be installed to keep basketballs within bounds.
RECOMMENDATION
District standards, as stated on page 17 of the West North Shore Drive Local Historic District booklet, under
the heading Lawns, provides as follows:
"The current or historic landscaping character of lawns should be preserved. Paving and
blacktopping of existing lawns so as to transform them essentially into parking lots or
spaces rather than residential lawns must be prohibited. Front yard areas, trees, and lawns
must remain open. Fencing in front yards is prohibited."
The proposed paved area would be 2080 square feet, which is more than two and a half times the size of the
existing paved area.
In the applicants favor, it must be noted (1) that the proposed paved area is not in the front yard, and is not for
parking, and (2) that the proposal includes the removal of a fence, which is itself mildly detrimental to the
historic character of the district. The question then becomes whether it would alter the historic landscaped
character of a residential lawn.
Acknowledging it to be a close question, staff would nevertheless recommend against approval of this
application, because of the stress laid on the preservation of landscaped areas by the neighborhood in adopting
its standards.

4 -3 -03
We would like to improve and expand the existing basketball court that sits in the rear of
the east side of our property. The current court, which includes two hoops, sits on a 20 feet by
40 feet concrete slab. We would like to expand the court to approximately 52 feet (a regulation
basketball court is 50 feet wide) by 40 feet (a mulberry tree stands approximately 45 feet south of
the northern edge of the existing slab; we will stay at least five feet away from the tree). If at all
possible, we plan to keep the existing concrete slab and add: (1) approximately 6 feet to both the
east and west sides and (2) approximately 20 feet to the south side (because of an existing crack,
we may have to remove the entire slab and start over). We will either relocate or completely
remove the section of chain link fence on the south side of the court. We plan to remove the two
existing hoops (currently on the east and west sides of the court) and install a new fiberglass
backboard (on the north side of the expanded court). To keep basketballs from entering the alley,
we would like to install two poles inside the existing fence on the north side of the new court that
would support temporary netting (similar to what hangs behind the goal posts in football stadiums
to prevent kicks from entering the stands).

APPLICATION ITEMS:
Window replacement
RECOMMENDATION
The applicants windows are beautifully made and maintained, definitely enhance the historic character of the
house, and staff are united in agreeing that we wish we had them in our respective houses.
The owners wish to replace them with new windows because unfortunately some previous owner painted the
insides of the window frames, and Mrs. Hall has tested the paint for lead, and obtained a positive lead test.
The double hung windows in the rear addition to the house, though they are very similar to the existing
windows in the main part of the house, do not look nearly as nice, nor do they have the historic character of
the older windows.
Attached to this report is a copy of the relevant pages of the East Wayne Street District Standards, which
indicate extreme reluctance to allow replacement windows. Mr. and Mrs. Hall are to be commended for their
evident good care and maintenance of their home, which is doubtless reason why their windows are such a
particular example of the way in which the old wooden windows enhance the charm and artistry of historic
homes.
Nevertheless, if the existing windows really did test positive for lead, staff, with reluctance, recommends that
the application be approved, unless our architectural historian can recommend a satisfactory alternative
method of addressing the lead paint issue. Staff further recommends that the wooden storm and screen
windows be retained, as per the Wayne Street Standards, page 43 — 44.

C. WINDOWS AND DOORS
Window and door frames are of wood or
steel (some casements) or in the case of
brick structures, stone sills and brick lin-
tels. Where metal or vinyl siding has
been applied, window trim has been
covered. Storm windows are of wood or
aluminum.
Required
Original windows and doors shall be
retained including sashes, lintels, sills,
shutters, decorative glass, pediments,
hoods, and hardware. When deteriorated
beyond repair, they shall be replaced with
units and trim resembling the original.
Recommended
Wood frame storm win-
dows and doors painted to
match the original should
be used but should not
damage existing frames. If
new sashes or doors are
installed, the existing or
original materials, design,
and hardware should be
used. When metal storm
doors are used, they should
be painted, anodized or
coated to match the exist-
ing. When awnings are
used they should be of can-
vas material.

Casement windows adapted the English tra-
dition of using wrought iron casements with
leaded tames for residential use. Rotted steel
casements (either single, as shown, or paired)
were popular in the 1920s for Cottage -style
residences and Gothic -style campus architec-
ture. More streamlined casements were pop-
ular in the 1930s for institutional and small
industrial buildings.

Property Location: South Bend, IN
Property Owner: Patricia and Michael Stockrahm
Landmark or District Designation: Riverside Drive Local Historic District
Chapin Park National Registry District
Rating: Outstanding - 13
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT
Built in 1906 by W.W. Schneider and T.T. Austin for George Cutter, a year after he moved to South Bend and
began the manufacture of outdoor lamps. This house is one of the finest examples of Tudor Revival in South
Bend. In 1976, Lilly and Boller, who performed the HPC survey of historic properties that year, gave it the
same rating for architectural merit as Tippecanoe Place. Its style is irregular, rambling, and picturesque,
combining brick, stucco, and open timbering. It is designed to enjoy views of Leeper Park, and the St. Joseph
River.
APPLICATION ITEMS:
1) Aluminum spear- headed, 6 -foot tajl fence with butterflies along sides of back yard
2) Chain link fence, either 4 foot o oot tall, along back of back yard
3X Aluminum spearheaded fence along side yard /driveway, from back yard to front facade of house.
RECOMMENDATION
Except for its height, this fence meets all the guidelines for fences set out by the HPC, either in districts, or for
landmark properties,
Staff would recommend that the owners seriously consider a four -foot tall, rather than a 6 foot tall fence, as
the shorter fence will look more decorative, interfere less with view, and be more historically accurate for a
city or suburban residential /domestic fence.
In any event, staff recommends that the HPC approve the application, as to the back yard fences.
Staff would recommend retaining the existing fence along the side yard, because of its highly unusual and
interesting design. Note that it appears to be more like a farm fence than the more decorative fences often
seen in the city in the High Victorian era, and that its exposed fastenings and hand - crafted appearance presage
the Arts and Crafts or Craftsman style.

enamel, or "wet paint" finish, making it far more durable, fade- resistant and
scratch- resistant than other coatings.
MATERIALS: All Ultra Fence components are extruded from 6005 -T5 alloy,
with a minimum ultimate strength of 35,000 psi. Every fence system is assembled
with stainless steel, corrosion resistant screws, with heads painted to match the
finish of the fence. Ultra carries posts in a variety of thicknesses, punched to
accept the channel on the fence. Accessories are of zinc die cast or cast aluminu
All accessories are fully powder coated.
GUARANTEE: Every Ultra fence is guaranteed by our Lifetime Warranty. T is
guarantee covers our product against defects in workmanship and materials, as
well as chipping, peeling, or racking of the Polyester TGIC finish for as long as
you own your fence.

Re: South Bend Riverside Trail
Dear Ms. Hammond -Nash,
01319.01
I have discussed the two options for meeting with the Historic Preservation Commission
with the project manager, Steve Benczik. We would be available to present this project
to the commission and discuss anything needing attention during the regular meeting on
is Monday, April 21 at 7:30 p.m.
As far as the information we will need from you, to complete our categorical exclusion
document, I have enclosed some information pertaining to the Section 106 process from
the ACHP website. We ask that the commission review any historic properties or historic
districts that fall within the project's "area of potential effect" and conclude whether or
not the new trail will negatively affect any of these properties. I have also provided you
with a cross section view of the waste water treatment plant and the location of the trail
along the existing drive.
I hope this information is helpful to you. If you have any further questions, feel free to
contact me at my email address: kaw a.troveraroumcom or by phone: 259 -9976.
Sincerely,

April 11, 2003
Ms. Karen Hammond -Nash
Historic Preservation Commission
Of South Bend & St. Joseph County
County -City. Building
South Bend, IN 46601
Dear Ms_ Hammond -Nash:
1 am writing to you on behalf of the East Wayne Historic District. As you know we
protested the removal of large boulders from the island on the east and of Wayne
Street near the entrance to the Sunnymede area. The South Bend City Parks Dept
removed these boulders without a Certificate of Appropriateness and without notifying
the nearby neighbors. Both procedures are required of all residents of the EWHD
when they want to make any changes to their homes.
These boulders are more historic than the homes since they were here before the
houses were built. After the HPC protested to the City, they agreed to replace the
boulders. Small boulders were placed on the island but we do not think that they are
the original ones that were removed.
We request that you make an appointment for Paula and Ellen Eide, and Linda Riley
to go with you to try to determine the proper boulders that should be returned to East
Wayne Street. We request that the appointment be between 3:30 & 5:00 PM on a
Monday or Tuesday. We also would like to be present when they are returned to
indicate the proper placement on the island.
Please notify us of the time and date. Thank you very much for your help in this matter.
Yours truly,
"
Linda Riley

Re: The German Township and Warren Township area
Dear Neighbor:
It has been brought to my attention by residents in our district that we may have Indian or settler
burial grounds in our area. In order to pursue an examination by an archeologist, we would be
greatly helped by a brief letter from each of you who are interested, stating your interest in the
history of our area, and your wish that the responsible state office would pursue the examination
of the property suspected.
You may send your request to the following individuals:
Ms. Jennie Regan- Dinius, Coordinator
Indiana Cemetery Registration Project
Dr. J. Richard Jones, State Archeologist
Indiana Office of Historic Preservation & Archeology, DNR
Suite West — 274

Indianapolis, IN 46204 -2739
If it is more convenient, you may drop your letter off in my mailbox, and I will mail all of them
together. It is important that you respond as soon as you can, because we want the researchers to
put us on the schedule for this summer.
Thank you very much for your interest in preserving these historic and cultural resources while Al
there is yet time.
Very Sincerely Yours,

I. CALL TO ORDER
JOHN OXIAN: Call meeting to order at 7:34.
II. PUBLIC HEARING
A. CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS
1. 2003 -0404; 425 West North Shore Drive
KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: (See attached Staff Report).
CATHERINE HOSTETLER: Are Mr. and Mrs. Barrett here?
MATTHEW BARRETT: (See description of proposed work attached to the C. of A.
Application).
CATHERINE HOSTETLER: Do any of the commissioners have any question for Mr.
Barrett?
JOANN SPORLEDER: In the area immediately surrounding the basketball court, where
you are planning on expanding, is there any landscaping of any kind other than grass?
MATTHEW BARRETT: There is grass and there are shrubs partially along the outer
area.
JOANN SPORLEDER: I guess the nature of the question is: would any of these
landscaping elements need to be removed in order to do the expanding?
MATTHEW BARRETT: Some further shrubbery will need to be removed.
JOANN SPORLEDER: The second question I have is a question that you may or may
not be able to answer. In some areas, and I think in South Bend, has a total paving area
per lot requirement percentage -wise. Have you checked to see whether or not the
increased paving would in fact be allowable under another ordinance having nothing to
do with preservation?
MATTHEW BARRETT: I am not aware of any ordinance that I can think of that
pertains to this.
KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: I think I can answer that for you. There is a drawing that
the applicant submitted with his application that shows this area. This drawing does
show how the existing and proposed lot, house, and garage break up. It appears from the
drawing that while the proposed enlarged basketball court will be large, it will still be less
than forty percent of the total lot area that was proposed.
MATTHEW BARRETT: Stated what he thought the total size of his property lot was.
KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: I think that the building code requires that not more than
forty percent of the lot be paved. So, I think that you would be ok on that one.
MATTHEW BARRETT: We have a double lot and the basketball court is located at the
back of the lot.
JOHN OXIAN: I have several questions. I remember when we made this area into an
historic district; because, I was on the Standards Committee when this paved area was
there. What does the neighborhood think or what does the Liaison Committee or any of
them think about you expanding this? Have you talked to any of your neighbors about
this yet?
MATTHEW BARRETT: I have not talked to any of them yet.
JOHN OXIAN: I think that should be one thing that you should do. Is the light pole that
you are planning to have installed, a new light pole?
MATTHEW BARRETT: There is an existing light pole w ith a light that does not work
and we are not planning on changing it at this time. We have four children ages 3, 5, 7,
9, and my children are not in a position for me to let them play basketball at night.
JOHN OXIAN: I would recommend that you plant some type of shrubbery for the area
facing North Shore Drive. This will help to make the landscape around the basketball
court look more natural and blend in with the rest of the area; especially, since you are
planning on make the basket ball court larger.
JOHN OXIAN: I have already seen and know where the basketball court is located. So,
I would like to make a motion to expand this basketball court with new concrete under
the following two conditions:
1. That a nice shrubbery be planted facing North Shore Drive.
2. Check with the neighborhood to be sure that enlarging this basketball court will
Be acceptable to them.
MATTHEW BARRETT: I need to have both of these points clarified.
CATHERINE HOSTETLER: I think, John, you need to clarify this or you need to
discuss this with Karen.
KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: In other words, I am authorized to pull the paving
application and you will have to try again. There also needs to be a note written for Mr.
Barrett from the neighbors stating that they have no objections to this expansion.
JOANN SPORLEDER: I don't think that you need a note from the neighbors. I think
you need to only know that Mr. Barrett has spoken to the neighbors.
JOHN OXIAN: No, I made the motion and I want the note. I don't want someone
coming back later and asking when this verbal discussion took place. I want it in writing
so that there are no future arguments.
JOANN SPORLEDER: Well, he will need to know how many neighbors then.
CATHERINE HOSTETLER: He will at least need a note from both neighbors on each
side of his property, I would think. He would have to actually get some kind of written
notice from them stating that this expansion would be ok with them.
JOHN OXIAN: I would also like you to work with Karen on what type of bushes you
would like to plant in that area.
VIRGINIA O'HAIR: Seconds the motion and the motion passes unanimously.
2. 2003 -0407; 1618 East Wayne Street; replace 10 windows with new
Pella signature series windows.
KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: (See attached Staff Report).
MELVIN HALL: (See description of proposed work attached to the C. of A.
Application).
CATHERINE HOSTETLER: Is your contractor here with you tonight?
SCOTT PEACOCK: These are the Pella architectural series of windows. We are in fact
trying to keep with the historical nature of the architecture of the house. The windows
are all custom -made. They are not a replacement window they are a prime window.
So, we are intending on taking the existing window out completely so that there is no
deviation as far as glass size or sash size. I don't think at this point it would be necessary
for them to have the storm windows, in that they are going to have insulated glass. We
will be taking out the whole window frame work and I am not sure how the storm
windows would reapply; but, from the street you will never know the difference.
CATHERINE HOSTETLER: Does anyone from the commission have any questions for
either the Halls or Scott Peacock?
JOANN SPORLEDER: Yes, I would like to know whether the paint on the inside is
peeling, flaking, or powdering.
LEDA HALL: I would say that the inside is greatly deteriorated and is peeling, flaking,
powdering.
LYNN PATRICK: It is not clear to me. How many windows are we talking about here?
SCOTT PEACOCK: Eleven windows.
LYNN PATRICK: The windows that you pull out, will those be taken to a landfill,
recycled, or what will happen to them?
SCOTT PEACOCK: They will have to be discarded and I am not sure with the lead base
exactly what we have to do with them yet.
LYNN PATRICK: I am just wondering if there is any technology coming down the road
in the future where the lead base might be able to be removed and these windows might
find a later life somewhere.
SCOTT PEACOCK: Actually, they are not in as good a condition as they appear from
the street. None of the windows operate correctly and that is part of the problem as well.
However, we could leave the windows we take out inside for somebody else.
MARY JANE CHASE: Will the frame be vinyl?
SCOTT PEACOCK: The Pella windows are an aluminum clad.
MARY JANE CHASE: Asked a question about the finish.
SCOTT PEACOCK: They will be baked -on tan enamel to match the rest of the house.
JOANN SPORLEDER: I did do some research this afternoon. If the primary reason for
replacing these windows; is in fact, the lead paint. According to the research that I
managed to do, there are ways of possibly encapsulating the lead paint by applying new
current types of paint. This would then keep the lead paint in place and present no hazard
to it.
However, there are certain other kinds of circumstances that might apply. If the house
is going to be used by small children under federally funded programs for instance, then
the removal of lead paint would be mandated by HUD and other agencies.
However, in residential areas it is not quite clear whether those kinds of standards also
apply, and to what extent then the lead paint could in' fact be encapsulated by the new
current types of paint.
So, I would like to suggest that at this time if this is the primary reason for replacing
the windows that we do some further research into the absolute requirements and see if
there is some other way of handling this before they move on and remove the windows.
CATHERINE HOSTETLER: Mr. Hall did you want to address that question, or staff?
MELVIN HALL: I think the question that was asked was the primary reason for redoing
the windows. I don't know how I would define primary and secondary; because, there
are at least three reasons:
1. The lead paint on the windows
2. The windows are not energy efficient
3. The windows are not in good working condition
JOHN OXIAN: When you say that the windows don't work, are they painted shut?
MELVIN HALL: Yes, some of the windows have been painted shut. I believe, Scott,
can better inform'you as to the current condition and working order of the windows.
SCOTT PEACOCK: The current sashes are coming apart. A lot of the weight
mechanisms are not operable anymore. On some of the sashes, the emollients between
the glasses are loose. There are a multitude of reasons for having the old windows
removed.
JOHN OXIAN: Are these the windows with the steel weights in them?
SCOTT PEACOCK: Yes they are.
JOHN OXIAN: So, do you take the steel weights out if you remove these windows?
SCOTT PEACOCK: Yes we do.
JOHN OXIAN: If the paint is in the inside, why can't you just remove the wood on the
inside; instead of having to take out the whole window?
SCOTT PEACOCK: Are you referring to the wood on the inside or the paint on the
inside?
JOHN OXIAN: The wood.
SCOTT PEACOCK: The whole window is wood. The jam itself is wood as well as the
window sashes.
MARY JANE CHASE: On a window where you have paint that has been layered
through the years and it has chipped and it is flaking, covering this with paint would
encapsulate it; but, you would have a very ugly bumpy look. Now in order to get it to
look more attractive you almost have to sand it down, which would leave lead paint all
over the place. So you can't encapsulate it unless you smooth it down somehow.
LYNN PATRICK: I will make a motion, because we all to seem to be dead locked here.
I think we all hold a respect for the historic value of the windows. A lot of us live in
historic houses and we respect what it is like to have windows that don't work, are not
economical, lead based, and drafty. Pella is a fine product. I would like to see the
original windows kept, but I do understand their need also. So, I am going to move that
we accept what they are offering because it is going to be very high quality. Obviously
they are willing to spend the money to do this right and they also have to live in this
house.
Mary Jane Chase and Diane Wrobel -illes second the motion and the motion passes.
John Oxian and Joann Sporleder abstained.
3. 2003 -0414; 916 Riverside Drive; install 6' tall aluminum fence, part
decorative fencing and part chain link.
KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: (See attached Staff Report).
CATHERINE HOSTETLER: Are either Mr. or Mrs. Stockrahm here tonight?
PATRICIA STOCKRAHM: (See description of proposed work attached to the C. of A.
Application).
A discussion was then held between Mrs. Stockrahm and commission members regarding
the three application items listed in the attached Staff Report.
JOANN SPORLEDER: I will make a motion to accept application number 2003 -0414 at
916 Riverside Drive. To approve the following:
1. The aluminum spear headed six foot tall fence with butterflies along the back of the
yard.
2. The chain link fence which is four foot high across the back yard on the river side.
3. Aluminum spearheaded fence along side yard/driveway that is connected to the
garage and the house.
GERALD UJDAK: Seconds the motion and the motion passes unanimously.
CATHERINE HOSTETLER: I am now going to turn the meeting over to John Oxian.
C. HEARING OF VISITORS
1. Reverend Charles; River of Life Baptist Church, Taylor's Field
Historic District; regarding proposed move of house adjacent to
church, to allow church expansion.
REVEREND CHARLES JAMERSON: We are seeking to do some renovations on the
inside of our present facility. This would also include some exterior renovations as well.
Primarily, we need to remove or relocate an historical residential home that is currently
located on the lot next to our church.
JOHN OXIAN: If you are going to propose this then I would say, after having talked
with Karen about this, that you should meet with the Landmark Committee first and then
the Landmark Committee would come forth with a recommendation for the Commission
and then you could just come in with a C. of A. and go from there.
I would also recommend to those of you who know where the church is, that you go
out and look at the house and you can see for yourself that the house sits right up next to
the church.
KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: Is there anything that the commission could do in support
of your plans. Are there any city or county organizations that you're working with that
might be influenced by letters from us in support of this project?
REVEREND CHARLES JAMERSON: We did go to the owner previously and the only
thing on the owner's mind is to sell the property. We don't really want to own the
property. We realize that it still is a very nice home, and we don't want to purchase this
home and then later have to tear it down.
We would like to suggest to the present owner that we can in some way come to some
kind of agreement to where the house could be relocated to another location. From our
understanding the present owner has tried to sell the house on a couple of occasions with
no success. One of the main reasons the owner was not able to sell the house was
because of its location next to the alley. The house is almost touching our church and
'there is no yard whatsoever.
There are several lots in our area around the corner. If we could purchase the lot and
then do whatever we could do to aid in this, we would be more than happy to do.
JOHN OXIAN: That's why I say we should work on this together. Maybe we can even
work with Economic Development, because they are interested in developing this area
too.
KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: The point of the issue is that there is approximately eight
and one half inches between the walls of the church and the walls of the house. Both of
those actually have windows, which are completely darkened by the other structures.
Both buildings were built the same year.
JOHN OXIAN: On Charles Street there a lot of empty lots. Some of that land belongs to
Economic Development. When we made that into an historic district Economic
Development specifically asked us to leave that area out, the empty lots, because of the
possible development of those areas.
So far there is no development being done in this area. However, this would be
something that would help this area. That's why this is something that, I think, as a
committee we can work together on. We can also try and get the city involved by telling
them that we have a house that we would like to relocate to that area. We could also ask
them if they would like to help us in relocating the house to that area. We could then not
only help them promote that area, but also save the house.
REVEREND CHARLES JAMERSON: If we do this than it will be a win, win situation
for everyone involved.
JOHN OXIAN: I would then like to put this into Landmark Committee and then we will
come back with a proposal and then I will call a meeting on this.
JOANN SPORLEDER: What eventually would happen to the lot if the house were to be
relocated?
REVEREND CHARLES JAMERSON: We are doing interior renovations and that
particular space would eventually evolve into our main entrance. The present sanctuary
we presently have now seats approximately only twelve hundred and fifty people.
When we purchased the building about ten years ago, our congregation was only
about one hundred and twenty -five, which was fine at that time. Now our congregation is
approximately fifteen hundred and we do not have as much space as we did before.
What we are going to be doing, is utilizing the back portion of the building which is
now the auditorium. We are going to make the auditorium into a two -level sanctuary,
which will seat about eight hundred and fifty people. This would allow us to stay in this
area and to have a new main entrance.
Right now our church does not have a foyer space. We do not have any space up
front for any book stores, or gatherings, or anything of that nature.
JOANN SPORLEDER: So, are you thinking of acquiring the area once the house has
been relocated?
REVEREND CHARLES JAMERSON: Yes, we are. The property is all we are really
interested in.
JOHN OXIAN: Remember that if you put a new main entrance there, you will have to
come in for a C. of A.
REVEREND CHARLES JAMERSON: Yes, of course. We currently have an architect
that has been working with us on this proposed project for a while now. He is actually
the one who came up with the idea of us opening up our main space. The only thing we
are changing on the outside of the building is to create a new entrance.
JOHN OXIAN: Karen will get back in touch with you and then we will have a meeting.
MARY JANE CHASE: I will make a motion that we adopt a resolution in support of this
project.
JOANN SPORLEDER: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously.
2. Steve Benczik & Katie Wolfe, of the Troyer Group, regarding the
South Bend Riverside Trail.
STEVE BENCZIK: Made a presentation to commission members regarding the South
Bend Riverside Trail. Steve Benczik also presented to commission members a colored
schematic design concepts map as to what the proposed South Bend Riverside Trail
should look like upon completion. (See attached map).
A discussion was then held between Steve Benczik and commission members. The main
point of concern for commission members is how this proposed South Benct Riverside
Trial will affect the four local historic landmarks that are located along the length of the
trail.
KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: Mr. Benczik would like to have a letter from the HPC
stating whether or not the commission believes that the plan that is proposed would have
an adverse impact on the following historic landmarks:
1. The Wastewater Treatment Plant
2. The Darden Street Bridge
3. The Riverside Local Historic District
4. The Angela Bridge
If I understand the commission correctly, they are going to entrust me to write a letter
stating that there is no adverse impact on the local historic landmarks, or the local historic
district. Noting, however, that alterations to the landscape of any of the local landmarks
must first require a C. of A. before proceeding.
JOAN SPORLEDER: I will make a motion that Karen prepares a letter on behalf of the
commission for this proposed Riverside Trail.
VIRGINIA O'HAIR: Seconds the motion and the motion passes unanimously.
III. REGULAR BUSINESS
A. APPROVAL OF MINUTES (March)
JOHN OXIAN: Regarding the approval of minutes. Since you have not had time to read
them, I would suggest that we table them until next month.
B. LEGAL REPORT
THOMAS BODNAR: Introduced Mr. John Livingston as a new attorney who has
recently joined the City Attorney's Office.
I will also have more information regarding the Madison School situation at our next
meeting, now that I have extra help available.
D. STAFF REPORTS: C. of A. Approvals; Correspondence; Muessel-
Drewery's Brewery.
JOHN OXIAN: Regarding Muessel - Drewery Brewery, I would like to set up a meeting
with those of you that are on the committee. Martha is not here; however, both Joann and
Don are here. We have to get together on this, because I am sure we are going to get a
telephone call concerning this matter very soon.
KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: On C. of A. approvals, there have been two trees in the
Edgewater District that have been stormed damaged beyond recovery. I have granted
Certificates of Appropriateness to remove the storm damaged trees and to replace them
with similar trees, and to plant some bushes by the Erasmus Bookstore.
Regarding Correspondence, we receive some correspondence that I have passed out to
you from the East Wayne Street Local Historic District, regarding the restoration of the
boulders and the tree -lined parks there. I passed this letter from the Neighborhood
Association onto Betsy Harriman of the Parks Department, with a note asking for her
thoughts and ideas. Her response, (see attached note).
My thoughts are that if the Neighborhood Association is suggesting actually meeting
with the Parks Department, I think a meeting might resolve some of these issues one way
or another and maybe screen out some underline tensions. I am, however, open to any
thoughts and suggestions that commission members may have.
JOHN OXIAN: This subject was brought up at the Leeper Park Beautification
Committee meeting and we were informed that quite a few of boulders had been taken
back.
KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: I told you at the Leeper Park Beautification Meeting that
the rocks had been restored. I had been informed by the Parks Department, that in fact
the rocks were put back. Since then the Neighborhood Association has said that there
weren't enough rocks and that the rocks were smaller than the original ones. So, my
original findings report was apparently wrong.
The Parks Department did make an effort to restore the rocks; however, the
Neighborhood Association was not satisfied with their effort.
JOHN OXIAN: I think if they want our help that's fine; but, I think they should also set
up a meeting and talk with the Parks Department themselves as a committee. It should be
a joint effort and not just left to the HPC per say.
KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: The additional correspondence is in regards to the
believed Indian or settler burial grounds. Randy Sheepish and Mark Aspen, who are the
county council member and county commission member representing German and
Warren Township area have both met with me regarding that matter, and inquired about
what they might be able to do to assist their constituents in getting an archeological
investigation site. We do not yet have any response from the state archeologist as to
whether they would send their Cemetery Registration Project Archeologist to South
Bend.
In regards to the efforts were making and mostly in order to keep the Neighborhood
Association informed, Diane Wrobel -illes very kindly wrote a letter which we sent to all
the people in the proposed local district. (See attached copy of letter).
JOHN OXIAN: You have one more letter that you sent back to Tonya concerning Oliver
School. The letter was sent to us informing us that bids will be taken on the demolition
of the building and they wanted us to again inform them of what we would like to see
saved. We also included with that letter, the letter which we sent to Mr. Foti concerning
the discussion we had at the Leeper Park Beautification meeting, where he wanted all of
the fagade to be used on the parking garage facing St. Joe Street.
Karen, have you gotten in touch with Mr. Foti concerning this, since you sent that last
letter.
KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: I received a phone call from Mr. Foti thanking me for the
information.
JOHN OXIAN: That is the information that we have concerning the letter concerning
Oliver School. If they work with us and they work with Mr. Foti we could save all of the
fagade from Oliver School.
E. COMMITTEE REPORTS
1. River Bank Coordinating Committee
Meeting to be set.
LYNN PATRICK: (See attached Riverbank Coordinating Committee Report).
On a final note, I would like to say that he did state that they are computing interests and
nationwide competition for funding. Homeland Security concerns the federal
government, reduced federal funding. All of these come in to play in getting this and
other projects completed. I then commented back to him that HPC would be happy to
draft any letter that might support any funding. I also left my contact information with
them if they wanted to give me a call in the future about any new information that might
develop.
This report was based on about a sixty minute conversation with me frantically
scribbling notes and then sitting down and typing it up after words so that I could present
my report. I will do another file up report when I receive new information.
2. Jefferson School Advisory Committee
Meeting set for 2:30 March 23` SBCSC Office
JERRY UJDAK: We have a meeting set for March 23` at 2:30 at the professional
library at the South Bend Community School Corporation Building on the fourth floor.
Jerry then updated the commission on the current situation regarding proposing to do
with the windows and doors at Jefferson School.
A discussion was then held among commission members regarding the proposed work
that is to be done to the windows and doors at Jefferson School.
4. Historic Districts Committee
Proofs of district books; 1021 Portage Avenue; meetings to be set
KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: Martha Choitz is ill and so was not able to attend
tonight's meeting. She did set a date for the next Historic Districts Committee which will
be held on Tuesday, April 29 at 4:00 at the Commission office.
JOHN OXIAN: That meeting is to discuss 1021 Portage Avenue concerning what kind
of district we should set up in that area.
