ADJOURNMENT �2 - � 11 f, STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFIATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: April 21, 2003 Application Number: Property Location: Property Owner: 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.

Barrett 425 W. North Shore Dr. South Bend, IN 46617 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). 17, .Oro lu 14 1 7 fl- 71D I l ia 17, .Oro lu 14 1 7 fl- 71D STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFIATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: April 21, 2003 Application Number: 200- -0407 Property Location: 1617 East Wayne Street, South Bend, IN Property Owner: Leda and Melvin Hall Landmark or District Designation: East Wayne Street Local Historic District Rating: Contributing - 10 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT Built in 1926 by architect H. Russell Stapp for Whitcomb and Keller developers. 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. y y a yne Street Local Historic District 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. Figure S. Appropriate types of weatherstripping for metal windows. Weatherstipping is an important Part of upgrading the thermal efficiency of historic steel windows. The chart at right shows the jamb section of the window with the weatherstripping in place. Drawings: Sharon C. Park, AIA ti �1 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. Guidebook -0- r Twor an 0* ag- o Its, � RW�.If wirrwW!

Required Existing or original porches, stoops, patios and steps, including handrails, balusters, columns, brackets, tiles and roof decora- tions, shall be retained or replaced by repli- cas of the same design and materials when deteriorated beyond repair. Porches and additions reflecting later architectural styles and which are important to the building's historical integrity shall be retained. Recommended When enclosing porches for heat conserva- tion or for other reasons, it should be done in a manner that does not alter the architec- tural or historical character of the building. Prohibited Front porches, stoops, patios, and steps that are important to the building's style and development shall not be altered or removed.

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.

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.

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 EWHD Committee Member 04/16/2003 09:21 5742994783 PARKS AND RECREATION PAGE 01 r SOUTH BEND P S RIE CRJEATICON , DEPARTMENT 321 East Walter Street, South Bead, Indiana 46614 (219) 299 -4765 Fax (219) 299 -4784 F ax ' • � .. :fir, ' _ _•. - ,r ,• Nance: Organization: •f-f�� ' Fax: Phone• ' Front: t • Date: Subject: .

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. IV. OLD BUSINESS 1.
