STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS-�.- J Date: 10-08-03 1 Application Number: 2003-0916-01 Property Location: Angela Boulevard Bridge, South Bend, IN�,wx-- Property Owner: City of South Bend Landmark or District Designation: Local Landmark Rating: Significant ` D/ STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT 17, �e— -A - The current Angela Boulevard Bridge (now under construction and renovation) opened for public use in 1940. The City Engineer and City -Beautiful Movement proponent William S. Moore designed this bridge as the County looked to improve its infrastructure for the growing predominance of motor vehicles in the late 1930s. Moore was a key figure in the adaptation of City -Beautiful tenets to the city of South Bend's boulevard and park system, of which this bridge is certainly a part. He was also influential in the modernization of the city's water and sewage systems. It should be noted that Moore employed the Melan-Arch technology as the structural system of support for the bridge. This bridge construction method relied on bands of several metal arch rings aligned evenly and the protection of a concrete shell. The concrete was often poured to create decorative and classical elements with crisp lines. APPLICATION ITEMS: The City of South Bend and the Troyer Group propose the construction of a pedestrian trail along the St. Joseph River following Riverside Drive. The applicants propose the trail be 10' wide and made of bituminous materials. The trailhead will be located at the Angela Street Bridge and will continue north along the river. RECOMMENDATION During the 106 Review process for this trail project, the Historic Preservation Commission decided unanimously that the project would have no adverse affect or impact upon the four local landmarks in the area of potential effect, including the Angela Boulevard Bridge. Though a ten -foot wide path will impact the mostly grass covered landscape adjacent to the landmark bridge, the impact upon the bridge itself will be miniscule. The project will not affect the bridge's most significant historic features and sight lines of the river and its tree covered banks. The trail project may impact and hopefully remove a noncontributing and ugly gravel covered area located near the bridge. It may impact a minimal number of trees, most likely honey locusts. These are not related to the design of the Angela Boulevard Bridge and its period of historic significance in the late 1930s to 1940 nor do they significantly contribute to the sight lines and views from the bridge. The project will increase pedestrian traffic near this local landmark, which will more easily allow for public view of an historic structure connected to the development of South Bend's automotive thoroughfares and its City -Beautiful inspired parks and bridges. In agreement with the Commission's prior opinion and decision, staff recommends approval of this application for the construction of a pedestrian trailhead not more than 10' wide located at the west side of the Angela Boulevard Bridge.

No.: 0100330 1. Description of the undertaking. The South Bend Riverside Trail Project is located in the City of South Bend and will provide a safe and attractive alternative for both bicyclists and pedestrians along Riverside Drive from Angela Boulevard to Darden Road. The proposed trail is approximately 3.2 miles long and 10- feet wide. More specifically, the project is located in Sections 23, 26 & 35, Township 38 North, Range 2 East, German and Portage Township, South Bend, Indiana, as indicated on the South Bend West USGS Quadrangle map. This is a federally funded project that requires coordination with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The recommended area of potential effect (APE) is shown on the attached map and includes the area within the west side of Riverside Drive and the west bank of the St. Joseph River beginning at the intersection of Riverside Drive and Angela Boulevard and ending at the intersection of Riverside Drive andDarden Road. 2. Efforts to identify historic properties. In efforts to identify historic properties the following organizations were consulted: • The Indiana Department of Natural Resources, State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) • The Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology (DHPA) • The Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana • South Bend and St. Joseph County Historic Preservation Commission • The St. Joseph County Historian Early Coordination materials were also sent to the Indiana Department of Transportation (E (DOT), the FHWA, and all of the consulting parties listed above. In addition, an archaeological field reconnaissance report was prepared by the Archaeological Resources Management Services at Ball State University. 3. Describe Affected Historical Properties There are four Local Historic Landmarks within the APE of this project: (1) the Angela Street Bridge, (2) the railroad trestle bridge alongside the Angela Bridge, (3) the Darden Street Bridge, and (4) the old Waste Water Compressor Building and Administration Building at 3112 and 3113 Riverside Drive, which were built in 1955 in the Art Moderne style. The Compressor and Administration Buildings are eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historical Places because of their architectural merit, cultural significance, and educational value. 4. Describe the Undertaking's effects on Historic Properties There will be no adverse effects on any of the historic properties within the APE of the project. 6. Summary of Consulting Parties and Public Reviews Based on the results of the archaeological field reconnaissance report, there were no historic buildings, structures, districts, objects, or archaeological resources found within the project APE. The Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana surveyed the project area and found no historic properties affected. However, the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County reviewed the documents and concluded that there were four Local Historic Landmarks along the trail. After further review and by unanimous vote of the commission, it was decided that the proposed Riverside Trail will have no adverse affect or impact on any of the four adjacent landmarks or the local historic district. Certificates of Appropriateness will be required for any work that will touch the landmarks themselves or any landscaping that will be added within the yard of the Waste Water Treatment Plant. STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS / Date: 10-08-03 Application Number: 2003-0916-02 Property Location: Norfolk Southern RR Trestle Bridge, near Angela Boulevard, South Bend, IN Property Owner: City of South Bend Landmark or District Designation: Local Landmark Rating: Significant STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT A railway line first crossed the St. Joseph River near Angela Boulevard possibly in the mid 1890s. The Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa Railroad, known as the Three'T's, constructed the line and the earlier railroad bridge that crossed the river in the location of the existing bridge. The 1911 atlas of the city positively illustrates the existence of this railroad bridge. The Three'T's was a very successful railroad company that specialized in carrying freight. Its South Bend line provided businesses and manufacturers with direct access to all other rail lines entering Chicago. The northern branch of the line ends at the University of Notre Dame. In 1917, Michigan Central Railroad bought the line and hence the bridge until New York Central took over at an unknown date. The current trestle bridge, the second railroad bridge erected over the river at this location, was built in 1927 by either Michigan Central or New York Central. Several other railroad companies held ownership rights for the bridge. Norfolk Southern at one time leased rights to the bridge. It is now in the hands of the City of South Bend. Trestle bridges have a long association with the railroad. Railroad companies across the country spanned rivers and valleys with these and other types of bridges in order to connect the growing nation's commercial and industrial hubs. In the late 1800s, many of these bridges were built mainly in wood. As railroad companies modernized their infrastructure in the first half of the 1900s, they employed the strength and flexibility of iron, steel, and reinforced concrete. The trestle bridge crossing the St. Joseph River near Angela and Riverside is a fine example of an intact 1920s trestle bridge constructed with wood cross beams, an iron girders system, two concrete retaining walls, and four concrete piers shaped to direct the flow of water around the bridge supports. These piers recall the fortifications and masonry buttressing of some medieval bridges and castles. Two concrete retaining piers were built into the steep banks of the river and can be considered the ends of the trestle bridge. APPLICATION ITEMS: The City of South Bend and the Troyer Group propose the construction of a pedestrian trail along the St. Joseph River following Riverside Drive. The applicant and the architectural firm propose that the trail be 10' wide and made of bituminous materials. A pedestrian crossing will be laid/constructed to the west of the trestle bridge. In the opinion of the applicants, the crossing will not affect the condition of the railroad bridge and no renovations will be made to the bridge itself. The scaled drawing of the project illustrates the location of the at -grade crossing in relationship to the trestle bridge. RECOMMENDATION The Commission also included the landmark railroad trestle bridge in its decision during the 106 Review process. Though a ten -foot wide path would impact the flat, grass -covered landscape and the railroad tracks adjacent to the landmark railroad trestle bridge, the bridge itself will experience minimal impact. The project will increase pedestrian traffic near this local landmark, which will more easily allow for exposure of an historic structure connected to the development of South Bend's industrial and commercial activities. The more utilitarian character of the trestle bridge compared to the Angela Boulevard Bridge is evidence of the modern inclination for functional design, the wane of the passenger railroad in the 1920s, and the increasing prominence and public desire for automobiles and touring roads. In agreement with the prior decision and opinion of the Commission, staff recommends approval of this application for the construction of a pedestrian trail to the west of the trestle bridge not more than 10' wide. Staff recommends approval for at -grade crossing with the specification that any new material does not tie into the concrete retaining pier of the trestle bridge. u Banti !'Application ��+""P"r•, ,trht�r;r ti �' t • �;%j °: -FOR - r� Certificate of Appropriateness a tlf.:torir a Prrservtion Commission of $oulf, Send S.

Mr. John Greene, one of the first settlers in Sumption Prairie, built it for himself and his family, and another just like it for his children and their family. The children's house has been demolished long ago. After the Greene family, the Wunderlich and Pine families resided in this house. Architecturally, this house is highly unusual in that most Italianate houses are two stories or more in height. South Bend had, and still has, a number of interesting Italianate houses, because the style was much in favor during the city's greatest initial period of growth and prosperity. However, in the whole area only two one-story Italianate houses are known to have been built. With its flat roof, concealed, boxed -in gutters, regularly spaced elaborate (!) paired roof brackets against a very simple cornice board and cove molding, and with the very long vertical lines of the doors and windows contrasting with the strong horizontals of the porch, roof, and cornice, it can truly be said that every single feature of this house contributes significantly to defining its style and character. The architect did not include a single element that was out of place. Formerly, this house was located at 112 East Navarre Street. It was moved from that location to accommodate an expansion of Memorial Hospital, and the partial closing of Navarre Street. Memorial Hospital paid part of all of the cost of moving it to its present location, including providing the new foundation, in a brick style consistent with the style of the period. Also, South Hold Restorations performed a substantial amount of restoration work, including installing a new roof, with appropriate gutters and downspouts, repaired the plaster, refinished interior woodwork, and Al Choitz had good black dirt hauled in and a lawn planted in the new location on West Marian Street. In 1983, South Hold Restorations, as the owner of this house, and consented to local landmark status for it., At the time, its intact condition, including the intact original front door and windows, were noted as particularly distinguishing characteristics. In 1997, the then owners, a Mr. & Mrs. Mauch, apparently fell upon hard times, and began to have difficulty keeping the property up, as is evidenced by action taken in that year and subsequent years by Code Enforcement to require maintenance and repair to the paint, the roof, the gutters, and the downspouts. In 2001 and 2002, the elderly widow living there was constantly under threat of foreclosure due to unpaid back -due property taxes, which she generally managed to barely pay at the last minute allowed for redemption. Code Enforcement was unable to collect or threaten fines, because the owner had no funds subject to garnishment, and seemed hardly able to find funds for food to eat, let alone home maintenance. Recently, the present owner purchased this house from a realtor, hoping to use it as a rental investment. He claims that there was no legal trace of an easement, nor of landmark status, on this property. APPLICATION ITEMS: 1. Replace front door (boarded up when purchased) with Larson vinyl clad primary door and storm door; 2. Replace side door, repair side entrance; 3. Repair roof overhang and soffit (Including carved brackets, cornice and cove molding); 4. Install storm windows; 5. Repair or replace porch planking; 6. Replace windowsills; 7. Repair foundation sill plate. 8. Gutters & downspouts? RECOMMENDATION Clearly the new owner of this severely distressed house has some difficult and immediate problems to address in order to render it reasonably secure against the impending winter weather. The painting that has taken place is a good first measure. Because of the status of this house, and its location in the Chapin Park National Registry Historic District, the owner is eligible for federal and state tax credits for his repair and restoration work, PROVIDED that the work is performed according to the standards set by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior, which, in this case, roughly parallel HPC Standards. The difficulty is that much of the work proposed by Mr. MacDonald'would involve removal of historic material, and replacement with bland modern stuff of no particular style or character —vis., the Larson doors on the front of the house, the white -painted particle board over the front transom window, and the 1"x 5" board replacing the cove molding and cornice boards in front. Staff recommends that the Commission approve the following: 1. Immediate in-kind repair of the roof, gutters, and downspouts 2. Immediate in-kind repair of the porch deck boards, if and as required, 3. Replacement of missing window sills with identical wood window sills, fitted by a competent carpenter. 4. Repair with Abatron or another wood filler, or, if necessary, replacement in-kind of any other rotted or missing exterior wood work, including the side entrance and the soffit. Staff recommends that the Commission allow the replacement doors already installed in place of the original door or doors that were apparently stolen to remain ONLY until more appropriate doors may be found. The trim removed from around the front door should be replaced, NOT with the modern narrow little frame that came with the Larson door, but with a broad flat wooden frame replicating the original. If it was the present owner who removed the original doorframe, then he should re -install it. Because of the immense public investment (including grants from the City of South bend, Memorial Hospital, and South Hold Restorations) previously made to this house, staff recommends that no replacement or removal of original features be permitted, and that the portions of this application seeking such should be denied. Under the preservation standards applicable to local landmarks, the removal or alteration of character defining features is prohibited. In this case, that certainly applies to doors, windows, entries, roof brackets, and the cornice. Staff further recommends that oversight of the matters or repair to the roof, gutters, downspouts, soffit, cornice, and brackets, and of the doorways, entrances, and storm windows, window sills, and foundation sill plate, be placed jointly with the Facade Easement Committee, in consultation with the Architectural Historian. Further, staff is informed that Leslie Choitz and Ron Radecki may have more detailed information and material regarding this house in their personal Southold files. Staff is requesting their assistance. SOUTH BEND & SAINT JOSEPH COUNTY HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION 235-9798 MEMORANDUM Tuesday, October 14, 2003 TO: Martha Choitz, Chairwoman Standards & Maintenance Committee FROM: Karen R. Hammond-NashXAW-k' RE: 721 Lincolnway East; Report of Committee Meeting and list of guideline citations The Standards & Maintenance Committee met at the home of Jim Burke, 721 Lincolnway East, Edgewater Place Local Historic District, to discuss and attempt to reach a decision regarding the proposed second story exterior hot tub, deck, and hand rail proposed for the Lincolnway side of that residence. After extensive discussion with the homeowner, and among the members of the committee, Mr. Burke requested that his application be amended to read as follows: To take trellis down; lower hot tub [to a point at which the bottom of the tub is about 5 to 6 feet above the level of the floor of the walled garden, and the top of the tub is about a foot below the level of the wall], and to install a second story deck around the hot tub, with a hand/guard rail that would extend three feet above the wall, and which would have 1 %2 by 1 %2 vertical rails between handrail and deck with 1" spaces between, following the octagonal outline of new deck and the rectangular - outline of the deck that was built in 2001. There would also be a step between the two second story decks, and a wooden stair up to them, in addition to the spiral stair approved in 2001. The Standards and Maintenance Committee, by a vote of four to zero, voted to return this matter back to the full Historic Preservation Commission for final decision, sending it back to the Commission with a favorable recommendation. Although the recommendation is favorable, committee members retained reservations regarding the project that led them to believe that the full HPC should reconsider it. Martha Choitz has asked me to list the sections of the Edgewater District Guidelines that - - are applicable to this case. First, of course, are the general provisions that guide the manner in which all other provisions ought to be interpreted. The preservation guidelines selected by the Edgewater Place Local Historic District are Rehabilitation. See the very bottom of page 24, in the 2003 edition of the guideline book. Rehabilitation is a stricter standard than conservation, but not as strict as restoration. A There are argumentthat provisions related to roofs or mechlli RI systems should apply, but those are not the strongest of arguments, as both the proposed second level deck and the mechanical portion of the hot tub are proposed to be within the existing wall. The most clearly applicable sections of the guidelines relate to porches, page 35, and new construction, page 36. Also instructive is the section on building codes found on page 37. Regarding porches: There is concern among several members of the HPC, and also some neighbors, some members of the building department, and gateway associations, that the proposed oddly -shaped handrail, protruding above the wall of the walled garden, would alter the architectural or historical character of the building. While some Dutch Colonial or Georgian homes had second story balconies or porches with handrails, none that we know of would have had irregular shaped porches protruding from such a walled garden as this, at a level between the actual first and second floors. Regarding new construction: It is required that "Additions to existing buildings shall be related in height and proportion to the existing structure." Since the proposed second level decks, with the hot tub extending beneath one, and the one or two stairways leading to the upper decks, consume most of the space of the walled garden, the handrail extending above will give the appearance of two structures built one inside the other, neither with any reference or relevance to the other structure's purpose. On the same page, under "Prohibited" the guidelines provide that "Additions may not be constructed that would change the existing fagade of a building, alter its scale or architectural character, or add new height. While in principle a finely designed new porch or balcony might not alter the scale or character of this fagade, the design (or lack of architectural guidance) to this proposed addition give some observers concern. Note: Staff earlier recommended that Mr. Burke obtain artistic and historical guidance from the staff at Historic Landmarks Foundation, but that has not happened. HLFI did agree to serve as consultants, but a meeting has not been scheduled, the last that we heard. Guidebook Edgezvate4lce Local Historic District General Definitions (A) PRESERVATION Defined in these guidelines as the act or Process of applying measures to maintain or restore the form, integrity and materials of a building, structure or site, in its existing or original condition. It can include stabilization work, restoration or rehabilitation work, ongoing maintenance and/or prevention of demolition. (B) PRESERVATION GUIDELINES An outline of requirements and recommendations which are used as guides in the determination of appropriateness of proposed work within an Historic District The Historic Preservation Commission has established three sets of guidelines – Res- toration, Rehabilitation and Conservation. One of these will be selected for each Historic District at the time of implementation. This selec- tion will be based on the qual- ity and integrity of the architecture and environment of the District, and upon the rmk of the neighborhood organization. Note. The Guidelines selected by the I—as, A.Tar3e-fit Local Historic District are W) - Rehabilitation The preservation guidelines are defined as follows: (bl) Restoration Maintaining the original or unimpaired character of the District' as it was at the time of construction. Any restoration done must return the structure to its original state. Authenticity of a restoration would require the removal of incompatible exterior ele- ments and the replacement of all damaged or deteriorated elements with replicas of the same design and materials. New construction shall conform to the guidelines for defined elements of preservation regarding height, proportion and building materi- als. A Certificate of Appropriateness (CoA) applicant shall.beresponsible for docu- menting the authenticity of the proposed work to the satisfaction of the commission. (b2) Rehabilitation Maintaining the existing character of the District, and possible ssible returning it t its original condition. Any rehabilitation would not require the removal of all non - o Page 24 Edgewater Place Local Woric District Guidebook original materials but would encourage the removal of all such materials which are incompatible with the defined elements of preservation for the District. The design of new construction or alteration would not require the duplication of the original design and construction, but should be compatible with the existing structures aril the District's defined elements of vreservation. The use of original materials or con- struction techniques would be encouraged, but contemporary methods and materials would be acceptable when compatible. W) Conservation Maintaining a District in its existing condition by placing guidelines on new construction, and limiting demolition and moving. The use of contemporary methods or materials would be acceptable if they are compatible with the defined elements of preservation for the District. (C) ELEMENTS OF PRESERVATION Defined as specific areas of preservation covered within the guidelines. The elements to be defined for each Historic District, with the exception of those with Conservation guidelines, are as follows: I. Environment A. The District Environment B. The Building Site and Landscaping II. Existing Structures A. Building Materials B. Roofs and Roofing C. Windows and Doors D. Entrances, Porches and Steps III. New Construction A. Height and Proportion B. Building Materials IV. Safety and Building Codes A. Building Code Requirements B. Access for Handicapped or Disabled Persons V. General (D) GUIDELINE COMPONENTS Statements within the guidelines which specify the requirements and recommendations for the preservation of the characteristic relationships of the various features which are of significance to the appearance of the Local Historic District. "Shall" is defined as an expression of something that is mandatory or must be done. "Should" is defined as an expression of obligation, something that ought to be done but that is open to compromise. (E) GUIDELINE CATEGORIES Guidelines for the District will address each of the Elements of Preservation individual- ly within four divisions of classification. At the time of implementation of an Historic Page 25 f! Edgewater Place Local 1131 oric District D. ENTRANCES, PORCHES, AND STEPS Guidebook The majority of the houses in the district have either an open or a enclosed porch across the front or on the side. Most porches have either gabled or hipped roofs or are covered by the main roof of the house. A brick base with wood columns is common. Required Existing or original porches and steps, including handrails, balusters, columns, brackets, tiles and roof decorations shall be retained or replace with replicas 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 conservation or for other reasons, it should be done in a manner that does not alter the architectural or historical character of the building. Prohibited V0111 -; Porches and steps that are important to the building's style may not be altered or removed. Not Recommended 0.1 n14aC4V1C..J _3 Original porch details should not be replaced with materials representing a different period or style from the original. E. MECHANICAL SYSTEMS The majority of the structures within the district have oil or gas heat, and have a single brick chim- neys through the roof. Some houses have one or two window air conditioners. Required Required mechanical systems shall be placed in areas that will result in the least possible alteration of the structural integrity and physical appearance of the building. Recommended Window air conditioners and exhaust fans should be installed at the rear or an inconspicuous side window. Early mechanical systems, including early plumbing and lighting fixtures, should be uti- lized whenever possible. Prohibited Holes shall not be cut through walls in areas that can be seen from the street to accommodate air conditioners or other mechanical equipment. Not Recommended Exterior electrical and telephone cables should not be attached to the principle elevations of the building. Page 35 Guidebook III. NEW CONSTRUCTION A. HEIGHT AND PROPORTION The majority of structures in the district are two stories in high and are square or rectangular in plan. There are a few single story bungalows. The most prevalent facade proportions are between a 1:1 and 1:2 height to width ratio. Required The height of a new structure and its height to width proportions shall be consistent with adjacent buildings in the district. The building height shall be no greater that that of the tallest existing structure and no less than that of the lowest existing structure in the same block. Facade proportions shall be established by by permitting no structure with a facade wider or narrower than those existing in the same block. Additions to existing buildings shall be related in height and vrovortion to the existinz structure. Recommended Edgezva —lace Local Historic District Height — this is n -u rein T a mandatory f— Ayrmw Criteria that LIE[iz tiff 130 new buildings be constructed n rl to a height within 10% of the average height of existing adjacent buildings.

Page 37 STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: 10-08-03 Application Number: 2003-0918 Property Location: 106 N Main Street, South Bend, IN (108 N Main Street) Property Owner: John Friedline Landmark or District Designation: John Mohler Studebaker Building, Local Landmark & National Register Multi -Resource Area Rating: 0/13 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT In 1910, the J M Studebaker building opened its doors as.South Bend's largest and its most modern office building. John Mohler Studebaker, Vice President and Chairman of the Board, had hired a noted Chicago architect, Solon Spencer Beman, to design the building with the best in fireproof construction —reinforced concrete, granite, terra cotta, marble, and fireproof tile. Beman also designed Pullman, Illinois, a planned industrial city with neighborhoods for workers and management just outside of Chicago, Sunnyside, the home of J M Studebaker, which once stood on the corner of Eddy and Jefferson, the Studebaker Administration building, the South Bend YMCA, and a host of other buildings and residences located in the Midwest. JMS building is an example of the commercial vitality of downtown South Bend during its boom in the early decades of the twentieth century as well as an architectural gem from an era that valued an urban core, visual splendor and'ornate details. This Classical Revival building still stands as a reminder of the civic ideals and interests of one of the city's most powerful and wealthiest families — the Studebakers. It is also an example of the 1960s aesthetic viewpoint in favor of modernizing urban buildings and fagades with simplified lines and cheaper, modern materials. As a victim of South Bend's urban renewal projects, much of the first -story terra cotta stonework and the portico entryway facing Main Street were stripped from the JMS building when the renovations occurred. Aluminum siding, reflective granite, a pebbly composite material, new fixed windows and new storefront entrances now scare the first floor of this building. The original terra cotta header/sills, terra cotta window surrounds and the three plate glass windows that were once visible in the same bay as the Christian Science Reading Room as shown in a drawing of the building may still exist beneath the visible aluminum siding. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant John Friedline, owner, and Skip McCray, the representative of City Awning, propose to install a 14' long, 4' tall, and 5' deep awning above the main entrance to the Christian Science Reading Room at 106 N Main Street, the J. M. Studebaker building. The bottom of the awning will rise 8' 6" above the sidewalk. The awning material will consist of a fabric covering, aluminum frame, and Z brackets. The Z brackets would be attached to the masonry wall of the building with 3/8" by 4" Lag bolts. The bolts would pierce the non-contributing aluminum siding covering the fagade as well as what is underneath this siding, possibly the terra cotta header and window surrounds and the plate glass windows. RECOMMENDATION The applicant does not know whether or not original terra cotta masonry work or another portion of the original fagade remain beneath the aluminum siding. Studying historic photographs and drawings of the building as well as the building itself, there is a possibility that the aluminum siding covers three plate glass windows set above a terra cotta or stone header and in between terra cotta or stone surrounds. The fastenings of the awning may pierce original parts of the fagade if not the plate glass windows. As the bolted Z brackets could possibly damage hidden portions of the original fagade, staff cannot recommend approval of this application until assurance can be given that the bolts will not penetrate terra cotta or the plate glass windows. If the material behind the aluminum siding is not original, staff then recommends approval of the awning once this is determined.

Located on the northeast corner of Main and Washington Streets, the eight - story office building is close to the Court House, the City -County Building and the new First Source Bank -Marriott Hotel complex. The exterior design is ornamental, graceful and dignified. The building is easily identifiable from the main highway by a graceful sign on the north facade. The first story starts with polished granite with the balance of the street fronts of ornamental enameled white terra cotta. Energy saving windows which carry through the design of the building have been installed on the Main and Washington Street fronts. Each office has individually controlled heat and air conditioning through a water source heat pump system. The entire building has been remodeled and modernized since 1971, making it among the finest in South Bend. (Illustration taken from original architect's rendering) A.G.A.

North Shore, South Bend, IN Property Owner: Mary Ann Sheets/ Ronni Sheahan Landmark or District Designation: West North Shore Local Historic District Rating: S/12 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT This stately 1905 Neo -Classical Revival home sits on the second lot from Michigan Street and has views of the Saint Joseph River, the Leeper Bridge, and Leeper Park.. Two-st6ry Ionic columns grace the front porch on this clapboard sided home. Several classical balustrades line the home' i s balconies in addition to classical entablatures and dentil moldings. This home reflected the growing popularity of the Neo -Classical style, which the Chicago's Columbian Exposition triggered at the end of the nineteenth century. The first owner of this home, Dr. Edwin Lent, lived in this home for thirty-five years. He received a deed for the property in 1903, which also included specifications for the maintenance of his yard and the placement of barns and other structures. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: L.L. Geans submitted the application on behalf of Mrs. Sheets for: 1.) A concrete block privacy and security wall 8' tall and 32' long from the garage to the east property line and 6' tall and 24' long along the east property line (Note: the portion of the wall along the east property line would stand upon an existing 40" concrete block retaining wall and tic into an existing wood fence). a. The wall would be constructed of 8" concrete blocks and capped with limestone or cement, b. The interior would be faced with brick, c. The east wall would have an exterior Thoroseal coating, d. The north wall would be covered with ivy to conceal the view of the concrete blocks from - the alley, and 2.) The removal of a concrete parking pad, which has already been completed. Staff is ecstatic that this was removed, but wishes Mrs. Sheets had filed an application before the work was done. Mrs. Sheets also plans to landscape the area where the parking pad once was and envisions her yard as a terraced garden. Her landscaping plans are a vast improvement to the parking pad. The project also calls for the removal of a portion of the existing wood fence that presently stands above the south side of the removed parking pad. Moving this portion of the fence will enlarge and enhance the rear yard of the property. Staff believes the current proposal could be modified to reuse the wood fence that now stands above the removed parking pad in order to continue the existing wood fence the length of the eastern property line. Staff feels this is a much better proposal and understands Mrs. Sheets is amenable to this change. RECOMMENDATION Part I: Eastern Wall After reviewing this application, staff feels quite strongly that the construction of a concrete block wall along a portion of the eastern property line between 103 and 107 West North Shore would be an inappropriate. addition to the district. The district guidellnes prohibit the use of concrete blocks except as foundations for new constructions and additions (23). Staff interprets foundations to mean those support structures hidden from view, i.e. basement foundations. Even though the wall would be faced on the interior with brick, staff is mainly concerned that the concrete block wall would be visible to anyone driving along Michigan Street and living in 103 W North Shore. The wall constructed along the eastern property line of 107 W North Shore would also create a substantial negative intrusion upon the property and historic character of 103 W. North Shore, an Eclectic Queen Anne that is rated Significant/11. Staff deems this portion of the project inappropriate and does not recommend approval for the construction of a wall (concrete block or of other masonry material) along the eastern property line. The shift of the existing wood fence from above the removed parking pad to the unfenced portion of the east property line would be appropriate to the district. It follows the district guidelines regarding fencing and corresponds to the Commission's approvals of fences constructed of less permanent materials (wood and coated metal link) along side and rear yards in the West North Shore district. Staff recommends approval for the continuance of the wood fence along the eastern property line. Part Il: North Wall The concrete block wall faced on the interior with brick of the north side of the property would stand 8' tall and line the alley similar to an 8' tall wall erected at 113 West North Shore. The concrete block would be visible on the alley side. Mrs. Sheets does plan to cover the alley side of the wall with English Ivy. The north wall would be less visible from Michigan Street than a wall built on the eastern property line and the continued wood fence would conceal the wall from view from 103 West North Shore. The alley has seen many changes over the years, including the erection of various security fences and walls, and garages. At 107 West North Shore, the landscape adjacent to the alley was greatly changed by the excavation of the yard and the removal of a portion of the original concrete curb for the paving of the parking pad. Due to these changes along the alley and to the landscape of 107 W North Shore's rear yard, significant landscape features will not be affected. Jerry Udjak has expressed concern regarding the possible difficulty some emergency vehicles may have accessing properties because of the wall as well as possible problems of access to the existing garage located just north of the proposed wall. Staff notes that a wall restricting access in these manners could be prohibited by other agencies even if the Commission were to approve it. Staff also advises the Commission to reflect on the possible cost to future owners to maintain or remove a concrete block wall. Staff finds the north wall would be appropriate as long as the wall design meets municipal code and the Commission feels the material of the wall meets the District's guidelines for acceptable materials. The zoning code states that walls and fences can be 6' tall and if taller than 6', the portion of the wall above 6' must be 30% open. The maximum height of any wall or fence is 8'. Staff recommends Commission approval for any trellis, trees, climbing vines, and other more permanent landscape features Mrs. Sheets would like to add to the application.

Hammond -Nash, Director Saturday, September 20, 2003 Mr. Jerry Kline 113 West North Shore Drive South Bend, IN 46617 RE: proposed fence & other renovations at 107 West North Shore Drive Dear Jerry: Thank you for your call Friday. I was in meetings all day that day, and did not receive your message until Saturday. I will be on vacation next week, so I am responding by a quick note before I set off. It is unlucky that apparently neither the person who sold this house to Mrs. Sheets, nor any of her neighbors, informed her that she lived in a historic district, and needed a Certificate of Appropriateness for work done to the exterior of her home. It is even more unlucky that appar- ently none of the contractors who performed work for her, including replacing the roof, rebuild- ing parts of the porch, and re -pouring the concrete walks and steps around her house, happened to remember to apply for building permits (or C of As) before performing their work. Since building permits are required in every part of South Bend and St. Joseph County, such universal forgetfulness is truly perplexing, especially since, as far as I know, all those projects would have received almost instant approval, and the failure to get building permits as required can subject contractors or homeowners to fines, and contractors to action against their licenses. Not only would C of As have been readily granted for most or al of those earlier projects, you can the imagine the absolute joy with which we would have approved the removal of the ugly parking pad (really a small parking lot) in the back yard. The most recent contractor to forget to apply for a permit at 107 West North Shore Drive was L.L. Geans, who "forgot" to apply for a building permit for a six foot -plus concrete block fence, even though eve fence, anywhere in the City, even a fence just two feet long, requires a building permit. Every licensed contractor who installs fences in South Bend knows that, even if, as he says, he did not know that fences in historic districts required C of As. I do not know what fines he or his employer may be subject to, nor want action, if any, may be taken against his license, as that is entirely under the authority of the Building Department. From my point of view, he deserves any thing he gets. It is because of this failure to get permits in advance that work on the proposed concrete block fence was stopped in progress. While it was the Building Department, and not HPC, that stopped the work, HPC is entirely in agreement with the Building Commissioner, and believes that that department acted exactly as it should. COMMISSIONERS Mary Jane Chase Virginia O'Hair (Secretary) Gerald Ujdak (Vice President) Martha Choitz Lynn A. Patrick Diane Wrobel-Illes Catherine Hostetler (Treasurer) Joann Sporleder (Architectural Historian) John Livingston (Attorney) • Page 2 Jerry Kline On Friday, September 19, in the early afternoon, Mrs. Sheets' contractor, L.L. Geans, at last came into our office with a Certificate of Appropriateness. I have not had a chance to read it yet. Our Assistant Director has taken some photographs of the site, and we both, with the Standards & Maintenance Committee, will review it in detail as soon as we can, and will give it the same consideration that we would have given it if it had been honestly and straightforwardly presented in a timely fashion, before the work began. It will be heard at our next monthly meeting on October 20, 2003. While it is clear that there is some deceit and subterfuge here, and an effort, at first, to evade the normal review required in any neighborhood, let alone a historic district, we have no way of knowing by whom that subterfuge was instigated, and so we will simply treat all parties, including Mrs. Sheets, as if they were the honest ones, in the hope and expectation that there will be nothing but straight forward behavior from all parties here forward. Yours, Karen R. Hammond -Nash, Director C: Building Department Mrs. Sheets L.L. Geans J. Oxian Standards Committee October 6, 2003 Karen R. Hammond -Nash Historic Preservation Commission 227W Jefferson Blvd. South Bend, Indiana 46601-1830 RE: Proposed fence at 107 W. North Shore Drive, South Bend, Indiana Dear Karen, This letter is in response to the blind copy of your letter to Mr. Jerry Kline, dated September 20, which I received on September 23, 2003. 1 would have responded earlier but I was out of the city. I appreciate your consideration with this mailing, as it not only brought me up to date, but has informed me as to why the work on the construction of the fence was stopped. Mrs. Sheets was aware that she lived in a historic district, just as I'm sure the people who sold her the home were. She and I had also spoken of this several times. I cannot say why she obviously claims to be unaware that she needed a Certificate of Appropriateness, or a building permit. (I didn't even realize a building permit was needed for a fence.) I would like to relate the sequence of events, as I know them, prior to your becoming aware of the proposed fence and back yard renovation. For several months prior to the arrival of contractors, Mrs. Sheets had spoken of her desire to remove the parking pad and place a fence around her property. Specifically, the erection of an east/west cement block wall (along the alley) and the continuation of the existing north/south wood fence (between 103 and 107 W. North Shore). The wood fence which presently runs at the south end of the parking pad was to be moved to connect with the existing north/south wood fence and continue to the alley. It would then hook into the cement block wall. Mrs. Sheets asked me what I thought of this and I informed her that I could not stop her from erecting a fence, but I did mention to her that it would cause me to loose some afternoon sun. I never had any intention of objecting to her building a fence. At this point there was no mention of a cement block wall between the properties. Several weeks later she phoned and said that she was thinking of putting a door in the fence so that I would not feel closed out. That never crossed my mind. I informed her that since the fence was for security, I felt it better that she not put in a door. I could always walk around to the door located on the west side of her yard. In retrospect, I feel that at this time she must have changed her mind from continuing the wood fence to the construction of the cement block fence. On the morning the contractor arrived and began digging out the parking pad, I went out to speak with them. It was on this day that the contractor informed me of Mrs. Sheets' plan to build a cement block wall that would not only run along the alley, but also north/south and connect to the existing wood fence. I was in shock to say the least. I phoned her about this and she told me she had thought long and hard about the cement block fence and she seemed to dismiss that she ever told me about continuing the wood fence between the full length of the properties. W did not rest easy that night. I knew I could not stop her from putting up a fence but I felt the cement block construction would not only be aesthetically inappropriate and unsightly between the properties (half wood/half cement block) but could decrease the value of my property. f Page Two As Mrs. Sheets knew how upset I was with her change of building plans, she asked that we keep up communication. I did just that. After a restless night, I phoned her the next morning to tell her that I was going to check the building code regarding fences. I was hoping that a cement block wall as she was proposing to build would not be up to code. I returned home and phoned her again to tell her that there was no stipulation regarding materials used and I could not stop her from building it out of block. I might add that she was very sharp and unfriendly with me with regard to both my phone calls and hung up on me. Upon receiving the blind copy letter from you, I felt a ray of hope. I was unaware that a Certificate of Appropriateness was needed since a wooden fence already existed. If I had known this, I would have contacted you. I am not objecting to the erection of a fence. However, I do object to the materials proposed to be used, namely, the cement blocks between properties. At present, my property has a brick wall along the alley or back of my yard. I also have a brick patio for the picnic area in my yard. Half way from the front portion of the back yard is the wooden fence belonging to Mrs. Sheets. The building of a cement block wall would place a third type of material into play. I have casually mentioned the building of this fence to several friends when they visited, one of whom lives in a historical home on the south side of South Bend. All stated that the wood fence would be more appropriate. I am hoping that you, your assistant director and the Standards and Maintenance Committee will review the above. The construction of the cement wall (fence) will not just affect the property of Mrs. Sheets. It will also affect the good taste of my back yard. I have enclosed several pictures with captions on the reverse side. Hopefully, this will give you a better perspective of the situation. I am planning to attend the meeting on October 20, 2003. If requested, I will be available to make a statement on the above. Thank you again for your consideration. If you should have any questions prior to the meeting, please feel free to call me at 574-233-4722. Respectfull , Kathryn . Kerr 103 W. North Shore Drive South Bend, Indiana 46617 5 enc. mate: Application Number: Property Location: STAFF REPORT 0 CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS 10/07/2003 2003-0929-02 1512 East Wayne Street, South Bend, IN Property Owner: Sally Bostick Landmark or District Designation: I East Wayne Local Historic District Rating: Contributing/ 9 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT. 'd%e-A-4 Though built in 1926, the first owner, Guy DeRhodes, bought the home in 1927. DeRhodes was the secretary -treasurer of the DeRhodes-Yerrick Motor Company, a dealer for Dodge Bros. Motor Vehicles and Graham Trucks. He rented the home to a few families in the 1930s including: the Bondys and the Gablers. Mathias Gabler was a master brewer at the South Bend Brewing Company. After DeRhodes sold the home in 1938 or 1940, several others have owned the property. John and Theodosia Gonas lived in the home for just over forty years. John served as a judge for the Saint Joseph County Juvenile Probate Court and the Indiana Appellate Court before he retired in 1963. This house is a more modest example of the Second Renaissance Revival Style (1890-1930). Square in plan with a symmetrical fagade and a hipped roof with broad overhangs, the home retains simplified though elegant details of this often opulent style including: the three decorative engaged arches over the two pairs of French doors (10 lights per door) and the single leaf 15 light front door and the decorative downspouts. The home also has several other window openings of various sizes and shapes including: two arched openings with three and four, 6 light casements with wood (?) infill in the arches. APPLICATION ITEMS; —'he homeowner, Sally Bostick, proposes to: 1.) Remove 2 double hung windows from the rear of the home (as shown in photos), 2.) Install Pella Designer Series French doors with wood grill, and 3.) Construct concrete steps with brick trim to match the front entryway steps and landing. RECOMMENDATION The East Wayne Street guidelines provide the following guidance regarding the above proposal: "new windows and door openings which would alter the scale and proportion of the building shall not be introduced" (44). As the Commission has approved several rear additions that required the altering of the window and door openings in the East Wayne Street District, staff feels that this project follows the Commission's. Staff considered the following for its recommendation to the Commission: 1. the changes will not be seen from East Wayne Street and will therefore not affect the facade and the public's view of the home. 2. the proposed French doors are compatible with the style of this home as it was originally designed with French doors leading out of the first story facade, 3. the removal of the double hung windows and the installation of the doors will not greatly alter the existing opening (i.e. the brick header course will remain, the brick below the existing window will be removed and salvaged for the trim of the steps), and 4. since the new landing and steps will refer to the original concrete front steps and landing with brick trim, staff feels the proposed steps are appropriate. The front landing also has an interesting grid pattern pressed into the concrete. This pattern could be replicated on the rear landing, if the owner so chooses. Staff recommends approval of this application, which includes the removal of the twin double hung windows on ---ie rear of the home, the installation of the Pella French doors, and the construction of the landing and steps to 4atch those on the front of the home with concrete and salvaged brick. If the double hung windows do happen to be original, staff suggests they be wrapped and stored in the basement or garage of the home. Epplicati.on - FOR - �.

Several other members of the Zeitler family lived here as well — Albert, a draftsman, Blanche, a seamstress, Ethel, a clerk for Oliver Chilled Plow, and Zora, a clerk for the South Bend Watch Company. Lawrence worked for the Studebaker Corporation for several years. The Zeitler family lived in this house until 1979. As an example of the American Foursquare style, the front porch carries a prominent position in all views of the front of the home. The open front porch has three bays formed by Tuscan columns on pedestals, a hip roof, and balustrade. The porch offers -a welcoming transitional space between the interior of the house and the exterior space of the yard and front walk. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: John Oxian proposes to enclose his front porch in order to create a greenhouse space for his multitude of plants. John's application calls for enclosure on the short sides of the porch with boards covered with vinyl siding to coordinate with the first floor wood clapboard siding. The front of the porch would be enclosed in "a similar manner and openings will be present for a doorway and windows. RECOMMENDATION As proposed, staff feels that much of the home's style and distinction would be lost if the porch enclosure sought to cover the Tuscan columns, the pedestals, and the balustrade and created opaque walls on all sides of the porch. The use of siding on the sides of the porch would greatly change the present openness of the porch and decrease the ability of light to enter the porch. Staff has recommended additional windows or storms that could be replaced with screens in the summertime. With more "wall" area filled by windows and/or screens, the enclosure would seem more transparent and retain more of its original style, proportions, architectural prominence and its use as a transitional space. A sliding or casement glass door would also improve the transparency of the enclosure. Floor to ceiling windows and screens placed behind the balustrade and the columns would provide the optimum light and air condition for a greenhouse space and would retain the architectural details and design of the front porch. Staff recommends that the owner could place boards below and behind the balustrade if floor to ceiling windows and screens are not to be found, but would suggest that only windows and screens be used above the balustrade in order to maintain as much transparency of the open porch as possible. Staff recommends further discussion of this project with the Standards and Maintenance committee and would appreciate the input of our architectural historian.

It was built in 1905 for the South Bend Brewing Association's brewing and the local distribution of beer. A group of Polish, German, and Hungarian tavern operators from the city's west side organized the association and raised funds through the sale of 10,000 shares of stock and the lease of taverns. These funds were most likely used to erect and run the brewery. It was well known for Tiger and Hoosier Beers. The brewery produced beer until Prohibition and the Volstead Act of 1919 forbid the production of alcoholic beverages. In order to stay in business, the Associationrevised its charter and began producing ice cream, candy, cereal beverages, malts, and soft drinks. In 1922, the group became the South Bend Beverage and Ice Association. After the repeal of Prohibition, the company again brewed and distributed beer in the Michiana area and experienced sustained success until the late .1940s. In November 1950, the brewery closed. An excise tax of $8 per barrel of beer was blamed for the demise of the Association. Since 1950, several businesses have used the building including: Polar Ice and Fuel, White -Way Glass Company, I. W. Lower Company, which specialized in paints, McDaniel's Harley-Davidson, Acme Design Service, Indiana Glass and Classic Boutique. The Gothic castle -inspired architecture of the building with a corbelled cornice beneath brick battlements and towers facing Lincolnway West externally illustrates the procedures employed to brew beer. The four to five - story front portion of the building reflects the need for gravity flow to facilitate the brewing process. The horizontal portion of the building and the smoke stack contained the power, heating and refrigeration equipment as well as the loading facilities. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Staff received an application from Ms. Anderson for a new parking lot, trees, and other landscape plantings. The owner also submitted a site drawing prepared by architect, Greg Kil. The Commission approved a similar version of this project in July 2000. This approved C of A included: a new parking lot, lights, curb cut, and drainage, saving any good trees, and the lowering of two second story window sills. The revised project includes two small drainage basins and three dry wells with increased capacity. The basins will be located near Lincolnway and the railroad tracks and the other at the south side of the property. Ms. Anderson plans to complete the paving of the lot in two stages. The first will extend from Lincolnway West to the rear edge of the building, or about 172' to 180' and will provide 43 parking spaces. Staff believes the pavement will extend about 62' from the eastern side of the building along Lincolnway West. The second phase of the project will provide 15 more spaces and it will be completed on a later date. Because this parking lot will have access from Lincolnway, the curb cut on College Street will not be needed at this time. Ms. Anderson also proposes to plant a maple tree in the tree lawn along Lincolnway West in front of _ building and included flowers on her application. I RECOMMENDATION The property now has gravel spread in the side yard with areas of broken pavement and sidewalk. A more regularized and lined parking area in the place of the existing gravel and broken concrete would improve the appearance of the site and perhaps draw more business and tenants to this Landmark building. The paved parking area and the shallow drainage basins will not affect any landscape feature or structure of significant historic value to this property. The parking area and the drainage basins use the space appropriately given the commercial nature of the building. Staff finds the planting of a tree in the tree lawn also appropriate to the property. As flowers, in general, are temporary landscape features Ms. Anderson may go forward with planting them; however, if more permanent flower beds and landscape features are desired a landscape plashould be presented for the Commission's review. Staff recommends approval of the removal of broken areas o avement, the installation of an asphalt parking lot on the eastern side of the property and tlecessary drai wells, and the excavation of two shallow retention basins. Staff recommends approval of boilr'tages o e paving of the parking lot based on Greg Kil's site plan. Staff also recommends approval for t�lanting of a maple tree in the property's tree lawn on Lincolnway West and recommends including the 07approval of future planting of additional trees in the tree lawn with this Certificate. \1 Applicatim -FOR- Certificate of Appropriateness Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend do St. Joseph County 125 S.

Sought support from HPC for HLFI proposed Route E that will 162 bypass "the Big Squeeze" between the Ullery/Fameman farmhouse and the Southlawn 163 Cemetery. HLFI Route E uses farm ground to the west and then hooks into current US 31 164 south of Kern Road. This proposal will save several other properties that would otherwise be 165 destroyed or need relocation. It will maintain the southern entrance to South Bend, and fulfill 166 InDOT's Purpose and Need statement. 167 168 TODD ZEIGER: Historic Landmarks Foundation believes Route G will have serious impacts 169 upon significant historic farms and landmarks. It will destroy the contributing rural landscape 170 as well as much prime farm real estate. Route F, which uses most of the current US 31, will 171 ironically obliterate the traditional travel corridor and the traces of a farming community that 172 developed along its path.
