JOSEPH COUNTY Signed by: Date: Name and title: John Oxian, President SOUTH BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION Signed by: Date: Attest: Date: sl 9n 0 Since the completion of the Studebaker /Oliver Plow Works Redev- elopment Strategy in 1999 the City of South Bend and the South Bend Redevelopment Commission have taken major steps to implement the Strategy. These activities have in- cluded Phase I and Phase II Environmental Assessments and securing more than $6 million in funding for the project. In March 2002 the South Bend Redevelopment Commission acquired title to the former Oliver property, acquiring it from Allied Products Corporation as part of Allied's bankruptcy re- organization. The Revelopment Commission also acquired Allied's former stamping plant on South Franklin Street as part of the same transaction. These two properties contain more than 2.5 million square feet in approximately 40 buildings, located on more than 75 acres. This acquisition is significantly larger than any project in the community to date. (For example, the Uniroyal project in Mish- awaka only contained 1.7 million square feet on 43 acres.) When added to the demolition of the Avanti, Tmnswestem, Standard Surplus and South Bend Ware- house buildings (a total of 1,247,430 square feet) that took place during the last decade, it will mean that the City of South Bend will have purchased and demolished more than 3.7 million square feet of former Stude -baker and Oliver buildings since 1991. I" The Studebaker /Oliver project is an extreme- ly ambitious one — anticipated to take 10 -15 years to complete. When complete the City will see the benefit of returning more than 120 acres of industrial land to productive use, increasing the tax base and bringing new jobs and private investment into the area. 1940'.

It was at that time that demolition of 36 buildings containing — 1,000,000 square feet of obsolete factory buildings began. On July 11, 2002 Mayor Stephen J. Luecke began demo- lition of the administration building exposing a time capsule that Oliver Corporation had placed in the wall in 1968. With the assistance of Councilman Sean Coleman, the time capsule was opened, revealing various articles that spelled out the company's hope for the future. Sadly, manufacturing on site ceased less than twenty years after that time Capsule was laid. Proje Oliver Plow and South B Stamping acquired for In September 2002 the City held "Oliver. A Day for Memories" in conjunction with the Northern Indiana Center for History, to celebrate workers of the former Oliver and White Farm operations. Over fifty former employees took part in the event that included formal presentations of Oliver's history and the City's plans for the site, presentations of historical materials from the time capsule to the museum and a tour of the old factory grounds. The event gave people who once had close ties with the factory a chance to make one past visit to see the plant. Demolition continued through 2002 and 2003 and is expected to be complete by the end of 2003 with the exception of the former boilerhouse and smokestack and the Forge Shop along Arnold Street. The boilerhouse and smokestack arc to remain as the centerpiece of the new Oliver Industrial Park. It is expected that the Forge Shop will be demolished in 2004 after further discussions with the State Historic Preservation Office. Approximately 85% of the demolition debris (steel, wood, concrete and brick) has been recycled. Earlier this year Rose Fuel & Materials, Inc. submitted a proposal to purchase the boilerhouse, smokestack and five acres of land in the Oliver Industrial Park. In July the Redevelopment Commission and Rose signed a development agreement making Rose the first project to locate in the new industrial park. The plan for the property that was unveiled at a September 9, 2003 ground breaking ceremony in- volves exterior rehabilitation of the building and smokestack by the City, to be followed by interior build out and finishing by Rose. Rose will also construct a new 15,000 square foot warehouse and a four acre storage yard for the firm's masonry inventory. At the ground breaking Mayor Luecke operated an Oliver tractor, dumping a bucket load of freshly broken ground into a 1940's Rose Fuel truck driven by Rose CEO Bob Harwood. to signify the transition from Oliver to City to Rose. Rose Fuel and Materials is a fourth generation South Bend business and their new facility will serve as the cornerstone of the development of the new Oliver Industrial Park. netl to Oliver Phase ll of..

The estimated cost of all project ac- tivities (including acquisition, clearance, environmental reme- diation, site preparation and in- frastructure for Areas A and C) ranges from $13,000,000 to $33,000,000. Funding • Between 1990 and 1999 the City of South Bend invested more than $6,000,000 to rede- velop the Studebaker Corridor • Between 2000 and 2002 the City has identified $7,648,815 for the next phase of the project Employment The area that formerly was home to Studebaker and Oliver Plow has suffered from long term economic decline and loss of jobs: YEAR JOBS 1950 21,525 1960 8,350 1970 2,038 1989 1,681 2001 79 2002 fewer than 75 11 Building Vacancy More than 70% of the buildings in the area are vacant. • Area A 2,845,716 Square Feet 2,388,903 Vacant • Area B 804,408 Square Feet 160,000 Vacant • Oliver Plow 913,794 Square Feet 833,794 Vacant 1910 Studebaker (fop ", 19M Oliver Plow (WP rlghfJ, Studebaker Bldg 85 (far left); Studebaker Bldg 78 (above); Oliver Bldg 43 (ieff) Buildings Obsolete for Manufacturing • Multi—story buildings not in demand • Low ceiling heights • Mismatched floor levels • Limited loading docks • Small bay sizes • Structural columns limit use • Limited parking • Buildings are too large for today's demand eed for Additional Federal and State 1 • The magnitude of the problem is a huge chal- lenge to the local com- munity. • No single source of financing will be able to address the problem.

The earliest construction took place around 1847. It is possibly the third oldest house in the county. As the family needed more space, additions were built with the same materials and fine craftsmanship. In 1836, John Texas Metzger's maternal grandfather purchased 80 acres of land upon which this house now stands. His grandparents emigrated from Germany and were early settlers of Harris Township. John, his sister, his mother and his aunt were all raised on this farm. In 1912, John T. Metzger married Kathryn Cooney of Indianapolis. After their marriage, they settled permanently on John T's grandfather's farm. It is unknown when John died. Kathryn passed away in 1959. The farm transferred to her sister, Mary Frances Cooney, who sold it to Theodore and Mary Derksen. The Derksen's owned the property until 1994 when E. Russel purchased the property. Ronald and Diana Snyder are the current owners. In the mid 1800s, the house became a stop on the Old Chicago Trail stagecoach line, a bustling transportation route for settlers heading west and goods heading east and west. It was also a center of Catholic faith and spirituality. Holy Cross priests regularly held Mass here for the local Catholic community before they built a chapel at the St. Joseph farm. This residence is an outstanding example of a two -story Greek revival farmhouse built with local yellow brick. The gable of the main section of the house faces Adams Road. It has a wide continuous cornice and elaborate moldings that form the pediment. The 6 over 6 double hung windows with stone sills are not quite evenly spaced across the fagade. A front stoop with a hipped roof, two posts and matching pilasters is a later addition built to protect the paneled door and sidelights. Two additions with gabled roofs and gable returns and 6 over 6 divided light double hung windows were built perpendicularly to each other and the main portion of the house. The front portico has a shed roof and four elaborated square posts. The four fluted Doric columns were removed before the house was designated a Local Landmark. The site also has a row of mature trees to the east of the house. APPLICATION ITEMS: 1.) Remove non - contributing attached garage and addition, 2.) Build enclosed porch/conservancy, garage, and covered walkway, 3.) Install new drive (shown on architectural drawings) RECOMMENDATION The Snyder's propose to construct a new garage with living space above. To comply with the covenants of the Knollwood development, which absorbed the farmhouse, the garage must connect to the home in some manner. The Snyder's propose to connect the garage to the home with a covered walkway or breezeway. (See proposed plans) They would also like to construct an enclosed porch or conservancy. k.) The two -stall garage and enclosed entryway addition occurred sometime between 1978, the year of the first survey of the property, and 2000, the landmark designation year of the residence. Because the garage is less than fifty years old and was built in an inappropriate manner and with inappropriate materials, it is considered non- contributing and inappropriate to the historically significant portion of the structure. Staff recommends approval of the removal of the two -stall garage and enclosed entryway addition. 3.) In place of the non - contributing garage, the Snyder's propose to build an enclosed porch or conservancy. This addition would attach to the north elevation of the smaller of the two brick ells. The pitch of the gable roof would match the pitch of the existing roof. The new conservancy would employ architectural details from the historically significant portion of the residence including the gable returns, pilasters, and oval fanlight, but the new construction would be distinguishable from the construction of the historically contributing portion of the home. The porch addition would not cover singular architectural features, would not detract from the form of the landmark. The porch would be more appropriate than the existing addition. Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plans for the porch addition. Windows and doors proportional with and similar in style and materials to the existing windows and doors would be appropriate. Siding materials, specific windows and doors, could be reviewed by the Commission's architect when the information becomes available. �.) The construction of a new three -stall garage is also part of the application. The proposed site location is to the east of the new porch, the existing driveway, and the row of five mature trees. The proposed garage has a barn- like quality as it would be two - stories tall, have a cross gabled cupola, a cross gabled roof, and doors that evoke historic barn doors. Unfortunately, staff does not have any photographs of or knowledge about the barns and outbuildings that may have stood near the residence. The garage design also draws from the design of the residence with the gable returns, 6 over 6 double hung windows. The two windows on the north fagade break what could have been a very long blank wall. The garage would be frame construction with a brick veneer over the concrete footing and block foundation. Bricks of a similar dimension and texture would be appropriate. Concerning the location of the new garage in relation to the house, staff finds the garage would be far enough away from the house to not impinge greatly upon its formal qualities (see site plan). The garage and walkway additions themselves follow a pattern by which the additions were constructed, each gable turned perpendicularly from the previous portion of the structure with a chimney peaking above the gable (or the cupola in the case of the proposed garage). The proposed construction would not remove any of the mature trees from the tree row. Staff recommends approval of the proposed preliminary plans for the garage. Specific siding materials, windows, doors, etc. could be reviewed by the Commission's architect when that information becomes available. �.) To connect the garage to the new enclosed porch, the Snyder's propose to construct a covered walkway. The walkway will have a gable roof, four square piers that match the existing piers on the south portico, and four matching pilasters. This open but covered walkway would be an appropriate addition while creating the least amount visual disruption to the tree row. Staff recommends approval of the plans for the covered walkway. ?.) The site plan shows the proposed location of a new driveway and parking pad. Because the garage would be moved to the east of the house, the existing drive could not be entirely utilized. The new drive and parking pad will not remove or harm the existing trees. According to the site plan, the new pad will not extend beyond the front setback of the farmhouse. Though the new pad will cover a large amount of grass, staff recommends approval of the proposed driveway and parking pad. 2 r r Application - for - Certi Kate of Appropriateness Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend & St. Joseph County 125 South Lafayette Boulevard Mailing address: 227 West Jefferson Blvd - South Bend IN 46601 -1830 Phone: 219 - 235 -9798 Fax: 219- 235 -9578 e-mail: Wstoric@niicWarLa.org A Certified Local Government OFFICE USE ONLY»» 130 NOT COMPLETE ANY ENTRIES CONTAINED IN T1llS « « «OFFICEUSEONLY Date Received "o, 15 200 Application Number. 2001V 03'l5• Past Reviews: ❑ YES (oArEoFtAsrRs;7_ -; 1 ❑ NO Staff Approval authorized by: Title: Historic Commission Review Date: 11 Local Landmark ❑ National Landmark ff National Register District pv): ❑ Local Historic District ov— ): Certificate of Appropriateness: ❑ Denled ❑ Tabled ❑ Sent To Committee ❑ Approved and issued 2002 J Address of Property for proposed work: 1 Y 3 0 `� ��� � 1)� l4 � It lti 61f _A p _ ` / 5— ) bd —dS-dN City: � F /T* 0J (!;,- (3 Owner's Phone No: �; 7 V 2 7 7 f 0 Name of Property Owner(s):mRlxn Address of Property Owner : ) L) 0 c� Contractor(s) Name: Contract Company Name: Contractor Address: City: Contractor's Phone No: Current Use of Building: (SinQ/e Fmnily- SfuiC- Familr•Conunoaa! •Indumia!- Vacant -ut Type of Building Construction: bo Q F,`� / - 1 1—: (Wood Frmne -Un * - Scone- Sted- Conoen -Orha) Proposed Work: ❑ Inkind ❑ Landscape PkNew ❑ Replacement(na1in - kid) (coon Nan one bo1: may be checked) ❑ Demolition n Description of Proposed Work: /0 f= W G / 't (6 0 e 1' r,(1,4 Ll/ 1 f ) A• Owner! ntractor: Fax: �- 3 �y' U g e -mail: S N J ��► "' ® _ 10 n cm'vpond mth only ne den S—) Signature of Owner ( Signature of Contractor APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS ARE LISTED ON REVERSE SIDE. r� � 1I w )u ^s s.,. i . `.j H»++ r.•r ir�, ��.Y` * '�'`oY1�.�`.�� v y ��,t �.! .: ?yta d�+ ..+`.' y �?.'q+.� .

Because Jacob Freyermuth moved this house to its current location in 1889, its original owner and location are not known. Freyermuth emigrated from Alsace, Germany and first settled in Pennsylvania, as did his wife, Barbara. He moved to South Bend briefly in 1952 before returning to Pennsylvania. He moved back to South Bend in 1872 when he purchased this property. Freyermuth was also a builder and contractor. He lived in this house for nearly two years and then moved to California in 1890. After Freyermuth sold the property, it was rented and owned as a single - family dwelling until 1935. In 1935, it contained several living units. Cecil Clarkson, a postal employee purchased the property in 1941. He owned the house until 1972 when James Russow purchased the property. David Gibney purchased the residence in 1979. It is now owned by South Bend Heritage, Inc. This house exemplifies a mix of historic architectural styles. It is mainly an Italianate with a hint of subdued Classicism. The square plan of the house, its wrap- around front porch, hipped roof, and decorative brackets align it with the Italianate style. At a later date, perhaps after Freyermuth moved the house and after Chicago's Columbian Exposition, Tuscan porch columns were added. Even though the columns are most likely not original, they contribute to the house. The mix of Italianate and Tuscan classical elements reflects an owner's desire to keep up with the latest styles and trends. The home has many original or contributing features not mentioned such as the 6" wood clapboards, the wood windows and wood storms, and many fine trim and porch details. The original gutter system (boxed -in) was removed and covered with an extension of the hipped roof some years ago. d APPLICATION ITEMS: A.) Remove chimney cap and bricks to 18" above attic floor. B.) i. Remove 6 wood Tuscan porch columns, caps, and bases, and ii. Replace with 8' by 8" diameter composite columns with Tuscan cap and base, salvage and repair shafts, caps, and bases where possible. C.) Rebuild 6 porch piers with new concrete footing, 8" CMU units from footing to grade, salvage brick and use new where needed to rebuild piers. D.) Replace 5/4 PT porch decking with 514 tongue and groove decking. E.) Repair curved porch trim, replace with U1traFlex bedmolding, new porch band board. F.) i. Remove non - contributing second level deck, balustrade, and posts from south elevation and ii. Replace with new shed roof, 30 -year shingle roofing, two new Tuscan composite columns to match front porch, and 5" K -style aluminum gutters and aluminum downspouts. G.) Remove second level door on south elevation and replace with new double hung wood window sized for egress, in proportion to other windows. H.) i. Replace existing, non - contributing rear door (south elevation) with wood door, one light, tempered glass and ii. Install new wood storm door with a possible replacement panel for a screen. I.) Install wood storm door to second floor porch door on east elevation. J.) Install 6" '/z round galvanized gutters to main roof (not porch roof) and three fluted downspouts. K.) Fill and re -grade landscape at South East corner to slope away from structure. RECOMMENDATION A.) The chimney may not be the most distinctive architectural feature of this house, but it is a singular, contributing feature. It should be retained in good repair. Staff understands South Bend Heritage could amend the application to retain the chimney; this would be staffs recommendation. B.) Though probably not original to the residence, the Tuscan wood porch columns are highly visible architectural features from both LaSalle Avenue and Scott Street. Some of the wood staves are coming unglued. There are signs of rot on the column bases, which could be repaired with Abatron wood epoxy or replaced with new wood 2 by 12s. SBHF may be able to salvage most, if not all, of the column shafts. Staff recommends repair of the columns where possible rather than replacement with composite columns (Repair would include re- glueing the wood staves of the shaft, repairing rot damage and filling holes with Abatron wood epoxy and filler, crafting like bases with new wood boards where needed) Examples of column repair completed with Abatron: 101 S Taylor and 127 S Franklin. C.) The brick "piers" supporting the porch are not held together with mortar and do not have a foundation. The new 16" by 16" by 6" concrete footing starting 36" below grade with 8" CMU blocks from the footing to grade, and brick piers from grade to the porch bearing point will provide a much more stable structure to support the porch. Brick will be salvaged for the piers and like brick will be used where needed. Only brick will be seen above grade. Staff recommends approval. D.) The tongue and groove (T & G) porch decking will replace non - contributing, mismatching, and deteriorating porch decking. Most of the porch decking is T & G. Staff recommends approval. E.) The repair of the porch trim, the new porch band board, and the recreation of the bedmolding with U1traFlex on the east bay window will retain and restore contributing architectural features. Staff recommends approval. F.) i. The smaller balcony on the south elevation was clearly added at a later date without the fine craftsmanship of the wrap- around porch. It is not a contributing feature; it is not appropriate to the styles of the house. Staff recommends approval of the demolition of the balcony, balustrade, and porch posts. ii. SBH will replace this non - contributing balcony with a shed porch roof, wood architrave, Tuscan columns that are similar to the existing columns, and 5" K style gutters. The new porch will resemble the existing porch and is an appropriate addition. Staff recommends approval. G.) The second story solid paneled door on the south elevation is not original to the house; it is not an appropriate door. SBH proposes to replace it with a wood double hung window sized for egress. It will fit under the header and will be proportional to the other window opening. This replacement window is appropriate and would be a vast improvement for the house. Staff recommends approval. H.) i. The door on the first story of the south elevation is a non - contributing solid paneled door. SBH proposes to replace it with a wood door with a single light, tempered glass, and 2 panel below. The new door will resemble the contributing existing doors located on the east and north elevations. It is far more appropriate than the solid 6 panel door. Staff recommends approval. ii. SBH also proposes to install a wood storm door, but have not chosen a specific door. Staff recommends approval of a wood storm door similar to the existing storm doors located on the first story of the north and east elevations. A door with a storm /screen option would be nice, but not entirely necessary. Pj I.) Staff recommends approval of the same wood storm door as explained in recommendation J.) The original box -in gutter system was covered by a modification to the roof. The lack of gutters and downspouts has most likely caused water damage to the "soft" foundation and basement of this house. SBH proposes to install 6" half round galvanized gutters to the main roof only to solve the moisture and drainage problem. Downspouts will be located on the northwest, southwest, and southeast corners of the house. Though not appropriate to the Italianate style of the house, the half round gutters will decrease moisture damage to the residence's structural system. Staff recommends approval of the installation of 6" half round gutters as described in the specifications. K.) The re -grade and addition of fill will not remove any historically significant landscape feature. It will aid the drainage of water away from the house and its foundations. Staff recommends approval of the addition of fill to and the re -grade of the property. 3 002 Application -FOR - Certificate of Appropriateness Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend & St. Joseph County 125 S.

Arthur Williamson and his wife Stella bought the property in 1923: In the early 1920s, Williamson taught at River Park School, but by 1926 he became a school administrator as the principal of Nuner School. Stella Williamson may have owned or at least lived at this address until 1966. Doug Turnock is the current owner. This brick veneer residence has a hip roof, a large enclosed front porch, broad eaves, and divided light wood windows under the aluminum storms. The house may have had a stucco exterior before a remodeling project in the 1930s added the brick veneer. A one stall, wood clapboard garage stands behind the house. This garage also has a hipped roof and a wood panel garage door with six fixed lights. The garage APPLICATION ITEMS: Removal of two trees near garage (Chinese Elm and Mulberry) RECOMMENDATION Mr. Turnock has applied to remove two trees located near his garage. One tree may be a Chinese Elm and the other is a Mulberry. The trees have disturbed the foundation and the roof of this building and perhaps that of his neighbors' garages. One tree has actually grown around the roof eaves. (See Photos 3 and 4) This tree places pressure upon the soffit boards and the internal structure of the garage. Without removal, further damage could occur. The trees are also entangled among the homes's power lines. The Edgewater Place Local Historic District guidelines state: "Plant materials and trees in close proximity to buildings, sidewalks, or streets that are causing deterioration to those elements should be removed" (28). The guidelines on page 29 contained similar wording. Staff recommends approval of application 2004 -0408: the removal of two trees identified in the attached photographs.

CALL TO ORDER JOHN OXIAN: Calls the meeting to order at 7:36. II. PUBLIC HEARING A. CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS 1. 2004 - 0102 -3; 150 -1 East Wayne Street; replace Pennsylvania slate roof with high profile asphalt slate & copper. VIRGINIA O'HAIR: Makes a motion to move C of A 2004 -0102 under Old Business because the owner had not yet arrived. CATHERINE HOSTETLER: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. 2. 2004 -0123; 611 Edgewater Drive; replace gutters, install new aluminum fence in back yard, install new storm door. KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: (See staff report attached to C of A). Laura Mallozi, the homeowner, is present. JOHN OXIAN: Which type of door will you purchase? Are you planning on putting up a chain link fence? t, LAURA MALLOZZI: I haven't decided yet. I spoke with Karen earlier today and she gave me some good ideas. I think I am going to try and find a storm door that matches or is similar to the front door I have now. I picked a chain link fence because we have a large black Labrador dog, and I think that a chain link fence would provide the best enclosure for him in the backyard. JOHN OXIAN: I know this isn't on the agenda, but are you going repair your garage? LAURA MALLOZZI: I am not sure what to do with my garage yet. I had someone come out to repair the garage door, and they did, and it worked for a short while, and then it stopped working again. I would actually like to tear the garage down and rebuild new. The cement slab floor inside the garage is cracked and is falling apart. I'm not sure if the garage floor could be repaired if the garage structure was still intact. JOHN OXIAN: Wayne, as an inspector, why don't you go out and look at the garage and give her an opinion? I wouldn't recommend tearing it down because it is original. CATHERINE HOSTETLER: I move that we accept application 2004 -0123 as recommended by staff; with the exception that the back yard fence be a galvanized steel chain link fence with steel posts. The storm door will be an open storm door as described by Ms. Mallozzi. GERALD UJDAK: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. 3. 2004 -0131; 1322 East Wayne Street North; remove aluminum storm windows and original wood windows, replace with Pella windows. KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: (See staff report attached to C of A). The homeowner, Robert Wolosin, and his contractor, Gary Derbin, from Derbin Riverside Construction Company, are present. ROBERT WOLOSIN: We have asked Mr. Derbin to replace our downstairs double - hung windows with new Pella windows. We did the same thing upstairs in our bedroom last August. We received approval to replace the windows, and now we would like approval to replace these windows as well. JOHN OXIAN: How many of the original windows besides the bay will remain? ROBERT WOLOSIN: None, we want to replace all of them. LYNN PATRICK: Have you tried to repair any of the original windows? GARY DERBIN: I did not repair the original windows. I threw them away when we replaced them with Pella's. The new windows that we plan to install will closely resemble the original windows and we will remove the aluminum storm windows. JOHN OXIAN: Is there trim around the windows? 2 GARY DERBIN: We plan to use the wood trim that is there now; because, I am having them custom built to be exactly the same size as the original windows. JOHN OXIAN: My recommendation is that you wrap and store at least one of the original windows in the garage, so that the owners will have an example of what the original windows looked like CATHERINE HOSTETLER: I move we accept application 2004 -0131 as recommended by staff, and ask that at least one original window be labeled, packaged and stored. DIANE WROBEL- ILLES: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. The commission decided by consensus to hear C of A 2004 - 0102 -3; 1501 East Wayne Street as Mr. John Axelberg arrived. He brought a sample of Ecostar faux - slate. JOHN AXELBERG: We received several quotes for slate shingles ranging from $80,000.00 down to about $45,000.00. We found a shingle that is made out of recycled rubber, called Ecostar. The ten inch version of this, (refer to sample brought in by owner), was only about $3500.00 more than the Grand Manor asphalt shingles, which was in our initial application. This weekend we went out and looked at the South Bend Country Club. They used this type of shingle when they remodeled their clubhouse. We also went and looked at a house that was off Greenleaf in Elkhart. They used this type of shingle on their roof. I was very disappointed with the way the shingles looked. The shingles looked less like slate than a lot of asphalt shingles do. Both of these roofs had single- colored facsimile slate installations. The shingles were shiny and had no dimension to them. This type of shingle is also used on all of the new local Teachers Credit Union branches. They used a very dramatic mix of colors for their roof. One of the colors looks white. The roof looks like Indian corn to me. GERALD UJDAK: Have you found some local contractors that will do the work? JOHN AXELBERG: Yes, we found Vintage Roofing. JOHN OXIAN: How do some of the other slate replacements in East Wayne Street look? KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: They were able to salvage eighty percent of the existing slate and only needed to install twenty percent. Therefore, they decided to use natural slate. JOHN OXIAN: I thought other individuals that had replaced their entire slate roofs? KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: They also used Ecostar. One used Midland Engineering and the other one used Slatile. John Axelberg then asked Karen if she could supply him with a list of some other places that he'could go and look at. Karen stated that she would supply him with a list of places. John Oxian. The commission members unanimously agreed to have this matter put into the Executive Committee. John Oxian then told Mr. Axelberg that once he decides what he is going to do he should let Karen know and she will set up an executive committee meeting to make a decision on this matter. III. HISTORIC SURVEY UPDATE & CORRECTION Re -rate Marquette School, now yclept Marquette Primary Center (Now rated C- 10; proposed rating Significant/Notable- 11/12). JOHN OXIAN: This rating was a mistake made in the first survey. The mistake continued in the second survey and should be corrected. The rating should be raised to an eleven. CATHERINE HOSTETLER: I so move_ GERALD UJDAK: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. IV. REGULAR BUSINESS A. APPROVAL OF MINUTES LYNN PATRICK: I move that we accept the minutes for November 17` and January 26` as submitted. The minutes from September 26, 2003 remain tabled. GERALD UJDAK: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. B. TREASURER'S REPORT Catherine Hostetler stated that she met with staff. Everything was current and up -to -date. C. HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMITTEE CHAIRPERSON REPORT 1. Chapin Park proposed local district 2. German Township 3. St. Casimer District Project 4. Portage Avenue Multi Resources /Queen Anne District 5. National Register Shaefer/Miami Trail CATHERINE HOSTETLER: Mr. Livingston has completed the ordinance and the legal description of the Chapin Street District. I would like to move that the agenda be amended to allow Mr. Livingston to address this at this point during the meeting. JOHN LIVINGSTON: The ordinance itself is a couple of paragraphs with four pages of legal description. In order to move the district forward, the Commission should form a recommendation regarding the establishment of the Chapin Park Local Historic District. A member of the Common Council can then introduce the ordinance for first reading. VIRGINIA O'HAIR: I move that the Commission favorably recommend the establishment of the Chapin Park Local Historic District. LYNN PATRICK: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. 2 CATHERINE HOSTETLER: A PhD candidate from Notre Dame will be searching the German Township area for sites connected to Native American heritage. This may support designation of a district. With all of the work that needs to be done, we would strongly recommend that Bronson/Sunnymede— especially in its expanded form -be put off until next year. The staff has enough to do; and even if we added staff; the neighborhood needs to be studied more thoroughly. The Districts Committee Chair would like to respectfully remind the commission that the many local historic districts and the numerous landmarks must be administered by the Commission with a staff composed of only two full -time and one part-time positions. They are also responsible for educating the residents of these districts and monitoring their progress. D. STAFF REPORTS 1. 531 S. St. Joseph Street, Taylor's Field Local Historic District: Code Enforcement possible request for demolition pending. KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: The commission will recall this was a matter brought to the commission's attention at the time of the Southhold Awards Ceremony when the liaisons from the Taylor's Field Local Historic District raised this house as a matter of concern and asked the commission to petition Code Enforcement to take action. We did do that and we attended a code enforcement hearing last summer. Code Enforcement has been actually fairly aggressive in trying to clean up this property since at least the year 2000 and possibly before that. This summer a thousand dollar fine was imposed against Providence Bank for their improvident treatment of this house. Code Enforcement has not seen any improvement regarding this situation. Over the last several years there has been an accelerated problem with homeless persons, drug users, and possibly petty thieves getting in and out of the building and using it for improper purposes. We received information from the inspector, and they see no alternative at this point; but to seek demolition. I discussed the matter with John Oxian, and he asked me to talk with Kil Architecture about the possibility of them taking the property as a receivership. Kil Architecture was not interested in that option. JOHN OXIAN: Several years ago I tried to get this house put on the receivership program. We had meetings with Code Enforcement regarding this. Every time Code Eenforcement heard back from the bank they gave another excuse and would not place the house in receivership. That is why the house is in the condition that it is in today. This is inexcusable, and I can't go along with demolition. I still say that we should try for at least one more month to see if we can find a receiver; before, I would even think about allowing demolition. Is Code Enforcement willing to go along with the receivership program? Karen stated that Code Enforcement was not willing to talk to them about any possible proposal. John then said he would make some phone calls and if he was not able to find out anything then Code Enforcement would have to come in with a C of A. 2. 1158 Lincolnway East, local district, partial loss of contributing structure; also 1402 -1404 Lincolnway East, Code Enforcement Issue, 2002 C of A. 5 7, KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: This is a lovely Arts and Crafts bungalow. It has two attached contributing structures. One of them is a carriage house and the other one is a garage. Somebody drove into the back corner of the one car garage apparently with a truck. There is a hole in the garage. A corner of it has been taken out at least five feet tall by five feet on one wall and five feet on the other wall. Code Enforcement did bring us some pictures. KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: The question from Code Enforcement was whether we would consent to the demolition of the structure since a corner of it has already been demolished. I said no and stated that we would require the owner to repair the garage. GERALD UDJAK: Is the owner capable of fixing the garage. KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: Code Enforcement seemed to think so too. They also wanted to alert us to the fact that the property was vacant. The commission will probably remembering issuing a C of A in June, and then partly tabled, and issued in July of 2002 for the Schafer home, located at 1402, 1404, and 1406 Lincolnway East. It is a big grey Queen Anne house with four different kinds of artificial siding, and six different kinds of windows. The commission for the first time authorized the replacement of all of the windows with vinyl windows and the residing of the house. A week after we approved that C of A, the present holder of the property was sued by one of his nephews. This made him so angry that he decided not to do any repairs on the property. He has not done any of the things he received permission for in the past, and he has not renewed his application. One of the things that make this particular property historic is that a hundred years ago it was part of the longest running probate court case for a contested will in Indiana. GERALD UJDAK: Does anyone live there? KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: Yes, The house is divided into five or six apartments, and most of them or all of them are rented out. The estate executor also lives in one of the apartments. Code Enforcement has scheduled a hearing for March 11` 2004 on the 15` floor of the County -City Building. They are seeking a significant amount of interior repairs and also a certain amount of exterior repairs. They want us to be aware of what sort of exterior repairs might be ordered by the hearing officer so that we can, if necessary, issue a C of A to the city of South Bend to ensure that these repairs are done according to district standards. 3. Correspondence: LaSalle Bridge proposed lights; I &M Electric Company Garage. KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: DLZ, the City, and the County are only looking at one proposed light, a Lumec fluted pole with a Holophan acorn lantern. The same poles and lanterns are installed on the Jefferson Street Bridge. n JOHN OXIAN: The committee agreed with the choice of this lamp style, more or less. DLZ has also researched and recommended a gas induction bulb for proposed light fixture. KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: Governor Kernan forwarded our letter regarding US31 to the MOT commissioners with a request that they include HPC comments in their environmental impact statement. Other written correspondence is from the Wythougan Valley Historic Preservation Committee. (See copy of letter) Regarding the I &M garage on La Salle, we received communication from the tenant that they are only using about a third of the parking available. Lack of maintenance has caused some concrete deterioration. They owners and the tenants may not want to maintain. JOHN OXIAN: Several years ago we wrote them a letter opposing what they did to this building. They created the situation when they took the windows and the doors out of that building and allowed the inside of the building to be exposed to the outside weather. Commission members had a brief discussion regarding the condition of the building. John Oxian asked Karen to send a letter to the owner about the condition of the building. The commission also agreed to support any grant applications that can be obtained to help repair the building. 4. Downtown South Bend Neighborhood Relations Committee. Lynn Patrick and Julie Schutte briefly informed commission members about the recent City Plan meetings and the South Bend Neighborhood Relations Committee. 5. Legal Report: Chapin Park proposed Local Historic District (Combined with item number one, Chapin Park proposed local district) IV. OLD BUSINESS A. Eddy Street road widening; affect on East Washington National Register Historic District; request opinion. The commission members and Christopher Waidner discussed the impact the widening of Eddy Street would have upon the East Washington National Register District, specifically on 1028 East Colfax, 125 Eddy and 107 Eddy. The Commission asked if the widening of Eddy Street could be reduced to lessen the impact on these structures. Mr. Waidner stated that federal standards applied to this project and to the design of the travel and turn lanes. Mr. Waidner asked if Commission members recalled if Eddy Street been paved with brick. The Commission recalled that Eddy Street had been brick and mentioned the bricks could be salvaged for the repair of other brick streets. Commission members felt traffic safety should be addressed at these intersections but at what price to the properties located in the project area. B. Committee Appointments (See enclosed copy of Committee Appointments in meeting packet) V. NEW BUSINESS 7 I, . . f. VI. HEARING OF VISITORS 1. Christopher Waidner, representing The Troyer Group, regarding Eddy Street Intersection Improvement project. (Combined with item A of Old Business) VII.

McCune 2254 -04 Location: 416 W. LaSalle Street City of South Bend REQUESTED ACTION: The petitioner is requesting a zone change from "A -3" Mixed Use, "E" Height and Area to "D" Light Industrial, "E" Height and Area to allow an office and storage of boat, auto, and light/heavy equipment. EXISTING LAND USE: The property contains a vacant building. SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: Located to the north is a duplex, single- family homes, multi - family homes, and a church zoned "A -1" Residential, "B" Height and Area, and a commercial use and multi - family dwelling zoned "A -3" Mixed Use, "F" Height and Area. To the south are offices, mixed use buildings, a commercial use and single- family homes zoned "A -3" Mixed Use, "E" Height and Area. To the east is a parking lot zoned "D" Light Industrial, "F" Height and Area and a church zoned "D" Light Industrial, "G" Height and Area. To the west is a church, single- family home, a duplex and a multi - family use zoned "A -I" Residential, "B" Height and Area. ACCESS: Access to the site is from LaSalle Avenue and William Street. WATER SOURCE/ SEWAGE DISPOSAL: Water and sewer are available to the site. DRAINAGE: The drainage has been addressed by the petitioner. SITE DATA: The total site to be rezoned is 29,498 square feet. Of that, the buildings will occupy 13,575 square feet, or 46 percent of the site. Parking and drives will occupy 9,090 square feet, or 31 percent of the site. Open space will occupy 6,833 square feet, or 23 percent of the site. ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: A check of the Agency's maps indicates that no public wells, wetlands, flood or environmental hazard areas are present. SITE PLAN: The site plan is preliminary. AGENCY COMMENTS: The City Engineer made the following comments: rezonings require upgrade to new drainage standards. They are concerned with the manuverability off of the public alley on the south side of the site. Alley improvements are required. Repair or replace the curb an d sidewalk. 'his property was down -zoned in 1991 from "D" Light Industrial to "A -3" Mixed Use as part of the West Washington - Chapin Development Area rezoning. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Based on information available prior to the public hearing, the staff recommends that this petition be sent to the Common Council with an unfavorable recommendation. The entire West Washington-Chapin Neighborhood was rezoned in 1991. As a result of that public process, this property was down -zoned to encourage less intense zoning and uses within the neighborhood. In the staffs opinion, due to this property's location near downtown and on the fringe of the neighborhood, mixed use is a more appropriate zoning of this site. Based on the previous neighborhood rezoning and what this property will be zoned in the new ordinance (MU Mixed Use), rezoning this property is not in line with the vision set by the residents of the neighborhood, the Area Plan Commission, and the City. / a /A3 g-- - 3f T" Cy- — ,p Q X41 -f B -b r J WIMNLT LA SALLE - TYII a `— " oac O :HURCH COLFAX L PET ION gE4 Two INC I OT Pr KIN LOT �A .6 W ❑ 10 NMI u ® E d o - I k D-9 CHURCH C.

I volunteered to obtain the relevant information regarding the efforts made over the past two years by the City to feasibly reuse the structure. The City conducted a public meeting in October, 2000 at St. Casimir Catholic Church to address concerns that had been expressed to the Mayor's Office regarding the recently announced t Studebaker /Oliver Plow Works Redevelopment Strategy. Mayor Stephen Luecke, Councilman Andy Ujdack, Urban Enterprise Association Coordinator Jeanine Muir, and Economic Development Specialist Andy Laurent made presentations at the meeting. During the question and answer portion of the meeting, the residents in attendance expressed support for the City's plan to demolish the abandoned Oliver buildings adjacent to their residential properties. The primary concern voiced by those residents (most of whom resided near the corner of Arnold and Grace Streets) was over possible residential property acquisition by the City. Andy Laurent expressed the City's plan not to acquire residential property in the St. Casimir Neighborhood. The Redevelopment Commission purchased the former Oliver Plow Works property in March, 2002 from the bankruptcy of Allied Products Corporation. At that time, the City conducted a HUD Section 106 Environmental Review of the proposed demolition of the 39 factory buildings and determined that the #2 Forge Shop (Buildings 46 and 47) could not be demolished due to their inclusion in the St. Casimir Parish Historic District. The City agreed not to demolish the structures as part of the 106 review process and the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) then agreed to approve the remainder of the demolition. The City has conducted environmental assessment activities in and around the Oliver site, and have determined that a source area of perchloroethylene (PCE) is located in the direct vicinity of the #2 Forge Shop and is impacting ground water. The City is continuing to conduct investigation of this environmental condition and has submitted a grant application to the United States Environmental H \Studebaker- pliver\pliver Plow Works\HPC Forge 2 memo_wpd What We Do Today Makes A Difference! Protection Agency to help fund the remediation of the source area, once its nature and extent are determined. The grant application to the EPA was for a Brownfield Cleanup Grant of $200,000 that would partially fund the remediation of the chlorinated solvent source area located in the southwest corner of the Oliver site. The City met with the Oliver Gang, the local chapter of the HPOCA, in late 2001 to discuss the potential for locating an agricultural museum in the #2 Forge Shop. The City was open to the idea of a non - profit reuse of the buildings, despite their desire to relocate a taxable business into the facility. The City decided to work with the HPOCA and its local chapter to determine the feasibility of reusing the #2 Forge Shop as a museum. The City and the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana (HLFI) hired Arsee Engineers, Inc. to conduct a feasibility study of the reuse potential of the #2 Forge Shop in February 2002 for John Oxian, President of the Historic Preservation Commission. The text portion of the study is attached to this memo. The repair estimates range from $1.4 million to $2.2 million to stabilize the structure, up to $6.5 million for total rehabilitation. Upon receipt of the study, the City realized that the buildings reuse potential was minimal. During this time period, in discussions with Historic Preservation Commission President John Oxian, the City stated its intention to preserve the former Oliver boilerhouse and smokestack. The City had originally hoped to preserve the #2 Forge Shop for use as home of a relocated business from the area. When the cost estimates for renovation of that structure were determined, the City looked to the former Oliver boilerhouse and smokestack for preservation and rehabilitation. The City hired Lehman & Lehman, Inc. to prepare conceptual drawings of the boilerhouse as a site for an Oliver museum. However, the HPOCA/Oliver Gang expressed their disinterest in the boilerhouse as a site for their museum. The City then began discussions in early 2003 with Rose Fuel & Materials, Inc. to renovate the boilerhouse and relocate their business to the site. Discussions continued with the HPOCA and Oliver Gang through March, 2003. At a meeting on March 8, 2003 attended by the Museum Committee of the Oliver Gang, Todd Zeiger of HLFI, John Oxian of the HPC, Ron Radecki, and Andy Laurent of the City, the issue of developing a museum at the Oliver Site was discussed in detail. All parties agreed to several conditions proposed by the City based on the time line for redevelopment of the majority of the Oliver site. On April 7, 2003, I sent a letter to Terry Allen, President of the HPOCA (copied to Todd Zeiger and John Oxian) outlining the terms that the group had agreed to at the meeting. That letter is attached to this memo. The group was given until September 2, 2003 to make a development proposal to the Redevelopment Commission. The group was given over a year (until March 31, 2004) to conduct aesthetic renovation and structural stabilization work to the #2 Forge Shop. The City agreed to contribute $150,000 as gap financing for the project, and if no action had been taken by the HPOCA/Oliver Gang by December 1, 2003 the City would move forward to gain SHPO approval to demolish the buildings due to the prohibitive costs associated with renovating the structures. H \Studebaker- Oliver`Oltver Plow \Yorks \HPC Forge 2 memo wpd What We Do Today Makes A Difference! After the March 8, 2003 meeting, the Oliver Gang made a presentation to the HPOCA Board of Directors on March 28, 2003. Following the presentation, the Board voted unanimously not to proceed with a museum at the #2 Forge Shop. The minutes from that meeting and the March 29, 2003 general membership meeting are attached to this memorandum. The Oliver Gang agreed to disband its Museum Committee in favor of a committee being formed by the HPOCA according to Bob Schaeffer of the Oliver Gang. Terry Allen, President of the HPOCA, sent me a letter on April 16, 2003 expressing the intent of the HPOCA Board of Directors not to pursue development of a museum in the old Oliver Chilled Plow have attached a copy of that letter to this memo. Following that correspondence, the City considered the reuse of the #2 Forge Shop unattainable, and began the process described in my letter to Terry Allen of April 7, 2003. On May 5, 2003 the City contacted the SHPO to obtain approval to demolish the #2 Forge Shop. The City and SHPO have agreed on a final Memorandum of Agreement to govern the demolition of the #2 Forge Shop. I have attached a copy of the agreement. The language and terms were dictated by the SHPO, and all parties to the agreement except the Historic Preservation Commission have agreed to sign the document. At a meeting of the Executive Committee on April 12, 2004 the Executive Committee of the HPC requested background information from the City based on their lack of information received during this two -year long effort. It is the City's hope that this memorandum meets the needs of the commissioners regarding background information on this topic. It is also the City's desire to have the HPC agree to the terms of the Memorandum of Agreement as a concurring party. It is my hope that this action can be take at the May 17, 2004 HPC meeting. If you have any questions regarding the information in this memo please contact me at'245 -6112, Terry Allen of the HPOCA at 309 - 343 -4125, Bob Schaeffer of the Oliver Gang at 574 -586 -3795, Todd Zeiger of the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana at 232 -4534, or John Oxian at 234 -7202.

Herget, PE Leland E. Modlin Kenneth L. Pensinger, PE Allen R. Pulley John A. Seest, PE Scott A. Jones, PE Victoria A. Emery, PE We have completed our Preliminary Feasibility Study of the proposed reuse of Buildings 46 and 47 of the Oliver Chilled Plow Works as a museum. Our work has focused on the condition of the roof, facade and structural elements of the two buildings known collectively as Forge Two. The main problem with both buildings is the poor condition of the roof which in turn has allowed extensive water infiltration and results in further deterioration throughout each building. Deterioration has progressed to the extent that portions of both roofs have collapsed. The sawtooth skylights of Building 46 will have to be removed down to the structural steel framework and be reconstructed. Approximately one third of the wood decking of sloped roof of Building 47 will have to be reconstructed. In general, the masonry walls are stable but in need of long neglected maintenance. The steel sash windows Building 46 are in reasonably good condition while replacement appears the most reasonable option for the wood sash windows of Building 47. Budgetary repair estimates have been developed using two different contractors and their subs. Estimates range from $1.4M to $2.2M for stabilization to $4M to $6.5M for a total rehabilitation and construction to create a new museum space. These estimates are based upon a one -day study of the facility and should be considered "ball park" at best. Much more accurate pricing can be developed if a few preliminary drawings and general specifications can be developed to ensure the Contractors better understand the scope of work. Our detailed observations and comments follow. 14500 EAST 136TH STREET • NOBLESVILLE, INDIANA 46060 -9480 - PHONE 317/485 -5152 - FAX 317/485 -5616 • www arsee•engineers.com Mr. John Oxion Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend & St. Joseph County Re: Oliver Chilled Plow Works Buildings 46 and 47 - Forge 2 March 20, 2002 Page 2 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY The Oliver Chilled Plow Works is a collection -of over 25 buildings on a site of approximately 35 acres in the southwest quadrant of South Bend. The majority of the buildings are reported to have been constructed during the period of 1881 to 1912. This study focuses on Buildings 46 and 47 located in the extreme southwest corner of the site, which we understand originally served as Forge 2. Building 47 measures approximately 400 x 84 feet in plan view and was reportedly constructed in 1910. The roof is sloped with a clearstory extending the length of the building. Most of the windows within the clearstory have been removed and the space has been covered with sheets of corrugated fiberglass. The structure of the building is composed of steel, wood and brick masonry. Sloped steel trusses span between the east and west load bearing masonry walls. Wood joists are supported by the trusses and pocket into the masonry walls. The framing for the clearstory is also made of wood. Steel columns in line with the sides of the clearstory support the trusses at approximate 1/3 points. The roof deck is made of 1 -1/2 x 8 inch tongue and groove sheathing which is covered with an asphalt based BUR membrane. A concrete slab on grade extends throughout the building. The exterior walls are monolithic brick masonry ranging from 3 to 4 wythes in thickness. All of the original double and triple sash windows and doors appear to have b6en constructed of wood. Building 46 is also reported to have been constructed in 1910, however, it appears to have been an addition constructed at a later date. It measures 101 x 159 feet in plan view. The sawtooth roof is composed of both cast -in -place concrete and precast concrete channel slabs which are supported by a steel frame and the exterior masonry walls. There is a partial basement in the north end of the building which is reported to measure 67 x 90 feet. We did not verify these measurements. The I" floor structure over the basement is a 2 -way reinforced concrete flat slab spanning between the concrete columns. The south end of the I" floor is a concrete slab on grade. Approximately 1/3 of the. I" floor slab was depressed and was finished with wood blocking. This practice was commonly used in heavy industrial buildings of this vintage to absorb impact loads. Exterior views of Buildings 46 and 47 are shown in Photos 1 and 2 respectively. Plan and elevation drawings of the buildings are shown in Figure 1. Typical views of the exterior masonry and window systems are shown in Photos 3 and 4. RESULTS OF THE STUDY Two later additions to the original Building 46/47 facility are anticipated to be demolished as part of this work. The first are the remains of Building 47A as shown in Photo 5. This area was apparently used for steel storage. We have anticipated the steel structure would be removed as well as the raised portions of the concrete slab in this area. The concrete would be leveled with the remaining slab left in place. Photo 6 shows a second sheet metal clad addition on the south end of Building 47. It covers utility feeds which have been abandoned and should be removed. l i Mr. John Oxion Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend & St. Joseph County Re: Oliver Chilled Plow Works Buildings 46 and 47 - Forge 2 March 20, 2002 Page 3 The ramp structure on the east elevation and surrounding site work have not been included in this study. We understand changes to the grading and other site issues are anticipated to be included within the site work package of the overall facility. Our remaining comments focus on the assessment of the roof, facade and structural elements making up Buildings 46 and 47. Building 46 - Roof and Structural Framing The roof structure of Building 46 has four sawtooth skylights separated by flat areas constructed of reinforced cast in place concrete. Photos 7 and 8 show how the flat sections of the roof were covered with BUR roofing and gravel. These areas do not drain well and tend to hold water /ice as shown in the photos. The sloping roof portion of the skylight was simply a mopped on asphalt/felt paper system. Large portions of this membrane have torn and come loose as shown in the photo. In some areas the top of the slabs have been exposed to the weather. The windows in the skylights have been removed and replaced with what appears to be transite. Transite typically contains levels of asbestos which require that it must be abated. 'In the limited areas where the transite could be examined, it appeared to be intact and not in a friable condition.` This greatly simplifies the abatement and disposal of these panels, which of course, reduces the cost. The sloping portions of the sawtooth skylights were constructed using precast concrete channel slabs as shown in Photos 9 and 10. The channels are laid with the flanges turned down and are in turn supported by the structural steel frame. Snow, ice and water tend to collect at the base of the slope and seep through the roofing membrane. This has in turn caused the steel reinforced channel slabs to deteriorate, sometimes to the point of collapse as shown in Photo 11. Most of the channel slabs have significant deterioration with some of the fallen slabs shown in Photo 12. Water seeping through the roof also tends to collect along the steel roof beams as shown in Photo 13. At first blush, the majority of these beams appear to be in such poor condition that replacement may be necessary. Closer examination reveals that there is still a sound enough steel core left intact that instead repairs can be made. Photo 14 shows the base metal that is left once the outer layer of corrosion has been broken loose. The flanges of this beam were measured to still have approximately 2/3 of their original cross section. Thus, the beams can be cleaned and plated rather than replaced. Problems were also observed at the base of the steel columns where dirt and water could collect trapping moisture against the steel. Photos 15 and 16 show a significant loss of cross section at the base of these columns. Compounding this problem, most of the columns in both Buildings 46 and 47 had been struck on multiple occasions by forklifts or other heavy equipment as shown in Photo 17. This weakens the column with regard to buckling. Damage to one column was apparently severe enough to merit encasement in concrete as shown in Photo 18. Encasing the base of the column like this is an easy and relatively inexpensive method of repair. Mr. John Oxion Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend & St. Joseph County Re: Oliver Chilled Plow Works Buildings 46 and 47 - Forge 2 March 20, 2002 Page 4 The supported portion of the I" floor slab was found to be in good condition structurally. This study has assumed the basement would be used for storage and that a new elevator system will-be installed to access it. The remainder of the basement will essentially have to be gutted back to the concrete structure as shown in Photos 19 and 20. Building 47 - Roof and Structural Framing The eastern half of the roof of Building 47 can be seen in Photo 21. Water sheds from the roof of the clearstory and collects in a depression at the base of the sloped roof behind the masonry parapet. The water was then originally intended to be collected into a series of internal drains spaced along the perimeter of the east and west walls. An overall view inside the building showing the roof structure is shown in Photo 22. Drains located along the perimeter walls tended to clog and freeze. The drainage system has failed and allowed water, snow and ice to lay in the low points of the roof. Over time not only the roof membrane, but also the wood decking and roof joists have severely deteriorated as shown in Photos 23 through 26. Gaping holes are visible in several areas. To estimate repair costs, we have assumed approximately 1/3 of the sloped roof decking and 1/4 of the 3 x 12 wood joists will have to be replaced. This study assumes new rigid insulation and a fully adhered EPDM roof membrane will then be installed throughout the entire roof including the clearstory. The remainder of the steel and wood structural framing is in reasonably good condition and only spot repairs will be necessary. We understand there is some concern over whether the concrete slab on grade can support some of the equipment that would be displayed in this building. Without knowing the weight of the equipment, we cannot accurately determine whether the existing slab will be sufficient to carry the load. Thickening the slab to form a pedestal for the heaviest equipment may be an economical solution if in fact this does become a problem. Building 46 and 47 - Exterior Masonry and Windows/Doors Most of the monolithic brick masonry walls making up the exterior of the two buildings are well worn but stable. There are only two isolated areas where masonry appears to be bulging outward and potentially be in danger of falling. These areas can easily be removed, the brick salvaged and cleaned, and the masonry walls reconstructed. The remaining deterioration is typical of masonry of this age in an industrial environment. The condition of the mortar joints varies, typically with the amount of water which is available to saturate it. Photo 27 shows a comparison of one location where the mortar is in reasonably good condition to another where it has eroded away to a sand -like consistency within a few feet of each other. The heaviest erosion occurs beneath leaks in the roof /gutter system. In general, the west elevation which receives the brunt of wind driven rain appears to have deteriorated the most severely as shown in Photo 28. Areas like that shown in Photo 29 occur throughout both buildings. In these areas both the brick and mortar appear to have eroded. Previous repairs /maintenance to the. masonry have been limited. Spot tuckpointing and brick replacement were observed in a few locations. Photo 30 shows such repairs were typically sloppy and mortar was simply used to butter eroded joints while soft, punky mortar was Mr. John Oxion Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend & St. Joseph County Re: Oliver Chilled Plow Works Buildings 46 and 47 - Forge 2 March 20, 2002 Page 5 left in the remainder of the joint. Identifying precise locations where the mortar is still sound enough to not require tuckpointing is beyond the scope of this one -day study. Thus, for-the purpose of developing a repair estimate suitable for getting the walls in shape for the building to function as a museum, we have assumed 100% of the exterior masonry will require tuckpointing. If instead, the building is to simply be stabilized and aesthetics are less relevant, we anticipate approximately 1/2 to 2/3 of the two buildings will require tuckpointing. Spalled brick were observed in isolated locations on both buildings. One of the most severe conditions is shown in Photo 31, taken of the parapet in the south elevation of Building 46. A close -up of brick spalling is shown in Photo 32, taken on the south wall of Building 47. Some of the spalled brick do not appear to be original and may be indicative of long term problems. Spalled brick allow water to infiltrate the wall and cause additional deterioration. Severely spalled brick should be cut out and replaced. One source of replacement brick to match the brick on Building 47 is the interior wall shared by the two buildings. The windows in Building 46 are typically operable steel sash as shown in Photo 33. The sash typically appears to be in reasonably .good condition with much of the paint still present as shown in Photo 34. This study assumes all of the steel sash will remain and that all of the glass panes will be replaced and the hardware repaired to make the windows operable. The deterioration of the windows in Building 47 is much more severe. The wood sash windows are typically in poor condition as shown in Photos 35 through 38. Many of the wooden members are missing. Most of the sills have rotted where snow and water did not drain properly. This study assumes all of the wood windows will be replaced with new windows to match the original. Finally, many of the doors on both buildings will have to be reworked. Original metal clad wood doors like those shown in Photo 39 can probably be rehabilitated. Other openings, like that shown in Photo 40, will have to be totally reconstructed. REPAIR RECOMMENDATIONS AND COST ESTIMATES A summary of our specific repair recommendations for the roof, facade and structural elements of Buildings 46 and 47 is included as Appendices A and B. In conjunction with this study, Ron Radecki provided general specifications for the build out of the museum. His recommendations are included as Appendix C. A budgetary estimate has been prepared by Ziolkowski Construction, Inc. based on the above information. Given the preliminary nature of the study and that they were asked to provide a "budgetary estimate ", they indicate their estimate was conservative in nature. They believe the projected cost of the work would be significantly lower once Design Development drawings are prepared. Their total budgetary estimate of $6.9M also includes approximately $375,000 for site work which we understand would be performed by others. A copy of their estimate is included as Appendix D. Mr. John Oxion Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend & St. Joseph County Re: Oliver Chilled Plow Works Buildings 46 and 47 - Forge 2 March 20, 2002 Page 6 We were surprised at the magnitude of this estimate. Breaking it down by building, the average cost for each was $165 /SF for Building 46 and $120 /SF for Building 47. We have recently worked on a similar project in Indianapolis to convert an old automobile factory into an auto museum. The Construction Manager for the project, Shiel Sexton, Inc. indicated that project costs are estimated to be $80 /SF for the 40,000 SF facility. The overall condition of that 1920's facility is better than Forge 2; however, it isn't 1 %z to 2 times as good. Using the $80 /SF value for the Forge 2 building results in a budgetary estimate of $4M. - Finally, a budgetary estimate was developed assuming the two building are simply stabilized and made usable for general storage purposes. Stabilization in this instance has been assumed to include the following work tasks taken from the Ziolkowski Construction, Inc. estimate. - Building Demolition #46 & #47 $248,400 Concrete Work (patching/floor topping) 225,000 Building #47 (roof/floor) 175,500 Building #46 (basement/1 floor) 115,400 Masonry Restoration 214,000 Structural & Misc. Steel Building #47 86,000 Building #46 54,500 Thermal & Moisture Protection (roof) 346,600 Doors and Windows Exterior Doors 37,500 Fire Protection 105,000 $1,382,900 Windows Building #46 160,000 Sawtooth Skylights 225,000 Building #47 185,000 Clearstory 200,000 $770,000 This results in a budgetary estimate of SIAM to $2.2M depending upon the extent of work performed on the windows. In all honesty, budgetary estimates of repairs of this magnitude based -upon a one -day study of a 50,000 SF facility are more guestimates than estimates. A reasonable next step would be for us to sit down with the potential user group and develop a set of Design Development Plans and Specifications suitable for more accurate pricing. These could include alternates such that the various proposed repairs range from "stabilization" to a full scale build -out of the proposed museum with all the "bells and whistles ". This next phase doesn't have to be expensive but is probably necessary before a reasonable judgement can be made based on cost. Mr. John Oxion Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend & St. Joseph County Re: Oliver Chilled Plow Works Buildings 46 and 47 - Forge 2 March 20, 2002 Page 7 We have enjoyed working on this phase of the project and would be happy to present a proposal for the next phase should you so desire.

LUECKE, MAYOR COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT JON R. HUNT EXECLITIVE DIRECTOR April 7, 2003 Mr. Terry Allen President, Hart-Parr Oliver Collectors Association 911 N. Fearing Avenue Abingdon, IL 61410 Dear Terry: This letter will serve as a notice of conditions and requirements to the Hart-Parr Oliver Collectors Association ( HPOCA) from the City of South Bend and the South Bend Redevelopment Commission (City) regarding Buildings 46 and 47 of the former Oliver Chilled Plow Works at 533 South Chapin Street in South Bend, Indiana. During our recent conversations and correspondence regarding the potential for the HPOCA to develop an agricultural equipment museum in South Bend, several conditions required for the project to move ahead on the Oliver Plow Works site have been identified by the City. Those criteria are as follows: 1. Satisfactory proof by the HPOCA that the organization has the wherewithal and financial capacity to conduct a project of this magnitude; realizing that this brownfield property will need to be renovated to Department of the Interior Standards given its inclusion in a National Register of Historic Places District. 2. The City is interested in selling the Building 46/47 property outright or transferring it to a viable user. The City is not interested in a Iona-term obligation to maintain or subsidize the facility or a museum operation. 3. A proposal must be made to the South Bend Redevelopment Commission with sufficient time to allow for the execution of a development agreement, which outlines the proposed actions and responsibilities to be taken by all parties involved in the project, and for aesthetic renovation and stabilization work to be completed on the buildings before March 31, 2004.

If the above activities have not commenced by December 1, 2003, then the City will move forward with the process necessary to demolish Building 46s and 47.

The City has agreed to provide to the HPOCA a dollar sum that is equivalent to our budgetary estimate for demolition of Buildings 46 and 47. That figure is $150,000 and it would be available as gap financing for the museum capital project at Buildings 46 and 47, but not as seed money to begin the work. I look forward to your response and further discussion as this project moves along.

South Bend, IN 46601 -1830 Dear Andy: This letter is to confirm to you our phone conversation of yesterday. We are no longer going to pursue the development of a museum in the old Oliver Chilled Plow Works plant buildings 46 & 47. We have decided that•the location, coupled with the longterm maintenance costs are just too great for our group to be able to support. We do wish to express our thanks to you and the mayor for all of your help to us while' we pursued this project. Your time and help are greatly appreciated. 'Ale are still actively pursuing the development of a museum, and definitely in South Bend. We are looking for a location close to the Northern Indiana Center for History, and hope to be able to continue to have your help and support as we work toward this goal. We feel that the location of the Studebaker Niuseum to this area can only help our cause. and that if we are all able to work together, this location would be beneficial to all of us. Again, thanks for all of your past and future help with this project. We will stay in touch. and hope that this.project can be accomplished.

LuecKE, MAYOR COMMUNITY , & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT June 13, 2003 John Oxian Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend & St. Joseph County 125 S. Lafayette Blvd First Floor South Bend, IN 46601 RE:. Demolition of Forge Shop #2 at the former Oliver Chilled Plow Works Dear Mr. Oxian: The City of South Bend has appealed to the Indiana State Historic Preservation Officer for permission to demolish the buildings that comprise Forge Shop #2 of the former Oliver Chilled Plow Works located in South Bend at 533 S. Chapin Street. Jon Smith responded to that appeal with a letter dated May 29, 2003. As shown under the carbon copy listing you were sent a copy of that letter. The SHPO requested that the City obtain input from the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana, the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend & St. Joseph County, the St. Joseph County Historian, the Northem Indiana Historical Society, and South Bend Heritage Foundation, Inc: The City is requesting input from your organization regarding the proposed demolition of Buildings 46 and 47 at the Oliver Site. Here is some background information from previous correspondence between the SHPO and the City regarding the request to demolish Forge Shop #2: Over the last three years the City has worked with the Hart-Parr Oliver Collectors Association (HPOCA), which was studying the feasibility of locating a museum in the Forge Shop #2 structures (Buildings 46 and 47). A study, funded by the Historic Landmark Foundation of Indiana and the City of South Bend, was conducted by Arsee Engineers, Inc. to provide a cost estimate of renovating the structure for an institutional use. The results of the Arsee study indicate a cost for structural stabilization that ranges from $1,400,000 to $2,200,000. Total rehabilitation for an institutional or commercial reuse was estimated to cost $4,000,000 to $6,500,000. These costs do not include addressing any potential COM,ituNm DEvaop 1ENt' ECO\Oti1IC DEVELOPMENT FINANCLAL & PROGRAM PAMELA C.

After this study was made available to the interested parties ( HPOCA, City, Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana, and the St. Joseph County Historic Preservation Commission) negotiations began that would have kicked off the development process. The HPOCA continued to express an interest in developing the buildings into a museum despite the high projected costs. However, the group expressed their desire to lease rather than purchase the buildings because of their concerns over the environmental condition of the property. The City agreed to partner in that effort, but expressed its interest in an outright sale of the property and its unwillingness to provide ongoing subsidies to the new museum organization since it already has financial commitments to several other museums. The City received a letter from the HPOCA president dated April 16, 2003 that expressed the organization's decision to no longer pursue the development of a museum at the Oliver Chilled Plow Works site. They made this decision because of the potential for environmental complications, the high cost of stabilization and renovation, and because another site better suited their needs. This group was the best hope for the reuse of Forge Shop #2. Without their interest or involvement, the City is left with a property that is not marketable because of the extremely high estimated costs for stabilization and renovation. Given the nature, location, and condition of the structures, it appears that the reuse potential is hopeless. With the interest of the HPOCA gone, renovation and reuse of the structures does not appear likely. No other entities have shown a desire to reuse the buildings in any capacity, and given their deteriorated condition and the associated costs of renovation, it would appear that development of the site is not feasible. We are requesting permission from the SHPO to demolish the Forge Shop #2 buildings using federal funds. The City is proposing a mitigation of this demolition, and any adverse effects arising from it, that would entail conducting a detailed inventory of the structures and photographically recording all significant elements of the Forge Shop #2 buildings and conditions as they exist at present. We would like your organization's input so that we can begin the process of removing these deteriorated and derelict buildings from the neighborhood. I would appreciate a letter expressing your opinion on this matter before July 1, 2003. If you have any questions please contact me at 245 -6112. Sincerely, i� /I Andy Laurent Economic Development Specialist City of South Bend ELUID11-11a :I *At AM: l ` V�r pl 0 , W At 184 feet, the smokestack of the Oliver Chilled Plow Works tow• ers over nearly every other structur in South Bend. Cloaked in scaffolding it is being rehabilitated, along with the adjacent powerhouse. These structures fueled the 35 -acre Oliver complex— factories where workers helped settle the west by producing a chilled steel plow that broke the prairie sod. The City of South Bend has invested significant resources in rehabilitating and securing a new use for these two icons of the city's industrial past. My attention was diverted from this �oteworthy endeavor by a nearby nountain of aggregate. A few months before, I had toured the various indus- trial buildings on the site. Structures ' that dated to the earliest years of the Plow works sat side -by -side with "newer" industrial buildings of ma- sonry and concrete. Now the site was a vast expanse of cleared land inter- - rupted only by the powerhouse and smokestack —and the mountain of rubble created after the other build- ings were demolished and processed through a giant masonry crusher. Historic buildings are the physical links to the generations that came before us, people who labored long days with no such thing as paid vaca- tion to create a better place than they found. I wager that visitors to the now renamed Oliver Industrial Park will be impressed with the renovated power house, soon to be the new home of use Fuel and Material. It will stand t as a place with a story, unlike the new industrial buildings that will rise around it. . orthern RcSgiop7u! offi,7e �U1o�i��nel/ tin �nali an ti Yee v a 1 irlrliS'f I'la- e /�•pn�� ;� 4 • }sai {.E � }:.t:. � -ie {, :z�.•tiv`k - '.r3. .�i.�f%e 'Z _ t' ..., .

Cornelius O'Brien Conference on Historic Preservation October 28-30,2004 in Madison This year, the Cornelius O'Brien Conference on Historic Preservation will be combined with the Indiana Main Street Conference for the first time. This combined conference model has been used with great success in a number of other states and has several distinct advantages'. By hosting a larger event, better rates can be secured from hotels and venues, keeping conference costs down. A larger pool of attendees will lead to greater networking opportunities as preservationists and Main Street staff engage in face -to -face dialog. Finally, the conference will address a broader range of topics, giving attendees more session choices. The combined conference is intended to meet the specific needs of both the Main Street and preservation communities while allowing for greater interaction between these groups. Madison, one of the first three experimental Main Street communities in the nation, and its magnificent collection of historic resources will be the setting for this event. Local historic landmarks will be featured as venues for most sessions. 2004 marks the 36` annual O'Brien Conference and the 18` annual Main Street Conference. Don't forget to make reservations early because Madison is a busy place during the fall color season! For more information about the combined conference, contact the DHPA at 317 -232- 1646 or visit the conference website at www. conferences .indiana.edu /obrien2004. Remember ... in CLG communities, a majority of local commission members must attend at least one informational or educational meeting each year. Participation in these educational programs will meet this requirement. City Plan Presents: The American City II Guest Speaker Series As a part of its continuing City Plan initiative, the Division of Community Development invites you to a Guest Speaker series entitled "An American City II - Getting Creative ". By offering a diverse group of nationally known, engaging individuals on a variety of subjects that are relevant and timely to the City Plan process and the citizens of South Bend area, this series serves as second installment to the first series held in Spring 2003. This four -part series will cover issues such as, Economic Development, Environmental Justice, Coalition Building, and Public Spaces. All events take place at the Century Center in downtown South Bend and are free to the public. For more information about the series and the City Plan process, please contact Jitin Kain (235 -5872) or George Adler (235 -5879) from the Division of Community Development. Speaker dates, times, and locations are as follows: John Norquist 7:00 p.m May 5, 2004 Hall A The Wealth of Cities The innate "wealth" of cities lies in providing people with lots of choices: where to eat, what to buy, where to work, whom to hire. John Norquist believes that cities thrive as the market thrives, with a ready supply of labor, a strong demand for goods, and a constant stream of creativity. Norquist, the Mayor of Milwaukee, Wisconsin from 1988 -2003, is currently the President and CEO of the Congress for the New Urbanism. Under his leadership, poverty declined, downtown housing boomed, and education and welfare reforms attracted national attention. Fred Kent & Kathy Madden 7:00 p.m May 20, 2004 Hall C South Creating a Sense of Place Placemaking is a multi- faceted approach that allows diverse constituencies to create a vision for how a public space can be reshaped into a welcoming, livable, and well - functioning place for a community. Fred Kent and Kathy Madden are the President and Vice President respectively of Project for Public Spaces, a non - profit organization dedicated to creating and sustaining public spaces that build communities through technical assistance (planning, design, and management), education and training. Their perspective on place making is based on their belief that improving or developing a public place should be driven by a sense of place, rather than the design. Improvements need to reflect community values and needs. Elizabeth Valdez 7:00 p.m May 27, 2004 Hall C North The Culture of Conversation Elizabeth Valdez, Organizer with The Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF), has trained hundreds of community leaders over the past 18 years in the arts of civic engagement and the skills necessary for participating in our rapidly changing economy. Ms. Valdez is the lead organizer of Valley Interfaith, an organization of forty -three institutions in the bi- cultural / bilingual region of the Rio Grande Valley. She believes that mediating institutions can bring together a rich diversity of poor and middle class, liberal and conservative to cross ethnic and racial lines and work together around the decisions that affect their families. Majora Carter 7:00 p.m June 1, 2004 Hall C North Environmental Justice Builds Community A long history of racial and class discrimination in land use decisions and housing has located the worst polluting waste - transfer stations, truck- dependent warehouses, and highways in some cities. Inspired by the potential of creating environmentally safe spaces in the South Bronx, New York, Majora Carter discusses community building that is informed by the needs of the community and values of environmental justice. Ms. Carter is the founder and executive director of Sustainable South Bronx, a community based organization created in 2001 to implement sustainable development projects for the South Bronx.

RONALD SNYDER: Briefly described in detail to the commission the work he proposes to have done to his property. (Refer to application items in C of A and drawing plans and pictures attached to C of A). JOANN SPORLEDER: I move that application items a, b, c, d, e, be approved according to the items listed in the drawings as presented in C of A application 2004 - 0315 -2.

JULIE SCHUTTE: (See staff report attached to C of A). Patrick Lynch, a representative for the South Bend Heritage Foundation, was present. JOHN OXIAN: I cannot go along with cutting down the chimney. I think you can salvage the Tuscan columns. What are the odds of you saving the bases at the bottom of the columns? How bad of a condition are they in? Are you replacing all of the floorboards in the porch? PATRICK LYNCH: We are going to try and save as much as we can. The caps are in good shape. The shafts are in fairly good shape and just need to be touched up sdme. However, the bases are rotted. We will replace the porch boards only where it is necessary. The damage is confined to certain areas of the porch. The edges of the porch near the entrance have been damaged. JOANN SPORLEDER: Can you buy new bases without having to buy the columns? PATRICK LYNCH: Well, actually you have to buy the cap and the base. JOHN OXIAN: If we approve this then I would recommend that our inspector and Julie see what you are planning on installing first before hand. LYNN PATRICK: Regarding application 2004 -0406, 702 West LaSalle, I move that recommendation A through K be approved as written here; including the attempted repair of the columns with Abatron wood epoxy and filler. The historic preservation acting director and/or inspector will also go over to look at the columns if there is any change or problems. The chimney will also be retained and all else shall be concluded as per specified herein.

JULIE SCHUTTE: (See staff report and pictures attached to C of A). The homeowner, Douglas Turnock was present. DOUGLAS TURNOCK: I am supposed to be on the AEP list to have these two trees taken down. I wanted to make sure I had permission to do this first before they took them down. Last year I tried to get them to take these two trees down; because, they are growing into the garage roof and foundation. JOANN SPORLEDER: Is this your electrical line going through the trees, (refer to photo attached to C of A)? OA DOUGLAS TURNOCK: Yes. This is why I want AEP to do it. The wires that are there now are from the 1920's and they are all bald. LYNN PATRICK: I move we approve application 2004 -0408, 543 Edgewater Place, the removal of two trees near the garage, one Chinese elm and one Mulberry. Joann Sporleder and Virginia O'Hair second the motion and it passes unanimously. B. HEARING OF VISITORS 1. Kathy Hardy, Friends of Marquette School KATHY HARDY: I live at 15444 Miami Trail, Rolling Prairie, Indiana. I am a teacher at Marquette School, and I have recently learned there might be a possibility of demolition. We were concerned about this, as is Digger Phelps. We contacted Karen Hammond -Nash about the school. I have a petition with lots of signatures from ' community members, former students, former parents, who would very much like to see the building remain standing and remain in good use for the community.
