ANNOUNCEMENTS, & MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS ADJOURNMENT STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: 05/20/04 Application Number: 2004-0502- 1 Property Location: 909 Riverside Drive Property Owner: Cecilia and Lawrence Cunningham Landmark or District Designation: Riverside Drive LHD; Chapin Park NRD Rating: Significant STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT, Ennis R Austin, noted South Bend architect, designed this residence and garage in 1909. It is a Period Revival house with many Dutch Colonial Revival and English county influences, which includes the stucco exterior, broad dormers, dual chimneys, and windows. The architect actually resided in the home until 1913 when Carl A Ross, the President of the Burnoil Engine Company, purchased the property, The Cunningham's have owned the house for fifteen years. The property overlooks Leeper Park and the Saint Joseph River and has several planned garden areas lined with stone retaining walls. Along Dushane Court stands a ship -lap or Dutch lap garden house with a shed roof, which at one time was in good condition and would have been considered a contributing feature of the gardens. From the garden house, one would have a panoramic view of the formal garden and the river. Presently, the garden house is overgrown by shrubs and poison ivy; termites have eaten through the wood boards; and much of the flooring, siding and roof decking is rotted. APPLICATION ITEMS: Option 1: Demolish wood frame garden house and extend Cyprus fence along Dushane Court Option 2: Replace garden house with a mostly new garden house and salvage what can be salvaged Option 3: Replace with a new lean-to garden structure, same dimensions RECOMMENDATION The current owners have spent $20,000 or $30,000, by recent estimates, to repair and partially replace the slate roof of the house; and they spent a substantial amount of money to repair the garden's stonewalls. The owners have found it very difficult to find a contractor who will even agree to look at the garden house, as coming near it could cause a severe allergic reaction due to the poison ivy. The estimates received certainly include the difficulties of working at a site with such wild and poisonous landscape elements. To remove the rot and termite -eaten portions of the structure and rebuild a similar structure, estimates range from $5,500 to $6,900. This is rather a daunting price for a small structure in the owner's garden. A garden house kit would cost around $3,000 to $4,000, labor not included. Though the lack -luster state of the garden house and the overgrown appearance of the garden is unfortunate, the condition of the garden house is so far gone to preclude rehabilitation. The owners have chosen to spend their money on maintaining their house, which would be the first priority of any homeowner and is a principle inline with HPC's maintenance recommendations. Though the rehabilitation of the garden house would be the optimum choice to maintain the design of the garden, staff sadly recommends approval of the request to demolish the existing garden house. The photographs taken recently should well document the construction of the existing garden shed and its location on Dushane Court for research purposes of future owners. Staff recommends that the Commission could approve a new garden house with the same dimensions and roof slope. As the current owners have spent a substantial amount of money on the main house and other garden elements, the date of the re -construction of a garden house should be left to the owners' budget coordination and discretion. Though staff would first recommend the removal of the entire fence, the taming of the overgrown bushes and the use of a security camera to deter thieves in place of the fence, the fence has stood for at least ten years and the owners have no desire to remove it. Without the existing garden house, the fence will have a large hole. A new garden house could be constructed just in front of the fence. Staff recommends approval of the installation of matching wood fencing material that will weather in time to fill the gap in the existing fence.

The pumping station was built in 1912 during the City Beautiful era when civic pride was elegantly revealed and trumpeted in works of civic architecture and the development of public parks. (In 1911, the Board of Park Commissioners hired George Kessler to prepare a master pian for a park and boulevard system.) Landscape architects, city officials and others hoped the natural settings cultivated in public parks would increase the health of the nation's cities. Providing clean water to residents was and still is an important civic responsibility. Constructing buildings with many decorative Neo -Classical features broadcasted to the public the city's fulfillment of its duties to create a healthy (and beautiful) environment and provide basic services to the community. The East and Central portion of Leeper Park were planned and designed with passive recreation and the natural environment in mind. The views and vistas of the Saint Joseph River, the island, natural elements, and the buildings constructed with human hands over the course of the park's lifetime maintain the natural and designed beauty of Leeper Park. APPLICATION ITEMS: Install 21' wide by 9' tall black vinyl coated chain link double swing gate RECOMMENDATION The eastern portion of Leeper Park is perhaps one of the loveliest parks in South Bend. Nature's beauty enhanced by the tree canopy, unfenced expanses grass, the river, and the island surround exceptional examples of architecture: the Navarre Cabin, the Zeigler theatre, the reservoir, and especially the North Pumping Station. These undisturbed and panoramic views and vistas of both the natural and architectural elements within the eastern section form the basis of landscape design theory working in this park, which so many people enjoy. In the case of this application, one must be sure the public's experience and overall enjoyment of the North Pumping Station, Leeper Park and landscape views are not compromised while the safety and security needs of the North Pumping Station employees are reasonably met. The enjoyment of the park stems from its views and vistas of the river, the North Pumping Station, and its other features. According to the Leeper Park standards, the views and vistas of character defining features of the park in the eastern and central sections are the primary features that shall be preserved. (See Section 9.2) The North Pumping Station as an outstanding example of the City -Beautiful civic architecture is a character -defining feature. Thus, the views of the building from various points within the park, even views of the sides and the rear, are to be preserved. . The Water Works Board proposes to install a 9' tall and 21' wide chain link gate across the Pumping Station driveway that is accessible on Michigan Street. To visualize the size of such a gate, it would stand 3' over a tall person's head. A chain link gate, though mostly open, would greatly disrupt a person's view of the north fagade of the North Pumping Station when walking through East or Central Leeper Park. It would also be seen across Michigan Street in Leeper Park Central. The pleasant visual experience of the North Pumping Station and the eastern section of the park would be disturbed by the noncontributing and inappropriate material. To encourage good use of the park, respectful visits to the North Pumping Station, the preservation of the park's views and vistas, and appropriate additions to the park staff strongly recommends against a chain link gate. Chain link is not consistent with the Beaux Arts Style of the Pumping Station, the formal style of the Leeper Park gardens, the rustic elements of the Navarre Cabin and the island, and the park's natural setting. It is more consistent with industrial and construction sites. Though chain link fences surround the tennis courts, the courts are 1960s functional additions and are located in the active portion of the park, which has more flexible standards. Staff understands that the Water Works Board is concerned about possible traffic increases when Bartlett Street closes and traffic is diverted onto Park Lane. Presently, about seven or ten cars use the parking lot as a short cut. In general, this is not heavy traffic flow. HPC staff finds it difficult to recommend approval for an item that will, have an impact on the park and is inappropriate based on inconclusive evidence of traffic increases. Staff does recommend the following as solutions to the traffic problem. Most optimal solutions with the least impact on the park: • Ticketing to discourage those who use the parking lot as a short cut (The existing security cameras could be as used as aids). • Speed bumps to slow short cut traffic through the parking lot (They work well as a traffic deterrent as well!!) • Sign and paint strip to direct delivery traffic where to stop for review. • Blast -resistant window glazing to ease worry of security concerns due to recent events. Less optimal solutions that are less visually intrusive and more consistent with the park than chain link: • Access control gate with a lift arm. (Motors are kept in a compact unit. One company (Amano Cinncinati) has designed a less utilitarian unit (see attached sheets). Arm can be raised and lower and would be less visible than the chain link gate. One unit would cost about the same as the chain link gate.) • A gate that is classically designed could be consistent with the park and the elegance of the North Pumping Station. A shorter gate could be used to save money to pay for the design upgrade. According to Mr. Wiltrout, a decorative gate of the same height would cost only $200 more than the coated chain link.) However, a gate of any style would still disrupt to current views of the park and the North Pumping Station. Staff recommends a balanced and reasonable response to traffic concerns that takes into account the overall experience of the park and the preservation of its important views and vistas. Staff recommends the observation of a traffic increase after Bartlet Street closes to ensure a gate or other access control gates are needed devises. Staff recommends the use of visually non -intrusive strategies mentioned above.

J �'- Security Design Coalition THE COALITIONS ISSUES [_— EXAMPLES M RESOURCES 1- M l!—./'e— K v n ->4 -ION Urban Design & Historic Preservation [AILW4i1W CONTA Communities across the country are strengthening the quality of their urban areas and open spaces through urban design and historic preservation strategies. In older cities, this often means revitalizing downtown business zones that previously offered little to attract people during evenings and weekends. These areas are being revitalized, in part, through integrated urban design programs aimed at making downtown areas inviting destinations at all hours and for diverse groups. Newer towns also employ urban design strategies to give a sense of coherence to recently constructed public areas and to provide focal points for communal activities. -----+Zt> Likewise, historic structures and landscapes provide Irreplaceable richness and character for towns and cities of all sizes. These landscapes and buildings are vital links to past generations and our own histories. Efforts to preserve, restore, and reuse historic sites gained widespread support in the United States during the past 25 years. Now, once -abandoned civic treasures have been lovingly re-claimed and restored or converted into new uses. Historic landscapes are increasingly studied, documented, and reinterpreted as tangible connections between the past and present. , -- New security measures can be coordinated with established urban design patterns and historic sites. Required security technologies should be respectful of the site's context, proportions, rhythms, materials, important views, jvm o ir_ meaning, uses. eco oqy, and cultural context. Historic sites require judicious choices about the materiality and placement of new security features, inciudinq perimeter control devices;7tghtmg fixtures, visual surveillance campaq and arras,; rrintml terhnologies. Thoughtful on-site analysis will help the oesigner and security professional understand a site's unique features that should be respected. Property owners and facility managers seeking to improve security should include the design and construction team in the security survey/risk assessment process. If designers understand the performance standards mandated by the site's security survey/risk assessment process, they can create inventive solutions that respect both the security upgrades and the site's unique qualities. This increases the likelihood that security improvements will be built to the required standards and in a way that preserves the historical integrity, value, and image of the property.

The schools stands on property once owned by early pioneer families of Saint Joseph County, including the Farnemans, the Tashers, and the Jenn'ingses, and the Wagner apple orchard. In 1928, the School Corporation acquired the property and George Freyermuth designed the building. The original portion of the building was constructed in the Collegiate Gothic style with 17 classrooms, an auditorium, a gymnasium, a kindergarten, a science room, basement furnace room, and chimney. This portion of the building retains its original masonry walls and limestone window and door surrounds (now painted white), original metal casement windows, copper gutters, and slate roof. The slate roof employs a design feature often found on Scottish and English Gothic roofs. The slates decrease in size as the height of the roof increases. This creates the illusion of a steeper roof. Much detail and care was applied to the design of this building! In 1952 and 1959, brick additions much more plain and functional in design extend the building to the south and accommodate more students APPLICATION ITEMS: Masonry cleaning and repointing the rear section of the original school and the 1952 and 1959 additions Repair and/or replacement of spalled and cracked bricks and/or limestone Removal of flaking coating and recoating of limestone RECOMMENDATION Many quick -fix maintenance treatments were applied to the masonry and stonework of this building several years before its landmark designation, including the application of a coating to the mortar joints on the rear of the original school and the 1952 addition, coating of the limestone window and door surrounds, and less than satisfactory repointing jobs, which have caused some bricks to crack and spall. Other treatments have occurred more recently. The chimney also required lowering, removal of brick, and repointing.. Its condition continues to concern the School Corporation's maintenance department. It is hoped that repointing the masonry joints, cleaning the masonry, sealing the masonry, the replacement of damaged brick, especially in the chimney, and cleaning and recoating the limestone will better preserve the building from water infiltration and deterioration. If the proper techniques and materials are used, these treatments will help preserve the building; however, improper repointing and cleaning techniques and cleaners, sealers, and mortar could facilitate deterioration of the building's protective layer. The National Parks Service and the U.S. General Services Administration have published extensively on masonry repointing and cleaning, and limestone cleaning and repair. NPS recommends against cleaning masonrysurfaces with commercial cleaners (acidic) as these products can contain acids that leach into the porous brick and mortar joints and leave behind salts. NPS recommends spot cleaning rather than cleaning entire surfaces with commercial cleaners, if cleaning is indeed necessary. The GSA rule of thumb is to achieve 85% clean rather than 100% clean. GSA specifications generally call for a very mild blend of buffered ingredients and wetting agents (3% solution or 1 part concentrate to 16 parts water). No metal buckets or bowls. Products containing muriatic acid should not be used. Hydrofluoric acid (HF) will not leave behind salts and it found in masonry restoration cleaners, but would etch limestone. Copious amounts of water should be used to dilute acidic cleaners and protect limestone from etching. Natural fiber brushes and low water pressure (max 300 psi) should be used during cleaning. NPS and GSA recommend hand trowling'mortar joints, but the specifications seem to adequately provides incentives to diligently grind mortar joints without nicking bricks and finishing the joints by hand. NPS repointing guidelines specify the use of lime mortar, which the submitted specifications follow closely. Staff recommends approval the specifications submitted by Forum Architecture and the School Corporation for Monroe School with the following additions and amendments: 04500 — Masonry Restoration 1.1 General D. Gently wash all surfaces and clean with commercial cleaner where needed. 2.3 Sealants Provide a non -silicone based sealant as silicone based sealants can retain water within the masonry. A sealant would probably not be necessary if a low-pressure wash were used without commercial cleaners. 2.4 Cleaners A. #600 Sure Klean detergent should not for this project. Appropriate cleaners would be Sure Klean Restoration Cleaner, Sure Klean VanaTol, 101 G Granite, Terra Cotta, Brick Cleaner, or other similar products. 3.4 Total Re -pointing areas G. Maintain slightly recessed joint profile and do not overfill joints. 3.5 Wash A. Wash entire masonry surface with clean, potable water, no high-pressure spray, 300 psi max. and natural fiber bristle brushes to remove loose dirt and peeling coatings. Use appropriate chemicals suited for the materials where needed and rinse from bottom of the building to the top. Protect limestone with water to prevent acid from etching stone and rinse often. No metal buckets. Use ] part concentrate to 16 parts water. 04110 — Restoration Mortar 2.2 Mortar Aggregates; Avoid fine sand samples; beach, river, or agricultural sand with coarse aggregates should be used for the 1931/32 portion of the building. Different aggregates may need to be used depending upon the mortar types used for the 1952 and 1959 additions.

As previously performed in 1999, the work includes the complete cleaning of all exterior masonry, complete tuckpointing of all masonry, the repair and replacement of any damaged brick and/or limestone, the recoating of the limestone previously coated throughout the exterior of the building, and the use of a clear masonry sealer over the existing brick work. The west, north, and two-thirds of the east elevations of the original 1932 building were completed during the Summer of 1999. It is requested that the same procedures and materials be used to facilitate the completion of this work on the remainder of the elevations of the 1932 original building and all elevations of the 1952 and 1959 additions. For your review, attached is documentation for the specified products that were used in the 1999 restoration work. This documentation describes the procedure used in this repair work for masonry cleaning, tuckpointing, brick sealing, limestone repair, and limestone coating. It is critical to the life of the building exterior to have this work completed this summer due to several large areas of the 1932 building and the 1952 addition experiencing severe water infiltration in areas of masonry and masonry grout that have deteriorated. All materials being used are sensitive to the nature of this facility, including the use of lime -based mortar and cleaning and restoration materials such as Dietrich No. 707 Limestone Cleaner Pre -rinse, Jahns No. M70 Softstone Patching Mortar for Limestone, Jahns No. M90 Patching Mortar for Repair of Concrete. We have visited the site with Joanne Sporeleader, Architectural Historian, and Julie Schutte, Assistant Director, explaining the previous procedures that took place and showing the need for the continued restoration to preserve this building. The goal of this restoration project is to provide a uniformity of the masonry work throughout the entire building in a manner that will restore its watertightness and preserve the masonry and limestone for many years to come.

STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: 05/10/04 Application Number: 2004-0510 - 1 Property Location: Arthur Fredrickson House; 702 W Colfax Avenue Property Owner: Cindy and Terry Lewis Landmark or District Designation: Local Landmark, West Washington National Register District Rating: Outstanding/ 13 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT, The 1892 Arthur Fredrickson House, as many of you know, stood at 233 N Lafayette Blvd adjacent to the Fredrickson Candy store and office building. In October 1987, several interested parties worked to move the house to its current location. In 1988, the Landmark ordinance was amended to protect the house on its current lot. The Fredrickson house is an outstanding Queen Anne residence with stick style influence. Character defining features are: the irregular plan, multiple porches with exquisite details, multiple surface textures with fish - scale shingles, clapboard siding, brackets, and latticework trim boards, the turret, and a plethora of windows. The house now stands in the residential West Washington neighborhood. A large parking pad covers most of the lot, as the house was once owned by the Family Learning Center. A stockade privacy fence lines the rear of the property. The Lewis' presently own the building and hope to turn it into a bed and breakfast. APPLICATION ITEMS: A.) Construct 2 -stall garage in rear of the lot, wood frame, 10/12 pitch, and lapboard siding with fish, scales, sash windows. B.) Remove concrete walk between driveway and apartment's parking lot. C.) Remove portions of parking pad and driveway to expand gardens and grass. D.) Extend fence along side of yard adjacent to apartment building. RECOMMENDATION Garage: The Lewis' propose to construct a 2 -stall garage 24' by 26' in dimension rather than a 3 -stall garage as shown in the plans. The two -stall garage would better reflect the proportions of the house than the 3 -stall garage. The garage would be located behind the house, between the two drains located in the photos. The garage will not attach to the house, and the garage doors will face east. The garage would be wood frame construction with a 10 to 12 pitch to match the pitch of the main roof of the house. The proposal for the garage also includes: double -hung windows, cement board siding, 2 aluminum garage doors with three lights in each door, fish scale siding, and a solid panel door. The drawings depict 6 over 6 double hung windows Staff finds that the garage addition follows Landmark IStandards for Renovations and Additions. It will not detract from the original form and unity of the landmark, and will not cover singular architectural features. The location -of the garage behind the house will minimize its affect on the unity of the site and the view of the landmark from Colfax Avenue. Staff does have some concerns that the design of the exterior of the garage will fall just short of the stick style of the house. With a few changes that reflect the design of the house, the garage would look really sharp and create a more unified design for the property. The Queen Anne house has many vertical design elements: the shutter -like double cross molding pieces underneath the turret, the vertical trim pieces on either side of some of the windows that extend to the gable, and the wide trim board. The latticework on the main gable, the curved brackets, the scroll -like porch post details, and the arched balcony also add character -defining features to the exterior. Staff would recommend adding wider trim corner boards and trim pieces under the boxed eaves and the fish scales to give more visual support to the roof and gable. The faux- shake siding under the gable (see the architectural drawing) reflects the shingle style more than the playful stick style half -round fish scales. Wider trim boards (1" by 4" and 1" by 6") and half -round fish scale siding are available in wood and fiber cement board. Above the porch roof is an interesting but simple trim group that frames the window and adds texture to the exterior siding. Something similar could be applied to the second story window. One - over -one double -hung windows would better match the windows in the main house. I realize that adding many of these details to the garage could add to the Lewis' budget, but the inclusion of some would add a bit more design interest to the structure and thus integrate the garage and the house as a more harmonious pair. Overall, staff recommends approval of the garage and hopes the Lewis' would be able to adapt the exterior details and proportions of the house to the garage. Paving Removal: The removal of portions of the parking pad and the driveway, and the cement walk between the driveway and the apartment complex would be a vast improvement to the site and the neighborhood! !! Staff gladly recommends approval. Fence: The Lewis' also propose to install a fence along their east property line. Staff would like to point out that the Fredrickson house was originally laced with a 3' wrought -iron fence with three gates. The fence had two staggered rows of finials. A fence that adapted this design would be truly appropriate. As a second option, staff would suggest a more open fence than the stockade type along the side. An open fence would provide some privacy from the apartment and add beauty to the neighborhood. Staff recommends viewing 1027 E Wayne as an example of open fence design on a busy urban property. A third option would be continuing the stockade privacy fence up to the rear set back of the house. A more open and decorative fence could transition from the privacy fence at the rear set back and into the front yard where the fence will have a greater impact upon the house and the neighborhood. A more open fence would be a lovely landscaping tool and buffer from the neighboring apartment building. Staff would recommend the above suggestion before extending the stockade fence the entire length of the property line.

Fence styles and house architectural styles developed together, each new housing style driving the creation of matching new fence types; for most homes, there is an appropriate fence style to match. The first houses at Plimoth and Jamestown had rough-hewn pales around their gardens. Later, as houses became more sophisticated, so did fences; Federal and Georgian styles produced a wide variety of wooden picket and board -style fences that were appropriate to these houses. Later still, the Victorians created even more elaborate wooden styles, as well as intricate cast- and wrought -iron fences, which became common during the early I800s. If a search through the standard options doesnt produce a suitable choice for your house, whatever its style, consider a custom fence. Copy a portion of railing or baluster from your home or one in the neighborhood and have a local carpenter make up the sections for you. There are even firms that can ship fencing sections to you at a very reasonable cost.

CALLED TO ORDER JOHN OXIAN: Called meeting to order at 7:33. 11. . PUBLIC HEARING A. CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS 1. 2004-0304; Leeper Park West; remove 2 box elder trees. JULIE SCHUTTE: (See staff report attached to C of A). The homeowner, Don Sappington, was present. DON SAPPINGTON: The box elder bugs come in through the front of the house and they hibernate under the shingles in our house. They hibernate in the fall and they come out in the spring. This is an everyday occurrence in our living room. They are everywhere. You *can collect maybe ten or fifteen bugs and kill them and you can leave the room and -come back in ten minutes and there will be half a dozen more bugs. The bugs are harmless and they don't bite. Spraying the trees would help, if they are sprayed properly in late summer. The reason why we have had so many problems this year is because I was incapacitated most of last year due to health problems. Every year I spray the front of our house at least half a dozen to a dozen times. We didn't seem to have as many problems other years as we have had this year. I did receive some information about this problem from both the Park Department and Historic Preservation. All of the information that I have here talks about everything, expect cutting the tree down. I am all for not cutting trees down, if there is another solution, but according to most of this information there is not much encouragement. MARTHA CHOITZ: I will make a motion on application 2004-0304, that the park department be notified that these two trees should be removed and replaced with hard wood trees that would be appropriate for Leeper Park. Also, the old tree stumps are to be ground out once these trees are cut down. CATHERINE HOSTETLER: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. 2. 2004-0305, Cripe-Witter Cemetery; remove fallen/diseased trees, burn off underbrush, add dirt to fallen graves, reset fallen markers. JULIE SCHUTTE: (See staff report attached to C of A). Mr. Christopher Overpeck, the contractor, and Shane Bartness, a volunteer for the German Township Fire Department, are present and represent the German Township Trustee. They brought pictures of the cemetery. CHRIS OVERPECK: The cemetery has not been taken care of for years. There really hasn't been a lot done to the cemetery, except for it being mowed. There has been a lot of vandalism. There are piles of tombstones. We spoke with the trustee of the cemetery and got a contract that allowed us to mow the cemetery. We have found tombstones now that we didn't even know existed. JULIE SCHUTTE: There are red flags that note where some of the graves are. Our office has a list of the known headstones, but we do not have a grid or a map showing where the original graves are located. JOANN SPORLEDER: Who actually owns the cemetery? CHRIS OVERPECK: I was told by our trustee, Dan Bader, that when a cemetery becomes vacated or abandoned, the township becomes responsible for it. CHRIS OVERPECK: They own the cemetery on the north side off of Adams Road, near the Adam and Orange intersection, and they also own this cemetery. JOHN OXIAN: I would like to have Wayne Doolittle to inspect the cemetery. Joann Sporleder made the following suggestions: 1. A record should be made of the existing tombstones in the cemetery and the names that are on them. 2. A map should be made of the cemetery showing the correct burial sites for those 2 10 existing tombstones that actually mark a grave. 3. The tombstones that do not mark a grave should be put together in an area of the cemetery, so that they can still be viewed by others. John Oxian also made a suggestion that Wayne Doolittle take pictures to show where all of the existing tombstones are located, so that there will be a pictorial file available for future reference. John Oxian also suggested that the fence ori the sides and in the back of the cemetery be a six-foot chain link fence .with the prongs up. Chris Overpeck suggested that a four -foot wrought iron fence be installed in the front of the cemetery for esthetics reasons. VIRGINIA O'HAIR: Are there any signs posted saying no dumping? SHANE BARTMESS: No, there are no signs. MARTHA CHOITZ: I will make a motion on application 2004-0305, that the following application items be approved by the commission: 1. Trim dead branches and remove fallen limbs from mature trees. 2. Remove debris, dumped branches and leaves, and over grown brush. 3. Fill depressions where land has sunken. 4. Repair and reset headstones. We also ask that someone in authority be approached to provide no -dumping signs for the cemetery to stop debris and trash from being dumped there. MARY JANE CHASE: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. III. REGULAR BUSINESS A. APPROVAL OF MINUTES (September 29.2003 — not completed) (February 23, 2004 — not completed) B. TREASURER'S REPORT (None to report at this time) C. HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMITTEE REPORT 1. St. Casimir, district project; proposed redevelopment standards GERALD UJDAK: I had a meeting a week ago with a few people from the district, Marco Mariani from Community Development, and Mike Divinta. They more or less went over the plans for St. Casimir, which at this time are extremely limited. There has been a hundred and eight thousand dollars budgeted for sidewalks, curbs, etc. The city will decide where they will go. 3 f, They have targeted five blocks of Dunham Street as the target block. It is near the middle of the district. For those of you who are not aware, that is an east -west street. It is a very narrow brick street. Fifty thousand dollars has also been budgeted for the purchase of one of these homes. John Oxian then made a suggestion that Gerry Ujdak pick one other commission member to work with him and the staff to come up with a plan for this district based on his suggestions and what the commission would like to see happen in this district. JOANN SPORLEDER: I move that we take this St. Casimir parish national register historic district preservation commission's document and propose we use the entire document as a preliminary guideline for redevelopment which can be amended or added to as necessary. GERALD UJDAK: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. John Oxian stated that he would like to mention item number one under New Business; (Oliver Foundry Building: Proposed Memorandum of Agreement for demolition) next since the two Oliver Foundry buildings are part of the St. Casimir national register historic district. I would also like to table the Memorandum of Agreement until we come up with a more definite idea on this. Sometime between now and April I would like to have a meeting. LYNN PATRICK: I will make a motion that we table the Oliver Plow MoA. GERALD UJDAK: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. 2. Bronson Street proposed local historic district JULIE SCHUTTE: The Bronson Street Committee is having a meeting tonight at 7:00 pm to discuss their application for a local historic district. They have put together a map and are in the process of putting together an ownership list. They are highly motivated, but their district committee is not fully established at this time. D. STAFF REPORTS 1. 531 S. St. Joseph Street, Taylor's Field Local Historic District: Code Enforcement possible request for demolition pending. JULIE SCHUTT9- Last week there was a code enforcement hearing on 531 South St. Joseph Street. The house is owned by Provident Bank and is being sold by McGinty. The bank unfortunately did not send a representative to the meeting. Code Enforcement was seeking to place a five thousand dollar fine on the bank; however, the hearing officer decided that a four thousand dollar fine would be placed on the bank. I spoke with Scott Horvath, the code enforcement inspector who is in charge of that area. He informed me 4 G -1 that they would be seeking demolition if no action were taken. There is some possibility that other houses in the district are in bad enough shape that they would also require demolition. This would be a very good time for the commission to take a look at that district and think about some ways in which repair or at least maintenance could be encouraged. 2. 1158 Lincolnway East, local district, partial loss of contributing structure; also 1402-1404 Lincolnway East, code enforcement issue, 2002 C of A. JULIE SCHUTTE: Gerry Ujdak and Wayne Doolittle both drove through the LWE district and mentioned that the house located at 1158 Lincolnway East is vacant and is currently up for auction on April P. Staff is currently working on a letter to send to the auctioneer to notify him that this house is in an historic district and what the district standards are. JOHN OXIAN: Who is the auctioneer? GERRY UJDAK: Haines. I spoke with him and he told me that it was a foreclosure or bankruptcy. JULIE SCHUTTE: Also in the district, the window that is boarded up at 1402-1404 Lincolnway East is still covered with plywood. There have been some repairs made to the barn/carriage house at 1202 Lincolnway East, which Wayne Doolittle took photos of. They have also replaced the siding on the barn. 3. Correspondence. . JULIE SCHUTTE: We received word that they are going to have public hearings about the US 31 project. They have published the draft environmental impact statement, and we have a full copy of it in our office. A public hearing is going to be held this Thursday, at 1:00 at the old Lakeville School, and then again at 7:00 pm at LaVille Jr/Sr High School on US 31. The doors will open at 6:00 pm for that meeting. John Oxian requested that Julie Schutte and Wayne Doolittle attend this meeting. 4. Legal Report: Chapin Park proposed local historic district.

KERNAN, Governor J; BRYANNICOL, Commissioner May 6, 2004 Mr. John Oxian Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph Counties 125 S. Lafayette Blvd. South Bend, IN 46628 Re: Des. No. 9901720, Project STP -230-1, SR 61 Bridge Replacement — Locust Road Over U.S. 20, 1.59 km East of S.R. 23, St. Joseph County Dear Mr. Oxian: The Indiana Department of Transportation intends to proceed with the aforementioned project. This letter is part of the early coordination phase of the environmental review process, in which we are requesting comments from your area of expertise regarding any possible environmental effects associated with this project. Please use the above designation number and description in your reply. We will incorporate your comments into a study of this project's environmental impacts. The primary need for improvement is based on the structure's substandard geometry, particularly the vertical clearance over US 20 and shoulder widths for both Locust Road and US 20. Also contributing to the need for replacement is the age of the 35 year old structure, the age and condition of the 16 year old overlay, areas of leaching along the bridge coping, and an area of exposed reinforcing steel on the underside of the concrete deck. The purpose of this project is to replace the existing functionally obsolete structure with one having contemporary, standard cross section elements and clearances. The project is located on Locust Road over US 20, .99 mile east of the intersection of US 20 with SR 23. It is located in Centre Township, St. Joseph County, south of South Bend. The existing horizontal alignment for this section of Locust Road is tangent within the anticipated project limits. The existing vertical alignment in the vicinity of the structure is in a 500' sag curve, a 500' crest vertical curve and a profile grade angular break without a vertical curve at the south end of a project. The posted speed limit is 35 mph for Locust Road in each direction. The apparent existing right-of-way along this section of Locust Rd. is 40'. Also, a 40' right-of-way corridor for Service Road No. 6 extends approximately 500' east of Locust Road in the northeast quadrant. The existing horizontal alignment for this section of US 20 is tangent in the vicinity of Locust Road. The existing vertical alignment for US 20 is a -0.46% grade in the vicinity of Locust Road. The posted speed limit is 55 mph for US 20 in each direction. The minimum existing right-of-way along this section of US 20 is 140', and the maximum is 280'. Land use in this area is primarily residential in all four quadrants in the immediate vicinity of the structure. St. Joseph County is home in places for federally endangered Indiana bats and the federally threatened Prarie White Fringed Orchid. No evidence of any of these was found in the project limits during the field check. A possible wetland area exists in the NE, NW, and SW quadrants, which are scheduled for delineation in June, 2004. This project is not located within the potential karst feature area of the state. The preferred alternate proposes the existing bridge be removed and replaced with a new bridge. The project will have a total length of 1850 feet. The maximum vertical rise will be north of the bridge where the grade will rise approximately 5 feet. The south and north approaches will be approximately 700 feet and 850 feet in length respectively. The proposed structure is a two span Continuous Composite Prestressed Precast Concrete Bulb -Tee Beam Bridge. The span lengths are 2 @ 92'. The clear roadway width on the bridge is 45'4". The proposed structure will be constructed with a 42 degree 15'22" right skew to US 20. Along Locust Road, there will be two 12' lanes with 11' usable and 10' paved shoulders (12' paved adjacent to guardrail). The minimum right of way width will be 40' (existing) and the maximum will be 250'. The amount of permanent right of way to be acquired for the proposed project is 1.6 acres. Approximately 0.16 acres of temporary right of way will be needed for drive construction. Survey limits along Locust Road will extend from 1000' north to 1150' south of the existing structure, along the existing roadway centerline. Along US 20, the survey limits will extend from 675' west to 675' east of the existing structure. Traffic on Locust Road will be maintained by using a detour that utilizes local roads. The detour route will follow Ireland Road, Linden Road and Ewing Avenue. Traffic on US 20 will be maintained by using at a minimum one lane of traffic in each direction. Per FHWA's request, we are seeking input from historical consulting parties prior to establishing a final determination of effect. The St. Joseph County Interim Report of the Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Inventory was referenced and within the proposed project area, there are no sites either listed on, considered eligible for, or being considered for eligibility on the National Register of Historic places. Furthermore, the structure is not listed in Dr. Cooper's Artistry and Ingenuity in Artificial Stone, Indiana's Concrete Bridges, 1900 -1942. At this time, INDOT has determined that there will be no historic properties affected. The recommended APE includes the proposed right-of-way and the area immediately surrounding it. This correspondence is being forwarded to the following historical consulting parties for confirmation of the above determination: State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana, St. Joseph County Historian, South Bend Heritage Foundation, Inc., Downtown South Bend, Inc., and Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County. Archaeology will be performed and forwarded to SHPO for concurrence. Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act requires Federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties. In accordance with 36CFR800.2(c), you are hereby requested to be a consulting party to participate in efforts to identify historic properties potentially affected by the undertaking, assess its effects and seek ways to avoid, minimize or mitigate any adverse effects on historic properties. Per 36CFR800.3(f), we hereby request that the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) notify this office, within 30 days of the receipt of this letter, under separate cover, if the SHPO is aware of other parties that may be entitled to be consulting parties for the subject project. Please respond with your comments on any environmental impacts associated with this project. If we do not receive a response within, sixty days, it will be assumed that your agency feels that there will be no adverse effects incurred as a result of the proposed project. Should you find that an extension to the response time is necessary, a reasonable amount will be granted upon request. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact Michelle Barnier, of this section, at (317) 232-5135. Thank you in advance for your input. James E.

CHARLES E FARRELL, P.E. ADIN M. McCANN, P.E. MICHAEL J. GUZIK, EE. We are writing to initiate the Early Coordination of a transportation project being planned in St. Joseph County, Indiana. The proposed project will widen and improve the existing McKinley Highway corridor in St. Joseph County, Indiana from 610 feet east of Bittersweet Road to 600 feet east of Birch Road. The project is currently in the design phase. The proposed road improvements project is a Local Public Agency (LPA) Project. As such, a portion of the project will be Federally funded. As a result of the Federal involvement, the project is required by law to adhere to the guidelines contained in the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), as well as the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act requires Federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties. In accordance with 36 CFR 800.2(c), you are hereby requested to be a consulting party to participate in the Section 106 process. This process involves efforts to identify historic properties potentially affected by the undertaking, assess its effects and seek ways to avoid, minimize or mitigate any adverse effects on historic properties. There are two alternatives being developed for the proposed project. Alternative A consists of adding two travel lanes and a continuous two-way left -turn lane utilizing the existing alignment. Alternative B is the "Do Nothing" alternative. Alternative A is our preferred alternative. We ask you to look at the developed alternatives and evaluate Alternative A as the proposed final alternative. The preliminary Area of Potential Effects (APE) for Alternative A has been determined to be all parcels immediately adjacent to the proposed project. It is important to note that the preliminary APE has been developed without comment from the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) and the Section 106 consulting parties. As the project continues to advance, coordination with the SHPO and the Section 106 consulting parties will take place to firmly establish the APE for the proposed project.

Please keep in mind that at this point we have only finished the first submittal in the MOT design process and significant changes could be made to these plans in future submissions. 1. Attached to this letter are 11"x17" plan and profile sheets showing the existing and proposed location of the curb and sidewalks. Also, please refer to the digital pictures, provided in our March 12'' early coordination packet, for further detail of the existing location of curb and sidewalks. 2. We will not be adding decorative features to any of the sidewalks. All of the sidewalks will be replaced with plain concrete to match the existing material. 3. Seven small trees along the front of the South Bend Clinic located within the existing property lines will be removed due to the proposed construction. The replanting of these trees will be the decision of the property owner and will be negotiated during the R/W phase of the project. The three small trees located within the public R/W on the south side of LaSalle Street (west of Eddy Street) will not be replanted. Sodding will be applied wherever the existing grass is disturbed. We intend to limit disturbance to existing trees to a minimum. See the attached highlighted plans for tentative tree removal locations. 4. At this stage in the project we do not foresee the removal of 1028 East Colfax or any other buildings within the East Washington Historic District. We have narrowed the proposed travel lanes to avoid relocations. Please refer to the attached plans for existing and proposed R/W locations. By copy of this letter, we are requesting the consulting parties also comment on this additional information. 550 Union Street, Mishawaka, IN 46544 TEL (574) 259-9976 FAX (574) 259-9982 www.troyergroup.com torecycled paper Ms. Shana Kelso April 29, 2004 Page 2 Please contact us if we can provide any additional information concerning the project at this time.

Julie Schutte, Assistant Director John Livingston, City Attorney Wayne Doolittle, Inspector Karen Hammond -Nash, Director, I. , CALLED TO ORDER Shane Bartness, Christopher Overpeck, Don & Margaret Sappington, Don Sporleder, JOHN OXIAN: Called meeting to order at 7:33. 11. PUBLIC HEARING A. CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS 1. 2004-0304; Leeper Park West; remove 2 box elder trees. JULIE SCHUTTE: (See staff report attached to C of A). The homeowner, Don Sappington, was present. DON SAPPINGTON: The box elder bugs come in through the front of the house and they hibernate under the shingles in our house. They hibernate in the fall and they come out in the spring. This is an everyday *occurrence in our living room. They are everywhere. You can collect maybe ten or fifteen bugs and kill them and you can leave the room and come back in ten minutes and there will be half a dozen more bugs. The bugs are harmless and they don't bite. Spraying the trees would help, if they are sprayed properly in late summer. The reason why we have had so many problems this year is because I was incapacitated most of last year due to health problems. Every year I spray the front of our house at least half a dozen to a dozen times. We didn't seem to have as many problems other years as we have had this year. I did receive some information about this problem from both the Park Department and Historic Preservation. All of the information that I have here talks about everything, expect cutting the tree down. I am all for not cutting trees down, if there is another solution, but according to most of this information there is not much encouragement. MARTHA CHOITZ: I will make a motion on application 2004-0304, that the park department be notified that these two trees should be removed and replaced with hard wood trees that would be appropriate for Leeper Park. Also, the old tree stumps are to be ground out once these trees are cut down. CATHERINE HOSTETLER: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. 2. 2004-0305, Cripe-Witter Cemetery; remove fallen/diseased trees, burn off underbrush, add dirt to fallen graves, reset fallen markers. JULIE SCHUTTE: (See staff report attached to C of A). Mr. Christopher Overpeck, the contractor, and Shane Bartness, a volunteer for the German Township Fire Department, are present and represent the German Township Trustee. They brought pictures of the Cemetery. CHRIS OVERPECK: The cemetery has not been taken care of for years. There really hasn't been a lot done to the cemetery, except for it being mowed. There has been a lot of vandalism. There are piles of tombstones. We spoke with the trustee of the cemetery and got a contract that allowed us to mow the cemetery. We have found tombstones now that we didn't even know existed. JULIE SCHUTTE: There are red flags that note where some of the graves are. Our office has a list of the known headstones, but we do not have a grid or a map showing where the original graves are located. JOANN SPORLEDER: Who actually owns the cemetery? CHRIS OVERPECK: I was told by our trustee, Dan Bader, that when a cemetery becomes vacated or abandoned, the township becomes responsible for it. CHRIS OVERPECK: They own the cemetery on the north side off of Adams Road, near the Adam and Orange intersection, and they also own this cemetery. JOHN OXIAN: I would like to have Wayne Doolittle to inspect the cemetery. Joann Sporleder made the following suggestions: 1. A record should be made of the existing tombstones in the cemetery and the names that are on them. 2. A map should be made of the cemetery showing the correct burial sites for those 2 existing tombstones that actually mark a grave. 3. The tombstones that do not mark a grave should be put together in an area of the cemetery, so that they can still be viewed by others. John Oxian also made a suggestion that Wayne Doolittle take pictures to show where all of the existing tombstones are located, so that there will be a pictorial file available for future reference. John Oxian also suggested that the fence on the sides and in the back of the cemetery be a six-foot chain link fence with the prongs up. Chris Overpeck suggested that a four -foot wrought iron fence be installed in the front of the cemetery for esthetics reasons. VIRGINIA O'HAIR: Are there any signs posted saying no dumping? SHANE BARTMESS: No, there are no signs. MARTHA CHOITZ: I will make a motion on application 2004-0305, that the following application items be approved by the commission: 1. Trim dead branches and remove fallen limbs from mature trees. 2. Remove debris, dumped branches and leaves, and over grown brush. 3. Fill depressions where land has sunken. 4. Repair and reset headstones. We also ask that someone in authority be approached to provide no -dumping signs for the cemetery to stop debris and trash from being dumped there. MARY JANE CHASE: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. III. REGULAR BUSINESS A. APPROVAL OF MINUTES (September 29.2003 — not completed) (February 23, 2004 — not completed) B. TREASURER'S REPORT (None to report at this time) C. HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMITTEE REPORT 1. St. Casimir district project; proposed redevelopment standards GERALD UJDAK: I had a meeting a week ago with a few people from the district, Marco Mariani from Community Development, and Mike Divinta. They more or less went over the plans for St. Casimir, which at this time are extremely limited. There has been a hundred and eight thousand dollars budgeted for sidewalks, curbs, etc. The city will decide where they will go. 3 They have targeted five blocks of Dunham Street as the target block. It is near the middle of the district. For those of you who are not aware, that is an east -west street. It is a very narrow brick street. Fifty thousand dollars has also been budgeted for the purchase of one of these homes. John Oxian then made a suggestion that Gerry Ujdak pick one other commission member to work with him and the staff to come up with a plan for this district based on his suggestions and what the commission would like to see happen in this district. JOANN SPORLEDER: I move that we take this St. Casimir parish national register historic district preservation commission's document and propose we use the entire document as a preliminary guideline for redevelopment which can be amended or added to as necessary. GERALD UJDAK: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. John Oxian stated that he would like to mention item number one under New Business; (Oliver Foundry Building: Proposed Memorandum of Agreement for demolition) next since the two Oliver Foundry buildings are part of the St. Casimir national register historic district. I would also like to table the Memorandum of Agreement until we come up with a more definite idea on this. Sometime between now and April I would like to have a meeting. LYNN PATRICK: I will make a motion that we table the Oliver Plow MoA. GERALD UJDAK: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. 2. Bronson Street proposed local historic district JULIE SCHUTTE: The Bronson Street Committee is having a meeting tonight at 7:00 pin to discuss their application for a local historic district. They have put together a map and are in the process of putting together an ownership list. They are highly motivated, but their district committee is not fully established at this time. D. STAFF REPORTS 1. 531 S. St. Joseph Street, Taylor's Field Local Historic District: Code Enforcement possible request for demolition pending. JULIE SCHUTTt: Last week there was a code enforcement hearing on 531 South St. Joseph Street. The house is owned by Provident Bank and is being sold by McGinty. The bank unfortunately did not send a representative to the meeting. Code Enforcement was seeking to place a five thousand dollar fine on the bank; however, the hearing officer decided that a four thousand dollar fine would be placed on the bank. I spoke with Scott Horvath, the code enforcement inspector who is in charge of that area. He informed me 2 that they would be seeking demolition if no action were taken. There is some possibility that other houses in the district are in bad enough shape that they would also require demolition. This would be a very good time for the commission to take a look at that district and think about some ways in which repair or at least maintenance could be encouraged. 2. 1158 Lincolnway East, local district, partial loss of contributing structure; also 1402-1404 Lincolnway East, code enforcement issue, 2002 C of A. JULIE SCHUTTE: Gerry Ujdak and Wayne Doolittle both drove through the LWE district and mentioned that the house located at 1158 Lincolnway East is vacant and is currently up for auction on April 3rd. Staff is currently working on a letter to send to the auctioneer to notify him that this house is in an historic district and what the district standards are. JOHN OXIAN: Who is the auctioneer? GERRY UJDAK: Haines. I spoke with him and he told me that it was a foreclosure or bankruptcy. JULIE SCHUTTE: Also in the district, the window that is boarded up at 1402-1404 Lincolnway East is still covered with plywood. There have been some repairs made to the barn/carriage house at 1202 Lincolnway East, which Wayne Doolittle took photos of. They have also replaced the siding on the barn. 3. Correspondence. JULIE SCHUTTE: We received word that they are going to have public hearings about the US 31 project. They have published the draft environmental impact statement, and we have a full copy of it in our office. A public hearing is going to be held this Thursday, at 1:00 at the old Lakeville School, and then again at 7:00 pm at LaVille Jr/Sr High School on US 31. The doors will open at 6:00 pm for that meeting. John Oxian requested that Julie Schutte and Wayne Doolittle attend this meeting. 4. Legal Report: Chapin Park proposed local historic district. JOHN LIVINGSTON: I have been working with Aladean to get her approval of the ordinance that we want passed so that we can submit it. Right now Julie is working on the names of the people that we have to notify. IV. OLD BUSINESS 1. Eddy Street road widening; affect on East. Washington National Register Historic District; request opinion. JULIE SCHUTTE: There is a letter in your packets about the Eddy Street road project from the Troyer Group. Staff would like to know the Commission's position on this project and the East Washington National Register District. The Commission briefly discussed what their position was regarding the road widening project. Commission members stated that they were opposed to the removal of the bungalow that is located at 1028 Colfax. Julie Schutte made a note of the Commission's position regarding this project and plans to inform the Troyer Group accordingly. 2. Committee Appointments JULIE SCHUTTE: There is a list of the committee appointments with this month's meeting agenda. V. NEW BUSINESS 1. Oliver Foundry Building: Proposed Memorandum of Agreement for demolition. (This was tabled under the Historic District Committee Report, St. Casimir). 2. Natatorium & Children's Dispensary (now Hansel Center); report of Landmark Committee Chair. 3. St. Stephens Church. JOHN OXIAN: I would like to table item numbers 2 and 3 until Julie and I tour the buildings tomorrow. We can then meet and give our report on those buildings. 4. Southhold Awards planning schedule. Lynn Patrick gave a brief report to commission members regarding their plans for the Southhold Awards Banquet. Vi. HEARING OF VISITORS VII. ANNOUNCEMENTS VIII. ADJOURNMENT MARY JANE CHASE: I move that we adjourn the meeting. LYNN PATRICK: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. MEETING ADJOURNED 9:18 P.M. 0 AM THE TROYER me GROUP, Nc Leaders in Planning, Design and Management Services for the Enduring Built Environment April 29, 2004 Ms. Shana Kelso Historic Structures Reviewer Indiana Department of Natural Resources Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology Room W274, IGC'South 402 West Washington Street Indianapolis, IN 46204 RE: Eddy, Colfax, and LaSalle Intersection Improvements Des Numbers: 0400084 & 0400086 Dear Ms. Kelso: 03117.01 In response to your letter dated March 8, 2004, a copy of which is attached for your reference, we are providing the answers to your four questions. Please keep in mind that at this point we have only finished the first submittal in the MOT design process and significant changes could be made to these plans in future submissions. 1. Attached to this letter are 11"x17" plan and profile sheets showing the existing and proposed location of the curb and sidewalks. Also, please refer to the digital pictures, provided in our March 12`h early coordination packet, for further detail of the existing location of curb and sidewalks. 2. We will not be adding decorative features to any of the sidewalks. All of the sidewalks will be replaced with plain concrete to match the existing material. 3. Seven small trees along the front of the South Bend Clinic located within the existing property lines will be removed due to the proposed construction. The replanting of these trees will be the decision of the property owner and will be negotiated during the R/W phase of the project. The three small trees located within the public R/W on the south side of LaSalle Street (west of Eddy Street) will not be replanted. Sodding will be applied wherever the existing grass is disturbed. We intend to limit disturbance to existing trees to a minimum. See the attached highlighted plans for tentative tree,removal locations. 4. At this stage in the project we do not foresee the removal of 1028 East Colfax or any other buildings within the East Washington Historic District. We have narrowed the proposed travel lanes to avoid relocations. Please refer to the attached plans for existing and proposed R/W locations. By copy of this letter, we are requesting the consulting parties also comment on this additional information. 550 Union Street, Mishawaka,lN 46544 TEL (574) 259-9976 FAX (574) 259-9982 www.troyergroup.com %01 recycled Paper Ms. Shana Kelso April 29, 2004 Page 2 Please contact us if we can provide any additional information concerning the project at this time.

KERNAN, Governor J. BRYANNICOL, Commissioner May 6, 2004 Mr. John Oxian Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph Counties 125 S. Lafayette Blvd. . South Bend, IN 46628 Re: Des. No. 9901720, Project STP -230-1, SR 61 Bridge Replacement — Locust Road Over U.S. 20, 1.59 km East of S.R. 23, St. Joseph County Dear Mr. Oxian: The Indiana Department of Transportation intends to proceed with the aforementioned project. This letter is part of the early coordination phase of the environmental review process, in which we are requesting comments from your area of expertise regarding any possible environmental effects associated with this project. Please use the above designation number and description in your reply. We will incorporate your comments into a study of this project's environmental impacts. The primary need for improvement is based on the structure's substandard geometry, particularly the vertical clearance over US 20 and shoulder widths for both Locust Road and US 20. Also contributing to the need for replacement is the age of the 35 year old structure, the age and condition of the 16 year old overlay, areas of leaching along the bridge coping, and an area of exposed reinforcing steel on the underside of the concrete deck. The purpose of this project is to replace the existing functionally obsolete structure with one having contemporary, standard cross section elements and clearances. The project is located on Locust Road over US 20, .99 mile east of the intersection of US 20 with SR 23. It is located in Centre Township, St. Joseph County, south of South Bend The existing horizontal alignment for this section of Locust Road is tangent within the anticipated project limits. The existing vertical alignment in the vicinity of the structure is in a 500' sag curve, a 500' crest vertical curve and a profile grade angular break without a vertical curve at the south end of a project. The posted speed limit is 35 mph for Locust Road in each direction. The apparent existing right-of-way along this section of Locust Rd. is 40'. Also, a 40' right-of-way corridor for Service Road No. 6 extends approximately 500' east of Locust Road in the northeast quadrant. The existing horizontal alignment for this section of US 20 is tangent in the vicinity of Locust Road. The existing vertical alignment for US 20 is a -0.46% grade in the vicinity of Locust Road. The posted speed limit is 55 mph for US 20 in each direction. The minimum existing right-of-way along this section of US 20 is 140', and the maximum is 280'. Land use in this area is primarily residential in all four quadrants in the immediate vicinity of the structure. St. Joseph County is home in places for federally endangered Indiana bats and the federally threatened Prarie White Fringed Orchid. No evidence of any of these was found in the project limits during the field check. A possible wetland area exists in the NE, NW, and SW quadrants, which are scheduled for delineation in June, 2004. This project is not located within the potential karst feature area of the state. The preferred alternate proposes the existing bridge be removed and replaced with a new bridge. The project will have a total length of 1850 feet. The maximum vertical rise will be north of the bridge where the grade will rise approximately 5 feet. The south and north approaches will be approximately 700 feet and 850 feet in length respectively; The proposed structure is a two span Continuous Composite Prestressed Precast Concrete Bulb -Tee Beam Bridge. The span lengths are 2 @ 92'. The clear roadway width on the bridge is 45'4". The proposed structure will be constructed with a 42 degree 15'22" right skew to US 20. Along Locust Road, there will be two 12' lanes with 1 i' usable and 10' paved shoulders (12' paved adjacent to guardrail). The minimum right of way width will be 40' (existing) and the maximum will be 250'. The amount of permanent right of way to be acquired for the proposed project is 1.6 acres. Approximately 0. 16 acres of temporary right of way will be needed for drive construction. Survey limits along Locust Road will extend from 1000' north to 1150' south of the existing structure, along the existing roadway centerline. Along US 20, the survey limits will extend from 675' west to 675' east of the existing structure. Traffic on Locust Road will be maintained by using a detour that utilizes local roads. The detour route will follow Ireland Road, Linden Road and Ewing Avenue. Traffic on US 20 will be maintained by using at a minimum one lane of traffic in each direction. Per FHWA's request, we are seeking input from historical consulting parties prior to establishing a final determination of effect. The St. Joseph County Interim Report of the Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Inventory was referenced and within the proposed project area, there are no sites either listed on, considered eligible for, or being considered for eligibility on the National Register of Historic places. Furthermore, the structure is not listed in Dr. Cooper's Artistry and ingenuity in Artificial Stone, Indiana's Concrete Bridges, 1900 - 1942. At this time, INDOT has determined that there will be no historic properties affected. The recommended APE includes the proposed right-of-way and the area immediately surrounding it. This correspondence is being forwarded to the following historical consulting parties for confirmation of the above determination: State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana, St. Joseph County Historian, South Bend Heritage Foundation, Inc., Downtown South Bend, Inc., and Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County. Archaeology will be performed and forwarded to SHPO for concurrence. Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act requires Federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties. In accordance with 36CFR800.2(c), you are hereby requested to be a consulting party to participate in efforts to identify historic properties potentially affected by the undertaking, assess its effects and seek ways to avoid, minimize or mitigate any adverse effects on historic properties. Per 36CFR800.3(f), we hereby request that the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) notify this office, within 30 days of the receipt of this letter, under separate cover, if the SHPO is aware of other parties that may be entitled to be consulting parties for the subject project. Please respond with your comments on any environmental impacts associated with this project. If we do not receive a response within sixty days, it will be assumed that your agency feels that there will be no adverse effects incurred as a result of the proposed project. Should you fmd that an extension to the response time is necessary, a reasonable amount will be granted upon request. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact Michelle Barrier, of this section, at (317) 232-5135. Thank you in advance for your input. James E.

CHARLES F. FARRELL, P.E. ADIN M. MCCANN. P.E. MICHAEL J. GUZIK, P.E. We are writing to initiate the Early Coordination of a transportation project being planned in St. Joseph County, Indiana. The proposed project will widen and improve the existing McKinley Highway corridor in St. Joseph County, Indiana from 610 feet east of Bittersweet Road to 600 feet east of Birch Road. The project is currently in the design phase. The proposed road improvements project is a Local Public Agency (LPA) Project. As such, a portion of the project will be Federally funded. As a result of the Federal involvement, the project is required by law to adhere to the guidelines contained in the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), as well as the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act requires Federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic. properties. In accordance with 36 CFR 800.2(c), you are hereby requested to be a consulting party to participate in the Section 106 process. This process involves efforts to identify historic properties potentially affected by the undertaking, assess its effects and seek ways to avoid, minimize or mitigate any adverse effects on historic properties. There are two alternatives being developed for the proposed project. Alternative A consists of adding two travel lanes and a continuous two-way left -turn lane utilizing the existing alignment. Alternative B is the "Do Nothing" alternative. Alternative A is our preferred alternative. We ask you to look at the developed alternatives and evaluate Alternative A as the proposed final alternative. The preliminary Area of Potential Effects (APE) for Alternative A has been determined to be all parcels immediately adjacent to the proposed project. It is important to note that the preliminary APE has been developed without comment from the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) and the Section 106 consulting parties. As the project continues to advance, coordination with the SHPO and the Section 106 consulting parties will take place to firmly establish the APE for the proposed project.

JULIE SCHUTTE: (See staff report attached to C of A). The homeowner, Cecilia Cunningham, was present. CECELIA CUNNINGHAM: Mrs. Cunningham briefly described to commission members what her proposed plans are for said property. (See application items and recommendations listed in C of A, and also pictures attached to C of A). CECELIA LAWRENCE: My first choice is to extend the existing fence with a matching fence. CATHERINE HOSTETLER: I move that we accept option 1 on C of A 2004-0501-1. JOANN SPORLEDER: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. 2. 2004-0501-2; 830 N. Michigan Street, North Pumping Station in Leeper Park; install 9' black vinyl chain link gate. JULIE SCHUTTE: Read attached staff report. John Oxian spoke on behalf South Bend Water Works. John Oxian informed commission members about the type of gate the North Pumping Station was considering installing, the location of the gate, and the reasons for its installation. The commission members discussed the standards that refer to Leeper Park possible negative impacts to the park's views and vistas that such a gate would disturb. JOANN SPORLEDER: I move that we accept application 2004-0501-2 for a gate, not chain link, and one that is architecturally suited to the North Pumping Station. CATHERINE HOSTETLER: Seconds the motion and passes. John Oxian abstains. Joann Sporleder amends her earlier motion to include that the Commission will review possible gates for final approval at next month's meeting. GERALD UJDAK: Seconds the motion and it passes. John Oxian abstains. 3. 2004-0507; Monroe School, 312 E. Donmoyer Avenue, South Bend; clean masonry walls and seal; clean stone wall, repoint masonry joints, paint limestone, replace bricks and damaged limestone. JULIE SCHUTTE: (See staff report attached to C of A and enclosed school drawings in meeting packet). LYNN PATRICK: If 300 psi is the maximum pressure for washing the masonry, then what would be the actual psi used to wash the masonry? GEORGE WEBER: (An architect with Forum Architects, LLC). I was just looking through our specifications for the last time we did this project and I don't actually see a range that we had given for high-pressure washing. If I remember correctly it was done more with a brush last time than with a high-pressure washer. So, I would anticipate that the majority of the masonry would be done more with the brush. I don't see a problem with using the natural fiber brushes that the staff recommended. Unfortunately, we knew that when the bids came in we didn't probably have enough money to do the entire facility. The work that was done at that point on the 1932 building was the west elevation and the north elevation and a portion of the east elevation. If you go out there and look at what was done in 1999, all of that to the greatest extent by the cleaning processing and the grinding out of these existing joints, restores the joint size back to its original size. New mortar was put in place to replace the mortar that was ground out. The re -pointing is intended for the rest of the masonry. It is also intended that any brick deteriorated, sprawled, or cracked brick will be replaced. 2 In addition to this, the limestone itself will be cleaned of all the loose particles of the previous coatings that were put on there before it was recoated. Any limestone that is currently damaged, cracked or deteriorated, would either be replaced if it is beyond repair or be patched and repaired with a product such as Jahn's limestone mortar repair or masonry repair. When we did work on the first 1999 addition, we actually ended up using a different type of cleaner. I talked with Julie and she asked me to bring those specifications in. We ended up using a restoration cleaner by Sure Clean. Most of the dirt from the brick came off fairly easy the first time through. There are some areas of the building; the chimney, for instance is in really bad shape. There were some emergency repairs made over the winter because of water infiltration getting into the building up along the parapet above the east and west side of the 1952 addition. Those would be redone now as part of this process. So when it is all said and done, the entire building will end up looking just like what you see on the north and west elevations as it currently sits out there now. LYNN PATRICK: What role did the previous tuck -pointing and coating play in the current efflorescence that I see in these photos? What will happen to those areas? GEORGE WEBER: Actually those areas are also going to be re -pointed. JOANN SPORLEDER: On application 2004-0507, Monroe School, 312 E. Donmoyer Avenue, I move that the tuck -pointing, repair and/or replacement of the cracked and spalled brick and limestone, and the cleaning of the masonry be approved; with the caveat that we will get for final approval, the actual specifications, with the recommendations that have been made by staff. CATHERINE HOSTETLER: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. 4. 2004-0510; 702 W. Colfax, Fredrickson House, construction of new garage, remove portions of drive and parking pad, install fence. JULIE SCHUTTE: (See staff report attached to C of A). The homeowner, Mrs. Cindy Lewis was present. CINDY LEWIS: Mrs. Lewis briefly described to commission members what her proposed plans are for said property. (See application items and recommendations listed in C of A, and also pictures and drawings attached to C of A). JOANN SPORLEDER: What part of the driveway are you planning on taking out? CINDY LEWIS: One of our neighbors who has a landscaping business suggested that a really nice way to soften the driveway is to cut a small portion out of the center and plant perennials there. This would help it look more like a residence instead of a business. JOHN OXIAN: Does this fence, (refer to picture), back here go all the way across the property? CINDY LEWIS: Yes, it does. 3 JOHN OXIAN: So then you are going to have to cut a section of the fence out to put your garage in CINDY LEWIS: No, we actually have enough room there. There is a big huge tree that swings out, and we are so grateful that we don't have to remove that tree; but, because that tree is there we're probably going to go up to about three or four feet away from the tree. We will swing into the garage from the east. The garage doors will be facing that proposed fence. MARTHA CHOITZ: On application 2004-0510-1, the Fredrickson House, I move to approve all of the application items and the addition of trim detail to the garage at the owner's option. CATHERINE HOSTETLER: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. Julie Schutte asked that Heidi Cintron, who lives at 215 Hammond Place, and her father, who lives 215 %z Hammond Place, be allowed to speak before the commission about the plans they have to replace the front porch at 215 Hammond Place. John Oxian asked the commission as a whole if they would agree to hear these two individuals, even though they were not listed on the agenda. The commission agreed to hear what they had to say. A brief discussion was held between commission members, Heidi Cintron, and her father, regarding the proposed plans they have for replacing the front porch. Commission members informed Heidi Cintron and her father that they would need to submit more specific documentation, including drawings, construction method, and a list of the materials to be use= for the project. Martha Choitz suggested they could review other porches in the River Bend district for ideas of appropriate changes. B. Local Landmark, First Reading 1. Marquette School, 1815 Hamilton, South Bend, Indiana, PWA school. John Oxian requested Julie Schutte to send a letter to the School Corporation regarding Marquette School. III. REGULAR BUSINESS A. APPROVAL OF MINUTES March 15, 2004 (April 19, 2004 not completed) MARTHA CHOITZ: I move to accept the minutes for March 15, 2004. LYNN PATRICK: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. B. TREASURER'S REPORT n (Nothing to report at this time) C. COMMITTEE REPORT 1. Standards and Maintenance Committee Report Martha gave a report that Standards and Maintenance had met with the owner of 322 W. Marion and had approved the repairs to the main roof (tear off and replace in-kind, roof materials, and soffits) and in-kind repairs to the porch foundations. The Standards and Maintenance Committee also approved half -round gutter with downspouts to be placed at the rear of the property. 2. Southhold Awards Committee Re -cap LYNN PATRICK: We had our Southhold Awards ceremony as planned. We many people attend, but hope to reach a larger audience next year. We plan next year to send our invitations earlier and to work for a better attendance. Our speaker, Glory -June Grieff gave a wonderful lecture about the county's important PWA resources: park sites, schools, and other structures. The Studebaker Museum was very nice and so were the displays. The food was not as good as Tippecanoe Place, so we will probably search for another caterer. Other than that it was a very nice event. D. STAFF REPORTS 1. Results of zoning hearing for 416 W. LaSalle, April 24, 3:30 P.M JULIE SCHUTTE: The rezoning board sent an unfavorable recommendation for the rezoning of 416 W. LaSalle from Mixed Used to Light Industrial. This proposal was also opposed by nearby landmark owners and other neighborhood groups. 2. St. Stephen's Church & school; other W. Washington significant buildings. JULIE SCHUTTE: Will give further report on West Washington at a later date. 3. Brick Street Workshop, Fort Wayne, Indiana JULIE SCHUTTE: Wayne and I attended a brick street repair workshop in Fort Wayne. It was very informative. Royce Baier, of Paxton, Illinois, has completed several brick street repairs. He presented a lecturer and supervised the hands-on workshop. He showed that brick streets are feasible to repair and they are economically viable as the maintenance retains the streets for another eighty years. Hopefully, similar workshops or actual projects could come to South Benda There was also mention of grant opportunities that other cities have received. Indianapolis received a grant from the Federal Highway Administration to restore several of their brick streets. Up to eighty percent federal and up to twenty percent local matching grant. Most of local portion of the grant is the supply of materials -- the salvage brick. 4. Correspondence: Leeper Bridge C of A extension 5 JULIE SCHUTTE: I received an email from a representative of INDOT regarding the Leeper Bridge. Due to problems with the acquisition of the right-of-way, INDOT has pushed back the starting date and the completion date of the bridge repair. They are not changing any of the specifications. They would just like an extension until 2005 or 2006 for the previously issued CofA. 5. Legal Report: Oliver Plow Forge #2 Memorandum of Agreement. JOHN OXIAN: I signed the memorandum of agreement. John Livingston talked to the individual from the Oliver Gang. I also talked with Andy before I signed the memorandum of agreement. We talked about another building they might want to be interested in and I am supposed to call them back on that. IV. OLD BUSINESS 1. Eddy Street Road improvement Project, progress and request of opinion. JULIE SCHUTTE: I received correspondence from The Troyer Group regarding the Eddy Street improvement Project for intersections at Eddy, Colfax, and LaSalle. They have been able to shift the roadway so that 1028 a contributing resource from the East Washington National Register District would not need to be removed. They request an opinion or a final vote from the historic preservation commission about the widening project and its effect on neighboring structures. 2. St. Casimir NRD & Dunham Street Improvement Project—meeting TBA. MIKE DIVITA: I am with the city's division of community development. We will have a public works project coming up on Dunham Street; which is in St. Casimir neighborhood. We just completed some specifications for street improvements. I wanted to give you some background information and quick overview of the project. In terms of the public works project, (passed around a set of plans for commission members to review), is on Dunham Street from Kosciuszko to Walnut, which is a two block area. What you see here, (refer to set of plans), is primarily the curb and sidewalk project. We will remove and replace the curb, the sidewalk, both the city sidewalk and the service walk, between the curb and the city sidewalk, and also renew the driveway approaches within the city's right-of-way. Also as part of the project we will do some tree -lawn restoration, add trees, and correct drainage and street issues, although some of those are outside of the scope of what we do; again it is primarily for curb and sidewalk project. The work is projected to be all within the city's right -of way. The major changes you would see are more trees; service walks and approaches that probably go to vacant lots will be removed. I also want to point out a few things: any brick disturbed in the area will be replaced as it is now using the same brick. The eastern most block between Walnut and Harris is a brick paved street that has not been covered with asphalt. As part of this project, there will not be any changes to lighting or utility poles. 0 JOHN OXIAN: I would recommend that when you do anything on these houses, or you get down into specifics, that you first go to Gerald Ujdak, who is assigned to that, and meet with Julie Schutte. 3. Landmark plaque arrival. Julie Schutte informed the commission that a few weeks ago the landmark plaques arrived. She brought examples of the plaques, and all agreed that they were very nice indeed. V. NEW BUSINESS 1. McKinley Highway Improvement & Locust Road Projects; 106 review; opinion. JULIE SCHUTTE: We received some correspondence from Lawson -Fisher Associates, regarding the McKinley Highway Corridor Improvements Project. Currently it is a two-lane roadway and they would like to expand it into a four lane road with two travel lanes and a continuous two-way left—turn lane. Staff has not done too much research into the area and staff would like some guidance as to where the cut off would be from Mishawaka since Historic Preservation's first description of the highway JOHN OXIAN: You would start at the city limits: There isn't much on McKinley. They have already made some areas into a four -lane road. JULIE SCHUTTE: There is also information about a US 20 bridge replacement over Locust Road. The bridge is a twentieth century concrete overpass bridge. The engineers do not foresee any threat to important nearby structures. 2. Commission member training and scholarship opportunities. Scholarships are available for commission member training. Contact Steve Kennedy, (DPHA) VII. ANNOUNCEMENTS & MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS, (Nothing to report) VIII. ADJOURNMENT MARY JANE CHASE: I will make a motion to adjourn the meeting. LYNN PATRICK: Seconds the motion. Meeting ended at 10:10. 0
