Side windows also display Arts and Crafts characteristics. It has an enclosed brick front porch and is aluminum sided. The house is thought to have been built by Lathrop Taylor and owned by his daughter Mary Taylor Nicar's husband. APPLICATION ITEMS: The owner wishes to remove the 8 -inch aluminum siding and to reside the house with double 4 inch vinyl siding resembling clapboard. The peaks will be sided with half round vinyl to resemble a Victorian and to resemble some of the other homes near by. The overhangs will also be enclosed using vinyl soffit and aluminum fascia. The Wolverine Siding Systems Products will be used. P&R Construction, Contractors. RECOMMENDATION:. This is an owner occupied home in Taylor's Field that is currently not rated. The removal of the 8 -inch white aluminum is good; the re -siding with 4 -inch vinyl to resemble a Victorian is not so good because the house really isn't a Victorian. Since this project is in a Rehabilitation district in a very challenging area being proposed by a resident homeowner, staff recommends approval but only if the replacement siding replicates any architectural features uncovered and the owner understands that the Wolverine Lifetime warranty does not cover discoloration of the product except under very limited circumstances and at Wolverine's sole discretion. Also the wide decorative wooden fascia boards should not be covered, original doors and trim and windows and trim are to be maintained; and any original trim uncovered when the aluminum siding is removed is to be retained. -Atl! low �4 OL FP ior N(YrLOMPLETEAKY ENTRIES CONTAINED UqTHISDOA�FFTCE ME ONLY Dale Renlved CtA.4 ZS 2005 Put Reviews: ❑ YES (anarurunrn StaffApproval suthorired by: Appllcallou Number 2005- O 8 2..SA ❑ NO Title; Historic Corembdon Revlcw Date ?11912 0o,5 ❑ !Heal Landmark ❑ National Landmark ❑ Natlnnal Rlgilter Dl,u-id .., 19/I.ocal Historic Dlnho �t: lJa�,Q-s-lnf%� J O Certlflrale o/ Appropdaleneu: ❑ Application U B -for- ° Certificate of Appropriateness ❑ Approved and issued Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend & St. Joseph County • 125 South Lafayette Boulevard teas Mailing address: 227 West Jefferson Blvd - South Bend IN 46601-1830 Phone: 219-235-9798 Pax: 219-2754578 e-m2l: We W4:hnpJMww.etJwephraearrledWl.ttohJchMLdnbtM A Certified Local Government N(YrLOMPLETEAKY ENTRIES CONTAINED UqTHISDOA�FFTCE ME ONLY Dale Renlved CtA.4 ZS 2005 Put Reviews: ❑ YES (anarurunrn StaffApproval suthorired by: Appllcallou Number 2005- O 8 2..SA ❑ NO Title; Historic Corembdon Revlcw Date ?11912 0o,5 ❑ !Heal Landmark ❑ National Landmark ❑ Natlnnal Rlgilter Dl,u-id .., 19/I.ocal Historic Dlnho �t: lJa�,Q-s-lnf%� J O Certlflrale o/ Appropdaleneu: ❑ Dented ❑ Tabled ❑ Sent To Committee ❑ Approved and issued 2005 Address of Property for proposed work: S I / (.l4!?AR(lI<! tel+ City{�/ � _ Owner's Phone N�Io:(� 2 S -7 - 76 -7 Name of Property Owner(s):maom l� E N >� J9IV I) 5 RSOrI> Address of Property Owner : St % C A Contractor(s)Name: P14 IL PAVEY Contract Company Name: P � R rods -TR tjGz IO Contractor Address: 8/°] A/19N11RS7" AVE.

They had long been problematic for the neighborhood. APPLICATION ITEMS: "Pocket Park" at the comer of Lafayette and Lamont Terrace (see attached landscape plan) RECOMMENDATION Chanin Park Guidelines & Standards: I. Environment. Recommended. Vacant lots should be kept landscaped appropriately while vacant, and may be used for recreational or residential development (page 16). New site work should also be appropriate to existing surrounding site elements in scale, type, and appearance (page 16). The proposal for the Pocket Park follows the Chapin Park rehabilitation standards for vacant lots and general landscaping standards. The landscaping elements (trees, shrubs, terracing materials, paving material, benches) are well scaled to the lot, the neighborhood, and the nearby parklands. The design is reminiscent of informal English gardens, which should compliment the Colonial Revival home just to the west of the proposed park. The terracing will protect the adjacent property from erosion. The proposed walls will obscure the existing rough concrete block retaining wall. The limestone wall or the boulder wall would be much more appropriate to the district than the Pisa II block system, especially when viewing other terracing in the district. (See the walls at 407 Lamont Terrace.) The plan also calls for two benches and bollard lighting, which are well scaled and appropriate to the park and area. Staff finds the proposal to be compatible with the district's standards and guidelines and recommends approval with the exception of the Pisa II block system.

(574)232-9182 Sep 09 05 12:32p Near NW Neighborhood Inc (219)232-1171 p,2 905 La?rryette The Near Northwest Neighborhood, Inc. in collaboration with area residents has designed a garden intended to be a gai eway to the neighborhood, an addition to Leeper Park, and an asset to the community. Beginning in the spring of 2005, the NNN began working with five neighborhood architects to survey the land and generate ideas of what might feasibly be installed in the spot where once a derelict strvcat-e had been. Neighborhood input was sought through three visioning sessions where tli-as flowed and the suggestions were made as to the configuration and design of a space the: would respect the historic charm of the neighborhood while accenting the already presont Leeper Park. The final plan tries to incorporate a number of those ideas. Central themes to the overall design of the plar ;ncluded simplicity, use of natural materials, and minimal annual upkeep. Another importer t consideration was the adjoining neighbors' concern that the loss of the derelict structure, the removal of which they supported, left them exposed to public view in a way that they had not experienced before and did not enjoy. Included in the design are a few seating area, phi -es to pause and catch one's breath but not necessarily areas that encourage large gathertn,;; or excessive lingering. On the Southern end where the lot abuts LaMante Terrace a burm with perennial plantings will be installed to add height to the landscape. This will offer the neighbors the protection they desire and will also p-ovide visual separation between LaMonte and the park. On the Western edge of the park there is an existing retaining wall that appears to be in great disrepair but which is not owned by the NNN trid thus could not be included in the plans. To minimize the appearance of the wall and to creat..- visual interest, a three-level terrace will be added. This will be bordered by stacked stone :filled with perennial plantings, and cascade east towards the Leeper Park. On Northern poi ni of the park, several large white pine trees and a grass burm will be added. This is again mended to provide a visual barrier for the neighbors on LaMont Ten -ace. The Eastern edge: of the park is the simplest. It is primarily grass and has two large shade trees. Cutting thraugh the park diagonally from Lamont Terrace on the South to Lafayette on the East, k. a brick -lined curved walk for those who are going from the neighborhood to Leeper Park.

Jamison, Don Sporleder I. CALLED MEETING TO ORDER Lynn Patrick called the meeting to order at 7:37 pm. There was a moment of silence for Mr. John Livingston who recently passed away in a tragic car crash in Pennsylvania. He served this commission very well and was very close to all of us. LYNN PATRICK: I would like to move that the third reading for 16977 Adams landmark 1880 barn be moved ahead on the meeting agenda. It is my understanding that the person involved with this has to get back to work. MARTHA CHOITZ: I so move. MARY JANE CHASE: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. TIM JANOWIAK: I live at 16930 Adams Road. There is a Civil War era barn at 16977 Adams Road. Unfortunately, the people that previously owned it had to sell it about five years ago because of health conditions. They moved to Texas with their daughter. When the previous owners sold the property they talked to a realtor by the name of James Sieradzki, who owns Century Builders. He told them at that time that he was planning on keeping the barn. The commission did a study on this property about ten years ago and it states right on the report that he made this statement; but, that's not legally binding. The previous owners told all of the neighbors that the barn was going to stay and that was their assumption when sold it. We have been out talking to people and we have gotten an overwhelming response. I would say that we have just a hair under 650 signatures on a petition and that's just since last Friday. We have letters coming in from as far away as Alaska, Oregon, Washington, and Texas. All of the people who knew this barn and lived near this barn want to help support it and do whatever they can. The barn was built about 1865. It was built with hand-hewn beams held together with wooden pegs. The nails were all hand made and have square heads. We did get an interim protection on this bam; but, that's running out quickly and we haven't gotten any response back from the developer or his attorney; so I am at a loss as to what to do. I would like to try and save the whole farm. The original clapboard siding is still on the house. It has windows that you can hardly see out of because they are so old. Mr. Oxian rated it many years ago when he went through and looked at it. He stated in his report that the house was worth- while in historic value except for the aluminum siding that was on the house. He rated the bam as outstanding and was in excellent condition. It has integrity and has not been altered. The historical context statement of significance stated that the barn was significant for its integrity and style and its association to agriculture and architecture. The house on the property is older then the barn and has aluminum siding on it. It has six over six light paneled windows, a rubble stone foundation, a cellar, and other features that would particularly contribute to the historic character of the property. On the bottom of the report it states that the property is to be sold and the owners will vacate the property by May of next year. The new owner plans to use and rehabilitate or restore the barn. Mr. Sieradzki has not done anything to the barn. There are sumac trees growing up around it and it is rough looking. There is one beam inside that needs to be restored. I have talked to several individuals who have volunteered to help restore the bam. I have also located materials from another old barn in Elkhart that we can use to help restore this barn as well. I even talked to an organization called'Bam Again", who stated that there are federal grants available for this kind of project. The barn does not need a lot of work so I do not know if we would qualify for this grant. Mr. Janowiak brought in the following items for the commission: 1. A drawing of what the barn presently looks like. 2. Pictures of other old barns located in development areas. 3. A petition with names of individuals who support restoring and saving the barn. He also gave HPC permission to make copies of the information he presently has on this bam. He also agreed to write up a list of those individuals and organizations that would be willing to help support and save the bam. MARY JANE CHASE: When Mr. Sieradzki bought the property from the original owner; did he at that time buy the property as a developer or a real estate person? TIM JANOWIAK: He did inform them that he was a professional developer; but at that time he stated that he wanted to purchase the property so that he could build his own home and save the barn for his horses for his children. JOHN OXIAN: I would like to propose as Chairman of the Landmarks Committee, that we not only go for the barn; but, if we go down to the county council that we also take in the house and we take in the proposed lot that he's bringing up before Area Plan. It is going to be very difficult in my opinion to go in, the way he is subdividing, just for a barn when you're not going to try to save the house or anything else that fits into the whole environment. So what I would suggest and also from listening to the meeting we had, in which I proposed at that time that we go in for the whole thing. TIM JANOWIAK: I have also approached Mr. Sieradzki and his attorney and have offered to buy the lot and I can't get a response from them. I would like to buy the lot and restore it and have it put on the historic landmarks list and go from there. You can drive around and see barns that are right in the middle of beautiful developments and what's more American than an old farm or barn. We don't plan on trying to stop Mr. Sieradzki from building his development; because, we can't stop progress. All I would like to do is buy one lot from him, develop it, and if not; then at least get the area saved some how. DIANE WROBEL-ILLES: If we wanted to have a tour of the barn, who would we have to talk to? TIM JANOWIAK: You should talk to Mr. Sieradzki or Mr. Hardig, who is their attorney. Lynn Patrick suggested that maybe they could put together a tour for those commissioners that haven't been through the barn or through the area with permission from the present property owner. JOHN OXIAN: I want to make a motion that we send the whole plot as based on his development plan down to the county council for land marking. DIANE WROBEL-ILLES: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. II. PUBLIC HEARING A. CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS 1. 2005-0801; Portage Corridor/East Navarre Intersection Chapin Park Local Historic District/NR CATHERINE HOSTETLER: (See staff report, drawing, and picture attached to C of A in HPC meeting binder). Karen Ainsley, NNN, Carl Littrell, Engineering Department, Elizabeth (Liz) Maradik, South Bend Community Development were present. KAREN AINSLEY: You probably have noticed already on Portage that we have done some streetscape improvements. You may have also seen some more going on around King Street and then again at the Allen and Humboldt intersection. This is part of a beautification project that is going on to try and add some greenery to areas and also calm traffic and hopefully keep things a little more pedestrian friendly so it is safer for folks. MARY JANE CHASE: Will there be any traffic signs like yield, stop, etc? CARL LITTRELL: The intersection is currently marked with a yield sign for the Navarre traffic. That would be replaced by a stop sign for Navarre traffic. JOHN OXIAN: I will make a motion that the C of A for this project be approved as presented. MARY JANE CHASE: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. 2. 2005-0804; 934 Riverside Drive, Riverside Drive LHD JULIE SCHUTTE: (See staff report and pictures attached to C of A in HPC meeting binder). Homeowner, Darcy O'Blenis was present. (Some parts of this original C of A have already been approved. We will be addressing other parts of this C of A that have not been approved.) DARCY O'BLENIS: Just this afternoon I received a copy of the engineer's drawings for the new roof including the dormer which will be an addition. (Mrs. O'Blenis passed out architectural drawings for commission members to look over). I am very fortunate to be in an historic district; because, the house was built so well. I want to make sure the builder uses materials in kind so that we can maintain the integrity of the home. Even though they are already aware of this fact; I still appreciate that I have got somebody at my side to help us and guide us through this. In addition we have hired a company through State Farm Insurance; who is also very interested in making sure we do everything right. I wondered if you would look over the pamphlet that they gave me to see if this type of door would be appropriate for our home. (Mrs. O'Blenis passed out a colored pamphlet with doors for commission members to look over). JOHN OXIAN: Was this an original door? DARCY O'BLENIS: We have no idea if it was or not. JOHN OXIAN: I would recommend a door that would match an original door on a four square style house; which would either be one with horizontal panels, or one with two vertical panels on the top and one horizontal panel on the bottom. I have a four square house and that's what my doors look like. That is usually the door you get; even if it is a back door. MARTHA CHOITZ: What is the age of it? DARCY O'BLENIS: I believe it is right at the turn of the century; 1903. JOHN OXIAN: Then none of these doors in this pamphlet would match. They are all modern styled doors. What size is your door? Is it a 32 inch or 36 inch door? DARCY O'BLENIS: I am not sure; I think it is a 32 inch door. JOHN OXIAN: If you are going to do this type of restoring then what you want to do is put in a back a door that fits in with what you are doing with the house. DARCY O'BLENIS: What should we do about our windows? JULIE SCHUTTE: Have you spoken to Wayne Doolittle? He mentioned that he was going to drop off some information to you about a man who actually builds new wooden windows and has done a few other projects in the area. His name is Steve Schoberg. He is presenting a workshop on August 27`h in conjunction with Historic Landmarks and HPC in the five hundred block of West LaSalle from 1:00 to 5:00 pm. JOHN OXIAN: You and the staff mentioned earlier that there were storm windows present in the back of the house at the time of the fire. What type of storm windows were they? DARCY O'BLENIS: Most of them were wooden storm windows. There was one storm window on the back bedroom that was an aluminum framed stormed window. We plan to put wooden storm windows back in. JOHN OXIAN: If that is what you are planning on doing then it should be stated in the C of A that wooden storm windows were present at the time of the fire and will be replaced with new wooden storm windows. JULIE SCHUTTE: The other option for new windows would be Marvin windows. They are all custom-made to fit. They do not make stock wood windows so you can get them in various sizes. DARCY O'BLENIS: We did have a deck that was approved years ago that my husband had added on. The deck will need to be replaced because that is where the fire originated from. Do we need to come back in for that? LYNN PATRICK: That would be staff approved. JOHN OXIAN: I will make a motion that the C of A be approved as recommended by staff with the addition that the storm windows that were present at the time of the fire will be replaced with new wooden storm windows including the one aluminum storm window. The kitchen door will be a type that will be appropriate for a four square style house and will be either vertical or horizontal paneled on the bottom half of the door. MARTHA CHOITZ: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. CATHERINE HOSTETLER: We have a C of A that is not on the agenda and I apologize for this. It was done in July 1 I'h'for 801 East Bronson. The homeowners want 0 to install a new chain link fence on the side of their house. We have a drawing of it. Staff didn't have any objections to it. It is going to look fine along the side of the house. LYNN PATRICK: What is presently there now? CATHERINE HOSTETLER: There is nothing there right now. They would like to put the fence along the north side of their house. Homeowners, Ken and Nona Morse were present. KEN MORSE: The real reason we are doing this is that our house was built in the 1880's and the windows are really low to the ground and it is really easy to get into them. People go through our yard because the alley comes in back there and they use it as a short cut. We're really doing it for security reasons if nothing else. We have a fence now that goes from the garage to the back of the house; which is a wooden fence. We would like to put in a whole new chain link fence from the garage up to almost the front of the house so those windows would be more secure. LYNN PATRICK: You didn't bring any photos with you, did you? KEN MORSE: No, we didn't. We just drew a diagram to show where we want to put the fence. LYNN PATRICK: Have you asked your neighbors if they have any problem with this fence? KEN MORSE: No, we have not. LYNN PATRICK: Who are the neighbors on each side of you? KEN MORSE: To the right of us is a rental property that Ron Farr owns and then on the left is an alley and a vacant lot. JOHN OXIAN: Is the fence going to come up to right behind the front porch? KEN MORSE: Yes. LYNN PATRICK: How tall is the fence going to be? KEN MORSE: A standard four -foot chain link fence. The fence will actually be sixty- four feet long. LYNN PATRICK: I know we have had instances in the past where we have had neighbors weighed in and send a note in letting us know if they have a problem with what their neighbor is proposing to have done. Do you think the Farr's would have any problems with this fence since it is going to directly impact their rental house possibly? KEN MORSE: Quite frankly he has a problem with me all the time so he probably would. They would still have access to their property I am not going to be blocking anything off. There just has never been a fence there before. Mr. Farr currently has an illegal fence right now on that property. You, (HPC), okayed a fence for him that was not supposed to be installed in cement and he went ahead and installed it in cement anyway. Now it is a mess over there. If you go back and look at the fence it is lying down on the ground and it has been run over. He put the fence up on city property. The fence is sitting on a vacant lot that he wants to build a house on; which is on the other side of the alley where we live. JOHN OXIAN: If this is the case then we should send our inspector, Wayne Doolittle, out to check this out because he is violating a C of A. That is proper procedure because violations like that, whether it is Ron Farr or anybody else, should be stopped or the fence removed and put back in the proper way. I would recommend that Wayne Doolittle go out and check on this and then the proper letter be sent to Ron Farr informing him that he either does the work the proper way or we will make him remove the fence. LYNN PATRICK: Well, if we're going to do that then I would like the inspector to go and take a picture of this; and I would also like the opportunity to go by and take a look at this. CATHERINE HOSTETLER: The city has already been working on this issue. They have said until that alley becomes a public access and not just a private access they won't have anything to do with it. I really don't see how the fence on the Farr's property impacts our approval of the fence on this property. JOHN OXIAN: I will make a motion that this fence be constructed as presented in the C of A; and that before it is installed that our president, Lynn Patrick, have the right to see for herself what will be transpiring there. If she has a major objection then I would like to have it reconsidered. DIANE WROBEL-ILLES: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. LYNN PATRICK: I would also like it understood that in the interest of neighborly relations; I would like to advise Mr. and Mrs. Farr about this fence going up and the reason why, mainly for security, so that they will be aware of this prior to the fence being installed. B. LANDMARK 1. Third Reading; 16977 Adams Landmark 1880 Barn Report from the Landmarks Committee Chair (This item was moved to the beginning of the meeting agenda). III. REGULAR BUSINESS A. APPROVAL OF MINUTES — July 18, 2005 MARTHA CHOITZ: I move that the minutes for July 18, 2005 be approved as presented. DIANE WROBEL-ILLES: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. John Oxian abstains. B. TREASURER'S REPORT JOHN OXIAN: (See green copy of Treasurer's Report in HPC meeting binder). If you have any questions about any of these amounts then let me know and I will get with Catherine and we can answer your questions at our next monthly meeting. C. COMMITTEE REPORTS 1. President's Report LYNN PATRICK: We had to cancel our August 15` meeting due to the death of attorney, Mr. John Livingston. This meeting will need to be rescheduled. I will get with Catherine on this. (The canceled meeting was in regards to Southold). CATHERINE HOSTETLER: We have already secured a venue for next year's Southold Awards Dinner. We also sent in a deposit along with the signed contract. The dinner will be held on April 29, 2006; which will be a Saturday morning. (Southold committee members agreed to coordinate with each other by email to schedule a meeting date and time to discuss this matter further). LYNN PATRICK: I also wanted to report that I went to the porch repair workshop on Saturday, August 13`", in Mishawaka. There was a nice little crowd of about fifteen people. We got hands on experience working with the epoxy and the two-part Abatron. It was very interesting. D. STAFF REPORTS 1. C of A Approvals; Correspondence A. Director's Report CATHERINE HOSTETLER: Briefly went through the Director's Report with commission members. (See cream copy of Director's Report attached to HPC meeting binder). B. Assistant Director's Report JULIE SCHUTTE: Briefly went through the Assistant Director's Report with commission members. (See orange copy of Assistant Director's Report attached to HPC meeting binder). 2. Legal Chuck Leone said that the legal department will be supportive of the HPC by hiring a new attorney to fill Mr. John Livingston's place. Our next HPC meeting will be covered by Aladean DeRose. IV. OLD BUSINESS 1. Chapin Park Standards and Guidelines CATHERINE HOSTETLER: I have already given Chris Manley until Christmas to get the Chapin Park Booklets done. We also have Bev Petersen on board to help us get the rest of the histories on those one hundred and seventy-one houses that still need to be documented. We should have those within the next couple of months along with everything else that we need to get this published by year's end. We also plan to have another meeting regarding the suggested changes that were made by commission members on this. 2. 13546 Brick Local Landmark/AEP CATHERINE HOSTETLER: We have touched base with AEP. Sylvia, who has been our contact person, is not due back from her holiday until later this week. I put in a phone call to her immediate supervisor that wasn't returned. As far as we know nothing has been done about the trees being cut down in front of that landmark. They do not want to trim the trees; they want to completely cut them down because of the wires. These trees are the only buffer that this landmark has from the traffic on that road. The trees block the house; which may be something the homeowners might not mind because they are right on the road. If they cut these trees down then they will be completely exposed to traffic. We have not received any comments back from the homeowners yet. We have tried calling them and we also sent them a regular postal letter as well. We still have not received any word from the homeowners yet. We are going to try and send them a registered letter and see if we get a response from them. AEP will not proceed with anything on this until they receive a C of A from us. JOHN OXIAN: We received an answer back from Abe Marcus, (Ivy Tower Corporation), regarding the Studebaker Carpenter Building. I thought that sending him a letter would be more official and legal than just calling him. (Copy of John's letter was passed out to commission members). I am very satisfied with the response I received back from him. LYNN PATRICK: When are you planning on doing this? JOHN OXIAN: I talked to Tim Janowiak about this and I will get a hold of Bob Yapp to see if he wants to get together and then I will proceed from there. LYNN PATRICK: How does that indemnity agreement operate? 7 CHUCK LEONE: We use this in the legal department sometimes for people who want to enter city buildings. There are folks who go into these buildings who don't have any relationship to the city. When this happens we want to make sure that they know that these buildings are essentially dangerous places and they are going in at their own risk. We as a city are not responsible for that. John Oxian asked Chuck Leone who would be responsible for putting the indemnity agreement together. Chuck Leone said that it would be better if the legal department put one together. John Oxian then asked Chuck Leone if he would be willing to put together an indemnity agreement for them. Chuck Leone stated that he would be willing to do so. The indemnity agreement includes the following parties: Studebaker Michiana Chapter members, Bob Yapp, HPC members. V. NEW BUSINESS CATHERINE HOSTETLER: I have passed out a copy which lists the events and workshops for HPC members for the months of August, September, and October. We have also received nomination forms for the Servaas Memorial Award through Historic Landmarks Foundation and also applications for the Presidential Preserve America Award for 2006. I have both the applications and the guidelines here for anybody who wants to consider some nominees. The National Alliance of Preservation Commission, (NAPC), form, is being scheduled for July 27`h through July 30`h, 2006. JOHN OXIAN: I don't know where the survey is being done now; but, I would like to propose that the surveyors do all of LaSalle Street and Woodward Avenue in the very near future. I still feel that LaSalle Street should be brought in as an historic district at least to Chapin Street. I also think that Woodward Avenue should also be considered again as an historic district. I have had some dealings with several people on that street who were still interested in making that street an historic district and felt left out when we made Riverside Drive a historic district. There has been more of an interest for this in the eleven to twelve hundred blocks more so than farther in the south. I recently spoke with a person from there who asked me for my opinion about his garage and how he was going to replace it; so I went over there to give him my opinion. He's been living there for about twenty-eight years. A lot of the houses are still in fine condition there. I don't exactly agree with the prior ratings on the houses there either. It was like somebody went through and rated most of the houses a nine except for a few of them. VI. HEARING OF VISITORS DON SPORLEDER: The International Masonry Institute has its stone restoration workshop coming up again on Monday, August 29`h in Annapolis, Maryland. This is a follow up to last year's very effective workshop on historic masonry. I would encourage those on the commission who can make it to attend. It is reasonably priced and will be a very important workshop on stone restoration. VII. ANNOUNCEMENTS, MISCELLANEOUS, ADJOURNMENT LYNN PATRICK: We stand adjourned. Meeting adjourned at 9:00 pm.

September 15 C A M P or Commission Assistance and Mentoring Program at Rudimere in Elkhart with John Oxian and Lynn Patrick. Highly recommend it to Commissioners for next year. A good orientation or refresher course depending on where you arc on the curve. Some useful nuggets: Conduct the reviews of the COA in "guideline speak" item by item and state reasons. Do NOT say, "in my opinion", "I believe", cic. Minutes should have exact wording on motions, votes and instructions to owners; the discussions do not need to be word for word. Use same version of Roberts Rules as die City Council. September 19 Lynn Patrick and I met with John Lentz. acid Mike Eby concerning the following items: The Edward Talley restitution of $17, 083.55. The restricted Southhold monies for awards and easements($7000J are in a Special Gifts Fund accessed by Direct Pay Claims; The unrestricted Southhold money and the funds from die City($10,083.55) accessed via appropriation process. The balance of the 2005 City's funding ($19,000) to HPC is accessed by the appropriation process. We also addressed latent tax issue from the Talley Administration and a possible resolution to it. The Navarre Cabin grant paperwork was discussed and die need for a meeting with Cheryl Taylor of NICH and John Leinz and me. The HPC Office expansion has been completed acid files and bookcases moved in. We will need additional office furniture as well as a proper conference table and chairs. The worktable will suffice for now, but will be needed in the office area. I would like a motion to appropriate some of the City funds for the purchase office furniture and die conference table and chairs. The Cornelius O'Brien Conference is October 20-22 in Lafayette. There is one scholarship available for staff or a Commissioner. I will need a motion to allow Julie and I to go to die Conference. I will need a motion also on the scholarship recipient. Lynn Patrick has indicated that she would like to attend. Wayne Doolittle will cover die office.

JOSEPH COUNTY MONTHLY MEETING September 19, 2005 4`h Floor, Council Chambers, County -City Building, South Bend, IN MEMBERS PRESENT: Lynn Patrick, (President) Martha Choitz, (Vice -President) Mary Jane Chase, (Secretary) Catherine Hostetler, (Member) Todd Zeiger, (Member) Joann Sporleder, (Architectural Historian) MEMBERS ABSENT: Gerald Ujdak, (Member) John Oxian, (Treasurer) Diane Wrobel-Illes, (Member) STAFF PRESENT: Catherine Hostetler, (Director) Julie Schutte, (Assistant Director) Aladean DeRose, (City Attorney) ALSO PRESENT: Kent Anderson, Barbara Witter, Phil Pavey, (contractor), Don Sporleder, Karen Ainsley, (NNN) I. CALLED MEETING TO ORDER LYNN PATRICK: Called the meeting to order at 7:33 pm. II. PUBLIC HEARING A. CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS 1. 2005-0825A; 517 Carroll Street CATHERINE HOSTETLER: (See staff report, pictures, and siding brochure attached to C of A in HPC meeting binder). The homeowner, Mr. Kent Anderson, was present and so was his contractor, Mr. Phil Pavey, from P & R Construction. PHIL PAVEY: (See application requirements on reverse side of application along with proposed work description attached to C of A in HPC meeting binder. MARY JANE CHASE: If the contractor puts Styrofoam insulation over the clapboards and under the vinyl siding, will this end up trapping moisture; because, if it does, then it would rot the original wood siding on the house. TODD ZEIGER: Do you plan to install gutters and downspouts on the house? KENT ANDERSON: I already have gutters and downspouts for the house stored in my garage and I plan to have them reinstalled once the siding is done. LYNN PATRICK: Have you or your contractor removed any of the aluminum siding to see what condition the original wood siding is in? What is the cost going to be for this project? KENT ANDERSON: The siding underneath isn't in good shape. There is a part in the back that was damaged by trees. When we pulled the aluminum siding off the wood siding was rotten and in bad shape. PHIL PAVEY: The cost for the project is going to be $7,000.00 dollars. JOANN SPORLEDER: Is the attic insulated on the roof and the floor? Is the roof ventilated? How do you plan to maintain the original window trim on the house when he installs the new vinyl siding? PHIL PAVEY: We plan to build the window frames out with 1" by 4"s, so the window frame will not be under the vinyl siding. TODD ZEIGER: Typically aluminum siding was installed with furring strips. Even with the '/<" fan wrap, I'm not convinced you will need to build out the window frames with the 1 by 4s. LYNN PATRICK: I will make a motion that the eight -inch aluminum siding be removed and replaced with four -inch vinyl siding with the staff recommendations that the wide decorative wooden fascia boards should not be covered; original doors and trim and windows and trim are to be maintained; and any original trim uncovered when the aluminum siding is removed is to be retained. Wayne Doolittle, HPC Inspector, will also make regular visits to the work site to check and make sure that the work is being done correctly as specified by the commission. TODD ZEIGER: Seconds the motion and it passes. Martha Choitz and Joann Sporleder abstain. 2. 2005-0901; Pocket Park in Chapin Park at Lafayette and LaMonte CATHERINE HOSTETLER: (See staff report, drawings, etc, attached to C of A in HPC meeting binder).
