MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OF SOUTH BEND & SAINT JOSEPH COUNTY May 5, 2006 HPC Offices, South Bend 125 S. Lafayette Blva,1" Floor Members Present: Lynn Patrick [President], Todd Zeiger [Vice -President], Mary Jane Chase [Secretary], Timothy. Klusczinski [Treasurer], Catherine Hostetler, Martha Choitz, Diane Wrobel-Illes Members Absent: Jerry Ujdak, Joann Sporleder Staff Present: Catherine Hostetler [Director], Julie Schutte [Assistant Director], Shawn Peterson [Counsel] I. CALL TO ORDER: Lynn Patrick called the meeting to order at 5:03 pm. II. LANDMARK — FIRST READING & INTERIM PROTECTION —1013 E. JEFFERSON Current photos of 1013 E. Jefferson were passed around to the Commission members [Exhibit 1] and Catherine Hostetler described the significance of the property. The house was built in 1907 for Harry Johnson, the grandson of J. M. Studebaker, as a wedding present. Ennis Austin, a prominent South Bend architect, designed the residence for the new family. The house was also rated Significant/12 in the South Bend survey. Julie Schutte noted that the property is located in the Howard Park National Register District, two houses from another landmark. Catherine briefly described the situation that currently threatens the residence. A law practice located next to 1013 E. Jefferson would like to purchase the house in order to demolish it for parking. Their bonded agent, Kenny Kent, notified the building department of his client's desire to demolish the building. He is the agent for the seller, TCU, and the attorneys. The sale to the attorneys depends on the demolition of the residence. However, another serious buyer has submitted a bona fide counteroffer directly to the bank after some anomalies with Remax and the bank. She would like to purchase the building to rehab it. The Commission then considered if the building was architecturally and/or historically significant to proceed with interim protection and landmark status. Todd Zeiger reiterated that is does meet the criteria as the residence is rated S/12, is located in a National Register Historic District, was designed by a noted South Bend architect, and is connected to the Studebaker family. Lynn Patrick: I moved to accept the following findings of fact regarding 1013 E. Jefferson Blvd, the Studebaker — Johnson House and to place the structure under interim protection. The Studebaker — Johnson House located at 1013 E. Jefferson fulfills the three criteria for landmark status and should be placed under interim protection for six months or until landmark status is granted or denied by the Common Council. It fulfills the three criteria for landmark status: 1.) It is architecturally/historically important and connected to the development of the area because it was designed by Ennis Austin for Harry D. Johnson, Jr., the eldest grandson of J. M. Studebaker and a master mechanic at the Studebaker Corp; 2.) Its educational value as an architecturally significant home owned by a member of the prominent Studebaker family; and 3.) Its suitability for preservation because it is rated significant/notable in the South Bend survey and was designed by Ennis Austin in 1907 for Mr. Johnson. Ennis Austin was a partner for the prominent architectural firm of Austin and Shambleau. Diane Wrobel-Illes: Second. Lynn asked for discussion on the motion. There was none. Lynn asked for public comment. There was none. She asked for a vote: the motion on the floor passed 7-0 all in favor. III. ADJOURNMENT No other matters were discussed.

Jefferson Dear Teachers Credit Union: A Certified Local Government Catherine D. Hostetler, Director Please be advised that the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County had a meeting on May 5, 2006 and entertained an initial proposal to create landmark status for the Studebaker/Johnson House located at 1013 E. Jefferson, South Bend, IN 46617 in the Howard Park National Register District; as a result of this initial proposal for landmark status, the Historic Preservation Commission voted to place the property under interim protection. Interim protection means that this structure cannot be moved or demolished for the next six months or until Local Historic Landmark Designation has been established or rejected by the Historic Preservation Commission and the South Bend Common Council. Interim protection also means that the exterior appearance of the building and building's site may not be changed by alteration, reconstruction or addition. This does not preclude painting. Any additions, alterations or reconstructions, including demolition must be reviewed and approved by this office prior to any building or demolition permits being issued for this site. The authority for this action is the South Bend City Code Section 21-13.02 subsection (d)5.'A copy of this ordinance may be obtained in this office of the office of the City Clerk of South Bend during normal business hours.

In 1902, it was moved to this location from 348 W. Colfax to make way for Central High School. Ort settled in the area in 1850, was a farmer and worked for the Judson Flour Mill. The house is an excellent example of a frame Italianate residence. APPLICATION ITEMS: Replace porch -decking, repair latticework, add handrail and move stairs to side LANDMARK GUIDELINES C. Renovations and Additions. Renovation is the modification of a structure, which does not alter the general massing, while am addition is a change in mass. Additions to landmarks should not detract from the original form and unity of the landmark and should not cover singular examples of architectural detail. The proportions, materials and ratios of the existing structure should be carried though in the additions. Care should be taken not to change or alter the following: 1. Structure — Necessary structural improvements, where safety demands should be accomplished in such a way as to cause minimal visible change to the original style and construction. 2. Material — Additions and improvements involving any new material in a landmark should be of the same material as the original. RECOMMENDATION The porch posts, brackets and roof configuration will remain the same despite the submitted drawing. The t replacement of the porch decking and latticework is an in-kind replacement and staff recommends approval. The proposed addition of the handrail to the porch meets the guideline standards for materials, will not cover . singular architectural details and should not change the rhythm of the front fagade. The move of the stairs will also meet the guidelines for materials and will not change the original form and unity of the landmark. If desired at some point in the future, the stairs could be moved back to the current location and the handrail could be removed as well. Staff recommends approval of the replacement of the porch decking, the repair of the lattice, the moving of the stairs and the addition of the simple handrail. - for - Certificate of Appropriateness Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend & St. Joseph County 125 South Lafayette Boulevard Mailing address: 227 West Jefferson Blvd - South Bend IN 46601-1830 Phone: 219-235-9798 Fax: 219-235-9578 e-mail: SB&ICI ?C@co.tt-jo.Ph.ln.us We bsite:http:lhvww.st josephcountylndiana.com/sjchpMde:.html A Certified Local Government Office use only»»>DO NOT COMPLETE ANY ENTRIES CONTAINED IN THIS BO.h»OFFICE USE ONLY Date Received -I " / 2006 Past Reviews: ❑ YES (LUTE OFLISrREVIEM Staff Approval authorized by: Historic Commission Review Date: ® Local Landmark ❑ National Register District (Nam,): ❑ Local Historic District p✓am./: Certificate of Appropriateness: ❑ Denied Application Number: 2006- 650 / ❑ NO Title: ❑ National Landmark ❑ Tabled ❑ Sent To Committee ❑ Approved and issued 2006 Address of Property for proposed work: 121 Str.eM'umbrr mdSoea �Na[me) �+ �' //'� p / SST City: Sou�-yl !� enol Owner's Phone No: - 2-3 Z -.SSO'7 Name of Property OWner(S):(PjasT) A/, /J,1- -e- Address Address of Property Owner : / 7_ b,,-ke r J5'� Contractor(s) Name: 1 v Contract Company Name:amtt Contractor Address: City:(go �e.rd -N Contractor's Phone No: Current Use of Building: t n q' (Single roily - Multi-F(amily - Comm%real.

It serves as a tie to the St. Joseph River by providing usable space close to the water and a visual link to the West North Shore Local Historic District. APPLICATION ITEMS: This project is to replace CSO #6 with a newly constructed CSO #6 located almost parallel to the east of the current one through Shetterley Park, down the bluff to the St. Joseph River. The project will begin at the manhole at Leland and Riverside. A temporary construction staging area will be located in the lawn area at the top of the hill slope. Portions of the existing pipe and outfall structure maybe removed for the construction of the new one. Outfall pipe segments that are not removed will be abandoned in place and filled with lean concrete. Tree clearing and a temporary approach path will be required to access the construction areas. Excavation depths of 30 vertical feet or greater will be required for this new construction. Disturbed areas will be stabilized with erosion control blanket and seeded with grass following construction. Re -vegetation of the disturbed hill slope areas with tree seedlings will be completed. Deep-rooted vegetation will not be replaced above revised pipe alignment. However, shallow rooted trees, shrubs, grasses, groundcover or bushes may be installed. The new outfall structure will contain a sump and internal baffle for odor control and two additional manholes are anticipated along the slope for pipe grade changes. These will be visible. A headwall approximately 3 to 5 feet tall will be visible from the river. Exposed concrete surfaces will be cast -in-place with a form liner that may give the appearance of a glacial or flagstone fagade. Earthwork grading will be completed around the outfall structure and pipe alignment. Riprap will be placed adjacent to the outfall in underwater and above water areas for erosion and scour control. This project is subject to IDEM Wet Weather Section approval. The approximate alignment may vary depending upon construct ability issues. The City and their consultants will make every attempt to minimize tree removal and restore areas as soon as possible following construction. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the project as presented realizing that the exact location of the new CSO will be determined on site. 114 !r,�v1Z.'*r,a L "" i Yet" .,t•.`ti, `� : K '''� L �t`'Y" -.. ^�'. e =r I ' ' r+ oa �r W r � ��'� '.",e„r"<'” �1�r4 �4 �^^e � t � '� •, �«Mw✓ '„a d Y1 1 3'q �4 r .

Preservation Plan Review Committee Comments from Timothy Klusczinski; Committee Member Monday, May 15, 2006 Where to begin... My impression of the task to comb the Preservation Plan document was to confront an enormous patchwork of preservation ideals, practices, suggestions, methods and goals collected over the years. As you might suspect, this document focuses upon Historic Landmarks and Districts although it sometimes breaks rank with that discipline to dabble in wider topics like the collaboration with other government agencies. Unfortunately, this document closely resembles a scrapbook whereby its content has been interposed over time. Sections are related in philosophical and procedural ways yet maintain independence from one another. The result is that certain sections go into too much detail and duplicate similar language found in other areas. The implications of that redundancy do become confusing if one required a specific reference to advise a specific action. We've all heard the expression "Less is More." I cannot think of a better way to illustrate this point. What the Plan lacks, is a more logical and contiguous form that would make it a better resource tool for this and future Commission bodies. There is no shortcut here. In light of this strategy, I will make the following recommendations to improve our Preservation Plan document. I call these the BIG twelve: 1. Establish a conceptual order of existing material and then identify voids in that outline. Next create any "missing" pieces to fill in the gaps. a. I am submitting a modified table of contents that better illustrates this notion. b. At times this does require that headings be re -ordered. 2. Scarce Resources are by their very nature, endangered. I propose merging the "Scarce Resources" section into "Endangered Resources" since the action and risk is similar. Each definition should be retained, however. This will allow us to remove a significant amount of redundant material. 3. Create an Incentives Listing. Move applicable material from "Endangered Resources" into that section. This includes but is not limited to Federal Development Tax Credit, Indiana Rehabilitation Tax Credit & Community Development Block Grants. 4. Move "Interdepartmental Relations" into "Summary and Recommendations" 5. Revision dates should mark any working forms contained in the "Plan." 6. It's impractical to include hardcopies of every example of historic district guidebook. However I suggest that each district be named along with the date it was established. Subsequently, publication revisions should be referenced. 7. Revision dates for Landmark Standards should be included and updated whenever revisions occur. 8. Add the definition for the term "Site" as it appears under "Scarce Resources" section. 9. Combine information from "Local Landmarks designation Procedure" into "Policy for Declaring Poorly Maintained, Endangered or Scarce Resources as Local Landmarks." 10. After above change, rename Policy for Declaring, etc" as "Local Landmarks Designation Procedure." 11. Suggestions should be segregated from policy. The phrase "work with" found throughout the text, flags this. Suggestions that are allowed to remain after further review should appear under the Summary and Recommendations section. 12. References to preservation authority (HPC) within other local governmental statutes or ordinances should be added into the Preservation Plan. Admittedly, these are only some of the more basic changes apparent until this Commission orders the revision task. Despite all the changes and trade-offs I believe that the final product will certainly be more comprehensive and perhaps even shorter than the current version. 1. PRESERVATION PLAN A. Introduction B.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT: This is the Francis and Mary Hatch house. It is a circa 1903 Free Classic Queen Anne designed by W.W. Schneider. Francis once worked for the South Bend Tribune as a reporter and later as an editor.

New window and door openings which would alter the scale' and proportion of the building may. not be introduced. RECOMMENDATION Windows are elements of preservation within the Chapin Park local historic district and this house has many large double -hung and fixed multi -pane windows. As this application proposes a change in the dimensions of two original windows and the reduction of glass to wall proportions, staff does not recommend approval. . The owner was not present as he lives in Washington State. The Chair asked if anyone else was present to represent this C of A. Seeing none, the Chair opened the floor to the public. Seeing none who wanted to speak, the Chair closed the public portion of the hearing and recognized Commissioners with questions. Joann Sporleder asked if the house is currently occupied. It is not. She also asked if we are in communication with the owner. Catherine answered that she spoken to the owner on May 11 and verbally gave him notice of the meeting date, location and time. Wayne had also met with him before May I 1 to discuss his plans. The Chair closed this portion of the meeting and entertained a motion. Martha Choitz: I move that Certificate of Appropriateness 2006-0418, 865 Forest Avenue, the window shortening, be denied. Timothy Klusczinski seconded the motion. Joann Sporleder: I am in favor of the denial as the proposal in the application does not follow the . . guidelines for the district. Mary Jane Chase: I am voting to deny the application as changes to historic structures often hurt the resale value of the property. Todd Zeiger. I am voting in favor of the motion to deny this C of A as it does not follow the guidelines as set forth for Chapin Park Lynn Patrick. I am voting to deny application 2006-0418 as it does not meet the guidelines for Chapin Park specifically the following: Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods and hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced with units and trim resembling the original. If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design and hardware should be used. And in particular the finding that new window and door opening, which would alter the scale and proportion of the building, may not be introduced. Tim Klusczinski: I am voting in favor of the motion to deny the C o A as it would alter the scale of the building and this is not recommended in the guidelines just mentioned. Martha Choitz: Raising the lower edge of the windows does not meet the guidelines of Chapin Park and I vote yes to deny. Jerry Ujdak: I am voting to deny for the reasons stated previously. Catherine Hostetler. I vote to deny the CoA as it does alter the scale of the windows and this would be visible. This is not recommended in the guidelines for Chapin Park The motion passed 8-0, all in favor of the denial of the Certificate of Appropriateness 2006-0418, 865 Forest Avenue, South Bend, Indiana. 2.2006-0501: 121 Studebaker Catherine Hostetler read the staff report and the owner, Nina Porter, was present with Ron Perry, who was representing Dennis Moody, the contractor. Joann Sporleder moved to approve Certificate of Appropriateness 2006-0501 as presented [with back - primed tongue and groove porch decking and a shaped rather than squared off handrailj. Jerry Ujdak seconded the motion and it passed 8-0. 3.2006-0505: Shetterley Park Catherine Hostetler read the staff report and the Chair then recognized Jason Durr, Assistant City Engineer and David McCormick, Managing Engineer of Christopher Burke Engineers. A handout of shallow rooted trees and shrubs from the State Forester was submitted to the Commission. These shallow rooted trees could be planted over the pipe alignment to shield the pipe without causing damage by invasive root systems. Jason Durr stated that the City had recently received approval from IDEM for this proposal. David McCormick stated that the current plan would reduce the footprint of the project by at least 50% and the trench width for the project would be reduced with the use of trench boxes (the cuts for the trenches will be very deep — 30 ft in some cases). The project will also maintain existing grades. Odor control will be attained through submersion of the pipe; a duckbill valve will no longer be needed. The City agreed to amend the application to say that the City will replant trees, reseed the area and provide erosion control. The Chair recognized members of the public who wished to speak on this matter. Brendan Crumlish, 1021 Riverside Drive, thanked the engineers for the redesign of the project and noted his one concern — that the trees mentioned in the State Forester's report were not native species. This would leave a big question mark for the fixture look of the park. Brendan suggested the use of deep- rooted trees near the top of the slope and urged that more consideration was needed at this stage for the landscaping. Tom Price, 1049 Riverside Drive, also commended the City for its new plan, but was concerned that the landscaping would not be in-kind and of similar value of what would be removed. He also wondered what the timetable of construction would be and what types of erosion control would be utilized. Further discussion occurred and the Chair then entertained a motion. Timothy Klusczinski: I move to ask the City to amend its application 2006-0505, Shetterley Park, to state that they will plant deep rooted trees near the top of the slope to the extent practical with a preference for native trees. Mary Jane Chase seconded the motion and all were in favor of the motion. The City did provide consent to the amendment. - Joann Sporleder moved to approve Certificate of Appropriateness 2006-0505, Shetterley Park, as submitted and amended. Mary Jane Chase seconded the motion and it passes unanimously. I: E � I_fi:iy 1. 1031 East Jefferson Catherine reported that 1031 E. Jefferson Blvd had been placed under interim protection. This constituted First Reading. Staff reported that no response had been received from the bank or from the real estate agent. The minutes from the May 5b meeting were distributed. Todd Zeiger moved to accept the May 5th minutes. Mary Jane Chase seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. C. NATIONAL REGISTER NOMINATION (None at this time.) III. REGULAR BUSINESS A. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - April 19, 2006 . Todd Zeiger moved to accept the April 19, 2006 minutes. Mary Jane Chased provided the second and the motion was unanimously approved. B. TREASURER'S REPORT Timothy Klusczinski submitted the most recent budget location report. C. COMMITTEE REPORTS 1. President's Report Lynn Patrick mentioned 1031 E. Jefferson and noted that the Commission had just accepted the meeting minutes. She also accepted the resignation of Commission member Diane Wrobel-Illes and thanked her for her service. Committee Reports will be held off until the June meeting with the exception of Tim's briefing on the Preservation Plan. 2. Preservation Plan Committee Tim Klusczinski stated his impressions of the Preservation Plan and his "Big 12" ideas for changes. A copy of this is included in the meeting binder. Todd Zeiger stated his agreement with Tim's briefing. He also suggested that the Commission seek funds from the Historic Preservation Fund to hire a consultant to redraft the plan, involve the public through focus groups and incorporate the upcoming results from the resurvey of the City and the republishing of the County survey. Martha Choitz asked if other plans had been consulted, included that of the National Trust. Shawn Peterson voiced his agreement that the Plan needs to be rewritten, as there are many ambiguous sections. Todd stated that he could come up with some figures for the project and Lynn asked that Tim's report be included in the June meeting packet. D. STAFF REPORTS 1. Director's Report Catherine submitted her report and gave an update on the RestoreMichiana conference and volunteer scheduling. ' 2. Assistant Director's Report Julie Schutte submitted her last Assistant Director's report and stated her appreciation, thanks and well - wishes to the Commission members for three very fine years with the Commission. 3. Legal Report A. Open Door/Sunshine Laws (Nothing new to report.) B. Oliver School Site — 900 Indiana Avenue Shawn reported that after reviewing the landmark ordinance for the School, the ordinance was for the improvement on the site and not the site itself. Catherine stated her agreement of this view. The ordinance is currently clouding the title of the site and inhibiting redevelopment proposals. Essentially, approval of demolition nullified the landmark status for this site. Shawn created a resolution that could be attached to the title of the property if approved by the Commission. Todd moved to approve Resolution No. 2006-01 regarding the Oliver School site as presented by Counsel. Mary Jane Chase seconded the motion. A majority of the Commission was in favor of the motion and it passed. The members in agreement then signed the resolution. IV. OLD BUSINESS A. Chapin Park Booklet Distribution Phase The Chapin Park Neighborhood Association Board is planning a little party and we hope to distribute the books at that meeting. It should take place in early June. B. Southhold Awards Breakfast The breakfast was a success. Todd moved to have Lynn and Staffpresent the award far the Oliver Chilled Plow to Economic Development/Redevelopment. Joann Sporleder seconded the motion and all were in favor. V. ADJOURNMENT Catherine Hostetler moved to adjourn. Tim Klusczinski seconded the motion and all were in favor. The meeting adjoumed at 9:11 p.m. Attest: .
