STAFF REPORT
CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
Date: April 2, 2007
Application Number: 2007 -0313A
Property Location: 1158 Lincolnway East
Property Owner: Michael Pfeil
Landmark or District Designation: Lincolnway East LHD
Rating: Contributing
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT: The 1923 Bungalow was designed by
G.T. Nethercutt for either Mrs. Martha G. Loughman or her daughter Edith Miller. Martha G. Loughman
was the widow of George Loughman who was active in local Republican politics as a Councilman for the
5` ward between 1879 -1881, Mayor of South Bend between 1884 and 1886, County Auditor in 1894.
The residence remained in the Miller family until 1962 when it was sold to Ida and Fred Auer. The
current owner is Mr. Michael Pfeil.
APPLICATION ITEMS: Installation of vinyl replacement windows and aluminum storm windows on the
Jiving room and dining room windows. Owner has completed all of the work.
RECOMMENDATION: The staff is not making a recommendation because the work is completed. The
Staff is submitting COA application as a point of information only on this structure for the Commission and to
document the files on this house. Mr. Pfeil was unaware that the house was located in a local historic district
at the time that this project was in progress. When the Preservation Specialist, Wayne Doolittle, contacted Mr.
Pfeil concerning this matter, Mr. Pfeil agreed to save all of the original windows and store them in the
basement. After speaking with Wayne, he has agreed to keep the original windows in the dormers. He now
has a copy of the Standards and will work with Staff on future projects.

Date: April 5, 2007
Application Number: 2007 -0405
Property Location: 115 East South Street
Property Owner: Abandoned House
Landmark or District Designation: Taylor's Field LHD
Rating: Contributing
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT: This 1910 Queen Anne was built for
Mr. Charles H. Layton on property that he purchased from Sarah Taylor. The house remained in the .
Layton family until 1923. It was owned by various homeowners until its purchase in 1998 by Diane and
Norman Northcutt. '
APPLICATION ITEMS: The house is abandoned. The City of South Bend Code Enforcement proposes
to demolish all the structures, fill the lot and resurface with top soil and seed.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. There was a major fire at this home in October,
2004. Staff and the Commission along with Code Enforcement have been attempting to work with the
property owners since November, 2004. Mr. Stan Molenda's opinion in 2004 was that it was a close call
between demolition and repair of the house. The HPC Preservation Specialists toured the house and
documented the damage in March, 2005. COA 2005 -0505 was issued for repairs to the house and a complete
tear off and re -roof after a review by the Standards and Maintenance Committee. The work was never
initiated and the house has remained open to the elements since its partial destruction by fire in 2004. The
house has not been occupied since October, 2004 and is considered abandoned; and is now considered to be
deteriorated beyond repair.

a substantial state of disrepair, deterioration, or structural
instability not created by the owner;
b) Historically appropriate renovation or rehabilitation is
either technically or economically impractical; and
c) The owner has investigated and considered all reasonable
alternatives to demolition, not simply the least expensive
alternatives, and that all such alternatives such as sale,

Iikelihood,will fail or will not earn a fair economi"c return on
value.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT: This 1903 Queen Anne was built for
Anna and George Secor. They lived in the house for ten years until it was purchased by Laura and
Thomas Jackson. It remained in the Jackson family until 1952. The house was landmarked in March,
2003. The owner of record was not in residence at that time and it has remained unoccupied. The structure
had been left to deteriorate since 2001 and has been the site of numerous break -ins over the years. There
was a fire in October, 2005. The house went into foreclosure but was sold at a tax sale in 2006.
APPLICATION ITEMS: The house is abandoned. The City of South Bend Code Enforcement proposes
to-demolish all the structures, fill the lot and resurface with top soil and seed.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. There was a major fire at this home in October,
2005. Prior to the fire the staff had been unsuccessfully attempting to contact the homeowner, and later the
mortgage company, concerning the deteriorating condition of the exterior of the home. The house then
became the target of thieves, vandals and then arsonists. It was purchased in February, 2006. The Preservation
Specialists from HPC and HLFI attempted to assist the new owner's contractor. The contractor never affected
the repairs. The house has been minimally secured against the elements since 2005; it is now considered
abandoned and beyond repair.

II. PUBLIC HEARING
1. Application Number: 2007 -0307A
Property Location: 1329 East Washington
Property Owner: Kathleen Neal
Landmark or District Designation: Local Landmark
Rating: Notable
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT: This romantic revival/English Tudor
home was designed by the firm of Austin and Shambleau for Joseph Maxwell Stephenson in 1923. He
lived there until his death in 1946. The house was then sold to Eugene O'Brien Vice - President of the
O'Brien Varnish Company. The home was land marked on October 25, 1982.
APPLICATION ITEMS : To replace the non original wooden stockade fencing along the west side of
the home (Exhibit A) with black ornamental aluminum fence with black quad finials (spears) with ball
caps on the posts and a matching gate at the south end between the house and fence (Exhibit B). The
design resembles wrought iron fence pieces located in the basement of the house (Exhibit C).
Landmark Standards: Building Site and Landscaping
1.Required: Major landscaping items, trees, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house
numbers) and benches which reflect the property's history and development shall be retained. Dominant
land contours shall be retained. Structures such as: gazebos, patio decks, fixed barbecue pits, swimming
pools, tennis courts, green houses, new walls fountains, fixed garden furniture, trellises, and other similar
structures shall be compatible to the historic character of the site and neighborhood and inconspicuous
when viewed from a public way.
2. Recommended: New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the
property found in photographs, drawings and newspapers. Plant materials and trees in close proximity to
the building that are causing deterioration to the buildings historic fabric should be removed. However,
trees and plant materials that must be removed should be immediately replaced by suitable flora. Front
yard areas should not be fenced except in cases where historic documentation would indicate such fencing
appropriate. Fencing should be in character with the building style, materials and scale.
RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommends approval. The proposed ornamental fence along the
west side of the house and yard is in keeping with the character of the house and will reintroduce a
documented stylistic element that pre dates the current stockade fencing. (The Staff has already approved
the removal of the arbor vitae and gingko tree along the fence line per City Forester, Brent Thompson's
assessment. Ms. Neal is going replace plantings with more appropriate shrubbery at a later date.)
Hostetler: The homeowners are here.
Klusczinski: Would you like to add anything?
Mrs Neal: We've only been in the house since
Klusczinski: Before that, please state your name and address for the record.
Mrs Neal: Kathleen Neal, 1329 E Washington. My husband Mark and I bought the house in, we
moved in in August and we are the fools that love old houses. So this is just the first of probably
many projects. The fence is constantly falling down on top of the bushes that are there, and we
could have easily replaced it with just another piece of wood stockade, and not come before you
but we really wanted to do it right. After we'd picked out the style, we were rummaging in the
basement, and found the (original) spear point that matches what we'd picked out. We hope that
you will- it's not in the front of the house, its all in the back, between our property and the
neighbors. It keeps our dog from wondering around.
Klusczinski: Nothing to add?
Mr Neal: Nothing to add.
Klusczinski: Any Commissioners with questions for the petitioners?
Riley: I have a question of interest. Is your fence very similar to your neighbor behind you on
Colfax?
Mrs Neal: My neighbor has a combination of eight foot chain link and then they just moved in
about the same time that we did, and they just installed four'foot black aluminum. So, it's the
same material. They don't have any spear points, it's just a flat top straight across but it is
similar. They have a combination of chain link, stockade, and then the four foot.
Riley: Well, it's certainly attractive.
Mrs Neal: They've done a nice job and we contacted that company as one of the ones.
Riley: I applaud you for doing the same thing.
Mrs Neal: Thank you.
Klusczinski: Any other questions? Well, then I open the public hearing portion of this segment.
Is there a member of the public wishing to speak for the petitioner? Hearing none, is there any
member of the public wishing to speak in opposition? Also hearing none, Commission
discussion? Does anyone have anything that they'd like to add?
Chase: It's nice to see new people following the rules of doing things.
Klusczinski: Well done. Finding offact: Certificate of Appropriateness 2007 -0307A stands as
submitted. I'll entertain a motion.
Chase: So moved.
Riley: Second.
Klusczinski: Motion to...? In favor? Is that what you meant?
Chase: Yes.
Klusczinski: All in favor? (Ayes are heard) Opposed? (Silence) Motion carries.
Congratulations.

C. COMMITTEE REPORTS
1. President's Report — Tim Klusczinski
March 2, 2007
Attended the Indiana Main Street luncheon and presentation at DTSB. Hosted by Jo Grandel
Program Manager (IMS) and our very own Amy Herdman, the discussion introduced the (4) key
points necessary to drive this successful downtown revitalization program. Specifically, these
are: design, organization, economic restructuring, and promotion. Local representatives from
DTSB, Community and Economic Development, and Memorial Hospital were among those at the
table. I attended on behalf of the HPC, and was joined by Lynn Patrick, Todd Zeiger, Linda
Riley, Catherine Hostetler and Amy. After the interested parties have an opportunity to digest the
information, a follow -up meeting will be scheduled to discuss ways of bringing these concepts
into South Bend. A general consensus at the meeting was to merge new Main Street ideas into
the current DTSB infrastructure.
March 5, 2007
Toured Marquette Primary Center with Landmarks Committee
March 7, 2007
Participated in Landmarks Committee meeting to explore Marquette Primary Center's
qualifications as a candidate for Local Landmark status.
March 8, 2007
At the invitation of Carla Killilea Principle Marquette Primary Center, I joined Catherine
for the "Proposed Montessori Magnet School" presentation in Marquette's Auditorium, hosted by
Patricia O'Connor, Asst. Superintendent of Instruction SBCSC. Most of the information
attempted to introduce the Montessori concept to those less familiar with that educational
philosophy. While I found the entire notion intriguing, my attention was focused primarily on
ki
design strategies that might come into play if Marquette is to be transformed into a Montessori
facility. Parents and faculty did have an opportunity to ask questions. Those related to my
concerns, prompted the Assistant Superintendent to comment about the details of that evening's
power point presentation. In particular, she noted that the classrooms in the video were located in
Fort Wayne that Fort Wayne utilized an old building and that Montessori program was
successfully implemented in those surroundings. At a separate time, Pat also admitted that
contingent upon the [$12 Million] grant; the Corporation (meaning SBCSC) would be able to
institute the Marquette Montessori Magnet in a new building or an old one.
March 14, 2007
Met with Dan Driscoll - Head of School, Good Shepherd Montessori in South Bend. Catherine
Hostetler and Linda Riley accompanied me. Dan was kind enough to host detailed tour of their
facility and later to allow us to participate in a discussion with his architect.
2. Landmarks Committee — Chair, Linda Riley
Chairwoman Riley presented the Committee's recommendation to landmark Marquette School.
Counsel reminded Committee and all present of the requirements of due notice etc., per Indiana
Code. Commissioner Ujdak reports that he's spoken to the grant writer for SBCSC and that it
isn't looking good for the grant that was possibly threatening Marquette. The significant
matching requirement had been overlooked.
3. Southhold Awards Breakfast — Catherine Hostetler
The menu has been set. Invitations should go out by the end of the month. (March).
Commissioners will be needed to assist with registration on the morning of the event. A search
for the guest speaker continues.
IV. OLD BUSINESS
President Klusczinski asked if the problem with email had been resolved. Staff noted that .
although the problem has been examined by the Data Board, and that HPC computers were now
"wide open" that the email problems continued.
Secretary Zeiger reported that the Birdsell House on W Colfax has been sold. The buyer is from
Chicago and is very preservation minded.
V. NEW BUSINESS
Landmarks Committee Chairwoman Riley initiated the Land Marking Procedure for Marquette
School. She went on to review significant details about the structure including: the school was
designed and built by prominent South Bend architects Austin and Shambleau. The school was
built by the PWA during the Roosevelt administration and remains essentially unaltered and very
sound. Counsel clarified the process for conducting public hearings on the matter, and reminded
the Commission that the owners of the site must be duly notified.

Creating a 21st Century College Town
Friday, April 13 and Saturday, April 14
About the Symposium:
Just south of the University of Notre Dame campus, land will be developed that could
incorporate market -rate housing, retail, restaurants, theaters, offices and green space. A
well- conceived and executed master plan could help further connect the campus and the
surrounding community. With this on the horizon, the University of Notre Dame School
of Architecture and the Northern Indiana AIA will bring together experts to discuss what
makes a successful college town.
Creating an attractive community for students, faculty and staff helps colleges and
universities attract the best people to study and work. Good college towns realize
considerable revenue in property and sales taxes while creating the less tangible, but
equally important value of another vibrant neighborhood that serves the varied needs of
its citizens. Understanding how campuses and towns have interacted successfully in the
past, and are doing so again today, is essential to defining strategies and goals for new
college town projects.
Friday, April 13
4:30 pm, Bond Hall Auditorium: Keynote Address
Dhiru Thadani, a principal with Ayres / Saint / Gross Architects and Planner based in
Washington, D.C., will provide an overview of trends and what is happening with
planning college towns across the U.S.
A question and answer session will follow.
6:00 pm — Opening Reception
Bond Hall Foyer
Saturday, April 14
9:30 am to 12:00 pm, Bond Hall Auditorium
20 min. presentations,'5 min. questions after each. Kara Kelly will be the timekeeper.
1) Opening remarks by Michael Lykoudis
2) . David Mayernik, University of Notre Dame Professor of Architecture and
designer of boarding school campuses in Europe, will discuss the campus
edge: how it differs in campuses designed on monastic vs. village models,
focusing on how real engagement between town and gown involves shared
space and integrated planning.
3) Brian Kelly, is a consultant to Ayres Saint Gross and Professor at the
University of Maryland School of Architecture. He'll discuss town / gown
relationship on three campuses designed by Jens Frederick Larson (Colby,
Bucknell, and Wake Forest). Larson was one of the most active campus
architects in the 1930's -50's and literally "wrote the book" on campus planning
techniques, as Kelly says.
4) Kevin Clark, an associate with Historical Concepts, Atlanta. They are
planning a college town for Regency College on a nearby 30 -acre greenfield
site.
5) Milton Grenfell, founding principal of Grenfell Architecture and Bob
Chapman, developer. They will discuss Duke University. Duke's west
campus was envisioned as a college set off in a forest, rather on the monastic
model. The result is a blighted no man's land between Duke and the
surrounding city. Their work at Duke has been about changing this situation.
Bob will share the numbers end of things and the nuts and bolts of
development.
12:00 to 1:00 pm, Lunch break. Participants are on their own; although we hope to
have box lunches and pop available for sale.
1:00 to 4:30 pm, Bond Hall Auditorium
1) Alicia Berg, former Commissioner of Chicago Department of Planning and
Development and Vice President of Campus Environment, Columbia College,
Chicago. She will discuss incentives needed for businesses to get on board
with supporting a mixed -use development especially as it pertains to college
towns. She will describe how mixed -use developments improve the quality of
life of students, faculty and local residents, as well as leasing and
demographic issues. Hopefully she can also discuss UIC's development along
Halsted Street.
2) Cynthia van Zelm, executive director of the Mansfield Downtown
Partnership. An independent, non - profit organization charged with
coordinating the enhancement and revitalization of Mansfield's commercial
areas. Mansfield Downtown is a public - private partnership composed of
representatives from the community, business, town, and the University of
Connecticut. The group is actively involved the college town the University of
Connecticut is creating.
3) Kite, the developer for a retail - residential development south of Notre Dame.
Kite reached an agreement with Notre Dame in spring 2007 to develop 26
acres along Eddy Street and Edison Road. Besides shops and restaurants, the
project is expected to include about 100 apartments above the retail area;
about 195 townhouses and 80 condominiums along Eddy south and east of the
retail corridor; a 150 -room hotel; and a parking garage for 270 to 400
vehicles.
4) Round Table Discussion moderated by Prof. David Mayernik.
He will propose one or two questions, and then open it up to the audience.
Participants are Brian Kelly, Alicia Berg, Cynthia van Zelm, and Milton
Grenfell.

HPC President's Report April 16, 2007 — Timothy S. Klusczinski
Amendment:
At our last meeting (March 19th), I omitted Commissioner Chase from my recollection of
attendees at the DTSB /Indiana Main Street presentation. I offer my apologies for this
oversight and ask the she be properly recorded.
March 24, 2007:
I participated in Restore Michiana at Madison Primary Center as a host and presenter.
Though it was a successful venture, judging from the publics' comments, the effort and
coordination were certainly monumental. My personal thanks goes to Catherine
Hostetler, Amy Herdman, Wayne Doolittle, Todd Zeiger, Jennifer Gregar and Paul
Hayden for a job well done! An honorable mention goes to Lynn Patrick, Linda Riley
and Mary Jane Chase for their volunteer assistance. I hope everyone had a great time!
March 27, 2007:
Attended the de- briefing session at HLFI to discuss the evaluations from Restore
Michiana and to strategize about next year's event and location.
April 10, 2007:
Meeting with Amy Herdman to review the HPC website. Broken and misplaced links as
well as obsolete information was meticulously identified and brought to the attention of
John Carlson, St. Joseph County GIS Coordinator and IT Representative. I am delighted
to report that preliminary corrections and deletions were remedied later that day. John
also assured me that HPC submissions to the site would be posted in a timely manner.
These especially include our 2007 public meeting schedule and newsletter publications.
Currently an effort is underway to revise (and pretty) the entire County website. I intend
to stay in close contact with Amy, John and his associates to relay any future and
noticeable progress.
Email Exchanges:
Recently, I've observed an improvement in the transfer electronic exchanges between my
email client and the staffs county email addresses. However, it was conveyed to me that
glitches still exist for information exchanged between the County and City servers. As a
fail -safe measure an alternate mail address (hpcl973 @gmail.com) was created to assure
open intra - departmental communications.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCEMISTORIC CONTEXT: The 1923 Bungalow was designed by
G.T. Nethercutt for either Mrs. Martha G. Loughman or her daughter Edith Miller. Martha G. Loughman
was the widow of George Loughman who was active in local Republican politics as a Councilman for the
5 ward between 1879 -1881, Mayor of South Bend between 1884 and 1886, County Auditor in 1894.
The residence remained in the Miller family until 1962 when it was sold to Ida and Fred Auer. The
current owner is Mr. Michael Pfeil.
APPLICATION ITEMS: Installation of vinyl replacement windows and aluminum storm windows on
the living room and dining room windows. Owner has completed all of the work.
RECOMMENDATION: The staff is not making a recommendation because the work is completed.
The Staff is submitting COA application as a point of information only on this structure for the
Commission and to document the files on this house. Mr. Pfeil was unaware that the house was located
in a local historic district at the time that this project was in progress. When the Preservation Specialist,
Wayne Doolittle, contacted Mr. Pfeil concerning this matter, Mr. Pfeil agreed to save all of the original
windows and store them in the basement. After speaking with Wayne, he has agreed to keep the original
windows in the dormers. He now has a copy of the Standards and will work with Staff on future projects.
Klusczinski: Petitioner present? Sir, could you use the microphone over here and state
your name and address for the record, please.
Pfeil: Mike Pfeil, uh, this address or where I live? This is a project that I bought to sell.
Klusczinski: At your place of residence.
Pfeil: 20340 Richard Avenue, South Bend, Indiana 46637.
Klusczinski: And you're the property owner?
Pfeil: Correct.
Klusczinski: Does this Certificate of Appropriateness accurately describe the project?
Pfeil: Yes.
Klusczinski: That's already been completed? Question for Counsel..
Greene: Yes?
Klusczinski: No, I have a question for you.
Greene: Oh, I'm sorry, you do things differently.
Klusczinski: Because this is an application after the fact, is it a moot point that we
entertain this for voting? Can we just receive this into the record?
Greene: I think that because the action has already been taken, your approval of
disapproval of this Certificate of Appropriateness would not have any effect on the actual
project. What you're trying to do here is make a record for your file, and you're
accepting the application as a point of reference or as a point of information only.
Patrick: Can we accept the application, but deny the work?
Greene: Uh, yes I believe that you could, and you could send a correspondence to that
effect to this petitioner or applicant.
Klusczinski: I see, well I'm certainly open for some suggestions. Do you have any other
statement to make in regard to this?
Pfeil: I think that Wayne explained it. He showed up one week before I was done, I was
about to list the house. He told me what I had on my hands and it's been on hold ever
since, so I've been sitting on it for a month. I talked with realtors and they didn't know
anything about it...
Patrick: Who is the realtor, I'm sorry to interrupt, that represented the house?
Pfeil: McGinty ( ?) and Company. I don't have their card. Bob McGinty? I thought that
he might be here, but he didn't show up tonight. I talked to him about it but it never came
up in title search, it never came up in tax records, it just didn't show up. I've had it since
the end of December, I think and like I said, when Wayne showed up I was done, ready to
sell it.
Patrick: What was the cost of the improvements?
Pfeil: The windows or everything?
Patrick: The windows, the part that's non - compliant with the...
Pfeil: I think uh, about $3500.00.
Patrick: Did you have a building permit?
Pfeil: No, I wasn't even aware that I should do that. This is about the fourth house that
L..1 just started doing this last year.
Patrick: So you did not submit for a building permit.
Pfeil: No, and he said that's where it might have shown up. The windows in back, the
ones that I took out, were all screwed in because they wouldn't stay up by themselves.
They all leaked. There's a train that runs in the back of the yard, they all rattled when
the train passes. The replacements are much quieter and much warmer.
Patrick: Any photos submitted with this.
Pfeil: He told me that he might take some, but he didn't get, in fact I saw Wayne today
and he didn't hand me any.
Klusczinski: Would we violate proper procedure, counselor, if we received this without
public comment?
Greene: I don't believe that a C ofA generally calls for public comment unless you go to,
and again I apologize for just stepping in at the last minute...
Klusczinski: Procedurally, we usually for people supporting the petitioner or in
opposition for it. So with that in mind, would we have a problem?
Greene: No, you have the full discretion whether to issue this permit or not- so it's up to
you, whether to accept public comment at this time.
Klusczinski: I would entertain a motion whether or not we pursue this Certificate of
Appropriateness for discussion, for the record, it is 2007- 0313A. Or if we forego this
discussion and receive it into record for the property since the work has already been
completed.
Zeiger: Did you say you're looking for a motion?
Klusczinski: I'm looking for a motion
Choitz: I so move... your last suggestion.
Klusczinski: Which was...?
7
Choitz: Which was that, that we would ok...
Klusczinski: ... that we would receive it into
Choitz: That we would receives it as it is.
Sporleder: Second.
Klusczinski: Any Commission discussion on this?
Sporleder: I have one question that I would like to pursue since he did go to the trouble
of ascertaining through the realtor, etc. I have thought that all of our local historic
districts and local landmarks were to be keyed into the auditor's office and recorder of
deeds, so that should have been flagged. If that's not happening, then we need to be
aware of that. If its not, he really isn't responsible for not knowing that because the
transfer of deeds etc., is where that is supposed to be caught, and if its not there than it
may not have been caught by the building department either.
Hostetler: The Building Department has, and he didn't apply for a building permit
either, uh but the Building Department has a listing of everything that we have in the city
and in the county. We're currently working with, and there's going to be an intern hired
by the data processing, the IT company, that's doing all of the new certification work,
countywide and citywide for both area plan and the building department that's putting all
of our information on the system. They would not put it on the tax system because it did
not relate to taxes. We tried to get it on that. They said no, that's just for property tax
information, so now we're going this route so that would mean that as soon as anyone
applies for any time of building permit, that it will flash up there that it's a historic
district or a landmark, and that should be done by the end of this year.
Klusczinski: Any other discussion?
Zeiger: Just to suggest that maybe we need to make signs for either end of the street that
say that it's a historic district bigger.
Pfeil: They're marked, in other places, but they're not marked on Lincoln Way.
Zeiger: There's a sign on Lincoln Way isn't there? It says "Welcome to Lincoln Way
Historic District" or something. I call for the question.
Klusczinski: Question has been called. Is there a second.
Zeiger: Its been seconded.
Klusczinski: But not the question.
Chase: I second it.
Klusczinski: All in favor? (Ayes are heard) Opposed? (Opposed is heard) Ok.
Herdman: Mr. President, may I ask a question? On previous votes, where there was a
dissenting vote, it was legal counsel's opinion that the person must speak into the record
the reason for their dissenting vote.
Klusczinski: Lynn, would you be able to offer...
Patrick: Yes, this Certificate of Appropriateness is submitted on work that's already
completed, though it's incomplete. There are no photos of the completed workpresented
with... are those the current windows or those that have been redone?
Hostetler: 2005, and 2006.
Patrick: Back of the home, September 2005, side of the home 2006. Which of these have
are the ones where the windows have been replaced?
Hostetler: All of those except the ones in the dormer.
Patrick: These have all been replaced?
Hostetler: They're storm windows, all storm windows.
Patrick: Uh -huh.
Hostetler: Wayne didn't take the pictures.
Patrick: So my original statement is that I'm denying- being presented this, I was
expecting some kind of photos of the work.
Sporleder: Can I comment on that? I thought that the Commission itself was presenting
this C of A.
Hostetler: No.

please?
Moved: Choitz
Receipt of C of A 2007 -0313A
Application Number:
2007 -0405
Property Location: 115 East South Street
Property Owner: Abandoned House
Landmark or District Designation: Taylor's Field LHD
Rating: Contributing
Second: Sporleder
Approved 8 -1
Patrick dissenting
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCEMISTORIC CONTEXT: This 1910 Queen Anne was built for
Mr. Charles H. Layton on property that he purchased from Sarah Taylor. The house remained in the
Layton family until 1923. It was owned by various homeowners until its purchase in 1998 by Diane and
Norman Northcutt.
APPLICATION ITEMS: The house is abandoned. The City of South Bend Code Enforcement
proposes to demolish all the structures, fill the lot and resurface with top soil and seed.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. There was a major fire at this home in October,
2004. Staff and the Commission along with Code Enforcement have been attempting to work with the
property owners since November, 2004. Mr. Stan Molenda's opinion in 2004 was that it was a close call
between demolition and repair of the house. The HPC Preservation Specialists toured the house and
documented the damage in March, 2005. COA 2005 -0505 was issued for repairs to the house and a
complete tear off and re -roof after a review by the Standards and Maintenance Committee. The work was
never initiated and the house has remained open to the elements since its partial destruction by fire in
2004. The house has not been occupied since October, 2004 and is considered abandoned; and is now
considered to be deteriorated beyond repair.
Klusczinski: Is the petitioner present?
Hostetler: And we do have pictures, Lynn... if you want to see pictures.
Toppel: I'm Catherine Toppel, I'm Director of Code Enforcement with offices here on
the 13` floor, 227 W. Jefferson. Right now I'd like to submit some pictures, I actually
never thought that I'd be before and in fact that I'd actually prefer saving structures
much over demolishing structures. In this particular case, as was mentioned, the fire _
occurred in 2004. The pictures that I'm sending around are from March '05 and it's now
considerably worse than that now. We, Code Enforcement, did file for a hearing for
demolition in 2005; excuse me, 2004 after the fire. However, that was modified to a
repair order, to work with the owner to get the property repaired in May of '05. The
Hearing Officer gave him time to make repairs and to submit a performance bond to
insure that the repairs were made and to move forward. The owner, Mr. Northcutt
contacted us on several occasions and said that he was trying to come up with the money
for the performance bond. We extended the deadline on numerous occasions for him to
do this. It has not been done. This particular home has been open to the elements this
entire time without any attempts to tarp it, to protect anything on this particular home.
At this point, we feel that it has become a huge safety issue for the neighbors; the people
around it are continually complaining that they can't enjoy theirproperty because of the
destruction of this one. That's why we wish for approval to go forward.
Klusczinski: I need some clarification. You're not the property owner?
Toppel: No, sir.
Klusczinski: I'm under the impression that all Certificates of Appropriateness must be
submitted by the property owner. Is that true to form?
4
Toppel: We have an affirmed demolition order from the Hearing Ojjicer. Before the City
cam proceed with demolition, we need to come forward for a Certificate of
Appropriateness, but we actually have an order to proceed with demolition of the
property...
Klusczinski: Due to safety issues. And do we have that as part of our record? That you
have control of the property?
Toppel: We actually don't own the property. This is a hearing order, and no, I apologize
I have a copy here that I can certainly submit...
Greene: When property is in, the condition such as it goes before the Code Enforcement
bureau or division, there is an administrative hearing that is held and the property owner
has the opportunity to come forward, they're cited for violation of City Code. They have
the opportunity to come forward, present evidence; they're given the opportunity to
repair the property. If they don't comply with the order that is entered by the Code
Enforcement officer then a demolition order is entered, and Code Enforcement has the
right by statute to proceed to demolish the property and then the property owner becomes
responsible for the cost of demolition. Correct, Catherine?
Toppel: That's absolutely correct. Under Indiana Unsafe Building Law 36 -7 -9, that is
what gives the department of Code Enforcement the authority to proceed with demolition
hearings. They do have a 10 day appeal period only. In fact, he never did, but in fact
contacted us which is why we came in for a modification. There have actually been
several demolition hearings- March 31, 2005, May 10, 2005, May 12, 2005 and May 19,
2005. Finally, in February, we took bids on February 27, 2007. We've been through
numerous hearings on this with the hopes to entice the owner, as opposed to demolition.
Demolition is always my last resort. Frankly, its going to cost the city lots of dollars and
there's beautiful architecture on this home that's been totally ruined because its out in
the elements. I can submit the findings to you; they have been recorded, and are in fact
on the title of the property.
Greene: The appeal period has run, correct?
Toppel: Absolutely, two years ago.
Patrick: I'd like to ask a question ifI may. Has anyone been inside the structure? In a
professional capacity?
Hostetler: Wayne and Bob Yapp went through it.
Patrick: Oh really?
Hostetler: That's what the report says, the staff report. The Preservation Specialist
toured the house and documented the damage in 2005. That's where you've got those
interior shots from.
Patrick: So that's my question, pursuant to that, in more recent times, have...
Hostetler: It's not safe.
Patrick: That was my question, it's not safe enough for anyone to salvage anything out of
if indeed there were anything....?
Hostetler: It's not worth dying over.
Patrick: No, nothing's worth dying over.
Toppel: These are our actual findings that we did allow for modification, and if the
modification conditions were not met that it was to go forward...
Hostetler: May we have that?
Toppel: Yeah, and then I'll get with you to get a copy back.
Chase: I have a question just for information. So what is procedure for the city when a
property is abandoned and it must be destroyed... does it go up for auction and then the
proceeds go to the city to repay the expense? What's the process on that?
Toppel: Actually the demolition, we let out for bids. We did have a low bid at $6891.00,
which was the low bid. That will go as alien on that particular property. Eventually, it
may go up for tax sale, for back taxes, but no the city doesn't acquire the property itself.
Uj dak: Is the property owner or former property owner still paying taxes on it?
M
Toppel: Currently, I don't know. Unfortunately the tax computers were down when I
was going to do my homework this morning. That's what you get when you wait til the
last minute, but the computers were down. I don't know if he's current or not, but I would
suspect that he's not. I do have a copy of a check that he received from an insurance
agent. The check was only for $7000.00, after the fire, and my conversation with the
adjustor on -site was that that was all he was going to get. Chances are he's not paying
taxes either.
Patrick: Too bad, it could've paid for the demo.
Toppel: We tried.
Klusczinski: Is there any member of the public wishing to speak in support of the
petition? Any member of the public wishing to speak in opposition? Hearing none both
times, I'll entertain a motion.
Patrick: I'll motion that application 2007 -0405 for 115 E. South Street, the abandoned
house in Taylor's Field local historic district, be demolished.
Riley: Second.
Klusczinski: Any discussion? A vote then? All in favor? (Ayes are heard) All
opposed? (Silence) Motion carries.

Landmark or District Designation: Local Landmark
Rating: Significant
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT: This 1903 Queen Anne was built for
Anna and George Secor. They lived in the house for ten years until it was purchased by Laura and
Thomas Jackson. It remained in the Jackson family until 1952. The house was landmarked in March,
2003. The owner of record was not in residence at that time and it has remained unoccupied. The structure
had been left to deteriorate since 2001 and has been the site of numerous break -ins over the years. There
was a fire in October, 2005. The house went into foreclosure but was sold at a tax sale in 2006.
APPLICATION ITEMS: The house is abandoned. The City of South Bend Code Enforcement
proposes to demolish all the structures, fill the lot and resurface with top soil and seed.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. There was a major fire at this home in October,
2005. Prior to the fire the staff had been unsuccessfully attempting to contact the homeowner, and later
the mortgage company, concerning the deteriorating condition of the exterior of the home. The house
then became the target of thieves, vandals and then arsonists. It was purchased in February, 2006. The
Preservation Specialists from HPC and HLFI attempted to assist the new owner's contractor. The
contractor never affected the repairs. The house has been minimally secured against the elements since
2005; it is now considered abandoned and beyond repair.
Hostetler: Most of the damage is on the interior.
Klusczinski: Is the petitioner here?
Toppel: Catherine Toppel, Director of Code Enforcement, 13` floor, 227 W. Jefferson.
Again, I'm going to pass some photographs around. This situation is a little different
that the previous one that we just spoke about in that our list on this particular property
only goes back to September of 2006. Shortly after afire that was started by what
appears to have been vagrants that were in the home at the time. The property was
purchased at tax sale by Community First LLC of Michigan City. In checking with state
business records, that came back to an Amir Cawley (spelling may not be accurate) of
Gol
817 South Falcon ( ?) in South Bend. I've actually been in contact with him numerous
times. However, I would note that the most recent conversation we had was with a
gentleman by the name of Norman Northcutt, who now was planning to have an interest
in this particular property as well as his own at 115 E South St. I found it odd too. The
interior of the structure is damaged to a point that it is not safe to walk in certain rooms
in the home. Again, for the record, I will submit the order from the Hearing Officer that
was given on December 7, 2006 affirming demolition order. We did have 3 hearings on
the property, on the hopes to get someone at the hearings, the first being October24,
2006, then November 16, 2006, then December 7, 2006, due to the severity of the fire.
Unfortunately, no one responded to any of the hearings. Just so you're certain, we do
have to have proper service at our hearings, but state law, we do have to do certified
mail, return receipt requested, publications, we went above and beyond. Most of you I
don't know so you're not familiar with me, but I have a tendency to not want to demolish.
Even if it's on demolition order, I try to get it repaired before I demolish it. People know
that they can approach me. We do go above and beyond, but we didn't get anything here,
no response except for Mr. Northcutt. He hasn't repaired his house since it burned in
2004; we didn't have high hopes that he was going to repair this one. So, I recommend
your approval. We did take bids on the property, but we have not awarded them yet, until
such time that the C ofA could be issued, Pelley Excavating is the low bidder at this time.
Patrick: What's the cost?
Toppel: This one is $6893.00, which is actually extremely lower than the rest; Pelley
comes in lower because they have a legal dumpsite on their property in Michigan.
Ujdak: Anyone paying property taxes on this one?
Toppel: Again, I don't have the answer to that- I'd sincerely doubt, well, it went up for
tax sale, the taxes would still be current, because it was just acquired in 2006.
Ujdak: So it was current last year?
Klusczinski: Any other Commissioners with questions for the petitioners? Linda?
Riley: Not for the petitioner, but I have a question...
Klusczinski: Any member of the public that would be willing to speak in support of the
current proposal? Hearing none, is there any member of the public wishing to speak in
opposition of the current petition? Also hearing none, any Commission discuss on the
topic?
Riley: I have a question. Why would the HPC landmark this in 2003 when it states that it
had been left to deteriorate since 2001.
Patrick: I can answer that. To try to protect it. Probably. Would I be correct in
assuming that our previous President was instrumental?
Hostetler: Yes, he wanted it land marked.
Klusczinski: So it was some minor deterioration before the fire.
Chase: It was probably savable before that.
Patrick: Philosophically speaking, two Presidents ago, not myself and not Tim felt very
strongly that land marking some endangered structures might yield some protection of
them. In some cases it has, and in some it has failed. So, that's why you have a house in
this condition that was land marked, so in this case it was unsuccessful.
Klusczinski: I'll entertain a motion either in support or denial of the Certificate.
Patrick: I'll make a motion that 2007 -0405A for 1114 Lincoln Way West in favor of
demolition.
Klusczinski: Do I have a second?
Chase: Second.
Klusczinski: All in favor? (Ayes are heard) Opposed? (Silence) Motion carries.

1. President's Report — Tim Klusczinski
At our last meeting (March 19th), I omitted Commissioner Chase from my recollection of
attendees at the DTSB/Indiana Main Street presentation. I offer my apologies for this oversight
and ask the she be properly recorded.
March 24, 2007:
I participated in Restore Michiana at Madison Primary Center as a host and presenter. Though it
was a successful venture, judging from the publics' comments, the effort and coordination were
certainly monumental. My personal thanks go to Catherine Hostetler, Amy Herdman, Wayne
Doolittle, Todd Zeiger, Jennifer Gregar and Paul Hayden for a job well done! An honorable
mention goes to Lynn Patrick, Linda Riley and Mary Jane Chase for their volunteer assistance. I
hope everyone had a great time!
March 27, 2007:
Attended the de- briefing session at HLFI to discuss the evaluations from Restore Michiana and to
strategize about next year's event and location [realizing, that it's not too early to begin planning
for that event].
At this time, President Klusczinski recognized Secretary Zeiger who made a brief report on
Restore Michiana. He reported that 150 people attended (an increase from last year) and with a
concerted effort to identify underwriters, and closely consider raising our price, next year is
already looking very promising. March 1, 2008 has been chosen as a tentative date to be held
again at a historic school, possibly Marquette. Secretary Zeiger thanked everyone for the help
and support and will be sure to include everyone on the planning and brainstorming for next year.
April 10, 2007:
Meeting with Amy Herdman to review the HPC website. Broken and misplaced links as well as
obsolete information was meticulously identified and brought to the attention of John Carlson, St.
Joseph County GIS Coordinator and IT Representative. I am delighted to report that preliminary
corrections and deletions were remedied later that day. John also assured me that HPC
submissions to the site would be posted in a timely manner. These especially include our 2007
public meeting schedule and newsletter publications. Currently an effort is underway to revise
(and pretty) the entire County website. I intend to stay in close contact with Amy [ Herdman],
John and his associates to relay any future and noticeable progress.
Email Exchanges:
Recently, I've observed an improvement in the transfer electronic exchanges between my email
client and the staffs county email addresses. However, it was conveyed to me that glitches still
exist for information exchanged between the County and City servers. As a fail -safe measure an
alternate mail address (hpc1973 @gmail.com) was created to assure open intra - departmental
communications.
2. Landmarks Committee — Chair, Linda Riley
No report.
3. Southhold Awards Breakfast — Director Hostetler
Reservations are being received. At the time of the meeting, approximately 12 had come in. The
keynote, Bill Latoza is confirmed and will be arriving in South Bend on Friday, May 4 for a tour
of Marquette in advance of his talk. Marquette Principal and Director Hostetler have confirmed
the time and details of the visit.
IV. OLD BUSINESS
V. NEW BUSINESS
Assistant Director Herdman informed Commissioners that she'd been awarded an NEA tuition
scholarship (valued at $525.00) to attend 2 NPI Workshops scheduled for May 7 -9, 2007 in
Greensboro, NC. The subject matter will be Cemetery Preservation and Cemetery Landscapes.
AD Herdman requested that in lieu of attendance at Cornelius O'Brien, those funds be used for
associated travel expenses for the NPI workshops. After a discussion about subject matter, the
availability of programming using the skills/knowledge learned, Commissioners moved to
approve up to $500.00 in travel/accommodations expenses.
