STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: B. BUILDING SITE, LANDSCAPING & ACCESSORIES This section focuses on individual properties and amenities. Building sites tend to be irregularly shaped, of varying topography and with different setbacks with regard to plots. Alleys are generally behind houses. Landscape accessories like fences are unique to each structure. Chapin Place presents a unique situation within the district. Applications from properties that have property lines on Chapin Place will be considered on a case -by -case basis. Required Fencing, walkways, outbuildings, private yard lights, signs (i.e. house numbers) and benches (visible from the street) as well as trees located in a yard or tree lawn which reflect the property's history and development shall be retained. A tree located in such areas shall only be removed if the removal is required due to storm damage, disease, threatened damage to a structure or for such other reason acceptable to the Historic Preservation Commission. Storm damaged or diseased trees should then be replaced with an approved species at the same or approximate location wherever possible. Fencing visible from the street in front of the structure shall be open V (meaning spaces between the pickets) and consistent with the historic character of a structure enclosed. Recommended New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in photographs, drawings and newspapers. New site work should also be appropriate to existing surrounding site elements in scale, type and appearance. Front yard areas should remain open. (See above for information regarding fences.) Trees in close proximity to a building may cause structural damage. Owners are encouraged to remove these trees and replace (or replant) them at a more appropriate location as soon as planting season permits and upon approval of a C of A. Prohibited No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings or other elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and development Front yard areas shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped, nor enclosed by solid fences, chain link, nor industrial /commercial style fences. The installation of unsightly large devices, such as television satellite dishes, skylights or solar panels, shall not be permitted in areas where they detract from the architecture of a building are - intrusive to the public view of the building or are highly visibly from a public street, or ruled inappropriate after Commission review. Utility poles with high - intensity overhead lights should be installed so that they cannot be seen from a street. The Commission will evaluate all installations as well as any potential exceptions resulting from special circumstances, before granting a C of A. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. 1 f Application - FOR - Certificate of Appropriateness Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend & St. Joseph County 125 S.

The original wooden porch has been replaced by concrete. APPLICATION ITEMS: Build an approximately 283 square feet second storey addition for a master bedroom and closet above an existing one - storey addition on the rear of the house to match exterior appearance, per attached drawings. New addition was designed to make house fit its historical period better, given previous addition. See Drawings 1 -5 DISCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The homeowners wish to add a rear, gabled second storey on top of a non - original first storey addition to create more interior space to accommodate a master bedroom and bathroom. The exterior of the addition will be finished with wood siding and trims to match the original house along with gutters and downspouts and aluminum fascia. See Exhibits A &B STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: III. NEW CONSTRUCTION New construction includes any new building or structure built within the boundaries of the historic district, or any new addition to an existing building. New construction should be designed considering the appearance, scale, styles and setbacks of the other buildings in the neighborhood. New work may be contemporary or may suggest motifs from historic buildings in the district. A. HEIGHT AND PROPORTION The majority of the structures in the district are two stories in height and have square or rectangular plans. There are several houses that have L- or T- shaped or rambling ground plans. There are a few single -story cottages and one- and one - and -a- half -story bungalows. The most prevalent fagade proportions are between a 1:1 and 1:2 height to width ratio. Required The height of a new structure and its height to width proportions shall be consistent with adjacent buildings in the district. The building height shall be no greater than that of the tallest existing structure and no less than that of the lowest existing structure in the same block. Fagade proportion shall be established by permitting no structure with a fagade wider or narrower than those existing in the same block. Additions to existing buildings shall be related in height and proportion to the existing structure. Recommended Design of new construction should be compatible in character and mood to the building or neighborhood. Prohibited Additions that would add new height or change the existing fagade of a building, and change its scale and architectural character shall not be constructed. Not Recommended New stories should not be added nor existing stories be removed which would destroy important architectural details, features and spaces of the building. Any style or period of architecture that is incompatible with the existing should not be permitted in the new additions. B. BUILDING MATERIALS Wall materials in the district range from brick, stucco and wood clapboard and shingles, to aluminum, vinyl and fiberboard/composite siding. Required Exterior materials used on a new structure shall be compatible in scale, texture and color (as pertains to masonry) with adjacent structures. Materials used on an addition to an existing structure shall relate to the existing or original materials of that structure. Also, as much of the original structure as possible shall be retained so that the addition could be removed without damage to the basic structure and appearance of the building. Recommended Alternative or composite siding may be used when it is the only feasible alternative. This siding should be compatible with the original size and style and with the materials of other buildings in the district. Prohibited Inappropriate materials such as asbestos, asphalt, cast stone or artificial brick shall not be used. Not Recommended Glass blocks should not be used. Concrete block should not be used for anything other than the foundations. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. The new second storey addition will be built on top of a non - contributing later addition to the original house. Although the addition will be visible from the street there will be no original architectural features obscured by the addition. The addition, as presented, will restore scale and balance to the rear of the house and will be finished to match the exterior of the original house.

Patrick Lyden Landmark or District Designation: Local Landmark &Chapin Park LHD/NR Rating: Outstanding DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: Hodson's Castle is an elaborate 2 %z storey Queen Anne with an irregular floor plan set on a foundation built from "Notre Dame" yellow brick. The first s tore y finished wi th _narrow wood clapboards w hile the second storey has rounded and diamond shaped shingles. The two storeys are divided by a belt course of vertical siding and elaborately trimmed. The hip roof has gable dormers along with tower and bays with mansard wrapping around the rear corner. There are detailed carvings at roof edges and dormers. There is a corner tower with overhanging chamfered corner supported by two spindle columns. The window openings are simple double hung sashes with pilaster trim and carved corner blocks. The front door way are panel wood double leaf doors with single light and multi -pane over and below -with a stained glass transom ALTERATIONS: The tower has been shortened. The verandah was been removed and replaced with two porches leading to the main entrance and the east side entrance. APPLICATION ITEMS: The brick foundation repair will be completed by Russ Luchie of Slatile Masonry Restoration. The existing compromised and cracking brick will be repaired using new load bearing brick masonry reinforcing and strengthening the foundation wall on the exterior. Next a "historically correct" lime putty artisan masonry parge coat will be applied to the brick leaving a smooth surface with a yellowish cast. A raised bead mortar detail will be added to the lime putty coat to give the effect and look of traditional brick. New gutters ill be installed by Ernie Barany of E.J. Barany. The new gutters will be seamless aluminum with a K -style profile that will complement the existing molding at the'roof line. DISCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The homeowners have engaged Mr. Luchies of Slatile. He proposes to remove the outer layer of bricks from the foundation . and replace them with load bearing bricks. The interior bricks will remain. A parge coating of lime putty will be'applied over the new bricks to allow for the proper vapor transition. This work will be completed in stages along the entire perimeter of the house. The installation of seamless K -style gutters is proposed to complement the architectural features of the rooflines and prevent further water damage to the structure and foundation. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: II. EXISTING STRUCTURES A. BUILDING MATERIALS Original exterior building materials in the district include brick, stucco, clapboard, wood shingles, and brick or stone masonry. In some instances, vinyl, composite and aluminum siding have been applied over the original material. Required Original exterior building materials shall be retained when possible. Deterioration of wood materials shall be prevented through repair, cleaning and painting. The existing architectural detail around windows, porches, doors and eaves shall be retained or replaced by replicas of the same design when deteriorated beyond repair. Masonry, including brick and stucco structures, shall be maintained, and properly cleaned only when necessary to halt deterioration or to remove stains and shall be done in a method acceptable for the preservation of the surface: i.e. low- pressure water and soft natural bristle brushes. Brick or masonry mortar joints should be repointed only when there is evidence of moisture problems, or when sufficient mortar is missing to allow water to stand in the mortar joint. Existing mortar shall be duplicated in composition, color, texture, joint size, method of application and joint profile. When repairing stucco, stucco mixture shall be used. A professional shall make a study of the old stucco, to determine the exact mixture and underlayment used in the original work. Some repair methods are not compatible with the original techniques and may cause early disintegration of the repair work and the original work. Ample ventilation must be afforded the structure when siding is installed, in order to prevent increased deterioration of the structure from moisture and insects. Recommended Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored. When maintaining or repairing original siding is not feasible, aluminum, vinyl or composite siding may be used. When used over wood surfaces, this siding should be the same size and style as the original wood. Every effort should be made to retain the original trim around windows, doors, cornices, gables, eaves and other architectural features. Property owners should contact the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County prior to initiating any restoration or rehabilitation effort. [Address and contact information is listed in the front of the Guidebook.] The Commission is an invaluable source of information about all facets of rehabilitation and restoration — materials, methods, contractors and the like. Prohibited Wood siding shall not be resurfaced with new material that is inappropriate or was unavailable when the building was constructed, such as artificial stone, brick veneer, asbestos or asphalt shingles. Sandblasting or the use of harsh detergents shall not be used on masonry including brick, stucco, limestone, flagstone and sandstone. This method of cleaning erodes the surface material and accelerates deterioration. Repointing shall not be done with a mortar of high Portland cement content which can often create a bond that is stronger than the building material. Usage of Portland cement can cause deterioration as a result of the differing coefficient of expansion and porosity of the historic masonry unit and the mortar. This most often results in serious damage to adjacent brick. Unpainted masonry surfaces shall not be painted unless they had been painted originally. Paint shall not be removed from masonry surfaces by any means that damage the surface. Not Recommended Waterproof or water repellent coatings or surface consolidation treatments should not be used on masonry surfaces unless required to solve a specific problem that has been studied and identified. Coatings are frequently unnecessary and expensive, and can accelerate deterioration of the masonry. Mortar joints, which do not need re- pointing, should not be re- pointed. Wood siding should not be power- washed. M STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. Proper foundation work is crucial to the stability and preservation of this land- marked home. The solution proposed is a 'long lasting one and will allow the foundation system to breathe and halt further interior deterioration. The addition of the K -style gutter system will also improve the prospects of the foundation work and improve the condition of the wooden exterior walls.

STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: Portions of each standard and guideline relevant to this application appears in bold italic print. III. NEW CONSTRUCTION New construction includes any new building or structure constructed within the boundaries of the historic district, or any new addition to an existing building. New construction should be designed considering the appearance of the other buildings in the neighborhood. A. HEIGHT AND PROPORTION The majority of structures in the district are two stories high and are square, rectangular, or irregular in plan. There are a few story-and -a -half residences. The prevalent facade proportions are between a 1:1 and a 1:2 height -to -width ratio. Required The height of a new structure and its height -to -width proportions shall be consistent with adjacent buildings in the district. The building height shall be no greater than that of the tallest existing structure and no less than that of the lowest existing structure of the same type in the same block. Facade proportions shall be established by permitting no structure with a facade wider or narrower than those existing in the same block. Additions to existing buildings shall be related in height and proportion to the existing structure. Recommended Contemporary designs should be compatible in character and mood to the building or neighborhood Prohibited Additions may not be constructed that would change the existing facade of a building, alter its scale or architectural character, or add new height. B. BUILDING SITE, LANDSCAPING & ACCESSORIES This section focuses on individual properties and amenities. Building sites tend to be irregularly shaped, of varying topography and with different setbacks with regard to plots. Alleys are generally behind houses. Landscape accessories like fences are unique to each structure. Chapin Place presents a unique situation within the district. Applications from properties that have property lines on Chapin Place will be considered on a case -by -case basis. Required Fencing, walkways, outbuildings, private yard lights, signs (i.e. house numbers) and benches (visible from the street) as well as trees located in a yard or tree lawn which reflect the property's history and development shall be retained. A tree located in such areas shall only be removed if the removal is required due to storm damage, disease, threatened damage to a structure or for such other reason acceptable to the Historic Preservation Commission. Storm damaged or diseased trees should then be replaced with an approved species at the same or approximate location wherever possible. Fencing visible from the street in front of the structure shall be open (meaning spaces between the pickets) and consistent with the historic character of a structure enclosed Recommended New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in photographs, drawings and newspapers. New site work should also be appropriate to existing surrounding site elements in scale, type and appearance. Front yard areas should remain open. (See above for information regarding fences.) Trees in close proximity to a building may cause structural damage. Owners are encouraged to remove these trees and replace (or replant)them at a more appropriate location as soon as planting season permits and upon approval of a C of A. Prohibited No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings or other elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and development. Front yard areas shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped, nor enclosed by solid fences, chain link, nor industrial/commercial style fences. The_ installation of-unsightly laige-devices, such-as.television -satellite- dishes, skylights or solar panels, shall not be permitted in areas where they detract from the architecture of a building, are - intrusive to the public view of the building or are highly visibly from a public street, or ruled inappropriate after Commission review. Utility poles with high - intensity overhead lights should be installed so that they cannot be seen from a street. The Commission will evaluate all installations as well as any potential exceptions resulting from special circumstances, before granting a C of A. D. ENTRANCES, PORCHES AND STEPS Most houses in the district have either an open or enclosed porch across the front. Most porches have either hip or gabled roofs are covered by the main roof of the house. Required When deteriorated beyond repair, existing or original porches, stoops, patios and steps, including handrails, balusters, columns, brackets, tiles and roof decorations, shall be retained or replaced by replicas of the same design or by a design more in keeping with the historic period of the structure. Porches and additions reflecting later architectural styles and which are important to the building's historical integrity shall be retained. Recommended When enclosing porches for heat conservation or for other reasons, it should be done in a manner that does not alter the architectural or historical character of the building. Prohibited Front porches, stoops, patios and steps that are important to the building's style and development shall not be altered or removed; if in need of replacement, see above Required section. See also Section IV B. Access for Handicapped or Disabled Persons. Not Recommended Original porch details should not be replaced with materials representing a different period or style from the original. B. BUILDING MATERIALS Wall materials in the district include brick, stucco, half - timbering, stone, clapboard, shingle, and metal and vinyl siding. Required Exterior materials used on a new structure shall be compatible in scale, texture and color with adjacent structures. Materials used on an addition to an existing structure shall relate to the existing or original materials of that structure. As much of the original structure as possible shall be retained so that the addition could be removed without damage to the basic structure and appearance of the building. Recommended Metal or vinyl siding may be used when it is the only feasible alternative. This siding should be compatible with the original size and style and with the materials of other buildings in the district. Prohibited Inappropriate materials such as asbestos, asphalt, molded or artificial stone, or artificial brick shall not be used. Not Recommended Glass blocks should not be used. Concrete block should not be used for anything other than foundations. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. Plans are compliant with the standards and guidelines highlighted above, and do not contradict said standards and guidelines in any consideration; including scale and materials. Also, no changes are being proposed to the appearance of the fagade visible from Lamonte Terrace - the deck, modifications to the non - original bump out/enclosed porch, change in fence material, and installation of new garage doors are all to be done on the back of the existing structure. Petitioner has agreed to store the one original feature ((1) window) being removed to facilitate this project.

The house was built in 1903 at " id is classified a Free Classic in the latest survey; Queen Anne on tile, 1986 suR•e) card. It is located in the West Washington National Register District. This house proper is basically unaltered and has its original clapboards, trim, windows and doors. Its exterior has been re-conditioned and re-painted.

File interior of the home was restored to its original condition as well by Mr. Hayden I lk t. • 0 Request to landmark 111 Office received a letter from Elizabeth Lauber dateNfily (March) 15 200 requesting that her property located at 103- East'Waync`305 S. Eddy be placed on the historic preservation register (land-niarked per conversations). The property is currently located in the Howard Park National Register District and rated survey as Contributing in the 2005 City Survey. The gable front housc teas built is 1882 of common bond yellow brick on a cut fieldstone foundation. On the September 1988 survey card it was noted that the original porch was removed and replaced with a concrete stoop and steps with a metal railing. TIIQ W Indows and door.-; hive also been replaced with modern material. - [*here was a modern entrance andziddition to the east side fthe was added on the west side. 'file alterations were noted can the survey-card as Major. When staff visited the site it Nvas noted that the original window openinus in the foundation ' idation had been bricked tip with matching yellow brick. So, although tile building is 127 nears old and built from Notre Dame brick there is nothing in its architectural style or construction method that would warrant a change in its rating to Notable or Outstanding.

Thursday, April 9, 2009 Leeper Park Landscaping Meeting with John Martinez of the South Bend Parks Department John and I met at Leeper Park East to discuss his plans for the sunken rose garden. John understands that he cannot reintroduce the water feature with the statuary and is trying to find a solution to the reflecting pool. He would like to repaint and replant it and then add a cement bench to the east end to match the one on the west end. He would like to repaint the west concrete bench. John also wants to re- create the pathways in the rose garden. He wants to use pea gravel and create paths edged in metal. He also wondered why more people didn't use that section of the Park. I mentioned the whine from the water works pumps posed too much of a distraction and caused minor hearing/ear irritation. I suggested that possibly the Water Works could put fencing and shrubbery around these pumps to deflect/deaden the noise. There shouldn't be a problem with this application since it will recreate the paths that were there in the past. We walked over to Western Leeper to survey the remnants of formal garden beds near the Duck Pond. The formal flower beds on the North/South axis that flank the tree alee need to be completely replanted and restored. There is a smaller circular bed in middle that is off center and out of scale with the flanking flower beds. John proposes to re- center and enlarge the circular flower bed, restore the missing flanking bed and re- plant. We discussed using bulbs planted for continuous color and display though out spring - autumn. John said that they would put the project out for bid and mentioned using Foegley and Ginger Valley in the bidding process. I suggested that the actual planting could be done using volunteers either from the surrounding historic districts and/or Master Gardeners through the Purdue Extension in the County City Building. I also suggested using blood meal on the bulbs to deter the squirrels from eating the bulbs. John also wanted to know if picnic tables could be used near the Duck Pond. These tables would be seasonal, not permanently fixed and allow for more usage of the Park. I didn't think that they would pose a problem. I related to John that I didn't think that re- storing these flower beds would require COA approval by the Commission since he was restoring an original and documented feature even though the specific original plantings may not be known. I will research the 1910 -1940 annual reports of the City of South Bend and the Park Commission for guidance. We walked back to East Leeper and examined the Garden of Fragrance and what could be done to salvage that feature. John mentioned that this would not be addressed this year and that he was dealing only with a portion of the 2 -3 years of grant money that was allotted for Leeper Park that still required Phil St. Claire's approval. We looked over what was left of the Garden of Fragrance and also the "stage' area in front of the brick pump house. I mentioned that people had used this spot for out door weddings and John thought that planting shrubbery and floral displays that would bloom from May though July would be an option. There was also a stacked limestone retaining wall that would need to be repaired and the whine from the near by pump to be addressed. Catherine D. Hostetler, Director CITY OF SOUTH BEND, ST.

DISCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Per diagram provided (See attached B) by the homeowners the new 4' Western Picket Fence will replace the current fence in the same location. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: B. BUILDING SITE, LANDSCAPING & ACCESSORIES This section focuses on individual properties and amenities. Building sites tend to be irregularly shaped, of varying topography and with different setbacks with regard to plots. Alleys are generally behind houses. Landscape accessories like fences are unique to each structure. Chapin Place presents a unique situation within the district. Applications from properties that have property -lines -on- Chapin -Place will be considered on -a case -by- case basis. Required Fencing, walkways, outbuildings, private yard lights, signs (i.e. house numbers) and benches (visible from the street) as well as trees located in a yard or tree lawn which reflect the property's history and development shall be retained. A tree located in such areas shall only be removed if the removal is required due to storm damage, disease, threatened damage to a structure or for such other reason acceptable to the Historic Preservation Commission. Storm damaged or diseased trees should then be replaced with an approved species at the same or approximate location wherever possible. Fencing visible from the street in front of the structure shall be open (meaning spaces between the pickets) and consistent with the historic character of a structure enclosed. Recommended New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in photographs, drawings and newspapers. New site work should also be appropriate to existing surrounding site elements in scale, type and appearance. Front yard areas should remain open. (See above for information regarding fences.) Trees in close proximity to a building may cause structural damage. Owners are encouraged to remove these trees and replace (or replant) them at a more appropriate location as soon as planting season permits and upon approval of a C of A. Prohibited No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings or other elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and development Front yard areas shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped, nor enclosed by solid fences, chain link, nor industrial/commercial style fences. The installation of unsightly large devices, such as television satellite dishes, skylights or solar panels, shall not be permitted in areas where they detract from the architecture of a building are intrusive to the public view of the building or are highly visibly from a public street, or ruled inappropriate after Commission review. Utility poles with high- intensity overhead lights should be installed so that they cannot be seen from a street. The Commission will evaluate all installations as well as any potential exceptions resulting from special circumstances, before granting a C of A. 2 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. President Klusczsinski called for COA #2009 -0403 to be amended to correct a typographical error. On a motion by Linda Riley with a second by David Sassano the Staff reported was corrected to reflect a 6 foot fence. The motion passed unanimously. On a motion by Linda Riley with a second by David Sassano the Commission voted unanimously to approve COA #2009- 0403 as amended. STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: April 6, 2009 Application Number: 2009 -0406A Property Location: 809 Forest Architectural Style/Date /Architect or Builder: American Foursquare /1890 - Property- Owner: Elaine -and -Bobby-Meyer-Lec Landmark or District Designation: Chapin Park LHD Rating: Contributing DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: The home is a two storey with an irregular floor plan set upon a brick foundation. The roof is hipped with side gables and cornice returns and covered with asphalt shingles. The chimney is slightly offset with corbelled brick. The exterior walls are 4 1/2" wood clapboard with frieze and moulded cornice and corner boards there is a full width front porch with four slender turned spindle columns, a concrete floor and moulded cornice. The windows are 1/1 double hung with moulded entablatures. ALTERATIONS: The rear porch was enclosed and a one storey addition built onto the rear of the house. A bay window was added to the west side of the house. The barn noted in the 1987 survey card has burned. There are aluminum storm windows and a new roof. The original wooden porch has been replaced by concrete. APPLICATION ITEMS: Build an approximately 283 square feet second storey addition for a master bedroom and closet above an existing one - storey addition on the rear of the house to match exterior appearance, per attached drawings. New addition was designed to make house fit its historical period better, given previous addition. See Drawings 1 -5 DISCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The homeowners wish to add a rear, gabled second storey on top of a non - original first storey addition to create more interior space to accommodate a master bedroom and bathroom. The exterior of the addition will be finished with wood siding and trims to match the original house along with gutters and downspouts and aluminum fascia. See Exhibits A &B STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: III. NEW CONSTRUCTION 3 New construction includes any new building or structure built within the boundaries of the historic district, or any new addition to an existing building. New construction should be designed considering the appearance, scale, styles and setbacks of the other buildings in the neighborhood. New work may be contemporary or may suggest motifs from historic buildings in the district. A. HEIGHT AND PROPORTION The majority of the structures in the district are two stories in height and have square or rectangular plans. There are several houses that have L- or T- shaped or rambling ground plans. There are a few single -story cottages and one- and one - and -a- half -story bungalows. The most prevalent fagade proportions are between a 1:1 and 1:2 heights to width ratio. Required The height of a new structure and its height to width proportions shall be consistent with adjacent buildings in the district. The building height shall be no greater than that of the tallest existing structure and no less than that of the lowest existing structure in the same block. Fagade proportion shall be established by permitting no structure with a fagade wider or narrower than those existing in the same block. Additions to existing buildings shall be related in height and proportion to the existing structure. Recommended Design of new construction- should be compatible -in - character and mood or neighborhood. Prohibited Additions that would add new height or change the existing fagade of a building, and change its scale and architectural character shall not be constructed. Not Recommended New stories should not be added nor existing stories be removed which would destroy important architectural details, features and spaces of the building. Any style or period of architecture that is incompatible with the existing should not be permitted in the new additions. B. BUILDING MATERIALS Wall materials in the district range from brick, stucco and wood clapboard and shingles, to aluminum, vinyl and fiberboard/composite siding. Required Exterior materials used on a new structure shall be compatible in scale, texture and color (as pertains to masonry) with adjacent structures. Materials used on an addition to an existing structure shall relate to the existing or original materials of that structure. Also, as much of the original structure as possible shall be retained so that the addition could be removed without damage to the basic structure and appearance of the building. Recommended Alternative or composite siding may be used when it is the only feasible alternative. This siding should be compatible with the original size and style and with the materials of other buildings in the district. Prohibited Inappropriate materials such as asbestos, asphalt, cast stone or artificial brick shall not be used. Not Recommended Glass blocks should not be used. Concrete block should not be used for anything other than the foundations. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. The new second storey addition will be built on top of a non - contributing later addition to the original house. Although the addition will be visible from the street there will be no original architectural features obscured by 4 the addition. The addition, as presented, will restore scale and balance to the rear of the house and will be finished to match the exterior of the original house. President Klusczinski requested that COA #2009 -0406A be amended to reflect the substitution of wood for aluminum in the treatment of the fascia, the new windows would be 1/1 aluminum clad wood and the addition of wooden trim and crowns on the new window surrounds. On a motion by Linda Riley with a second by David Sassano the commission unanimously approved COA #2009- 0406A as amended. STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: April 7, 2009 Application Number: 2009 -0406C Property Location: 723 Park Avenue Architectural Style/Date /Architect or Builder: Queen Anne /1889/ Property- Owner: -Rita -and J.- Patrick-Lyden Landmark or District Designation: Local Landmark &Chapin Park LHD/NR Rating: Outstanding DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: Hodson's Castle is an elaborate 2 %z storey Queen Anne with an irregular floor plan set on a foundation built from "Notre Dame" yellow brick. The first storey if finished with narrow wood clapboards while the second storey has rounded and diamond shaped shingles. The two stories are divided by a belt course of vertical siding and elaborately trimmed. The hip roof has gable dormers along with tower and bays with mansard wrapping around the rear corner. There are detailed carvings at roof edges and dormers. There is a corner tower with overhanging chamfered corner supported by two spindle columns. The window openings are simple double hung sashes with pilaster trim and carved corner blocks. The front door way are panel wood double leaf doors with single light and multi -pane over and below with a stained glass transom ALTERATIONS: The tower has been shortened. The verandah was been removed and replaced with two porches leading to the main entrance and the east side entrance. APPLICATION ITEMS: The brick foundation repair will be completed by Russ Luchie of Slatile Masonry Restoration. The existing compromised and cracking brick will be repaired using new load bearing brick masonry reinforcing and strengthening the foundation wall on the exterior. Next a "historically correct" lime putty artisan masonry parge coat will be applied to the brick leaving a smooth surface with a yellowish cast. A raised bead mortar detail will be added to the lime putty coat to give the effect and look of traditional brick. New gutters ill be installed by Ernie Barany of E.J. Barany. The new gutters will be seamless aluminum with a K -style profile that will complement the existing molding at the roof line. DISCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The homeowners have engaged Mr. Luchies of Slatile. He proposes to remove the outer layer of bricks from the foundation and replace them with load bearing bricks. The interior bricks will remain. A parge W coating of lime putty will be applied over the new bricks to allow for the proper vapor transition. This work will be completed in stages along the entire perimeter of the house. The installation of seamless K -style gutters is proposed to complement the architectural features of the rooflines and prevent further water damage to the structure and foundation. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: II. EXISTING STRUCTURES A. BUILDING MATERIALS Original exterior building materials in the district include brick, stucco, clapboard, wood shingles, and brick or stone masonry. In some instances, vinyl, composite and aluminum siding have been applied over the original material. Required Original exterior building materials shall be retained when possible. Deterioration of wood materials shall be prevented through repair, cleaning and painting. The existing architectural detail around windows, porches, doors and eaves shall be retained or replaced by replicas of the same design when deteriorated beyond repair. Masonry,- including- brick - and - stucco structures,- shall- be- maintained,-and properly- cleaned -only when necessary to halt deterioration or to remove stains and shall be done in a method acceptable for the preservation of the surface: i.e. low- pressure water and soft natural bristle brushes. Brick or masonry mortar joints should be repointed only when there is evidence of moisture problems, or when sufficient mortar is missing to allow water to stand in the mortar joint. Existing mortar shall be duplicated in composition, color, texture, joint size, method of application and joint profile. When repairing stucco, stucco mixture shall be used. A professional shall make a study of the old stucco, to determine the exact mixture and underlayment used in the original work. Some repair methods are not compatible with the original techniques and may cause early disintegration of the repair work and the original work. Ample ventilation must be afforded the structure when siding is installed, in order to prevent increased deterioration of the structure from moisture and insects. Recommended Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored. When maintaining or repairing original siding is not feasible, aluminum, vinyl or composite siding may be used. When used over wood surfaces, this siding should be the same size and style as the original wood. Every effort should be made to retain the original trim around windows, doors, cornices, gables, eaves and other architectural features. Property owners should contact the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County prior to initiating any restoration or rehabilitation effort. [Address and contact information is listed in the front of the Guidebook.] The Commission is an invaluable source of information about all facets of rehabilitation and restoration — materials, methods, contractors and the like. Prohibited Wood siding shall not be resurfaced with new material that is inappropriate or was unavailable when the building was constructed, such as artificial stone, brick veneer, asbestos or asphalt shingles. Sandblasting or the use of harsh detergents shall not be used on masonry including brick, stucco, limestone, flagstone and sandstone. This method of cleaning erodes the surface material and accelerates deterioration. Repointing shall not be done with a mortar of high Portland cement content which can often create a bond that is stronger than the building material. Usage of Portland cement can cause 10 deterioration as a result of the differing coefficient of expansion and porosity of the historic masonry unit and the mortar. This most often results in serious damage to adjacent brick. Unpainted masonry surfaces shall not be painted unless they had been painted originally. Paint shall not be removed from masonry surfaces by any means that damage the surface. Not Recommended Waterproof or water repellent coatings or surface consolidation treatments should not be used on masonry surfaces unless required to solve a specific problem that has been studied and identified. Coatings are frequently unnecessary and expensive, and can accelerate deterioration of the masonry. Mortar joints, which do not need re- pointing, should not be re- pointed. Wood siding should not be power- washed. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. Proper foundation work is crucial to the stability and preservation of this land- marked home. The solution proposed is a long lasting one and will allow the foundation system to breathe and halt further interior deterioration. The addition of the K -style gutter system will also improve the prospects of the foundation work and improve the condition of the wooden exterior walls.

NEW CONSTRUCTION New construction includes any new building or structure constructed within the boundaries of the historic district, or any new addition to an existing building. New construction should be designed considering the appearance of the other buildings in the neighborhood. A. HEIGHT AND PROPORTION The majority of structures in the district are two stories high and are square, rectangular, or irregular in plan. There are a few story- and -a -half residences. The prevalent facade proportions are between a 1:1 and a 1:2 height -to -width ratio. Required The height of a new structure and its height -to -width proportions shall be consistent with adjacent buildings in the district. The building height shall be no greater than that of the tallest existing structure and no less than that of the lowest existing structure of the same type in the same block. Facade proportions shall be established by permitting no structure with a facade wider or narrower than those existing in the same block. Additions to existing buildings shall be related in height and proportion to the existing structure. Recommended Contemporary designs should be compatible in character and mood to the building or neighborhood. Prohibited E:3 Additions may not be constructed that would change the existing facade of a building, alter its, scale or architectural character, or add new height. B. BUILDING SITE, LANDSCAPING & ACCESSORIES This section focuses on individual properties and amenities. Building sites tend to be irregularly shaped, of varying topography and with different setbacks with regard to plots. Alleys are generally behind houses. Landscape accessories like fences are unique to each structure. Chapin Place presents a unique situation within the district. Applications from properties that have property lines on Chapin Place will be considered on a case -by -case basis. Required Fencing, walkways, outbuildings, private yard lights, signs (i.e. house numbers) and benches (visible from the street) as well as trees located in a yard or tree lawn which reflect the property's history and development shall be retained. A tree located in such areas shall only be removed if the removal is required due to storm damage, disease, threatened damage to a structure or for such other reason acceptable to the Historic Preservation Commission. Storm damaged or diseased trees should then be replaced with an approved species at the same or approximate location wherever possible. Fencing visible from the street - in front of the shall be - open (meaning between - tho pickets) and consistent with the historic character of a structure enclosed. Recommended New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in photographs, drawings and newspapers. New site work should also be appropriate to existing surrounding site elements in scale, type and appearance. Front yard areas should remain open. (See above for information regarding fences.) Trees in close proximity to a building may cause structural damage. Owners are encouraged to remove these trees and replace (or replant)them at a more appropriate location as soon as planting season permits and upon approval ofaCofA. Prohibited No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings or other elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and development. Front yard areas shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped, nor enclosed by solid fences, chain link, nor industrial/commercial style fences. The installation of unsightly large devices, such as television satellite dishes, skylights or solar panels, shall not be permitted in areas where they detract from the architecture of a building, are intrusive to the public view of the building or are highly visibly from a public street, or ruled inappropriate after Commission review. Utility poles with high- intensity overhead lights should be installed so that they cannot be seen from a street. The Commission will evaluate all installations as well as any potential exceptions resulting from special circumstances, before granting a C of A. D. ENTRANCES, PORCHES AND STEPS Most houses in the district have either an open or enclosed porch across the front. Most porches have either hip or gabled roofs or are covered by the main roof of the house. Required When deteriorated beyond repair, existing or original porches, stoops, patios and steps, including handrails, balusters, columns, brackets, tiles and roof decorations, shall be retained or replaced by replicas of the same design or by a design more in keeping with the historic period of the structure. Porches and additions reflecting later architectural styles and which are important to the building's historical integrity shall be retained. Recommended E When enclosing porches for heat conservation or for other reasons, it should be done in a manner that does not alter the architectural or historical character of the building. Prohibited Front porches, stoops, patios and steps that are important to the building's style and development shall not be altered or removed; if in need of replacement, see above Required section. See also Section IV B. Access for Handicapped or Disabled Persons. Not Recommended Original porch details should not be replaced with materials representing a'different period or style from the original. B. BUILDING MATERIALS Wall materials in the district include brick, stucco, half - timbering, stone, clapboard, shingle, and metal and vinyl siding. Required Exterior materials used on a new structure shall be compatible in scale, texture and color with adjacent structures. Materials used on an addition to an existing structure shall relate to the existing or original materials of that structure. As much of the original structure as possible shall be so that - the - addition could be removed without damage to the basic structure - and appearance of the building. Recommended Metal or vinyl siding may be used when it is the only feasible alternative. This siding should be compatible with the original size and style and with the materials of other buildings in the district. Prohibited Inappropriate materials such as asbestos, asphalt, molded or artificial stone, or artificial brick shall not be used. Not Recommended Glass blocks should not be used. Concrete block should not be used for anything other than foundations. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. Plans are compliant with the standards and guidelines highlighted above, and do not contradict said standards and guidelines in any consideration; including scale and materials. Also, no changes are being proposed to the appearance of the fagade visible from Lamonte Terrace - the deck, modifications to the non - original bump outtenclosed porch, change in fence material, and installation of new garage doors are all to be done on the back of the existing structure. Petitioner has agreed to store the one original feature ((1) window) being removed to facilitate this project. On a motion by Todd Zeiger with a second by Linda Riley the Commissioners unanimously approved COA #2009- 0406D. Note: The HPC is aware that the CFB (HardiePlank ®) is not an in -kind material choice that, for now, is only being applied to the rear of the structure (and therefore not visible from the street). The petitioner was cautioned that the approval of this C of A should not be understood as an automatic approval/endorsement for its use in other locations. The petitioner was made aware that future projects and material choices would be subject to separate consideration. 10 REGULAR BUSINESS: The Minutes from March16, 2009 were approved by consensus. The Location Report/Treasurer's Report was submitted for the record. Correspondence since the last meeting were letters from Dr. Elizabeth Lauber requesting the land- marking of 305 S. Eddy and from Dr. and Mrs. Holm requesting the land - marking of 113 Laurel. The Director's Report along with a synopsis of the April 9 meeting with John Martinez concerning the landscaping at Leeper Park and Assistant Director's Report were circulated and submitted. There was no report from Legal. The President's Report was given orally. President Klusczinski met with Staff and Mary Jesse on March 27 concerning the design of the HPC logo and he attended the March 30 In- Service De- Briefing at the HPC Office. New Business consisted of consideration of land- marking requests for 305 S. Eddy and 113 Laurel and allowing the Staff latitude for staff approval of fencing as long as the materials, i.e. wood replacing wood, and the location were the same. Todd also stated that he would perform a review the land- marked structures in South Bend and report to the Committee or to the Commission by late summer Assistant Director Amy Minnick volunteered to assist in-that project.. On a motion by Todd Zeiger with a second by Timothy Klusczinski the Commissioners voted 4 ayes and 1 nayin favor of pursuing local landmark designation of 305 S. Eddy. On a motion by Todd Zeiger with a second by Jerry Nezgodski the Commissioners voted unanimously in favor of pursuing local landmark designation of 113 Laurel. On a motion by David Sassano with a second byJerryNezgodski the Commissioners voted 4 to 1 to have the Landmarks Committee work with the Staff on the two properties and to receive Todd's analysis of the land- marked inventory. After a brief discussion the Commissioners voted unanimously on a motion by David Sassano with a second by Todd Zeiger to allow Staff to approve rear yard replacement fencing with in -kind fencing materials, height to height, in the same location using the same considerations and criteria as the staff approval of re- roofing. The meeting Adjourned at 8:20. Attest: Linda Rile Secretary :5 // -F /(3 q Dat 11
