APPROPRIATENESS Date: September 28, 2009 Application Number: 2009-0909 Property Location: 619 Edgewater Drive Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Dutch Colonial Revival/1924/Whitcomb and Keller Property Owner: Sandra and Chris Wilson Landmark or District Designation: Edgewater Place LHD Rating: Contributing DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE:' This two storey Dutch Colonial Revival home has a rectangular plan set upon a brick and concrete foundation. The exterior walls are clapboard and the flared gable roof with full shed dormer is covered with asphalt shingles. There is an off center brick chimney with corbelled top. There is a balcony over the front porch with balustrade. The front porch is open with square posts with balustrade. The windows are double hung 6 over 1. There are 2 single leaf multi -pane French style doors leading to balcony. The house is on a very small and irregularly shaped lot on the corner of Bronson and Edgewater (See Exhibit A). ALTERATIONS: Two skylights in the eastern exposure of the roof; front porch rebuilt with new decking and rails to match style of house in 2006; there are some aluminum storm windows and an aluminum storm door Picket fence added in 1996 with commission approval. Changes in landscaping: removal of stone wall near side basement door and approved dead tree removals. APPLICATION ITEMS: Remove old storm windows which are a mixture of aluminum and wood and replace with new storm windows. Larson Silver Series. DISCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The homeowners propose to replace all of their storm windows with Larson Silver Series two track double hung 1/1 storm windows to achieve a more uniform look to the exterior of their home and to improve energy efficiency. The homeowners consulted Mike Weides to see if the wood storm windows could be repaired or new wood ones made. It was the opinion of Mr. Weides that the wood storms were beyond repair. The homeowners determined that the fabrication of new wood storms was too costly versus purchasing the Larson metal replacement storm windows. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: C. WINDOWS AND DOORS Window and door frames are in nearly all cases wood. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels; masonry block structures have masonry sills and lintels.. In some cases where aluminum siding has been applied window trim has been covered. About half of the structures in the district have aluminum storm windows, the other half wood storm windows. Required Original windows and doors including sash, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods, and hardware shall be retained or when deteriorated beyond repair, replaced with duplicates of the existing or original. Recommended Wood frame storm windows and doors, painted to match the existing or original, should be used but should not damage existing frames and should be removable in the future. If new sash and doors are used, the existing or original materials, design, and hardware should be used. When metal storm doors are used, they should be painted anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used they should be of canvas material. Prohibited Existing or original doors, windows, and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and re -used in place. New window and door openings which would alter the scale and proportion of the building should not be introduced. Inappropriate new window and door features such as aluminum insulating glass combinations that require the removal of the original windows and doors shall not be installed. Not Recommended Metal, vinyl, or fiberglass awnings, hoods, and fake shutters that would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building should not be used STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Larson Silver Series replacement storm windows as they will duplicate the original storm windows.

OVERLAP FLUSH MOUNT STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: September 30, 2009 Application Number: 2009-0922 Property Location: 815 Ashland Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: T-Plan/1894 Property Owner: Diana and Randy Hopkins Landmark or District Designation: Chapin Park Rating: Non -Contributing DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: The house has two storeys with exterior walls that are clad in aluminum and perma-stone. The roof is covered with asphalt shingles. There is an enclosed front porch with siding to match to house and metal railings. ALTERATIONS: In 1945 there was a 5'x6' addition to the'porch. The house is aluminum sided and there are replacement windows. There is also a rear addition to the home with a wooden ramp. APPLICATION ITEMS: The applicant wishes to add a fence across his driveway with a gate from his neighbors' house to his. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The applicant is proposing to erect a fence with a gate across his driveway to the end of his property line. The addition to 813 Ashland is on 815 Ashland's property line and was constructed prior to the Hopkins' purchase. The fence and gate will be of 6' foot dog ear style treated wood fixed to posts set in concrete. The fence will not be fixed onto either house. The fence will be situated behind the electric meter beyond the set back of the house. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: Chapin Park I. THE ENVIRONMENT A. THE DISTRICT ENVIRONMENT The Chapin Park Local Historic District is a particularly fine residential area located close to downtown South Bend, the St. Joseph River, Memorial Hospital and Leeper Park. This section is meant to protect and guide appropriate maintenance of the common areas of the district (i.e. visual landscape and streetscapes). Required Brick streets contribute greatly to the character of the neighborhood. These streets have always been essentially passenger car thoroughfares. The appointments of the streets (i.e. lighting, curbs, horse hitches and monuments) should contribute as much as possible to their architectural, historic and residential character. Retention and maintenance of existing brick streets in the district is required. Repair work to fill voids and gaps must utilize brick paver materials and acceptable installation methods whenever applicable. When utility work"dictates the removal of street sections (pavers), the original materials will be reinstalled. Brick streets shall be patched with brick pavers. Concrete, asphalt, fillers and similar materials shall not be used. All original streetlights shall be maintained, especially the George Cutter "Park View" streetlights designed by the Cutter Company for this neighborhood. Present efforts by the Neighborhood Association and the Historic Preservation Commission to restore "Park View" streetlights to the district shall continue. Any change in lighting must receive approval of the Historic Preservation Commission. New or different fencing requires a C of A and shall reflect the style and character of the individual property and the surrounding environment and properties. Recommended The current or historic character of lawns should be preserved. Front yard areas, common lawns and tree lawns should remain open. New or replacement trees should be compatible in variety with those presently growing. Vacant lots should be kept landscaped appropriately while vacant, and may be used for recreational or residential development. When replacement of utility poles or power supply lines is necessary, consideration should be given to underground conduits or utility poles erected along rear property lines. Prohibited Existing relationships of buildings and their environments shall not be destroyed by widening existing streets, applying asphalt or other bituminous coverings or by introducing new streets or parking lots. Signs, streetlights, benches, new plant materials, fencing, walkways and paving materials which are out of scale or inappropriate to the neighborhood may not be used. The erection of high walls or barriers, which would alter the relationship of the houses, shall be prohibited. Utility poles with high intensity overhead lights shall not be used on main thoroughfares. 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. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This is a new and large feature being requested to be erected between a non-contributing structure and a contributing structure at 813 Ashland. There is no documentation that such a fence was ever erected at this property. The homeowner is requesting this for security and privacy concerns. Staff recommends approval of this fence and gate since it can be constructed and removed without further altering the house. t I Application - FOR - Certificate of Appropriateness Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend & St. Joseph County 125 S.

Property Management, LLC Landmark or District Designation: Chapin Park Rating: Non -Contributing DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: 601 North Lafayette is a one and one half storey frame home that originally had wood siding and a wood shingle roof. The foundation is a combination of brick and concrete. The house is currently sided with vinyl and has long 2/2 original windows in some of the lower openings and vinyl replacement windows in the balance. ALTERATIONS: The house was converted into 3 apartments in 1945. A 12x12' porch was added on the second floor in 1949. Asphalt shingles were installed on the roof in the 1940s. The porch on the first floor south side was removed in the 1940s. Exterior stairs were added to access the second story apartment. The vinyl siding and replacement windows are not original. The doors appear to be replacements. The house was re -roofed with asphalt shingles with COA 2005-0607. APPLICATION ITEMS: Replacement windows (sash only) to match windows already replaced —before G.&J. Property bought the property. The frames and trim will be kept. Gutters will be installed. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT. The owners wish to replace all of the original windows remaining in the house with 1/1 vinyl replacement sashes so that all windows match, except for the pair of 6/6 vinyl replacement windows on the east side. The exterior frames and trim will be repaired/restored. The interior frames will be repaired and missing trim replaced. Gutters will be installed where needed to prevent further water damage to the exterior of the house as noted in the photographs of north side. CHAPIN PARK STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES C. WINDOWS AND DOORS Window and door frames are in most cases wood and vary depending upon the style of the home. Many are double hung windows with wood trim and sills. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels. In some cases where aluminum siding has been applied, the window and door trim has been covered. About half of the structures in the district have aluminum storm windows; the other half have wood storm windows. Required Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods and hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced with units and trim resembling the original. Recommended Wood storm windows and doors painted or finished to match the original should be used but should not damage existing frames. If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design and hardware should be used. When metal storm doors are used, they should be painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used, they should be of canvas material. orohibited riginal doors, windows and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and reused in place. New window and door openings, which would alter the scale and proportion of the building may not be introduced. Inappropriate new window and door features such as metal, vinyl or fiberglass awnings, hoods or aluminum insulating glass combinations that require removal of original windows and doors, shall not be installed. Not Recommended Fake shutters that would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building should not be used. STAFF RECOMMENDATION. Staff recommends approval. The house has very little of its original fabric remaining and is rated non-contributing because of the extensive alterations over the decades. The original windows have been compromised and the missing weights possibly scrapped by the two previous, foreclosed owners. Staff recommends approval of the addition of the gutters to prevent further deterioration.

CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: October 7, 2009 Application Number: 2009-1005C Property Location: 802 Manitou/Forest Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Gabled-ell/1890 Property Owner: Landmark or District Designation: Chapin Park Rating: Contributing DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: The house is situated on the corner of Manitou and Forest Avenues. It is a one and one half storey gabled -ell with an irregular plan, set upon a brick foundation. It has a gabled roof with returns cover with asphalt shingles. There is a shed dormer in the rear addition. The windows are 1/1 double hung with louvered shutters. The front door is flanked by leaded glass half side -lights under a covered front porch. There is a pergola after the back patio and there is a covered rear porch. The yard on Forest is surrounded by a four foot wooden picket fence. ALTERATIONS: The house has vinyl siding and shutters, replacement aluminum storm windows and storm doors. There have been rear additions to the house. The front bay window is not original to the house and the front porch section of the original wraparound porch noted on the Assessor Card is all that remains. The pergola and patio are later additions as well. The fence is not original. APPLICATION ITEMS: Remove two Linden Basswood for routine maintenance for power lines. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT.: AEP/I&M is requesting that Asplundh remove trees in the yard of and in the tree lawn of 802 at the corner of Manitou and Forest as part of their routine tree trimming. The City Forester, Brent Thompson, analyzed the trees and reported (see attached) that the tree in the tree lawn could be removed because it had a hollow spot; but the others may only be trimmed. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: I. THE ENVIRONMENT A. THE DISTRICT ENVIRONMENT The Chapin Park Local Historic District is a particularly fine residential area located close to downtown South Bend, the St. Joseph River, Memorial Hospital and Leeper Park. This section is meant to protect and guide appropriate maintenance of the common areas of the district (i.e. visual landscape and streetscapes). Required Brick streets contribute greatly to the character of the neighborhood. These streets have always been essentially passenger car thoroughfares. The appointments of the streets (i.e. lighting, curbs, horse hitches and monuments) should contribute as much as possible to their architectural, historic and residential character. Retention and maintenance of existing brick streets in the district is required. Repair work to fill voids and gaps must utilize brick paver materials and acceptable installation methods whenever applicable. When utility work dictates the removal of street sections (pavers), the original materials will be reinstalled. Brick streets shall be patched with brick pavers. Concrete, asphalt, fillers and similar materials shall not be used. All original streetlights shall be maintained, especially the George Cutter "Park View" streetlights designed by the Cutter Company for this neighborhood. Present efforts by the Neighborhood Association and the Historic Preservation Commission to restore "Park View" streetlights to the district shall continue. Any change in lighting must receive approval of the Historic Preservation Commission. New or different fencing requires a C of A and shall reflect the style and character of the individual property and the surrounding environment and properties. Recommended The current or historic character of lawns should be preserved. Front yard areas, common lawns and tree lawns should remain open. New or replacement trees should be compatible in variety with those presently growing. Vacant lots should be kept landscaped appropriately while vacant, and may be used for recreational or residential development. When replacement of utility poles or power supply lines is necessary, consideration should be r.� given to underground conduits or utility poles erected along rear property lines. Prohibited Existing relationships of buildings and their environments shall not be destroyed by widening existing streets, applying asphalt or other bituminous coverings or by introducing new streets or parking lots. Signs, streetlights, benches, new plant materials, fencing, walkways and paving materials which are out of scale or inappropriate to the neighborhood may not be used. The erection of high walls or barriers, which would alter the relationship of the houses, shall be prohibited. Utility poles with high intensity overhead lights shall not be used on main thoroughfares. 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. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends following the City Forester's recommendation to remove the tree in the tree lawn and trim the one in the yard. The tree be replaced in the 6'foot tree lawn with an appropriate species recommended by the City Forester. :l ,.

AN.ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND ESTABLISHING A HISTORIC LANDMARK FOR THE STRUCTURE AND REAL PROPERTY KNOWN AS THE RUSHTON APARTMENTS AND LOCATED AT 501 WEST WASHINGTON, IN THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT In 2005, Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana ("H L F I") was named Receiver of the Building and Site known as the Rushton Apartments, located at 501 West Washington, in the City of South Bend, Indiana, (the "Property" or the "Rushton") and have petitioned the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County (the "Commission") to have the Property designated as a Historic Landmark pursuant to South Bend City Ordinance No. 5565-73, as amended. The Property is located within the West Washington National Register District and is recognized in the Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Inventory of South Bend with a rating of "Notable" meaning that the property is above average and that further research may reveal that the Property is eligible for National Register listing and is a contributing building to the West Washington National Register District. The staff of the Commission has prepared a report and recommendation for the Commission, which has reviewed the petition of H L F I and the report prepared by the staff and has heard and discussed the recommendation of the staff for the designation of the Property as a Historic Landmark. Based on the Commission's Local Landmark Criteria adopted by the Common Council, the Property meets three of the criteria for Local Landmark Status: 1) Its embodiment of elements of architectural design, detail, material or craftsmanship which represent an architectural characteristic or innovation; The Rushton is an excellent example of a turn -of -the -century Neo -Classical design and retains a high level of architectural integrity. At the time of its construction it was an innovated residential concept found in other cities but not yet in South Bend. It was one of South Bend's first "high rise" apartment r buildings. The structure is rated "notable" in the Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Inventory of South Bend and is a contributing building to the West Washington National Register District. 2) Its suitability for preservation; The Rushton has significant original exterior architectural integrity. Recent architectural studies have concluded that the building can be converted to modern living standards and that it is in sound structural condition. 3) Its identification with the life of a person or persons of historical significance; The Rushton is associated with South Bend developers John and Edward Rush. The Commission has conducted a public hearing, for the purposes of hearing comments on the designation of the Property as a Historic Landmark and for delivering a recommendation to the Common Council, and following the public hearing, the Commission has given its favorable recommendation to the Common Council of the City of South Bend to designate the Property as a Historic Landmark pursuant to Ordinance No. 5565-73, as amended.

Washington Historical Context This four-story apartment building known as The Rushton was built in 1906 by John and Edward Rush. Mr. John Rush made his living in real estate. He and his brother, Edward, built the Rushton as a family residence and hotel complete with its own cafeteria. John Rush co -owned the building until his death in 1940 at age 80. Edward Rush was born in 1871 and was also in to real estate. He was the treasurer of the Fidelity Land Company. Edward retained ownership of the structure until his death in 1944, after which, it was placed in a trust controlled by John's three children. The Rush heirs owned the property until 1972 when it was sold to Dennis Emery who rented out the various units until 2000 when he sold it to Indiana Land Trust. During the first years of its existence the Rushton was home to various real estate agents, clerks, managers and lawyers. The 35 original units did not contain kitchens as a common dining room was located in the lower level for tenant's use. Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana was named Receiver of the Building and Site in 2005. The Rushton is a neo-classic style building with unusual glazed brick masonry exterior. It is a contributing building in the West Washington National Register District. At the time of its construction, it was the tallest residential building in the city and remains today the tallest structure in the W. Washington National Register District. The building anchors a key intersection of the district and provides an important connection between the downtown and the adjacent residential structures. It is the only building with its combination of style and design in the West Washington district. Architectural Description The Rushton is a four-story Neo -Classical style apartment building. It has a rectangular plan, a flat roof with metal parapet coping, one over one double hung windows with limestone sills. The east and south facades have wood frame bow windows with simple metal cornices and one over one double hung wood windows all supported on a limestone base. The brick masonry exterior walls are accented with limestone quoining, brick dentils and decorative limestone door surrounds at the front door and east entrance. The front entrance surround is carried out in a simple craftsmen style. The exterior brick is a unique variegated orange color with a fired glaze finish. The first floor contains a recessed porch entrance support by decorative brick piers with an eyebrow cornice and brackets on each side, concrete step and concrete floor and foundation. There are two stairs leading to the lower level Recommendation Based on the Historic Preservation Commission's Local Landmark Criteria's adopted by the Common Council, the site and structure at 501 W. Washington has been recommended to the Common Council for designation as a Local Landmark by the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County.

Diana Hopkins and Randy Hopkins PUBLIC HEARING: STAFF REPORT Date: September 28, 2009 Application Number: 2009-0909 Property Location: 619 Edgewater Drive Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Dutch Colonial Revival/1924/Whitcomb and Keller Property Owner: Sandra and Chris Wilson Landmark or District Designation: Edgewater Place LHD Rating: Contributing DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: This two storey Dutch Colonial Revival home has a rectangular plan set upon a brick and concrete foundation. The exterior walls are clapboard and the flared gable roof with full shed dormer is covered with asphalt shingles. There is an off center brick chimney with corbelled top. There is a balcony over the front porch with balustrade. The front porch is open with square posts with balustrade. The windows are double hung 6 over 1. There are 2 single leaf multi -pane French style doors leading to balcony. The house is on a very small and irregularly shaped lot on the corner of Bronson and Edgewater (See Exhibit A). ALTERATIONS: Two skylights in the eastern exposure of the roof; front porch rebuilt with new decking and rails to match style of house in 2006; there are some aluminum storm windows and an aluminum storm door Picket fence added in 1996 with commission approval. Changes in landscaping: removal of stone wall near side basement door and approved dead tree removals. APPLICATION ITEMS: Remove old storm windows which are a mixture of aluminum and wood and replace with new storm windows. Larson Silver Series. DISCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT:_ The homeowners propose to replace all of their storm windows with Larson Silver Series two track double hung 1/1 storm windows to achieve a more uniform look to the exterior of their home and to improve energy efficiency. The homeowners consulted Mike Weides to see if the wood storm windows could be repaired or new wood ones made. It was the opinion of Mr. Weides that the wood storms were beyond repair. The homeowners determined that the fabrication of new wood storms was too costly versus purchasing the Larson metal replacement storm windows. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: C. WINDOWS AND DOORS Window and door frames are in nearly all cases wood. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels; masonry block structures have masonry sills and lintels.. In some cases where aluminum siding has been applied window trim has been covered. About half of the structures in the district have aluminum storm windows, the other half wood storm windows. Required Original windows and doors including sash, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods, and hardware shall be retained or when deteriorated beyond repair, replaced with duplicates of the existing or original. Recommended Wood frame storm windows and doors, painted to match the existing or original, should be used but should not damage existing frames and should be removable in the future. If new sash and doors are used, the existing or original materials , design, and hardware should be used. When metal storm doors are used, they should be painted anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used they should be of canvas material.

THE DISTRICT ENVIRONMENT The Chapin Park Local Historic District is a particularly fine residential area located close to downtown South Bend, the St. Joseph River, Memorial Hospital and Leeper Park. This section is meant to protect and guide appropriate maintenance of the common areas of the district (i.e. visual landscape and streetscapes). Required Brick streets contribute greatly to the character of the neighborhood. These streets have always been essentially passenger car thoroughfares. The appointments of the streets (i.e. lighting, curbs, horse hitches and monuments) should contribute as much as possible to their architectural, historic and residential character. Retention and maintenance of existing brick streets in the district is required. Repair work to fill voids and gaps must utilize brick paver materials and acceptable installation methods whenever applicable. When utility work dictates the removal of street sections (pavers), the original materials will be reinstalled. Brick streets shall be patched with brick pavers. Concrete, asphalt, fillers and similar materials shall not be used. All original streetlights shall be maintained, especially the George Cutter "Park View" streetlights designed by the Cutter Company for this neighborhood. Present efforts by the Neighborhood Association and the Historic Preservation Commission to restore "Park View" streetlights to the district shall continue. Any change in lighting must receive approval of the Historic Preservation Commission. New or different fencing requires a C of A and shall reflect the style and character of the individual 3 property and the surrounding environment and properties. Recommended The current or historic character of lawns should be preserved. Front yard areas, common lawns and tree lawns should remain open. New or replacement trees should be compatible in variety with those presently growing. Vacant lots should be kept landscaped appropriately while vacant, and may be used for recreational or residential development. When replacement of utility poles or power supply lines is necessary, consideration should be given to underground conduits or utility poles erected along rear property lines. Prohibited Existing relationships of buildings and their environments shall not be destroyed by widening existing streets, applying asphalt or other bituminous coverings or by introducing new streets or parking lots. Signs, streetlights, benches, new plant materials, fencing, walkways and paving materials which are out of scale or inappropriate to the neighborhood may not be used. The erection of high walls or barriers, which would alter the relationship of the houses, shall be prohibited. Utility poles with high intensity overhead lights shall not be used on main thoroughfares. 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 4 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: This is a new and large feature being requested to be erected between a non-contributing structure and a contributing structure at 813 Ashland. There is no documentation that such a fence was ever erected at this property. The homeowner is requesting this for security and privacy concerns. Staff recommends approval of this fence and gate since it can be constructed and removed without further altering the house. On a motion by Linda Riley with a second by Lynn Patrick the Commission voted unanimously in favor of COA#2009-0922. STAFF REPORT Date: October 6, 2009 Application Number: 2009-1005A Property Location: 601 North Lafayette Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Gabled-ell/1897 Property Owner: G. & J. Property Management, LLC Landmark or District Designation: Chapin Park Rating: Non -Contributing DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: 601 North Lafayette is a one and one half storey frame home that originally had wood siding and a wood shingle roof. The foundation is a combination of brick and concrete. The house is currently sided with vinyl and has long 2/2 original windows in some of the lower openings and vinyl replacement windows in the balance. ALTERATIONS: The house was converted into 3 apartments in 1945. A 12x12' porch was added on the second floor in 1949. Asphalt shingles were installed on the roof in the 1940s. The porch on the first floor south side was removed in the 1940s. Exterior stairs were added to access the second story apartment. The vinyl siding and replacement windows are not original. The doors appear to be replacements. The house was re -roofed with asphalt shingles with COA 2005-0607. APPLICATION ITEMS: Replacement windows (sash only) to match windows already replaced before G.&J. Property bought the property. The frames and trim will be kept. Gutters will be installed. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT. The owners wish to replace all of the original windows remaining in the house with 1/1 vinyl replacement sashes so that all windows match, except for the pair of 6/6 vinyl replacement windows on the east side. The exterior frames and trim will be repaired/restored. The interior frames will be repaired and missing trim replaced. Gutters will be installed where needed to prevent further water damage to the exterior of the house as noted in the photographs of north side. CHAPIN PARK STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES C. WINDOWS AND DOORS Window and door frames are in most cases wood and vary depending upon the style of the home. Many are double hung windows with wood trim and sills. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels. In some cases where aluminum siding has been applied, the window and door trim has been covered. About half of the structures in the district have aluminum storm windows; the other half have wood storm windows. Required Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods and hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced with units and trim resembling the original. Recommended Wood storm windows and doors painted or finished to match the original should be used but should not damage existing frames. If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design and hardware should be used. When metal storm doors are used, they should be painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used, they should be of canvas material. Prohibited Original doors, windows and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and reused in place. New window and door openings, which would alter the scale and proportion of the building may not be introduced. Inappropriate new window and door features such as metal, vinyl or fiberglass awnings, hoods or aluminum insulating glass combinations that require removal of original windows and doors, shall not be installed. Not Recommended Fake shutters that would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building should not be used. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. The house has very little of its original fabric remaining and is rated non-contributing because of the extensive alterations over the decades. The original windows have been compromised and the missing weights possibly scrapped by the two previous, foreclosed owners. Staff recommends approval of the addition of the gutters to prevent further deterioration. On a motion by David Sassano with a second by Sandra Rossow the vote was 3 ayes and 3 nays on COA 2009-1005A as clarified. The application was at a stalemate. Timothy Klusczinski voted Nay "because the application didn't show the full proposed replacement, it didn't offer sash packs in the areas where it could have offered sash packs and been less invasive to the structure and the original building fabric, the house address is a prominent corner house, a gateway to the Chapin Park Historic District, it is not an in-kind replacement, rehabilitation options were not explored for the existing windows and some of the criteria proposed as justification of the replacement options were irrelevant to the windows themselves. I am speaking of the rain water and gutter system and those things." Lynn Patrick reiterated President Klusczinski's comments. Jerry Niezgodski expressed the same concerns as President Klusczinski noting the high profile location of the house. The owner was instructed to investigate if the windows could be restored as they did not appear to be deteriorated beyond repair and to investigate the use of "sash -packs". The installation of gutters was then addressed by the Commission. 0 On a motion by Linda Riley with a second by Sandy Rossow the Commissioners voted unanimously to approve the installation of a gutter system per Timothy Klusczinski's statement. Date: October 7, 2009 Application Number: 2009-1005C Property Location: 802 Manitou/Forest Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Gabled-ell/1890 Property Owner: Landmark or District Designation: Chapin Park Rating: Contributing DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE.: The house is situated on the comer of Manitou and Forest Avenues.

There is a pergola after the back patio and there is a covered rear porch. The yard on Forest is surrounded by a four foot wooden picket fence. ALTERATIONS: The house has vinyl siding and shutters, replacement aluminum storm windows and storm doors. There have been rear additions to the house. The front bay window is not original to the house and the front porch section of the original wraparound porch noted on the Assessor Card is all that remains. The pergola and patio are later additions as well. The fence is not original. APPLICATION ITEMS: Remove two Linden Basswood for routine maintenance for power lines. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT '. : AEP/I&M is requesting that Asplundh remove trees in the yard of and in the tree lawn of 802 at the comer of Manitou and Forest as part of their routine tree trimming. The City Forester, Brent Thompson, analyzed the trees and reported (see attached) that the tree in the tree lawn could be removed because it had a hollow spot; but the others may only be trimmed.
