He has lived at this address since November of 2008 and plans to reside therefor as long as possible. Mr. Zagorac has been unable to enter or leave the residence independently since moving in. He and I (the owner) have explored many avenues to construct ramps to enable this since his moving in. He has been turned down twice by Medicaid to have the ramps built. Just this month, March 2010, Mr. Zagorac was appointed I y the governor of the state of Indiana to serve on the Indiana Council on Independent Living. (See included letter.) It is now imperative that Mr. Zagorac be able to gain entrance and exit of the property independently in order to attend council meetings and attend to council business, not to mention for his own safety. Since we are unable to afford to privately pay for this ramp and Medicaid has turned the application down on two occasions, the Council, itself, has arranged to build this ramp through private donations, but will be using the plans of the original estimating contractor prior to the Medicaid refusal which are the ones included in the application. We ask that this application for a Certificate of Appropriateness be considered with all possible haste. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. Sincerely, r Lorri J. 0 i STATE OF INDIANA Mitchell E.

ALTERATIONS: Vinyl siding. Replacement 6/6 double hung windows. Glass block windows on South side. Shutters added to windows. Metal awning over entry doors. Concrete stairs leading into front entry door. APPLICATION ITEMS: Remove trees in backyard which obstruct the existing power lines, and plant 1 (one) new tree. Remove bushes in front yard, replace with flower garden, possibly add one small tree. The trees in the backyard of the property at 503 N. Lafayette Blvd. are a hazard and I would like to remove them for this reason. The bushes in the front yard are not hazardous, this decision is aesthetically based. I would like to remove the bushes and plant a flower garden in their place. The three (3) trees in the backyard of my property are intertwined with the power lines (see Exhibits A -1 through A -4). Due to the obstruction of the power lines by the trees, multiple power lines have fallen to the ground (see Exhibit B -1 through B -2). At one point (before I took possession of the property), a pole which held power lines had fallen to the ground. It was likely a storm that caused the pole to fall, but the additional strain of the tree branches pulling on the power lines may have contributed to the worn nature of the structure. I have a 15 month old son, and I will not and cannot allow him to play in our backyard due to the unsafe nature. Due to the above stated reasons, I see no better resolve than to remove the trees completely to allow the power lines to run safely at their elevation, and to plant a tree which is authorized by the Historical Preservation Commission Guidebook which will grow to a height which will not obstruct the power lines in the future. In the front yard of the property, I would like to remove the bushes, which are old and worn and plant a flower garden in their place (see Exhibit D -1 and D -2). DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Homeowner wishes to remove trees that are interfering with power lines in backyard of home. One replacement tree will be planted in backyard. Also, homeowner wishes to remove bushes near fagade in front yard of home and replace with a flower garden. 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. The district environment's notable features are the remaining brick streets, historic streetlights, and a mature tree canopy that provides a park -like atmosphere. This section is meant to protect and guide appropriate maintenance of the common areas, the overall visual landscape and the streetscapes of the district. Required Curving 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, trees and 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 not to be uniform in size or shape. There are many pie- shaped and irregular lots. At times, two houses are located on one lot or one and a half lots. Some houses were built around courts and therefore do not face the street. Some buildings have different setbacks compared to the rest of the houses lining the street. Building sites also conform to the varying topography of the area, especially on Lamont Terrace. Alleys are generally behind houses, though the neighborhood was designed with some alleys running along the sides of properties. Most residences have a detached garage located to the rear of the property; some houses were designed with an attached garage. A few building sites are very small and do not accommodate a garage. Landscape accessories like fences and terraces, lawns and gardens, private walks, and auxiliary buildings are unique to each site or structure. Wrought iron fences and low wood picket fences can be found at some building sites. The neighborhood enjoys a mature tree canopy. Deciduous, non - ornamental trees are found in the tree lawns. Upper Lamont Terrace does not have a tree lawn as the sidewalk abuts the street. A sidewalk divides the tree lawn from the lawn on the other streets in the district. Required Fencing, walkways, outbuildings, private yard lights, signs (i.e. house numbers) and benches (visible from the street) as well as trees located in the yard or tree lawns which reflect the property's history and development shall be retained. A tree shall only be removed if the removal is required due to storm damage, disease, threatened damage to a structure, or for such other reasons 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. 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 of removing only those trees on the property of 503 N. Lafayette and the trimming of the trees on the adjacent properties interfering with the power lines. Furthermore, staff recommends the approval of the planting of one new tree that is compatible in variety with those presently growing - and will not interfere with the existing power lines as it grows to maturity. Staff recommends the removal of the bushes in the front yard and the replacement of a flower garden as it will compliment the home and enhance the landscaping.

The three (3) trees in the backyard of my property are intertwined with the power lines (see Exhibits A -1 through A-4). Due to the obstruction of the power lines by the trees, multiple power lines have fallen to the ground (see Exhibits B -1 and B -2). At one point (before I took possession of the property), a pole which held power lines has fallen to the ground. It was likely a storm that caused the pole to fall, but the additional strain of the tree branches pulling on the power lines may have contributed to the worn nature .of the structure. I have a 15 month old son, and I will not and cannot allow him to play in our backyard due to the unsafe nature. Due to the above stated reasons, I see no.better resolve than to remove the trees completely to allow the power lines to run safely at their elevation, and to plant a tree which is authorized by the Historical Preservation Commission Guidebook which will grow to a height which will not obstruct the power lines in the future. In the front yard of the property, I would like to remove the bushes, which are old and worn and plant a flower garden in their place (see Exhibit D -1 and D- 2). bow Awn S iE — A I Tol ids NMI- iv` Alm W/4" WT t got, V . j !

N4 7tii Y [ F STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: April 1, 2010 Application Number: 2010 -0401A Property Location: 2300 Portage Architectural Style/Date /Architect or Builder: Craftsman/1900 /Claude K. Howell, Architect Property Owner: Stonemor Indiana LLC Landmark or District Designation: Local Landmark Rating: Outstanding DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: The Riverview Cemetery Gatehouse is a two- storey structure with an irregular plan and stone foundation. The walls are rough -cut, irregularly coursed, fieldstone walls with wood paneled gables. The wood gable ends have horizontal, vertical and diagonal half timbering. The roof is covered in red slate, gabled in shape with gable intersects, a front gable dormer and a gabled porte - cochere: The structure also has projecting wooden eaves and open rake. The building boasts a wraparound veranda with Doric half columns, rough cut stone balustrades with stone cap and a porte - cochere set at a 45 degrees angle to the main body of the structure with an open eave gabled roof curved brackets and vertical slats. The windows are double hung wood sash on the first floor and double hung sashes with diamond pattern in the top sash of the second floor. The windows also have stone lintels. The gatehouse also has oval windows set into the curved south wall on either side on the chimney and a glazed wood frame double front door. The Gatehouse is situated between curvilinear drives at the main entrance of the cemetery on the east side of Portage Avenue. There is the remaining half of the granite curved wall with limestone post caps that originally supported the iron main gate securing the entrance. ALTERATIONS: There have been inappropriate repairs to the ridge of the south roof. The storm windows are missing on the structure. The deteriorating brick chimney in the rear kitchen/utility wing of the structure has been covered with a concrete coating as has the foundation. This coating is deteriorating as well. APPLICATION ITEMS: Bartow Builders Contractor for StoneMor Partners, L.P. states: See attachments/Plans. We will have exact mortar combination mix for wall repair for committee review meeting. We are researching yet. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT. Please see attached detailed explanation with photographs and product information. Bartow Builders has been retained by StoneMor Partners to rehabilitate and repair the Gate House and -Stone Entrance Wall at Riverview Cemetery. StoneMor also wishes to create a concrete handicap ramp ( #6) from the Porte Cochere (referenced as car port) to the main entrance with the railings set into the concrete. This will necessitate an additional step ( #6) to the front entry. This will step will be recycled from the limestone step currently in the rear of the building that is proposed for replacement with concrete. The re- building and restoration of the remaining section of the original Entrance Wall will include the removal of the near by trees and shrubbery because their root systems are undermining its foundation. More appropriate replacement landscaping selections will prevent this in the future. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: B. Treatment Treatment shall be defined as any change of surface materials that will not alter the style or original form. Such improvements include re- roofing, glazing, or landscaping lawns and may involve a change that can potentially enhance or detract from the character of he landmark. A treatment change of any surface whether on the landmark or in its environment may require a Certificate of Appropriateness if it significantly alters the appearance of the landmark. Although these kinds of changes may not require a Building Permit, a Certificate of Appropriateness may be necessary. The commission should review the proposed treatment for character and style consistency with the original surfaces. C. Renovation and Additions Renovation is the modification of a structure, which does not alter the general massing while and addition, is a change in mass. A modification, which involves the removal of a part of the landmark, should be considered under demolition (see demolition). Additions to landmarks should not detract from the original form and unity of ht landmark and should not cover singular examples of architectural detail. Additions to landmarks should be added in a manner that does not disrupt the visible unity of overall appearance of the site. The proportions, materials and ratios of the existing structures should be carried through in the additions. Care should be taken not to change or alter the following: 1. Structure — Necessary structural improvements, where safety demands should be accomplished in such a way as to cause minimal visual change to the original style and construction. 2. Material— Additions and improvements involving any new material in the landmark should be of the same material as the original. It should be the same size and texture. An alternative material may be allowed if it duplicates the original. a. wood —all wood trim should conform with existing trim in shape and size. b. siding materials —the Commission discourages the covering or alteration of original materials with additional siding. Structures already sided with incompatible materials should be returned to a siding similar to the original when renovation is considered. G. Building Site and Landscaping (These standards apply to both A and B) 1. Reauired Major landscaping items, trees, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house numbers) and benches which reflect the property's history and development shall be retained. Dominant land contours shall be retained. Structures such as: gazebos, patio decks, fixed barbecue pits, swimming pools, tennis courts, green houses, new walls, fountains, fixed garden furniture, trellises, and other similar structures shall be compatible to the historic character of the site and neighborhood and inconspicuous when viewed from a public way. 2. Recommended New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in photographs, drawings, and newspapers. Plant materials and trees in close proximity to the building that are causing deterioration to the buildings historic fabric should be removed. However, trees and plant materials that must be removed should be immediately replaced by suitable flora. Front yard areas should not be fenced except in cases where historic documentation would indicate such fencing appropriate. Fencing should be in character with the buildings style, materials, and scale. 3. Prohibited No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing major landscaping items, trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings, and 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. The installation of unsightly devices such as TV reception dishes and solar collectors shall not be permitted in areas where they can be viewed from public thoroughfares. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:, Staff recommends approval of the repairs and the rehabilitation of the Gate House and former Entrance Wall because they follow the guidelines for Local Landmarks and because the work proposed is sympathetic to the aesthetics and integrity of the site and structures. The work proposed is either in -kind repair or restoration of original exterior features of the building including the original doors and windows. The new roof with architectural asphalt shingles ( #8) for the rear wing of the building will replace an older asphalt shingled roof. The new concrete work ( #2) and modifications to the window wells ( #1) are in the rear of the building and will not be noticeable from the main thoroughfare. The utility upgrades will be either underground or screened with landscaping. Staff would prefer that the sidewalk ( #6) be replaced with standard concrete. The installation of the 4 lamp post lighting is not recommended ( #4); staff would prefer to see lighting discretely installed under the porch roof overhang.

Custom Homes * Remodel *Additions *Certified Aging in Place Specialist 32 Albert Drive, Manitowoc, WI 54220 Phone: 920- 682 -7100 Fax: 920 - 682 -7111 www.bartowbuilders.com March 31, 2010 The following is a list of changes that will be made to the Riverview Cemetery, 2300 Portage, Ave. South Bend, IN: 1.) The basement window wells that currently have a brick side walls will be tuck pointed and cleaned. They were closed up with a shed style roof and were rotting. We have removed the shed roof structure to see what we had to work with. We will also pour a cement top cap with a preformed lip to allow for a steel grate over the window well. This will serve as a safety net so no one falls into the cavity yet will allow light to filter into for the basement window. The color of the grate will be a lighter gray color to match in with the cement. This will be done on all three window wells - -2 on the east side of the building and (1) on the north side of the building. The windows themselves were boarded off and no sashes were present on the property. We will be installing a fixed sash window in it's place for security. This sash will be in white on the exterior. It will be a Marvin Integrity window sash. See attached brochure for windows details. The window on the north side of the building will be reduced in height size to allow for venting for the furnace appliance. This venting will be hidden by the existing shrubbery in place. See attachment # 1. 2.) The exits on the two existing doors on the east side have horrible deteriation of concrete from the outside entry point. We will remove those steps and pads and install new pads, concrete steps and patio per plan. This will be standard concrete with a broom finish. The size details are per floor plan. See attachment/label #2. 3.) The HVAC penetrations for utility supply, exhaust, and fresh air intake are labeled on the plan and will exit via the existing north window well location. The A.C. condensors (2) locations are also labeled in respect to the committee's over all view of the property, these will be in the planting space of the back entry. We figure we will be able to disguise them with plantings and landscaping as best as possible. See attachment/label #3. 4.) The electrical service is going to be redone so that it can be buried under ground instead of it's current existence of overhead supply. We will also have the phone line buried to the building as well. Other exterior electrical that we will be conducting include a lamp light on the'-power pole on the south corner of the property to light up the back half of the property for security reasons, installing (4) lamp lights on poles with design relevant to the early 1900`s time period, installing recessed lighting in the porch soffit for safety and affect lighting. See attachment/label #4. 5.) The front door will be reused and refinished. We will be removing the closer on the exterior of the door and installing something internally. The door will be refaced, new hinges matching the existing installed, the hardware will be reused and refinished. The trim that meets the granite from the front door will be remade to match the same profile - and will be made of oak, as is the current species. The face of the exterior door will be in oak veneer as it currently exists. Bartow Builders has reviewed the composition of the door and deemed it salvageable.- The final aspect of this door will be weather stripping for proper sealing. This should not affect the approval of this committee as the stripping will be done internally. Please see attachment/label #5. 6.) In order to meet the ever growing population with disabled needs StoneMor, the property owner, has requested to make the building ADA accessible so that all of their clients and families can enjoy the benefits of this building as well as their services. The plan we have provided shows the details of a ramp that we have discussed with Jim Markle at South Bend Building Inspection. Jim has requested from us to define the ramp and make it only as wide as it need be. This will include a railing system that will mount on the building and pass through the window ever so slightly and a railing that will be mounted into the concrete down the center of the walk path to the carport. By doing this ramp we will need to add another limestone step onto the front entry as well as a step from the new ramp platform height to the side of the ramp. Per plan details we would also like to install a new sidewalk section that comes from the front porch to the perimeter sidewalk. We would like to use a stamped concrete that would mimic the characteristics of the slate as well as color match the slate roof of the building. If we care not allowed to do such, we would defer to using standard concrete with a broomed finish texture to prevent slips. Please see plan details. Please see attachment/label #6. 7.) Bartow Builders would also like permission to remove portions of the wall at the entrance to the cemetery and re- install. We will be marking and labeling the pieces so that the wall will go back to it's original design. The wall appears to have been struck and hit on the east end of the wall but upon further investigation we see that there is damage to the wall coming from the bottom up appearing to be a result of tree root damage and water damage. We would like permission to remove three trees in this area as well as the shrubbery. We want to install a drain tile to divert the water away from the immediate wall section and then we would replant existing type shrubbery 4' in front of the wall instead of it's current close proximity. Please see attachment/label #7. 8.) On the south east corner of the home an addition was placed onto the building at some point. We have a couple of items that we would like to repair in this area: A.) The roof that is currently an asphalt, three tab roof will be replaced with a asphalt dimensional shingle. The shingle is a GAF shingle, color is CorT,14e RRb . The shingle brochure is attached and a sample of the shingle has been left with Catherine. See attachment/label #8A. B.) We would like to patch/repair/ and re -coat the chimney in it's entirety on the east side of the addition with back plaster. After further review and close inspection fo the chimney we feel it is best to not mess with it, yet preserve and repair it. The See attachment/label 8B. C.) The foundation coating that is on the building is deteriated and crumbling off the foundation. We would propose to install new foundation coating on the building to for proper maintenance and appearance. See attachment/label 8C. 9.) All windows will be saved, re- glazed and repaired to their original state. We will have new storms and screens made for the ones that are missing or that we do not have. Those items will match the same details as the ones that we do have and are within the building. All exterior doors will be repaired and refinished. We will not be installing any new exterior entry doors. See attachment/label #9. 10.) All exterior walls with stucco will be repaired with like materials and the exterior columns will be repaired and maintained. All exterior painting will be scraped and cleaned prior to a new coat of primer and paint being installed. The new color of the building will match closely with that of the existing. Please see the attached rendering for color. See attachment/label #10. 11.) If we are able to remove the staining that is a result of the gutter /water floor out of the gutters we will plan to have that maintained as well. We plan to paint in copper paint any galvanized ridge cap, valley, flashing. See attachment/label / and spec #1.

REPAIR: THE RUBBER ROOF MEMBRANE WAS IMPROPERLY INSTALLED AND TW CONSTRUCTION IS RE- INSTALLING IT PROPERLY AND INSTALLING A TERMINATION BAR TO HOLD EDGES. RE -POINT EXISTING BRICK BETWEEN ROOFLINE AND GARAGE DOOR LINTEL. IN -KIND REPLACEMENT: REPLACE RUSTED STEEL LINTEL ABOVE GARAGE DOOR WITH A NEW STEEL LINTEL. This project was Red - tagged on Thursday, April l because it did not have a permit. At the time that it was red tagged the lintel was already reconditioned or replaced and the brick re- pointed. The rubber membrane was stretched over the parapet and temporarily secured with nails into the mortar on the east fagade. The original contractor was not licensed nor bonded. I LR 14 April 2010: Wayne and I met with homeowner on site after TW Construction was denied a building permit for the roof without a COA. Photographs were taken of the garage. The homeowner, Jessica Payer, was satisfied with the quality and type of the work on the lintel and bricks. April 15, 2010 Terry Willingham of TW Construction, a licensed and bonded contractor, applied for a COA for all of the work that was done and the proposed re- installation of the garage roof. In my discussions with Mr. Willingham on the re- installation of the roof, he clarified that the roof did have a minor pitch to it so that the water would run off on the south side wall of the garage which is flush with the roofline. This feature is not visible at ground level and its view is obstructed by a privacy fence and another nearby garage. Staff issued the COA so that the permit for the completion of roof could be issued. I J �w NO W. ---------- .. r .• . . . . . . . . . Ah I J �w NO W. ---------- .. r .• . . . . . . . . . r.

The walls are wood shingling. The gabled roof has exposed rafter tails and asphalt shingles. There is an open front porch with brick piers and walls and a gabled roof. All of the windows are original double hung with a series of three fixed single pane windows on the west side of the house. ALTERATIONS: The survey card notes fiber shingled siding and aluminum storm windows. There is a non - original deck with a hot tub at the rear of the house. The storm doors are also replacements. APPLICATION ITEMS: Wheelchair ramp off of back deck to run along side of house. Current resident has no means to enter or exit the house at this time without assistance. (Proposed ramp to front sidewalk will not be done at this time.) Please see attached letter 26 March from homeowner and Governor Daniels (Exhibits A &B). DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The homeowner has included a site plan from a Previous bid on this project (Diagram 1) that accurately reflects the location and modified scope of the ramp. The ramp will be located behind the bay widow at the east side of the house towards the rear. See Photographs #1 & #2. The proposed ramp, platform and balusters will be complaint with ADA Standards. It will be constructed from stock treated lumber: 2 "x8" and 2 "x 6" planking for the deck, 3 "xl" railings, 1 "x 1" for the balusters and 4 "x4" for the posts. The ramp will attach to the deck and will be supported by posts that will be set into the ground with concrete. It will be a functional design. Mr. Richard Simers will not be at the meeting as he lives 250 miles from South Bend.

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. Not Recommended New stories should not be added nor should 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 what exists style should not be permitted in the new additions. B. BUILDING MATERIALS Wall materials in the district range from brick, stucco, clapboard, shingles, aluminum 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 Aluminum 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 of the ramp because it conforms to the Riverside Drive Guidelines for New Construction and Building Materials. The Riverside Drive Standards are silent on Entrances, Porches and Steps to the side and to the rear of the house. The ramp will be barely visible from Riverside Drive because of the landscaping and the close proximity of the houses. The ramp will be dismantled and removed from the site when it is no longer needed. A building permit is required. On a motion by Jerry Niezgodski with a second by Linda Riley Vote: 7 -0 COA 2010 -0326 was approved with a unanimous vote STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: 29 March 2010 Application Number: 2010 -0329 Property Location: 845 Park Avenue Architectural Style/Date /Architect or Builder: Dutch Colonial Revival/c.1920 Property Owner: Rita M.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Complete tear -off down to the decking and re -roof. Replace existing Sherriff- Goslin shingles with asphalt architectural shingles. Ice shields to be installed 3' up. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: CHAPIN PARK STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES B. ROOFS AND ROOFING Roof shapes in the district encompass all the various designs found in residential structures: hipped, gabled, gambrel, flat and combinations of these. Roofs are covered with a variety of materials such as asphalt, asbestos, wood and slate shingles as well as clay tiles. Residences in most cases have wood fascias with gutters and downspouts. The fascias of some vinyl- and aluminum -sided houses are covered with the same materials. Required The existing shape and type of materials of the roof shall be retained. All architectural features, which give the roof its essential character, shall be retained, including dormer windows, cupolas, cornices, brackets, chimneys, cresting and weather vanes. Recommended The original shape and materials of the roof should be restored. Particular effort should be made to retain materials such as slate, tile and other unique materials not commonly found in new construction. Roof covering which is deteriorated beyond repair should be replaced with new material that matches as closely as possible the original in composition, size, shape, color and texture. Gutters and downspouts are often a necessary adjunct in order to prevent deterioration of the structure; they should be maintained whenever possible or replaced with a style comparable and suitable to the architectural period. Prohibited Nothing shall be done to change the essential character of the roof as viewed from a street by adding architectural features or large unsightly fixtures, or by using materials inappropriate to the style of the house. The roof shall not be stripped of architectural features important to its character. Not Recommended Overhanging eaves, soffit, brackets and gables should not be covered or enclosed when adding siding to a building. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the replacement asphalt shingle roofing material as it is appropriate to the architectural style of the house. On a motion by Lynn Patrick with a second by Todd Zeiger Vote: 7 -0 COA 2010 -0329 was approved with a unanimous vote STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: April 1, 2010 Application Number: 2010 -0331 Property Location: 411 West North Shore Drive Architectural Style/Date /Architect or Builder: Colonial Revivial/1938/William Reinke Property Owner: Lucille and Robert Jones District Designation: West North Shore Rating: Non - Contributing DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: The Colonial Revival home has a rectangular plan with appendages set on a concrete foundation. The walls are wood frame with aluminum siding. The steep 3 gabled roof has asphalt shingles. The porch has 2 support columns, a flat to slightly sloped roof and flat decorated entablatures. There is a balcony on the west side with post and lintel railing with X crossings over an enclosed porch. The chimney protrudes on the west wall and is constructed with regular bond brick painted white. The windows are double hung 3/3 with shutters. ALTERATIONS: The aluminum siding has been replaced with vinyl siding. There is a one storey addition and deck at the rear of the home. All of the windows at the rear and half of the east side have been replaced and have replacement storms. The rest of the windows appear to be original to the house and have replacement storms. The door appears to be original with a replacement storm door. APPLICATION ITEMS: Repair deteriorated chimney by removing damaged top portion and replacing; repair deteriorated bricks /mortar throughout. Will restore to same height/configuration and repaint white. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The homeowner wishes to remove the courses of deteriorating brick from the severely damaged chimney. These original bricks are common, unglazed and then painted white. The current chimney cap is believed to have been formed from excess mortar; it is cracked and is contributing to the deterioration to the bricks. The homeowner also wishes to replace all deteriorating brick throughout the chimney; rebuild the chimney to its original height using new brick and mortar that closely matches the dimensions of the original brick with mortar and then re -paint it white. The new poured concrete chimney cap will be installed and the chimney caps will be replaced on all three flues. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: II. BASIC STRUCTURAL MATERIAL AND ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES Preferred: Retain and maintain the original exterior building material. Frame Structures: Repair, repaint, and/or clean siding to deter deterioration. Masonry Structures: Tuck -point brick and stone, repair stucco and repaint trim, stucco and brick (if painted) to deter deterioration. Retain and maintain architectural detail of structures such as wrought iron, tile, brackets, etc., or replace when necessary with similar material in texture, size and appearance. Permitted: If vinyl or aluminum siding is the only economic solution to a deteriorating frame house, architectural detail must be visually preserved. The siding used should match the original in style, width, and lap as closely as possible. Prohibited: Do not use asbestos or asphalt siding on frame structures. Do not use artificial brick or cast stone siding on brick, masonry, stucco, or frame structures. Do not sandblast or use harsh detergents in cleaning brick, masonry or stucco. III. STRUCTURES A. ROOFS Preferred: Keep the original shape of the roof. Retain the original roofing material. A special effort should be made to do this when the roof in question is of tile, slate, or some other unique material not usually found today. Preserve or replace all architectural features which give the roof its character, such as dormer windows, cupolas, cornices, brackets, chimneys, cresting, weathervanes, and special eaves. Permitted: When necessary to replace roofing material, match the original as closely as possible in size, shape and texture. Prohibited: Do not add, remove, or alter features which will change its character or the architectural character of the house. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the chimney restoration and repair proposal as the project is consistent with the Standards for this district. On a motion by Lynn Patrick with a second by Sandy Rossow Vote: 7 -0 COA 2010 -0331 was approved with a unanimous vote. STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: April 1, 2010 Application Number: 2010 -0401 Property Location: 503 N. Lafayette Blvd. Architectural Style/Date /Architect or Builder: Vernacular -Gable Front/1900 Property Owner: Burton, Raquel Landmark or District Designation: Chapin Park NRD/LHD Rating: Non - contributing 4 DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: Vernacular 2 storey gable front single family residence with wood framed rectangular plan on concrete foundation, parge coated. ALTERATIONS: Vinyl siding. Replacement 6/6 double hung windows. Glass block windows on South side. Shutters added to windows. Metal awning over entry doors. Concrete stairs leading into front entry door. APPLICATION ITEMS: Remove trees in backyard which obstruct the existing power lines, and plant 1 (one) new tree. Remove bushes in front yard, replace with flower garden, possibly add one small tree. The trees in the backyard of the property at 503 N. Lafayette Blvd. are a hazard and I would like to remove them for this reason. The bushes in the front yard are not hazardous, this decision is aesthetically based. I would like to remove the bushes and plant a flower garden in their place. The three (3) trees in the backyard of my property are intertwined with the power lines (see Exhibits A -1 through A-4). Due to the obstruction of the power lines by the trees, multiple power lines have fallen to the ground (see Exhibit B -1 through B -2). At one point (before I took possession of the property), a pole which held power lines had fallen to the ground. It was likely a storm that caused the pole to fall, but the additional strain of the tree branches pulling on the power lines may have contributed to the worn nature of the structure. I have a 15 month old son, and I will not and cannot allow him to play in our backyard due to the unsafe nature. Due to the above stated reasons, I see no better resolve than to remove the trees completely to allow the power lines to run safely at their elevation, and to plant a tree which is authorized by the Historical Preservation Commission Guidebook which will grow to a height which will not obstruct the power lines in the future. In the front yard of the property, I would like to remove the bushes, which are old and worn and plant a flower garden in their place (see Exhibit D -1 and D -2). DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Homeowner wishes to remove trees that are interfering with power lines in backyard of home. One replacement tree will be planted in backyard. Also, homeowner wishes to remove bushes near fagade in front yard of home and replace with a flower garden. 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. The district environment's notable features are the remaining brick streets, historic streetlights, and a mature tree canopy that provides a park- like atmosphere. This section is meant to protect and guide appropriate maintenance of the common areas, the overall visual landscape and the streetscapes of the district. Required Curving 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, trees and 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. 5 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 not to be uniform in size or shape. There are many pie- shaped and irregular lots. At times, two houses are located on one lot or one and a half lots. Some houses were built around courts and therefore do not face the street. Some buildings have different setbacks compared to the rest of the houses lining the street. Building sites also conform to the varying topography of the area, especially on Lamont Terrace. Alleys are generally behind houses, though the neighborhood was designed with some alleys running along the sides of properties. Most residences have a detached garage located to the rear of the property; some houses were designed with an attached garage. A few building sites are very small and do not accommodate a garage. Landscape accessories like fences and terraces, lawns and gardens, private walks, and auxiliary buildings are unique to each site or structure. Wrought iron fences and low wood picket fences can be found at some building sites. The neighborhood enjoys a mature tree canopy. Deciduous, non - ornamental trees are found in the tree lawns. Upper Lamont Terrace does not have a tree lawn as the sidewalk abuts the street. A sidewalk divides the tree lawn from the lawn on the other streets in the district. Required Fencing, walkways, outbuildings, private yard lights, signs (i.e. house numbers) and benches (visible from the street) as well as trees located in the yard or tree lawns which reflect the property's history and development shall be retained. A tree shall only be removed if the removal is required due to storm damage, disease, threatened damage to a structure, or for such other reasons 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. 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 of removing only those trees on the property of 503 N. Lafayette and the trimming of the trees on the adjacent properties interfering with the power lines. Furthermore, staff recommends the approval of the planting of one new tree that is compatible in variety with those presently growing and will not interfere with the existing power lines as it grows to maturity. Staff recommends the removal of the bushes in the front yard and the replacement of a flower garden as it will compliment the home and enhance the landscaping. On a motion by Linda Riley with a second by David Steinhauer Vote: 7 -0 COA 2010 -0401 was approved with a unanimous vote. STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A Z Date: April 1, 2010 CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Application Number: 2010 -0401A Property Location: 2300 Portage Architectural Style/Date /Architect or Builder: Craftsman/1900 /Claude K. Howell, Architect Property Owner: Stonemor Indiana LLC Landmark or District Designation: Local Landmark Rating: Outstanding DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: The Riverview Cemetery Gatehouse is a two - storey structure with an irregular plan and stone foundation. The walls are rough -cut, irregularly coursed, fieldstone walls with wood paneled gables. The wood gable ends have horizontal, vertical and diagonal half timbering. The roof is covered in red slate, gabled in shape with gable intersects, a front gable dormer and a gabled porte - cochere. The structure also has projecting wooden eaves and open rake. The building boasts a wraparound veranda with Doric half columns, rough cut stone balustrades with stone cap and a porte- cochere set at a 45 degrees angle to the main body of the structure with an open eave gabled roof curved brackets and vertical slats. The windows are double hung wood sash on the first floor and double hung sashes with diamond pattern in the top sash of the second floor. The windows also have stone lintels. The gatehouse also has oval windows set into the curved south wall on either side on the chimney and a glazed wood frame double front door. The Gatehouse is situated between curvilinear drives at the main entrance of the cemetery on the east side of Portage Avenue. There is the remaining half of the granite curved wall with limestone post caps that originally supported the iron main gate securing the entrance. ALTERATIONS: There have been inappropriate repairs to the ridge of the south roof. The storm windows are missing on the structure. The deteriorating brick chimney in the rear kitchen/utility wing of the structure has been covered with a concrete coating as has the foundation. This coating is deteriorating as well. APPLICATION ITEMS: Bartow Builders Contractor for StoneMor Partners, L.P. states: See attachments/Plans. We will have exact mortar combination mix for wall repair for committee review meeting. We are researching yet. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT. Please see attached detailed explanation with photographs and product information. Bartow Builders has been retained by StoneMor Partners to rehabilitate and repair the Gate House and Stone Entrance Wall at Riverview Cemetery. StoneMor also wishes to create a concrete handicap ramp ( #6) from the Porte Cochere (referenced as car port) to the main entrance with the railings set into the concrete. This will necessitate an additional step ( #6) to the front entry. This will step will be recycled from the limestone step currently in the rear of the building that is proposed for replacement with concrete. The re- building and restoration of the remaining section of the original Entrance Wall will include the removal of the near by trees and shrubbery because their root systems are undermining its foundation. More appropriate replacement landscaping selections will prevent this in the future. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: B. Treatment Treatment shall be defined as any change of surface materials that will not alter the style or original form. Such improvements include re- roofing, glazing, or landscaping lawns and may involve a change that can potentially enhance or detract from the character of he landmark. A treatment change of any surface whether on the landmark or in its environment may require a Certificate of Appropriateness if it significantly alters the appearance of the landmark. Although these kinds of changes may not require a Building Permit, a Certificate of Appropriateness may be necessary. The commission should review the proposed treatment for character and style consistency with the original surfaces. C. Renovation and Additions Renovation is the modification of a structure, which does not alter the general massing while and addition, is a change in mass. A modification, which involves the removal of a part of the landmark, should be considered under demolition (see demolition). Additions to landmarks should not detract from the original form and unity of ht landmark and should not cover singular examples of architectural detail. Additions to landmarks should be added in a manner that does not disrupt the visible unity of overall appearance of the site. The proportions, materials and ratios of the existing structures should be carried through in the additions. Care should be taken not to change or alter the following: 1. Structure — Necessary structural improvements, where safety demands should be accomplished in such a way as to cause minimal visual change to the original style and construction. 7 2. Material Additions and improvements involving any new material in the landmark should be of the same material as the original. It should be the same size and texture. An alternative material may be allowed if it duplicates the original. a. wood —all wood trim should conform with existing trim in shape and size. b. siding materials —the Commission discourages the covering or alteration of original materials with additional siding. Structures already sided with incompatible materials should be returned to a siding similar to the original when renovation is considered. G. Buildine Site and Landscanine (These standards apply to both A and B) 1. Required Major landscaping items, trees, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house numbers) and benches which reflect the property's history and development shall be retained. Dominant land contours shall be retained. Structures such as: gazebos, patio decks, fixed barbecue pits, swimming pools, tennis courts, green houses, new walls, fountains, fixed garden furniture, trellises, and other similar structures shall be compatible to the historic character of the site and neighborhood and inconspicuous when viewed from a public way. 2. Recommended New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in photographs, drawings, and newspapers. Plant materials and trees in close proximity to the building that are causing deterioration to the buildings historic fabric should be removed. However, trees and plant materials that must be removed should be immediately replaced by suitable flora. Front yard areas should not be fenced except in cases where historic documentation would indicate such fencing appropriate. Fencing should be in character with the buildings style, materials, and scale. 3. Prohibited No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing major landscaping items, trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings, and 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. The installation of unsightly devices such as TV reception dishes and solar collectors shall not be permitted in areas where they can be viewed from public thoroughfares. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the repairs and the rehabilitation of the Gate House and former Entrance Wall because they follow the guidelines for Local Landmarks and because the work proposed is sympathetic to the aesthetics and integrity of the site and structures. The work proposed is either in -kind repair or restoration of original exterior features of the building including the original doors and windows. The new roof with architectural asphalt shingles ( #8) for the rear wing of the building will replace an older asphalt shingled roof. The new concrete work ( #2) and modifications to the window wells ( #1) are in the rear of the building and will not be noticeable from the main thoroughfare. The utility upgrades will be either underground or screened with landscaping. Staff would prefer that the sidewalk ( #6) be replaced with standard concrete. The installation of the 4 lamp post lighting is not recommended ( #4); staff would prefer to see lighting discretely installed under the porch roof overhang. On a motion by Todd Zeiger, as amended by applicant, for approval of application with a modification in regards to the porch ceiling light to be a fixed fixture of the period rather than a recessed and that the post lights height and style details and porch lights come back for further Commission discussion under existing COA with a second by Linda Riley Vote: 7 -0 COA 2010 -0401A was approved as amended with a unanimous vote. STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: April 5, 2010 Application Number: 2010 -0405 Property Location: 824 Park Avenue Architectural Style/Date /Architect or Builder: Gabeled- ell/1890 Property Owner: Jason Springs and Atalia Omer 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 vinyl set on an irregular brick foundation. The cross gable roof is covered with asphalt shingles there is a gable dormer on the central gable with wide soffit overhang. There is a full width front porch with corner brick piers and brick rail with concrete cap; half of the porch is enclosed. The windows were 6/2 double hung in the porch, 8/1 in the first storey front and 1/1 double hung on the rest of the building. The front door is wood panel with long single light. ALTERATIONS: There was a 1924 addition to the home in the rear. There is aluminum and vinyl siding, There are vinyl shutters on the second storey window. All of the windows appear to be replacement windows. There is a large window and doorway on the north side filled in with glass block, the basement windows have glass blocks as well. APPLICATION ITEMS: In -kind or replacement work depending upon the nature /extent of the damage. Aluminum siding is coming off the house. If it can be repaired in -kind, I would like to. If the cause /damage is systemic I would like to replace (re -side) with material consistent with the rest of the house. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The homeowner wishes to remove sections of siding from the south side of the house to determine the origin of the deterioration that is causing the aluminum siding to fall off. Once the cause has been determined and the necessary repairs made then the siding would be replaced. If the cause of the problem is more widespread and necessitates the removal of all of the siding then the homeowner wishes to replace the older aluminum siding with vinyl siding of a narrower reveal. The homeowners noticed ice dams in the roof and eaves over that area this past winter and think that there is cause for concern. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: Chapin Park 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. Re- pointing 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 9 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. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the removal of the siding to determine the cause of the deterioration and its replacement in -kind. The problematic point on the house appears to be where the east cornice of the south gable meets the body of the house on the south side. There is deterioration of the moulding on the cornice; in addition, the aluminum siding was cut to fit around the cornice and is now gapping away from the body of the house (See photographs). The downspout at the location also appears to be screwed together in a number of places may also be contributing to the problem and may need to be replaced along with the eave. The eave on that side of the house does not completely go to the end of the roofline. Staff also recommends that the home owner have a roofe'r investigate the possibility that the problem may initiate with deterioration of the roofing materials. There appears to be at least three layers of roofing. If the cause is determined to be that of the roof staff then recommends an approval of a complete tear off, repair and re -roof with asphalt shingles of the owners choosing. On a motion by Todd Zeiger, as amended by applicant, for approval of the repair and/or removal of the siding with the applicant to come back with specific options to replace the siding or to repair and paint with a second by Jerry Niezgodski Vote: 7 -0 COA 2010 -0405 was approved as amended with a unanimous vote.
