DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The homeowner proposes to construct a rear roof shed dormer with pedimented- gable; the dormer will have asphalt roofing to match existing and smooth trims and painted 8"siding. The dormer will have 4 Marvin Wood Casement 9 pane windows. The central set will be surrounded by Tuscan columns and outer ones will have fluted pilasters at the outside edge. The fluted pilasters will match an architectural feature of the original house. (See #4) They propose to replace 3 deteriorated steel casement windows on the east and west side of the third floor with Marvin wood narrow Ultimate Replacement Casements with a muntin pattern to match the originals. (See 3 & 2 and photos 2-6). On the rear addition, they propose to remove the vinyl siding and Pella windows and replace the siding with 8" cement board siding and fluted pilasters at the comers and replace the windows with wood Marvin Ultimate Casements with muntin pattern to match the rest of the house (See #2 and photos 1 &7). On the west elevation they propose to add anew 10" Tuscan column to the existing roof overhang.

(See #1 & 2 and photos 1 & 2) They also propose to remove the curved sidewalk to the house and replace it with a straight walkway of concrete with a brick boarder and install new stone paved entry stoop and steps with brick risers. (See #1). Also, they propose to replace an existing deteriorating glass block basement window on the east side with a new glass block window. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: East Wayne Street: B. BUILDING SITES LANDSCAPING AND ACCESSORIES Individual properties in the district are characterized by a house located in the center of a flat lawn, often divided by a walk leading to the front entrance. Several of the residences are sited on two or more building lots; however, the preponderance of the homes have been erected on a single lot. Most of the properties include a double garage, usually located at the rear of the property. The majority of garages are accessed from straight driveways leading from the main thoroughfare, while a few are accessed from the alley. There are also a few homes with a covered carport located at the rear of the property, as well as a few with circular driveways. Driveway and sidewalk materials include concrete, asphalt and brick. All of the properties have trees and most have trimmed shrubbery and/or hedges. Most of the houses conform to a uniform setback line within each block. Required Major landscaping items, 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, greenhouses, new walls, fountains, fixed garden furniture, trellises and other similar structures shall be compatible to the historic character of the site and the neighborhood and inconspicuous when viewed from a public walkway. 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 be appropriate to existing surrounding site elements in scale, type and appearance. Plant materials and trees in close proximity to the building that are causing deterioration to the building's historic fabric should be removed. However, trees and plant materials that must be removed should be immediately replaced by suitable flora. All high intensity security lights should be approved by the Historic Preservation Commission. Prohibited No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing major landscaping items, 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. Front yard areas shall not be fenced and fences shall not extend forward beyond the setback line of the house. The installation of unsightly devices such as television reception dishes and solar collectors shall not be permitted in areas where they can be viewed from the public thoroughfare. Not Recommended Telephone or utility poles with high-intensity overhead lights should be installed so that they cannot be seen from the thoroughfare. III. NEW CONSTRUCTION New construction includes any new building or structure constructed within the boundaries of the historic district, or any new addition to an existing building. New construction should be designed considering the appearance of the other buildings in the neighborhood. A. HEIGHT AND PROPORTION The majority of structures in the district are two stories high and are square, rectangular, or irregular in plan. There are a few story -and -a -half residences. The prevalent facade proportions are between a 1:1 and a 1:2 height -to -width ratio. Required The height of a new structure and its height -to -width proportions shall be consistent with adjacent buildings in the district. The building height shall be no greater than that of the tallest existing structure and no less than that of the lowest existing structure of the same type in the same block. Facade proportions shall be established by permitting no structure with a facade wider or narrower than those existing in the same block. Additions to existing buildings shall be related in height and proportion to the existing structure. Recommended Contemporary designs should be compatible in character and mood to the building or neighborhood. Prohibited Additions may not be constructed that would change the existing facade of a building, alter its scale or architectural character, or add new height. Not Recommended New stories should not be added, nor should existing stories be removed, which would destroy important architectural details, features or spaces of the building. Any style or period of architecture that is incompatible with, what exists should not be permitted in the new additions. B. BUILDING MATERIALS Wall materials in the district include brick, stucco, half-timbering, stone, clapboard, shingle, and metal and vinyl siding. Required Exterior materials used on a new structure shall be compatible in scale, texture and color with adjacent structures. Materials used on an addition to an existing structure shall relate to the existing or original materials of that structure. As much of the original structure as possible shall be retained so that the addition could be removed without damage to the basic structure and appearance of the building. Recommended Metal or vinyl siding may be used when it is the only feasible alternative. This siding should be compatible with the original size and style and with the materials of other buildings in the district. Prohibited Inappropriate materials such as asbestos, asphalt, molded or artificial stone, or artificial brick shall not be used. Not Recommended Glass blocks should not be used. Concrete block should not be used for anything other than foundations. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval as the project conforms to the guidelines for new construction and materials as well as landscaping in the East Wayne Street District. The addition of the rear dormer and proposed enhancements to the addition are sympathic to the architectural character of the Fullenkamp home. The proposed patio with its perimeter walls and the front walkway and entry are also in keeping with the character of the home. The replacement of the deteriorated steel windows on the third floor was recommended by Mark Carney, the craftsman who restored all of the steel casements in this home. Staff recommends the in-kind replacement of the glass block window in the basement lavatory.

It has a rectangular plan, flat roof with metal parapet coping, iron/steel cornice scupper, one over one double -hung wood flame bay windows with simple surrounds, limestone- _ base bay window supported by bracket and simple one over one wood double -hung window units through out with limestone sills. The building has brick masonry walls with limestone quoining, brick dentils and limestone cornice. It has a wood and glass entrance door with decorated surrounds, arch cornice with keystone and concretesteps with the inscription "The Rushton". `_The porch entrance is supported by decorated brick piers with eyebrow cornice and - : brackets on each side with concrete step, concrete floor. and concrete foundation. The south - entrance door has an oversized, full light and the west door- is a half light (nine over nine divided light configuration) with arched transom. . uminum storm windows have been installed. ALTERATIONS:. Some al _ , APPLICATION ITEMS: Please see attached written description.: _ DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: A representative from Kil Architecture submitted the proposal' on behalf of._the_ownef ,Indiana -- :;-:.. Landmarks. The rehabilitation plans arein the beginning design phase,andare intended to 'give , the Commission an overview of the proposed exterior improvements and an early chance to offer - suggestions. The application items that are considered in-kind are available in detail in the submitted attachments and can be considered Staff approved or Routine Maintenance Exclusion and will not be elaborated on in this report. The application items to be considered by the Commission include 1. Removal of an existing deteriorated metal fire escape that is tucked into an alcove carved out of the building footprint to:,._ accommodate.the.addition of a new. fire -rated stair enclosure; elevator, and -ADA -accessible entry vestibule on the west fagade. It is within this alcove that the -new one storey accessible entry and full four storey height elevator will be built. The addition will be brick selected to closely resemble the existing common brick as seen on the west side -.----Th e- door will be a wide`-~ stile aluminum door (5" stiles, 5" head and intermediate rail and 10" bottom rail) with upper and --lower insulated glass light. The flame will be aluminum. See west elevation and site plan. 2. Replace existing low sloped membrane roof with new white colored TPO adhered roof including - newflashing; roof drains; and drain stacks to be tied into storm drainage system. - 3. _Remove - s'(6#6 over one, wood ---- existing aluminum storm windows.° Install Marvin -sash pack replacement== interior/aluminum clad exterior) within the existing frames. Exterior wood trim will be repaired, scraped and repainted with an oil based primer and two coats of a high performance latex paint. Exterior sills will be repaired or replaced as necessary. Steel lintels over windows will be repaired and repainted or replaced in-kind if deteriorated beyond repair. The projecting window bay metal roofs will be repaired, re -flashed and repainted or replaced in-kind if required. See March 5 letter from Indiana Landmarks regarding the state of the windows. Staff concurs that rehabilitating what is left of the original windows may not be the best option. There are about 130 windows on the Rushton, not counting the alcove where the new entrance is proposed. Many windows have entire sashes missing and a good number of the windows qualify as deteriorated beyond repair. The aluminum storm windows are nothing but frames, no screen, no glass and have not protected the windows for at least a decade. The proposed replacement is a suitable selection for the building as it will provide minimum visual change and will allow for the existing jamb to remain in place. A prototype unit is intended for installation for everyone to weigh in on. 4. The plan is for the doors to be repaired but they have been boarded up for a long time and haven't been thoroughly evaluated yet. If replacement is necessary, the owner proposes to retain the existing frame and replace the panel with a new unit in wood or aluminum that will be compatible with the original style. 5. Regarding masonry, the proposal is to perform selective tuck -pointing and repair to the limestone as required. Cracked or damaged brick will be replaced with brick to match as closely as possible. Old metal anchors will be removed and holes repaired. Open vertical joints are proposed to be ground out and repaired with a soft sealant joint to allow for movement, reducing the possible damage to the adjacent brick. 6. New exterior lighting is proposed under the covered south porch at the entry door and at the new west entrance, style to be determined. GROUP B LOCAL LANDMARK STANDARDS: The Commission has the authority to determine the architectural merits and the extent of any proposed treatment, renovation, or addition to a historic landmark. The commission will require drawings, plans, specifications, and/or samples where appropriate. A. Maintenance The maintenance of any historical structure or site shall in no way involve any direct physical change except for the general cleaning and upkeep of the landmark. The Commission shall encourage the proper maintenance of all structure or sites. 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 the 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 ----411 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... D. Demolition Historic landmarks shall not be demolished. When a landmark poses a threat to the public safety, and demolition is the only alternative, documentation by way of photographs, measured drawings, or . other descriptive methods should a make of both the exterior and interior. of the landmark. The person or agency responsible for demolition of the landmark shall be responsible for this documentation. E. Movin The moving of landmarks is discouraged, however, moving is preferred to demolition. When moving is necessary, the owner, of the landmark must apply to the Commission for a Certificate of Appropriateness. F. Signs No neon or flashing signs will be permitted unless they are original to the structure. Billboards and super -graphics will also be disallowed: Only one appropriate identifying sign will be permitted per business. _ G. Buildinu Site and Landscaning 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 ietained 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 roximi - - - -- . - p. tY-. : 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 incases where '- n.: , historic documentation would indicate such fencing appropriate. Fencing should be character with the buildings style, materials, and scale. ; 3. Prohibited --No changes maybe 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 for all in-kind repairs. In addition, Staff recommends approval of the proposed projects with the condition that the unspecified elements related to the doors and lighting receive additional review by the Commission. Staff asks that Indiana Landmarks notify the Commission when the prototype window unit is available to preview.

The building was constructed in 1906 as a four-story apartment building with basement. It featured approximately 30 apartments with a common eating area in the lower level dining room. The proposed unit count for the rehabilitation is 23 apartments. The building is approximately 22,262 square feet in total and has a height of four stories and a basement. The exterior of the existing building will not be significantly modified except to accommodate access to and egress from the building as required by the building code (new entry vestibule, fire exit stair and hydraulic elevator). The existing south and east entrances will be retained. No new openings are planned in the south and east fagade. North and west facades may have minor changes such as laundry vent penetrations. The stair, elevator and entry addition is on a secondary elevation of the building, the west fagade. Since all 3 other elevations are essentially rehabilitated without any major change, significant historic character defining features of the project will be retained. Mechanical units (AC condensers and rooftop units for common spaces) will be placed on the roof. Other - ventilation systems, where possible, will be designed with roof for exhaust or intake, not side-wall - penetrations. Proposed exterior work is as follows: Demolition: Selective demolition is proposed at the west facade to provide the new west elevator, entrance and stair tower addition. Other than this west addition, no new window or door openings are proposed as part of this project. Demolition includes the removal of the existing metal fire escape on the west fagade. Site: The building site is minimal and essentially a zero lot line building. The structure is situated at the northwest corner of the intersection of Washington and William Street: Street curbs and walks disturbed by construction of new site utilities will be replaced. There is essentially no landscaping on the lot, except for a small section at the west side of the parcel. _ K I L ARCHITECTURE PLANNING www.kilarchitecture.com 1126 LINCOLNWAY EAST SOUTH BEND IN 46601 (574) 288.2654 VOICE 289. 2420 FAX Elevator and Fire. Stair Addition: A new elevator and fire stair addition is planned for the west of the building. This new fire -rated stair enclosure will be constructed at the west entry to meet egress requirements and to provide an accessible route to all levels. A new entry vestibule will serve as the - accessible access point into the building at this west location:'; (See proposed plans for more information). Roof: Replacement of the existing low sloped membrane roof with a new white colored TPO adhered roof on the building. New insulation will be installed over the existing wood (south part) and concrete deck (north part). Where required, the deck will be repaired. The building will receive new . flashings as part of the new roofing systems. Roof drains will I be replaced and tied into new drain stacks to be tied -into the storm drainage system. Overflows will be provided. Windows:- The existing exterior window trim is in poor to acceptable condition. The existing sash is in poor. condition and the rehabilitation plan calls for window sash replacement with Marvin sash pack wood replacement system (1 over 1 wood sash double hung units: aluminum clad'exterior and insulated,glazing) within the existing wood frame. The existing wood frame and interior trim would be retained.

Masonry:. Existing brick is in fair to good shape. The building has 3 types of brick: hard fired ironspot on the main facades (east and south) with thin "bufferjoints".

It has wood frame construction and siding that set upon an irregular brick foundation. The roof has side gables with an intersecting front hip and a front gable dormer. The roof has asphalt shingles. There are entry porches on either side of the front with Doric column supports wood balustrades, steps and floors. There is a front bay window on the south side of the first storey. Those front windows are Jen Weld casement windows. The windows on the rest of house are 1/1 wood double hung. ALTERATIONS: The glass block in the basement windows is not original. In 2002 COA#2002-0128a was issued to replace roof with asphalt shingles. In 2007 COA 2007- 0607 was issued to repair and patch the roof, replace rotting wood siding, repair porches and foundation, replace security doors and to repair and replace windows; the front Jen Weld -windows _were installed at that -time replacing windows that _did _not appear to be original. In 2009 COA 2009-0211 was issued to demolish the deteriorated garage in the rear of the house. APPLICATION ITEMS: Fix the windows and replace the clapboard. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: % Original windows were removed on the north and south side of the first floor. The windows were not standard side and were replaced with 4 Pella vinyl double hung windows. A smaller sliding vinyl Crestline window on the north side was installed in the opening which will have clapboard infill to match the existing siding. There are also 5 windows on the second floor that if they cannot be repaired will be replaced with wood windows to match what is currently there and fill in with clapboards if necessary. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES C. Wmows AND DOORS Window and door frames are in most cases wood. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels. In some cases where additional siding has been applied window trim has been covered. Many structures in the district have aluminum storm windows. Some houses retain wood framed 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 frame storm windows and doors painted to match the original should be used but should not damage existing frames and'should be removable. If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design and hardware should be used. When metal storm doors and windows 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 re- used in place. New window and door openings which would alter the scale and proportion of the building shall 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 Awnings, hoods and fake shutters made of metal, vinyl or fiberglass should not be used if they would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the project. The windows that were in the house have been removed and discarded. Staff is working with the owner to make more appropriate choices if window replacement is needed for the second floor.

As the weather improves, more construction and remodeling will commence. We have had a few calls in regards to guidance about future projects including: 906-908 Leland and 612-614 South Carroll, which were both for windows. We also experienced even more activity in regards to 106s and demolitions. Twenty-six houses we're considered for 106 grants and eleven houses considered by the city for demolition. 1110 Harvey is part of that list and unfortunately has been stripped and gutted beyond repair. 502 Laporte was considered by the commission for historic recognition in 2001, (at least the rear structure of the building), but was not designated as such. -. - --- - We were also able to stop and find a lack of permit for 615 Edgewater, re -roofing Houses turned in for Code Violation: 615 S St Joseph 519 S St Joseph 707 Rex St 609 Rex St 715 South St. I have met with Craig Barber, our certified painter, at our workshop location in New Carlisle. Our friends at United Coating Technologies have graciously donated the necessary primers for the project. We are currently planning our workshop agenda and syllabus. I will include that information in next month's report. Steve Szaday Preservation Specialist Historic Preservation Commission President's Report — March 19th, 2012 • 02/27/2012 7:OOP: HPC Monthly Meeting (Rm 1308). • 03/02/2012 9:3OA-3:3OP: . Coordinate an opportunity with Elicia for my daughter Kelly to satisfy her community service obligation (as set forth by St. John the Baptist Catholic School). Kelly re -copied approximately 500 -survey card documents from South Bend's St. Casimir district, and sorted them by street address. Kelly also began organizing the HPC periodical collection. I delivered a door bracket from Lynn Patrick's rehabbed screen door (that I repaired using "Minwax High Performance Wood Filler" and circulated during the last monthly meeting). It will continue to serve as a model when explaining the ease, durability and appearance of epoxy products (including Abatron). • 03/02/2012 3:00-5:00P: Kelly continued her service work with the HPC by reorganizing office supplies, periodicals and stockroom inventory. • 03/03/20122:45P -5:15P: Kelly finished more work in the stockroom and office supplies cabinet. 03/14,15,16/2012: There are many facets to preservation and countless ways to demonstrate its benefits in sustaining community assets. In addition to serving on the Historic Preservation Commission, I am also a founding board member of Chapin Park, Inc., a local community development corporation whose preference is to rehabilitate buildingsihouses using cost-effective rehabilitation methods over replacement. CPI's tagline is, "Preserving Buildings, Transforming South Bend Neighborhoods". This month, I was informed that the New York Times was interested in doing a story about community efforts to revitalize South Bend housing during this national economic crisis. The `Times was interested in exploring CPI and its current project at 612 Portage Avenue. Elicia Feasel and I were invited to participate in the story as current members of the CPI board and advocates for preservation. My position with respect to the project house has been technical. So I provided detailed information about window and floor rehabilitation methods/improvements that I developed for this CPI project. I took several opportunities to promote the HPC as well. I even made sure to tout the virtues of linseed oil conditioning. I found the "Time's" documentary process to be extensive and educational. CPI was interviewed by: Susan Saulny NY Times National Correspondent, Craig Duff — Multimedia Joumalist/Professor of Journalism Northwestern University and Sally Ryan — Chicago Photo Journalist for the NY Times/Wall Street Journal. CPI was informed that the article would appear in the next few weeks. Additional content including the video documentary will be available on NYTimes.com.

BUILDING SITE, LANDSCAPING AND ACCESSORIES Individual properties in the district are characterized by a house located in the center of a flat lawn, often divided by a walk leading to the front entrance. Several of the residences are sited on two or more building lots; however, the preponderance of the homes have been erected on a single lot. Most of the properties include a double garage, usually located at the rear of the property. The majority of garages are accessed from straight driveways leading from the main thoroughfare, while a few are accessed from the alley. There are also a few homes with a covered carport located at the rear of the property, as well as a few with circular driveways. Driveway and sidewalk materials include concrete, asphalt and brick. All of the properties have trees and most have trimmed shrubbery and/or hedges. Most of the houses conform to a uniform setback line within each block.

Not Recommended Telephone or utility poles with high-intensity overhead lights should be installed so that they cannot be seen from the thoroughfare. III. NEW CONSTRUCTION New construction includes any new building or structure constructed within the boundaries of the historic district, or any new addition to an existing building. New construction should be designed considering the appearance of the other buildings in the neighborhood. A. HEIGHT AND PROPORTION The majority of structures in the district are two stories high and are square, rectangular, or irregular in plan. There are a few story -and -a -half residences. The prevalent facade proportions are between a 1:1 and a 1:2 height -to -width ratio. Required The height of a new structure and its height -to -width proportions shall be consistent with adjacent buildings in the district. The building height shall be no greater than that of the tallest existing structure and no less than that of the lowest existing structure of the same type in the same block. Facade proportions shall be established by permitting no structure with a facade wider or narrower than those existing in the same block. Additions to existing buildings shall be related in height and proportion to the existing structure. Recommended Contemporary designs should be compatible in character and mood to the building or neighborhood. Prohibited Additions may not be constructed that would change the existing facade of a building, alter its scale or architectural character, or add new height. Not Recommended New stories should not be added, nor should existing stories be removed, which would destroy important architectural details, features or spaces of the building. Any style or period of architecture that is incompatible with what exists should not be permitted in the new additions. B. BUILDING MATERIALS Wall materials in the district include brick, stucco, half-timbering, stone, clapboard, shingle, and metal and vinyl siding. Required Exterior materials used on a new structure shall be compatible in scale, texture and color with adjacent structures. Materials used on an addition to an existing structure shall relate to the existing or original materials of that structure. As much of the original structure as possible shall be retained so that the addition could be removed without damage to the basic structure and appearance of the building. Recommended Metal or vinyl siding may be used when it is the only feasible alternative. This siding should be compatible with the original size and style and with the materials of other buildings in the district. Prohibited Inappropriate materials such as asbestos, asphalt, molded or artificial stone, or artificial brick shall not be used. Not Recommended Glass blocks should not be used. Concrete block should not be used for anything other than foundations. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval as the project conforms to the guidelines for new construction and materials as well as landscaping in the East Wayne Street District. The addition of the rear dormer and proposed enhancements to the addition are sympathic to the architectural character of the Fullenkamp home. The proposed patio with its perimeter walls and the front walkway and entry are also in keeping with the character of the home. The replacement of the deteriorated steel windows on the third floor was recommended by Mark Camey, the craftsman who restored all of the steel casements in this home. Staff recommends the in-kind replacement of the glass block window in the basement lavatory.

STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS --Date: March 5,20l2-------- Application ,2012 -- Application Number: 2012-0305A Property Location: 501 West Washington - Rushton Apartment Building Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Neo-Classical/1906/Austin & Schneider Property Owner: Indiana Landmarks Landmark or District Designation: a Local Landmark in the West Washington National Register District Rating: Notable DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: This is a four -storey Neo -Classical style apartment building. It has a rectangular plan, flat roof with metal parapet coping, iron/steel cornice scupper, one over one double -hung wood frame bay windows with simple surrounds, limestone base bay window supported by bracket and simple one over one wood double -hung window units through out with limestone sills. The building has brick masonry walls with limestone quoining, brick dentils and limestone cornice. It has a wood and glass entrance door with decorated surrounds, arch cornice with keystone and concrete steps with the inscription "The Rushton". The porch entrance is supported by decorated brick piers with eyebrow cornice and brackets on each side with concrete step, concrete floor and concrete foundation. The south entrance door has an oversized, full light and the west door is a half light (nine over nine divided light configuration) with arched transom. ALTERATIONS: Some aluminum storm windows have been installed. APPLICATION ITEMS: Please see attached written description. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: A representative from Kil Architecture submitted the proposal on behalf of the owner, Indiana Landmarks. The rehabilitation plans are in the beginning design phase and are intended to give the Commission an overview of the proposed exterior improvements and an early chance to offer suggestions. The application items that are considered in-kind are available in detail in the submitted attachments and can be considered Staff approved or Routine Maintenance Exclusion and will not be elaborated on in this report. The application items to be considered by the Commission include 1. Removal of an existing deteriorated metal fire escape that is tucked into an alcove carved out of the building footprint to accommodate the addition of a new fire -rated stair enclosure, elevator, and ADA -accessible entry vestibule on the west fagade. It is within this alcove that the new one storey accessible entry and full four storey height elevator will be built. The addition will be brick selected to closely resemble the existing common brick as seen on the west side. The door will be a wide stile aluminum door (5" stiles, 5" head and intermediate rail and 10" bottom rail) with upper and lower insulated glass light. The frame will be aluminum. See west elevation and site plan. 2. Replace existing low sloped membrane roof with new white colored TPO adhered roof including new flashing, roof drains, and drain stacks to be tied into storm drainage system. 3. Remove existing aluminum storm windows. Install Marvin sash pack replacements (one over one, wood interior/aluminum clad exterior) within the existing frames. Exterior wood trim will be repaired, scraped and repainted with an oil based primer and two coats of a high performance latex paint. Exterior sills will be repaired or replaced as necessary. Steel lintels over windows will be repaired and repainted or replaced in-kind if deteriorated beyond repair. The projecting window bay metal roofs will be repaired, re -flashed and repainted or replaced in-kind if required. See March 5 letter from Indiana Landmarks regarding the state of the windows. Staff concurs that rehabilitating what is left of the original windows may not be the best option. There are about 130 windows on the Rushton, not counting the alcove where the new entrance is proposed. Many windows have entire sashes missing and a good number of the windows qualify as deteriorated beyond repair. The aluminum storm windows are nothing but frames, no screen, no glass and have not protected the windows for at least a decade. The proposed replacement is a suitable selection for the building as it will provide minimum visual change and will allow for the existing jamb to remain in place. A prototype unit is intended for installation for everyone to weigh in on. 4. The plan is for the doors to be repaired but they have been boarded up for a long time and haven't been thoroughly evaluated yet. If replacement is necessary, the owner proposes to retain the existing frame and replace the panel with a new unit in wood or aluminum that will be compatible with the original style. 5. Regarding masonry, the proposal is to perform selective tuck -pointing and repair to the limestone as required. Cracked or damaged brick will be replaced with brick to match as closely as possible. Old metal anchors will be removed and holes repaired. Open vertical joints are proposed to be ground out and repaired with a soft sealant joint to allow for movement, reducing the possible damage to the adjacent brick. 6. New exterior lighting is proposed under the covered south porch at the entry door and at the new west entrance, style to be determined. GROUP B LOCAL LANDMARK STANDARDS: The Commission has the authority to determine the architectural merits and the extent of any proposed treatment, renovation, or addition to a historic landmark. The commission will require drawings, plans, specifications, and/or samples where appropriate. A. Maintenance The maintenance of any historical structure or site shall in no way involve any direct physical change except for the general cleaning and upkeep of the 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. D. Demolition Historic landmarks shall not be demolished. When a landmark poses a threat to the public safety, and demolition is the only alternative, documentation byway of photographs, measured drawings, or other descriptive methods should a make of both the exterior and interior of the — — - - landmark. The person or agency responsible for demolition of the landmark shall be responsible for this documentation. E. Movin The moving of landmarks is discouraged, however, moving is preferred to demolition. When moving is necessary, the owner of the landmark must apply to the Commission for a Certificate of Appropriateness. F. Signs No neon or flashing signs will be permitted unless they are original to the structure. Billboards and super -graphics will also be disallowed. Only one appropriate identifying sign will be permitted per business. G. Building Site and Landscaoine 1.

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 for all in-kind repairs. In addition, Staff recommends approval of the proposed projects with the condition that the unspecified elements related to the doors and lighting receive additional review by the Commission. Staff asks that Indiana Landmarks notify the Commission when the prototype window unit is available to preview. On a motion by Jerry Niezgodski with a second by Mike Voll to approve application as submitted. Chair clarified that the motion includes the recommendations as submitted by Staff.
