Coa #2012-0314 Continued with Conditions.
"On a motion by Jcrry Niezgodski with a second by Mike Voll to continue the application
with the condition that applicant work with Staff to obtain a suitable quote to get windows
appropriate to the house and for Staff to give an opinion on the original window style."
The Staff was able to ascertain that the windows at 612-614 Carroll were wood 1/1 double
hung windows as noted in the survey cards and blow ups of the photographs from 1979
and 1988. The house appears to aluminum sided and from a file photograph from July
2001 taken from the alley the window opening on the side appears to have been modified.
The file photographs for COA #2007-0607 show the house stripped of the aluminum and
with the wood siding and windows being repaired and/or boarded up.
The following quotes were received from Pella Windows:
For the large north and south side windows:
Pella does not make a single double hung window in the dimension of 54"X70". It offers a
Non -Standard Size Double Hung Equal Split with a frame size of 27" X 70" for $1,558.98.
The house would require two windows totaling $3,117.96.
For the north side dining room windows:
This opening is 84" X 55" and had three double hung windows
Non Standard Size Double Hung, Equal Split Frame Size 28" X 55" $2,073.11
All of these windows are Special Order and Staff has die paper work detailing this
information.

STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: Chapin Park
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 as it conforms to the guidelines of the Chapin Park
District.

STAFF REPORT
CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
Date: May 7, 2012
Application Number: 2012-0507B
Property Location: 710 North St. Joseph
Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Queen Anne / 1907
Property Owner: William and Catherine Hostetler
Landmark or District Designation: River Bend LHD
Rating: Contributing
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: This two storey square plan single family house sits on top
a rusticated concrete block foundation. The steeply pitched hip roof has a centered gabled roof projection
and is covered in asphalt shingles. A first storey front porch has a gabled entry over steps. %2 high
rusticated concrete piers with square tapered wood columns support the hipped porch roof. Porch has
concrete steps and wood decking. The walls of the house are vinyl siding. Windows are 1/1 double hung
wood with aluminum storm windows. An aluminum storm door shields a wood front door with a single
pane window. A small vinyl sided garage sits on the north side of the house.
ALTERATIONS: Vinyl replacement siding has been installed. Aluminum storm windows and storm
door have been installed. A second front entrance with a second storey balcony on the south are not
original.
APPLICATION ITEMS: Replace eaves trough in-kind. Replace driveway and sidewalk with bricks.
Repair columns and replace railings. Install brick patio. Deck and railing on balcony. Fence along alley
and around patio.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Gutter is aluminum and will be replaced in-kind.
Driveway and sidewalk are currently concrete and are each deteriorated and will be replaced with the
same Hollandstone Rustic Red bricks. A broken sidewalk on the side will also be replaced with same
bricks leading up to wood steps that will be replaced in-kind. It is on this side that a petite patio of the
same brick will be installed (there is no back yard so this will serve as the "back yard"). On the front
porch, the vinyl is only covering framing and is barely attached. The vinyl and wood will be removed
entirely and in its place, a repurposed wrought iron rail will be installed pier to pier. The existing wrought
iron railing on the stairs will be restored. All other work related to the porch was approved by Routine
Maintenance Exclusion 2012-0420A. A black wrought iron or aluminum fence will be installed around
the patio to complete the "back yard". Along the alley from the front corner of the house to the back
corner, install a six foot high wood fence to shield house from nearby traffic. At the rear second storey, a
1 '/4" pipe rail currently exists around the 4' x 16' balcony. The owner proposes to attach 36" high black
aluminum fence panels to the pipe rail for added security and to improve the aesthetics. To protect the
user while walking on the balcony's waterproof covering, owner proposes to install wood decking of
pressure treated wood over the roof membrane.
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES:
I. THE ENVIRONMENT
B. BUILDING SITE, LANDSCAPING, & ACCESSORIES
Individual properties in the district are characterized by a house located near the front of each lot,
with a small lawn in front and a larger lawn to the rear of the property. Those properties facing the
river on Riverside Drive generally have sloping front lawns and flat back yards. The majority of
structures have been erected on a single lot. Many of the properties include a garage located at the
rear of the property accessed from unpaved alleys running behind the property. Most properties
have trees, shrubbery and/or hedges. All houses conform to the uniform set -back within each block.
The district has a compact layout. Large homes are constructed on small lots while smaller homes,
such as those on Hammond Place, are constructed on narrow, deep lots. Little of the backyard areas or
rear first stories of these homes is visible from the thoroughfare. In recognition of this, greater latitude
will be allowed in the application of the adopted standards in the rear of the properties, in order to
accommodate the individual preferences of the property owners in the treatment of these backyard areas.
No approval will be necessary for changes in lawn, shrubs, walkways or semi-permanent surface changes
in the rear of houses. Staff approval would be required for semi-permanent structures such as gazebos, but
not for play equipment such as swing sets, sand -boxes, etc.
Required
Plants, trees, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house numbers) and benches which reflect the
properties' history and development shall be retained.
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. Accessory structures such as decks, gazebos, fountains, or small
outbuildings should be appropriate to surrounding site elements in scale, type and appearance. Plant
materials in close proximity to the buildings and which are causing deterioration to the building's historic
fabric should be removed and replaced by more suitable flora as approved by the Historic Preservation
Commission.
Prohibited
No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing trees, fencing, walkways,
outbuildings or other site 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, or fences shall not extend forward beyond the setback line of the
property. Telephone or utility poles with high intensity overhead lights should be installed so that they
cannot be seen from the thoroughfare. The installation of unsightly, large devices such as television
satellite dishes shall not be permitted in areas
II. EXISTING STRUCTURES
A. BUILDING MATERIALS
Original exterior wall materials in the District include brick, stucco, clapboard, wood shingles and
masonry block. In some instances, vinyl or aluminum siding has been applied over the original material.
Required
Original exterior building materials shall be retained. Deterioration of wood materials shall be prevented
through repair, cleaning and painting. The existing architectural detail around windows, porches, doors
and eaves should be retained or replaced by replicas of the same design and materials when deteriorated
beyond repair. Masonry including brick and stucco shall be cleaned only when necessary to halt
deterioration or to remove stains, and shall be done with a method acceptable for the preservation of the
surface: i.e. low pressure water and soft natural bristle brushes. When repairing stucco, only appropriate
stucco mixture shall be used.
Recommended
Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored. Metal or vinyl may be used as an
alternative to maintaining or replacing the original surface material when it resembles the original surface
material. 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. Ample ventilation must be afforded the structure when aluminum
or vinyl is to be installed in order to prevent increased deterioration of the structure from moisture and/or
insects. 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.
Prohibited
Wood siding shall not be resurfaced with material such as artificial stone, brick veneer, asbestos or asphalt
shingles, which is inappropriate or was unavailable when the building was constructed. Sandblasting or
the use of harsh detergents shall not be used on masonry or stucco. This method of cleaning erodes the
surface material and accelerates deterioration.
Not Recommended
Waterproof or water repellent coatings or surface consolidation treatments should not be used on masonry
surfaces unless required to solve a specific problem that has been studied and identified. Coatings are
frequently unnecessary and expensive, and can accelerate deterioration of the masonry. Mortar joints
which do not need repointing should not be. Repointing should not be done with mortar of high Portland
cement content, which can often create a bond that is stronger than the building materials. This can cause
deterioration as a result of the differing porosity of the material and the mortar — the end result being
serious damage to adjacent brick. Paint should not be removed from masonry surfaces indiscriminately.
D. ENTRANCES PORCHES AND STEPS
Most houses in the district have either an open or a closed porch across the front. Most porches have
either gabled, hipped, shed or flat roofs. Many frame porch floors and steps have been replaced with
concrete.
REQUIRED
Existing or original porches and steps, including handrails, balusters, columns, brackets, tiles and roof
decorations, shall be retained, or replaced with replicas of the same design and materials when
deteriorated beyond repair. Porches and additions reflecting later architectural styles, and which are
important to the building's historical integrity, shall be retained.
Recommended
When enclosing porches for heat conservation or for other reasons, it should be done in a manner that
does not alter the architectural or historical character of the building.
Prohibited
Front porches and steps that are important to the building's style and character shall not be altered or
removed.
Not Recommended
Original porch details should not be replaced with materials representing a different period or style from
the original.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Eaves trough approved as in-kind Routine Maintenance Exclusion.
Staff recommends the proposed brick driveway, sidewalk and patio, as work is appropriate to existing
surrounding site elements in scale, type and appearance. Staff recommends the removal of the porch
non -original vinyl knee wall and the installation of wrought iron as it conforms to the Standards and
Guidelines. Staff recommends approval for both the metal fence around the new patio area and the wood
privacy fence around the rear yard as they conform to the Standards and Guidelines. Staff recommends
approval of the second storey balcony as it will improve security for the user and will improve the
aesthetics as well.

STAFF REPORT
CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
Date: May 7, 2012
Application Number: 2012-0507C
Property Location: 617 N. Chapin Place .
Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Gabled Ell / 1895
Property Owner: Charles Jevremovic.
Landmark or District Designation: Chapin Park LHD / NRD
Rating: Contributing
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: This 1 %z storey rectangular plan house sits upon a brick
foundation. The walls are wood shingle with decorative shingle variation in the gable. An open stoop
porch with square posts and a pediment protrudes from the southeast corner of the house. There is a
variety of windows including 6 / 1 and multi -lite picture windows. Shed roof dormers extend nearly the
length of the roof on both sides of the gable. All roofing material appears to be 3 -tab asphalt shingle,
however, a tarp is attached to the dormer roofs.
ALTERATIONS: The dormers appear to be constructed in 1946. The wood shingles that face the
dormers are also installed over the first storey walls. A metal rail is installed on the porch. Decorative
shutters have been installed on the first storey windows and some of the windows have aluminum storm
windows installed.
APPLICATION ITEMS: Replace roofing material as the pitch is not sufficient for asphalt shingles
(<3:12). Rubber membrane where the pitch is less than 3:12. Shingles elsewhere.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The formerly vacant house has had a tarp on the
dormers for over one year, covering the failing asphalt shingles. The new owner proposes to install
EPDM membrane over only the roofs of the dormers because the low pitch does not properly drain,
causing asphalt roofing material to allow water to leak into the house. Taking into consideration the
location of the house surrounded by the rear yards of three three-storey houses and surrounded by trees,
the roof will not be visible from the street. There are no plans for gutters, drip edge or flashing at this.
time. The other parts of the roof that currently have 3 -tab shingles are to remain as is as they are still in
service.

STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: Chapin Park
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 as it conforms to the guidelines of the Chapin Park District.
On a motion by Lynn Patrick with a second by Alice McLane to approve application as

DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: This two storey square plan single family house sits on top a rusticated concrete
block foundation. The steeply pitched hip roof has a centered gabled roof projection and is covered in asphalt shingles. A first
storey front porch has a gabled entry over steps. %z high rusticated concrete piers with square tapered wood columns support the
hipped porch roof. Porch has concrete steps and wood decking. The walls of the house are vinyl siding. Windows are 1/1
double hung wood with aluminum storm windows. An aluminum storm door shields a wood front door with a single pane
window. A small vinyl sided garage sits on the north side of the house.
ALTERATIONS: Vinyl replacement siding has been installed. Aluminum storm windows and storm door have been installed.
A second front entrance with a second storey balcony on the south are not original.
APPLICATION ITEMS: Replace eaves trough in-kind. Replace driveway and sidewalk with bricks. Repair columns and
replace railings. Install brick patio. Deck and railing on balcony. Fence along alley and around patio.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Gutter is aluminum and will be replaced in-kind. Driveway and sidewalk are
currently concrete and are each deteriorated and will be replaced with the same Hollandstone Rustic Red bricks. A broken
sidewalk on the side will also be replaced with same bricks leading up to wood steps that will be replaced in-kind. It is on this
side that a petite patio of the same brick will be installed (there is no back yard so this will serve as the "back yard'). On the
front porch, the vinyl is only covering framing and is barely attached. The vinyl and wood will be removed entirely and in its
place, a repurposed wrought iron rail will be installed pier to pier. The existing wrought iron railing on the stairs will be restored.
All other work related to the porch was approved by Routine Maintenance Exclusion 2012-0420A. A black wrought iron or
aluminum fence will be installed around the patio to complete the "back yard". Along the alley from the front comer of the
house to the back comer, install a six foot high wood fence to shield house from nearby traffic. At the rear second storey, a 1 '/d'
pipe rail currently exists around the 4' x 16' balcony. The owner proposes to attach 36" high black aluminum fence panels to the
pipe rail for added security and to improve the aesthetics. To protect the user while walking on the balcony's waterproof
covering, owner proposes to install wood decking of pressure treated wood over the roof membrane.
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES:
I. THE ENVIRONMENT
B. BUILDING SITE, LANDSCAPING, & ACCESSORIES
Individual properties in the district are characterized by a house located near the front of each lot, with a small lawn in front and a
larger lawn to the rear of the property. Those properties facing the river on Riverside Drive generally have sloping front lawns
and flat back yards. The majority of structures have been erected on a single lot. Many of the properties include a garage located
at the rear of the property accessed from unpaved alleys running behind the property. Most properties have trees, shrubbery
and/or hedges. All houses conform to the uniform set -back within each block. The district has a compact layout. Large homes are
constructed on small lots while smaller homes, such as those on Hammond Place, are constructed on narrow, deep lots. Little of
the backyard areas or rear first stories of these homes is visible from the thoroughfare. In recognition of this, greater latitude
will be allowed in the application of the adopted standards in the rear of the properties, in order to accommodate the individual
preferences of the property owners in the treatment of these backyard areas. No approval will be necessary for changes in lawn,
shrubs, walkways or semi-permanent surface changes in the rear of houses. Staff approval would be required for semi-permanent
structures such as gazebos, but not for play equipment such as swing sets, sand -boxes, etc.
Required
Plants, trees, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house numbers) and benches which reflect the properties' history and
development shall be retained.
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.
Accessory structures such as decks, gazebos, fountains, or small outbuildings should be appropriate to surrounding site elements
in scale, type and appearance. Plant materials in close proximity to the buildings and which are causing deterioration to the
building's historic fabric should be removed and replaced by more suitable flora as approved by the Historic Preservation
Commission.
Prohibited
No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings or other site 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, or fences shall not extend forward beyond the
setback line of the property. Telephone or utility poles with high intensity overhead lights should be installed so that they cannot
be seen from the thoroughfare. The installation of unsightly, large devices such as television satellite dishes shall not be permitted
in areas
II. EXISTING STRUCTURES
A. BUILDING MATERIALS
Original exterior wall materials in the District include brick, stucco, clapboard, wood shingles and masonry block. In some
instances, vinyl or aluminum siding has been applied over the original material.
Required
Original exterior building materials shall be retained. Deterioration of wood materials shall be prevented through repair, cleaning
and painting. The existing architectural detail around windows, porches, doors and eaves should be retained or replaced by
replicas of the same design and materials when deteriorated beyond repair. Masonry including brick and stucco shall be cleaned
only when necessary to halt deterioration or to remove stains, and shall be done with a method acceptable for the preservation of
the surface: i.e. low pressure water and soft natural bristle brushes. When repairing stucco, only appropriate stucco mixture shall
be used.
Recommended
Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored. Metal or vinyl may be used as an alternative to
maintaining or replacing the original surface material when it resembles the original surface material. 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. Ample ventilation must be afforded the
structure when aluminum or vinyl is to be installed in order to prevent increased deterioration of the structure from moisture
and/or insects. 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.
Prohibited
Wood siding shall not be resurfaced with material such as artificial stone, brick veneer, asbestos or asphalt shingles, which is
inappropriate or was unavailable when the building was constructed. Sandblasting or the use of harsh detergents shall not be used
on masonry or stucco. This method of cleaning erodes the surface material and accelerates deterioration.
Not Recommended
Waterproof or water repellent coatings or surface consolidation treatments should not be used on masonry surfaces unless
required to solve a specific problem that has been studied and identified. Coatings are frequently unnecessary and expensive, and
can accelerate deterioration of the masonry. Mortar joints which do not need repointing should not be. Repointing should not be
done with mortar of high Portland cement content, which can often create a bond that is stronger than the building materials. This
can cause deterioration as a result of the differing porosity of the material and the mortar — the end result being serious damage to
adjacent brick. Paint should not be removed from masonry surfaces indiscriminately.
D. ENTRANCES PORCHES AND STEPS
Most houses in the district have either an open or a closed porch across the front. Most porches have either gabled, hipped, shed
or flat roofs. Many frame porch floors and steps have been replaced with concrete.
REQUIRED
Existing or original porches and steps, including handrails, balusters, columns, brackets, tiles and roof decorations, shall be
retained, or replaced with replicas of the same design and materials when deteriorated beyond repair. Porches and additions
reflecting later architectural styles, and which are important to the building's historical integrity, shall be retained.
Recommended
When enclosing porches for heat conservation or for other reasons, it should be done in a manner that does not alter the
architectural or historical character of the building.
Prohibited
Front porches and steps that are important to the building's style and character shall not be altered or removed.
Not Recommended
Original porch details should not be replaced with materials representing a different period or style from the original.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Eaves trough approved as in-kind Routine Maintenance Exclusion. Staff recommends the
proposed brick driveway, sidewalk and patio, as work is appropriate to existing surrounding site elements in scale, type and
appearance. Staff recommends the removal of the porch non -original vinyl knee wall and the installation of wrought iron as it
conforms to the Standards and Guidelines. Staff recommends approval for both the metal fence around the new patio area and
the wood privacy fence around the rear yard as they conform to the Standards and Guidelines. Staff recommends approval of the
second storey balcony as it will improve security for the user and will improve the aesthetics as well.
Executive Director Catherine Hostetler is an owner of the property. HPC Policy for property
owned by staff members is: work undertaken on a property owned by a staff person, a consultant
to the Commission or a Commissioner that falls under the routine maintenance categorical
exclusion of the Ordinance should be reported, in advance, to the Commission president for
approval that a COA is not required. President conducted a review of Routine Maintenance
Exclusion items on April 20. Deputy Director compiled Staff Recommendation for both the RME
and the COA report.

DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: This 1 '/z storey rectangular plan house sits upon a brick foundation. The walls are
wood shingle with decorative shingle variation in the gable. An open stoop porch with square posts and a pediment protrudes
from the southeast corner of the house. There is a variety of windows including 6 / 1 and multi -lite picture windows. Shed roof
dormers extend nearly the length of the roof on both sides of the gable. All roofing material appears to be 3 -tab asphalt shingle,
however, a tarp is attached to the dormer roofs.
ALTERATIONS: The dormers appear to be constructed in 1946. The wood shingles that face the dormers are also installed
over the first storey walls. A metal rail is installed on the porch. Decorative shutters have been installed on the first storey
windows and some of the windows have aluminum storm windows installed.
APPLICATION ITEMS: Replace roofing material as the pitch is not sufficient for asphalt shingles (<3:12). Rubber membrane
where the pitch is less than 3:12. Shingles elsewhere.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The formerly vacant house has had a tarp on the dormers for over one year,
covering the failing asphalt shingles. The new owner proposes to install EPDM membrane over only the roofs of the dormers
because the low pitch does not properly drain, causing asphalt roofing material to allow water to leak into the house. Taking into
consideration the location of the house surrounded by the rear yards of three three-storey houses and surrounded by trees, the roof
will not be visible from the street. There are no plans for gutters, drip edge or flashing at this time. The other parts of the roof
that currently have 3 -tab shingles are to remain as is as they are still in service.

Property Owner: Ramiro Acuna
Landmark or District Designation: Chapin Park LHD/NR
Rating: Contributing
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: 739 Leland is a two storey American
foursquare set upon a brick foundation. The exterior walls of the house are wood
clapboard with comer boards and a band course between the stories. The hip roof has a
front dormer, wide eaves and cornice board and covered with asphalt shingles. There is a
full brick front porch with solid brick railing supporting 3 brick piers.
ALTERATIONS: Most of the 4/1 original windows have been removed. The two sets
of double windows on the front second floor have been removed, their openings boarded
in and smaller 2/2 vinyl windows installed. The first floor westerly side window has
been removed and its opening boarded in and a smaller sliding vinyl window has been
installed. The original wood door has been replaced with a steel security door and
aluminum storm door. The front roof dormer has vinyl siding applied on its sides. The
house is now connected to the garage with a vinyl covered passageway with a steel
security door. The brick chimney above the roof line has been removed and an aluminum
stack has been inserted. The garage has been sided with vinyl.
APPLICATION ITEMS: Replace windows and chimney.
DISCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The work on this house was red -tagged
by the building department because it was performed without the proper permits or
approved Certificates of Appropriateness. The homeowners are applying for approval of
the work that has already altered this house: The removal of the original double sets of
second storey.windows and the alteration of the openings to accommodate smaller double
hung 2/2 vinyl windows and the removal of the first floor side window, the reduction of
its opening to accommodate the installation of a sliding vinyl window system. The
owners also want approval of the installation of the aluminum stack in replacement of the
brick chimney above the roofline.
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES:
CHAPIN PARK STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES
C. WwDows AND DooRs
Window and door frames are in most cases wood and vary depending upon the style of the home.
Many are double hung windows with wood trim and sills. Brick structures have stone sills and
brick lintels. In some cases where aluminum siding has been applied, the window and door trim
has been covered. About half of the structures in the district have aluminum storm windows; the
other half have wood storm windows.
❑1
Required
Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative
glass, pediments, hoods and hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced
with units and trim resembling the original.
Recommended
Wood storm windows and doors painted or finished to match the original should be used but
should not damage existing frames. If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original
materials, design and hardware should be used. When metal storm doors are used, they should be
painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used, they should be of
canvas material.
Prohibited
Original doors, windows and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and
reused in place. New window and door openings, which would alter the scale and proportion
of the building may not be introduced. Inappropriate new window and door features such as
metal, vinyl or fiberglass awnings, hoods or aluminum insulating glass combinations
that require removal of original windows and doors, shall not be installed.
Not Recommended
Fake shutters that would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building should
not be used.
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.
Pa
Prohibited Wood siding shall not be resurfaced with new material that is inappropriate or was
unavailable when the building was constructed, such as artificial stone, brick veneer, asbestos or
asphalt shingles. Sandblasting or the use of harsh detergents shall not be used on masonry
including brick, stucco, limestone, flagstone and sandstone. This method of cleaning erodes the
surface material and accelerates deterioration.
Repointing shall not be done with a mortar of high Portland cement content which can often
create a bond that is stronger than the building material. Usage of Portland cement can cause
deterioration as a result of the differing coefficient of expansion and porosity of the historic
masonry unit and the mortar. This most often results in serious damage to adjacent brick
Unpainted masonry surfaces shall not be painted unless they had been painted originally. Paint
shall not be removed from masonry surfaces by any means that damage the surface.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the denial of this application as it does not
conform to the Standards and Guidelines for the Chapin Park Local Historic District.

STAFF REPORT
CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
Date: 9 May 2012
Application Number: 2012-0507
Property Location: 717 Forest Avenue
Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Gabled-ell/1900
Property Owner: Elizabeth McClintock
Landmark or District Designation: Chapin Park
Rating: Contributing
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: The house is a one and a half storey gabled -ell with an irregular
foundation. The exterior walls are 6" clapboard with cornice and comer trim. The gabled roof also has two side
gables trough the cornice with asphalt shingles. There is a wrap around front porch with full height square wood
supports, balusters, decking and steps. The windows are 1/1 double hung with one large single pane window on the
first floor.
ALTERATIONS: The asphalt shingles replaced the wood shingles on the roof. There was a 4x12 addition toa
first floor room on the west side in 1957. The shutters noted on the 2005 survey card have been removed. The
large picture window is not original to the house. The synthetic storms are replacements as is the front storm door.
APPLICATION ITEMS: A prior owner altered this house by removing its trim and making windows smaller. I
want to restore it to its original appearance. Please refer to images numbered 1-5b.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The homeowner proposes to restore the missing decorative
shingles in the front gable to match those on the side gable; also to install a wooden gable ornament on the front
gable. She would also like to add 10" wooden brackets on the front overhang and to the porch. Remove the picture
window and replacement side window and restore the windows to their original dimension and probable appearance
using the wood windows of the Pella Architect series. Replace the current square columns on the porch with turned
wood columns and add running trim between the turned columns.
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES:
II. EXISTING STRUCTURES
A. BUILDING MATERIALS
Original exterior building materials in the district include brick, stucco, clapboard, wood shingles, and
brick or stone masonry. In some instances, vinyl, composite and aluminum siding have been applied
over the original material.
Required
Original exterior building materials shall be retained when possible. Deterioration of wood materials
shall be prevented through repair, cleaning and painting. The existing architectural detail around
windows, porches, doors and eaves shall be retained or replaced by replicas of the same design when
deteriorated beyond repair.
Masonry, including brick and stucco structures, shall be maintained, and properly cleaned only when
necessary to halt deterioration or to remove stains and shall be done in a method acceptable for.the
preservation of the surface: i.e. low-pressure water and soft natural bristle brushes. Brick or masonry
mortar joints should be repointed only when there is evidence of moisture problems, or when sufficient
mortar is missing to allow water to stand in the mortar joint. Existing mortar shall be duplicated in
composition, color, texture, joint size, method of application and joint profile. When repairing stucco,
stucco mixture shall be used. A professional shall make a study of the old stucco, to determine the exact
mixture and underlayment used in the original work. Some repair methods are not compatible with the .
original techniques and may cause early disintegration of the repair work and the original work. Ample
ventilation must be afforded the structure when siding is installed, in order to prevent increased
deterioration of the structure from moisture and insects.
Recommended
Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored. When maintaining or repairing
original siding is not feasible, aluminum, vinyl or composite siding may be used. When used over wood -
surfaces, this siding should be the same size and style as the original wood. Every effort should be made
to retain the original trim around windows, doors, cornices, gables, eaves and other architectural
features.
Property owners should contact the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph
County prior to initiating any restoration or rehabilitation effort. [Address and contact information
is listed in the front of the Guidebook.] The Commission is an invaluable source of information about
all facets of rehabilitation and restoration — materials, methods, contractors and the like.
Prohibited
Wood siding shall not be resurfaced with new material that is inappropriate or was unavailable when
the building was constructed, such as artificial stone, brick veneer, asbestos or asphalt shingles.
Sandblasting or the use of harsh detergents shall not be used on masonry including brick, stucco,
limestone, flagstone and sandstone. This method of cleaning erodes the surface material and ccelerates
deterioration.
Repointing shall not be done with a mortar of high Portland cement content which can often create a
bond that is stronger than the building material. Usage of Portland cement can cause deterioration as a
result of the differing coefficient of expansion and porosity of the historic masonry unit and the mortar.
This most often results in serious damage to adjacent brick.
Unpainted masonry surfaces shall not be painted unless they had been painted originally. Paint shall not
be removed from masonry surfaces by any means that damage the surface.
Not Recommended
Waterproof or water repellent coatings or surface consolidation treatments should not be used on
masonry surfaces unless required to solve a specific problem that has been studied and identified.
Coatings are frequently unnecessary and expensive, and can accelerate deterioration of the masonry.
Mortar joints, which do not need repointing, should not be repointed. Wood siding should not be power -
washed.
B. ROOFS
Window and door frames are in most cases wood and vary depending upon the style of the home. Many
are doublehung windows with wood trim and sills. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels.
In some cases where aluminum siding has been applied, the window and door trim has been covered.
About half of the structures in the district have aluminum storm windows; the other half have wood storm
windows.
Required
Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass,
pediments, hoods and hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced with units and
trim resembling the original.
Recommended
Wood storm windows and doors painted or finished to match the original should be used but should not
damage existing frames. If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design
and hardware should be used. When metal storm doors are used, they should be painted, anodized or
coated to match the existing. When awnings are used, they should be of canvas material.
Prohibited
Original doors, windows and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and reused in
place. New window and door openings, which would alter the scale and proportion of the building may
not be introduced. Inappropriate new window and door features such as metal, vinyl or fiberglass
awnings, hoods or aluminum insulating glass combinations that require removal of original windows
and doors, shall not be installed.
Not Recommended
Fake shutters that would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building should not be
used.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the project as it follows the guidelines for the
Chapin Park District. These additions will bring this house closer to its original appearance. The survey card noted
that the house was a gabled -ell/ gothic (alt.)

—APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS ARE LISTED ON REVERSE SIDE—
Written description of project at 717 Forest Avenue:
The changes described below are illustrated on the included before/after sketch. 1 am also including
supporting images for each specific proposed modification.
1. Scalloped Shingles:
On its side (north -facing) gable, the house has scalloped (fish scale) shingles. But the front gable (the
east -facing gable, facing the street) does not have scalloped shingles. Neighbors tell me that the house
originally had scalloped shingles on the front gable. I would like to add scalloped shingles to the front
gable. This is a historically -appropriate change because I would be using shingles that match the existing
shingles on the side gable. It would also blend nicely into the neighborhood because many of the
nearby houses (including one immediately -adjacent) have scalloped shingles in their front gables.
Please see Image #1 for a picture of the shingles on the side gable.
2. Gable ornament:
I would also like to add a wooden gable ornament. I do not know if this house originally had a gable
ornament but many of the houses in the neighborhood have them. I have selected a period -appropriate
design. Please see Image #2 for a picture of the proposed gable ornament.
3. Brackets:
I would like to add a decorative wooden bracket (matching the gable ornament) to the overhang on the
north-east corner of the house. Several nearby houses have brackets in equivalent overhangs.) would
like to add the same bracket to the porch. Please see Image # 3.
4. Windows:
The windows in the lower -level front room (east -facing) were originally much taller. I can tell this from
the patched siding outside and patched wall inside. I would like to restore the windows to their original
dimension and probable appearance. This change would return the house to its original design and
would make it look more consistent with neighboring houses (including one immediately -adjacent). I
plan to use windows from the Pella Architect series. These have a wood exterior and general
appearance that is consistent with the period of the house. Please see Image #4a (center window) and
Image #4b (side windows).

The proposed modification is to restore the windows to their original size. As is evident from the
patching, the original windows extended nearly to the floor. A prior owner modified them by making
them shorter (so that they end well above the floor). I would be returning them to their original
dimensions.

Rating: Significant
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: This two storey brick Renaissance Revival home has the
original tile roof and features brick quoins, Corinthian columns between the front arched windows, leaded
glass windows flank the decorative doorway molding.
ALTERATIONS: The side porch was enclosed and the garage added around 1951. There are aluminum
storm windows and storm door on front of house and five replacement fixed single pane windows. In
2008 per COA#2008-0904, 9 double hung windows, 5 vinyl picture windows and 1 hinged wood window
were replaced with Marvin Insert wood windows; 3 double hung front second storey windows were
replaced with Marvin wood sash-pacs and the front storm door was replaced with a Larson full view

driveway..
APPLICATION ITEMS: Remove failed stucco and rusted base anchorage assemblies (due to falling
debris and stucco pieces). Replace with light weight EIFS to match appearance.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Slatile Restorations proposes to remove the
deteriorating stucco on the entire surface of the soffit and replace it with E.I.F.S. (Externally Insulated
Finish System). There will be a base sheet secured to the rafter tails with screws over which a
reinforcement mesh is applied. There will be successive coats of trowel applied stucco finish.
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES:
H. EXISTING STRUCTURES
A. BUILDING MATERIALS _
Original exterior wall materials in the District include limestone, flagstone, stucco, clapboard, wood shingles,
sandstone and masonry block. In some instances, vinyl or aluminum siding have been applied over the original
surface.
Required
Original exterior building materials shall be retained. Deterioration of wood materials shall be prevented through
repair, cleaning and painting. The existing or original architectural detail around windows, porches, doors and eaves
should be retained or replaced by replicas of the same design and materials when deteriorated beyond repair.
Masonry including brick, limestone, flagstone, sandstone and stucco shall be cleaned only when necessary to halt
deterioration or to remove stains, and shall be done with a method acceptable for the preservation of the surface: i.e.
low pressure water and soft natural bristle brushes. When repairing stucco, stucco mixture compatible in
composition, color and texture shall be used:
Recommended.
Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored. Metal or vinyl siding may be used when it is
the only alternative to maintaining or replacing the original surface material. 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. Ample ventilation must be
afforded the structure when metal or vinyl siding has been installed in order to prevent increased deterioration of
the structure from moisture and/or insects. 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. It is
emphasized that, prior to initiating any restoration or rehabilitation effort, the property owner should contact the
Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County which is located in the County/City
Building of South Bend. The Commission is an invaluable source of information about all facets of rehabilitation
and restoration.
Prohibited
Wood siding shall not be resurfaced with new material which 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

often create a bond that is stronger than the building material. This can cause deterioration as a result of the
differing coefficient of expansion and the differing porosity of the material and the mortar, which can result in
serious damage to adjacent brick. Paint shall not be removed from masonry surfaces indiscriminately.
Not Recommended
Waterproof or water repellent coatings or surface consolidation treatments should not be used on masonry surfaces
unless required to solve a specific problem that has been studied and identified. Coatings are frequently necessary
and expensive, and can accelerate deterioration of the masonry. Mortar joints which do not need repointing should
not be repointed.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the removal of thedeterioratingstucco and
its rusting support system and its replacement with the Dryvit E.I. F.S. product.

STAFF REPORT
CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
Date: . May 7, 2012
Application Number: 2012-0507F—
Property Location: 1097 Riverside Drive
Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Foursquare/1906
Property Owner: Brian Exner
Landmark or District Designation: Riverside Drive LHD
Rating: Non -Contributing
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: This two storey frame house is set upon a concrete
foundation and has a high hip roof. Siding is 3" clapboard on the second storey and 4" clapboards on the
first. A gabled dormer is centered in the front over a set of 1/1 double hung windows. The full front
porch has been restored and features columns, brick piers, and an off center gable feature with a sunburst
detail leading up the stairs toward the front door. Front door is wood with a decorative light.
ALTERATIONS: The aluminum replacement siding noted in the 2005 survey has been removed and the
original wood siding repaired or replicated. The enclosed porch in the 2005 survey has been removed and
the original front porch footprint and details were reproduced.
APPLICATION ITEMS: Altering overhead door opening on existing garage. The garage will be
straightened. Internal bracing will be screwed and glued to the studs on the inside walls in order to
maintain the walls in a square and plumb condition. However, this will not be possible on the end of the
garage with the overhead door. In order to adequately support this end of the garage, the wall to the left
side of the overhead door will be extended approximately 2 feet, decreasing the width of the door opening
from 12 feet to 10 feet. The new wall will be framed with 2 x 4 studs. Then, 5 / 8" plywood will be
screwed and glued to the studs to provide structural rigidity, and new wooden Cove "Dutch Lap" siding
will be installed over the sheathing. The siding to the right of the overhead door will also be removed and
sheathing will be applied beneath. Usable siding will then be reinstalled and unusable siding will be
replaced as necessary.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Because the siding is nailed directly to the studs with no
sheathing or internal bracing, the garage has developed a lean. This lean is most pronounced at the end
with the overhead vehicle door. The lean was exacerbated by a previous owner who replaced the original
door with a wider one. In doing so, it was necessary to remove a portion of the end wall of the garage.
Based on the witness marks on the slab, the owner believes the original door was 8' wide. The garage
leans approximately 4.5" over the height of the wall.
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: II. EXISTING STRUCTURES
A. BUILDING MATERIALS .
Original exterior wall materials in the district include limestone, flagstone, stucco, clapboard, wood shingles,
sandstone and masonry block. In some instances, vinyl or aluminum siding has been applied over the original
surface.
Required
Original exterior building materials shall be retained. Deterioration of wood materials shall be prevented
through repair, cleaning and painting. The existing or original architectural detail around windows, porches, doors
and eaves should be retained or replaced by replicas of the same design and materials when deteriorated beyond
repair. Masonry including brick, limestone, flagstone, sandstone and stucco shall be cleaned only when necessary to
halt deterioration or to remove stains, and shall be done with a method acceptable for the preservation of the
surface: i.e. low pressure water and soft natural bristle brushes. When repairing stucco, stucco mixture compatible
in composition, color and texture shall be used.
Recommended
Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored. Metal or vinyl siding may be used when it is
the only alternative to maintaining or replacing the original surface material. 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. Ample ventilation must be
afforded the structure when metal or vinyl siding has been installed in order to prevent increased deterioration of
the structure from moisture and/or insects. 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. It is
emphasized that, prior to initiating any restoration or rehabilitation effort, the property owner should contact the
Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County which is located in the County/City
Building of South Bend. The Commission is an invaluable source of information about all facets of rehabilitation
and restoration.
Prohibited
Wood siding shall not be resurfaced with new material which 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. Brick surfaces shall not be painted
unless they had been painted originally. Repointing shall not be done with a mortar of high Portland cement content
which can often create a bond that is stronger than the building material. This can cause deterioration as a result of
the differing coefficient of expansion and the differing porosity of the material and the mortar which can result in
serious damage to adjacent brick. Paint shall not be removed from masonry surfaces indiscriminately.
Not Recommended
Waterproof or water repellent coatings or surface consolidation treatments should not be used on masonry surfaces
unless required to solve a specific problem that has been studied and identified. Coatings are frequently
unnecessary and expensive, and can accelerate deterioration of the masonry. Mortar joints which do not need
repointing should not be repointed.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the application as presented as it will
stabilize and ensure the longevity of the existing structure. In-kind materials will be used and the
enclosure will not impair the function of the door nor will it narrow the opening any smaller than that of
the original opening.

Application for Certificate of Appropriateness
Garage Repair
1097 Riverside Drive, South Bend, IN 46616
Background
The structure is a wood frame garage. I believe the building was erected in the mid
to late 1940's. The building was purchased as a kit (possibly from Sears Roebuck,
and Co, but I'm not sure), delivered in panels via truck, and bolted together on-site.
Each panel consists of a frame made of 2x4 lumber and covered with Cove "Dutch
Lap" siding.
Because the siding is nailed directly to the studs with no sheathing or internal
bracing, the garage has developed a lean. This lean is most pronounced at the end
with the overhead vehicle door. The lean was exacerbated by a previous owner,
who replaced the original garage door with a wider one. In doing so, it was
necessary to remove a portion of the end wall of the garage.
2012-05-07 CoA Application
Garage at 1097 Riverside Drive
The photo on the left was
taken from the back yard of
the property, looking toward
the alley. It shows the side
wall of the garage at the end
with the overhead door. The
lean is clearly visible when
compared to the vertical
fence boards. It leans
approximately 4.5" over the
height of the wall.
Page 1 of 5
The photo below shows the concrete slab in the area of the overhead vehicle door.
The original wall on this end of the garage most probably extended an additional
three feet toward the right of the picture. The crack in the driveway probably shows
the original width of the driveway, with the portion to the left being added at a later
date. Although not visible in the photo, there is evidence of fasteners that were used
to bolt the sill plate of the wall to the slab. Based on witness marks on the slab, I
believe the original vehicle door was 8 feet wide. The current door is 12 feet wide.
2012-05-07 CoA Application
Garage at 1097 Riverside Drive Page 2 of 5
The picture below shows the garage as seen from the alley. As seen in this photo,
the overhead door takes up virtually the entire end of the garage.
Proposed Work
The garage will be straightened. Internal bracing will be screwed and glued to the
studs on the inside walls in order to maintain the walls in a square and plumb
condition. However, this will not be possible on the end of the garage with the
overhead door. In order to adequately support this end of the garage, the wall to the
left side of the overhead door will be extended approximately 2 feet, decreasing the
width of the door opening from 12 feet to 10 feet. (See before and after drawings on
the next page.)
The new wall will be framed with 2x4 studs. Then, 5/8" plywood will be screwed
and glued to the studs to provide structural rigidity, and new wooden Cove "Dutch
Lap" siding will be installed over the sheathing. The profile of the new wooden
siding is provided below.
The siding to the right of the overhead door will also be removed and sheathing will
be applied beneath. Usable siding will then be reinstalled and unusable siding will
be replaced as necessary.

PRESERVATION SPECIALIST REPORT
May 21, 2012
The last four weeks have been a barrage of activity. This last weekend we
successfully hosted a Restore Michiana workshop on exterior siding repair and -painting.
We had a great event through the Southhold awards. I was also very pleased to be a part
of the selection committee for the State Theatre project along with Elicia Feasel. Our
participation in these events that involved media coverage has had some positive
feedback with some of the public that did not who we are and what we do. I was a guest
on Experience Michiana with Gordy Young on WHIT to promote the siding workshop
and have been invited back in the next following months to discuss additional home
repair/preservation topics.

STAFF REPORT
CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
Date: 7 May 2012
Application Number: 2012-0503A
Property Location: 739 Leland Avenue
Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: American Foursquare/1923
Property Owner: Ramiro Acuna
Landmark or District Designation: Chapin Park LHD/NR
Rating: Contributing
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: 739 Leland is a two storey American foursquare set upon a brick foundation. The
exterior walls of the house are wood clapboard with corner boards and a band course between the stories. The hip roof has a
front dormer, wide eaves and cornice board and covered with asphalt shingles. There is a full brick front porch with solid brick
railing supporting 3 brick piers.
ALTERATIONS: Most of the 4/1 original windows have been removed. The two sets of double windows on the front second
floor have been removed, their openings boarded in and smaller 2/2 vinyl windows installed. The first floor westerly side
window has been removed and its opening boarded in and a smaller sliding vinyl window has been installed. The original wood
door has been replaced with a steel security door and aluminum storm door. The front roof dormer has vinyl siding applied on its
sides. The house is now connected to the garage with a vinyl covered passageway with a steel security door. The brick chimney
above the roof line has been removed and an aluminum stack has been inserted. The garage has been sided with vinyl.
APPLICATION ITEMS: Replace windows and chimney.
DISCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The work on this house was red -tagged by the building department because it
was performed without the proper permits or approved Certificates of Appropriateness. The homeowners are applying for
approval of the work that has already altered this house: The removal of the original double sets of second storey windows and
the alteration of the openings to accommodate smaller double hung 2/2 vinyl windows and the removal of the first floor side
window, the reduction of its opening to accommodate the installation of a sliding vinyl window system. The owners also want
approval of the installation of the aluminum stack in replacement of the brick chimney above the roofline.
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES:
CHAPIN PARK STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES
C. WINDOWS AND DOORS
Window and door frames are in most cases wood and vary depending upon the style of the home. Many are double hung
windows with wood trim and sills. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels. In some cases where aluminum siding has
been applied, the window and door trim has been covered. About half of the structures in the district have aluminum storm
windows; the other half have wood storm windows.
Required
Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods and
hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced with units and trim resembling the original.
Recommended
Wood storm windows and doors painted or finished to match the original should be used but
should not damage existing frames. If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original
materials, design and hardware should be used. When metal storm doors are used, they should be
painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used, they should be of canvas material.
Prohibited
Original doors, windows and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and reused in place. New window and
door openings, which would alter the scale and proportion
of the building may not be introduced. Inappropriate new window and door features such as metal, vinyl or fiberglass awnings,
hoods or aluminum insulating glass combinations
that require removal of original windows and doors, shall not be installed.
Not Recommended
Fake shutters that would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building should not be used.
A. BUILDING MATERIALS
Original exterior building materials in the district include brick, stucco, clapboard, wood shingles,
and brick or stone masonry. In some instances, vinyl, composite and aluminum siding have been
applied over the original material.
Required
Original exterior building materials shall be retained when possible. Deterioration of wood materials shall be prevented through
repair, cleaning and painting. The existing architectural detail around windows, porches, doors and eaves shall be retained or
replaced by replicas of the same design when deteriorated beyond repair. Masonry, including brick and stucco structures, shall be
maintained, and properly cleaned only when necessary to halt deterioration or to remove stains and shall be done in a method
acceptable for the preservation of the surface: i.e. low-pressure water and soft natural bristle brushes. Brick or masonry mortar
joints should be repointed only when there is evidence of moisture problems, or when sufficient mortar is missing to allow water
to stand in the mortar joint. Existing mortar shall be duplicated in composition, color, texture, joint size, method of application
and joint profile. When repairing stucco, stucco mixture shall be used. A professional shall make a study of the old stucco, to
determine the exact mixture and underlayment used in the original work. Some repair methods are not compatible with the
original techniques and may cause early disintegration of the repair work and the original work. Ample ventilation must be
afforded the structure when siding is installed, in order to prevent increased deterioration of the structure from moisture and
insects.
Recommended
Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored. When maintaining or
repairing original siding is not feasible, aluminum, vinyl or composite siding may be used. When
used over wood surfaces, this siding should be the same size and style as the original wood. Every effort should be made to retain
the original trim around windows, doors, cornices, gables, eaves and other architectural features.
Property owners should contact the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County prior to initiating
any restoration or rehabilitation effort. [Address and contact information is listed in the front of the Guidebook.] The Commission
is an invaluable source of information about all facets of rehabilitation and restoration — materials, methods, contractors and the
like.
Prohibited Wood siding shall not be resurfaced with new material that is inappropriate or was unavailable when the building was
constructed, such as artificial stone, brick veneer, asbestos or asphalt shingles. Sandblasting or the use of harsh detergents shall
not be used on masonry including brick, stucco, limestone, flagstone and sandstone. This method of cleaning erodes the surface
material and accelerates deterioration.
Repointing shall not be done with a mortar of high Portland cement content which can often create a bond that is stronger than
the building material. Usage of Portland cement can cause deterioration as a result of the differing coefficient of expansion and
porosity of the historic masonry unit and the mortar. This most often results in serious damage to adjacent brick.
Unpainted masonry surfaces shall not be painted unless they had been painted originally. Paint
shall not be removed from masonry surfaces by any means that damage the surface.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the denial of this application as it does not conform to the Standards and
Guidelines for the Chapin Park Local Historic District.
On a motion by Lynn Patrick with a second by Jerry Niezgodski to deny application as submitted.
Mike Voll: Outside compliance of Standards and Guidelines of the neighborhood
Timothy Klusczinski: Does not comply with the Standards and Guidelines of the District

Kevin Buccellato: Does not comply with the Guidelines
Lynn Patrick: Does not conform to the Standards and Guidelines for the Chapin Park Local

Property Owner: Eugene Cieplinski
Landmark or District Designation: Edgewater
Rating: Non Contributing
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: This 2 storey American Foursquare is set upon a concrete foundation. The roof is a
hip roof with hip roof dormer covered in asphalt shingles. The exterior walls have aluminum siding. The windows are double
hung with the upper sash divided over a plain lower sash. There is an open porch across the west third of the front fagade and a

APPLICATION ITEMS: Demolish present garage and build a new one on the same site with the same dimensions.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Alpine Construction proposes to demolish the deteriorating wood garage that
was damaged when it was struck by a garbage truck. They will pour a new concrete foundation and construct a new gabled
garage to replicate what is currently on site. The garage will have standard frame construction, OSB sheeting and will have vinyl
siding to match the house. The deteriorating fiberglass door will be replaced with a raised panel garage door. A side entrance
door will be replaced with a steel service door. There will not be an alley side window. The roof will match the roofing of the
house as will the soffits and fascia. All per proposal attached.
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES:
III. NEW CONSTRUCTION
A. HEIGHT AND PROPORTION
The majority of structures in the district are two stories in high and are square or rectangular in plan. There are a few single story
bungalows. The most prevalent facade proportions are between a 1:1 and 1:2 height to width ratio.
Required
The height of a new structure and its height to width proportions shall be consistent with adjacent buildings in the district. The
building height shall be no greater that that of the tallest existing structure and no less than that of the lowest existing structure 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 IN NEW CONSTRUCTION
Wall materials in the district range from brick, clapboard, shingles and masonry to aluminum siding.
Required
Exterior materials used on a new structure shall be compatible in type, 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 in size and style
and with the materials of other buildings in the district.
Prohibited
Inappropriate materials such as asbestos, asphalt, cast stone, or artificial brick may 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 Edgewater Place.
Owner clarifies that the house has aluminum siding, not vinyl.

Original exterior building materials shall be retained when possible. Deterioration of wood materials shall be prevented through
repair, cleaning and painting. The existing architectural detail around windows, porches, doors and eaves shall be retained or
replaced by replicas of the same design when deteriorated beyond repair. Masonry, including brick and stucco structures, shall be
maintained, and properly cleaned only when necessary to halt deterioration or to remove stains and shall be done in a method
acceptable for the preservation of the surface: i.e. low-pressure water and soft natural bristle brushes. Brick or masonry mortar
joints should be repointed only when there is evidence of moisture problems, or when sufficient mortar is missing to allow water
to stand in the mortar joint. Existing mortar shall be duplicated in composition, color, texture, joint size, method of application
and joint profile. When repairing stucco, stucco mixture shall be used. A professional shall make a study of the old stucco, to
determine the exact mixture and underlayment used in the original work. Some repair methods are not compatible with the
original techniques and may cause early disintegration of the repair work and the original work. Ample ventilation must be
afforded the structure when siding is installed, in order to prevent increased deterioration of the structure from moisture and
insects.
Recommended
Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored. When maintaining or repairing original siding is not
feasible, aluminum, vinyl or composite siding may be used. When used over wood surfaces, this siding should be the same size
and style as the original wood. Every effort should be made to retain the original trim around windows, doors, cornices, gables,
eaves and other architectural features. Property owners should contact the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and
St. Joseph County prior to initiating any restoration or rehabilitation effort. [Address and contact information is listed in the front
of the Guidebook.] The Commission is an invaluable source of information about all facets of rehabilitation and restoration —
materials, methods, contractors and the like.
Prohibited
Wood siding shall not be resurfaced with new material that is inappropriate or was unavailable when the building was
constructed, such as artificial stone, brick veneer, asbestos or asphalt shingles. Sandblasting or the use of harsh detergents shall
not be used on masonry including brick, stucco, limestone, flagstone and sandstone. This method of cleaning erodes the surface
material and accelerates deterioration. Repointing shall not be done with a mortar of high Portland cement content which can
often create a bond that is stronger than the building material. Usage of Portland cement can cause deterioration as a result of the
differing coefficient of expansion and porosity of the historic masonry unit and the mortar. This most often results in serious
damage to adjacent brick. Unpainted masonry surfaces shall not be painted unless they had been painted originally. Paint shall
not be removed from masonry surfaces by any means that damage the surface.
Not Recommended
Waterproof or water repellent coatings or surface consolidation treatments should not be used on masonry surfaces unless
required to solve a specific problem that has been studied and identified. Coatings are frequently unnecessary and expensive, and
can accelerate deterioration of the masonry. Mortar joints, which do not need repointing, should not be repointed. Wood siding
should not be power -washed.
B. ROOFS
Window and door frames are in most cases wood and vary depending upon the style of the home. Many are double hung
windows with wood trim and sills. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels. In some cases where aluminum siding has
been applied, the window and door trim has been covered. About half of the structures in the district have aluminum storm
windows; the other half have wood storm windows.
Required
Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods and
hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced with units and trim resembling the original.
Recommended
Wood storm windows and doors painted or finished to match the original should be used but should not damage existing frames.
If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design and hardware should be used. When metal storm
doors are used, they should be painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used, they should be of
canvas material.
Prohibited
Original doors, windows and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and reused in place. New window and
door openings, which would alter the scale and proportion of the building, may not be introduced. Inappropriate new window and
door features such as metal, vinyl or fiberglass awnings, hoods or aluminum insulating glass combinations that require removal
of original windows and doors, shall not be installed.
Not Recommended
Fake shutters that would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building should not be used.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the project as it follows the guidelines for the Chapin Park
District. These additions will bring this house closer to its original appearance. The survey card noted that the house was a
gabled -ell/ gothic (alt.)

CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
Date: May 7, 2012
Application Number: 2012-0507E
Property Location: 1097 Riverside Drive
Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Foursquare/1906
Property Owner: Brian Exner
Landmark or District Designation: Riverside Drive LRD
Rating: Non -Contributing
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: This two storey frame house is set upon a concrete foundation and has a high hip
roof. Siding is 3" clapboard on the second storey and 4" clapboards on the first. A gabled dormer is centered in the front over a
set of 1/1 double hung windows. The full front porch has been restored and features columns, brick piers, and an off center gable
feature with a sunburst detail leading up the stairs toward the front door. Front door is wood with a decorative light.
ALTERATIONS: The aluminum replacement siding noted in the 2005 survey has been removed and the original wood siding
repaired or replicated. The enclosed porch in the 2005 survey has been removed and the original front porch footprint and details
were reproduced.
APPLICATION ITEMS: Altering overhead door opening on existing garage. The garage will be straightened. Internal
bracing will be screwed and glued to the studs on the inside walls in order to maintain the walls in a square and plumb condition.
However, this will not be possible on the end of the garage with the overhead door. In order to adequately support this end of the
garage, the wall to the left side of the overhead door will be extended approximately 2 feet, decreasing the width of the door
opening from 12 feet to 10 feet. The new wall will be framed with 2 x 4 studs. Then, 5 / 8" plywood will be screwed and glued
to the studs to provide structural rigidity, and new wooden Cove "Dutch Lap" siding will be installed over the sheathing. The
siding to the right of the overhead door will also be removed and sheathing will be applied beneath. Usable siding will then be
reinstalled and unusable siding will be replaced as necessary.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Because the siding is nailed directly to the studs with no sheathing or internal
bracing, the garage has developed a lean. This lean is most pronounced at the end with the overhead vehicle door. The lean was
exacerbated by a previous owner who replaced the original door with a wider one. In doing so, it was necessary to remove a
portion of the end wall of the garage. Based on the witness marks on the slab, the owner believes the original door was 8' wide.
The garage leans approximately 4.5" over the height of the wall.

STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: Groun B
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 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 the 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 carred 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. ROOFS AND ROOFING
Roof shapes in the district vary from hip and gable to gambrel. All are covered with asphalt shingles.
Eaves in most cases, have wood facias with gutters and downspouts. Some aluminum sided houses have aluminum covered
facias.
Required
The existing shape and materials of the roof shall be retained. All architectural features which give the roof its essential character,
such as dormer windows, cornices, brackets and weather vanes, shall be retained.
Recommended
Whenever possible, the original shape and materials of the roof shall 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 existing or original in
composition, size, shape, color, and texture.
Prohibited
Nothing shall be done to change the essential character of the roof by adding architectural features or roofing materials
inappropriate to the style of the house. The roof shall not be stripped of architectural
features important to its character.
Not Recommended
If aluminum or vinyl siding is added to a building, overhanging eaves and gables should not be covered or enclosed.
