STAFF REPORT
CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
Date: 05.20.2013
Application Number: 2013-0520
Property Location: 557 River
Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Craftsman Bungalow/1922
Property Owner: Anita Whittman
Landmark or District Designation: Edgewater Place
Rating: Outstanding
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: 1 V2 storey rectangular plan on concrete
foundation. Siding is 1/3 brick with projecting rocks, 1/3 clapboard and 1/3 wood
shingles. Roof is a steep side gable with gable dormer in front, covered in asphalt
shingles. Porch features an arch with stucco piers and a brick wall with projecting rocks.
Front door is a single leaf glazed wood panel door with multi light side lights. Windows
are 1/1 double hung with divided transom; there is a bay on southeast side and 2 wood
casement windows in the dormer.
ALTERATIONS: White aluminum storm windows.
APPLICATION ITEMS: 2 white slider windows vinyl.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Owner has retained Champion
Windows to replace two casement windows in the dormer with white vinyl slider
windows. The existing casement windows have no screens and nothing to prevent a
person from exiting onto the roof. When opened, the wind causes the sashes to swing.
The proposed Lite Slider windows will slide open and each will have a full screen. The
slider window will fit into the existing openings. A vinyl transition piece will be installed
between the new windows and the inside opening. According to Champion, the trim will
be wrapped in ivory color aluminum; however, homeowner reported that no trim will be
wrapped on the exterior.
EDGEWATER STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES:,
H. EXISTING STRUCTURES
C. WINDOWS AND DOORS
Window and door frames are in nearly all cases wood. Brick structures have stone sills
and brick lintels; masonry block structures have masonry sills and lintels. In some cases
where aluminum siding has been applied window trim has been covered. About half of
the structures in the district have aluminum storm windows, the other half wood storm
windows.
Required
Original windows and doors including sash, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass,
pediments, hoods, and hardware shall be retained or when deteriorated beyond repair,
replaced with duplicates of the existing or original.
Recommended
Wood frame storm windows and doors, painted to match the existing or original, should
be used but should not damage existing frames and should be removable in the future. If
new sash and doors are used, the existing or original materials, design, and hardware
should be used. When metal storm doors are used, they should be painted anodized or
coated to match the existing. When awnings are used they should be of canvas material.
Prohibited
Existing or original doors, windows, and hardware shall not be discarded when they can
be restored and re -used in place. New window and door openings which would alter the
scale and proportion of the building should not be introduced. Inappropriate new window
and door features such as aluminum insulating glass combinations that require the
removal of the original windows and doors shall not be installed.
Not Recommended
Metal, vinyl, or fiberglass awnings, hoods, and fake shutters that would detract from the
existing character or appearance of the building should not be used.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed project.

Property Location: 1623 East Wayne Street South
Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Colonial Revival /1927/H.R.Stapp
Property Owner: Brian Barnes
Landmark or District Designation: East Wayne Street
Rating: Contributing .
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: This is a 2 storey home constructed with load bearing
exterior walls of tile that are covered with stucco. It has a hipped roof covered with asphalt shingles.
The windows are 8/8 double hung with brick header course and sills, louvered shutters. The entry has a
flat roof canopy with moulded trim , iron grating with a brick stoop. There is a halfwall/buttress at the'
southwest corner. There is a set of French doors on the front facade with iron grating.
ALTERATIONS: There is a second storey rear addition noted on the 1987 Survey Card. All of the
double hung windows are vinyl replacement windows. The roof was replaced in 2008. The front door
may not be original to the house. The storm door is new. The fencing was added in 2002.
APPLICATION ITEMS: Replace the front door and French doors on the front of house. The new
products would be consistent in appearance with the historical appearance of the house. We will use a
fiberglass product due to the southern direction that the house faces and inadequate overhangs on the
house needed to protect wood doors. The worn out railing systems will be replaced with regal black
aluminum railings. French doors will have 10 lights, identical to the current doors. Front door will be
paneled with a 6 light window. The shutters on the house will be replaced with louvered vinyl shutters.
Photos were taken by Steve Szaday.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT : The homeowner proposes to replace the current front
door with a Smooth -Star fiberglass paneled front door with six lights. (See product brochure)
Preservation Specialist examined the door and found that the door has deteriorated and the framing has
shifted so the door does not close properly. Also the decorative features are deteriorating. (See Steve's
report and photographs) The French Doors are badly deteriorated and the homeowner wishes to replace.
those with fiberglass replicas. (See product brochure and photographs). The iron grating above the door
and at the French doors has also deteriorated. The homeowner proposes aluminum replacements that will
match the appearance of the ironwork as closely as possible. He also wished to replace the current
shutters with vinyl replicas.
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: East Wavne Street:,
C. Wmows AND DOORS
Window and door frames are of wood or steel (some casements) or in the case of brick structures, stone sills and
brick lintels. Where metal or vinyl siding has been applied, window trim has been covered. Storm windows are of
wood or aluminum.
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. 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 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 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 replacement of the front door (a
replica could not be located by Staff) and the French doors and the railings as those conform to the
guidelines for East Wayne Street. The shutters appear to be in good condition and do not appear to be
deteriorated beyond repair.

Catherine Hostetler - 1623 E Wayne
From:
Steve Szaday
To:
Hostetler, Catherine
Date:

Subject:
1623 E Wayne
CC:
Feasel, Elicia
I met with Brian Barnes at his house at 1623 E Wayne to determine what could be done in regards to the
replacement of his entry doors and his french doors at the front of his home. These doors both face to the south
and have had little or no coverage from the elements. The french doors are rotted from underneath and have
deteriorated at a rate differently and the doors no longer securely close nor fit properly. The front entry door
has accents via trim and medallions that have been glued onto the surface that are now chipped and coming
off. The description in the file mentioned raised panel door which is why I questioned the originality of the
current door. After printing the pictures I took at the site, you pointed out the casement surrounding the
doorway which entails leading lines that match those on the door itself. The door framing has shifted enough
that the locks barely make contact when closed.
The home owner expressed a desire to replace the french doors with visibly similar ones made out of modern
more durable material that would offer more security. In regards to the front door he would like to replace his
current door with a new door that had some windows to allow some natural light to enter the dark entryway. He
would also like to have something pre -hung so that the overall doorway is more secure.
I understand his concerns as neither doorway would take little more than a strong push to enter his house.I
hope that a door that fits the appearance of the house is available.

Property Owner: Marika and Tom Anderson
Landmark or District Designation: River Bend
Rating: Contributing
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: This is a 2 storey house with a rusticated concrete block
foundation. The walls have clapboard style vinyl siding. The hipped roof with gabled dormers on the
north and east sides is covered with asphalt shingles. The porch has a concrete foundation and steps with
iron railing and supports with a hipped roof. The windows are 1/1 double hung with aluminum storms
and an oval window on the front fagade and fixed single pane windows on the first storey north and south
side of the house. There is a one storey hipped roof enclosed rear porch.
ALTERATIONS: The porch railing and supports are replacements; the shutters, vinyl siding and
aluminum storms are not original to the house. There are vinyl replacement windows. The roof was
replaced in 2003
APPLICATION ITEMS: Addition to rear of house per paperwork submitted.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT. Remove the current enclosed back porch and construct a
one storey 12'X 18' addition along the rear of the house. The siding will match the vinyl siding of the
main body of the. house, the asphalt shingles will match those on the main house roof and the windows
and doors will match those on the main body of the house. The homeowner also wishes to replace the
current fencing, which is chain link and wood dog ear privacy, with 6' Lattice Top vinyl fencing along the
rear north'side of the property. All per specifications, diagrams, drawings and photographs submitted.
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES:
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 where they can be
viewed from the public 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. New work may be contemporary of may suggest motifs from the historic
buildings. New construction design should be clearly differentiated from the design of the historic buildings.
A. HEIGHT AND PROPORTION
The majority of structures in the district are two stories in height and are square or rectangular 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 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
ecommended-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.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the project as it conforms to the
guidelines for the back yards and new construction in River Bend.

shingles are 3 -tab, they will be replaced with architectural shingles in slate color. A
skylight in'the rear is leaking and will be replaced in-kind. They would like to enclose
the internal gutters that are not functioning and are causing the soffit to rot, proposing to
install 5" aluminum seamless gutters and downspouts around the entire house.
Additionally, they intend to reposition the rear block addition's flat roof that has sunk and
is causing rot, to have a 4/12 pitch. The Building Department mistakenly issued a permit
without the COA.
TAYLOR'S FIELD STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES:
B. ROOFS AND ROOFING
Roof shapes in the district encompass all the various designs found in residential structures:
hipped, gable, 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 or
aluminum -sided houses are covered with the same material.
Required
The existing shape and 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
Whenever possible, 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 of the building.
Prohibited
Nothing shall be done to change the essential character of the roof as viewed from the
thoroughfare 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, soffits, brackets and gables should not be covered or enclosed when adding
metal or vinyl siding to a building.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed project.

Historic Preservation Commission
MiCrOVentur Consulting: Taylor's Field Project & Recommendations
Ming Archbold
Luke Bene hsn
ILe Stewart
Assessment of the Vision/Mission
Our collective assessment is that the HPC has a very noble goal of promoting and
preserving the historic integrity of the city. While we think the mission is great, we feel
that this limits the HPC to an enforcement or regulatory role in the city. We feel like
there is a need to change the perception that the HPC hindering productive efforts in
the community, rather than promoting renewal and renovation, as they do.
The HPC has already done amazing work in the area of promoting the historic integrity
of the city through its local historic district (LHD) tours. They have also put tremendous
effort into the Restore Michiana Workshop Series, a lecture and workshop series for
homeowners, contractors and the general public. With this initiative, they have made
great strides in showing that their mission is also to provide people with the skills to
make a positive contribution to the city.
We want to push this even further and develop an enhanced HPC mission: to promote,
preserve, AND improve the historic integrity of South Bend. Assisting in the actual
restoration and preservation of abandoned and vacant homes needs to be a new
priority for the HPC. We propose the HPC should drive this enhanced mission forward
by directly addressing the most pressing issue the city faces today: the issue of
abandoned and vacant houses.
South Bend's Pressing Problem
The current economic situation of South Bend - resulting from a loss of jobs, population
decrease, and the national housing crisis - has led to a problem with vacant and
abandoned properties. With too many houses for the South Bend population to fill,
many houses are vacant (no one has lived in the house for over 90 days) or, even worse,
abandoned (the house is vacant and has a code violation(s) that has not been addressed
for more than 30 days). Vacant and abandoned properties lower neighborhood real
estate values, are prone to intruders, have potentially dangerous structures, and are an
ineffective use of land and resources. A recent Task Force organized by Mayor Pete
Buttigieg and Jim Kelly of the ND Law School assessed the situation and revised code
enforcement policy to accommodate the problem of vacant and abandoned properties.
Code Enforcement has called for the demolition of a number of abandoned houses,
primarily those that are severely dilapidated in reinvestment areas (areas with a weak
real estate market). However, abandoned houses in revitalization areas (areas with
stronger real estate market) can be made available and renovated through other
programs and projects.
The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC), with the mission to promote, preserve,
and improve the historic integrity of South Bend, has a strong interest in the renovation
and preservation of houses in historic districts. The HPC has already made great strides
in this direction with the skills and educational workshops in historic preservation. We
think a logical next step will be to leverage this knowledge and experience and apply it
directly to local restoration projects. Although the Vacant and Abandoned Properties
Task Force has a detailed plan in their attempt to solve the issue, incorporating historic
preservation organizations in the conversation would be extremely useful in the
rehabilitation of abandoned historic properties. In discussion with the HPC, we have
identified two potential projects that the HPC can participate in:
PROJECT 1: Tavlor's Field Proiect
Vision: With collaboration between the partnering groups below, the Taylor's Field
Project hopes to initially secure one house that is both abandoned and historic,
renovate it, and provide it to a family. The project would leverage the skills of each
collaborator, and would display to the public and to the Task Force that green/historic
renovation is not only possible, but more effective.
1. Todd Zeiger from Indiana Landmarks could provide funding for the
rehabilitation of a vintage property through its Endangered Places Loan.
2. Ivy Tech Community College can act as the nonprofit receiver of the
Endangered Places Loan. Kathy Kent from Ivy Tech will provide the Taylor's
Field project as the fieldwork component of their environmental design
program. Faculty and students of the environmental design program will
manage the funds and operations of the Taylor's Field Project, as well as
provide specialized input about green design.
3. The South Bend Catholic Worker community in Taylor's Field will keep
volunteer support strong for construction.
4. HPC will have a supervisory role over historic preservation aspects of
renovation, especially if the HPC will be working as instructors for the historic
preservation course of Ivy Tech's environmental design program
S. Jim Kelly, ND law professor and co-chair of the Vacant and Abandoned
Properties Task Force, can provide legal work for the project.
523 South St. Joseph Street is the property we recommend for the Taylor's Field Project
for the following reasons:
1. It is both historic and abandoned, and has a relatively well-maintained historic
interior
2. It is in a Revitalization Zone
3. It is located within the Catholic Worker community
4. There is a family already interested in the house
S23 South St. Joseph
Location of 523 St. Joseph's
Impact:
The project will have the following positive impacts:
1. Help out with the vacant and abandoned properties crisis in South Bend
2. Ensure that a historic property is being renovated according to standard
3. Act as a "green" model home for other house renovation/construction projects
4. Provide a house to a family in need
5. Display the value of historic preservation in the city's renovation plans
6. Drive up real estate values in surrounding area
Finances:
As stated above, the Endangered Places Loan that Indiana Landmarks can provide would
be a major source of funding for the Taylor's Field Project. They can loan up to $75,000,
although the amount they loan would largely depend on what they estimate the resale
value of the house would be.
That said, costs of rehabilitation are difficult to estimate, and a renovation project of
523 South St. Joseph Street may exceed $75,000. If this is the case, other sources of
funding include national/local government grants.
The Community Development Block Grant (CBDG) administered by the US Department
of Housing and Urban Development provides grants to housing projects that benefit
low-income communities. CBDG funds have also been used in the past for preservation
and restoration of historic properties in low-income neighborhoods.
Another option for funding is through financial receivership loans provided by the South
Bend government. Financial receivership occurs when the current owner of the
abandoned property is unable to make the necessary repairs to fix the property's code
violations, but another qualified individual or nonprofit is. By repairing the house, the
qualified individual or nonprofit has placed a lien on the house. If the owner is unable to
pay the lien, the nonprofit or qualified individual gains ownership of the house, and can
sell it through a foreclosure sale. This option, however, could be risky for the Taylor's
Field project because there is the possibility that the original owner regains ownership
of the house. In addition, local government may not want to provide a loan to perform
renovation in a historic/green manner.
Operations:
The organization that takes on the loan is usually expected to have the time and
resources to manage operations and effectively use the loan. In the case of the Taylor's
Field project, we recommend that Ivy Tech Community College take on the loan and
manage operations because they would likely have the most human resources, while
other collaborators are most likely occupied with other duties. Their involvement in the
Taylor's Field project through the Environmental Design Program ensures that they will
have a constant commitment, both during actual construction and in the planning
stages. Additionally, both faculty and students involved in the Taylor's Field Project can
plan the use of funds, which would be an invaluable experience for the students.
The faculty/students involved in the Taylor's Field Project through the Environmental
Design program will need to manage paid construction, but they can also receive
volunteer support from the Catholic Worker community. 523 South St. Joseph is located
a few doors down from a Catholic Worker house, the family interested in 523 South St.
Joseph volunteers frequently at the Catholic Worker, and an abandoned historic house
two doors down from 523 was recently bought and is currently being renovated with
the plan of making it another Catholic Worker house. Ivy Tech should build strong
connections with the Catholic Worker to leverage their strong community support.
In addition to funding, Todd Zeiger and Paul Hayden from Indiana Landmarks are
available to help develop a rehabilitation plan, conduct workshops, and participate in
construction management.
HPC's collaboration with Ivy Tech is also essential for the Taylor's Field project. Because
the HPC already has experience in teaching hands-on workshops in historic preservation
through their Restore Michiana series, they can leverage that model into the Taylor's
Field project. In addition to providing the workshops to the Ivy Tech students, using the
Restore Michiana workshops as part of the Taylor's Field Project will educate
homeowners/construction workers on green/historic renovation, bring additional
volunteers, and publicize the Taylor's Field project. For a more detailed explanation of
HPC's role in the Taylor's Field Project, please see the "Final Recommendations" section
at the end of this report.
Marketing:
In order to foster as much community support as possible, as well as to publicize the
effectiveness and impact of the Taylor's Field Project, marketing should be performed:
1. The South Bend Catholic Worker publicizes its events through a listserv, which
can be used to promote project work days
2. Every first friday of each month, the Catholic Worker hosts a mass and potluck
dinner in its drop-in center, which attracts 50+ people. The dinner always ends
with a lecture about a community effort. A lecture and email sign-up event for
the Taylor's Field Project could attract many volunteers
3. Indiana Landmarks can publicize the project through their magazine and
electronic media such as their monthly a -letter and web highlight
4. Indiana Landmarks can assist in marketing the house upon completion through
our web page, historicproverties.com and a -letter
5. Efforts should be taken to get the Taylor's Field Project in the local news
PROJECT 2: Vintage Green Proiect
Vision: Todd Zeiger from Indiana Landmarks has received a $12,000 grant for a Vintage
Green Project - a renovation project of an abandoned historic house using "green"
house design. He has chosen a potential house, and is willing to partner with many of
the collaborators we have already contacted for the Taylor's Field Project:
1. Todd Zeiger from Indiana Landmarks has $12,000 to purchase an abandoned
historic house
2. Kathy Kent from Ivy Tech will provide the Vintage Green project as the
fieldwork component of their environmental design program. Faculty and
students of the environmental design program can assist with green design, as
well as help to publicize the project
3. HPC can have a supervisory role over historic preservation aspects of
renovation, especially if the HPC will be working as instructors for the historic
preservation course of Ivy Tech's environmental design program
4. Jim Kelly, ND law professor and co-chair of the Vacant and Abandoned
Properties Task Force, can provide legal work for the project.
Impact:
1. Help out with the vacant and abandoned properties crisis in South Bend
2. Ensure that a historic property is. being renovated according to standard
3. Act as a "green" model home for other house renovation/construction projects
4. Provide a house to a family in need
5. Display the value of historic preservation in the city's renovation plans
The finances, operations, and marketing will be very similar to what was described
above, except that Indiana Landmarks will have more of a management role since they
are heading the project and are planning the allocation of the initial $12,000 they
received. Additionally, volunteer support from the Catholic Worker will need to be
replaced by other community members.
FINAL RECOMMENDATION
Foster Strong Relationship with Ivy Tech
The most definitive and actionable recommendation we can offer is for the HPC to build
a working relationship with Ivy Tech Community College. This relationship is key to the
HPC's ability to leverage the skills and knowledge they already possess. By getting_
involved in the Environmental and Sustainable Design major at Ivy Tech, the HPC can
put their knowledge and expertise on historic preservation to action by training and
teaching local students. How we envision this relationship: HPC staff teaching a course
on Historic Preservation at Ivy Tech.
We met with Kathy Kent at Ivy Tech, who is setting up a new major that includes courses
on historic preservation and environmental rehabilitation, along with up to 240 required
hours of "hands-on" field work. This course would be directly tied to the HPC's
instruction and teaching on preservation and restoration work. These environmental
design students, with mentorship from their teachers and HPC staff, could be the core
supervisory group for restoration projects in Taylor's Field project or the Vintage Green
project, as well as for future projects in historic preservation and rehabilitation. Kathy is
very enthusiastic about having the HPC join her and potentially teach for the new major.
By simply expanding and building on Restore Michiana Workshop Series, the HPC can
create a semester -long Historic Preservation course as a core course in Ivy Tech's
Environmental and Sustainable Design major. We believe that the HPC has in their
possession an important set of skills and know-how that is extremely relevant to the
current housing issue in South Bend.
We think this is a tremendous opportunity to empower local individuals with the
necessary skills and expertise in historic preservation. This is the perfect audience to
take the HPC knowledge and use it productively in the community on actual renovation
projects. This should start by next fall and we believe it is an opportunity that the HPC
should jump on immediately.
(We understand that this is a personal decision, especially for Elicia, and that this could
mean a significant time commitment away from personal obligations to family and the
HPC — and we do not want to overstep our boundaries. But our thoughts are that if you
shifted the Workshop Series efforts specifically to the Ivy Tech students, this could
better utilize HPC's time and efforts in a more fruitful way. Like the Restore Michiana
lecture series/workshops, the HPC can also bring in a number of guest lecturers in
addition to teaching classes themselves.)
BENEFITS
• Provides HPC with manpower for restoration project like the Taylor's Field
Project one or Indiana Landmarks' Vintage Green Project
• Leverages HPC knowledge by empowering local students
• Gives students the tools necessary to work on their own restoration projects in
the community

HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
PRESERVATION SPECIALIST REPORT
June 17, 2013
June, at last? As expected, there has been a great deal of landscaping being done
around the neighborhoods, coinciding with equal amounts of houses that have received
letters from code to cut their lawns. The city forester has had their hands full with,
downed trees and dead ones. If anyone has a chance they should really take a look at the
Riverside Drive embankment west of the duck pond. The bank is eroding at a staggering
rate and these trees are dying off or simply collapsing. At 944 Riverside Drive a tree
"slipped" and is now leaning on the carriage house. The rock steps that used to lead down
to the river behind that house are now simply washed out or simply sheer drops after just
a few steps. This is frightening to say the least.
On a happier note, the Plaster/Drywall Workshop was a great success! I ! We had
16 attendees for the lecture and 12 attendees for the hands on portion. Craig Barber our
expert demonstrated large plaster repair and texturing techniques, while I handled the
lecture part and the hands on for the drywall repair and mudding. We had attendees from
all over the area including two separate property owners from Indianapolis, one from
Lebanon, IN, a city councilman from Peru, IN, a property manager from Goshen, IN, and
even a couple from Benton Harbor, Ml. I would like to mention that Wayne Doolittle was
a huge help for me that day, as none of the Indiana Landmarks staff showed up. (hmmm)
I will be giving a walking tour of the East Wayne Historical District on June 270'
for the Studebaker National Museum. They have been so kind to us by allowing free use
their chairs for the workshops that this was one way of showing our gratitude. If anyone
Would like to share any additional East Wayne fun facts for that tour, I would gladly
welcome them via email. As a side note, we are completely sold out for the August bus
tour. We need to start thinking about next year's tour schedule and acquire underwriters
for the cost of the buses.
Last month I had mentioned the Studebaker Fountain. Margaret Fosmoe from the
South Bend Tribune is currently working on a story that should appear yet this week. The
East Bank/Howard Park business group is having a meeting this evening at bpm. They
have expressed an interest in reinstalling the fountain near its original location. I will
attend that meeting and will report shortly. dim Janowiak from the Studebaker's Driver
Club has really spearheaded this effort to get the fountain installed at the site of the
original Studebaker Blacksmith Shop at the corner of Jefferson and Michigan streets.
We have met with Sarah Heintzelman from the 933 Bridge Project. We had
worked with Sarah to get information about local landmarks in the downtown area for the
mural. The information that is provided for these landmarks on the website is that
information we provided. This is a great project and we should be involved with as it
features some of the buildings that this commission has worked so hard to preserve.

Representation by Betsy Harriman, Administrative Director, SB Parks & Rec.
STAFF REPORT
CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
Date: 3 June 2013
Application Number: 2013-0519
Property Location: Leeper Park West
Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Park
Property Owner: City of South Bend
Landmark or District Designation: National Register Historic Designed Landscape Landmark
Rating: Local Landmark
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: Leeper Park is a designed landscape located north of the commercial and medical
district of South Bend and divided by Michigan Street (US 33). Leeper Park West is bordered by Riverside Drive along the St.
Joseph River, Park Lane to the South, Lafayette to the West, the bluff of Chapin Park to the extreme West and Michigan Street to
the East. It is part of the 1911-1915 Parks and Boulevard system designed for South Bend by George Kessler.

Rating: Contributing
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: This is a 2 storey home constructed with load bearing exterior walls of tile that are
covered with stucco. It has a hipped roof covered with asphalt shingles.
The windows are 8/8 double hung with brick header course and sills, louvered shutters. The entry has a flat roof canopy with
moulded trim , iron grating with a brick stoop. There is a half wall/buttress at the southwest corner. There is a set of French
doors on the front fagade with iron grating.
ALTERATIONS: There is a second storey rear addition noted on the 1987 Survey Card. All of the double hung windows are
vinyl replacement windows. The roof was replaced in 2008. The front door may not be original to the house. The storm door is
new. The fencing was added in 2002.
APPLICATION ITEMS: Replace the front door and French doors on the front of house. The new products would be consistent
in appearance with the historical appearance of the house. We will use a fiberglass product due to the southern direction that the
house faces and inadequate overhangs on the house needed to protect wood doors. The worn out railing systems will be replaced
with regal black aluminum railings. French doors will have 10 lights, identical to the current doors. Front door will be paneled
with a 6 light window. The shutters on the house will be replaced with louvered vinyl shutters. Photos were taken by Steve
Szaday.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The homeowner proposes to replace the current front door with a Smooth -Star
fiberglass paneled front door with six lights. (See product brochure) Preservation Specialist examined the door and found that the
door has deteriorated and the framing has shifted so the door does not close properly. Also the decorative features are
deteriorating. (See Steve's report and photographs) The French Doors are badly deteriorated and the homeowner wishes to
replace those with fiberglass replicas. (See product brochure and photographs). The iron grating above the door and at the French
doors has also deteriorated. The homeowner proposes aluminum replacements that will match the appearance of the ironwork as
closely as possible. He also wished to replace the current shutters with vinyl replicas.
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: East Wav_ ne Street:
C. WINDOWS AND DOORS
Window and door frames are of wood or steel (some casements) or in the case of brick structures, stone sills and brick lintels.
Where metal or vinyl siding has been applied, window trim has been covered. Storm windows are of wood or aluminum.
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. 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 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 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 replacement of the front door (a replica could not be located
by Staff) and the French doors and the railings as those conform to the guidelines for East Wayne Street. The shutters appear to
be in good condition and do not appear to be deteriorated beyond repair.

clapboard style vinyl siding. The hipped roof with gabled dormers on the north and east sides is covered with asphalt shingles.
The porch has a concrete foundation and steps with iron railing and supports with a hipped roof. The windows are 1/1 double
hung with aluminum storms and an oval window on the front fagade and fixed single pane windows on the first storey north and
south side of the house. There is a one storey hipped roof enclosed rear porch.
ALTERATIONS: The porch railing and supports are replacements; the shutters, vinyl siding and aluminum storms are not
original to the house. There are vinyl replacement windows. The roof was replaced in 2003
APPLICATION ITEMS: Addition to rear of house per paperwork submitted.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT. Remove the current enclosed back porch and construct a one storey 12'X 18'
addition along the rear of the house. The siding will match the vinyl siding of the main body of the house, the asphalt shingles
will match those on the main house roof and the windows and doors will match those on the main body of the house. The
homeowner also wishes to replace the current fencing, which is chain link and wood dog ear privacy, with 6' Lattice Top vinyl
fencing along the rear north side of the property. All per specifications, diagrams, drawings and photographs submitted.
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES:
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 where they can be viewed from the public 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. New work may be contemporary of may suggest motifs from the historic buildings. New construction design
should be clearly differentiated from the design of the historic buildings.
A. HEIGHT AND PROPORTION
The majority of structures in the district are two stories in height and are square or rectangular 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 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.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the project as it conforms to the guidelines for the back yards
and new construction in River Bend.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: -A&M Home Services will be removing three layers of shingle including the
original cedar and re -decking. The existing asphalt shingles are 3 -tab, they will be replaced with architectural shingles in slate
color. A skylight in the rear is leaking and will be replaced in-kind. They would like to enclose the internal gutters that are not
functioning and are causing the soffit to rot, proposing to install 5" aluminum seamless gutters and downspouts around the entire
house. Additionally, they intend to reposition the rear block addition's flat roof that has sunk and is causing rot, to have a 4/12
pitch. The Building Department mistakenly issued a permit without the COA.
TAYLOR'S FIELD STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES:
B. ROOFS AND ROOFING
Roof shapes in the district encompass all the various designs found in residential structures: hipped, gable, 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 or
aluminum -sided houses are covered with the same material.
Required
The existing shape and 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
Whenever possible, 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 of the building.
Prohibited
Nothing shall be done to change the essential character of the roof as viewed from the thoroughfare 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, soffits, brackets and gables should not be covered or enclosed when adding metal or vinyl siding to a
building.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed project.

DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: 2 storey plus attic irregular plan on stone block foundation. Siding is wood shingles.
Roof is a hip with hip dormers on sides, covered in asphalt shingles. A full front entrance porch features a side enclosure and a
second storey porch is centered in front. Windows are 1/1 double hung.
ALTERATIONS: A side entrance has been added. A large concrete block addition has been added on back (east) side.
APPLICATION ITEMS: Replace internal failed gutter system with new external seamless gutters. Profile of the new gutters
will not affect the dental work. Seamless gutters will not be lower than the fascia board.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: In addition to reroofing, per COA# 2013-0605 A&M Home Services will be
repairing the soffit and maintaining the original width. They would like to deck over the internal gutters that are not functioning
and are causing the soffit to rot, and proposing to install 5" K style aluminum seamless gutters and downspouts around the entire
house at the edge of the soffit, which will allow the ice and water to be installed at the edge of the roof.
TAYLOR'S FIELD 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 material.
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. No
chemicals, sand blasting or other invasive methods may be used to clean historic buildings. 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 contact the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend & St. Joseph County at 125 Lafayette,
South Bend.
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.
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. 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
B. ROOFS AND ROOFING
Roof shapes in the district encompass all the various designs found in residential structures: hipped, gable, 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 or
aluminum -sided houses are covered with the same material.
Required
The existing shape and 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
Whenever possible, 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 of the building.
Prohibited
Nothing shall be done to change the essential character of the roof as viewed from the thoroughfare 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, soffits, brackets and gables should not be covered or enclosed when adding metal or vinyl siding to a
building.
VI. ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES
Enforcement of the preservation guidelines for the historic district is made possible in the Zoning
Ordinance of South Bend, ordinance No. 5565-73. The Historic Preservation Commission shall issue a Certificate of
Appropriateness before commencement of any construction, reconstruction, alteration, demolition or moving of any house or
structure within the historic district boundaries (see Appendix A). This ordinance, however, does not prevent the ordinary
maintenance and repair of any building or structure which does not involve a change in any exterior feature, nor does it prevent
the reconstruction, alteration, demolition or moving of any building or structure which the Building Commissioner or other
official has determined to be a hazard to public safety.
The Historic Preservation Commission will accept applications for Certificate of Appropriateness
only from the property owner. Property owners wishing to do, or have done, any work affecting the exterior of their building or
land must apply directly to the Historic Preservation Commission on the form prescribed by the Commission (see Appendix A).
The Commission will review the application and either issue a Certificate of Appropriateness or else deny the application, stating
in writing the reasons for such denial. Upon such denial the applicant may appeal to the Common Council.
In making its determination, the Historic Preservation Commission shall consider three factors:
first, appropriateness of the proposed work to the preservation of the building and district; second,
the detriment to the public welfare if the proposed work is permitted even though it is not deemed
appropriate; third, the potential hardship that the denial of the Certificate of Appropriateness
would cause the applicant.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed project where it could cause an economic hardship
to the applicant.
-Staff Report prepared by Elicia Feasel, Assistant Director
I visited 510 St Joe last night and took a series of pics for your review. (refer to attachment). I could only gain access to the porch
above the first floor, so I can't proclaim with complete confidence that the gutter system is intact throughout, but from what I saw
it is in repairable condition. I believe that there are two things going on with this system;
1. There are some pinholes in the gutter itself causing leakage onto the underside of the soffit. A previous owner made repairs
with what appears to be a flowable fill product that dried to produce a flexible membrane. Over time it has delaminated and
failed, allowing water beneath it.
2. Lack of maintenance (cleaning) of the gutters on a regular basis, coupled with their shallow interior depth has caused water
to pour over the sides, damaging the fascia and soffit. I noticed that much of the fascia/soffit damage was at areas of transition -
inside and outside corners; the area's most likely for debris to collect and disrupt water flow to the downspout. I believe that more
of the damage was caused by this than by pinholes in the gutters themselves. The paint damage gives it away pretty readily.
As for repair vs 5" aluminum gutters; it will certainly cost more. How much, I cannot say. In both cases the fascia and soffit must
be replaced and the gutter system and crown moulding removed.
In the repair option, more care/time must be taken to remove and salvage the gutters; the crown moulding will have to be
replaced at a cost of roughly $7/11 and the gutters will have to be cleaned and lined with a waterproof tape/mesh/membrane and
reinstalled. I've never priced that work professionally, but could easily see another $5-$15/1.f.
In the replacement option, the new gutters will have to be installed over the new fascia. This should cost in the $7-$8.50/l.f.
range.
So, Mr. Baxter maybe looking at and increase of up to $13/1.f. Maybe a few thousand more, total.
Again, this is all based upon a 15 minute examination of the lower roof. It may be wise to have an independent third party
perform a more thorough evaluation of the entire roof.
