Director's Report
March 2013
25 February HPC Meeting and Strategic Planning meeting afterward. Learned from
Catherine Toppel that 1631 LWW , one of HPC's LL, was scheduled for demolition
hearing on 28 February; she also alerted the Office of an VOP letter from John Oxian
criticizing HPC and Code about this. Researched the problem and discovered that HPC
was never notified and that there are omissions on the City's GIS of some designations.
26 February General Office work. Work on new tour plan. Contacted SB Tribune
about omissions of HPC in the Restore Michiana article. Indiana Landmarks just sent out
a link from their publication and only mentioned themselves. HPC Staff and Interns put
the entire series together, wrote the copy and met with Paul Hayden to inform him of the
workshop series specifics. Read the Vacant and Abandoned Housing Report.
27 February RME COA for in-kind replacement of Driveway at 528 River. New
Director of Code, Shubhada Kambli, introduced at the Vacant and Abandoned Housing
Meeting at Washington High School. Elicia arranged a meeting on Friday with Chris
Chockley for a discussion of 745 Leland that he wants to invest in.
28 February Meeting with Rob DeCleene and Sue Solmos about the proposed tour.
Legends of Notre Dame is the working title at the moment. They were both very excited
and supportive of the concept of a tour that would show where coaches lived and the
houses and buildings of "Notre Dame Brick". Chris Fielding, Assistant Executive Director
of Community Investment met with me and the Staff and the Interns. Attempted to bring
him up to speed on the scope of the Commission and the focus of the Office. He is all on
board with deconstruction, salvage and preservation trades for the reconstruction and
rehabbing of vacant homes. Turned in fees for February. 5:00 meeting with the Events
Committee at the Conservatories for a Golden Anniversary celebration for the Ella Morris
Conservatory on 27 April.
1 March Meeting with Chris Chockley in Office about the house on Leland. He is
also a newly appointed member of the Park's IF, Very interested in up grading
the park system and looking at supporting a bond issue for the needed work. Expressed an
interest in Leeper Park and possible restoration of the rose garden with more species of
roses. Gave him the info on the Garden of Fragrance plans and the new lift station. Met
with Jerry Frye the new owner of 319 William, a local landmark. He researched the files
and I gave him information on Abatron and Speed Heaters to paint removal. Karen Hann
arrived at 4:00 for research and guidance on the LaSalle Hotel that she and a group of
investors want to rehab into a multi use site with apartments, condos and bike store.
2 March ,John Oxian's opinion piece was published. Highly critical of Code and
HPC. E-mailed Commissioners.
4 March Worked with Brian Haygood to get the two local Landmarks off of the
demo list. Sent him updated copies of the City and County landmarks for Code's records.
Latest Code hearing listing for 21 March has Steve at Mag Mile's properties on Portage
listed for a demo hearing. Contacted Steve to advise him via e-mail. Resolved that as well
by mid afternoon. Composed letter to new Director of Code, Shubhada Kambli, to
introduce myself and the Office and the work of the Commission; and to set up a luncheon
meeting. Reviewed Steve Szaday's April First Friday mini tour of the downtown churches.
5 March Resolved demolition issues at 607 Leland and corrected it to the house next
door at 611. Sent a -mails to Scott Ford, Chris Fielding and Kathryn Roos that HPC is to
be included in the 1000 houses in 1000 days. Approved 19 106 Reviews for rehabilitation.
Gave Interns, Grace and Amanda, NICH tour of their Sweets Exhibit and then showed
them where these places were located in downtown.
6 March General Office work. Rudy Ortiz from River Ave in Edgewater Place came
in and expressed an interest in purchasing 1402-1404 LWT and wanted to know if it was in
a district. It's in LWE LHD and in rough shape. The original house has been added onto
and is covered in Insul Brick. Advised him since he wasn't the owner the Commission
could not entertain a COA application for exterior changes. He decided against the
purchase. Inquiry about a buried fuel tank in E. Wayne. Sent the homeowner the Building
Department's listing of bonded Excavation Contractors. 5:00 BSSB meeting for fund
raising event.
7 March Received the 50 demo candidates from Code. Only 3 of the 47 have had
Environmental Reviews. Check 2011 and 2012 106s against listing. Reviewed Contract
with City and contacted Larry Meteiver with questions about the Affidavit—who signs?
8 March Continued the past 106 Reviews with the 50 demo listing. Notified Code
that we had seen only three in 2012 and 2011 on that list and that three were in St.
Casimir's N.R. District. Deb at Code said she had not seen any Enivornmental Check
Lists from Community Investment since Judy Roscheck left. Called Lory Timmer in CI to
alert her; faxed her the listing. Pam Myers called back to thank HPC for the alert and they
will see if any of these demos are going to use federal or state funding so they can be
reviewed and federal or state funding secured. Plotted the "Legends of Notre Dame" tour
and the N.D. Brick Houses on the map. Still need to look at these homes to make sure
they are presentable.
9 March Attended NNN meeting at Charles Martin Center between 10:00 and noon.
Met with Rose from Indiana Association for Community Economic Development and
referred to our work in neighborhoods with workshops and seminars for homeowners who
want to learn how to maintain their homes. Alphabetized all of the demos from 2011 and
2012 to make sure that nothing would fall through the cracks again.

Contract. Met with Lory Timmer and she brought 17 106 Reviews from that list of 50 that
were being funded with federal money and needed to have the reviews. Landmarked 607

include HPC in the process beyond the 106 Reviews. Reconciled the Location Report.
Met with John Charles Bryant at the Office concerning the Cemetery. He is very
concerned with the deterioration. Contacted Phil St. Claire, Greg Kil and Elicia about

Sons of Israel. Accepted COA for April for 1201 E. Wayne.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
PRESERVATION SPECIALIST REPORT
March 18, 2013
Happy March! I hope everyone had a great St. Patrick's Day. The largest focus
of this last month was completing the City Landmark Surveys and getting them organized
to mail out. Yes, they are printed and all the mailing information updated. Unfortunately,
No they have not hit the mailbox yet, but hopefully they will be this week.
We have also spent a great deal of time working on the 106 reviews as both
rehabilitation and demolition approvals have required photographs to be taken and
documented (36 in the past 30 days). There are an alarming number of structures that are
also listed as contributing or significant in the structural survey. We actually had a
meeting today with code and members of the vacant and abandoned housing task force.
We can only hope that greater communication and cooperation may exist between
ourselves and the rest of the city.
On a happier note, we now have the flyers for the Restore Michiana Workshops!
To date we have 12 locations that have already posted those not including our partners or
sponsors. The response so far has been promising despite the HPC being left out of press
releases and other communication by Indiana Landmarks. Reservations may be made at
Eventbright.
Properties turned into code since last meeting:
607 Leland
611 Leland
706 Rex
750 Portage
735 LWE
2644 Western
211 N Walnut
Please remember that our first workshop will be Saturday April 6t' on Landscaping!
