BUILDING SITE, LANDSCAPING AND ACCESSORIES Individual properties in the district are characterized by a house located near the front of each lot with a small to medium lawn in front and little to no lawn at the rear of the property. Often the back yard is used as a parking lot for tenants. About half of the properties include a garage which is either located at the rear of the property and accessed from unpaved alleys running behind the property or located directly next to the structure and accessed by small drives. Nearly all of the garage structures are out of date, single -stall frame buildings. One large carriage house still stands in the district. Most properties have trees, shrubbery and/or hedges. Most houses conform to the uniform set -back within each block. Required Plants, trees, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house numbers) and benches which reflect the property's 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 and/or small outbuildings should be appropriate to surrounding site elements in scale, type and appearance. Plant materials and trees in close proximity to the building and causing deterioration to the building's historic fabric should be removed and replaced by 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 house. The installation of unsightly devices such as television satellite dishes, solar panels and skylights shall not be permitted in areas where they can be viewed from the public thoroughfare. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval as the project conforms to the guidelines for Taylor's Field. C.D.

Bailey & Christopher Fassnacht Property Owner: Ambassadors for Christ Church Landmark or District Designation: Local Landmark in West Washington National Register District Rating: Outstanding DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: The one and a half storey Richardsonian Romanesque style church building has an irregular plan set upon a stone foundation with multi- colored field stone walls, lighter stone details, rough face white stone string courses, and peak decoration. The roof is a 12/12 pitched cross gable with cut stone capped verges, large carved stone finials at the peaks with slate roofing material. There are double leaf paneled doors, a stained glass arch transom, radiating arch stone voussoirs, and stone squat, pillars and capital. Windows are stained glass with blue and purple schemes, two fixed sash, stone, pillar below, multi light transoms, large fan over side lights with fan half. All stairs are stone. There is a large bell tower on the northeast corner with two doors on either side, corner stone, stone corbelled base, stone wall arcade, stone frame half circle window, gables with dentilled frieze line peak roof and metal finial. There is a cone roof over the round bay on the northwest corner with three arched stained glass windows. ALTERATIONS: A brick entry vestibule/Sunday School room on the rear is not original. Bell tower windows have been enclosed and roof has been changed from slate to Inspire artificial slate. Flat areas of roof are asphalt. APPLICATION ITEMS: Tear off existing. Install new to match steeple done previously. *See Work Order DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: From a 2008 Abbreviated Field Audit Architectural Summary prepared by Troyer Group, "It is our recommendation that this roofing system be replaced as soon as possible." *See attachments from Field Audit, pages 4, 6 — 8. Repairs are to be completed by 3 November 2014 as ordered by Code Department. A work order provided by Bill's Roof Repair details the work proposed to be completed by ML Roofing Solutions. The existing slate tile will be discarded; new artificial slate will be installed. Under COA#2007-0904, Mike Smith Roofing provided temporary (slate) patch work of the most damaged portions of slate roof. It was his opinion at that time that some of the slates could be salvaged and reused. I am not aware of any exploration to reuse the existing slate at this time. GROUP B LOCAL LANDMARK STANDARDS: The Commission has the authority to determine the architectural merits and the extent of any proposed treatment, renovation, or addition to a historic landmark. The commission will require drawings, plans, specifications, and/or samples where appropriate. A. Maintenance The maintenance of any historical structure or site shall in no way involve any direct physical change except for the general cleaning and upkeep of the landmark. The Commission shall encourage the proper maintenance of all structure or sites. B. Treatment Treatment shall be defined as any change of surface materials that will not alter the style or original form. Such improvements include re -roofing, glazing, or landscaping lawns and may involve a change that can potentially enhance or detract from the character of the landmark. A treatment change of any surface whether on the landmark or in its environment may require a Certificate of Appropriateness if it significantly alters the appearance of the landmark. Although these kinds of changes may not require a Building Permit, a Certificate of Appropriateness may be necessary. The commission should review the proposed treatment for character and style consistency with the original surfaces. C. Renovation and Additions Renovation is the modification of a structure, which does not alter the general massing while and addition, is a change in mass. A modification, which involves the removal of a part of the landmark, should be considered under demolition (see demolition). Additions to landmarks should not detract from the original form and unity of ht landmark and should not cover singular examples of architectural detail. Additions to landmarks should be added in a manner that does not disrupt the visible unity of overall appearance of the site. The proportions, materials and ratios of the existing structures should be carried through in the additions. Care should be taken not to change or alter the following: 1. Structure—Necessary structural improvements, where safety demands should be accomplished in such a way as to cause minimal visual change to the original style and construction. 2. Material—Additions and improvements involving any new material in the landmark should be of the same material as the original. It should be the same size and texture. An alternative material may be allowed if it duplicates the original. a. wood—all wood trim should conform with existing trim in shape and size. b. siding materials—the Commission discourages the covering or alteration of original materials with additional siding. Structures already sided with incompatible materials should be returned to a siding similar to the original when renovation is considered. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed project. Staff recommends that intact slates be reclaimed and offered as salvage.

It is believed that the cross may have been designed by Tiffany & Co. however this has not been verified. The Sanctuary Annex is approximately 10'x 16', is located directly to the south of the main Sanctuary, and has one large double window of stained glass on the south wall. The Annex connects to a 15' x 15' room to the east, and the former Infant Classroom and Hall to the west. The Annex looks out upon the Sanctuary to the north and there are curtains and a railing at this location to divide the spaces. There are three large stained glass windows in the room to the east -- two on the east wall and one on the south wall. The Basement contains a Dining Room approximately 38'x 38' with two rows of iron columns, a Kitchen approximately 14'x 1T, a Storeroom approximately 6'x 16', a Hall approximately 12' square, a Sink Room approximately 6'x 6', a Lavatory approximately 6'x 6', a Boiler Room approximately 16'x 18', and a Coal Room approximately 18'x 22'. The Basement has had rooms added over the years and there are now many more rooms within the Basement. Additionally there are areas with unfinished crawlspaces. The Basement is largely unused by Ambassadors for Christ, but could become a viable space if renovated properly. The Church was renovated and rededicated in 1940. During this renovation much of the original Venetian frescoes were painted over and all gas lamps were replaced with electric lights. Also during or subsequent to this'renovation a second floor was added to the Sanctuary Annex and an addition was constructed at the southwest comer of the church. The second floor is accessible via two staircases within the Sanctuary Annex. The upstairs currently consists of four rooms and composite file floors. The Addition has a couple of offices and two restrooms. The Ambassadors for Christ Church as it stands today, is in uoor to critical condition overall. There are areas which need immediate attention to prevent further degradation of the building. These and other concerns are highlighted below. The following is a brief summary of our findings which may require immediate attention. 1. Repair slate roof as soon as possible.. The current conditions have deteriorated to the point where water infiltration is affecting the structural integrity of the roof. In addition many of the water infiltration issues at the interior can be directly attributed to the roof. 1 " l 2. Thoroughly inspect and repair the wood structure. 3. Tuck point and repair mortar at the exterior of the building to eliminate bulk water infiltration and damage at the interior of the building. 4. Repair and replace flashing at roof and materials connecting to roofing. Abbreviated Field Audit Architectural Summary Ambassadors for Christ Church January 24, 2008 Page 6ofll The following is a more detailed summary of our findings: Primary Structural Analvsis 1. Foundation Drainage — It appears that the existing downspouts are not all connected to an overall site drainage system. It appears that many of the gutters and downspouts are in disrepair with connections that are currently non-functional. As a general recommendation, the gutters and downspouts should repaired/replaced and be connected to drywells or storm sewers which serve the building grounds. If these items are not corrected, the building will have a greater chance of experiencing water infiltration at the foundation level. Water infiltration at the foundation can lead to a multitude of problems including structural issues at the foundation. 2. The building structure varies between the church and the subsequent addition. The church and addition are primarily load bearing masonry construction. The church appears to have both stone and masonry exterior walls, with the walls being as much as 20" thick in some locations. The basement level of the church appears to have a mixture of masonry columns, stone foundation walls, some interior masonry load bearing walls, and some steel columns. There is no basement underneath the office addition; it does, however, have a crawlspace accessible from the church basement. The main floor of the church and the addition are primarily wood framing. The second floor within the Sanctuary Annex appears to be concrete. Overall the slabs, basement walls, load bearing structure, structural floors, and floor framing have some minor physical issues, but appear to be in good condition. 34 It should be noted that this item is of critical importance for the long-term and, immediate care of the building. The framing of the church roof is wood. The roof is a combination of pitched roofs and flat roofs. The shingles over the pitched areas of the roof are slate tile. These shingles are believed to be from the original construction of the building. The slate tiles themselves are believed to be in good to fair condition. However, the slate the roof as a complete roofing system is failing. The slate roof has let a large amount of water infiltrate the building in various areas and is responsible for most of the damage at the interior of the building. It is our recommendation that this roofing system be replaced as soon as possible. When this replacement is done it may be possible to salvage the existing slate tiles and reuse them. When the slate tiles are removed, the underlayment should be properly inspected and replaced as necessary. Abbreviated Field Audit Architectural Summary Ambassadors for Christ Church January 24, 2008 Page 7 of 11 The flat roof areas are located at the east entry vestibule and the addition. These roof areas were previously repaired/replaced. It is believed that this was done within the last ten years. This appears to have eliminated the water infiltration in these areas. These roofs should be inspected twice a year at a minimum; however, manufacturer's recommendations on inspections should take precedence. The underlvine roof structure is showing signs of severe rot and duress in some areas. These areas should be scheduled for replacement as soon as Dossible to prevent structural failures and further damage to the building. In addition to these items some of the roof overhangs and eaves do not appear to be properly flashed or have appropriate gutters. This is allowing the water to run down the face of the exterior walls damaging the stone and infiltrating into the interior. TTG strongly recommends that adequate flashing and gutters be installed to redirect the flow of bulk water. Once these items have been addressed, an annual maintenance program including inspections and repairs as needed should be put into place in order to alleviate future potential problems and the cost of large repairs. Secondary Structural Analvsis 4. The floor finishes throughout the building vary. The floor finishes appear to include ceramic tile, asbestos composite tile, stained wood floor, carpeting, and sealed concrete. The floor finishes range from fair condition to poor condition. Some carpeted areas are showing wear in heavy traffic areas. The Church should consider a carpet replacement schedule and budget; carpet is generally recommended for replacement every ten (10) years depending on intensity of use. The ceramic tile in the entry vestibules is a maintenance concern and does appear to be heavily worn and is physically damaged in some areas. Due to the historic nature of these areas it is recommended that the tile in these areas be cleaned and reset as necessary. As ceramic tile degrades, it becomes a slip hazard. Because of this and the historical and aesthetic importance of the tile work. it is recommended that the tile work be performed immediately. Both the upstairs rooms and a number of the basement rooms have composite tile. Due to the age and look of this tile, it may be asbestos composite tile that will need to be disposed of properly when removed. Areas where the tile is beginning to break apart or detach from the sub -floor should be addressed as soon as possible. As the tile begins to break up it may be releasing asbestos into the air. Indoor air quality is a vital concern and is a major cause of human frailties. The suspected asbestos tiles should be further examined to determine their exact composition. If L the tiles are indeed asbestos it is recommended that appropriate action be taken. Abbreviated Field Audit Architectural Summary Ambassadors for Christ Church January 24, 2008 Page 8 of 11 5. The interior walls of the building are a mixture of masonry with painted stucco, wood framing with painted stucco, and wood framing with painted drywall. The interior walls throughout the facility are generally in fair condition with some areas in poor/critical condition due to cracking and water infiltration (some of which is still ongoing due to the condition of the roof). The walls which are in poor condition should be repaired, patched and repainted once the problem of the water infiltration has been fully investigated and eliminated. In general all painted walls should be repainted on a cyclical basis. The areas that have been damaged by water should also be inspected for mold. If mold is found, remediation work should begin as soon as possible. The interior of the Northwest Entry Vestibule is in critical condition due to water infiltration and should receive immediate attention. Refer to item 6 for more information. 6. The exterior walls of the church typically are load bearing masonry consisting mainly of fieldstone laid in colored cement with ornamentation of white sandstone. The masonry generally appears to be in acceptable condition with some areas of concern. The -mortar joints should -be -tuck -pointed and repaired as -part -of a cyclical maintenance program. The areas of concern include brick/stone tuck -pointing, brick/stone replacement, and repair of sandstone spalling. _*An area of critical concern is the turret at the northwest corner of the church. The stone in this area is experiencing extreme wear from water running down its face. Also at this location the mortar has begun to fail and fall out allowing water infiltration to the interior and damaging the exterior wall especially around the windows. This area should receive further inspection with action taken as soon as possible to avoid further damaee. In addition to these items, some of the roof overhangs and eaves do not appear to be properly flashed or have appropriate gutters. This is allowing water to run down the face of the exterior walls damaging the stone and infiltrating into the interior. The radiators that have been used as the heating system currently have the release valve against the walls. Over the course of time, the steam being released has severely damaged the wall directly adjacent to the radiators. Appropriate repair actions should be taken at these locations. As a future precaution these areas should be maintained on a regularly scheduled basis. 7. The ceilings throughout the building vary. The ceiling finishes generally include acoustical tile, suspended acoustical tile, and finished wood. The ceiling finishes range in condition. The acoustical panels are in poor condition throughout the building; in some locations they show signs of water damage while in other places -,v -vv"Vx� bSOC-69T VIP 4 Location Budget as of 08-31-2014 Note: Includes transactions after the last posted date of 01-01-20114.

We had a GREAT workshop on Saturday at the Old Republic in New Carisle! Russ Luchies from Midwest Masonry was our expert and helped us grind and re tuck old failing mortar, new poor mortar, and even some ill -placed quik-crete that someone called mortar. The pictures are online on Facebook and should be on the website by the end of the week. This was the last of our hands-on workshops for the year and it is always bittersweet for me as I do enjoy these workshops so very much. We have had over one hundred attendees to the workshops as a whole this year and that is impressive! Next year we will be glad to be a part of the exciting things going on at Indiana Landmark's property on Chapin across from the Studebaker Museum. The entire house is going to be set up for work shops throughout the year. Although this is not through Restore Michiana, I am certain that Elicia and myself will be collaborators on some of those presentations. Due to popular demand we will be doing an introduction to power tools in spring. Last week Catherine and I each took a bus load of Young Professionals on a Local Historic Districts tour via chamber of commerce. This was a great bunch of people that really did not know much about their city. It was so well received that Catherine and I have assisted some of the real estate agents that were on the busses to find information on some of their listings. Go US! As fall approaches one of the greatest challenges that face us will be roofs and gutters. Those that did not make repairs following last winter's wrath will be sorry this year. Already you can see several more houses in areas (chapin park i.e.) that have dislodged gutters and missing shingles. These houses have been turned into Code Enforcement to send out their initial letters. I am heading to Madison, Wisconsin this evening to attend the National Preservation Institute series on Window Preservation. I applied and successfully received a scholarship to attend the two day hands-on seminar. I will let everyone know how that went next meeting.

BUILDING SITE, LANDSCAPING AND ACCESSORIES Individual properties in the district are characterized by a house located near the front of each lot with a small to medium lawn in front and little to no lawn at the rear of the property. Often the back yard is used as a parking lot for tenants. About half of the properties include a garage which is either located at the rear of the property and accessed from unpaved alleys running behind the property or located directly next to the structure and accessed by small drives. Nearly all of the garage structures are out of date, single -stall frame buildings. One large carriage house still stands in the district. Most properties have trees, shrubbery and/or hedges. Most houses conform to the uniform set -back within each block. Required Plants, trees, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house numbers) and benches which reflect the property's 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 and/or small outbuildings should be appropriate to surrounding site elements in scale, type and appearance. Plant materials and trees in close proximity to the building and causing deterioration to the building's historic fabric should be removed and replaced by 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 house. The installation of unsightly devices such as television satellite dishes, solar panels and skylights shall not be permitted in areas where they can be viewed from the public thoroughfare.

STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: I. THE ENVIRONMENT A. THE DISTRICT ENVIRONMENT The district is characterized by its proximity to downtown South Bend. It encompasses several blocks of East Wayne Street, North and South, from Eddy Street east to Greenlawn and the south side of Jefferson Boulevard from Eddy Street east to Sunnyside Avenue. The district is bounded on the north by Jefferson Boulevard from Eddy Street to Sunnyside Avenue and then by the north property lines of the Wayne Street properties to Greenlawn. The south boundary is the southern right of way of the alley or the southern property lines of East Wayne Street, South. Unique features of the neighborhood include the island of homes between East Wayne Street North and East Wayne Street South, the parks at each end of the island, and the brick pillars at the entrance way (Eddy Street) to the subdivision with signage reading "Whitcomb and Keller's Sunnymede." Required Distinctive existing features such as brick entry pillars, parks, gardens, streetlights, fences, signs, walkways, streets and building setbacks shall be retained. Major landscaping items, fencing, walkways, streetlights, signs and benches shall be compatible with the character of the neighborhood in size, scale, material and color. Street lighting should be maintained at levels recommended by the Illuminating Engineering Society. Light sources must have spectral distribution in all color ranges. Older light fixtures and supporting posts must be similar in proportion, scale, size, shape, style, and appearance to the existing historic lamps. Streetlights shall be placed so that adequate illumination is afforded all sections of public sidewalks. Recommended Whenever possible, the original features should be restored. Plant materials and trees in close proximity to buildings, sidewalks or streets that are causing deterioration to those elements should be removed. As much natural vegetation as possible should be preserved. If large shrubs become unsightly to the point of detracting from the historic character of the house or site, they should be cut back and allowed to rejuvenate. Dead and diseased material should be selectively removed. Trees and major landscaping elements that must be removed for one reason or another should be immediately replaced by suitable flora. When replacement of utility poles or power supply lines is necessary, consideration should be given to underground conduits or utility poles erected along rear property lines. The curb height should be sufficient to maintain adequate drainage of the street. If older light fixtures are taken down in the city, they should be reserved for use in the historic district. Light fixtures on top of the brick pillars at the Eddy Street entryway should be replaced according to these standards. Prohibited Existing relationships of buildings and their environments shall not be destroyed through widening existing streets, application of asphalt or other bituminous coverings, or by introducing new streets or parking lots. Signs, streetlights, benches, major landscaping items, fencing, walkways and paving materials which are out of scale or inappropriate to the neighborhood may not be used. The introduction of heavy trucks or similar vehicles in the District shall be prohibited. Not Recommended High-intensityoverhead streetlights should not be used. B. BUILDING SITE, LANDSCAPING AND ACCESSORIES Individual properties in the district are characterized by a house located in the center of a flat lawn, often divided by a walk leading to the front entrance. Several of the residences are sited on two or more building lots; however, the preponderance of the homes have been erected on a single lot. Most of the properties include a double garage, usually located at the rear of the property. The majority of garages are accessed from straight driveways leading from the main thoroughfare, while a few are accessed from the alley. There are also a few homes with a covered carport located at the rear of the property, as well as a few with circular driveways. Driveway and sidewalk materials include concrete, asphalt and brick. All of the properties have trees and most have trimmed shrubbery and/or hedges. Most of the houses conform to a uniform setback line within each block. Required Major landscaping items, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house numbers) and benches which reflect the property's history and development shall be retained. Dominant land contours shall be retained. Structures such as gazebos, patio decks, fixed barbecue pits, swimming pools, tennis courts, greenhouses, new walls, fountains, fixed garden furniture, trellises and other similar structures shall be compatible to the historic character of the site and the neighborhood and inconspicuous when viewed from a public walkway. Recommended New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in photographs, drawings and newspapers. New site work should be appropriate to existing surrounding site elements in scale, type and appearance. Plant materials and trees in close proximity to the building that are causing deterioration to the building's historic fabric should be removed. However, trees and plant materials that must be removed should be immediately replaced by suitable flora. All high intensity security lights should be approved by the Historic Preservation Commission. Prohibited No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing major landscaping items, trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings or other elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and development. Front yard areas shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped. Front yard areas shall not be fenced and fences shall not extend forward beyond the setback line of the house. The installation of unsightly devices such as television reception dishes and solar collectors shall not be permitted in areas where they can be viewed from the public thoroughfare. Not Recommended Telephone or utility poles with high-intensity over head lights should be installed so that they cannot be seen from the thoroughfare.

Bell tower windows have been enclosed and roof has been changed from slate to Inspire artificial slate. Flat areas of roof are asphalt. APPLICATION ITEMS: Tear off existing. Install new to match steeple done previously. *See Work Order DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT:. From a 2008 Abbreviated Field Audit Architectural Summary prepared by Troyer Group, "It is our recommendation that this roofing system be replaced as soon as possible." *See attachments from Field Audit, pages 4, 6 – 8. Repairs are to be completed by 3 November 2014 as ordered by Code Department. A work order provided by Bill's Roof Repair details the work proposed to be completed by ML Roofing Solutions. The existing slate tile will be discarded; new artificial slate will be installed. Under COA#2007-0904, Mike Smith Roofing provided temporary (slate) patch work of the most damaged portions of slate roof. It was his opinion at that time that some of the slates could be salvaged and reused. I am not aware of any exploration to reuse the existing slate at this time. GROUP B LOCAL LANDMARK STANDARDS: The Commission has the authority to determine the architectural merits and the extent of any proposed treatment, renovation, or addition to a historic landmark. The commission will require drawings, plans, specifications, and/or samples where appropriate. A. Maintenance The maintenance of any historical structure or site shall in no way involve any direct physical change except for the general cleaning and upkeep of the landmark. The Commission shall encourage the proper maintenance of all structure or sites. B. Treatment Treatment shall be defined as any change of surface materials that will not alter the style or original form. Such improvements include re -roofing, glazing, or landscaping lawns and may involve a change that can potentially enhance or detract from the character of the landmark. A treatment change of any surface whether on the landmark or in its environment may require a Certificate of Appropriateness if it significantly alters the appearance of the landmark. Although these kinds of changes may not require a Building Permit, a Certificate of Appropriateness may be necessary. The commission should review the proposed treatment for character and style consistency with the original surfaces. C. Renovation and Additions Renovation is the modification of a structure, which does not alter the general massing while and addition, is a change in mass. A modification, which involves the removal of a part of the landmark, should be considered under demolition (see demolition). Additions to landmarks should not detract from the original form and unity of ht landmark and should not cover singular examples of architectural detail. Additions to landmarks should be added in a manner that does not disrupt the visible unity of overall appearance of the site. The proportions, materials and ratios of the existing structures should be carried through in the additions. Care should be taken not to change or alter the following: I. Structure—Necessary structural improvements, where safety demands should be accomplished in such a way as to cause minimal visual change to the original style and construction. 2. Material—Additions and improvements involving any new material in the landmark should be of the same_ material as the original. It should be the same size and texture. An alternative material may be allowed if it duplicates the original. a. wood—all wood trim should conform with existing trim in shape and size. b. siding materials—the Commission discourages the covering or alteration of original materials with additional siding. Structures already sided with incompatible materials should be returned to a siding similar to the original when renovation is considered. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed project. Staff recommends that intact slates be reclaimed and offered as salvage.
