STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: 2 March 2015 Application Number: 2015-0302 Property Location: Leeper Park West Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Park/George Kessler 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. ALTERATIONS: The duck pond was restored in 1979. The formal gardens were grown over in the 1980s. The playground equipment is not original to the Park. A Parking Lot south of the Tennis Center was added during the Madison School renovation along with lighting without COA. The tennis courts were replaced in 2007 and the "odor garden" was installed in 2008. New Playground equipment was installed 2013. APPLICATION ITEMS: Part A: Connect required storm sewer that is to be placed inside the new Memorial North Parking Lot to the existing storm sewer network that goes through Leeper Park. Once the pipe has been installed the disturbed area will be returned to its original condition. Part B: Install a new above ground Pedestal across Park Lane from I&M Manhole. The new Pedestal will be located 10 -15 feet north of the existing curb. The pedestal that is to be installed is approximately 29" by 16" and it will sit above ground approximately 24"....For the purposes of screening both the new Pedestal and existing utilities from the general public in the park, a line of six 5 gallon evergreen shrubs (Taxus X Media -see photos) will be placed approximately 5' north of the Pedestal. These shrubs typically grow to 3'-4' in height and are described as an easily maintained hedge. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Part A. The applicant proposes to install a 36" storm sewer pipe that will be placed about 29' from its current location on the north curb line of Park Lane and Main Street to an existing structure that sits approximately 20' North and 21.3" West of the existing light pole near the same intersection. This will entail creating a trench with an excavator 3.5' deep from the top of the pipe to the new location. Once the pipe has been installed thetrench will be backfilled within 4 inches of the surface, and the remaining area will be filled in with top soil, leveled and covered with new sod to match what is currently on site. (Please refer to Appendix A and photographs.) Part B. To install an above ground Pedestal in Leeper Park directly across Park Lane to accommodate two 4" conduits from existing I&M Manhole C7-4.All conduits will be buried at a depth of 36' and will be concrete encased. Also underground service connectors will be installed from the new Pedestal to the existing Pole and 1 -1 -frame which are within a 15 foot radius. These will be buried at least 30". This installation and the current utilities next to it will be screened by Taxus X Media shrubs a type of slow growing drought resistant Yew that can grow up to five feet in height. (Please refer Area B text and photographs.) STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: Leeper Park Standards and Criteria Part A. 9.3 Topography: (includes Shape, Slope, Elevation, Contour of landforms and Ground Plane... 1. All locations and items listened in 9.2.2 shall also apply to this section and shall be preserved. V1 9.2.2 All views, vistas and landscape spaces located north and east and west of a line designated as the northern fence of the tennis courts located in the western section of Leeper Park shall also be preserved... Part B. 9.2 Spatial Organization (included Views Vistas, Landscape Spaces, etc.) 14. Intrusive views or new construction may be screened with compatible fencing or plant material so long as the screening would not detract from the historic character of the landscape. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff Recommends approval of Part A as the project will be underground and the surface of the Park will be restored. Part B: Staff recommends approval of Part B. The installation of the Pedestal as it is near other utility installations located on the south perimeter of the Park along Park Lane. This installation will be screened from the Park by 5 gal. evergreen Yew shrubs, Taxus X Media, which do well in shaded areas, are drought resistant and low maintenance. The conduits and wire service will be also installed underground and the ground area restored. Prepared by Catherine D.

Signature of Contractor el —APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS ARE LISTED ON REVERSE SIDE— Part A (See Appendix A) The following describes the proposed work that the awarded contractor is to perform in order to connect the required storm sewer that is to be placed inside the new Memorial North Parking Lot to the existing storm sewer network that currently goes through Leeper Park. All work will be done as part of the Bartlett Street Improvements Phase I and Memorial North Parking Lot Project. (City Project No. 114-032 and 114-047). One 36" storm sewer pipe, approximately 29' long, will be placed from the existing structure that currently sets on the north curb line at the intersection of Main Street and Park Lane to the existing structure that sits approximately 20' North and 21.3' West of the existing light pole near the same intersection. This pipe will be approximately 3.5' deep from the existing ground to the top of the pipe. An excavator will be required in order to remove the dirt from the area. Once the pipe has been set, the hole will be filled in with the same material that was removed. The disturbed area will be restored to its original condition. If any additional soil is required to level out the area after compaction, it will be done with topsoil. Once construction is complete, all disturbed areas will be covered with new sod of the same type that is currently on site. Arial View of Area # 1 Street View of Area # 1 Horse Trough Memorial Area B (See Appendix A) The following describes the proposed work that Indiana Michigan Power and/or it's subcontractors are to perform in order to re -feed lights and service points in Leeper Park. All work will be done as part of the Bartlett Street Improvements Phase I and Memorial North Parking Lot Project. (City Project No. 114-032 and 114-047). Two 4" conduits (electrical grade) will be installed perpendicularly across Park Lane from the existing I&M Manhole C7-2 to a new above ground Pedestal, see attached photos, that is to be located in Leeper Park approximately 10 to 15ft north of the existing curb. These two conduits will be installed at a minimum burial depth of 36" and they will be concrete encased. The Pedestal that is to be installed is approximately 29" by 16" and it will sit above the ground approximately 24". In addition, we will install underground service wire from this new Pedestal to the existing Pole and H -frame which are within a 15ft radius of the proposed Pedestal location. These underground service conductors will be direct buried at a minimal burial depth of 30". In addition to the primarily underground work described above we will need to do some minor tree trimming on the tree that is located just east and north of the existing I&M Pole. This trimming will be required so that we can re -feed the street lights along Michigan St. with overhead circuitry. For the purposes of screening both the new Pedestal and existing utilities from the general public in the park, a line of six 5 gal. evergreen shrubs (Taxus X Media — see photos) will be placed approximately 5'north of the Pedestal. These shrubs typical grown to 3'-4' in height and are described as an easily maintained hedge. The disturbed area will be restored to its original condition. If any additional soil is required to level out the area after compaction it will be done with topsoil. Once construction is complete, all disturbed areas will be covered with new sod of the same type that is currently on site.

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. ALTERATIONS: The duck pond was restored in 1979. The formal gardens were grown over in the 1980s. The playground equipment is not original to the Park. A Parking Lot south of the Tennis Center was added during the Madison School renovation along with lighting without COA. The tennis courts were replaced in 2007 and the "odor garden" was installed in 2008. New Playground equipment was installed 2013. APPLICATION ITEMS: Madison Primary Center will establish a garden for vegetables, flowers and some fruit trees along an ADA 8 ft. wide walkway sweeping the park edge from Lafayette and Bartlett west and then north in an arc to the south west corner of the tennis courts. Gary Gilot is the service project representative. See Attached. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Madison School has partnered with City Parks, Engineering, Beacon Health Systems, Notre Dame School of Architecture and College of Engineering Students including Tau Beta Pi Honor Society and Student Government "CommUniversity Day". Engagement to execute on April 11, 2015: A Garden-4sections totaling about 3000.square feet including all plants and adjacent small orchard; 8 feet wide ADA standard concrete sidewalk -initially 500 feet long; one monument circle and 2 flanking garden observation/education pads to be added(refer to diagram); 8 +/- historic lights of the style in Leeper Park East to be installed along the 8 foot walk. One on each side of the 3 bump outs along the walk, 1 close to Lafayette and 1 close to the northwest corner end of the current phase of the walkway. Additional lighting may be requested if path system is extended in the future toward Riverside Drive.; 8 +/- durable quality public benches ( see diagram of path system); 4 +8/ - umbrella tables near tennis court (per diagram); Opportunities for public art along the garden walk. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: Leeper Park Standards and Criteria Garden: 9.4 Vegetation 1. Refer to Section 9.2.2 for items within this sections which shall be preserved. Also included in this section shall be the diverse variety of trees, shrubs, bushes and other vegetation which may or may not be indigenous to this region. Lists of such types of vegetation can be found in lists and inventories which were published in the annual reports of both the City of South Bend and the South Bend Park Commission from the years 1910 to 1940. 3 Alteration of existing or addition of new vegetation materials and features will be considered if they do not alter the basic concept of the historic landscape design. 5. When replacement of vegetation materials and features is necessary, it should be based on physical or documentary evidence. 6. If using the same vegetation material is not technically or economically feasible, then compatible substitute vegetation materials may be considered if they convey the same gwoth habit, form, foliage and bloom characteristics as the historic plant.9. Maintenance of, removal of, and additions of vegetation materials and features should consider maintinaing existing or intended vistas and spaces, screening instructions, creating new spaces where appropriate and maintaining defined areas of shade and sun. Path: 9.5 Circulation 4. When replacement of circulation layouts is necessary, it should be based on physical or documentary evidence. 8. Alteration of excisting or addition of new circulation materials and features will be considered if they do not alter the basic concept of the historic landscape design. Benches, Tables and Light %tures: 9.7 Funrishings and Objects (includes Benches, Lights... Sculpture, etc.) 4. Alteration of existing of addition of new furnishings and objects will be considered if the alteration does not alter the basic concept of the historic landscape design. 8 New furnishings and objects should be designed using vandal resistant standards. 12. All new monuments and fountains shall be placed so that they conform to and with the original historic landscape design of the part and park system STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the overall concept of this proposal as it is located in an area of Kessler's Plan for Leeper Park West that was for open playing fields and had elements that were never executed. Staff recommends approval of the garden concept with the exception of the fruit orchard trees and with restrictions on the types of vegetables to be grown in cooperation and with approval of the Parks Department. Kessler did not have fruit trees in his designs nor did he ever incorporate vegetables. Staff has 1910-1940 listings of the types of flowers/plants grown for the Parks available for this project. Staff also recommends considering appropriately proportioned herb plantings as a substitute for vegetables for these gardens. Staff recommends approval of the proposed path system as it roughly corresponds to a path for Leeper Park West around the" ball park" and proposed swimming pool and shelter (never constructed) in Kessler's 1915 plan. Staff recommends approval of the benches, tables and historic street lighting as they are in keeping with the recreational purpose and function of the Park. Prepared by Catherine D.

One each side of the 3 bump -outs along the walk, 1 close to Lafayette and 1 close to the northwest corner end of the current phase of walkway. I am still toying with whether to have regularity of one every 60 feet, but I think straddling the bump -outs is more functional lighting placement, though a little irregular spacing, it would be a pattern with an obvious purpose.

(positive move of 19 percentage points) For second grade they started with 89°o failing or on the bubble and at mid year progressed to 74°0. (positive move of 15 percentage points) For third grade they started at 73°o failing or on the bubble and at mid year progressed to 47°o. (positive move of '27 percentage points) In each year there is still a long way to go to the ultimate education attainment goal, but the train is moving in the right direction and gathering momentum. A final observation is the atmosphere in the school has really changed-- my first visit the school scene was chaos and now it is quiet and orderly and an environment conducive to learning. 91 Can Madison Students with community help do a garden and orchard befitting the Kessler Plan?

The exterior is asphalt siding over wood clapboard with a projecting vestibule at rear side. The roof has asphalt shingles is hip with hip dormers, closed wood soffit overhangs. The full front porch has tapered box columns over rough sewn stone piers. The porch has a flat roof with wood ceiling and wooden balustrade; wood grates at base under porch floor. The windows are wood with 4/1, 1/1 double hung pattern and three nine pane casement windows in the dormers. ALTERATIONS: A four -foot high chain link fence and gate was added to surround the properly. APPLICATION ITEMS: Demolition of house. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The city intends to demolish the house. Over the course of the last three years, no less than 6 times break-ins have occurred and either new boarding has had to be installed or replaced. The porch is caving in and separating from the house; the south east corner has shifted off its footer. The roof has failed in at least two spots and the outside elements are entering attic from above as well as through the removed/broken windows. Animals are burrowing in the overhangs and have started pulling insulation though-as— evident by the photographs taken March 3, 2015. Several code hearings have taken place about this property with Code Enforcement making attempts to contact the owner without success. This property has been listed on the previous 5 tax sales without being sold due to the large bill connected to this property by way of delinquent back taxes from the current owner. Preservation Specialist Steve Szaday has entered the house several times and has reported squatters, garbage, drug paraphernalia, and even evidence of warming fires in pots and the fireplace. The house is located less than 10 feet away from the house directly west and less than 8 feet from a garage at the rear. A fire in the house would be very difficult to contain. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: V GENERAL: A. Buildings in the district should not be demolished except where a building poses a threat to the public safety, and demolition is the only alternative. Documentation of interior and exterior features of the original buildings, especially homes rated as historically significant, is encouraged. Measured drawings and photographs may be submitted to the Historic Preservation Commission for safekeeping and future reference. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommends the approval of the demolition of this property. The house has been significantly damaged through neglect and has become a place used by vagrants. Staff recommends that the demolition contractor makes attempts to salvage the doors, fireplace surround, wood columns, stair case and railings. The house sits 24-30" above street level with a retaining wall in front and on the east side next to the alley. Due to the proximity of the house next door, we recommend that the demolition contractor be instructed to back full the space formerly occupied by the foundation to match the grade and plane of these existing retaining walls. If the walls are damaged during demolition, the demolition contractor will need to replace or repair those walls. We do not wish for the house directly west to experience a situation where the surviving house experiences damage as a result of 213 E South being removed and the fill not properly retained. Public Works and its engineer have been contacted regarding the retaining wall and stated that they would enforce the decision of HPC in regards to this matter provided it was clearly stated on the approved COA so that it could be copied to the permit for demolition.

He invited me to accompany them to see for myself the condition of the property. He knew I had been inside the property previously throughout the last several years when there were break ins. I arrived at 1:30 walked through the three storey structure as well as the basement. The photographs I took will show the deteriorated condition of the roof and the front porch in particular. I did not notice any significant structural damage in the basement or cracks in the foundation. There is a significant amount of garbage in the house and even some locations where it was obvious that this property was being used by vagrants to sleep. We secured an open window that was on the west side of the house that was obviously being used to enter the building. There is a beautiful fireplace surround, pocket doors, hinged doors, trim work, and two amazing columns. Please see the photographs located in the file under Taylor's Field, 213 E South. There is photographic evidence of deterioration over the course of the last 3 years based upon the folders and their respective timelines.

The style is noted in the survey as Dormer Front Bungalow and on the'survey card as Period Revival/Shingle Style. The roof is.a' steep pitched side gable with gabled front dormer having cornice returns, all finished with.asphalt shingles. Walls are wood shingle. A'full width frontporch is covered by an extension of the main roof supported by brick piers with a small cross design at the capital. There is a brick railing with stone caps. According to the 1987 survey.card, windows are 1/1 wood double hung with molded entablatures with a large picture window in front; although most windows are boarded for protection and this cannot be confirmed. There are two brick chimneys. The house is located on a spacious side with a hedgerow around the house and a large gambrel roofed garage in rear, also wood shingle walls. ALTERATIONS: This house is as it was originally built and remodeled in 1915. According to the 1987 survey card, aluminum storm windows are installed. APPLICATION ITEMS: Demolition of house and garage. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: HPC . Staff has been engaged with Department of Community Investment Staff and Code Enforcement Staff regarding the plan to -demolish this property. See below for Exterior Code Violations. HPC Staff has -made a site visit including interior observations with the owner of the property. See below for report. Through Staff research and study of this property, it is not clear what the determining reason is to demolish this property. It is vacant but not .abandoned. Recently the owner paid the tax bill, .paid .a vacant property registration fee, and has entertained the idea of selling the property. Staff is not in agreement with an August 12, 2013 .violation list as it appears to have been surveyed only from the exterior (interior photos taken March 3, 2015 during asbestos testing) so it is not clear how several of the violations have been determined, including structural members and doors. There is no question that the property exemplifies deterioration from neglect, however, there is nothing convincing that the property poses a threat to the public safety, nor is it deteriorated beyond repair. Minimum Maintenance Standards cite that all Landmarks and all contributing structures located in an historic district shall be preserved from decay and deterioration, and shall, be maintained in good repair and kept structurally sound. Historic Preservation Commission intends to work.in partnership with Code Enforcement and Building Department to enforce these standards. An August 12, 2013 Code Enforcement, Exterior Code List cites the following violations: 1. Accessories, such as garages, sheds, fences and retaining walls are not maintained in good repair 2. Wood and metal surfaces, such as windows, doors, frames, siding, overhang and porches have peeling, flaking and chipped paint. 3. Structural members are deteriorated and no longer capable of safely supporting imposed dead and live loads. 4. Walls (siding) have holes, breaks, loose or rotting materials; and are no longer maintained weatherproof or properly surfaced coated. 5. Handrails and guards rails are mission or are not firmly fastened, and are no longer capable of supporting imposed loads. 6. Windows, door and frames are not weathertight. 7. Glazing materials (window and door glass) is cracked or broken. 8. Screens are missing and/or torn from openings. There are no approved, tight fitting screens supplied for all openings utilized for ventilation. 9. Doors and door hardware are not maintained in good condition. Locks no longer tightly secure the door. 10. Basement hatchways are not maintained to prevent the entrance of rats, rain and surface drainage. Comment: Inconclusive. 11. Operable basement windows are not supplied with rat proof shields, storm windows, or other approved rat protection. Comment: Inconclusive. An August 9, 2014 Code Enforcement, Order to Comply and Notice of Continuous Enforcement Hearing orders the following: Demolition of multi -unit. Report from Preservation Specialist site meeting with owner, Margaret Jamison August 27, 2014: On 27 August 2014, I met with Margaret Jameson at 315 W Madison at 10 am. She allowed me to remove the boarding from the rear door and enter the house. There is evidence of where someone had gotten into the house and had squatted. There is garbage mainly on the first level and evidence that animals had gotten inside and had soiled in certain spots. I went to the attic and even though it was raining, the deck was dry and no roof leaks were visible. The owner informed me that the shingles were still under warranty. She also informed me that no one, outside of whomever broke in, had occupied the house for almost 10 years. She informed me that she had the electric, gas, and water meters removed years ago as well. I noticed only a few broken windows as she had hired someone to board them up after experiencing the break-in. I walked the entire house and noticed only a definite need to have the clutter removed in order to make a better description of the condition of the floors, etc. I did not notice and bowing, dips, or anything out of square. Upon entering the basement, I saw no evidence of any water damage or any structural damage in the foundation. The large "octopus" heating system looked almost new. I asked the owner about the system and she informed me that the system was installed just before it was all boarded up and locked down. I walked the outside perimeter of the house and garage and noticed no structural concerns that were visible to the naked eye on either. Fortunately, most of the windows and doors were boarded over before any damage could -be done to them. The owner also informed me that to her knowledge no one from code has ever been inside the structure. Steve Szaday Preservation Specialist. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: V. GENERAL A. Buildings in the district should not be demolished except where a building poses a threat to the public safety, and demolition is the only alternative. Documentation of interior and exterior features of the original buildings, especially homes rated as historically significant, is encouraged. Measured drawings and photographs may be submitted to the Historic Preservation Commission for safekeeping and future reference. B. A Certificate of Appropriateness is required before moving any building or structure. The moving of a building within, out of or into the district is discouraged; however, moving is preferred to demolition. Buildings incompatible with existing stnichues in the historic district shall be prohibited. C. Any rehabilitation work shall not be such as to change a building to a style dated previous to its original style. D. In planning rehabilitation projects, an architect or contractor experienced in preservation should be consulted. E. There shall be a liaison committee consisting of five (5) property owners in the district. The committee's responsibility will be to work with the residents of the district and the Historic Preservation Commission (See Appendix D). F. All guidelines will be reviewed and updated, on the recommendation of the liaison committee, at least every five years. G. In the case of structures located within the district which are designated individually as Landmarks, the most restrictive guidelines shall apply. H. Existing easements and codicils in property owners' abstracts shall remain in effect. I. There is excepted from the general provisions of paragraph A and B of Section V. General, a partial exception for the future property acquisitions and uses by Temple Beth -El, 305 W. Madison Street, South Bend, Indiana. Temple Beth -El is currently located on the east half of the block bordered by Madison, Lafayette, Marion and William streets. The west half of this block is within the confines of the Chapin Park Local Historic District. Temple Beth - El currently owns, through a trust, a lot in the west half of this block and may acquire in the future other lots inthe west half of this block for the purposes of additional buildings, grounds or parking for expansion of its campus. Temple Beth -El and its trusts shall maintain any structures' or property in the west half of aforesaid blocks consistent with these guidelines unless and until Temple Beth -El decides to demolish any structures or buildings. In the event that Temple Beth -El wishes to use such land in the west half of the block for Temple purposes, it shall notify the Historic Preservation Commission and seek a Certificate of Appropriateness for the removal of any buildings or structures in the designated area. Such Certificates of Appropriateness will not be denied nor unreasonably delayed if Temple Beth -El follows the demolition or removal procedures set forth in this paragraph. Upon grant of said Certificate of Appropriateness by'Historic Preservation CoTrunission, Temple.Beth-El may demolish or provide for removal of said buildings. Temple Beth -El may demolish the structure(s) and clear the land, provided that first the structures, be offered for sale and relocation, and publicly advertised at a price of One Dollar ($1.00) with the relocation expenses to be borne by the buyer. The structure shall be offered for sale and relocation for a period of not less than one hundred eighty (180) days. This time period maybe extended by up to an additional sixty days (60) at the request of the Historic Preservation Commission or the Chapin Park Neighborhood Association Board. This paragraph shall not constitute a ' waiver. of any. of the zoning or building code sections of the South Bend Municipal Code applicable to these properties. This waiver will only apply to Temple Beth -El while it owns the property. This waiver does not apply to any other properties in the. district. VI. ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES Enforcement of the preservation guidelines and standards for the historic district is made possible in the Zoning Ordinance of the City of South Bend, ordinance No. 5565-73, as amended and the Historic Preservation Commission's Preservation Plan. The Historic Preservation Commission may petition the Building Commissioner to use the legal means available to him/her to force the maintenance and/or repair of any building or structure within the historic district in accordance with the intent of this ordinance. 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 beta hazard to public safety. 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 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). The Historic Preservation Commission will accept applications for Certificate of Appropriateness only from the property owner. 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. Where the Historic Preservation Commission deems it necessary, the commission may petition the Common Council for a temporary delay in the issuance of the 'required permits) for proposed construction, reconstruction, alteration, demolition or moving for the purpose of preparing an historic preservation plan for a building or district. Such a request shall be for a specified period of time. In no case may the delay granted by the Common Council exceed one (1) year, but the Commission may petition the Common Council for a continuance of any such delay in accordance with the same procedure as for the initial petition. 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. VII. MINIMUM MAINTENANCE STANDARDS All Landmarks and all contributing structures located in an historic district shall be preserved from decay and deterioration, and shall be maintained in good repair and kept structurally sound. The owner or other person having charge or control of Landmarks and property in an historic district shall not allow or permit deterioration from defects or conditions which, in the judgment of the commission, produce a detrimental effect on the character of the district as a whole or the life and character of the Landmark, structure or property in question, including but not limited to: A. Deterioration of exterior walls or other vertical supports causing conditions such as splitting, leaning, buckling, crumbling, visible cracking or similar conditions; B. Deterioration of roofs and other horizontal members causing conditions such as sagging, splitting, buckling, crumbling, holes, missing shingles or similar conditions; C. Deterioration of external chimneys causing such conditions as listing, settling, bulging, crumbling, holes, loose or missing materials or similar conditions; D. The deterioration or crumbling of exterior plasters or mortar; E. The ineffective waterproofing of exterior walls, roofs and foundations, including broken windows and doors; F. The peeling of paint, rotting, holes and other forms of decay; G. The lack of maintenance of surrounding environments such as fences, gates, sidewalks, steps, signs, accessory structures and landscaping; H. The deterioration of any feature so as to create, or permit the creation of, any hazardous or unsafe condition or conditions. The commission shall give notice to the owner or person in charge of the structure, by certified or registered mail, of each specific instance of failure to maintain or repair. A copy of such notice shall be sent to the Code Enforcement Department. The owner or person in charge of such structure shall have twenty (20) days to respond in writing by identifying specifically the corrective or remedial steps to be taken. A Certificate of Appropriateness shall not be required for such repair unless such repair results in a change in the design, form, proportion, mass, configuration, building material, texture, color, location or external appearance of any structure or part thereof. In the latter circumstance, a Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required (HPC Policy; adopted 12-16-91) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: There is insufficient evidence to show that this structure, in its current condition, poses a threat to public safety or that demolition is warranted. The building's condition and structural integrity appear sound. Staff recommends continuous enforcement of the preservation guidelines and standards for the historic district under Zoning Ordinance of.the City of South Bend, ordinance No. 5565-73 and that the City use the legal means available to force the maintenance and/or repair of any building or structure within the historic district in accordance with the intent of this ordinance.

These gable walls are finished in stucco/half timber effect. A one storey covered front porch which is also constructed in the split -faced block including the porch knee -wall and piers which support Tuscan columns. ALTERATIONS: COAs issued in 1998 indicate that replacement windows were approved for all windows, the rear porch was enclosed and the steps restored to the east side of the porch; a new roof and gutter system was also approved. The remaining windows appear to be replacements. APPLICATION ITEMS: Demolition of House and Garage DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT. Demolish the house and garage. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: D. Demolition Historic landmarks shall not be demolished. When a landmark poses a threat to the public safety, and demolition is the only alternative, documentation by way of photographs, measured drawings, or other descriptive methods should a make of both the exterior and interior of the landmark. The person or agency responsible for demolition of the landmark shall be responsible for this documentation. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This particular house was on Code's list for demolition in 1996. HPC petitioned the Common Council to Landmark the Building in 1997 changing its designation from Contributing to Notable. It was purchased and for several years two owners made improvements to the property. It has been off and on Code's Listings for various violations and demolition since 2002 and was sold in a tax sale. It is not known if the purchaser ever took possession of the property or the deed. It is known that he does not respond to correspondence. The ultimate catastrophe to befall this structure was when the South Bend Fire Department set interior fires and used it as a training site for 6-7 months in 2013-2014. That practice was discontinued at HPC's request and the house boarded up again after meeting in May 2014 with Code Director. The attorney's for Code and HPC were supposed to meet and craft a policy/protocol to assure that an HPC designated property does not appear on a list for fire training.HPC Staff has not seen this policy due to personnel changes in Code and in City Legal. Environmental Reviews (106) were submitted for HPC signature in 2013 for demolition which HPC Staff did not process. The house was broken into again via unsecured windows 2014-2015.

Since we can not talk to you verbally, I will present the proposal.as follows: Would you like to donate your house to a not-for-profit organization and take a tax break on your federal income, tax for 1996? Other property owners in your situation have done so, and we have been able to'save the houses. If the city demolishes the house then there will be a lien on the property of several thousand dolldrs and everyone will lose, including you. If you have an interest in my proposal or have some other . idea, please -contact me before the 'end of this month (Dec.). My business number is 234-7202. Someone is there all the time. Sincerely, John Oxian President is historicpreservation commission of south bend and st. joseph county Larry Clifford Code Enforcement Hearing Officer C/O Department of Code Enforcement 1301 County -City Building South Bend, IN 46601 October 31, 1996 re: Case # 96-184, 1631 Lincolnway West Dear Mr. Clifford, ROOM 1123 COUNTY CITY BUILDING south bend, indiana 46601 (219) 235-9'7-98 I am writing in regard to the above referenced code enforcement action which I find scheduled for Hearing on November 4, 1996. I will be unable to autend this hearing, and therefore am submitting this letter for the Hearing record in lieu of a personal appearance. The above referenced building has been identified by the Landmarks Committee of the HPC as historically significant as a rare Foursquare type dwelling constructed entirely in concrete block. As such it has been proposed for designation as a Local Landmark. The first reading of this proposal was on the agenda of the October meeting of the Historic Preservation Commission. The Public He on this nomination is scheduled for the next meeting of the HPC which is scheduled for November 18. The principal purpose of this letter is to notify you that the structure is under consideration for Local Land,ark status and request that you continue the consideration of the proposed demolition until after the commission has had opportunity to complete its consideration of this matter. I would also note that this nomination is not new but was proposed early in the year, its consideration having been delayed by a transfer of ownership which required delay for proper notification. Yours truly, John Oxian - president, HPC CC: David B. Duvall, Director Kathy Dempsey - director, Code Enforcement C&C Property Management Inc.

Catherine Hostetler - Tool Crib Recommendations From: "Timothy S. Klusczinski" <tsk617@gmail.com> To: "'Elicia Feasel"' <EFeasel@co.st joseph.in.us>, "'Steve Szaday"' <SSzada... Date: 12/4/2014 10:06 AM Subject: Tool Crib Recommendations Pagel of 2 This is our basic arsenal. Listed in order of priority (#1 is the first to buy). Beyond the prospect of making this equipment available to the public, I firmly believe that this collection of tools provides the most efficient and safe means for tackling common restoration projects. HPC workshops can benefit enormously from these tools. The public will feel more comfortable in tackling difficult projects as DlYers. Also important to know that Eco -Strip and American International Tool (makers of the PaintShaver) both post rental pricing on their website. It would give us a good idea what to charge once we have tools to offer the public. But until that day, we might be able to work out an agreement with these companies, let them handle the tool rentals directly (or thru HPC) and WE get some commission for facilitating the transaction. Ideally, folks walk into the HPC to rent equipment and get advice on their project. HPC could begin charging consultation fees for private, on-site, hands-on instructionals. Then rents the recommended tools for the task and gets commission for brokering tool rentals for equipment not maintained in our crib. This has HUGE money -making potential! 1. Fein Turbo II Vacuum (lead paint capable). The Turbo I and Turbo III are different sizes of the same technology. I found the Turbo II to be the MOST convenient/manageable size. It comes with a 16' hose. Has incredible suction! This IS the prerequisite tool for ALL tools listed below. One of the quietest vacuums on the market. VERY WELL ENGINEERED. The biggest bang for the buck among the competition (features/durability vs price). But more than that, the accessory bags and HEPA filter (rarely needs replacing) for dealing with lead paint are quite reasonable. I've seen packages as low as $350 on eBay. Full MSRP with all kinds of accessories can be found anywhere between $500 and $600. 1 would be happy to scout around the internet for the best value. 2. "Proscraper" htto://www.oldewindowrestorer.com/nroscraoer.html . Excellent tool that uses carbide long -life scraper blades. Beware of imitations (that use blades of inferior metal alloy Carbon, Chrome Vanadium or High Speed Steel "HSS"). This handheld scraper fits onto vacuum hose and sucks paint while scraping. I would never be without one of these. Too handy. Great compliment to HEPA vac and Speedh eater. MSRP $40 full retail. 3. "Speedheater" by Eco -Strip. Infrared heater that penetrates multiple layers of paint within 30+ seconds. Lightweight. Works on flat or profiled surfaces. Slower than shaving but MUCH less messy. Minimal hazard. Radiation penetrates below the surface and eradicates mold/mildew spores. $500 MSRP. I exchanged emails with the owner a year ago. She said she could offer better pricing for government agencies and not -for -profits ;- 3a. "Silent Paint Remover" is made by another competitor but is supposedly less efficient because of inferior bulbs (less radiation intensity). file://C:\Documents and Settings\chostetl\Local Settings\Temp\XPgrpwise\54803229Interna... 2/4/2015 message rage 2 of 2 4. "Window Tools Kit" by Eco -Strip. htto://www.eco-strir).com/Si)eedkits.htmi Indispensable! MSRP $99. 5. "PaintShaver Pro" Uses 3 triangular carbide cutting inserts (I have a much better source for replacements than this manufacturer). Paint Shaver MUST be used in conjunction with a HEPA vacuum whenever lead paint is involved. $500-$600 MSRP. 6. "Circular SanderVac Pro" or "Orbital SanderVac Pro" are compliments to the PaintShaver gadget. They smooth the wood surface and remove swirl marks left behind from the shaving process.$350 MSRP. -Tim Disclaimer: This electronic message may contain information that is Proprietary, Confidential, or legally privileged or protected.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION PRESERVATION SPECIALIST REPORT March 16, 2015 Hello Commission! Spring? Did someone say Spring? Finally, the weather is starting to change around here! As we do every year, now is the time for event scheduling including but certainly not limited to: tours, workshops, conferences, classes, and of course... BIRTHDAY PARTIES! As you are all aware of the SB150 celebration will be the unveiling of the 3D printed replica of circa 1925 Downtown South Bend. The reason why I am even bringing this up is that we are offering the commissioners an opportunity to volunteer a few hours over the course of the celebration weekend. We would love to have members of the commission assist in the manning of the tent that this will be located at to help answer questions and safeguard the secured display. We will be working on a volunteer sheet later but wanted to let everyone know about this as early as possible. Once again I will be presenting a lecture/slide show on Wednesday at the Studebaker National Museum on Mansion at 1:30. This has been a very broad topic so there are quite of few properties to talk about in a very limited timeframe. This should be a great event to gain some support for HPC. . We will be attending the Parks Board meeting at 4 today to discuss the use of the City Cemetery for the tour on May 9th as well as the lecture and volunteer cleaning days on June 20th, July 18th, and August 15th. I will convey the results of that meeting during the HPC meeting at 7pm. Other than all that, as weather changes the calls for COA applications will come through and we will be in our normal building season regimen. I am looking forward to working with Code Enforcement as the new interim director has displayed a desire to work together to correct problem properties. This is refreshing to say the least and we are keeping our fingers crossed that this will be the case.

PUBLIC HEARING A. CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS 1. Leeper Park West COA#2015-0302 Local Landmark Representation by Roger Nawrot, City of South Bend Engineering STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: 2 March 2015 Application Number: 2015-0302 Property Location: Leeper Park West Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Park/George Kessler 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. ALTERATIONS: The duck pond was restored in 1979. The formal gardens were grown over in the 1980s. The playground equipment is not original to the Park. A Parking Lot south of the Tennis Center was added during the Madison School renovation along with lighting without COA. The tennis courts were replaced in 2007 and the "odor garden" was installed in 2008. New Playground equipment was installed 2013. APPLICATION ITEMS: Part A: Connect required storm sewer that is to be placed inside the new Memorial North Parking Lot to the existing storm sewer network that goes through Leeper Park. Once the pipe has been installed the disturbed area will be returned to its original condition. Part B: Install a new above ground Pedestal across Park Lane from I&M Manhole. The new Pedestal will be located 10 -15 feet north of the existing curb. The pedestal that is to be installed is approximately 29" by 16" and it will sit above ground approximately 24 ...... For the purposes of screening both the new Pedestal and existing utilities from the general public in the park, a line of six 5 gallon evergreen shrubs (Taxus X Media -see photos) will be placed approximately 5' north of the Pedestal. These shrubs typically grow to 3'-4' in height and are described as an easily maintained hedge. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Part A. The applicant proposes to install a 36" storm sewer pipe that will be placed about 29' from its current location on the north curb line of Park Lane and Main Street to an existing structure that sits approximately 20' North and 21.3" West of the existing light pole near the same intersection. This will entail creating a trench with an excavator 3.5' deep from the top of the pipe to the new location. Once the pipe has been installed thetrench will be backfilled within 4 inches of the surface, and the remaining area will be filled in with top soil, leveled and covered with new sod to match what is currently on site. (Please refer to Appendix A and photographs.) Part B. To install an above ground Pedestal in Leeper Park directly across Park Lane to accommodate two 4" conduits from existing I&M Manhole C7-4.AlI conduits will be buried at a depth of 36' and will be concrete encased. Also underground service connectors will be installed from the new Pedestal to the existing Pole and H -frame which are within a 15 foot radius. These will be buried at least 30". This installation and the current utilities next to it will be screened by Taxus X Media shrubs a type of slow growing drought resistant Yew that can grow up to five feet in height. (Please refer Area B text and photographs.) STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: Leeper Park Standards and Criteria Part A. 9.3 Topography: (includes Shape, Slope, Elevation, Contour of landforms and Ground Plane... 1.

Part B. 9.2 Spatial Organization (included Views Vistas, Landscape Spaces, etc.) 14. Intrusive views or new construction may be screened with compatible fencing or plant material so long as the screening would not detract from the historic character of the landscape. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff Recommends approval of Part A as the project will be underground and the surface of the Park will be restored. Part B: Staff recommends approval of Part B. The installation of the Pedestal as it is near other utility installations located on the south perimeter of the Park along Park Lane. This installation will be screened from the Park by 5 gal. evergreen Yew shrubs, Taxus X Media, which do well in shaded areas, are drought resistant and low maintenance. The conduits and wire service will be also installed underground and the ground area restored. Prepared by Catherine D.

STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES Leeper Park Standards and Criteria Garden: 9.4 Vegetation 1. Refer to Section 9.2.2 for items within this sections which shall be preserved. Also included in this section shall be the diverse variety of trees, shrubs, bushes and other vegetation which may or may not be indigenous to this region. Lists of such types of vegetation can be found in lists and inventories which were published in the annual reports of both the City of South Bend and the South Bend Park Commission from the years 1910 to 1940. 3 Alteration of existing or addition of new vegetation materials and features will be considered if they do not alter the basic concept of the historic landscape design. 5. When replacement of vegetation materials and features is necessary, it should be based on physical or documentary evidence. 6. If using the same vegetation material is not technically or economically feasible, then compatible substitute vegetation materials may be considered if they convey the same growth habit, form, foliage and bloom characteristics as the historic plant.9. Maintenance of, removal of, and additions of vegetation materials and features should consider maintaining existing or intended vistas and spaces, screening instructions, creating new spaces where appropriate and maintaining defined areas of shade and sun. Path: 9.5 Circulation 4. When replacement of circulation layouts is necessary, it should be based on physical or documentary evidence. 8. Alteration of existing or addition of new circulation materials and features will be considered if they do not alter the basic concept of the historic landscape design. Benches, Tables and Light fixtures: 9.7 Furnishings and Objects (includes Benches, Lights... Sculpture, etc.) 4. Alteration of existing of addition of new furnishings and objects will be considered if the alteration does not alter the basic concept of the historic landscape design. 8 New furnishings and objects should be designed using vandal resistant standards. 12. All new monuments and fountains shall be placed so that they conform to and with the original historic landscape design of the part and park system. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the overall concept of this proposal as it is located in an area of Kessler's Plan for Leeper Park West that was for open playing fields and had elements that were never executed. Staff recommends approval of the garden concept with the exception of the fruit orchard trees and with restrictions on the types of vegetables to be grown in cooperation and with approval of the Parks Department. Kessler did not have fruit trees in his designs nor did he ever incorporate vegetables. Staff has 1910-1940 listings of the types of flowers/plants grown for the Parks available for this project. Staff also recommends considering appropriately proportioned herb plantings as a substitute for vegetables for these gardens. Staff recommends approval of the proposed path system as it roughly corresponds to a path for Leeper Park West around the" ball park" and proposed swimming pool and shelter (never constructed) in Kessler's 1915 plan. Staff recommends approval of the benches, tables and historic street lighting as they are in keeping with the recreational purpose and function of the Park. Prepared by Catherine D. Hostetler, Director On a motion by Tom Gordon with a second by Mike Voll to approve conditionally, abstaining from planting fruit trees at this point and collaborating between HPC Staff, Parks Department and Madison School to decide vegetables. Vote: 5 — 0 unanimous. COA#2015-0302A Approved. 3. 213 E. South Street COA#2015-0303 Taylor's Field Representation by Stanley J. Molenda, City of South Bend Code Enforcement; Roger Nawrot, City of South Bend Engineering STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: 5 March 2015 Application Number: 2015-0303 Property Location: 213 E South St Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: 1905/American Four Square Property Owner: Expedited Credit LLC Landmark or District Designation: Taylor's Field Rating: Contributing DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: This two storey plus attic Foursquare has an irregular plan and is situated on a sculpted concrete block foundation. The exterior is asphalt siding over wood clapboard with a projecting vestibule at rear side. The roof has asphalt shingles is hip with hip dormers, closed wood soffit overhangs. The full front porch has tapered box columns over rough sewn stone piers. The porch has a flat roof with wood ceiling and wooden balustrade; wood grates at base under porch floor. The windows are wood with 4/1, 1/1 double hung pattern and three nine pane casement windows in the dormers. ALTERATIONS: A four -foot high chain link fence and gate was added to surround the property. APPLICATION ITEMS: Demolition of house. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The city intends to demolish the house. Over the course of the last three years, no less than 6 times break-ins have occurred and either new boarding has had to be installed or replaced. The porch is caving in and separating from the house; the south east corner has shifted off its footer. The roof has failed in at least two spots and the outside elements are entering attic from above as well as through the removed/broken windows. Animals are burrowing in the overhangs and have started pulling insulation though as evident by the photographs taken March 3, 2015. Several code hearings have taken place about this property with Code Enforcement making attempts to contact the owner without success. This property has been listed on the previous 5 tax sales without being sold due to the large bill connected to this property by way of delinquent back taxes from the current owner. Preservation Specialist Steve Szaday has entered the house several times and has reported squatters, garbage, drug paraphernalia, and even evidence of warming fires in pots and the fireplace. The house is located less than 10 feet away from the house directly west and less than 8 feet from a garage at the rear. A fire in the house would be very difficult to contain. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: V GENERAL: A. Buildings in the district should not be demolished except where a building poses a threat to the public safety, and demolition is the only alternative. Documentation of interior and exterior features of the original buildings, especially homes rated as historically significant, is encouraged. Measured drawings and photographs may be submitted to the Historic Preservation Commission for safekeeping and future reference. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommends the approval of the demolition of this property. The house has been significantly damaged through neglect and has become a place used by vagrants. Staff recommends that the demolition contractor makes attempts to salvage the doors, fireplace surround, wood columns, stair case and railings. The house sits 24-30" above street level with a retaining wall in front and on the east side next to the alley. Due to the proximity of the house next door, we recommend that the demolition contractor be instructed to back fill the space formerly occupied by the foundation to match the grade and plane of these existing retaining walls. If the walls are damaged during demolition, the demolition contractor will need to replace or repair those walls. We do not wish for the house directly west to experience a situation where the surviving house experiences damage as a result of 213 E South being removed and the fill not properly retained. Public Works and its engineer have been contacted regarding the retaining wall and stated that they would enforce the decision of HPC in regards to this matter provided it was clearly stated on the approved COA so that it could be copied to the permit for demolition. Steve Szaday-Preservation Specialist Catherine Hostetler -Director On a motion by Mike Voll with a second by Tom Gordon to approve application as presented. Vote: 5 — 0 unanimous. COA#2015-0303 Approved. 4. 315 W. Madison COA#2015-0303A Chapin Park Representation by Stanley J. Molenda, City of South Bend Code Enforcement STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: March 3, 2015 Application Number: 2015-0303A Property Location: 315 W Madison (aka 309-313 & 315) Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Dormer Front Bungalow/ 1877 & 1915/Benz House Property Owner: Margaret Jamison Landmark or District Designation: Chapin Park Local and National Register Historic District Rating: Contributing DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: A two storey house built upon an irregular plan with a brick foundation. The style is noted in the survey as Dormer Front Bungalow and on the survey card as Period Revival/Shingle Style. The roof is a steep pitched side gable with gabled front dormer having cornice returns, all finished with asphalt shingles. Walls are wood shingle. A full width front porch is covered by an extension of the main roof supported by brick piers with a small cross design at the capital. There is a brick railing with stone caps. According to the 1987 survey card, windows are 1/1 wood double hung with molded entablatures with a large picture window in front, although most windows are boarded for protection and this cannot be confirmed. There are two brick chimneys. The house is located on a spacious side with a hedgerow around the house and a large gambrel roofed garage in rear, also wood shingle walls. ALTERATIONS: This house is as it was originally built and remodeled in 1915. According to the 1987 survey card, aluminum storm windows are installed. APPLICATION ITEMS: Demolition of house and garage. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: HPC Staff has been engaged with Department of Community Investment Staff and Code Enforcement Staff regarding the plan to demolish this property. See below for Exterior Code Violations. HPC Staff has made a site visit including interior observations with the owner of the property. See below for report. Through Staff research and 4 study of this property, it is not clear what the determining reason is to demolish this property. It is vacant but not abandoned. Recently the owner paid the tax bill, paid a vacant property registration fee, and has entertained the idea of selling the property. Staff is not in agreement with an August 12, 2013 violation list as it appears to have been surveyed only from the exterior (interior photos taken March 3, 2015 during asbestos testing) so it is not clear how several of the violations have been determined, including structural members and doors. There is no question that the property exemplifies deterioration from neglect, however, there is nothing convincing that the property poses a threat to the public safety, nor is it deteriorated beyond repair. Minimum Maintenance Standards cite that all Landmarks and all contributing structures located in an historic district shall be preserved from decay and deterioration, and shall be maintained in good repair and kept structurally sound. Historic Preservation Commission intends to work in partnership with Code Enforcement and Building Department to enforce these standards. An August 12, 2013 Code Enforcement, Exterior Code List cites the following violations: 1. Accessories, such as garages, sheds, fences and retaining walls are not maintained in good repair 2. Wood and metal surfaces, such as windows, doors, frames, siding, overhang and porches have peeling, flaking and chipped paint. 3. Structural members are deteriorated and no longer capable of safely supporting imposed dead and live loads. 4. Walls (siding) have holes, breaks, loose or rotting materials; and are no longer maintained weatherproof or properly surfaced coated. 5. Handrails and guards rails are mission or are not firmly fastened, and are no longer capable of supporting imposed loads. 6. Windows, door and frames are not weathertight. 7. Glazing materials (window and door glass) is cracked or broken. 8. Screens are missing and/or torn from openings. There are no approved, tight fitting screens supplied for all openings utilized for ventilation. 9. Doors and door hardware are not maintained in good condition. Locks no longer tightly secure the door. 10. Basement hatchways are not maintained to prevent the entrance of rats, rain and surface drainage. Comment: Inconclusive. 11. Operable basement windows are not supplied with rat proof shields, storm windows, or other approved rat protection. Comment: Inconclusive. An August 9, 2014 Code Enforcement, Order to Comply and Notice of Continuous Enforcement Hearing orders the following: Demolition of multi -unit. Report from Preservation Specialist site meeting with owner, Margaret Jamison August 27, 2014: On 27 August 2014, I met with Margaret Jameson at 315 W Madison at 10 am. She allowed me to remove the boarding from the rear door and enter the house. There is evidence of where someone had gotten into the house and had squatted. There is garbage mainly on the first level and evidence that animals had gotten inside and had soiled in certain spots. I went to the attic and even though it was raining, the deck was dry and no roof leaks were visible. The owner informed me that the shingles were still under warranty. She also informed me that no one, outside of whomever broke in, had occupied the house for almost 10 years. She informed me that she had the electric, gas, and water meters removed years ago as well. I noticed only a few broken windows as she had hired someone to board them up after experiencing the break-in. I walked the entire house and noticed only a definite need to have the clutter removed in order to make a better description of the condition of the floors, etc. I did not notice and bowing, dips, or anything out of square. Upon entering the basement, I saw no evidence of any water damage or any structural damage in the foundation. The large "octopus" heating system looked almost new. I asked the owner about the system and she informed me that the system was installed just before it was all boarded up and locked down. I walked the outside perimeter of the house and garage and noticed no structural concerns that were visible to the naked eye on either. Fortunately, most of the windows and doors were boarded over before any damage could be done to them. The owner also informed me that to her knowledge no one from code has ever been inside the structure. Steve Szaday Preservation Specialist. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: V.GENERAL A. Buildings in the district should not be demolished except where a building poses a threat to the public safety, and demolition is the only alternative. Documentation of interior and exterior features of the original buildings, especially homes rated as historically significant, is encouraged. Measured drawings and photographs may be submitted to the Historic Preservation Commission for safekeeping and future reference. B. A Certificate of Appropriateness is required before moving any building or structure. The moving of a building within, out of or into the district is discouraged; however, moving is preferred to demolition. Buildings incompatible with existing structures in the historic district shall be prohibited. C. Any rehabilitation work shall not be such as to change a building to a style dated previous to its original style. D. In planning rehabilitation projects, an architect or contractor experienced in preservation should be consulted. E. There shall be a liaison committee consisting of five (5) property owners in the district. The committee's responsibility will be to work with the residents of the district and the Historic Preservation Commission (See Appendix D). F. All guidelines will be reviewed and updated, on the recommendation of the liaison committee, at least every five years. G. In the case of structures located within the district which are designated individually as Landmarks, the most restrictive guidelines shall apply. H. Existing easements and codicils in property owners' abstracts shall remain in effect. I. There is excepted from the general provisions of paragraph A and B of Section V. General, a partial exception for the future property acquisitions and uses by Temple Beth -El, 305 W. Madison Street, South Bend, Indiana. Temple Beth -El is currently located on the east half of the block bordered by Madison, Lafayette, Marion and William streets. The west half of this block is 5 within the confines of the Chapin Park Local Historic District. Temple Beth -El currently owns, through a trust, a lot in the west half of this block and may acquire in the future other lots in the west half of this block for the purposes of additional buildings, grounds or parking for expansion of its campus. Temple Beth -El and its trusts shall maintain any structures or property in the west half of aforesaid blocks consistent with these guidelines unless and until Temple Beth -EI decides to demolish any structures or buildings. In the event that Temple Beth -El wishes to use such land in the west half of the block for Temple purposes, it shall notify the Historic Preservation Commission and seek a Certificate of Appropriateness for the removal of any buildings or structures in the designated area. Such Certificates of Appropriateness will not be denied nor unreasonably delayed if Temple Beth -El follows the demolition or removal procedures set forth in this paragraph. Upon grant of said Certificate of Appropriateness by Historic Preservation Commission, Temple Beth -El may demolish or provide for removal of said buildings. Temple Beth -El may demolish the structure(s) and clear the land, provided that first the structures, be offered for sale and relocation, and publicly advertised at a price of One Dollar ($1.00) with the relocation expenses to be bome by the buyer. The structure shall be offered for sale and relocation for a period of not less than one hundred eighty (180) days. This time period may be extended by up to an additional sixty days (60) at the request of the Historic Preservation Commission or the Chapin Park Neighborhood Association Board. This paragraph shall not constitute a waiver of any of the zoning or building code sections of the South Bend Municipal Code applicable to these properties. This waiver will only apply to Temple Beth -El while it owns the property. This waiver does not apply to any other properties in the district. VI. ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES Enforcement of the preservation guidelines and standards for the historic district is made possible in the Zoning Ordinance of the City of South Bend, ordinance No. 5565-73, as amended and the Historic Preservation Commission's Preservation Plan. The Historic Preservation Commission may petition the Building Commissioner to use the legal means available to him/her to force the maintenance and/or repair of any building or structure within the historic district in accordance with the intent of this ordinance. 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. 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 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). The Historic Preservation Commission will accept applications for Certificate of Appropriateness only from the property owner. 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. Where the Historic Preservation Commission deems it necessary, the commission may petition the Common Council for a temporary delay in the issuance of the required permit(s) for proposed construction, reconstruction, alteration, demolition or moving for the purpose of preparing an historic preservation plan for a building or district. Such a request shall be for a specified period of time. In no case may the delay granted by the Common Council exceed one (1) year, but the Commission may petition the Common Council for a continuance of any such delay in accordance with the same procedure as for the initial petition. 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. VII. MINIMUM MAINTENANCE STANDARDS All Landmarks and all contributing structures located in an historic district shall be preserved from decay and deterioration, and shall be maintained in good repair and kept structurally sound. The owner or other person having charge or control of Landmarks and property in an historic district shall not allow or permit deterioration from defects or conditions which, in the judgment of the commission, produce a detrimental effect on the character of the district as a whole or the life and character of the Landmark, structure or property in question, including but not limited to: A. Deterioration of exterior walls or other vertical supports causing conditions such as splitting, leaning, buckling, crumbling, visible cracking or similar conditions; B. Deterioration of roofs and other horizontal members causing conditions such as sagging, splitting, buckling, crumbling, holes, missing shingles or similar conditions; C. Deterioration of external chimneys causing such conditions as listing, settling, bulging, crumbling, holes, loose or missing materials or similar conditions; D. The deterioration or crumbling of exterior plasters or mortar; E. The ineffective waterproofing of exterior walls, roofs and foundations, including broken windows and doors; F. The peeling of paint, rotting, holes and other forms of decay; G. The lack of maintenance of surrounding environments such as fences, gates, sidewalks, steps, signs, accessory structures and landscaping; H. The deterioration of any feature so as to create, or permit the creation of, any hazardous or unsafe condition or conditions. The commission shall give notice to the owner or person in charge of the structure, by certified or registered mail, of each specific instance of failure to maintain or repair. A copy of such notice shall be sent to the Code Enforcement Department. The owner or person in charge of such structure shall have twenty (20) days to respond in writing by identifying specifically the corrective or remedial steps to be taken. A Certificate of Appropriateness shall not be required for such repair unless such repair results in a change in the design, form, proportion, mass, configuration, building material, texture, color, location or external R appearance of any structure or part thereof. In the latter circumstance, a Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required (HPC Policy; adopted 12-16-91) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: There is insufficient evidence to show that this structure, in its current condition, poses a threat to public safety or that demolition is warranted. The building's condition and structural integrity appear sound. Staff recommends continuous enforcement of the preservation guidelines and standards for the historic district under Zoning Ordinance of the City of South Bend, ordinance No. 5565-73 and that the City use the legal means available to force the maintenance and/or repair of any building or structure within the historic district in accordance with the intent of this ordinance. Elicia Feasel, Deputy Director On a motion by Mike Voll with a second by Tom Gordon to deny application as presented. Vote: 5 — 0 unanimous. Mike Voll — I believe this house is structurally sound and viable and should remain standing for the time being with hopes that a new owner would show up sometime soon. Tom Gordon —I don't think that the house is to that point yet and some additional time should be taken to try to move the house into someone that wants to repair and keep the house. Tim Klusczinski — It seems that the house does not have the criteria listed to become a public hazard at this point. I see a number of opportunities that Code Enforcement has failed in trying to enforce the minimum maintenance standards for this particular house. I think it would be a detriment to the Chapin Park Historic District and it would be a misuse of tax monies that could be spent in other places. Brandon Anderson — The rating on this building is contributing and I believe it still contributes to this neighborhood and that it does have its architectural and structural integrity to continue to contribute. I also agree with the chairman of our Commission that there needs to be further follow up; we should not allow someone to dictate how we are running operations in the city, further we should be able to go to them and say that these are the charges that are brought against this property therefore you pay or you lose your property, not how can we support you take down your house. I do believe in 1,000 houses in 1,000 days and what we are doing to move the City of South Bend forward, however, I do not think that this is an appropriate example of that. Elizabeth Hertel — It is vacant and has an owner that lives nearby. It is historically significant to the neighborhood and is beautiful, just needs a new owner and some tender loving care. COA#2015-0303A Denied. 5. 1631 Lincoln Way West COA#2015-0303B Local Landmark Representation by Stanley J. Molenda, City of South Bend Code Enforcement STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: 4 March 2015 Application Number: 2015-0303B Property Location: 1631 Lincoln Way West Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Free Classic/ I 907Nernacular Property Owner: Landmark or District Designation: Local Landmark Rating: Notable DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: This house is a two-storey foursquare type constructed entirely in split -rock faced concrete block with a pyramidal roof which features an attic gable to the front and east sides. These gable walls are finished in stucco/half timber effect. A one storey covered front porch which is also constructed in the split -faced block including the porch knee -wall and piers which support Tuscan columns. ALTERATIONS: COAs issued in 1998 indicate that replacement windows were approved for all windows, the rear porch was enclosed and the steps restored to the east side of the porch; a new roof and gutter system was also approved. The remaining windows appear to be replacements. APPLICATION ITEMS: Demolition of House and Garage DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT. Demolish the house and garage. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: D. Demolition Historic landmarks shall not be demolished. When a landmark poses a threat to the public safety, and demolition is the only alternative, documentation by way of photographs, measured drawings, or other descriptive methods should a make of both the exterior and interior of the landmark. The person or agency responsible for demolition of the landmark shall be responsible for this documentation. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This particular house was on Code's list for demolition in 1996. HPC petitioned the Common Council to Landmark the Building in 1997 changing its designation from Contributing to Notable. It was purchased and for several years two owners made improvements to the property. It has been off and on Code's Listings for various violations and demolition since 2002 and was sold in a tar sale. It is not known if the purchaser ever took possession of the property or the deed. It is known that he does not respond to correspondence. The ultimate catastrophe to befall this structure was when the South Bend Fire Department set interior fires and used it as a training site for 6-7 months in 2013-2014. That practice was discontinued at HPC's request and the house boarded up again after meeting in May 2014 with Code Director. The attorney's for Code and HPC were supposed to meet and craft a policy/protocol to assure that an HPC designated property does not appear on a list for fire training.HPC Staff has not seen this policy due to personnel changes in Code and in City Legal. Environmental Reviews (106) were submitted for HPC signature in 2013 for demolition which HPC Staff did not process. The house was broken into again via unsecured windows 2014-2015. It is unlikely that anyone will purchase or rescue this property because of its extensive damage, its location and large tar lien. Staff recommends approval of the demolition. Prepared by C. D. Hostetler, Director On a motion by Brandon Anderson with a second by Mike Voll to approve application as presented. Vote: 3 —1-1 abstention. Tim Klusczinski — I don't believe this building possesses the necessary criteria for a loss of sound structure integrity to warrant demolition and it has fallen under a number of unfortunate events but I don't believe right now in keeping a precedent for demolitions that I could in good conscience approve this. COA#2015-0303B Approved. B. NATIONAL REGISTER NOMINATION — None. III. HEARING OF VISITORS — Chris Chockley and Roger Nawrot regarding Leeper Park and the Bartlett Street Roundabout. IV.
