STAFF REPORT
CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
Date: 11 January 2016
Application Number: 2016-0111A
Property Location: 539 Riverside Drive
Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Free Classic/1903/Hammond & Whitcomb
Property Owner: Troy Hanyzewski
Landmark or District Designation: River Bend LHD
Rating: Contributing
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: The house is a Free Classic, four-square plan, two stories built
in 1903 by real estate developers Hammond and Whitcomb that is raised above street level. The foundation is
raised brick; the siding is brick on the 1St storey, wood clapboard on the 2nd storey with a flared string course
and wood shingle on the 31. The roof is a hip with an asymmetrical gabled roof dormer and is covered with
asphalt shingles. The windows are 1/1 and 3/1 double hung with aluminum storms. A front porch has a
hipped roof, square wood supports, and concrete decking and wing walls. There is a wood 2nd storey deck in
the rear with a small shed roof addition underneath.
ALTERATIONS: A complete tear -off and re -roof with asphalt shingles, ice shield, gutters and downspouts
was completed with COA#2008-0115. Asphalt siding was removed with COA#2013-0805A and correction to
the size of the front entry storm door. The second storey wood deck structure and stairs in the rear was added
to accommodate an upstairs rental unit and has been replaced in-kind. Aluminum storm windows are
installed. COA #2015-1207 approved installation of new in-kind aluminum storm windows; a new exterior 1st
storey treated lumber deck with rail in rear to fit directly underneath a 2nd storey deck; install vinyl siding with
a 4" reveal to 2nd storey, retaining the flare and trim profiles; install vinyl siding with a cedar shake pattern to
3`d storey.
APPLICATION ITEMS: Windows see attach sheet.
After further investigation of the windows at 539 Riverside Drive, I have found that several sills and side
boards that are unrepairable. The aluminum storm framework that was left without storms have created
pockets where water collected and allowed'that water to enter the house around the rough in framing. Two of
the windows have had replacement sashes that do not fit the frames. Several sashes have Plexiglas instead of
glass and all of the ground level windows that are in brick had the outside trim work removed when the siding
was removed. This lack of outside trim has allowed even more elements to enter behind the walls. We had to
go down to stud to remove the damaged plaster/lath.
I got quotes for just sashes and after pricing new windows, although it is going to cost me more, I think that it
will be better to just install new in rebuilt frames. I'm applying to replace all the 21 windows with Anderson
200 Series. These are vinyl -clad wood windows all double hung no pattern except the fixed dining room
which is fixed and will get a grille to match the exiting. There are several houses surrounding this house that
have vinyl replacement windows that are nowhere near the quality of the Anderson 200. It will be will worth
it to have them look like the original rather than a replacement window r a storm window over something that
will not function the way it should.
Thank you, Troy Hanyzewski
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Last month HPC approved several agenda items (see
Alterations). Owner originally planned to apply to replace the windows but upon inspection by HPC
Preservation Specialist, owner decided to restore original windows and replace only the storm windows.
However, upon performing the interior demolition and rehabilitation work, owner discovered that the original
windows seem to be more damaged than they had originally appeared. After the asphalt siding removal by 1 11
Source Bank in 2013, exterior trim was either removed or did not exist and was not replaced and has enabled
water to enter through the windows, becoming evident upon interior demolition work of removing the plaster.
Owner proposes 21 new Anderson 200 vinyl clad windows in the same pattern as existing windows, mostly
1/1 double hung but with four 3/1 double hung in the 1' storey dining room windows.
PRESERVATION SPECIALIST REPORT:
Today I met the owner of 539 Riverside Dr at the property at 12:30pm. Earlier this morning at
8:30am Troy entered the HPC Office to complete the application he had started the evening before. He had
expressed a desire to replace the windows at the property with Anderson Series 200. He had expressed his
concerns about being able to repair the existing windows after further investigation by way of removing some
of the plaster and trim work. He suggests that the trimwork/tracks from the existing exterior storms had
created a channel for water to collect and enter the house.
I entered the ground floor of the property where all of the interior trim and several of the plaster walls
had been removed. I noticed right away the rough in framework of the lower level had significant
deterioration. I also noticed and photographed the buckling and blistering of the plaster underneath the
windows as well as the drip trails (water marks) that were still visible where the floor trim had been removed.
I photographed each window paying particular attention to the framework and below. It is obvious to
me that water has been entering and running down the interior through the plaster lath. Upon further
inspection I noticed that in fact the exterior trim was missing as the owner had indicated in his application.
This is part of the way in which elements are entering the structure. The windows on the main floor are
framed into the brick and they appear to be the worse off. In several locations, the framework is rotted away.
The upstairs windows have some of the same water marks and blistering in the plaster. Only one area was
down to stud and the wood was wet to the touch on the inside. Although six of the window sashes upstairs
are structural sound, they are painted shut and I was unable to see the sills and rails. The plaster is still intact
on those and the rough in frame work is unable to be inspected. It is noteworthy that 4 panes of glass have
been replaced with plexi -glass. This includes the large sashes on the main floor.
The windows on the first floor will have to be removed and the rough in framework replaced where
necessary as well as the jambs and sills replaced as well. Currently they are too wet to determine their
structural integrity. There are 11 windows on the ground level. There are four (4) double hung 3 over 1 grill
pattern, six (6) 1 over 1, and one picture window without grills. The second floor has ten (10) double -hung 1
over 1.

STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES:
II. EXISTING STRUCTURES
C. WINDOWS AND DOORS
Window and door frames are in most cases wood. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels. In some cases where
synthetic siding has been applied, window trim has been covered. Many structures in the district have aluminum storm
windows. Some houses retain wood framed storm windows.
Required
Original windows and doors including sash, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods and hardware shall
be retained or when deteriorated beyond repair, replaced with units and trim resembling the original.
Recommended
Wood frame storm windows and doors, painted to match the original, should be used but should not
damage existing frames. If new sash and doors are used, the existing or original materials, design, and hardware should
be used. When metal storm doors are used, they should be painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When
awnings are used they should be of canvas material.
Prohibited
Original doors, windows, and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and reused in place. New
window and door openings which would alter the scale and proportion of the building should not be introduced.
Inappropriate new window and door features, such as aluminum and insulating glass combinations that require removal
of the original windows and doors, shall not be installed.
Not Recommended
Awnings, hoods or fake shutters made of metal, vinyl or fiber glass should not be used if they would detract from the
existing character or appearance of the building.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed project.

Re: . Local Landmark designation for 803 W. Washington
Dear Mr. Klusczinski,
We are writing today seeking Local Landmark designation for 803 W. Washington. Known historically
as the William Kizer House, the outstanding Romanesque style home is a community and neighborhood
landmark and the home of one of South Bend's leading businessmen of his time. Indiana Landmarks
supports the work of historic preservation commissions around the State as a tool for local communities
to promote and protect their special places. We can think of no more worthy property for designation
than the Kizer House and no better commission for such oversight than that Historic Preservation
Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County.
We are interested in moving the designation through at the earliest convenience of the Commission. We
are pleased to provide copies of our research that has been completed on the property or architectural
background information as is helpful. Thank you for prompt attention to our request. We look forward to
working with you, the members of the Commission and your staff to complete this important honor.
Sincerely,
WX

A. CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
1. 539 Riverside Drive COA#2015-1207 River Bend
Representation by Troy Hanyzewski, owner
Discrepancy on 3rd storey description — there are actually hundreds of holes penetrating
through the cedar shake from the previous siding installation; it is not a repairable siding.
Steve Szaday, HPC Preservation Specialist, question clarifying that 31 story vinyl shake
was left over from a previous job.
Tom Anderson, 535 Riverside Drive, anxious to see something happen to this house in
the neighborhood as one of the last remaining to be occupied and has been vacant for
awhile and multi -family since approximately 2003. As neighbors, they would like to see
a compromise and for something to be worked out tonight.
STAFF REPORT
CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
Date: 7 December 2015
Application Number: 2015-1207
Property Location: 539 Riverside Drive
Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Free Classic/1903/Hammond & Whitcomb
Property Owner: Troy Hanyzewski
Landmark or District Designation: River Bend LHD
Rating: Contributing
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: The house is a Free Classic, four-square plan, two stories built in 1903 by real estate
developers Hammond and Whitcomb that is raised above street level. The foundation is raised brick; the siding is brick on the 1St
storey, wood clapboard on the 2nd storey with a flared string course and wood shingle on the 3rd. The roof is a hip with an
asymmetrical gabled roof dormer and is covered with asphalt shingles. The windows are 1/1 and 3/1 double hung with aluminum
storms. A front porch has a hipped roof, square wood supports, and concrete decking and wing walls. There is a wood 2❑d storey
deck in the rear with a small shed roof addition underneath.
ALTERATIONS: A complete tear -off and re -roof with asphalt shingles, ice shield, gutters and downspouts was completed with
COA#2008-0115. Asphalt siding was removed with COA#2013-0805A and correction to the size of the front entry storm door.
The second storey wood deck structure and stairs in the rear was added to accommodate an upstairs rental unit and has been
replaced in-kind. Aluminum storm windows are installed.
APPLICATION ITEMS: A. Replace existing aluminum storm with new. B. Addition of exterior deck. C. Reside upper portion
with historical cedar shake look (vinyl siding) second level with 4" vinyl.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: New owner originally proposed to replace the original windows but has updated the
request to replace only the existing aluminum windows, in-kind; add an exterior deck in the rear with similar style as new 211
storey deck; and add new vinyl siding to the upper stories to resemble the look of the cedar shake and wood clapboard. A. Owner
will be rehabilitating the original wood double hung windows and proposes to install the new storm windows to replace the
existing which are deteriorated and missing most of the glass. B. Owner proposes a new deck on the ground level in the rear that
will fit directly underneath the new 2nd storey deck posts and will connect to a freestanding existing concrete stair (evidence that
a landing existed here at one point). Material will be treated lumber. A rail will be installed on three sides in the same style as the
upper deck. C. The asphalt siding removal by 1St Source Bank in 2013 revealed the original siding as brick 1St, wood clapboard
2nd and cedar shake 31d. Minor repairs were made at that time including improper flashing and a fresh coat of interior paint to the
siding. The existing siding is in need of major repairs as can be seen in the photographs. Owner has provided samples of the
proposed vinyl siding. The 2nd storey to show a 4" reveal, similar to the existing clapboard and the 31 storey to resemble cedar
shake but in a slightly different pattern than the existing saw tooth pattern.
PRESERVATION SPECIALIST REPORT (EDITED): Upon inspection the windows are not deteriorated beyond repair as
suggested by the standards and guidelines. Rather, there needs to be some new glazing applied and some new ropes installed. A
number of the upper sashes are painted in place but are not fully closed. There are aluminum track storm windows on the house,
but many of the sashes are missing. The siding on the second floor and the dormer reveals are the areas that the owner would like
to add insulating house wrap and vinyl siding. The second floor clap -board has a varying 3 %i to 4" reveal. When the mastic
siding was removed from this house in 2013, the contractor failed to do the necessary repairs to the clap -board as well as the
transitional flashing and trim work. They merely painted the poor areas to match including the flashing and failed trim work. As a
result, almost all four corners have sustained damage and rot where the mitered boards meet. There are also areas where flashing
ran underneath the old mastic siding now remains and actually collects water and allows it to run under the clap -board or even
roofing material instead. I entered the third floor attic and noticed daylight through many of the loose and damaged cedar shake.
Although the shake itself was in a repairable condition, the transitions are loose, rotted, and would need to be replaced. The
owner expressed a desire to replace both levels as the new siding would be able to transition in a way that the elements would
flow more fluidly over it. The shakes would have to be removed and reinstalled with new wood transitional trim work that would
consist of several "stepping" levels of trim. The rear of the house has a cement steps/landing from a since removed lean-to
storage area and a set of cement steps at rear door. The owner proposes to butt up to the existing steps/landing and continue with
a wood deck that will sit flush in height and sit in between the support posts of the second level deck and the house. He also
suggests matching the upper deck by using the same lumber and railings on the lower deck. The current stairs/landings lack
handrails and railings which the owner plans to rectify as part of the new deck.
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES:
II. EXISTING STRUCTURES
A. BUILDING MATERIALS
Original exterior wall materials in the District include brick, stucco, clapboard, wood shingles and masonry block. In some
instances, vinyl or aluminum siding has been applied over the original material.
Required
Original exterior building materials shall be retained. Deterioration of wood materials shall be prevented through repair, cleaning
and painting. The existing architectural detail around windows, porches, doors and eaves should be retained or replaced by
replicas of the same design and materials when deteriorated beyond repair. Masonry including brick and stucco shall be cleaned
only when necessary to halt deterioration or to remove stains, and shall be done with a method acceptable for the preservation of
the surface: i.e. low pressure water and soft natural bristle brushes. When repairing stucco, only appropriate stucco mixture shall
be used.
Recommended
Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored. Metal or vinyl may be used as an alternative to
maintaining or replacing the original surface material when it resembles the original surface material. When used over wood
surfaces, this siding should be the same size and style as the original wood. Every effort should be made to retain the original
trim around windows, doors, cornices, gables, eaves and other architectural features. Ample ventilation must be afforded the
structure when aluminum or vinyl is to be installed in order to prevent increased deterioration of the structure from moisture
and/or insects. Mortar joints should be repointed only when there is evidence of moisture problems or when sufficient mortar is
missing to allow water to stand in the mortar joint. Existing mortar shall be duplicated in composition, color, texture, joint size,
method of application and joint profile.
Prohibited
Wood siding shall not be resurfaced with material such as artificial stone, brick veneer, asbestos or asphalt shingles, which is
inappropriate or was unavailable when the building was constructed. Sandblasting or the use of harsh detergents shall not be used
on masonry or stucco. This method of cleaning erodes the surface material and accelerates deterioration.
Not Recommended
Waterproof or water repellent coatings or surface consolidation treatments should not be used on masonry surfaces unless
required to solve a specific problem that has been studied and identified. Coatings are frequently unnecessary and expensive, and
can accelerate deterioration of the masonry. Mortar joints which do not need repointing should not be. Repointing should not be
done with mortar of high Portland cement content, which can often create a bond that is stronger than the building materials. This
can cause deterioration as a result of the differing porosity of the material and the mortar — the end result being serious damage to
adjacent brick. Paint should not be removed from masonry surfaces indiscriminately.
C. WINDOWS AND DOORS
2
Window and door frames are in most cases wood. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels. In some cases where
synthetic siding has been applied, window trim has been covered. Many structures in the district have aluminum storm windows.
Some houses retain wood framed storm windows.
Required
Original windows and doors including sash, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods and hardware shall be
retained or when deteriorated beyond repair, replaced with units and trim resembling the original.
Recommended
Wood frame storm windows and doors, painted to match the original, should be used but should not damage existing frames. If
new sash and doors are used, the existing or original materials, design, and hardware should be used. When metal storm doors are
used, they should be painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used they should be of canvas material.
Prohibited
Original doors, windows, and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and reused in place. New window and
door openings which would alter the scale and proportion of the building should not be introduced. Inappropriate new window
and door features, such as aluminum and insulating glass combinations that require removal of the original windows and doors,
shall not be installed.
Not Recommended
Awnings, hoods or fake shutters made of metal, vinyl or fiber glass should not be used if they would detract from the existing
character or appearance of the building.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of storm windows, rear deck and 2nd storey siding. Staff does not
recommend approval of 31d storey residing because the original material does not appear to be deteriorated beyond repair;
additionally, the proposed replacement does not resemble the original pattern.
Elicia Feasel
Interim Director
On a motion by Brandon Anderson with a second by Mike Voll to approve application as
presented.
Vote: 3 — 2.
Tom Gordon — 21 floor has a definite need to be redone. 3`d floor, I understand the financial
implications of taking off that shake and having to put on new but I don't feel that this example of
vinyl to replicate shake is close enough to what is on the house now.
Tim Klusczinski — Voted in favor of the denial because I'm willing to concede a difference in
material for this specific property as an exception but in keeping with the standards and
guidelines I think it falls terribly short because of the stylistic differences proposed.
COA#2015-1207 Approved. Pick up at office.

STAFF REPORT
CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
Date: 8 December 2015
Application Number: 2015-1208
Property Location: 307 Lamonte
Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: 1921/ Colonial Revival
Property Owner: Bradley Management LLC
Landmark or District Designation: Chapin Park
Rating: Notable
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: This two storey Colonial Revival is set upon a concrete, rectangular foundation.
There are two symmetrical brick chimneys intersecting the gable ends. The first storey is brick while the second storey is stucco
with moulded wood band course between the storeys. The side gable roof has asphalt shingles. There is a small segmental
entrance roof with moulded entablatures and Doric pilasters at the corners. The windows are 8 -light casement windows grouped
in fours on the first storey with soldier lintels. There are 3 -unit casements in the second storey with a pair of 3 -light casements
over the entrance. There are fan lights in the gables.
ALTERATIONS: The casement windows in the second storey are vinyl replacements. The sidelights at the entrance have been
replaced by wood panels. The entrance is secured by plywood. The fan lights in the gables were originally segmented. A wood
frame, vinyl sided garage was added with COA#2014-1201
APPLICATION ITEMS: Replace all windows with Jeld-Wen W-2500 aluminum -clad casement, double -hung, and quarter round
per quote. Replace asphalt shingles with Certainteed architectural dimensional shingles.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The owner has been restoring the house to a single family -dwelling. COA#2014-
1202 approved a re -roof with Certain Teed architectural shingles; the re -roof is currently in process. The COA also approved
replacement of all windows with Anderson 400 Series Casement with Colonial Grid plus quarter round windows. There was a
misunderstanding over the material of the windows — HPC approved aluminum clad as presented when in fact the 400 series is
vinyl clad. Staff notified owner of the mistake and owner has determined the Jeld-Wen W-2500 windows to be an acceptable
replacement option. The current metal casement_ windows are inoperable and not repairable and some have been replaced with
single pane vinyl replacement windows without divided lights. The proposal is to replace all windows throughout the house
including sunroom with a muntin pattern to resemble the originals. The fan lights in the gables will also be replaced with
segmented lights to resemble the originals.
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES:
I. EXISTING STRUCTURES
C. WINDOWS AND DOORS
Window and door frames are in most cases wood and vary depending upon the style of the home. Many are double hung
windows with wood trim and sills. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels. In some cases where aluminum siding has
been applied, the window and door trim has been covered. About half of the structures in the district have aluminum storm
windows; the other half have wood storm windows.
Required
Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods and
hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced with units and trim resembling the original.
Recommended
Wood storm windows and doors painted or finished to match the original should be used but should not damage existing frames.
If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design and hardware should be used. When metal storm
doors are used, they should be painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used, they should be of
canvas material.
Prohibited
Original doors, windows and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and reused in place. New window and
door openings, which would alter the scale and proportion of the building may not be introduced. Inappropriate new window and
door features such as metal, vinyl or fiberglass awnings, hoods or aluminum insulating glass combinations that require removal
of original windows and doors, shall not be installed.
Not Recommended
Fake shutters that would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building should not be used.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION CONIlVIISSION
PRESERVATION SPECIALIST REPORT
January 25, 2016
Hello Commission!
As you may imagine we do not have that many COA applications this time of year. Only
the most forward thinking property owners are that prepared for weather -permitting
exterior projects. Instead, my personal focus has been more on the timeline for special
projects such as the bicentennial, tours, and the tool crib in conjunction with Restore
Michiana Workshops. There is also the pressing issue of Minimum Maintenance Surveys
in Local Historic Districts and a revisit to our St Joseph County Landmarks as it has been
three years since MMS have been completed on those.
The Renaissance District (Union Station et al) is also working on documentation of their
renovation process along with monthly guided tours to allow community members to see
first-hand the progress. A guided historical tour of the facility is a part of the tours based
on the script that I originally wrote for the tour. Since I was involved with several tours
over the past 4 years they have requested that I assist with those tours. Although this is a
landmark, I did not feel that my limited hours should be spent on this project. If they
want me to guide the tours, they will have to compensate me as an independent. I only
mention this as there will be some social press mentioning my name and my position for
the commission. I just wanted to be clear that the activity will not come from my hours.
I will continue working on the schedule of events for the year and will make that
information available as it becomes more concrete.
The Studebaker Fountain project is just in its preliminary stages, but I am sure
Commissioner Anderson will be giving updates on that exciting undertaking.
Thank you,
Steve Szaday
