The brick chimney is centrally located. The first story is clapboard and the second story is wood shingles. The roof is gabled with composition shingles. The street -facing side has a second -story portico with wrought iron supports. Openings were originally single -leaf glazed wood. Screens and storms are present on many of the windows, but not all. ALTERATIONS: The second story was added in 1940. A small ground floor addition was added to the rear of the main structure (believed to have been added after 1980). Multiple windows have been replaced on the structure since the most recent Sites and Structures survey. APPLICATION ITEMS: "Repair, install windows due to deteriorated & rotting." DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The Building Department notified the property owner on • February 8`'', 2018 of known violations of the City of South Bend Zoning Ordinance, specifically: The failure to obtain an improvement location permit when one is required by the terms andprovisions of this Ordinance, ,¢21-100(2), specifically the installation of windows without application for permit, or Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) from Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). VIOLATIONREMEDY Acquire COA from HPC and make subsequent application for applicable permits. Applicant seeks retroactive approval for the installation of 2 vinyl 6/6 Jeldwen Builders (V-2500) Series windows in place of previous wooden windows. The subject windows are on the north/northwest side of the second floor of the structure. The original windows were 8/8 wood double hung windows. Both new windows are 36" x 41". SITE VISIT REPORT: Date: March 7, 2018 I met with the homeowner on Monday, March 5 at 2 pm at the property. He allowed me to enter and photograph the windows throughout the house. The structure is oriented so that the front of the house faces Northeast. To better clarify the windows that have been changed and those that still remain or need to be changed, I will do a side by side breakdown. Northeast (front) • first story has a three-part bay window with a transom above. The original storms, center window and transom remain, but the side windows are non -original • second story has a three-part bay window with a curved transom above. The original storms remain for the • side windows, the center window is a fixed pane, and the side windows have been changed to non -original aluminum windows Northwest (richt side if facing front of house) • first story has five double hung vinyl replacement windows with grids 6/6 pattern and one fixed window in the rear addition • second story has two original double hung wood windows with 8/8 pattern and original wood storm windows. Three panes are broken and are heavily painted but have intact ropes on the lower sash, upper • sashes were painted shut. There are also two vinyl double hung replacement windows with 6/6 pattern Southeast (left side if facing; front of house) • first story has one original wood double hung window with 1/1 pattern including original storm that is fastened shut and one vinyl double hung 6/6 pattern window • second story has one original wood double hung window with 1/1 pattern including original storm (this window has had poorly fitting aluminum tension rails installed to replace the weights, this window does not function and sits very loose in jamb) There are three vinyl double hung replacement windows with 6/6 pattern. There is also a small fixed hexagonal window. Southwest (rear) • first story has three original wood double hung windows with original storms and one fixed window in the kitchen addition Overall, the remaining original windows do need repair including re -roping, glazing, and even sill replacement on the northwest side. The southeast side window with the aluminum tension rails may be in repairable condition, but the damage to the jambs may not be repairable. Steve Szaday Preservation Inspector STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES, EDGEWATER PLACE: II. EXISTING STRUCTURES A. BUILDING MATERIALS Required Existing exterior building materials shall be retained. Deterioration of wood materials shall be prevented through repair., cleaning, and painting. [...] C. WINDOWS AND DOORS Window and door frames are in nearly all cases wood. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels; masonry block structures have masonry sills and lintels. In some cases where aluminum siding has been applied window trim has been covered. About half of the • structures in the district have aluminum storm windows, the other half wood storm windows. Required Original windows and doors including sash, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods, and hardware shall be retained or when deteriorated beyond repair, replaced with duplicates of the existing or original. Recommended Wood frame storm windows and doors, painted to match the existing or original, should be used but should not damage existing frames and should be removable in the future. If new sash and doors are used, the existing or original, design, and hardware should be used. When metal storm doors are used, they should be painted anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used they should be of canvas material. Prohibited Existing or original doors, windows, and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and re -used in place. New window and door openings which would alter the scale and proportion of the building should not be introduced. Inappropriate new window and door features such as aluminum insulating glass combinations that require the removal of the original windows and doors shall not be installed. Not Recommended Metal, vinyl, or fiberglass awnings, hoods, and fake shutters that would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building should not be used. IV. SAFETY AND BUILDING CODES A. BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS Required Building code requirements shall be complied with in such a manner that the existing character of the building is preserved. Recommended Local building code officials should be consulted to investigate alternative life safety measures that will preserve the architectural integrity of the structure. Variances for historical properties should be investigated. Prohibited Construction of new stairways and elevators that would alter important architectural features and spaces is prohibited. Not Recommended Fire prevention equipment should not damage the appearance or fabric of the building. VI. ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES • Enforcement of the preservation guidelines for the historic district is made possible in the Zoning Ordinance of South Bend, ordinance No. 5565-73. The Historic Preservation Commission shall issue a Certificate of Appropriateness before any construction, reconstruction, alteration, demolition or moving of any house or structure within the historic district boundaries is commenced (see Appendix A). This ordinance, however, does not prevent the ordinary maintenance and repair of any building or structure which does not involve a change in any exterior feature, nor does it prevent the reconstruction, alteration, demolition, or moving of any building or structure which the • Building Commissioner or other official has determined to be a hazard to public safety. The Historic Preservation Commission will accept applications for Certificate of Appropriateness only from the property owner. Property owners wishing to do or have done any work affecting the exterior of their building or land must apply directly to the Historic Preservation Commission on the form prescribed by the Commission (see Appendix A). The Commission will review the application and either issue a Certificate of Appropriateness or else deny the application, stating in writing the reasons for such a denial. Upon such denial the applicant may appeal to the Common Council. In making its determination, the Historic Preservation Commission, shall consider three factors: first, appropriateness of the proposed work to the preservation of the building and district; second, the detriment to the public welfare if the proposed work is permitted even though it is not deemed appropriate; third, the potential hardship that the denial of the Certificate of Appropriateness would cause the applicant. 0 0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This structure has had repeated modification without Certificate of Appropriateness. Of the original wood double - hung windows, only seven (7) remain and are in varying states of disrepair. Staff recommends the property owner continue conversations with Historic Preservation to determine long-term window rehabilitation / replacement plans in advance of future work. As to the particulars of this application, Staff offers no recommendation. The condition of the original windows may be partially inferred from the photos supplied by the applicant (and compared to the photos taken by the Preservation Inspector), but no definitive condition report is possible to make a favorable recommendation.

The walls are vinyl -siding with a projection of the second story over the first. A molded belt course is under the projection. The roof is hipped, pedimented with a side gable, closed soffit, and molded cornice boards. A central brick stonecap chimney is accompanied by an exterior limestone ceramic flue. The front porch has a concrete block base and pier supports, square wood posts, wood lintel, and a wood balustrade. Two large picture windows with glass transoms are on either side of the front entry door. The remaining windows are 1/1 double -hung with projecting molded entabulature. A hipped garage with 1/1 double hung windows and a boxed eave stands to the south east of the main structure. ALTERATIONS: In April of 1989, a stop -work order was issued by the Building Department because of the installation of vinyl siding over three quarters of the house without permit and without C of A. COA #1989-0403 allowed for the removal of the vinyl siding from the structure. COA #1989-1006 allowed for the installation of vinyl siding on the outside of the house. COA #1992-0724 allowed for re -roofing of the flat portions of the roof, • the installation of exterior signage for business purposes, the replacement of exterior lighting, the installation of an exterior stairway at the rear of the property, the installation of an A/C unit and concealment trellis, and the installation of a fence from the back setback of the lot to the corner of the lot. COA #2011-0509 allowed for a complete tear -off and reroof. APPLICATION ITEMS: "We already installed a fence. Didn't know we needed permits or COA. We need this fence for our dogs since we work 12 hour shifts. A lot of the homes have the same fencing materials." DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Applicant seeks retroactive approval for the installation of 192' of fencing (44' of 6' tall wood privacy fence and 148' of 4' galvanized chain link fence), including a 20' roll gate that crosses the driveway. Installation work was executed by Great Lakes Fencing. The subject property faces Lincoln Way East but abuts Ottawa Court, a narrow road that has additional Historic District properties along it. Existing examples of chain link fencing are found elsewhere within the Lincoln Way East Historic District but may predate the establishment of the district. For example, both 1334 and 1342 Lincoln Way East have chain link fence at the rear of their properties (as indicated by the applicant's attached photograph), but no COA for either installation is retained by the HPC Staff. The property to the south (1522 Ottawa Court) also has chain link fencing, but it is in poor condition and probably predates the district. Various wood fences are also found within the district. SITE VISIT REPORT: N/A • STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES, LINCOLN WAY EAST: (D) GUIDELINE COMPONENTS Statements within the guidelines which specify the requirements and recommendations for the preservation of the characteristic relationships of the various features which are of significance to the appearance of the Local Historic District. "Shall" is defined as an expression of something that is mandatory or must be done. "Should" is defined as an expression of obligation, something that ought to be done but that is open to compromise. L THE ENVIRONMENT A. THE DISTRICT ENVIRONMENT • Required Distinctive existing features such as parks, gardens, streetlights, fences, signs, benches, walkways, streets, alleys and building setbacks shall be retained. New plant materials, fencing, walkways, streetlights, signs and benches shall be compatible with the character of the neighborhood in size, scale, materials and color. The riverfront neighborhood character of the District shall be retained. Recommended Whenever possible, the original features should be restored Plant materials and trees in close proximity to buildings, sidewalks or streets that are causing deterioration to those elements should be removed. If erosion control efforts become necessary to preserve the riverbank, they should involve processes and materials consistent with the natural beauty of the riverbanks. The development of boatlandings, access points, scenic overlooks or terraces should be done in such a way so as to avoid obstructing the view of the river and its banks (refer to Appendix A). When new streetlights are installed, an effort should be made to use reproduction, turn -of -the -century lights. Prohibited Existing relationships of buildings and their environments shall not be destroyed through widening existing streets, changing paving material or by introducing inappropriately located new streets or parking lots incompatible with the character of the neighborhood. Signs, streetlighting, benches, new plant materials, fencing, walkways and paving materials which are out of scale or would alter the relationship of the houses and the river shall be prohibited In erosion control efforts to preserve the riverbank, poured concrete, concrete slabs, concrete buildings or blocks or unsightly materials shall not be used. B. BUILDING SITE, LANDSCAPING AND ACCESSORIES Individual properties in the district are characterized by a house located in the center of a long, narrow lot which extends from Lincolnway to the alley just north of the railroad tracks. The front yards, most of which have sloping embankments to the sidewalk along Lincolnway, are divided by concrete sidewalks to the front porches. A few of the properties have gravel driveways, while most are concrete and some are shared driveways between two lots. All of the properties have trees, many have trimmed shrubbery and hedges. All of the houses conform to a uniform setback line; the buildings in the 1300 block angle to conform to the curve in the street. Required Existing plants, trees, fencing, walkways, streetlights, signs and benches which reflect the properties' history and development shall be retained. Recommended New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in photographs, drawings and newspapers. New site work should be appropriate to existing surrounding site elements in scale, type and appearance. Plant materials in close proximity to the building that are causing deterioration to the building's historic fabric should be removed. • Prohibited No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing old plants, trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings and other elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and development. Front yard areas shall not be transformed into parking lots, paved, blacktopped or fenced VI. ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES Enforcement of the preservation guidelines for the historic district is made possible in the Zoning Ordinance of South Bend, ordinance No. 5565-73. The Historic Preservation Commission shall issue a Certificate of Appropriateness before commencement of any construction, reconstruction, alteration, demolition or moving of any house or structure within the historic district boundaries (see Appendix A). This ordinance, however, does not prevent the ordinary maintenance and repair of any building or structure which does not involve a change in any exterior feature, nor does it prevent the reconstruction, alteration, demolition or moving of any building or structure which the Building Commissioner or other official has determined to be a hazard to public safety. The Historic Preservation Commission will accept applications for Certificates of Appropriateness only from the property owner. Property owners wishing to do, or have done, any work affecting the exterior of their building or land must apply directly to the Historic Preservation Commission on the form prescribed by the Commission (see Appendix A). The Commission will review the application and either issue a Certificate of Appropriateness or else deny the application, stating in writing the reasons for such denial. Upon such denial, the applicant may appeal to the Common Council. In making its determination, the Historic Preservation Commission shall consider three factors: first, appropriateness of the proposed work to the preservation of the building and district; second, the detriment to the public welfare if the proposed work is permitted even though it is not deemed appropriate; third, the potential hardship that the denial of the Certificate of Appropriateness would cause the applicant. 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 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. 40 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Unlike other Local Historic Districts, chain link fences are not explicitly isprohibited in the Standards and Guidelines for the Lincoln Way East Historic District, and existing examples may be found in the vicinity of the applicant's property. The Standards and Guidelines require that new fences shall be compatible with the character of the neighborhood in size, scale, materials and color. Staff recommends approval of this retroactive application. • 0 Written by Adam Toering Historic Preservation Specialist Approved by Elicia Feasel Historic Preservation Administrator Off r�xp`� •� d� i : gra i Y3 "'�`..c� , W "'2S# ✓1wd.I`�'f��,.•7 3 5 "MSF am s��► -wY a -- � ar •' Lis ° .. - �� --,•___",�"'"""""..,,..,�� • ' ��f .•..Y �. ae O hot lot a {{.. , ,%`',i ... � •: ,.�,..t'WTI W ,. e�`r`.'t ..

APPLICATION ITEMS: "See attached." DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Applicant seeks approval for the following exterior restoration projects on the South (street -facing) portion of the structure, as well as the garage: 1. Exterior a. Remove the existing aluminum siding on the front facade — the original clapboard and existing wood details will be salvaged where possible, new western red cedar will be replaced in all locations as needed; b. Restore the pilasters on the fagade (as was done on the West, North, and East sides in 2017); c. Install a trellis along the front fagade from the front porch between the first and second stories as an homage to the historical full-length porch (see attached image). d. Continue the window rehabilitation work initiated in the previous COA on the front fagade; 2. Porch a. Restore the wood front porch floor on the first and second stories; b. Restore the existing column drums (six large and four small) and restore/rehabilitate/replace their bases; • c. Replace the existing Ionic capitals with new polystone composite manufactured by Chadsworth Columns; 3. Roof a. Replace K -style gutters with dark bronze half -round gutters and round downspouts on both the main structure and garage; b. Replace the roof on the main structure and garage with a synthetic slate manufactured by EcoStar in a color based upon historical examples of slate from this area. • SITE VISIT REPORT: On April 9"', 2018, Historic Preservation Inspector Steve Szaday and Historic Preservation Specialist Adam Toering visited the property in the company of the applicant to 1) assess the condition of the front porch; 2) compare the proposed replacement capitals with the originals in situ; and 3) follow-up on the work completed in accordance with COA #2016-0705. Concerns and solutions were discussed regarding the existing porch floor, as moisture has caused the paint on the floor and at the base of the pillars to bubble and chip. This has led to the degradation of some of the bases necessitating their replacement. The pillar "barrels" appear to be in very good condition and are properly vented. One pillar exhibits evidence of a previous alteration / modification as a result of the aforementioned water infiltration, but appears to be holding up well. The proposed replacement capitals were seen to be identical in profile and detail when compared to the existing capitals, material aside. The quality of work from the previous COA was found to be excellent. Three windows on the second floor are currently under restoration (two on the east side and one at north side). The condition of the restored wooden siding is excellent, and the property owner expressed that only 15% of the original material had been unusable when the aluminum siding had been removed. The unusable portions had been primarily localized to an area of the house at the northwest corner where the existing gutters had failed. Adam Toering Historic Preservation Specialist STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: H. BASIC STRUCTURAL MATERIALS AND ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES Preferred: Retain and maintain the original exterior building material. Frame Structures: Repair, repaint, and / or clean siding to deter deterioration. Masonry Structures: Tuckpoint brick and stone, repair stucco and repaint trim, stucco and brick (if painted) to deter deterioration. Retain and maintain architectural detail of structures such as wrought iron, tile, brackets, etc., or replace when necessary with similar material in texture, size and appearance. • Permitted: If vinyl or aluminum siding is the only economic solution to a deteriorating frame house, architectural detail must be visually preserved. The siding used should match the original in style, width, and lap as closely as possible. Prohibited: Do not use asbestos or asphalt siding on frame structures. Do not use artificial brick or cast stone siding on brick, masonry, stucco, or frame structures. Do not sandblast or use harsh detergents in cleaning brick, masonry or stucco. III. STRUCTURES A. ROOFS Preferred: Keep the original shape of the roof. Retain the original roofing material. A special effort should be made to do this when the roof in question is of tile, slate, or some other unique material not usually found today. Preserve or replace all architectural features which give the roof its character, such as dormer windows, cupolas, cornices, brackets, chimneys, cresting, weathervanes, and special eaves. Permitted: When necessary to replace roofing material, match the original as closely as possible in size, shape and texture. Prohibited: Do not add, remove, or alter features which will change its character or the architectural character of the house. C. PORCHES AND STEPS WHICH ARE READILY VISIBLE FROM THE STREET Preferred: Retain and maintain porches and steps including hand rails, balusters, columns, brackets, roof decoration, tile, and brick. If porches and / or steps are enclosed for heat conservation or other reasons, it should be done in a manner that does not destroy the architectural nor historical character of the home. Permitted: Replace porches and steps with materials matching the original as closely as possible. A cement porch floor is permitted for the structure on Lot 12. Prohibited: Porches and steps that are appropriate to the style of the house shall not be removed. IV. NEW CONSTRUCTION OR ADDITIONS TO EXISTING STRUCTURES Preferred: Consider the size, scale, roof lines, etc., in the design of a new structure, so that it will be compatible with its adjacent buildings in particular and will blend with the neighborhood in general. New additions to existing structures must be compatible in scale, building materials and textures to the building to which the addition is made. Retain as much of the original structure as possible, so that the addition could be removed without damage to the basic structure and appearance of the building. Prohibited: Do not use asbestos or asphalt siding. Do not use artificial brick or cast stone siding. Do not use glass brick. Structural concrete block may be used only on foundations for new construction or additions. 40 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: • Staff recommends approval of this project as it is in keeping with the West North Shore Drive Standards and Guidelines.

During -the r-estoration process in 2017, the contractor removed the existing aluminum -siding -and found some -of the origi- nal clapboards and pilasters in good condition ontheeast, north and west facades. The scope of the work for this year includes removing the existing aluminum siding on the front facade, replacing the existing capitals on the porch with new matching, period -appropriate Greek Erectheum Ionic capitals, and restoring the pilasters beneath the existing siding. In addition, replacing the k -style -gutters with copper -or dark -bronze -half --round gutters .andround .downspouts, xnstori_ng .the :cornice where needed .and -replacing -the -roof wit h -a. synthetic slate shingle -by Eco Star -as well -as -replacing -the -roof -and -gutters at the -garage -is -planned. Historic photos provide evidence that the original house had a one-story porch that extended the entire width of the home. The initial intent of the homeowners was to re-create this single -story porch, but it was determined that its construction would jeopardize significant trees on the property in the.process. In lieu of extending the porch, the homeowners desire to carry the horizontal cornice -of -the lower _porch -across the facade -in -reference to the -original -design, -with-atrellis to -align with the ,existing -entablature.

Brehmer (Architect) Property Owner: Andrew Caspers and Amanda Shutts Landmark or District Designation: Chapin Park Local Historic District, Ordinance #9574-05; National Register District; Local Landmark, Ordinance #6242-1977. Rating: Outstanding DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/SITE: Fire House #6 is one of the oldest extant fire houses in South Bend. The triangular plot, of which the building is situated, has a long connection to South Bend's history. During the Civil War, the land was used as part of Camp Rose, a training ground for local troops headed to war. The Saint Joseph County Agricultural Society later owned the land and used it as part of their fair grounds. In 1896, the City of South Bend purchased the land to build a "Hose House" on the property, serving the City until it was decommissioned in 1967. The Civic Theatre used the structure as a theatre and workshop for nearly fifty years following. Fire House #6 is a two and a half story, brick structure, with rectangular plan and hip and gabled roof with dormer. There is a hose tower protruding from the roof at the rear. The front first story features the main equipment door, a thin, curved corrugated metal canopy supported by cast iron brackets designed with a sun and scroll motif. Brick pilasters with stone capitals support a false brick arch at second story. Windows are wood, 1/1 with some fixed in • attic and hose tower. Centered between two second story windows is a large stone placard with No. 6 in relief. ALTERATIONS: COA # 1985-0819 permitted the cleaning of bricks, replace roof ventilator, windows, and rear entrydoor. COA #1987-1019 permitted the replacement of the entrance door. COA #1988-1207 permitted the installation of curbing at the Portage -Lindsey intersection as per Project no. MG -000-C Fed Rd. Region 5. COA # 1989-0208 permitted the installation of security lights with wiring concealed by the eave material and covered in metal conduit painted to match the structure. COA 41989-0602 permitted the removal of old roofing and re -roofing with Owens Corning 3 -tab 20 -year shingles. COA #1993-1118 permitted the repair of holes and the straightening of the edges of the canopy. COA#1994-1215 permitted the grading of the drive and in-kind replacement of limestone base. COA 41995-1025 permitted the removal and replacement of a dead tree. COA #1999-0713 permitted the installation of a pole, siren, and related electrical/radio parts all contained /attached to the pole on Lindsey between Portage Avenue and Leland Avenue. COA #2003-1031A permitted the installation of landscape lighting around the building, a new sign in the lawn, replacement of the front garage door sign, and re -glazing of the scheduling boards on the windows flanking the garage door. COA #2003-1031B permitted the removal of loose paint and dirt from the metal awning with water and/or Conklin's Rust -Off, caulking all seams on top of awning, priming of the awning and the structural braces, and a final coat of paint on the awning. COA #2017- 1002G permitted masonry repair (in-kind) using Glen Gery Molded Series '53 -DD Spec Sand' or `250-M'. Replace roof (in-kind), with Certainteed Highland Slate `black granite'; replacement of the house tower wall material with Petersen Aluminum `matte black', replacement of the hose tower windows (in-kind) with wood windows of the same size and configuration; install new gutters, downspouts, and flashing of copper. APPLICATION ITEMS: See attached application items, plans, and product samples. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: 1. Replace existing 1/1 wood double hung windows with new custom Lincoln 1/1 aluminum -clad wood, dual glazed windows to fit all existing openings. Fire egress windows will be designed to appear as double hung but function as a casement. Windows in hose tower will be fixed as existing. Existing Condition: Applicant states that it is their professional opinion (as an Architectural Consultant) that various windows were replaced during middle of last century and do not resemble original windows of the construction era, 1898, where "grain count not conducive of fir wood that would have been harvested and used for the windows during the time frame of the original • construction". Further, "the cost to restore what is there will be far more costly WHILE ALSO in my opinion not provide as structurally sound nor maintenance free of a product. The cost would probably amount to more than 3 times the cost with far less of a return of investment (ie the end result would still be a pieced together salvaged window which would also require routine maintenance year after year to keep from falling apart again nor perhaps work as effectively as a new window which brings up safety concerns in the apartment above should there be a fire." Staff concurs that the windows may not be original although they seem to be of a pre -1950 vintage, constructed using mortise and tenon, are single -glazed, and operable by sash cord and pulley. Window conditions vary and include: vinyl replacement inserts, extreme wood rot, missing and inconsistent trim profiles, excess paint preventing function, plexiglass in lieu of glass, broken glass, caulk used in lieu of glazing, and damaged or missing weights (see Site Visit report). Character defining exterior wood molding will be retained, restored and replicated where deteriorated/missing by recreating the profile with custom made trim knives. Proposed Product: Applicant pledges that care will be taken to replicate the historic accuracy of the product noting that the existing windows are painted, so use of aluminum clad -wood products would not detract from the outward appearance and would provide historic accuracy. The clad would reduce the maintenance of the paint/color to perhaps every 10-20 years. New custom Lincoln windows will replace the deteriorated existing frames and sashes. In instances where the wood frame is in good condition, applicant will replace only the sashes. 2. Replace existing garage door with new custom commercial grade thermal steel bi-fold door system • manufactured by Arcadia Custom units designed to mimic hot rolled steel doors and windows common from the late 1800s through 1920s. 3. Replace existing passage doors with new custom wood doors by mill shops to replicate door designs found at the last century to the brick arch details around the exterior of the building. SITE VISIT REPORT: Preservation Inspector Visit 03/28/2018 The structure has four different types of windows that I was able to detect: -2 non-operable wood windows in wood frames with colonial type casement molding at dormer above front garage door -12 non-operable panes of glass built into the framework three on each side of cupola -6 double -hung wood windows with 1/1 pattern at rear addition of structure. These are of later construction using friction type function without weights and have exterior brick molding -17 older wood windows double -hung with 1/1 pattern. These have weights, pulleys, and pockets intact, but most are inoperable because of paint, caulking, missing sash ropes, or secured in place with screws. The outsides of windows have a colonial type casement molding. Structure faces southeast, for the salve of clarification I will refer to windows from top level to lower level and from left to right beginning with the direction the wall faces from the outside and the correlating number. For example, the southeast side, second story, the farthest left window will be SEL Southeast (front) SEI -2 -two non-operable windows in front dormer unable to photograph from inside, condition unknown • SE3-6 -second floor older wood double hung with interior storms.

NE5-7 -first floor older wood windows, sills are soft in spots, glazing is failing, sashes caulked and painted shut. Bottom of sashes have holes that are also caulked and painted. Previously overgrown vegetation that kept moisture in place has been removed recently. NE8 -newer wood double hung window. Friction type operation with exterior brick molding. Interior storm, caulked and painted shut. 04/05/2018 I photographed and inspected the older wood windows on the second story from the exterior this morning. I did not find excessive deterioration but many, many layers of paint and caulk. To the extent that the areas of concern that I photographed from the inside are unreachable from the outside due to the amount of caulk and paint. The sills seem to be in good shape, the characteristic trim work which overhangs the sashes by about an inch appears to be in good shape but in need of stripping. I counted 5 thick layers on most of it. I did find cracked lower sashes on the southwest side. Steve Szaday Historic Preservation Inspector STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES, CHAPIN PARK: II. Existing Structures •A. BUILDING MATERIALS Original exterior building materials in the district include brick, stucco, clapboard, wood shingles, and brick or stone masonry. In some instances, vinyl, composite and aluminum siding have been applied over the original material. Required Original exterior building materials shall be retained when possible. Deterioration of wood materials shall be prevented through repair, cleaning and painting. The existing architectural detail around windows, porches, doors and eaves shall be retained or replaced by replicas of the same design when deteriorated beyond repair. A C Masonry, including brick and stucco structures, shall be maintained, and properly cleaned only when necessary to halt deterioration or to k remove stains and shall be done in a method acceptable for the preservation of the surface: i.e. low-pressure water and soft natural bristle brushes. Brick or masonry 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. When repairing stucco, stucco mixture shall be used. A professional shall make a study of the old stucco, to determine the exact mixture and underlayment used in the original work. Some repair methods are not compatible with the original techniques and may cause early ; disintegration of the repair work and the original work. Ample ventilation must be afforded the structure when siding is installed, in order to prevent increased deterioration of the structure from moisture and insects, Recommended Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored. When maintaining or repairing original siding is not feasible, aluminum, vinyl or composite siding may be used. 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. Prohibited Wood siding shall not be resurfaced with new materials that is inappropriate or was unavailable when the building was constructed, such as artificial stone, brick veneer, asbestos or asphalt shingles. Sandblasting or the use of harsh detergents shall not be used on masonry including brick, stucco, limestone, flagstone and sandstone. This method of cleaning erodes the surface material and accelerates deterioration. s Repointing shall not be done with a mortar of high Portland cement content which can often create a bond that is stronger than the building material. Usage of Portland cement can cause deterioration as a result of the differing coefficient of expansion and porosity of the historic i masonry unit and the mortar. This most often results in serious damage to adjacent brick. Unpainted masonry surfaces shall not be painted unless they had been painted originally. Paint shall not be removed from masonry surfaces by any means that damage the surface. Not Recommended Waterproof or water repellant 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 S the masonry. Mortar joints, which do not need repointing, should not be repointed. Wood siding should not be power -washed. 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. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES, GROUP B LOCAL LANDMARKS: The Commission has the authority to determine the architectural merits and the extent of any proposed treatment, renovation, or addition to a historic landmark. The commission will require drawings, plans, specifications, and/or samples where appropriate. A. Maintenance The maintenance of any historical structure or site shall in no way involve any direct physical change except for the general cleaning and upkeep of the landmark. The Commission shall encourage the proper maintenance of all structure or sites. B. Treatment Treatment shall be defined as any change of surface materials that will not alter the style or original form. Such improvements include re- roofing, glazing, or landscaping lawns and may involve a change that can potentially enhance or detract from the character of the landmark. A treatment change of any surface whether on the landmark or in its environment may require a Certificate of Appropriateness if it significantly alters the appearance of the landmark. Although these kinds of changes may not require a Building Permit, a Certificate of Appropriateness may be necessary. The commission should review the proposed treatment for character and style consistency with the original surfaces. C. Renovation and Additions Renovation is the modification of a structure, which does not alter the general massing while an addition, is a change in mass. A modification, which involves the removal of a part of the landmark, should be considered under demolition (see demolition). Additions to landmarks should not detract from the original form and unity of the landmark and should not cover singular examples of architectural detail. Additions to landmarks should be added in a manner that does not disrupt the visible unity of overall appearance of the site. The proportions, materials and ratios of the existing structures should be carried through in the additions. Care should be taken not to change or alter the following: • 1. Structure—Necessary structural improvements, where safety demands should be accomplished in such a way as to cause minimal visual change to the original style and construction. 2. Material—Additions and improvements involving any new material in the landmark should be of the same material as the 'original. It should be the same size and texture. An alternative material may be allowed if it duplicates the original. a. wood—all wood trim should conform with existing trim in shape and size. b. siding materials—the Commission discourages the covering or alteration of original materials with additional siding. Structures • already sided with incompatible materials should be returned to a siding similar to the original when renovation is considered. 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 be made 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. E. Moving The moving of landmarks is discouraged, however, moving is preferred to demolition. When moving is necessary, the owner of the landmark must apply to the Commission for a Certificate of Appropriateness. F. Signs No neon or flashing signs will be permitted unless they are original to the structure. Billboards and super -graphics will also be disallowed. Only one appropriate identifying sign will be permitted per business. G. Building Site and Landscaping (These standards apply to both A and B) 1. Required Major landscaping items, trees, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house numbers) and benches which reflect the property's history and development shall be retained. Dominant land contours shall be retained. Structures such as: gazebos, patio decks, fixed barbecue pits, swimming pools, tennis courts, green houses, new walls, fountains, fixed garden furniture, trellises, and other similar structures shall be compatible to the historic character of the site and neighborhood and inconspicuous when viewed from a public way. 2. Recommended New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in photographs, drawings, and newspapers. Plant materials and trees in close proximity to the building that are causing deterioration to the buildings historic fabric should be removed. However, trees and plant materials that must be removed should be immediately replaced by suitable flora. Front yard areas should not be fenced except in cases where historic documentation would indicate such fencing appropriate. Fencing should be in character with the buildings style, materials, and scale. 3. Prohibited No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing major landscaping items, trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings, and other elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and development. Front yard areas shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped. The installation of unsightly devices such as TV reception dishes and solar collectors shall not be permitted in areas where they can be viewed from public thoroughfares. •STAFF RECOMMENDATION: As the existing windows have weathered decades of deferred and inappropriate maintenance and the proposed replacement will resemble the original, Staff recommends approval on the condition that all original architectural detail around windows be retained or replaced by replicas. Approval is recommended for garage and passage doors with final design to be approved by Staff.

Jefferson Blvd. Suite 1400 South Bend; IN 46601 Attn: Elicia Feasel Re: 701 Portage COA Application – Window Narrative Please accept this narrative as an attachment to our application for a Certificate of Appropriateness for Firehouse #6 at 701 Portage Avenue. Attached to this narrative are photos of existing conditions. Existinq conditions—Windows There is a wide variety of existing conditions impacting the reuse of the existing windows: • Vinyl replacement inserts • Extreme wood rot • Missing and inconsistent exterior trim profiles • • Excess paint, preventing function of windows • Damaged or missing sash weights Wood Windows For the entirety of the renovation, all construction activity will be guided by the Preservation Standards for Historic Landmarks set forth by HPC. These standards are attached to this letter. If the wood frame is in good condition, we will replace the sashes with aluminum clad (exterior) wood windows from Lincoln Windows or approved equal. The construction of these wood windows uses like materials to the original windows. The aluminum cladding on the outside takes on the same appearance as painted wood without the maintenance of repainting every 3- 5 years. Product data and a cut section window sample Lincoln Windows are included with our application. Please note that the sample includes 5/8" mutton bars. Our intention is to match the original `one over one' glazing pattern, so there will not be any mutton bars. We intend to leave intact all exterior wood trim around the windows. Existing exterior window trim that are in good condition will be scraped, sanded, prepped as needed and repainted. Where the wood is rotten or irreparable, we will recreate the profile using custom made trim knives if needed. We did explore the restoration of the wood windows. Matt Rowe, with Classic Craftsmen of California, estimated that each window would require 10-15 hours of labor and $200-300 of material depending on condition. This total represents 2-3 times the cost of replacement wood windows. One additional consideration for replacement is that we intend for all the windows to be operable. The structural integrity of the replacement windows is greater than the restored single 23186 WEST IRELAND ROAD • SOUTH BEND, IN 46614 • (574) 232-9600 April 11, 2018 • Firehouse #6 COA Page 2 of 2 pane existing windows. The regular use or `wear and tear' would create further maintenance issues with the single pane windows relative to the new wood windows. Additionally, the second floor windows could be used as an emergency egress, further lending to the value of an easily operable and structurally sound window. Steel Doors and Glazing For the large bi-folding door in the former garage door opening (Door 102) and passage doors 101, 103 and 104 we are proposing to install commercial grade thermal steel door systems manufactured by Arcadia Custom or approved equal. These steel door units are designed to mimic hot rolled steel doors and windows common from the late 1800's through the 1920's. Product data and a corner sample from Arcadia Custom are included with our application. Proiect Overview The owners of Firehouse #6 are committed to maintaining the historic accuracy and integrity of this landmark—it is the primary motivation for responding to the city's RFP last year to purchase the property. Last fall, a new roofing system was installed through a routine maintenance exclusion permit. Copper gutters, downspouts and flashings were installed to not only meet the HPC's expectations, but exceed them. On the interior, all wood trim and casework is being salvaged for potential reuse inside the new dining room, bar and 2"a floor apartment. The hose tower will be a focal point, as it will act a huge light well directly above the new bar. The interior walls will be exposed brick. These are just a few examples of the intentions of the project to • honor the historic and architectural significance of this building while repurposing it to solidify its future in the Chapin Park Neighborhood. Should you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact me at any time. Sincerely: H. G.

Downs Landmark or District Designation: Chapin Park Local (Ordinance #9574-05) and National Historic DistrictRating: Contributing DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/SITE: The house located at 908 Leland is a 2 storey wood frame gabled -ell with an irregular plan set upon a brick foundation. 4 '/2" wood clapboard with frieze and moulded cornice was recently revealed when the previous vinyl siding was removed. The roof is a cross gable with asphalt shingles. The porch is located in the corner between the front gable and south wing; it has 2 wood column supports with simple balustrade. The windows are double hung 1/1 with moulded entabulatures; the doors have wide moulded entabulatures. ALTERATIONS: In 1932 the home was remodeled into a 2 family dwelling and in 1949 it housed 3 families. It was noted in August 1949 that the original wood shingle roof was replaced or covered with asphalt shingles. The garage attached at the rear of the house was removed prior to the 1940s and replaced with a detached concrete block two car garage before 1949. The structure has replacement storm windows and doors; the original pine exterior trim is no longer visible and is probably removed. The first storey window shutters photographed in 1987 is have not been replaced. In August, 2009 a report from Code Enforcement indicated that a new front porch deck, steps and guardrail were installed along with a re -constructed set of rear steps to the second floor. There was also a newly reconstructed pressboard covering of the exterior access to the basement. RME 2017-1 O1 OB called for masonry work on the chimney. RME 2017-1115 removed a large maple tree that compromised the sewer between 906 and 908 Leland. Vinyl siding was removed in the spring of 2018. APPLICATION ITEMS: "Detailed plans and exterior elevation drawings are attached to this application. In short, this modest home in the Chapin Park District was broken up into at least 2 units many years ago. I purchased it with the intent of returning it to single-family occupancy and restoring the exterior." "In order to make the interior spaces workable for a modern family I am requesting permission to change a couple of openings in the house's exterior. In addition, I am removing the plastic siding, repairing all the woodwork and trim, replacing the ill -constructed porch and attaching historically appropriate railings. Finally, a small addition will be put on the back of the house at the kitchen door in order to enclose the stairs to the basement that have been exterior to the house for a very long time." "All windows will be wood -clad and conform to the proportions of the original windows. All will be double hung except for the horizontal format window adjacent to the basement stairs and the porthole window in the back bedroom on the second floor." Addendum, April 3, 2018: "The windows at 908 Leland Ave. in South bend which will be impacted by the renovation described in the C. of A. application from March 2018 will be Marvin Ultimate Double Hung Windows, all wood -clad. "We are in contact with Marvin Windows which is based in Wisconsin, to establish whether they can simply take • the Ultimate Double Hung Window and switch out the top cross piece on the lower sash and the bottom cross piece on the top sash for a slightly smaller wooden cross bar. The existing windows at 908 Leland have a 1 -inch wide piece. The stock Marvin Windows have a 2 -inch wide piece. It appears that Marvin can semi -custom make the windows we request in order to much more precisely match the existing and remaining windows at 908 Leland." See attached documents.

Replace Maple removed with RME #2017-1115. Applicant is intending to use all -wood Marvin Ultimate Double Hung windows for new replacements. Applicant has expressed concern over the thickness of the new replacement window sashes, as they will be existing in near visible proximity to original windows. Applicant is working with Marvin to attempt to modify the new windows to better replicate the existing sash/frame pattern. Seven new Marvin windows will be installed (five double hung, one awning, and one fixed circle window). PRESERVATION INSPECTOR REPORT: N/A STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: CHAPIN PARK General Definitions • (B) PRESERVATION GUIDELINES (b2) Rehabilitation (ADOPTED) Maintaining the existing character of the district, and whenever possible returning it to its original condition. Any rehabilitation would not require the removal of all non -original materials but would encourage the removal of all such materials which are incompatible with the defined elements of preservation for the district. The design of new construction or alteration would not require the duplication of the original design and construction, but should be compatible with existing structures and the district's defined elements of preservation. The use of original materials or construction techniques would be encouraged, but contemporary methods and • materials would be acceptable when compatible. II. EXISTING STRUCTURES A. BUILDING MATERIALS Original exterior building materials in the district include brick, stucco, clapboard, wood shingles, and brick or stone masonry. In some instances, vinyl, composite and aluminum siding have been applied over the original material. Required Original exterior building materials shall be retained when possible. Deterioration of wood materials shall be prevented through repair, cleaning and painting. The existing architectural detail around windows, porches, doors and eaves shall be retained or replaced by replicas of the same design when deteriorated beyond repair. Masonry, including brick and stucco structures, shall be maintained, and properly cleaned only when necessary to halt deterioration or to remove stains and shall be done in a method acceptable for the preservation of the surface: i.e. low-pressure water and soft natural bristle brushes. Brick or masonry 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. When repairing stucco, stucco mixture shall be used. A professional shall make a study of the old stucco, to determine the exact mixture and underlayment used in the original work. Some repair methods are not compatible with the original techniques and may cause early disintegration of the repair work and the original work. Ample ventilation must be afforded the structure when siding is installed, in order to prevent increased deterioration of the structure from moisture and insects. Recommended Whenever possible, the original building materials .should be restored. When maintaining or repairing original siding is not feasible, aluminum, vinyl or composite siding may be used. 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. Property owners should contact the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County prior to initiating any restoration or rehabilitation effort. [ Address and contact information is listed in the front of the Guidebook.] The Commission is an invaluable source of information about all facets of rehabilitation and restoration — materials, methods, contractors and the like. Prohibited Wood siding shall not be resurfaced with new materials that is inappropriate or was unavailable when the building was constructed, such as artificial stone, brick veneer, asbestos or asphalt shingles. Sandblasting or the use of harsh detergents shall not be used on masonry including brick, stucco, limestone, flagstone and sandstone. This • method of cleaning erodes the surface material and accelerates deterioration. Repointing shall not be done with a mortar of high Portland cement content which can often create a bond that is stronger than the building material. Usage of Portland cement can cause deterioration as a result of the differing coefficient of expansion and porosity of the historic masonry unit and the mortar. This most often results in serious damage to adjacent brick. Unpainted masonry surfaces shall not be painted unless they had been painted originally. Paint shall not be removed from masonry surfaces by any means that damage the surface. Not Recommended Waterproof or water repellant coatings or surface consolidation treatments should not be used on masonry surfaces unless required to solve a specific problem that has been studied and identified. Coatings are frequently unnecessary and expensive, and can accelerate deterioration of the masonry. Mortar joints, which do not need repointing, should not be repointed. Wood siding should not be power -washed. B. ROOFS AND ROOFING Roof shapes in the district encompass all the various designs found in residential structures: hipped, gabled, gambrel, flat and combinations of these. Roofs are covered with a variety of materials such as asphalt, asbestos, wood and slate shingles as well as clay tiles. Residences in most cases have wood fascias with gutters and downspouts. The fascias of some vinyl- and aluminum -sided houses are covered with the same materials. Required The existing shape and type of materials of the roof shall be retained. All architectural features, which give the roof its essential character, shall be retained, including dormer windows, cupolas, cornices, brackets, chimneys, cresting and weather vanes. Recommended The original shape and materials of the roof should be restored. Particular effort should be made to retain materials such as slate, tile and other unique materials not commonly found in new construction. Roof covering which is deteriorated beyond repair should be replaced with new material that matches as closely as possible the original in composition, size, shape, color and texture. Gutters and downspouts are often a necessary adjunct in order to prevent deterioration of the structure; they should be maintained whenever possible or replaced with a style comparable and suitable to the architectural period. Prohibited Nothing shall be done to change the essential character of the roof as viewed from a street by adding architectural features or large unsightly fixtures, or by using materials inappropriate to the style of the house. The roof shall not be stripped of architectural features important to its character. Not Recommended Overhanging eaves, soffit, brackets and gables should not be covered or enclosed when adding siding to a building. •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. D. ENTRANCES, PORCHES AND STEPS Most houses in the district have either an open or enclosed porch across the front. Most porches have either hip or gabled roofs or are covered by the main roof of the house. Required When deteriorated beyond repair, existing or original porches, stoops, patios and steps, including handrails, balusters, columns, brackets, tiles and roof decorations, shall be retained or replaced by replicas of the same design or by a design more in keeping with the historic period of the structure. Porches and additions reflecting later architectural styles and which are important to the building's historical integrity shall be retained. Recommended When enclosing porches for heat conservation or for other reasons, it should be done in a manner that does not alter the architectural or historical character of the building. Not Recommended Original porch details should not be replaced with materials representing a different period or style from the original. III. NEW CONSTRUCTION New construction includes any new building or structure built within the boundaries of the historic district, or any new addition to an existing building. New construction should be designed considering the appearance, scale, styles and setbacks of the other buildings in the neighborhood. New work may be contemporary or may suggest motifs from historic buildings in the district. A. HEIGHT AND PROPORTION The majority of the structures in the district are two stories in height and have square or rectangular plans. There are several houses that have L- or T- shaped or rambling ground plans. There are a few single -story cottages and one- and one -and -a -half story bungalows. The most prevalent fagade proportions are between a 1:1 and 1:2 height to width ratio. Required The height of a new structure and its height to width proportions shall be consistent with adjacent buildings in the district. The building height shall be no greater than that of the tallest existing structure and no less than that of the lowest existing structure in the same block. Fagade proportion shall be established by permitting no structure with a fagade wider or narrower than those existing in the same block. Additions to the existing buildings shall be related in height and proportion to the existing structure. • Recommended Design of new construction should be compatible in character and mood to the building or neighborhood. Prohibited Additions that would add new height or change the existing fagade of a building, and change its scale and architectural character shall not be considered. Not Recommended New stories should not be added nor existing stories be removed which would destroy important architectural details, features and spaces of the building. Any style or period of architecture that is incompatible with the existing should not be permitted in the new additions. B. BUILDING MATERIALS Wall materials in the district range from brick, stucco and wood clapboard and shingles, to aluminum, vinyl and fiberboard / composite siding. Required Exterior materials used on a new structure shall be compatible in scale, texture and color (as pertains to masonry) with adjacent structures. Materials used on an addition to an existing structure shall related to the existing or original materials of that structure. Also, as much of the original structure as possible shall be retained so that the addition could be removed without damage to the basic structure and appearance of the building. Recommended Alternative or composite siding may be used when it is the only feasible alternative. This siding should be compatible with the original size and style and with the materials of other buildings in the district. Prohibited Inappropriate materials such as asbestos, asphalt, cast stone or artificial brick shall not be used. Not Recommended Glass blocks should not be used. Concrete block should not be used for anything other than the foundations. IV. SAFETY AND BUILDING CODES A. BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS Required Building code requirements shall be complied with in such a manner that the existing character of the building is preserved. Recommended Local building code officials should be consulted to investigate alternative life safety measures that will preserve the architectural integrity of the structure. Variances for historic properties should be investigated. Prohibited • Construction of new stairways and elevators that would alter important architectural features and spaces is prohibited. Not Recommended Fire prevention equipment should not damage the appearance or fabric of the building. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the project, as it is in keeping with the Standards • & Guidelines of the Chapin Park Local and National Historic District.

Detailed plans and exterior elevation drawings are attached to this application. In short, this modest home in the Chapin Park District was broken up into at least 2 units many years ago. I purchased it with the intent of returning it to single-family occupancy and restoring the exterior. In order to make the interior spaces workable for a modern family a I am requesting permission to change a couple of openings in the house's exterior. In addition, I am removing the plastic siding, repairing all the woodwork and trim, replacing the ill - constructed porch and attaching historically appropriate railings. Finally, a small addition will be put on the back of the house at the kitchen door in order to enclose the stairs to the basement that have been exterior to the house for a very long time. All windows will be wood -clad and conform to the proportions of the original windows. All will be double hung except for the horizontal format window adjacent to the basement stairs and the porthole window in the back bedroom on the second floor. FIRST FLOOR: Fagade/West Side: -replace front porch floor with proper type of wooden boards in correct orientation and pitch. -replace existing railing with historically correct railing of lower elevation to match original which left marks in the pillars for attachment. -install matching hand railings along front stairs to porch with rails to match new front porch railings and finish posts with modest finial (per example photograph attached). -remove hallow -core door from north facing front parlor and replace with historically appropriate front door with a square window. Install wooden storm door with matching confirmation. (see attached photo). -change existing door from the porch to the inner parlor to a window to match the scale and size of the window immediately to the south of it which is canted toward the front porch. -add a window of the same size and proportion as the two that face the porch to the wall next to the front door. This is the now blank wall facing the front porch. *The reason for the removal of the door on the porch which faces the street and the switching of the houses primary entrance to the door 90 degrees to the north of this door is because on the interior the new confirmation will allow for traffic to be condensed into a single path between the front parlor and the back of the house. This allows for the middle parlor on the south side of the house to have more useable space. South Side: -remove the door which goes into the dinning room. The wall of the room already has one window and it is deemed best to allow for some wall space in the dinning room which is not punctuated with a window. The room has 2 remaining windows. 9 East Side/Back Side: • -Build a small addition to the rear of the house at the spot which was the original kitchen door. This room will measure 10 feet East-West x 13.9 feet North-South. It will have a kitchen door with a window. The room is designed to enclose the existing exterior basement stairs and provide covered, safe, dry access to the basement. The addition will have a window in the east side and a window in the south side. The east side window will be a wood clad double hung window to match the size and scale of the original windows. The horizontal window on the south side of the new addition will be horizontal in format and higher up on the wall. It is designed to help light the area of the basement stairs. Install back kitchen door with window with storm door of matching confirmation (see attached photo). North Side: -Remove existing window in the back of the house, where the original kitchen was and renovated kitchen will be and install a window which allows for the counter top and kitchen sink on the interior. The current window is too low in the wall to allow for the insertion of a sink. 2 SECOND FLOOR: Back Side/Rear Bedroom: .7 The current rear room of the second floor has low ceilings and no windows. In addition the doorway is too low. The changes in this room involve rebuilding the roof in order to insert two shed dormers with windows. These windows will be double hung but of small dimensions to fit in the dormer. A round porthole window will be inserted just under the peak of the roof on the back of the house in this rear bedroom. EXTERIOR GARDEN IMPROVEMENTS: The addition to the front house (908 Leland) will shrink the space between it and the cottage behind (906 Leland). This small and dark space will be graded and paved in water permeable ceramic brick of an organic color to form a patio space for the properties to share. (For seasonal color, large-ish planters with shade friendly plants will be installed.) The same brick will be used to pave the parking pad behind the front house and immediately adjacent to the north side of the cottage. The space between 906/908 Leland and 902 Leland to the south will be landscaped as will the front of the property at 908. New sidewalk will be installed in 2018 as the current one is extremely broken up. A new large tree will be planted hopefully adjacent to the back addition of 908 in order to replace the maple that had to be cut down to fix the broken sewer and allow for the addition. • 3 2/14/2018 Antique Fir Exterior Door C) 02 L & G P"'4 D Home.

We are in contact with Marvin Windows which is based in Wisconsin, to establish whether they can simply take the Ultimate Double Hung Window and switch out the top cross piece on the lower sash and the bottom cross piece on the top sash for a slightly smaller wooden cross bar. The existing windows at 908 Leland have a 1 inch wide piece. The stock Marvin Windows have a 2 inch wide piece. It appears that Marvin can semi -custom make the windows we request in order to much more precisely match the existing and remaining windows at 908 Leland. • • 0 0 t V E&+l n 's "J % " '.4 OAJ MQA,uILn LAN %ndo.�.i 90$ 1e -1-.J o � S o iv%.t s, ► 2. s. + p ro p on. {, on,,s P,09 e s -e d -(+o-- • 4.�ccs�:may wcn%do-/ ` pS, Lela.•d Avc, • 11 • 13' I \ � 94tD I \ I n A I I � I d zET ETC _ n � O N 4 2666 0 0 0 13'-9 1/2" / a �o DD> C I A � ?

Maintenance The maintenance of any historical structure or site shall in no way involve any direct physical change except for the general cleaning and upkeep of the landmark. The Commission shall encourage the proper maintenance of all structure or sites. . B. Treatment Treatment shall be defined as any change of surface materials that will not alter the style or original form. Such improvements include re -roofing, glazing, or landscaping lawns and may involve a change that can potentially enhance or detract from the character of the landmark. A treatment change of any surface whether on the landmark or in its environment may require a Certificate of Appropriateness if it significantly alters the appearance of the landmark. Although these kinds of changes may not require a Building Permit, a Certificate of Appropriateness may be necessary. The commission should review the proposed treatment for character and style consistency with the original surfaces. C. Renovation and Additions Renovation is the modification of a structure, which does not alter the general massing while an addition, is a change in mass. A modification, which involves the removal of a part of the landmark, should be considered under demolition (see demolition). Additions to landmarks should not detract from the original form and unity of the landmark and should not cover singular examples of architectural detail. Additions to landmarks should be added in a manner that does not disrupt the visible unity of overall appearance of the site. The proportions, materials and ratios of the existing structures should be carried through in the additions. Care should be taken not to change or alter the following: 1. Structure—Necessary structural improvements, where safety demands should be accomplished in such a way as to cause minimal visual change to the original style and construction. 2. Material—Additions and improvements involving any new material in the landmark should be of the same material as the original. It should be the same size and texture. An alternative material may be allowed if it duplicates the original. a. wood—all wood trim should conform with existing trim in shape and size. b. siding materials—the Commission discourages the covering or alteration of original materials with additional siding. Structures already sided with incompatible materials should be returned to a siding similar to the original when renovation is considered. • 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 be made 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. E. Movin The moving of landmarks is discouraged, however, moving is preferred to demolition. When moving is necessary, the owner of the landmark must apply to the Commission for a Certificate of Appropriateness. F. Signs No neon or flashing signs will be permitted unless they are original to the structure. Billboards and super -graphics will also be disallowed. Only one appropriate identifying sign will be permitted per business. G. BuildinlZ Site and Landscaping 1. Required Major landscaping items, trees, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house numbers) and benches which reflect the property's history and development shall be retained. Dominant land contours shall be retained. Structures such as: gazebos, patio decks, fixed barbecue pits, swimming pools, tennis courts, green houses, new walls, fountains, fixed garden furniture, trellises, and other similar structures shall be compatible to the historic character of the site and neighborhood and inconspicuous when viewed from a public way. 2. Recommended New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in photographs, drawings, and newspapers. Plant materials and trees in close proximity to the building that are causing deterioration to the buildings historic fabric should be removed. However, trees and plant materials that must be removed should be immediately replaced by suitable flora. Front yard areas should not be fenced except in cases where historic documentation would indicate such fencing appropriate. Fencing should be in character with the buildings style, materials, and scale. 3. Prohibited No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing major landscaping items, trees, • fencing, walkways, outbuildings, and other elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and development. Front yard areas shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped. The installation of unsightly devices such as TV reception dishes and solar collectors shall not be permitted in areas where they can be viewed from public thoroughfares. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval for overall scope of project with request that Commission remand authority to Staff for specific design details, including: 1D, 2B, 213, 2E, 3A, and 4C.

Lauber Building - Local Landmark Dear Elicia: I have reviewed the referenced Ordinance (i.e., Ordinance 7591-86). It states that the "PROPERTY" is established as an Historic Landmark. It appears the Ordinance defines "PROPERTY" as "the improvements located upon said land". I interpret that to mean only the improvements that existed on the land were given historic landmark status, not the land itself. Given that the address is not located in a Historic Preservation District, I think only the existing buildings would undergo review, if changes to those existing buildings are proposed. Please let me know if you have any further questions. bds Sincerely, Brett R.

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS ARE LISTED ON REVERSE SIDE— H Elicia; Rather than send only certain pages of my dwgs, they are all attached for you and I have copied Steve and Dan B as well. • From our convo, I am listing the following items and you can review my take on these items and respond accordingly: 1. Note the west wall which shows new doors and windows. These are scheduled on the door schedules ( doors #21 and 25 & windows #23,24 and 25) as shown on the plans. 2. Although it is not shown on the plans, the current grass area west of the restaurant is slated for a deck which is to be constructed on site with a decking board made of recycled plastic. Many brands of these exist and since I am not installing any benches , fencing or other vertical element, I am hoping that this is not a big deal. I will be removing the fence and either A. Reinstalling it after deck is built OR B. Installing a new fence of a design that you will either approve or if not approved, I will reinstall the fence that is currently in place. 3. Main Entrance off LaSalle will be modified in order to raise the threshold approx. 6 inches off current grade. The city is to rectify the current sidewalk approach and drainage problems in the ROW prior to our obtaining the Certificate of Occupancy (C.O.), which is scheduled for October 1, 2018. The doors will either be: A. If possible, existing door will be reworked and attached to new frame and panic hardware OR B. Existing door will be removed and affixed as an overlay to a new steel door and frame with new panic hardware OR C. As a last option a new custom wooden door would be installed matching the existing door 4. East entry is a new full glass double door as shown on door schedule on plans (door # 16). 5. Rooms 3 and 11 are new additions as shown on plans sheet A2. These coolers/freezer will be assembled at the site and painted in a color to match the new color scheme of the building which is TBD. These are flat metal panel additions. 6. Overhead doors # 05 and 07 will be replaced with full glass panel bronze finished aluminum overhead doors. Overhead doors 02 and 04 are aluminum doors, bronze finished to match existing panel profile as close as possible. All are shown on the door schedule. 7. Doors 03 is hollow metal steel door in full glass and door 06 is Aluminum bronze finish, full glass as shown on plans. • 8. Front fagade on main North elevation is to restored in its current form with NO changes planned All other elevations are to be in their original material and will be restored including the painted graphics as they currently exist. 9. The new fence as noted on sheet C1 is to match existing or a different design to be approved at a later time. 10. Doors # 27 and 28 have been eliminated due to plan modifications not yet resolved. The owner has desire to install an exit door from kitchen directly to the outside in lieu of replacing existing door openings. It is hoped that this change will not require the full rebuilding of that section of wall, however this can NOT be determined until asphalt has been removed and foundation has been inspected. If possible, this wall will remain intact and one of the existing windows shall be replaced with a new exit door, style and material to match door # 03 as noted above. Due to timing, I would rather not have to submit cut sheets for the doors at this time as they are standard hollow metal steel or standard aluminum or standard aluminum insulated overhead typical of new commercial construction. I hope that covers all items. I will need to know what documents you require from me for the process of approval. Anything you can do to simplify is appreciated as the timing is such that I need to get the approval at the April meeting. Thanks for your help. Look forward to hearing from you soon.

The building was used as a residence for many years following and later as the Old Country Bake Shop. Structure is a 1 '/z story T-Plan/Romanesque Revival set upon a stone foundation. First story is brick, second story is wood shingle with a combination of fish scale and diamond pattern. Roof is asphalt shingle with returns at gabled ends. Windows are 1/1 double hung set in arched top with brick lintels and stone sills. Front door is rounded arch opening that has been filled with plywood and a metal pre -hung door. The entire site has suffered deferred maintenance with severe degradation to the school house roof, see July 31, 2017 letter to owner. There is a small, vinyl -sided, non -historic structure on the site. ALTERATIONS: 1978 COA for wooden frame windows to be replaced with aluminum frames, rebuild front stoop, demolish dilapidated rear addition, install signs. Front door and surround is not original. There is a rear concrete stoop with flat roof. • APPLICATION ITEMS: 1. Demolition of non-contributing ancillary building; 2. Discussion of options for schoolhouse property including relocation, demolition with mitigation, or design modifications to allow it to remain in place. All of the options will be explored by the engineering and project management teams and coordinated with Indiana Landmarks and the Lakeville community. The results will be presented at the April 16 commission meeting along with a request for approval of the selected option. C. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Historic Preservation Staff was first contacted on February 27, 2018 regarding "anticipated impacts to a local landmark by the proposed Jackson Road to Marshall transmission line project." Because the Local Landmark is located within the proposed right-of-way of the new line, applicant is proposing to either relocate the school house, demolish, or modify the design to allow it to remain in place. The small, vinyl -sided structure is not historic. Indiana Landmarks (in partnership with the Town of Lakeville) has submitted a proposal to American Electric Power to relocate the Pleasant View School to the nearby Town of Lakeville. Under the proposal, Indiana Landmarks would manage and own the project including contracting for the relocation and associated new construction. The building mover identified for the project is Lykowski Construction — a firm with significant building relocation experience in our area. Lykowski is insured, has visited the site, and concurs that the building can be safely relocated. Upon relocation, Indiana Landmarks will undertake exterior rehabilitation of the building estimated at $65,000 to $70,000. The Town would provide a lot onto which the building will be relocated. AEP would donate the building to Indiana Landmarks along with the cost to move the building to a new site and construct a crawl space foundation for the building. AEP would be responsible for removing the existing foundation and backfilling after the building is removed. SITE VISIT REPORT: Date/Time of Inspection: March 13, 2018 at 9 AM Met with AEP representatives, representatives from Lakeville town management, fire department, police chief, building department, Indiana Landmarks, Lykowski Construction, and BP Administrator Elicia Feasel. Exterior: -roofing, large holes on east face, roof needs replaced, many areas of decking will need further investigation to see if they are also in need of replacement -some cracked or missing glass in windows -overgrown vegetation, vines have entered the soffits -gutters and soffit material are falling off or missing -gaps in area where rear dock area meets the structure allows element infiltration Interior: First floor- -floor from front (west) to rear (east) has bow then drop to a hole that enters the lower level/crawl space -holes in roof have allowed elements to enter at rear and have allowed the deterioration of the floor boards and joists Second floor- -roof damage has allowed elements to enter and deteriorate second floor landing and floors at rear of structure as well as the front corners of the structure. -several spots have water infiltration from bad roof that have caused plaster fail and mold -raccoons have made the building home and droppings were throughout Overall: -The roof needs a complete tear off and perhaps roof truss repair upon further investigation. -The first floor will need a re -decking and several floor joists replaced or repaired. Load bearers appear to be intact but other supporting members will need replacement or repair. Steve Szaday-Preservation Inspector STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES GROUP B LOCAL LANDMARKS: The Commission has the authority to determine the architectural merits and the extent of any proposed treatment, renovation, or addition to a historic landmark. The commission will require drawings, plans, specifications, and/or samples where appropriate. A. Maintenance The maintenance of any historical structure or site shall in no way involve any direct physical change except for the general cleaning and upkeep of the landmark. The Commission shall encourage the proper maintenance of all structure or sites. B. Treatment Treatment shall be defined as any change of surface materials that will not alter the style or original form. Such improvements include re- roofing, glazing, or landscaping lawns and may involve a change that can potentially enhance or detract from the character of the landmark. A treatment change of any surface whether on the landmark or in its environment may require a Certificate of Appropriateness if it significantly alters the appearance of the landmark. Although these kinds of changes may not require a Building Perniit, a Certificate of Appropriateness may be necessary. The commission should review the proposed treatment for character and style consistency with the original surfaces. C. Renovation and Additions Renovation is the modification of a structure, which does not alter the general massing while an addition, is a change in mass. A modification, which involves the removal of a part of the landmark, should be considered under demolition (see demolition). Additions to landmarks should not detract from the original form and unity of the landmark and should not cover singular examples of architectural detail. Additions to landmarks should be added in a manner that does not disrupt the visible unity of overall appearance of the site. The proportions, materials and ratios of the existing structures should be carried through in the additions. Care should be taken not to change or alter the following: 1. Structure—Necessary structural improvements, where safety demands should be accomplished in such a way as to cause minimal visual change to the original style and construction. 2. Material—Additions and improvements involving any new material in the landmark should be of the same material as the 'original, It should be the same size and texture. An alternative material may be allowed if it duplicates the original. a. wood—all wood trim should conform with existing trim in shape and size. b. siding materials—the Commission discourages the covering or alteration of original materials with additional siding. Structures already sided with incompatible materials should be returned to a siding similar to the original when renovation is considered. 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 be made 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. C. • E. Moving • The moving of landmarks is discouraged, however, moving is preferred to demolition. When moving is necessary, the owner of the landmark must apply to the Commission for a Certificate of Appropriateness. F. Signs No neon or flashing signs will be permitted unless they are original to the structure. Billboards and super -graphics will also be disallowed. Only one appropriate identifying sign will be permitted per business. G. Building Site and Landscaping (These standards apply to both A and B) 1. Required Major landscaping items, trees, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house numbers) and benches which reflect the property's history and development shall be retained. Dominant land contours shall be retained. Structures such as: gazebos, patio decks, fixed barbecue pits, swimming pools, tennis courts, green houses, new walls, fountains, fixed garden furniture, trellises, and other similar structures shall be compatible to the historic character of the site and neighborhood and inconspicuous when viewed from a public way. 2. Recommended New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in photographs, drawings, and newspapers. Plant materials and trees in close proximity to the building that are causing deterioration to the buildings historic fabric should be removed. However, trees and plant materials that must be removed should be immediately replaced by suitable flora. Front yard areas should not be fenced except in cases where historic documentation would indicate such fencing appropriate. Fencing should be in character with the buildings style, materials, and scale. 3. Prohibited No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing major landscaping items, trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings, and other elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and development. Front yard areas shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor black -topped. The installation of unsightly devices such as TV reception dishes and solar collectors shall not be permitted in areas where they can be viewed from public thoroughfares. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: With regards to the ancillary (small, vinyl -sided, non -historic) building, Staff recommends approval to demolish. No recommendation is made at this time regarding the options proposed for the main (Pleasant View School House) structure as there is insufficient detail submitted at time of COA application. • Written by Elicia Feasel Historic Preservation Administrator is • C L` • • C.

We are looking for compliance with the minimum maintenance standards that have been approved by each district and for each local landmark. These standards must also meet those set by the city of South Bend Code En- forcement and the building and standard codes of St. Joseph County. The purpose of this letter is to let you know our concerns for your landmark property. Your property is showing prob- lems that if not attended to in the near future will become costly and more difficult to repair. Specifically we observed the roof is in very bad condition, with multiple holes; some gutters, soffit and fascia are missing; downspouts are not attached to the building; glass is missing in the attic window; dutch corners are rotted/missing; gable shakes are missing; there is masonry failure; and the property is quite overgrown. Enclosed please find a diagram which indicates areas of concern. We would appreciate if you would respond within thirty days of the date of this letter to confirm that we have reached the correct property owner. When it comes time to rectify these issues; please do so by submitting your plan to us, along with a completed Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) application. Standards and guidelines information, COA applications, and other relevant information can be found at the Historic Preservation Commission website listed above. Please do not hesitate to call us with questions or concerns. We have sources through our office that can advise you on techniques to solve these problems and hope that they will be of use to you. We look forward to hearing from you and working with you in the future.

This outline offers AEP a path to remedy hold up with the HVTL construction while affording an opportunity for positive public relations. Since our first discussion on site on March IT", and cognizant of AEP's concern about the HVTL construction timeframe, project costs and timeframes have been secured, possible sites identified and commitments for partnership involvement and funding have begun. While many approvals and logistics remain, the following • represents the basic agreement that would allow us to take the necessary next steps for approval by the board of Indiana Landmarks, the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County (HPC), new site control, and initiation of other building department and utility reviews and approvals. Media and public relations The partners involved are prepared to help spread the positive word. Indiana Landmarks will utilize our print and electronic media footprint before, during and after the project including our magazine, Indiana Preservation (reaching 7,500 addresses), web page (57,000 monthly visits) blog, and electronic newsletters Posts to our Twitter and Snapehat will bring added interest and awareness to our followers. Through our marketing department we are willing to draft and circulate — with prior review and approval of AEP - press releases about the project to our media list. The partners including the leadership with the Town of Lakeville and its Redevelopment Commission (Town), HPC and local concerned residents will utilize their social media channels and other outlets. In addition to print, on-line and media attention, experience shows signage on the building before and during the move provides outstanding exposure and media interest — especially the day of a relocation. Nothing invites public interest like a closed road with a building in the middle of it. Indiana Landmarks will develop and produce (with AEP's review) signage to place on the building highlighting AEP. Relocation Indiana Landmarks, will manage and own the project including contracting for: the relocation and associated new construction. The building mover identified for the project is Lykowski Construction — a firm with significant building relocation experience in our area. Lykowskiis insured, has visited the site, and concurs that the building can be safely relocated. The costs noted below are based on his and his sub:contractors • pricing. Indiana Landmarks' project management will be done as an in-kind investment into the project. Upon relocation Indiana Landmarks will undertake exterior rehabilitation of the building estimated at $65,000 to INDIANA LANDMARKS REVITALIZES COMMUNITIES, RECONNECTS US TO OUR HERITAGE, AND SAVES MEANINGFUL PLACES. $70,000. In the interim we would tarp the roof to start to dry out the building and stop additional water infiltration. The Town, through its Redevelopment Commission or other means, provides a lot onto which the building will be relocated and assists with other in-kind services as may be identified such as traffic control during the move. AEP donates the building to Indiana Landmarks along with the $84,000 cost to remove the building to a new site and construct a crawl space foundation for the building. AEP provides in-kind services to drop the necessary electric lines along the agreed to route and removes and backfills the existing foundation after the building is removed. AEP will assist in determining the best route to the new site working with Lykowski,lNDOT and other utilities as necessary. Indiana Landmarks will work with the Town and interested residents to raise $30,000 in cash or in-kind services by May 25'h to cover additional costs associated with the relocation such as temporary drops for other utilities and traffic signals. In our work these costs typically are the responsibility of the donor wishing to demolish the building. In this situation we are endeavoring to lessen AEP's cost by involving community members and other possible sources. Taken in whole this proposal works to balance the investment of the partners with that of AEP. Upon agreement Indiana Landmarks, community leaders and residents are willing to testify in favor of the project when the HPC hears the Certificate of Appropriateness application for relocation. While we are not entirely sure sufficient information can be prepared in time for the April meeting — here is a potential timeframe: April 2 Historic Preservation Commission deadline COA application for April Commission meeting. April 16 Meeting for hearing on demolition of auxiliary building and proposal for relocation. April 17 Begin process for permits for relocation — utilities, traffic, INDOT, site construction permits. This is expected to take 45 days under ideal circumstances May 25 No later than this date — Indiana Landmarks will provide notice to AEP concerning decision to relocate or terminate project. All involved will agree not to interfere with demolition permit if decision is to terminate relocation project. June 1 If relocation is to proceed, Lykowski on site to begin work, funds transferred to Indiana Landmarks. June 30 Building off site Below is a brief outline about Indiana Landmarks including a link to our web page for more information about our organization. We thank you in advance for your time and partnership to save this local landmark. We trust that through this partnership we can facilitate continued construction of the HVTL and avoid delay in securing the required permits. Todd A.

SITE VISIT REPORT: n/a STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES, GROUP B: A. Maintenance The maintenance of any historical structure or site shall in no way involve any direct physical change except for the general cleaning and upkeep of the landmark. The Commission shall encourage the proper maintenance of all structure or sites. B. Treatment Treatment shall be defined as any change of surface materials that will not alter the style or original form. Such improvements include re- roofing, glazing, or landscaping lawns and may involve a change that can potentially enhance or detract from the character of the landmark. A treatment change of any surface whether on the landmark or in its environment may require a Certificate of Appropriateness if it significantly alters the appearance of the landmark. Although these kinds of changes may not require a Building Permit, a Certificate of Appropriateness may be necessary. The commission should review the proposed treatment for character and style consistency with the original surfaces. C. Renovation and Additions Renovation is the modification of a structure, which does not alter the general massing while an addition, is a change in mass. A modification, which involves the removal of a part of the landmark, should be considered under demolition (see demolition). Additions to landmarks should not detract from the original form and unity of the landmark and should not cover singular examples of architectural detail. Additions to landmarks should be added in a manner that does not disrupt the visible unity of overall appearance of the site. The proportions, materials and ratios of the existing structures should be carried through in the additions. Care should be taken not to change or alter the following: 1. Structure—Necessary structural improvements, where safety demands should be accomplished in such a way as to cause • minimal visual change to the original style and construction. 2. Material—Additions and improvements involving any new material in the landmark should be of the same material as the original. It should be the same size and texture. An alternative material may be allowed if it duplicates the original. a. wood—all wood trim should conform with existing trim in shape and size. b. siding materials—the Commission discourages the covering or alteration of original materials with additional siding. Structures already sided with incompatible materials should be returned to a siding similar to the original when renovation is considered. • 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 be made 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. E. Moving The moving of landmarks is discouraged, however, moving is preferred to demolition. When moving is necessary, the owner of the landmark must apply to the Commission for a Certificate of Appropriateness. F. Signs No neon or flashing signs will be permitted unless they are original to the structure. Billboards and super -graphics will also be disallowed. Only one appropriate identifying sign will be permitted per business. G. Building Site and Landscaping 1. Required Major landscaping items, trees, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house numbers) and benches which reflect the property's history and development shall be retained. Dominant land contours shall be retained. Structures such as: gazebos, patio decks, fixed barbecue pits, swimming pools, tennis courts, green houses, new walls, fountains, fixed garden furniture, trellises, and other similar structures shall be compatible to the historic character of the site and neighborhood and inconspicuous when viewed from a public way. 2. Recommended New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in photographs, drawings, and newspapers. Plant materials and trees in close proximity to the building that are causing deterioration to the buildings historic fabric should be removed. However, trees and plant materials that must be removed should be immediately replaced by suitable flora. Front yard areas should not be fenced except in cases where historic documentation would indicate such fencing appropriate. Fencing should be in character with the buildings style, materials, and scale. 3. Prohibited No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing major landscaping items, trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings, and other elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and development. Front yard areas shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped. The installation of unsightly devices such as TV reception dishes and solar collectors shall not be permitted in areas where they can be viewed from public thoroughfares. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES, CHAPIN PARK: I. THE ENVIRONMENT A. The District Environment The Chapin Park Local Historic District is a particularly fine residential area located close to downtown South Bend, the St. Joseph River, Memorial Hospital and Leeper Park. This section is meant to protect and guide appropriate maintenance of the common areas of the district (i.e. visual landscape and streetscapes). Required Brick streets contribute greatly to the character of the neighborhood. These streets have always been essentially passenger car thoroughfares. The appointments of the streets (i.e. lighting, curbs, horse hitches and monuments) should contribute as much as possible to their architectural, historic and residential character. Retention and maintenance of existing brick streets in the district is required. Repair work to fill voids and gaps must utilize brick paver materials and acceptable installation methods whenever applicable. When utility work dictates the removal of street sections (pavers), the original materials will be reinstalled. Brick streets shall be patched with brick pavers. Concrete, asphalt, fillers and similar materials shall not be used. All original streetlights shall be maintained, especially the George Cutter "Park View" streetlights designed by Cutter Company for this neighborhood. Present efforts by the Neighborhood Association and the Historic Preservation Commission to restore "Park View" streetlights to the district shall continue. Any change in lighting must receive approval of the Historic Preservation Commission. New or different fencing requires a C of A and shall reflect the style and character of the individual property and the surrounding environment and properties. Recommended The current or historic character of lawns should be preserved. Front yard areas, common lawns and tree lawns should remain open. New or replacement trees should be compatible in variety with those presently growing. Vacant lots should be kept landscaped appropriately while vacant, and may be used for recreational or residential development. When replacement of utility poles or power supply lines is necessary, consideration should be given to underground conduits or utility poles erected along rear property lines. Prohibited Existing relationships of building and their environments shall not be destroyed by widening existing streets, applying asphalt or other • bituminous coverings or by introducing new streets or parking lots. Signs, streetlights, benches, new plant materials, fencing, walkways and paving materials which are out of scale or inappropriate to the neighborhood may not be used. The erection of high walls or barriers, which would alter the relationship of the houses, shall be prohibited. Utility poles with high intensity overhead lights shall not be used on main thoroughfares. B. BUILDING SITE, LANDSCAPING & ACCESSORIES This section focuses on individual properties and amenities. Building sites tend to be irregularly shaped, of varying topography and with • different setbacks with regard to plots. Alleys are generally behind houses. Landscape accessories like fences are unique to each structure. Chapin Place presents a unique situation within the district. Applications from properties that have property lines on Chapin Park will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Required Fencing, walkways, outbuildings, private yard lights, signs (i.e. house numbers) and benches (visible from the street) as well as trees located in a yard or tree lawn which reflect the property's history and development shall be retained. A tree located in such areas shall only be removed if the removal is required due to storm damage, disease, threatened damage to a structure or for such other reason acceptable to the Historic Preservation Commission. Storm damage or diseased trees should then be replaced with an approved species at the same or approximate location wherever possible. Fencing visible from the street in front of the structure shall be open (meaning spaces between the pickets) and consistent with the historic character of a structure enclosed. Recommended New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in photographs, drawings and newspapers. New site work should also be appropriate to existing surrounding site elements in scale, type and appearance. Front yard areas should remain open. (See above for information regarding fences.) Trees in close proximity to a building may cause structural damage. Owners are encouraged to remove these trees and replace (or replant) them at a more appropriate location as soon as planting season permits and upon approval of a C of A. Prohibited No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings or other elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and development. Front yard areas shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped, nor enclosed by solid fences, chain link, nor industrial I commercial style fences. The installation of unsightly large devices, such as television satellite dishes, skylights or solar panels, shall not be permitted in areas where they detract from the architecture of a building, are intrusive to the public view of the building or are highly visible from a public street, or ruled inappropriate after Commission review. Utility poles with high-intensity overhead lights should be installed so that they cannot be seen from a street. The Commission will evaluate all installations as well as any potential exceptions resulting from special circumstances, before granting a C of A. • STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The proposed fence is recommended for approval.

CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS 1. 1728 East Wayne St COA# 2018-0302 #7796-87 East Wayne Street Historic District Representation: Daniel Colleran, 1728 E Wayne St STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: March 8, 2018 Application Number: 2018-0302 Property Location: 1728 East Wayne Street Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Neo -Colonial / 1952 / "Parchem House" • Property Owner: Daniel and Elizabeth Colleran Landmark or District Designation: East Wayne Street Local Historic District, Ordinance #7796-87 Rating: Non -Contributing 1 DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: This Garrison Colonial Revival house is a 2 -story frame with rectangular frame. It has a gable roof, plain raking trim and asphalt shingles. The second floor overhangs at the front. The exterior fagade is wood shingles and flagstone. The windows are wood 2/2 double hung with horizontal lines and louvered shutters on the first story. There is a large picture window flanked by double hung 2/2 windows in a square bay extension at the front of the house. The entry is offset with a single door and wood screen, simple flush pilaster and entablature detail. The chimney is external and on the west side of the structure. A one-story shed addition is at the rear of the main house. There is a detached 2 -car garage at the rear of the property. ALTERATIONS: The concrete stoop previously had railings, but they were removed at some point. CoA 1998-0910 permitted the complete tear -off and re -roof of the structure. Ten original windows on the second story were replaced with 1/1 vinyl windows in January of 2018 without COA. COA 2018-0118 for "Window Replacement — leaking windows w/ lead paint" was denied. APPLICATION ITEMS: "1. Replace upstairs windows. 2. Replaced ground floor windows with special consideration for picture window on front for uniform look." DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Applicant seeks retroactive approval for ten second story windows with 1/1 double hung Pella Series 250 vinyl windows. Window installation completion is currently ceased until a COA is approved and building permit obtained, requiring additional trim and seal to complete the installation. Owner and staff have met to discuss options to replicate the 2/2 pattern of original windows; no feasible alternative is apparent. Applicant seeks proactive approval for the replacement of the wood 2/2 double -hung windows on the ground floor with 1/1 double hung Pella Series 250 vinyl windows. The large and prominent picture window on the front fagade will remain. SITE VISIT REPORT: N/A STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES, EAST WAYNE STREET: The East Wayne Street Local Historic District was established by an ordinance enacted by the Common Council of the City of South Bend in 1987 for the protection of the historic character of the neighborhood. Under the requirements of this ordinance, a Certificate of Appropriateness (CoA) is required for any activity in the district which requires a building permit or which alters • the appearance of a building or site. Painting of previously painted surfaces is released from this requirement and requires no approval. Consideration by the Historic Preservation Commission of proposed repairs or alterations is guided by the following set of guidelines which have been developed cooperation with neighborhood representatives and have been adopted by referendum of the district property owners. Note: The Guidelines selected by the East Wayne Street Local Historic District are (b2) — Rehabilitation. (b2) Rehabilitation Maintaining the existing character of the District, and whenever possible returning it to its original condition. Any rehabilitation would not require the removal of all non -original materials but would encourage the removal of all such materials which are incompatible with the defined elements of preservation for the District. The design of new construction or alteration would not require the duplication of the original design and construction, but should be compatible with the existing structures and the District's defined elements of preservation. The use of original materials or construction techniques would be encouraged, but contemporary methods and materials would be acceptable when compatible. C. WINDOWS AND DOORS Window and door frames are of wood or steel (some casements) or in the case of brick structures, stone sills and brick lintels. Where metal or vinyl siding has been applied, window trim has been covered. Storm windows are of wood or aluminum. Required Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods, and hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced with units and trim resembling the original. Recommended Wood frame storm windows and doors painted to match the original should be used but should not damage existing frames. new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design, and hardware should be used. When metal storm doors are used, they should be painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used they should be of canvas material. Prohibited Original doors, windows and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and re -used in place. New window and door openings which would alter the scale and proportion of the building shall not be introduced. Inappropriate new window and door features such as aluminum insulating glass combinations that require removal of the original windows and doors shall • not be installed. Not Recommended Awnings, hoods, and fake shutters made of metal, vinyl, or fiberglass should not be used if they would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Replacing the second story replacement windows with new 2/2 wood window replications is not economically viable. Staff recommends approval of this project as it will give a unified window style throughout the house that will deemphasize the replacement windows. Written by Adam Toering Historic Preservation Specialist Approved by Elicia Feasel Historic Preservation Administrator Commissioner Molnar made a motion to approve as submitted. Seconded by Commissioner Gordon. Two in favor, two opposed. Motion fails. Commissioner Gelfman made a motion to approve application #2018-0302 for the application of the items suggested of the replacement of the windows as they already are including retroactive. Seconded by Commissioner Gordon. Vote: 3 —1 Motion to approve COA#2018-0302 is passed. • COA 42018-0302 is approved. 2. 115 S Lafayette St COA# 2018-0220A #9082-2000 Local Landmark Representation: Wendell Simmons, Cassopolis, MI /Slatile STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: March 12, 2018 Application Number: 2018-0220A Property Location: 115 S Lafayette Boulevard Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Neo -Classical Commercial/1901-1903/H.G. Christman, builder Property Owner: City of South Bend Landmark or District Designation: Local Landmark, Ordinance #9082-2000; Downtown Multiple Resource National Register District; West Washington National Register District Rating: Notable DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: The Dean — Lafayette Building is South Bend's first commercial office building. Originally a three-story office building, two additional stories added in 1903 completed the present five story building. Structure is brick masonry with limestone and terra cotta details. Interior features a five -story atrium surrounded by balconies on three sides with an original skylight at the roof. Roof is flat with parapet wall with clay tile coping. ALTERATIONS: Windows are non -original metal 1/1 double hung. Inappropriate caulk -like material was used to repair mortar to exterior masonry. • APPLICATION ITEMS: Replace clay tile coping at parapet walls using Johns Manville Presto-Tite Edge One Fascia System. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The Dean — Lafayette Building has been vacant and neglected for many years under the previous ownership and is now under the stewardship of the City of South Bend. The structure is under an Emergency 3 Roof Repair order issued by Randy Wilkerson, Director of Code Enforcement, under the Indiana Unsafe Building Law IC 36-7- 9-9, see attached. Staff has issued a Routine Maintenance Exclusion, RME#2018-0220, to completely tear off and re -roof using in-kind replacement of deteriorated decking, joists/trusses, and membrane. New insulation, flashing, and drainage will be installed. Heavy duty tarping will be installed on the main skylight to produce a temporary watertight condition for roof 40 assembly. See attached RME. Application items: 1. Treatment of original clay tile Camelback-style coping at North, South, and West parapet: The RME includes an optimistic approval for preservation of the existing clay tile Camelback-style coping at parapet walls. Unfortunately, the original material is degraded in many areas and has experienced inappropriate repairs that may have exacerbated the degradation. The contractor will attempt to salvage as many tiles as possible but we anticipate a high percentage to be deteriorated beyond repair. The preference would be to restore the original tile to the North and South parapets using tile harvested from the West side. West (or rear) to be replaced with new John Manville Presto-Tite Edge One Fascia System. The new metal will have a 3 ''IV' high bullnose round face. Corners joined by a custom fabricated metal miter where the tile would be set over the new miter and the metal detail will sit over the top and mitered around the corner to meet the end of the tile cap. With the membrane underneath both details, the system will be watertight. . If the conclusion is that too many tiles are beyond repair, it would be cost prohibitive to replace in-kind. Under this circumstance, new Johns Manville Presto-Tite Edge One Fascia System as described above would be installed. 2. Small skylight: The small skylight is over an existing bathroom. It is void of any original glass and is deteriorated beyond repair. Although it could be replaced with a new product, the preference is to remove the skylight as it serves little purpose in this location and is a liability for water penetration. New joists, decking, and membrane will be installed as an extension of the new roof. 3. West (rear) chimney: The masonry is void of mortar in many areas and the bricks have spalled and in some cases, are missing altogether. Chimney is being held together only by chicken wire. To remedy the danger, reduce the height of the chimney approximately 14 courses to stability and install new cap. 4. Parapet cap at East (front) fagade: • The existing masonry coping that tops the upper portion of the building is degraded in many areas and has experienced inappropriate repairs that may have exacerbated the degradation. Options include re -pouring with a similar material or installing the same Johns Manville system as all other facades. SITE VISIT REPORT: N/A STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES. GROUP B Preservation Standards for historic landmarks are used by the Historic Preservation Commission whenever exterior changes are proposed for officially designated structures. Review is required when proposed plans for building and development indicate the architectural character of the landmark will be changed, i.e., review is required for any project that affects the exterior of the building, site, outbuildings, grounds and landscaping. These standards are an extension of the present Ordinance #5567-73 and #54A-973 already adopted to implement a comprehensive program of historic preservation. The present historic preservation ordinances empower the Commission to issue or deny a Certificate of Appropriateness prior to the construction, reconstruction, alteration, demolition, or moving of any landmark. The ordinance also gives the Commission the power to establish reasonable and just standards for the preservation of historic landmarks, including architectural treatment, site development and maintenance provisions, providing that the standards are in keeping with the intent of the ordinance and that the standards apply only to the exterior features of the historic landmark. These standards guide the commission in their review of Certificates of Appropriateness. The property owner is responsible for furnishing the Commission with a complete description of the proposed changes. This information may be plans, elevations, specifications, photographs, or other means to accurately describe the project. When an application is being reviewed, it will be the responsibility of the applicant to demonstrate that the new work is compatible. Definitions Shall—Defined as an expression of something that is mandatory or must be done. Should—Defined as an expression of obligation, something that ought to be done but that is open to compromise Required—Defined as work which shall be done in a restoration or rehabilitation project in order to restore or maintain the original or existing character of the structure or site.

The commission will require drawings, plans, specifications, and/or samples where appropriate. A. Maintenance The maintenance of any historical structure or site shall in no way involve any direct physical change except for the general cleaning and upkeep of the landmark. The Commission shall encourage the proper maintenance of all structure or sites. B. Treatment Treatment shall be defined as any change of surface materials that will not alter the style or original form. Such improvements include re -roofing, glazing, or landscaping lawns and may involve a change that can potentially enhance or detract from the character of the landmark. A treatment change of any surface whether on the landmark or in its environment may require a Certificate of Appropriateness if it significantly alters the appearance of the landmark. Although these kinds of changes may not require a Building Permit, a Certificate of Appropriateness may be necessary. The commission should review the proposed treatment for character and style consistency with the original surfaces. C. Renovation and Additions Renovation is the modification of a structure, which does not alter the general massing while an addition, is a change in mass. A modification, which involves the removal of a part of the landmark, should be considered under demolition (see demolition). Additions to landmarks should not detract from the original form and unity of the landmark and should not cover singular examples of architectural detail. Additions to landmarks should be added in a manner that does not disrupt the visible unity of overall appearance of the site. The proportions, materials and ratios of the existing structures should be carried through in the additions. Care should be taken not to change or alter the following: 1. Structure—Necessary structural improvements, where safety demands should be accomplished in such a way as to cause minimal visual change to the original style and construction. 2. Material—Additions and improvements involving any new material in the landmark should be of the same material as the original. It should be the same size and texture. An alternative material may be allowed if it duplicates the original. a. wood—all wood trim should conform with existing trim in shape and size. b. siding materials—the Commission discourages the covering or alteration of original materials with additional siding. Structures already sided with incompatible materials should be returned to a siding similar to the original when renovation is considered. 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 be made 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. E. Moving The moving of landmarks is discouraged, however, moving is preferred to demolition. When moving s necessary, the owner of the landmark must apply to the Commission for a Certificate of Appropriateness. F. Signs No neon or flashing signs will be permitted unless they are original to the structure. Billboards and super -graphics will also be disallowed. Only one appropriate identifying sign will be permitted per business. G. Building Site and Landscaping 1. Required Major landscaping items, trees, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house numbers) and benches which reflect the property's history and development shall be retained. Dominant land contours shall be retained. Structures such as: gazebos, patio decks, fixed barbecue pits, swimming pools, tennis courts, green houses, new walls, fountains, fixed garden furniture, trellises, and other similar structures shall be compatible to the historic character of the site and neighborhood and inconspicuous when viewed from a public way. 2. Recommended New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in photographs, drawings, and newspapers. Plant materials and trees in close proximity to the building that are causing deterioration to the buildings historic fabric should be removed. However, trees and plant materials that must be removed should be immediately replaced by suitable flora. Front yard areas should not be fenced except in cases where historic documentation would indicate such fencing appropriate. Fencing should be in character with the buildings style, materials, and scale. 3. Prohibited No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing major landscaping items, trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings, and other elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and development. Front yard areas shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped. The installation of unsightly devices such as TV reception dishes and solar collectors shall not be permitted in areas where they can be viewed from public thoroughfares. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff accepts that the roof and roof components are deteriorated and necessitate major repair, and therefore favorably recommends approval. Staff requests the Commission remand authority to make minor decisions where contingencies exist and decisions needed acted upon with urgency. 5 Written by Elicia Feasel Historic Preservation Administrator • Public Discussion: Brendan Crumlish, 1091 Riverside — Is the chimney functional?

Replace the front door with a left -swing Mastercraft ® ME -214 Memphis 36" wide by 80" high primed white steel rectangular Top -Lite Prehung exterior door (a second door option was also included in the application packet). On December 7th, 2017, Whitney Griffin of the St. Joseph County Health Department supplied Risk Assessment Report #RA000012500 to the property owners of 1312 Lincoln Way East regarding the lead risk assessment that was conducted at that address on October 20th, 2017. In compliance with Indiana Administrative Code Title 410, IAC 29 Reporting Monitoring and Prevention of Lead Poisoning, lead hazards identified therein were to be remediated within sixty days of the receipt of the report. All hazards not completely remediated within (180) days of the notice are to be referred to the county attorney for legal action. The 28 -page report (with additional images and schematics) indicates the location, specific building component, laboratory test results, remediation options, and instructions for each hazardous area identified. For reference: 60 days after the receipt of the risk assessment would be February 5, 2018. 180 days after the receipt of the risk assessment would be June 5, 2018. The report finds elevated levels of lead throughout and outside of the house, and necessitates that the homeowner pursue interim and/or abatement measures, including: A. Windows INTERIM CONTROLS: 1. Remove all chipping and peeling paint, stabilize paint. ABATEMENT: 1. Completely replace components with a lead free building component, as noted below. 2. Encapsulate the component with a paint encapsulant. B. Door INTERIM CONTROLS: 1. Remove all chipping and peeling paint, stabilize paint. ABATEMENT: 1.

Enclose the component with a barrier completely preventing access. Noted below' in the original text indicates the manner and means through which lead -safe work practices should be executed. SITE VISIT REPORT: February 21, 2017 At approximately 5 pm I met with the owners of the property located at 1312 LWE at the property. They had informed me of the desire to change out windows, repair the front porch, and paint the exterior of the property this year. Starting with the porch; the decking is rotted in the main traffic area between the steps and the front door. Patch repairs have been made just to improve approach, but a tear off needs to happen and new material installed to increase safety. The railings have been toe -nailed into place with some repairs as well. The railings are currently 2x4 with 2x2 spindles. The railings need to be replaced with rails that have proper design to allow water to roll over and of and clearance for water to run off of porch. The paint which is only a few years old is peeling considerably all on its own. There are no vents on either the faces of the house nor the soffits. Areas of the cedar shake closer to the peaks are curling off the house as a result of this lack of ventilation. The windows are in varied condition of wear and repair. Eight (8) of the exterior sills are rotted completely through. I can bare handed squeeze them and they come apart. Due to the failure of the window sills the jambs and frames are need of structural repairs. Six (6) non -original windows on the rear and west side of the house were improperly installed and fitted poorly. Most (75%) of the upper sashes in the main and second floor (original windows) are in repairable shape although painted shut and slipped down. Unfortunately, most of the bottom sashes, and sills are dry rotted and should be replaced. The majority of the windows are deteriorated beyond repair as a result of the failed sills, deteriorating jambs, and structural adjustments that need to be performed to the frames themselves. Steve Szaday Preservation Inspector STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES. LINCOLN WAY EAST: (D) GUIDELINE COMPONENTS Statements within the guidelines which specify the requirements and recommendations for the preservation of the characteristic relationships of the various features which are of significance to the appearance of the Local Historic District. "Shall" is defined as an expression of something that is mandatory or must be done. "Should" is defined as an expression of obligation, something that ought to be done but that is open to compromise. • II. EXISTING STRUCTURES A. Building Materials Wall materials in the District range from brick, clapboard, decorative shingles and asphalt and asbestos siding to aluminum siding. In the majority of cases the aluminum siding has been applied over the original clapboard. Required Original exterior building materials shall be retained. Deterioration of wood materials shall be prevented through repair, cleaning and painting. The existing or original architectural detail around windows, porches, doors and eaves should be retained or • replaced by replicas of the same design and materials when deteriorated beyond repair. Masonry structures shall be maintained, repointed and properly cleaned when necessary. Masonry shall be cleaned only when necessary to halt deterioration or to remove stains and shall be done with the gentlest method possible, such as low-pressure water and soft natural bristle brushes. No chemicals, sandblasting or other invasive methods may be used to clean historic buildings. Stucco surfaces shall be maintained by cleaning and repainting when necessary. When repairing Stucco, a stucco mixture shall be used. Recommended Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored. Aluminum or vinyl siding may be used when it is the only feasible alternative to maintaining the original surface material. When used on wood surfaces, this siding should be the same size and style as the original wood. However, it must be noted that such material can contribute to the deterioration of the structure form moisture and insects. Mortar joints should be repointed only when there is evidence of moisture problems or when sufficient mortar is missing to allow water to stand in the mortar joint. Existing mortar shall be duplicated in composition, color, texture, joint size, method of application and joint profile. It is emphasized that, prior to initiating any restoration or rehabilitation effort, the property owner contact the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend & St. Joseph County at 125 Lafayette, South Bend. The Commission is an invaluable source of information about all facets of rehabilitation and restoration. C. Windows and Doors Window and door frames, in nearly all cases, are wood. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels. Where metal or vinyl siding has been applied, window trim has been covered. Storm windows are of wood or aluminum. Windows are typically wood double -hung or metal casements. Required Existing or 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 or existing. Recommended Wood frame storm windows and doors painted to match the original should be used but should not damage existing frames and should be removable. If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design and hardware should be used When metal storm windows and doors are used, they should be painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used they should be of canvas material. Prohibited • Original doors, windows and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and re -used in place. New window and door openings which would alter the scale and proportion of the building shall not be introduced. Inappropriate new window and door features such as aluminum insulating glass combinations that require the removal of the original windows and doors shall not be installed. Not Recommended Awnings, hoods and fake shutters made of metal, vinyl, or fiberglass should not be used if they would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building. VI. ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES Enforcement of the preservation guidelines for the historic district is made possible in the Zoning Ordinance of South Bend, ordinance No. 5565-73. The Historic Preservation Commission shall issue a Certificate of Appropriateness before commencement of any construction, reconstruction, alteration, demolition or moving of any house or structure within the historic district boundaries (see Appendix A). This ordinance, however, does not prevent the ordinary maintenance and repair of any building or structure which does not involve a change in any exterior feature, nor does it prevent the reconstruction, alteration, demolition or moving of any building or structure which the Building Commissioner or other official has determined to be a hazard to public safety. The Historic Preservation Commission will accept applications for Certificates of Appropriateness only from the property owner. Property owners wishing to do, or have done, any work affecting the exterior of their building or land must apply directly to the Historic Preservation Commission on the form prescribed by the Commission (see Appendix A). The Commission will review the application and either issue a Certificate of Appropriateness or else deny the application, stating in writing the reasons for such denial. Upon such denial, the applicant may appeal to the Common Council. In making its determination, the Historic Preservation Commission shall consider three factors: first, appropriateness of the proposed work to the preservation of the building and district; second, the detriment to the public welfare if the proposed work is permitted even though it is not deemed appropriate; third, the potential hardship that the denial of the Certificate of Appropriateness would cause the applicant. 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 10 the Common Council for a continuance of any such delay in accordance with the same procedure as for the initial petition. 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. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff accepts the windows have deteriorated beyond repair and necessitate replacement, and therefore favorably recommends the overall purpose of this application. The Standards and Guidelines state that if "new sashes and doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design, and hardware should be used." Staff interprets this as stating that wood should be used in lieu of some alternative material, and would request that wood window products be researched by the property owner. Staff requests the Commission remand authority to Staff to approve alternative wooden windows options, were the applicant be amenable to pursuing alternatives. Were those alternatives found to be cost prohibitive for the applicant, staff would recommend approval of the project as submitted. Staff recommends that the diamond pattern "Prairie glazing" window be retained. Written by Adam Toering Historic Preservation Specialist Approved by Elicia Feasel Historic Preservation Administrator Commissioner Molnar made a motion to approve COA #2018-0309 as submitted. Motion failed without second. Commissioner Gelfman made a motion for application #2018-0309 to remand the decision to our staff for the authority to approve alternative wooden window options were the applicant be amenable to pursuing alternatives. If that is not the case, and it is found to be cost • prohibitive for the applicant, then the staff would recommend approval of the project as submitted. Seconded by Commissioner Molnar. Four in favor, none opposed. Vote: 4 — 0. Motion to approve COA #2018-0309 is passed. Application COA #2018-0309 is remanded to staff for approval unanimously. 5. 651 River Avenue COA# 2018-0309A #6846-80 Edgewater Local Historic District No representation. STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: March 7, 2018 Application Number: 2018-0309A Property Location: 651 River Avenue Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Gabled -ell / 1889 / "Oliver and Catherine Brown Residence" • Property Owner: Charles Beatty Landmark or District Designation: Edgewater Place Local Historic District, Ordinance #6846-80 Rating: Contributing 11 DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: This two-story gabled -ell is irregular in construction and sits on a concrete block foundation. The brick chimney is centrally located. The first story is clapboard and the second story is wood shingles. The roof is gabled with composition shingles. The street -facing side has a second -story portico with wrought iron supports. Openings • were originally single -leaf glazed wood. Screens and storms are present on many of the windows, but not all. ALTERATIONS: The second story was added in 1940. A small ground floor addition was added to the rear of the main structure (believed to have been added after 1980). Multiple windows have been replaced on the structure since the most recent Sites and Structures survey. APPLICATION ITEMS: "Repair, install windows due to deteriorated & rotting." DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The Building Department notified the property owner on February 81h, 2018 of known violations of the City of South Bend Zoning Ordinance, specifically: The failure to obtain an improvement location permit when one is required by the terms and provisions of this Ordinance, §21-1069(2), specifically the installation of windows without application forpermit, or Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) from Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). VIOLATIONREMEDY Acquire COA from HPC and make subsequent application for applicable permits. Applicant seeks retroactive approval for the installation of 2 vinyl 6/6 Jeldwen Builders (V-2500) Series windows in place of previous wooden windows. The subject windows are on the north/northwest side of the second floor of the structure. The original windows were 8/8 wood double hung windows. Both new windows are 36" x 41" SITE VISIT REPORT: Date: March 7, 2018 I met with the homeowner on Monday, March 5 at 2 pm at the property. He allowed me to enter and photograph the windows throughout the house. The structure is oriented so that the front of the house faces Northeast. To better clarify the windows that have been changed and those that still remain or need to be changed, I will do a side by side breakdown. • Northeast (front) • first story has a three-part bay window with a transom above. The original storms, center window and transom remain, but the side windows are non -original • second story has a three-part bay window with a curved transom above. The original storms remain for the side windows, the center window is a fixed pane, and the side windows have been changed to non -original aluminum windows Northwest (right side if facing front of house) • first story has five double hung vinyl replacement windows with grids 6/6 pattern and one fixed window in the rear addition • second story has two original double hung wood windows with 8/8 pattern and original wood storm windows. Three panes are broken and are heavily painted but have intact ropes on the lower sash, upper sashes were painted shut. There are also two vinyl double hung replacement windows with 6/6 pattern Southeast (left side if facing front of house) • first story has one original wood double hung window with 1/1 pattern including original storm that is fastened shut and one vinyl double hung 6/6 pattern window • second story has one original wood double hung window with 1/1 pattern including original storm (this window has had poorly fitting aluminum tension rails installed to replace the weights, this window does not function and sits very loose in jamb) There are three vinyl double hung replacement windows with 6/6 pattern. There is also a small fixed hexagonal window. Southwest (rear) • first story has three original wood double hung windows with original storms and one fixed window in the kitchen addition Overall, the remaining original windows do need repair including re -roping, glazing, and even sill replacement on the northwest side. The southeast side window with the aluminum tension rails may be in repairable condition, but the damage to the jambs may not be repairable.

Deterioration of wood materials shall be prevented through repair., cleaning, and painting. [... ] C. WINDOWS AND DOORS 18 Window and door frames are in nearly all cases wood. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels; masonry block structures have masonry sills and lintels. In some cases where aluminum siding has been applied window trim has been covered. About half of the structures in the district have aluminum storm windows, the other half wood storm windows. Required Original windows and doors including sash, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods, and hardware shall be retained or when deteriorated beyond repair, replaced with duplicates of the existing or original. Recommended Wood frame storm windows and doors, painted to match the existing or original, should be used but should not damage existing frames and should be removable in the future. If new sash and doors are used, the existing or original, design, and hardware should be used. When metal storm doors are used, they should be painted anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used they should be of canvas material. Prohibited Existing or original doors, windows, and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and re -used in place. New window and door openings which would alter the scale and proportion of the building should not be introduced. Inappropriate new window and door features such as aluminum insulating glass combinations that require the removal of the original windows and doors shall not be installed. Not Recommended Metal, vinyl, or fiberglass awnings, hoods, and fake shutters that would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building should not be used. IV. SAFETY AND BUILDING CODES A. BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS Required Building code requirements shall be complied with in such a manner that the existing character of the building is preserved. Recommended Local building code officials should be consulted to investigate alternative life safety measures that will preserve the architectural integrity of the structure. Variances for historical properties should be investigated. Prohibited • Construction of new stairways and elevators that would alter important architectural features and spaces is prohibited. Not Recommended Fire prevention equipment should not damage the appearance or fabric of the building. VI. ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES Enforcement of the preservation guidelines for the historic district is made possible in the Zoning Ordinance of South Bend, ordinance No. 5565-73. The Historic Preservation Commission shall issue a Certificate of Appropriateness before any construction, reconstruction, alteration, demolition or moving of any house or structure within the historic district boundaries is commenced (see Appendix A). This ordinance, however, does not prevent the ordinary maintenance and repair of any building or structure which does not involve a change in any exterior feature, nor does it prevent the reconstruction, alteration, demolition, or moving of any building or structure which the Building Commissioner or other official has determined to be a hazard to public safety. The Historic Preservation Commission will accept applications for Certificate of Appropriateness only from the property owner. Property owners wishing to do or have done any work affecting the exterior of their building or land must apply directly to the Historic Preservation Commission on the form prescribed by the Commission (see Appendix A). The Commission will review the application and either issue a Certificate of Appropriateness or else deny the application, stating in writing the reasons for such a denial. Upon such denial the applicant may appeal to the Common Council. In making its determination, the Historic Preservation Commission, shall consider three factors: first, appropriateness of the proposed work to the preservation of the building and district; second, the detriment to the public welfare if the proposed work is permitted even though it is not deemed appropriate; third, the potential hardship that the denial of the Certificate of Appropriateness would cause the applicant. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This structure has had repeated modification without Certificate of Appropriateness. Of the original wood double -hung windows, only seven (7) remain and are in varying states of disrepair. Staff recommends the property owner continue conversations with Historic Preservation to determine long-term window rehabilitation / replacement plans in advance of future work. As to the particulars of this application, Staff offers no recommendation. The condition of the original windows may be partially inferred from the photos supplied by the applicant (and compared to the photos taken by the Preservation Inspector), but no definitive condition report is possible to make a favorable recommendation. • 13 Written by Adam Toering Historic Preservation Specialist Approved by Elicia Feasel Historic Preservation Administrator Commissioner Gordon made a motion to continue until the next meeting to allow for the attendance of the applicant.

(B) Basement entry relay repaired + washed out, corner reset + tuckpointed." DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Applicant seeks a Certificate of Appropriateness for repairs to the brick and concrete porch that wraps around the south, east, and portions of the north faces of the main structure. The porch is constructed with 16" thick brick walls supporting a concrete deck reinforced with railroad ties. A decorative limestone coping rims the porch. The seam between the limestone coping and the concrete surface has allowed for water penetration into the brick veneer and superstructure, significantly undermining its structural integrity and exposing the cavity beneath the concrete deck in some areas. The Corinthian column and piers (of both the front and side porches) will be addressed in this project — and, depending on condition upon removal and assessment, either refurbished and re -installed, or replaced with fiberglass column shafts / caps / bases as needed. Landscaping surrounding the deck will need to be removed to allow unfettered access to the structure for the porch renovation work and to allow for the installation of the scaffolding necessary to support the pediment during the column reconstruction / replacement. Please see detailed reports from Keller Engineering and specific contractors for further specifications. The intention is for the Is outcome to be as much of the original look and material as possible. SITE VISIT REPORT: On March 8, 2017 at approximately 2 pm I visited the house located at 201 W Northshore. I was given permission to enter the grounds via text by one of the owners (Jo Broden). I had visited the property to assess various areas of the structure in May of 2016 with then Deputy Director Deb Parcell. We had worked with the owner to develop a plan of repair that had four areas: the roof, the overhangs/soffits, the foundation/porch, and the trees. The owner would apply for each of these areas as timing and funds would allow. To date, the roof repairs, overhangs/soffits, and tree removals have all been applied for, approved, and either completed or almost completed. (the wood details of the porte-cochere are still in process). The roof and gutter issues that existed previously as well as the uneven settling of the structure have caused the elements to permeate at different locations around the house. The poured concrete porch floor is now lower than the caps above the brick walls causing a gap between the fagade brick wall and the support layer behind it. Elements have entered, washed out some of the fill and have separated the two walls causing various stages of sheering and collapse. Photographs taken that day as well as those provided by the owner's contractor will support this. The loose material should be removed, the columns and supports stabilized, then the material re -installed in a manner that allows the elements to flow away from the structure. Either through manipulation of pitch or drains. Re -alignment and mortar repairs are needed in various areas of the structure including the sets of stairs to and from the eastern porch, the rear doors (knee walls), the former western porch, and areas where there are bricks missing. Steve Szaday Historic Preservation Inspector Code Enforcement STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: L BASIC STRUCTURAL MATERIALS AND ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES Preferred: Retain and maintain the original exterior building material. Frame Structures: Repair, repaint, and / or clean siding to deter deterioration. Masonry Structures: Tuckpoint brick and stone, repair stucco and repaint trim, stucco and brick (if painted) to deter deterioration. Retain and maintain architectural detail of structures such as wrought iron, tile, brackets, etc., or replace when necessary with similar material in texture, size and appearance. • Permitted: If vinyl or aluminum siding is the only economic solution to a deteriorating frame house, architectural detail must be visually preserved. The siding used should match the original in style, width, and lap as closely as possible. Prohibited: Do not use asbestos or asphalt siding on frame structures. Do not use artificial brick or cast stone siding on brick, masonry, stucco, or frame structures. Do not sandblast or use harsh detergents in cleaning brick, masonry or stucco. 15 II. STRUCTURES A. ROOFS Preferred: Keep the original shape of the roof. Retain the original roofing material. A special effort should be made to do this • when the roof in question is of tile, slate, or some other unique material not usually found today. Preserve or replace all architectural features which give the roof its character, such as dormer windows, cupolas, cornices, brackets, chimneys, cresting, weathervanes, and special eaves. Permitted: When necessary to replace roofing material, match the original as closely as possible in size, shape and texture. Prohibited: Do not add, remove, or alter features which will change its character or the architectural character of the house. C. PORCHES AND STEPS WHICH ARE READILY VISIBLE FROM THE STREET Preferred: Retain and maintain porches and steps including hand rails, balusters, columns, brackets, roof decoration, tile, and brick. If porches and / or steps are enclosed for heat conservation or other reasons, it should be done in a manner that does not destroy the architectural nor historical character of the home. Permitted: Replace porches and steps with materials matching the original as closely as possible. A cement porch floor is permitted for the structure on Lot 12. Prohibited: Porches and steps that are appropriate to the style of the house shall not be removed. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff accepts that the porches have deteriorated and necessitate major repair, and therefore favorably recommends the overall purpose of this application. Staff makes no recommendation at this time regarding replacement of Corinthian columns and piers due to the unknown ability to preserve original. Staff requests the Commission remand authority to make minor decisions where contingencies exist and decisions needed acted upon with urgency.
