Window are wood 1/1 double hung with aluminum storm windows. Exterior walls are clad in vinyl siding. The house has multiple gables with returns and a shed dormer in the rear. ALTERATIONS: COA #2009-1005C removed a Linden Tree in the tree lawn as well as called for the trimming of the remaining trees, per the city forester's recommendation. COA #2011-0809 allowed for the repair of the flat roof and flashing on the north side of the structure. COA #2013-0607 allowed for the replacement of the 3' cedar picket fence using in-kind material and the original posts. APPLICATION ITEMS: "I request permission to tear down a collapsing deck addition to side of house back from the street. I also request permission to replace it with a low -profile wooden or composite deck, [not visible from?] • the street. The house has siding so no historical character is being affected, and so I request permission [...] See attached from contractor. Photo from side of house where deck located. Steve Szaday [... ]" From attached documents: "We will remove an unsafe and deteriorating deck/ pergola type structure on the side of your home exiting the kitchen area. We will build a new 16' x 16' deck of treated wood material, one step down from your home's floor level to put the deck closer to the ground, to avoid the requirement of a new handrailing." DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Applicant seeks a Certificate of Appropriateness for the removal and reconstruction of the deck and the rear of the property. The current deck and pergola will be removed and be replaced by a new deck that will be lower to the ground and will, according to the design description, be minimally visible from the street. The replacement deck will not have a pergola attached above it, and will therefore be even less visible than the present structure. Six new post holes will be dug to a depth of approximately 3' for the installation of six 6"x6" posts set in concrete. Beams, joists, and decking will be installed to create the deck surface approximately 12" above the current yard surface. Overall size of the new deck will be 16' x 16'. The contractor has provided an option for the installation of Fiberon Horizon Decking. Fiberon Horizon products are constructed of approximately 40% wood (wood fiber, wood dust or wood flour) and 60% Polyethylene. Applicant is interested in using composite materials for their lifespan, but is amenable to using traditional wood products. PRESERVATION INSPECTOR REPORT: February 27, 2018 • This morning I was contacted by Karen the owner of 802 Forest in regards to the deck attached to the structure at 802 Forest. She was taking quotes for replacement or rebuild. She requested an opinion if this needed to come down and if it had to be rebuilt the same way or just the footprint remain the same. I deferred her questions to Adam Toering about the application specifications but I quoted the Chapin Park Standards and Guidelines from the guidebook. I went and photographed the deck after I received permission from the owner to be able to enter the property. The angle iron base structure is rusted through. The wood decking has collapsed in areas due to the deterioration of the angle iron. There seems to have been a concrete pad patio at one time where the deck is now. Perforated metal corner pieces are bolted to concrete footers that are on top of the concrete pad. The metal risers for the deck are then bolted onto these risers. Both the risers and metal angles are rusted through and most have some movement. The bases of the wood posts on the deck have also sustained considerable water damage. The additional weight of the pergola has aided in the demise of the deck as a whole. Wooden 4x4 posts sit under the deck and serve as supports under each post that sits above the deck. This has lead to the deterioration of the post bases and pooling of water around those bases. The deck and pergola are built separately from the house but has been lag bolted to the house. I walked on part of the deck and was fine but felt the deck give to my weight toward the south west corner of the deck. Steve Szaday Historic Preservation Inspector, Code Enforcement STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: CHAPIN PARK General Definitions (B) PRESERVATION GUIDELINES (W) 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. 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. C. SHEDS AND ACCESSORY BUILDINGS Required Sheds and accessory structures (gazebos, decks, doghouses, playhouses, fountains and small reflecting pools, outdoor sculpture, children's play equipment, etc.) shall be located at the rear of the property and as unobtrusively as possible while preserving historical relationships between the buildings, landscape features and open spaces. Proportions and materials shall conform to those required for new construction. Recommended Accessory building designs should be compatible in character and mood to the residence and the neighborhood. Prohibited Prefabricated metal sheds shall not be used. Not Recommended Prefabricated wood composition sheds should not be used unless they conform to all other guidelines and standards. 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.

For electronically submitted application, payment must reach the HPC office within 48 -hours following transmission. REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION AND SITE PLANS The Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County cannot render judgment nor process an Application without specific documentation. Comprehensive documentation protects both the owner of the property submitting the Application as well as providing a complete understanding of the project for the commissioners and staff when rendering a decision. Problems often occur during a project review or during the execution of the project when one or both parties are unclear as to the specifics. Applications will NOT be processed without all required fees and documentation. When an Application has been scheduled for any meeting where a review and decision are to be rendered, the owner and any architect or contractor (s) retained for the project must attend such meetings. Failure by the owner, architect, or contractor to attend such meetings may result in denial of the Application due to insufficient presentation. Documentation shall include: detailed written description of the project including materials to be used, scale, dimen- sions, construction methods, finished, manufacturers' brochures and specifications and photographs of the area (s) which the project will affect. • Photographs may be submitted in digital format, or in photographic print.

INSPECTION AUTHORITY All projects will be inspected during and following execution, for compliance with the decision (s) rendered by the Historic Preservation Commission ofSouth Bend and St. Joseph County. Owner acknowledges that while the Historic Preservation Commission only considers Certificates of Appropriateness for exterior features, under certain circumstances it may be necessary for the Commission Staff to have access to the interior of the building in order to accurately assess the condition of the exterior feature and that the lack of access to the interior may prevent the Commission Staff from malting a favorable recommendation. Any work performed on a historic landmark or in an historic district which does not conform to the Certificate of Ap- propriateness certificate, shall be immediately halted by the Historic Preservation Commission and the Building De- partment of South Bend and St. Joseph County. INTERGOVERNMENTAL DISCLOSURE Certificates Of Appropriateness will be filed with the Building Department of South Bend and St. Joseph County when the applicant also is required to obtain a building permit or other such permit issued by that department. (The appli- cant may pick up their Certificate at that location). When no building or other permits are required from the Build- ing Department, the Certificate will be mailed directly to the applicant. 0 • April 10, 2018 Ms. Karen Graubart 802 Forest Ave South Bend, IN 46616 Dear Karen, At Peacock & Company, our goal is to provide high-quality, full service remodeling that meets or exceeds your expectations. This detailed proposal outlines all aspects of your remodel. We believe that spelling out all of the details on the front end leads to clearer expectations, timely completion and a much smoother process for everyone. The following are critical areas that are included in our construction process that are often overlooked and/or not considered when deciding on a • remodeling project. 1. Communication In order to ensure a successful project, we believe in open communication between you, the homeowner, and all members of the Peacock and Company team, particularly the Project Manager. In remodeling, there will be questions that arise and/or decisions to make and it is imperative that we can communicate promptly and effectively. While this proposal strives to be comprehensive of all the work required to complete your project as described, at times there are unforeseen challenges or changes that you wish to make. To ensure clear communication, any additional costs, including changes at the owner's request, or hidden structural elements, mechanical deficiencies, etc. will be executed only upon a written Change Order signed by the customer, agreeing to the additional cost. Initial Date 2. Start-up Meeting A pre -construction meeting will be held on site before we begin the job. The meeting will cover: • An introduction to your Project Manager and our Production Manager. • The Start Up Meeting Planning Document that we ask you to complete prior to our meeting. • The detailed proposal to ensure that everyone is clear on all aspects of the project. • Any questions that you may have. • Key/Entry preferences. • A tentative schedule for the project. 3. Project Management • Our agreement includes on-site coordination of the project by a Peacock & Company Project Manager/Lead Carpenter, who will be your main point of contact during the project. The project manager is responsible for: • Keeping you informed of all of the elements of the project • • Maintaining control of the subcontractors and the schedule. • Communicating with you to ensure that the project is meeting your expectations. 4. Project Preparation and Care We understand the stress that remodeling can bring, and we pride ourselves on respecting your home and maintaining a clean job site. The job site will be: • Prepared with protective floor covering in traffic areas of construction to keep your home free off damage and sealed off as appropriate to minimize dust and mess. • Kept clean and orderly each day. • Swept daily. • Cleared of demolition debris weekly and all extra materials upon completion. • Initial Date • 5. Project Satisfaction We aren't finished until you are satisfied. Prior to completion you will be asked to fill out a "punch list" with any items in the project that need attention. Completion of this punch list will give your agreement that the project is complete. We provide a 2 -year warranty on workmanship and materials used to build your project. Upon completion of your project, you will receive a survey, via email, from Guild Quality. The values we strive to demonstrate in our work with you are: communication, construction quality, organized and professional, integrity, reliability, care and teamwork. We rely on the Guild Quality Survey to get your valuable feedback on how we demonstrated these values. Completing this survey helps us measure of how we did. It's our basis for rewarding employees, addressing development opportunities and measuring our success. It's our "report card" and your input is critical to us. Description of Project We will remove an unsafe and deteriorating deck/ pergola type structure on • the side of your home exiting the kitchen area. We will build a new 16' x 16' deck of treated wood material, one step down from your home's floor level to put the deck closer to the ground, to avoid the requirement of a new handrailing. • Removals Remove deck to include decking, pergola posts, open roof structure, and the metal frame work supporting the deck boards. Excavation/ Foundation Dig for 6 post holes approx. 3' deep, pour concrete in bottom. Framing Install 6" x 6" (6) in the new post holes. Build two beams from treated 2" x 10". Install ledger board at house, set new treated 2" x 10" joists perpendicular to beams every 16" on center. Joist hangers where joists attach to ledger board. Initial Date Decking • Install treated deck boards perpendicular to joists. Deck boards attached to joists with deck screws, drilled through the deck board surface. No band boards. No painting or staining. Miscellaneous Construction may begin in June or July and will take approximately 1-2 weeks to complete. Deck is proposed with no hand rail, with the deck surface to be at approx. 12" above the dirt of your yard. Proposal is contingent on approval from Historic Preservation Commission. Our opinion is that your existing pergola structure is unsafe and should be removed before someone becomes injured. It is not original to the house and not in keeping with the age of the home. Project Price: $ 5,371.00 Homeowner Initial Designer Initial Option #1: Composite Decking • Instead of the treating decking surface proposed, we will supply and install new Fiberon Horizon Decking, Color TBD from standard offering. The composite deck will feature a hidden fastener and a perimeter band board to conceal the cut edges of the deck.

Thank you for considering Peacock & Company, we look forward to working for you and with you. Sincerely, Nick Donovan Designer Peacock & Company n Initial Date P OCK Peacock & Company Standard Policy • AND COMPANY All work shall be completed in a workmanlike manner according to standard building codes and practices. All labor and materials are fully warranted for two years from completion and final payment. AU alterations or changes to the above proposal involving additional costs, including changes at the owner's request or hidden structural elements, mechanical deficiencies, or items that do not meet code shall be executed only upon the signing of a written change order by the customer agreeing to pay additional costs. Please be aware that hidden structural defects uncovered during the demolition phase must be repaired for project completion. Additional labor will be billed at $45.00 per hour; materials and subcontractors at cost plus 30% to cover handling, arrangement and coordination. The terms of any change order(s) may not coincide with the terms of the original agreement, while it is treated as an addition to the original agreement. Any excess, allowance items that are non -returnable, special order items will be included in allowance totals. This usually occurs when an item needs to be rounded up to a case quantity (as is common with tile). Final balance upon completion payment overrides small, speciallcustom ordered items that are not received at the time of final invoice. An interest rate of 2% will be applied toward all unpaid balances (24% APR). The customer is responsible for the cost of moving any utilities (electric, gas lines, meters) or • installed systems (burglar alarms, sprinklers, etc.) if required unless exactly noted in the attached proposal. All agreements are contingent upon weather, strikes, accidents or delays beyond our control. While we pride ourselves on remaining on schedule, please be aware that this is not always possible. The customer is responsible to carry fire, tornado, and other necessary insurance. All Peacock & Co. employees are fully covered under Workman's Compensation Insurance. During the course of the project we may be taking pictures and we would like permission to use them in our display books and marketing efforts. We would also like to put up a "PEACOCK & CO." yard sign. The sign is designed to help inspectors, delivery trucks and subcontractors to locate the site, thus avoiding unnecessary delays. The sign also allows us to let passersby know just how proud we are of the work we do and that you have entrusted us to work on your home. Indiana Code 32-27-3 section 12. (a). states that the following notice must be conspicuous and may be included as part of the underlying agreement signed by the homeowner. "IC 32-27-3 contains important requirements you must follow before you may file a lawsuit for defective construction against the contractor or builder of your home. Sixty (60) days before you file your lawsuit, you must deliver to the contractor or builder, a written notice of any • Initial Date • Construction conditions you allege are defective and provide your contractor or builder the opportunity to make an offer to repair or pay for the defects. You are not obligated to accept any offer made by the builder or contractor. However, if you unreasonably reject a reasonable written offer and commence an action against the builder or contractor, a court may award attorney's fees and costs to the builder or contractor. There are strict deadlines and procedures under state law, and failure to follow them may affect your ability to file a lawsuit." Signing of the Peacock & Co. Standard policy acknowledges understanding and agreement to comply with its attached proposal, terms and conditions, and grants permission for the above stated marketing applications.

Because of the way the existing structure is built (and is collapsing), it cannot be repaired. I would like to tear it down and build a very low profile deck that will not be visible from the street, in accordance with Chapin Park policy. I attach the application, a plan drawn up by Peacock and Co according to my understanding of the Commission's rules, and a photo I took yesterday from the street. Steve Szaday might have additional photos. I put a check in the mail today. Thanks for your assistance with this.

Foundation is rock - faced cast block. Walls are clapboard. There is a full front wrap around porch with cast block piers and round columns. Windows are 1/1 with projecting cornices/bay window. Doors are full light. On the site is a large bank/basement barn, an English barn, a milk house, a pump house, and a silo. ALTERATIONS: COA 1988-0822 approved room addition to rear with wrap around deck, landscaping around house and buildings, new driveway, moving historic wrought iron fence, replacing paddock fences. APPLICATION ITEMS• "Emergency removal of silo." DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The foundation of the silo has failed causing the structure to begin collapsing toward the driveway. An unusually high amount of water saturation near the barn and silo is a • contributing factor. There is evidence of an attempt to preserve the structure in the past by strapping the silo to the barn. The silo will need to be removed proactively to prevent damage to the barn foundation. As the silo is not being utilized, there is no plan to rebuild. There is a possibility for architectural salvage, including: a lighting rod, wall tiles, and perhaps the roof. The ground will be filled and landscaped accordingly. SITE VISIT REPORT: May 7, 2018 This is a follow up to my visit on April 17, 2018. The department administrator, preservation specialist, and myself visited the site and inspected the tile -walled silo. The silo base foundation has failed and the silo has begun to lean and at the time was eight to ten feet out of square. The silo is a separate structure from the barn, but does have a feed room connection that runs to the lower level of the barn. The silo has moved away from the barn and the concrete drive approach. Elements are entering at this separation and is advancing the movement of the silo. Steve Szaday, Preservation Inspection 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: I . Structure—Necessary structural improvements, where safety demands should be accomplished in such a way as to cause minimal visual change to the original style and construction. 2. Material—Additions and improvements involving any new material in the landmark should be of the same material as the original. It should be the same size and texture. An alternative material may be allowed if it duplicates the original. a, wood—all wood trim should conform with existing trim in shape and size. b, siding materials—the Commission discourages the covering or alteration of original materials with additional siding. Structures already sided with incompatible materials should be returned to a siding similar to the original when renovation is considered. 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: Staff recommends approval of the silo to be dismantled and advocates for reclamation of the lighting rod, wall tiles, and roof, if possible. Per the Standards and Guidelines, staff recommends that owner provide the Commission with comprehensive interior and exterior documentation for the file.

Christman builder Property Owner: JMS Development, LLC Landmark or District Designation: Local Historic Landmark, ordinance # 8915-1998 Rating: Outstanding DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: John Mohler Studebaker built this eight story Neo -Classical style office structure in 1910. The fagade is comprised of six bays to the west and three to the south and is covered with white terra cotta classical detailing. It is also clearly divided into three registers that are separated by strong projecting and intervening cornices. The bottom of each cornice is punctuated by volutes and honeysuckle designs placed between each bay. The middle of the structure is articulated with a three bay system, which continues to the second intervening cornice, once again embellished with classical detailing. The top floor is further distinguished by the use of arched bays, which are topped by elaborate egg and dart molding. The overall decorative detail of the structure tends to reflect the impact of the Colombian Exposition of which the architect, Solon S. Beman, was a major participant. However, the frank expression of the steel frame links the building to the Chicago School of skyscraper construction. • The building has a flat roof with robust projecting cornices that have egg and dart molding and decorated voluted brackets. The windows are 1/1 double hung with simple decorated spandrels, except for the eighth floor, which has round even spans and cartouche keystones. ALTERATIONS: COA 2016-0705A approved replacement of the non -original storefronts at ground floor with new aluminum windows and sill flashing and 7 door openings with standard hardware. Vinyl/aluminum windows have been replaced with an historically appropriate Quaker style aluminum that will restore all full original window openings, including arched heads. Further approvals with COA 2016-0705A include: awnings, in-kind; close up windows behind elevator core; masonry restoration, in-kind; remove skylights; install stair tower and trash chute near center of north fagade, all finished in EIFS. COA 2016-0801A approved removal of "JMS Building" sign on the north facade (although sign will remain installed to reflect the historic name and nature of building), and installation of Centier blade sign, Centier sign on north elevation, and Studebaker Lofts sign on west elevation. APPLICATION ITEMS: "20' illuminated exterior sign." DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Weigand Construction, tenant, requests approval for the installation of an illuminated sign on the north facade of the JMS Building, approximately at the 51 floor level. Great Lakes Capital, owner, approves of the sign as presented. The overall dimensions of the sign will be 20' wide by 3' 8" tall, featuring Weigand Construction's logo and lettering. The profile of the sign will protrude 10" from the mounting. Letter height will vary between 15" and 6". Staff has requested material, mounting and illumination specifications. In the denial letter for COA 2017-0803 (an application for a third Centier sign), it was conveyed that the Commission should have a comprehensive plan for signage from the building owner/developer. Staff recommends • that building owner/developer provide Commission with a comprehensive plan for signage for the building, or specify what parameters/specifications exist for signage of tenants and. future tenants to the building. According to the Design Review guidelines for signs in the South Bend Central Development Area, the proposed sign would not be permitted, per Building Commissioner. [Size Requirements. The total area of all permanent signs on one building face, including window signs, wall signs, projecting signs, and hanging signs, shall not exceed thirty-six (36) square feet per building face or forty-five (45) square feet per building face if used in conjunction with a freestanding sign, regardless of the number of businesses occupying the building. If additional • signage is necessary, the Redevelopment Commission may grant additional signage, but in no case may the total signage area exceed five (5%) percent of the building face to which the sign is attached].

The exterior walls of the house are wood shingles with a bell flare at the lower course. The low pitch hip roof has wide soffit overhang and molded cornice and is covered with asphalt shingles. There is a full width front porch with shed roof. The porch has square supports with capitals, wood shingle solid railing, brackets at the eaves and molded fascia. The windows a wood double hung 9/1 on the second and first floors; a fixed triple panel window at the front. Most of the windows on the first floor have original wood storms. There are aluminum storms on some of the second floor windows. There are 3/3 double hung at the basement level a fixed 6 light in the basement and several fixed 3 light in the foundation level. ALTERATIONS: The storm door is not original to the house. The window shutters were added before 1987. The aluminum storm windows and the asphalt roof material are replacements. COA #2009-0109 allowed for the installation of a temporary handicap ramp on the front doorstep. COA #2017-0720 allowed for the replacement of rotted wood on the front porch and back porch. COA #2017-0829 allowed for the relaying of brick of the chimney, the columns, and the foundation. Multiple non -original windows exist, it is unknown when these were installed. APPLICATION ITEMS: "10 windows main flor left side back of house two back right 2 casements on the left 2 double hung's on the left one double hung on the back and three casements two double hung's on the right." See attached documents. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Applicant seeks a Certificate of Appropriateness for the replacement of 10 windows (five double hung windows and five casement windows). Grid / divided light patterns in replacement windows will replicate the configuration of the original windows. The contractor put forth two replacement options for consideration by the Historic Preservation Commission: 1. Andersen 400 Series a. PVC exterior, wood interior b. Muntins are aluminum exterior and wood interior. 2. Quaker Classic Fit Series a. Aluminum exterior, wood interior b. Muntins are aluminum exterior and wood interior. Both window options have interior and exterior muntins. Per the contractor, the aluminum and wood Quaker Classic series of windows are less expensive than the PVC and wood Anderson windows. SITE VISIT REPORT: •On April 30, 2018 I met with the owner of the property located at 608 Park. The owner applied to replace windows on the first level of the house. The windows have a nine over one double -hung and either nine or twelve - light fixed or casement style windows. The double hung windows on the south side (right side when looking at front of house) are non -original replacement windows with false grids. The front (west) window is a vinyl replacement three bay casement window that the owner would like to replace at a later date. • The rear (east) face has a three bay, nine light casement window unit. These are wood, but I do not believe to be original, as they have a veneer of wood finish that is peeling off. The north side has a twelve -light original fixed window, two nine light original casement windows, and two original nine over one double hung windows with textured glass at the far end. None of the windows appear to be deteriorated beyond repair. They all need work in order to be operable, although the secured -in-place exterior storms make that task difficult. The two nine light casements on the north face have had some remodeling done in between by way of a closed doorway and a removed staircase. Water damage from above has damaged some plaster and may have caused those windows to be out of square. The two textured windows toward the rear are painted and and fastened shut. I believe the motivation behind the desire to change the windows is efficiency and ease of use. The distance between the property and the neighbors on both side make the sides of the house difficult to see from the street. Steve Szaday Preservation Inspector 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. 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. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Some of the windows that the applicant intends to replace are not original to the house, and staff would recommend removing and replacing those with a more appropriate and functional window model. The remaining original windows may be repairable, but this process is inconvenienced by the fixed -in- place metal storms on the exterior of the structure. Were 1) the windows to be determined to be deteriorated beyond repair, and 2) given the choice between the two provided window options; staff would recommend that the aluminum -clad exterior / wood interior Quaker Classic Fit windows be utilized for this installation.

ARTS & CRAFTS The Arts & Crafts, or Craftsman, home style is rked by a sense of the familiar, the handmade, e "craftsmanship" of design. Attributes of this style include: • Large glass and single glass openings • Grilles in the upper sash of the double -hung windows • Art glass for that distinctive design touch • 4 1/z" -wide flat window trim with sill nose • Windows and siding are similar in tone; window trim is usually a warm, contrasting color • 4 i C�Iil11i7►1/_\I Colonial today refers to a host of highly popular styles and blended designs. In fact, many homeowners are remodeling other styles of homes, like Ranch, to look more Colonial. Attributes of this style include: • Dormers and divided light double -hung windows • Clapboard siding and shutters • Fan light over entry door • 3 1/z"- or 4'/z" -wide flat window trim, often with a decorative cornice • White or light gray windows with stark, contrasting window trim COTTAGE FARMHOUSE As a traditional style, Cottage Farmhouse beckons you back to the casual, simple, relaxed and delightful homestead of an earlier time. Attributes of this style include: • Grilles add a design touch to double -hung windows • Double -hung windows are tall and narrow with a simple grille pattern • 4'/z" -wide flat window trim, frequently with a decorative drip cap • The most popular window and window trim colors are white and forest green, used in any combination MODERN RANCH YOUR HOME STYLE The Modern style incorporates clean lines, simple forms and open floor plans. Attributes of this style include: • Expanses of glass heighten the interior and expand space and light • Casements and awnings are widely used window types in Modern homes • 2" -wide brick mould window trim used to minimally highlight the windows or to create a shadow line 1 ■1Ift 11 Blending styles is becoming more and more popular, and Ranch homeowners are remodeling interiors to be more contemporary and exteriors to be more traditional. Attributes of this style include: • Ribbon or large plate -glass windows are common • Divided light windows enhance both curb appeal and interior aesthetics • Double -hung, casement and awning windows are used alone and in combinations • Window trim is either 3'/i' -wide flat or 2" -wide brick mould and typically coordinates with other features such as roofing or masonry It can be hard to put your finger on the exact style you'd like for your home. To help, Andersen has done extensive research into many architectural styles and how windows and doors play a critical role in achieving them. We've compiled it all into our Home Style Library so you can browse and find the perfect style for your home.

The exterior walls of the house are wood clapboard with one off -center chimney with a brick corbelled top. A flared gable roof with full length shed dormer has a balcony over the front porch and a balustrade. A full length open front porch has square posts and balustrade; a full second -story balcony has a matching balustrade. Windows are wood 6/1 and 8/1 double hung with Larson Silver Series 1/1 exterior storms. ALTERATIONS: Skylights were added to the structure sometime after the construction of the home and before the establishment of the historic district. In 1984, the property owner received permission to construct a boat launch on the river side of Edgewater Drive. At some point in the late 1980s the southern basement access man - door and window were removed, as well as the concrete access driveway. COA #1996-0405 allowed for the removal of a chain link fence and its replacement with a wood picket fence, although this may have never been completed. COA #2000-0629 allowed for the retroactive removal of a tree in the tree lawn. COA #2000-1023 allowed for the in-kind re -roofing of the structure with asphalt shingles. COA #2006-1117 allowed for the repair and reconstruction of the front porch with new deck and railings. COA #2008-0417 allowed for the removal of a Norway Maple in the tree lawn per City Forrester recommendation. COA #2009-0504B allowed for the removal of the chain link fence with 6' white vinyl privacy fence in backyard. COA #2009-0909 allowed for the replacement of storm windows with Larson Silver Series 1/1 storm windows. COA #2015-0626A allowed for the removal of a rotten Cottonwood along the river bank per City Forrester recommendation. APPLICATION ITEMS: "Remove existing roofing materials, removal of existing skylights, removal of existing gutter drain system. In-kind replacement of roof and gutter system with updated underlayment and new ridge vent. Replacement of skylights x2 of same size, Velux Custom with solar powered skylights." DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Applicant seeks approval for the following components: 1. Remove existing roof material and replace with new: a. Ice and water shield, b. Synthetic felt paper, c. 6AF Timberline shingles, `Charcoal' colored d. Pro -Start Eave/Rake Starter Strip e. Cobra RidgeRunner exhaust vent, f. Seal -A -Ridge Protective Cap Shingle, g. Drip Edge 2. Remove existing gutter system and replace with: a. Englert Leafguard Brand gutter system 3. Replace existing non -original skylights with a. Velux Custom solar -powered skylights • SITE VISIT REPORT: May 8, 2018 On April 30, 2018 1 visited the property located at 619 Edgewater Drive located in the Edgewater Place Local Historic District. The owner had contacted HPC about changing out the two skylights in the roof. I photographed the outside of the structure and determined that the skylights are in need of replacement. The presence of condensation in the skylights indicates that the once gas-filled panes are no longer air tight. The discoloration of the roofing material down slope of the skylights would also indicate that the material used to render the roof curbs water tight has begun to fail as well. I do not have the ability to get any closer to skylights other than ground inspection. Steve Szaday Preservation Inspector STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES, EDGEWATER PLACE: II. EXISTING STRUCTURES B. ROOFS AND ROOFING Roof shapes in the district vary from hip and gable to gambrel. All are covered with asphalt shingles. Eaves in most cases, have wood facias with gutters and downspouts. Some aluminum sided houses have aluminum covered facias. Required The existing shape and materials of the roof shall be retained. All architectural features which give the roof its essential character, such as dormer windows, cornices, brackets and weather vanes, shall be retained. Recommended Whenever possible, the original shape and materials of the roof shall 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 existing or original in composition, size, shape, color, and texture. Prohibited Nothing shall be done to change the essential character of the roof by adding architectural features or roofing materials inappropriate to the style of the house. The roof shall not be stripped of architectural features important to its character. Not Recommended If aluminum or vinyl siding is added to a building, overhanging eaves and gables should not be covered or enclosed. 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. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of this application, as it is in keeping with the Standards and Guidelines for the Edgewater Historic District.

The original design and construction of your home may have resulted in the creation of roof valleys. Gutter products in general, including LeafGuard, may not collectillft of the water displaced at the valley ends. In an attempt to reduce this "valley effect," the LeafGuard manufacturer has developed a High -Velocity Inside Mitre. Desow this innovation, it is likely that some water will escape the gutter near the valley ends. The LeafGuard installers may also add a diverter(s) to the hood of the LeafGua gutter, along with a series of holes in the hood. This will help to capture some of the water, but some water may escape the gutter in this area.

Siding is aluminum and vinyl. Roof is a cross gable with returns and is covered with asphalt shingles. There is a full length front porch with a brick foundation, half walls, tapered piers and brick wing walls. The porch roof is hipped and covered with asphalt shingles. The windows are wood and vinyl 1/1 double hung. There is a one-story addition with a shed roof in the rear. Front door is metal. ALTERATIONS: A detached garage in the rear collapsed in the winter of 1993. COA 1995-0329 replaced roof with asphalt shingle. 2002-0311 replaced broken windows, eaves, and soffits. COA 2012-0730 removed failing attached garage, residing exposed side with vinyl, and install new solid steel front door. The rear one-story addition is not original. Aluminum siding is not original. APPLICATION ITEMS: "Please see attached proposal." • DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: 1. Windows: Replace all windows with Jeld-Wen vinyl single hung. Existing windows are an assortment of non -original wood replacement, newer vinyl windows in existing addition, original wood double hung windows that need repair, and original wood double hung windows that are beyond repair (see Site Visit Report). A rear second story window that is installed below the roof line is causing moisture issues and is proposed to be replaced with a new window designed to be symmetrical with the second existing window (see drawing). Two rear first story windows in existing addition are proposed to be replaced with new windows that are 25% shorter to allow for the installation of kitchen countertops along the wall under the windows. Staff recommended that applicant investigate aluminum clad window material; applicant concluded that cost would be 50% more. 2. Siding: Remove outer layer of aluminum and vinyl siding. A layer of non -original asphalt siding will remain on house. Install foam board insulation. Install new P1yGem vinyl 4" siding on entire house including existing addition. Add new wood trim around windows and doors; no trim currently exists. 3. Fence: Install new wood 6' dog-eared privacy fence along side and rear of property, not to surpass front wall of house (see site plan). 4. Porch: Remove existing aluminum porch ceiling. Depending on condition of original wood underneath, either restore or install new wood beadboard, product specification TBD. 5. Brick: Tuck point and power wash brick. Staff recommended that applicant power wash brick using only low-pressure water and using soft natural bristle brushes. 6. Entry doors: Replace non -original front and rear doors both with new Mastercraft Craftsman Embossed steel exterior doors. SITE VISIT REPORT: May 2, 2018 I met with the owner/contractor at the property located at 226 Hammond Ct. The owner is looking to perform several projects. • -Windows -Four windows on the North (front) face. The two on the main floor are wood but do not look to be original as they have a slightly different construction and sash detail. The windows are in need of repair and look like new parting stops were installed. The two windows upstairs look to be original and in desperate need of repair and even some structural repair to the lower sash of both. -Four windows on the East side. Two lower windows are both in need of repair including structural sash repair. The upper windows are in worse shape and are soft to the touch. Both lower sashes of the upstairs windows • are deteriorated beyond repair. -Four windows on South (rear) face. Two lower level windows are vinyl replacements and part of the addition. The owner wishes to install smaller windows in order to utilize the addition as the kitchen, however to do so will need to raise height above counter height. Two upper windows; one is a small non -original horizonal window and then a small double -hung original. The double hung original is deteriorated beyond repair due to the roof of the addition finishing above the window sill. Water runs into the window and wall. Owner wishes to install a smaller window to correct this issue. -Two windows on West (side) upper level. These are both deteriorated beyond repair. There was roof damage and water infiltration on the southmost window and the northmost window has sustained structural damage. The owner wishes to add two windows to the lower level where a carport/garage once stood and was removed with an approved COA. -Siding Owner stated a desire to remove the aluminum siding on the house and replace with vinyl siding that matches what is already on the addition and lower level of the west face. He is also looking to add trim around the windows to match the other houses in the neighborhood more appropriately. When I was inside the addition, we saw that under the aluminum is asphalt siding. I was unable to see under that layer to see what the original material was. -Fence Owner is interested in installing a privacy fence along the east edge of the property between the alley and house. The fence would then run south along the alley at rear of the house and then turn north along the western property line. Within view of the property there are both wood privacy fences and chain link fencing in the rear yards along the alley. Utility easements will need to be considered prior to any fence installation. -Front Porch Owner stated a desire to repair the porch overhang and possibly add a deck above the porch. There is such a structure at the end of the block at Hammond Court and St Joseph. The roof is in need of repair and the porch • ceiling is separating from the structural beams. This may need to be stripped down to the structural truss. I did go out on the roof personally to test the strength of the roof. I will point out that the brick porch may be an addition as it is the only brick part of the house and it does not tie into the house proper. The porch sits higher than others in the neighborhood. The owner plans to make necessary missing mortar repairs. Steve Szaday, Preservation Inspector STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES RIVER BEND: I. THE ENVIRONMENT A. IN THE DISTRICT ENVIRONMENT The district is characterized by its proximity to downtown South Bend and its location adjacent to Leeper Park and along the St. Joseph River. The district encompasses: two blocks of Riverside Drive beginning at Marion Street (from 503 Riverside Drive north) and ending at Bartlett Street; two lots on the north side of Navarre street just west of the alley behind Riverside Drive; the north side of Hammond Place; the east side of St. Joseph Street between Hammond Place and Bartlett Street; and the south side of Bartlett Street between St. Joseph and Riverside Drive. The District contains 45 residences and their adjacent outbuildings. Required Distinctive existing features such as parks, gardens, streetlights, fences, signs, 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, material and color. Street lighting should be maintained at levels recommended by the Illumination Engineering Society. Sources and light posts should be uniform throughout the District. Lamp fixtures and supporting posts must be similar in proportion, scale and detail to existing historic lamps (see appendix). Streetlights should be placed so that adequate illumination is afforded all sections of the public sidewalks. Removal of shade trees over twelve inches (12") diameter, conifer trees over six inches (6") in diameter or other major plant elements shall be subject to approval by the Historic Preservation Commission. Any subsequent replacement trees of any size required by the Historic Preservation Commission shall be retained. The Riverfront 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 or streets that are causing deterioration to those elements should be removed. Do not dump leaves and grass clippings on planted slopes as this practice will kill much of the low ground cover and leave soil susceptible to erosion. When replacement of utility poles or power lines is necessary, consideration should be given to underground conduits or utility poles erected along property lines. Prohibited • Existing relationships of buildings and their environments shall not be destroyed through widening or closing of existing streets and alleys or by introducing new streets, alleys or parking lots. Signs, streetlights, benches, new plant materials, fencing, walkways and paving materials which are out ofscale or inappropriate to the neighborhood may not be used. The erection ofhigh walls or barriers which would alter the relationship of the houses and the river is prohibited. The introduction of heavy trucks or similar vehicles in the District shall be prohibited. Utility poles with high intensity overhead lights shall not be used on main thoroughfares. B. BUILDING SITE, LANDSCAPING, & ACCESSORIES Individual properties in the district are characterized by a house located near the front of each lot, with a small lawn in front and a larger lawn • to the rear of the property. Those properties facing the river on Riverside Drive generally have sloping front lawns and flat back yards. The majority of structures have been erected on a single lot. Many of the properties include a garage located at the rear of the property accessed from unpaved alleys running behind the property. Most properties have trees, shrubbery and/or hedges. All houses conform to the uniform set-back within each block. The district has a compact layout. Large homes are constructed on small lots while smaller homes, such as those on Hammond Place, are constructed on narrow, deep lots. Little of the backyard areas or rear first stories of these homes is visible from the thoroughfare. In recognition of this, greater latitude will be allowed in the application of the adopted standards in the rear of the properties, in order to accommodate the individual preferences of the property owners in the treatment of these backyard areas. No approval will be necessary for changes in lawn, shrubs, walkways or semi-permanent surface changes in the rear of houses. Staff approval would be required for semi-permanent structures such as gazebos, but not for play equipment such as swing sets, sand-boxes, etc. Required Plants, trees, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house numbers) 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. Accessory structures such as decks, gazebos, fountains, or small outbuildings should be appropriate to surrounding site elements in scale, type and appearance. Plant materials in close proximity to the buildings and which are causing deterioration to the building's historic fabric should be removed and replaced by more suitable flora as approved by the Historic Preservation Commission. Prohibited No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings or other site elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and development. Front yard areas shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped. Frontyard areas shall not be fenced, or fences shall not extend forward beyond the setback line of theproperty. Telephone or utility poles with high intensity overhead lights should be installed so that they cannot be seen from the thoroughfare. The installation of unsightly, large devices such as television satellite dishes shall not be permitted in areas where they can be viewed from the public thoroughfare. 11. EXISTING STRUCTURES A. BUILDING MATERIALS Original exterior wall materials in the District include brick, stucco, clapboard, wood shingles and masonry block. In some instances, vinyl or aluminum siding has been applied over the original material. Required Original exterior building materials shall be retained. Deterioration of wood materials shall be prevented through repair, cleaning and • painting. The existing architectural detail around windows, porches, doors and eaves should be retained or replaced by replicas of the same design and materials when deteriorated beyond repair. Masonry including brick and stucco shall be cleaned only when necessary to halt deterioration or to remove stains, and shall be done with a method acceptable for the preservation of the surface: i.e. low pressure water and soft natural bristle brushes. When repairing stucco, only appropriate stucco mixture shall be used. Recommended Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored Metal or vinyl may be used as an alternative to maintaining or replacing the original surface material when it resembles the original surface material. When used over wood surfaces, this siding should be the same size and style as the original wood Every effort should be made to retain the original trim around windows, doors, cornices, gables, eaves and other architectural features. Ample ventilation must be afforded the structure when aluminum or vinyl is to be installed in order to prevent increased deterioration of the structure from moisture and/or insects. Mortar joints should be repointed only when there is evidence of moisture problems or when sufficient mortar is missing to allow water to stand in the mortar joint Existing mortar shall be duplicated in composition, color, texture, joint size, method of application and joint profile. Prohibited Wood siding shall not be resurfaced with material such as artificial stone, brick veneer, asbestos or asphalt shingles, which is inappropriate or was unavailable when the building was constructed Sandblasting or the use of harsh detergents shall not be used on masonry or stucco. This method of cleaning erodes the surface material and accelerates deterioration. Not Recommended Waterproof or water repellent coatings or surface consolidation treatments should not be used on masonry surfaces unless required to solve a specific problem that has been studied and identified. Coatings are frequently unnecessary and expensive, and can accelerate deterioration of the masonry. Mortar joints which do not need repointing should not be. Repointing should not be done with mortar of high Portland cement content, which can often create a bond that is stronger than the building materials. This can cause deterioration as a result of the differing porosity of the material and the mortar — the end result being serious damage to adjacent brick. Paint should not be removed from masonry surfaces indiscriminately. C. WINDOWS AND DOORS Window and door frames are in most cases wood. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels. In some cases where synthetic siding has been applied, window trim has been covered Many structures in the district have aluminum storm windows. Some houses retain wood framed storm windows. Required Original windows and doors including sash, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods and hardware shall be retained or when deteriorated beyond repair, replaced with units and trim resembling the original. • Recommended Wood frame storm windows and doors, painted to match the original, should be used but should not damage existing frames. If new sash and doors are used, the existing or original materials, design, and hardware should be used When metal storm doors are used, they should be painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used they should be of canvas material. Prohibited Original doors, windows, and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and 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 and insulating glass combinations that require removal of the original windows and doors, shall not be installed • Not Recommended Awnings, hoods or fake shutters made of metal, vinyl or fiberglass should not be used if they would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building. D. ENTRANCES PORCHES AND STEPS Most houses in the district have either an open or a closed porch across the front. Most porches have either gabled, hipped, shed or flat roofs. Many frame porch floors and steps have been replaced with concrete. REQUIRED Existing or original porches and steps, including handrails, balusters, columns, brackets, tiles and roof decorations, shall be retained, or replaced with replicas of the same design and materials when deteriorated beyond repair. 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. Prohibited Front porches and steps that are important to the building's style and character shall not be altered or removed. Not Recommended Original porch details should not be replaced with materials representing a different period or style from the original. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval.

Proposal for changes to exterior of property located at 226 Hammond Place, South Bend, IN 46601: • Part A: We would like to replace the all windows at the property with a vinyl single hung Jeld-Wen Product. We feel that this is keeping with character of neighborhood as there are > ten houses within a block radius that currently have vinyl windows. Some of these are on riverside drive. We would also like to remove the window in the bathroom on the second story. This is a rear facing window. This window is also below the roof line of the addition on the rear of the house and causes moisture problems which have led to mold growth on the ceiling drywall in the kitchen. We propose to replace this window by adding a window in the bedroom to the west of the bathroom. Additionally we would like to change the size of the windows on the main floor, at rear of house. We will reduce the height of these windows by 25%. These windows are not original due to this being an addition to the original structure. This will allow us to install countertops along the wall under the windows. As of now this isn't possible. Part B: We would like to replace the siding on the exterior of house with a vinyl double 4" product. We feel that this is keeping with character of neighborhood as there are > ten houses within a block radius that currently have vinyl siding. Furthermore, 1/3 of exterior currently has vinyl siding. We would like to install trim as it is currently nonexistent. We will be trimming out windows and door with wood trim.

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.

SITE VISIT REPORT: n/a 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 is • :7 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 / 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 frau special circumstances, before granting a C of A. 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. 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. E. MECHANICAL SERVICES The majority of the structures within the district have oil or gas heat, and have brick chimneys through the roof. Some houses have one or two window air conditioners. Required Required mechanical systems shall be placed in areas that will result in the least possible alteration of the structural integrity and physical appearance of the building. Recommended Solar collectors and TV dishes should be placed in the rear of the property and shielded by shrubbery and landscaping. Window air conditioners and exhaust fans should be installed at the rear or an inconspicuous side window. Original lighting fixtures should be utilized whenever possible. 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. 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) I. 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 as all projects appear to conform to the Standards and Guidelines. Written by .

PUBLIC HEARING A. CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS 1. 651 River Avenue COA# 2018-0309A #6846-80 Edgewater Place Historic District Representation: Charles Beatty, 651 River Avenue 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 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 8t'', 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, x'21-100(2), specifically the installation of windows without application forpermit, or Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) from Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). VIOLATION REMEDY 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. 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. 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. Written by Adam Toering Historic Preservation Specialist Approved by Elicia Feasel Historic Preservation Administrator Commissioner Hertel made a motion to deny application #2018-0309A due to the lack of evidence that the windows were non -repairable and the replaced materials were not duplicating the windows that were removed. Seconded by Commissioner Gelfman. President Klusczinski clarified that votes in the affirmative will support the motion to deny the application and reminded the members to state their reasons when voting. Roll call was ordered. Commissioner Gelfman (AYE): I vote aye to deny the application due to the design of the windows not being congruent to the ones that were removed to start with, not enough evidence that the windows that are in place at the present time are beyond repair. Commissioner Anderson (AYE): I also vote in favor of denial of the application as original materials were not used, nor did they replicate the original design of what was removed, there was no Building Permit or Certificate of Appropriateness sought, and—I believe as a part of our authority here – we are seeing way too many retroactive window projects. Commissioner Hertel (AYE): I vote to deny the application, as previously stated. • Commissioner Klusczinski (AYE): I vote in favor of the motion to deny application #2018-0309A for the following reasons – there was a lack of information and evidence supporting the deterioration beyond repair aspect found in the standards and guidelines for the district; I also do not see any financial hardship arguments because no attempt was made to justify rehabilitation efforts, nor was any attempt made to justify alternative material choices for the windows that were installed (without either a COA or Building Permit). For those reasons, I believe that the public detriment set forth by allowing this application discriminates against all those who follow the COA process and who made material choices congruent with what had been removed in their houses when they are allowed to do so. Commissioner Gordon (AYE): I vote to deny this application for the all the reasons previously stated, I just don't have enough information to say that it absolutely had to be remedied in the way that it was. Commissioner Molnar (NAY): I vote against the motion to deny the application. Although there is not great enough evidence to show that the windows were beyond repair, half of the windows of the home are already replaced, it is on the side of the house and it is harder to see from the street, and that the windows were on the second floor and dated from the 1940s, almost 50 years after the construction of the house. Five in favor, one opposed. • Vote: 5 –1 COA#2018-0309A is denied. 19 • 2. 1352 Lincoln Way E COA# 2018-0315 #7343-84 Lincoln Way East Representation: Tammy Winn, 1352 Lincoln Way East STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: April 10, 2018 Application Number: 2018-0315 Property Location: 1352 Lincoln Way East Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Queen Anne / Free Classic / 1910 / La Pierre House Property Owner: Tammie Winn (Williams) Landmark or District Designation: Lincoln Way East Local Historic District, Ordinance #7343-84 Rating: Contributing DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: This two-story irregular plan Queen Anne/Free Classic sits on a rough-hewn concrete block foundation. 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. I. 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. G STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Unlike other Local Historic Districts, chain link fences are not explicitly prohibited 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. Written by Adam Toering Historic Preservation Specialist Approved by Elicia Feasel Historic Preservation Administrator Commissioner Gordon made a motion to approve as submitted. Seconded by Commissioner Anderson. Six in favor, none opposed. Vote: 6 - 0. Motion to approve COA #2018-0315 is passed. 3. 129 W North Shore Drive COA# 2018-0322 #6512-78 West North Shore Dr Representation: Kevin Buccellato, 304 Twyckenham Avenue STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS • Date: April 10, 2018 Application Number: 2018-0322 Property Location: 129 W North Shore Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Neo -Classical Revival / 1905 Property Owner: May Ellen O'Connell & Peter Bauer Landmark or District Designation: West North Shore Local Historic District, Ordinance #6512-78 Rating: Notable DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: This 2 story plus attic Neo -Classical house sits upon a brick and concrete foundation.

SITE VISIT REPORT: On April 9th, 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: II. 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.

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 entry door. 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 #1989-0602 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 9 drive and in-kind replacement of limestone base. COA #1995-1025 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 #2003-103113 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. Existina 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. 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. 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. 10 Structure faces southeast, for the sake 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 SEI. 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. Painted shut with caulk and paint used for weatherization, exterior glazing is failing with water infiltration from outside entering at corners causing separation at mortise and tendon joints especially at lower sash. SE7-8 -first floor older wood double hung windows painted, caulked, and screwed shut. Lower sashes have wood signage over the exterior and interior. Unable to assess condition of lower sashes. Upper sash in structurally sound condition with failing glazing, but many layers of caulk and paint. Southwest SWI -3 -second floor older wood double hung with interior storms. Painted shut with caulk and paint used for weatherization, exterior glazing is failing with water infiltration from outside entering at corners causing separation at mortise and tendon joints especially at lower sash. SW4 -first floor wood double -hung window. Newer sashes with friction track type of operation, brickmold is soft to touch at sill and sill is also soft in spots. SW5-6 -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. Northwest (rear) NW1-4 • All wood double hung windows. Friction type operation with exterior brick molding. Sills and plates are soft in several spots. All are caulked, painted, and screwed shut. Northeast (along Portage) NEI -3 -second floor older wood double hung with interior storms. Painted shut with caulk and paint used for weatherization, exterior glazing is failing with water infiltration from outside entering at corners causing separation at mortise and tendon joints especially at lower sash. NE4 -newer wood double hung window. Friction type operation with exterior brick molding. Interior storm, caulked and painted shut. 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. 11 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. is 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. 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. 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 12 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. Written by Elicia Feasel Historic Preservation Administrator Commissioner Gelfman made a motion to approve COA #2018-0402 and remand the authority to approve the windows and doors to staff. Seconded by Commissioner Anderson. • Six in favor, none opposed. Vote: 6 - 0. Motion to approve COA #2018-0402 is passed. 13 5. 908 Leland Ave COA# 2018-0403 #9574-05 Chapin Park • Representation: Joan M. Downs, 849 Forest Avenue STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: April 11, 2018 Application Number: 2018-0403 Property Location: 908 Leland Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Gabled -Ell / 1898 Property Owner: Joan M. 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'/z" 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 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 2017-101013 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.

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. IL EXISTING STRUCTURES A. BUILDING MATERIALS Original exterior building materials in the district include brick, stucco, clapboard, wood shingles, and brick or stone masonry.

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 16 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. 17 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.

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: is 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. 19 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.

The building was used as a residence for many years following and later as the Old Country Bake Shop. Structure is a 1 '/i 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. 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 HP 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 leveUcrawl 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 21 Overall: -raccoons have made the building home and droppings were throughout -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 Historic 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.

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 Public Discussion: Todd Zeiger, 801 W. Washington. Indiana Landmarks was brought into this discussion as of March 13th. AEP has a very particular window wherein the structure needs to be removed by June 30th. The Historic Preservation Commission will not meet again until May 21St, and the house moving would need to be in place by June 1St. Mr. Zeiger expressed concern as to the impact that tabling this application may have on efforts to save this structure. Carol McDougal, 409 E Washington St, Lakeville, IN. "On behalf of the Lakeville Redevelopment Commission I am here to speak in favor of saving Pleasantville School and not demolishing it. Do we raze or renovate? Historic neighborhood schools were prevalent all over the county. Some were • only clapboard, wood -sided buildings, a few are still standing, but most have met their demise. Some were brick and mortar and are architecturally significant. The Pleasant View School House –which was built in 1902—is particularly one of those schools and is already designated a St. Joseph County Landmark. Although there might not be anyone left who actually attended this school as a child, there are certainly those who have fond memories of it as the "Old Country Bakeshop." Some of you may have stopped there on the way down US -31. When the school closed in 1931 it was turned into a residence until 1977. In 1978 it was converted into the country bakeshop. Our intent as the town of Lakeville is to move it into our downtown district or as near to it as possible – you have all heard of the phrase, "location, location, location." We believe that if we can place the building on Michigan Street in our downtown district, it can create an economic driver and be a boost to our businesses. The Redevelopment and Economic Commissions have been working the last few years to renovate the looks of our downtown district. We have offered incentives and fagade grants to our current buildings. We currently have two different prospective businesses interested in moving into our downtown. We would like to provide them with interesting places to move into. One thing Lakeville lacks is buildings with historic architecture and we believe moving the school house downtown would enhance the fabric of our community. Along with Indiana Landmarks and St. Joseph County, and Historic Preservation Administrators, we would also like to partner with the building trades programs at our high school as part of the renovation – and I know Todd [Zeiger, from Indiana Landmarks] has worked with other counties and cities that have done that. We believe that this school still has some education in its bones, but when a school is no longer suitable for teaching kids, we need to make plans for an adaptive use. This school doesn't belong to just one person, it belongs to the community. The school is also as old as Lakeville is, it was incorporated in 1902. It has been around as long as Lakeville has. Our ideal location is at the south end of town." • Commissioner Anderson made a motion to deny COA #2018-0404B as submitted without prejudice and with the caveat that, in the event of a reapplication, the application fee be waived. Seconded by Commissioner Gordon. 23 President Klusczinski clarified that votes in the affirmative will support the motion to deny the • application and reminded the members to state their reasons when voting. Roll call was ordered. Commissioner Gelfman (AYE): I vote aye on the motion to deny application #2018-040413 due to no definitive plans yet for the school house property when it comes to a new location or keeping it in the same place, and the demolition of the non-contributing ancillary building due to the easement issues that need to be addressed by Marie Louise Rumpf. Commissioner Anderson (AYE): I vote in the affirmative on the motion to deny application #2018-0404B due to legal issues, representation from the owner of the property, plans for the entire project, and lack of overall scope with variables. Commissioner Hertel (AYE): I vote aye on the motion to deny application #2018-0404B due to the questionable legal representation of the owner, the broad application items regarding the relocation / demolition / mitigation of the site, and the lack of owner engagement. Commissioner Klusczinski (AYE): I vote in favor of the motion to deny application #2018- 0404B with respect to lack of representation by the property owner, lack of documentation of the owner's full legal consent for action for the improvements upon that property, and overall lack of information for the assessment of the complete proposal number two listed under application items. Commissioner Gordon (AYE): I vote to deny application #2018-040413 for all of the previously mentioned reasons. Commissioner Molnar (AYE): I vote in the affirmative on the motion to deny application • #2018-040413 for all the previously mentioned reasons. In addition, I would like to add also to specifically to deny item number two for demo in that there is an obvious viable option in place to save the building. Six in favor, none opposed. Vote: 6 - 0. Application COA #2018-0404B is denied unanimously. 8. 745 Leland Avenue COA# 2018-0406 #9305-02 / #9574-05 Local Landmark / Chapin Park Representation: Jonathan Kuer, 745 Leland Avenue Katherine Kuer, 745 Leland Avenue STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: 6 April 2018 Application Number: 2018-0406 Property Location: 745 Leland Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Free Classic/ 1895/Shetterley — Miller House Property Owner: Jonathon and Kathryn Keur • Landmark or District Designation: Local Landmark, Ordinance #9305-02; Chapin Park Local District, Ordinance #9574-05; Chapin Park National Register District Rating: Outstanding 24 DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/SITE: Two and half story Free Classic house has a rectangular floor plan with large porches extending front and back set upon an irregular lot.

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. StructureNecessary 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. Movine 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. Sim No neon or flashing signs will be permitted unless they are original to the structure. Billboards and super -graphics will also be disallowed.

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.

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. 26 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 / 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.
