STAFF REPORT
• CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
Date: July 10, 2018
Application Number: 2018-0621 C
Property Location: 815 Arch
Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Tudor Revival / 1921 / Ernest W. Young
Property Owner: Jason Pfledderer
Landmark or District Designation: Edgewater Place Local Historic District, Ordinance #6846-80; Local
Landmark, Ordinance #6848-1980
Rating: Outstanding
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: The house sits on the corner of Arch and Edgewater. It is a two-story
with rectangular plan set upon a brick foundation. The main level is red brick laid in running bond. The upper
level surmounts a continuous band of stucco with half timer expressions on the west end. The broad sweeping
asphalt shingled roof lines extend down from the central hip with a variety of intersecting dormers, narrow
overhang lines with moulded wood frieze board. A rectangular boathouse is across from the house along the river.
ALTERATIONS: All of the windows were replaced between 1985 and 1989. The roof is not original to the house.
The doors are replacements. The surfaces of the front walk way, porch steps and porch stoop do not appear to be
original to the house. COA #1985-0926 allowed for the replacement of four windows on the shed dormer at the
northeast side of the house. COA #1986-0819 allowed for re -roofing. COA #1989-0417 allowed for the
replacement of six windows with Polarseal aluminum double hung windows. COA# 1989-0801 allowed for
reconstruction of the main entry. COA #1990-0418 allowed for "replacing all wood on boathouse with wolmanized
lumber. The new construction will duplicate the existing fenestration, elevation, screening, etc. exactly." COA
#2000-0717 allowed for in-kind repairs of a whole in the roof of the boathouse following a tree fall. COA #2003-
0808 allowed for site work and the replacement of the back door. COA #2011-0812 allowed for the removal of the
removal of brush along the river bank per Brent Thompson, City Forester. COA #2012-0515 allowed for the repair
of the fence and the replacement of concrete chunks on the site with formed pavers. COA #2014-0804A allowed
for the removal of a rotten sugar maple tree per Brent Thompson, City Forester. COA #2015-0803A allowed for
concrete sitework. RME #2016-100313 allowed for the stucco repair on the main house. RME #2016-0628 allowed
for the removal of a tree per Brent Thompson, City Forester. COA #2017-0417B allowed for the removal of
windows on the east side of the main house to be replaced with sliding doors, as well as concrete site work. RME
#2018-0501 A allowed for the re -roofing of the boathouse and the reconstruction of the handrail.
APPLICATION ITEMS: "Replacing railing with vinyl railing."
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Applicant seeks approval for the following components:
1. Remove and replace existing railing.
The primary motivations for replacement can be characterized as:
1. The existing (30") railing is not compliant with code and would warrant modification or reconstruction
so as to become compliant with the 36" requirement. The applicant would like to replace the existing
railing as opposed to modify it by adding additional height.
2. Wood as a material on a boat house (or other structure in close proximity to water) constitutes a
consistent and regular maintenance issue. The applicant would prefer to replace wood with a material
with a significantly lower maintenance requirement and has expressed a willingness to utilize metal or
vinyl options.
Five replacement options for the railing have been put forth by the applicant and all of the proposed options would
constitute a significant departure from the existing railing's construction and visual appearance. The proposed
designs do not have accompanying manufacture specifications and instead appear to be representations as to desired
styles and/or constructions. It is unknown if the examples are manufactured out of wood, metal, or vinyl.
Were one of these options selected, the existing railing system (including masonry support `columns') would be
removed down to the decking. The replacement railing system would need to be bolted onto the decking and •
secured to the superstructure.
SITE VISIT REPORT: N/A
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES, EDGEWATER PLACE:
II. EXISTING STRUCTURES
A. BUILDING MATERIALS
Original exterior wall materials in the District range from brick, clapboard, shingles, and masonry block to aluminum siding. In the majority
of the cases the aluminum siding has been applied over the original clapboard. There are some masonry commercial buildings on
Lincolnway.
Required
Existing 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 structures shall be maintained, tuckpointed and properly cleaned when necessary. Masonry shall be cleaned only when necessary to
halt deterioration or to remove stains, and shall be done with the gentlest method possible, such as low pressure water and soft natural bristle
brushes.
Stucco surfaces shall be maintained by cleaning and repainted when necessary. When repairing stucco a stucco mixture shall be used.
Recommended
Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored.
Aluminum or vinyl siding may be used when it is the only feasible alternative to maintaining the original surface material. When used over
wood surfaces, this siding should be the same size and style as the original wood. However it must be noted that such material can contribute
to the deterioration of the structure from moisture and insects.
Mortar joints should be repointed only when there is evidence of moisture problems or when sufficient mortar is missing to allow water to
stand in the mortar joint. Existing mortar shall be duplicated in composition, color, texture, joint size, method of application, and joint profile.
D. ENTRANCES, PORCHES, AND STEPS
The majority of the houses in the district have either an open or a enclosed porch across the front or on the side. Most porches have either
gabled or hipped roofs or are covered by the main roof of the house. A brick base with wood columns is common.
Required
Existing or original porches and steps, including handrails, balusters, columns, brackets, tiles and roof decorations shall be retained
or replace 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
Porches and steps that are important to the building's style and development may 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.
IV. SAFETY AND BUILDING CODES
A. BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS
Required
Building code requirements shall be compiled 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 space is prohibited.
Not Recommended
Fire prevention equipment should not damage the appearance or fabric of the building.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
. Structures like the boathouse are not specifically defined within the Standards and Guidelines, and as such, the
general text covering building materials, as well as those covering entrances, porches, and steps, are considered for
this recommendation. The Standards and Guidelines are explicit that "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" and that "original porch details should not be
replaced with materials representing a different period or style from the original. " Historic precedence exists for
this, in the form of a Certificate of Appropriateness issued in April of 1990 that allowed for the "replacing all wood
on boathouse with wolmanized lumber." The applicant received approval to reconstruct the handrail earlier this
year with RME #2018-0501A. Vinyl is only explicitly mentioned four times in the Standards and Guidelines, in
relation to siding and window awnings, hoods, and fake shutters.
Staff agrees that the railing should be taller to be compliant with State / International Building Code requirements.
The applicant's preference for replacement of the railing is not unfounded, and Staff would support replacement to
comply with Code requirements specifically because of the river -front setting of this structure. However, Staff is
not convinced that enough investigation on the part of the applicant has occurred to warrant a favorable
recommendation. Staff recommends that the application be denied based upon the requirements of the Standards
and Guidelines.

Re: 815 Ach Ave
South Bend, IN 46601
Dear Historic Preservation Committee,
Due to the location of the boathouse on the river (moisture), there's a
deterioration issue when using the existing wood for a handrail, therefore I don't
believe that this material is ideal for this handrail project, thus I am open to any
other design that is more stable, safe, and weather resistant Such as:
Photo 1 is my 1 st choice
Photo 2 is my 2nd choice
Photo 3 is my 3rd choice
Photo 4 is next choice
Photo 5 is my last choice
I have clean intent of what exactly I am wanting to do (photo 1) the others
are back up options. Code height is 36" per Indiana regulation, the handrail in
place now is only 30" — not to code. Sending Ciara Fleming or Ranay Vela to
agree to do whatever commission agrees to do to make property more weather
resistant and stable.
Thank You,
Jason Pfledderer

CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
Date: July 10, 2018
Application Number: 2018-0621C
Property Location: 815 Arch
Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Tudor Revival / 1921 / Ernest W. Young
Property Owner: Jason Pfledderer
Landmark or District Designation: Edgewater Place Local Historic District, Ordinance #6846-80; Local
Landmark, Ordinance #6848-1980
Rating: Outstanding
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: The house sits on the corner of Arch and Edgewater. It is a two-story
with rectangular plan set upon a brick foundation. The main level is red brick laid in running bond. The upper
level surmounts a continuous band of stucco with half timer expressions on the west end. The broad sweeping
asphalt shingled roof lines extend down from the central hip with a variety of intersecting dormers, narrow
overhang lines with moulded wood frieze board. A rectangular boathouse is across from the house along the river.
ALTERATIONS: All of the windows were replaced between 1985 and 1989. The roof is not original to the house.
The doors are replacements. The surfaces of the front walk way, porch steps and porch stoop do not appear to be
original to the house. COA #1985-0926 allowed for the replacement of four windows on the shed dormer at the
northeast side of the house. COA #1986-0819 allowed for re -roofing. COA #1989-0417 allowed for the
replacement of six windows with Polarseal aluminum double hung windows. COA#1989-0801 allowed for
• reconstruction of the main entry. COA #1990-0418 allowed for "replacing all wood on boathouse with wolmanized
lumber. The new construction will duplicate the existing fenestration, elevation, screening, etc. exactly." COA
#2000-0717 allowed for in-kind repairs of a whole in the roof of the boathouse following a tree fall. COA #2003-
0808 allowed for site work and the replacement of the back door. COA #2011-0812 allowed for the removal of the

for the removal of a tree per Brent Thompson, City Forester. COA #2017-0417B allowed for the removal of
windows on the east side of the main house to be replaced with sliding doors, as well as concrete site work. RME
#2018-0501 A allowed for the re -roofing of the boathouse and the reconstruction of the handrail.
APPLICATION ITEMS: "Replacing railing with vinyl railing."
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Applicant seeks approval for the following components:
1. Replace existing wooden railing with multiple spans of 72" x 36" White Vinyl "Premium Colonial 6'
Rail Kit"
SITE VISIT REPORT: N/A
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES, EDGEWATER PLACE:
II. EXISTING STRUCTURES
A. BUILDING MATERIALS
Original exterior wall materials in the District range from brick, clapboard, shingles, and masonry block to aluminum siding. In the majority
of the cases the aluminum siding has been applied over the original clapboard. There are some masonry commercial buildings on
Lincolnway.
Required
Existing 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 structures shall be maintained, tuckpointed and properly cleaned when necessary. Masonry shall be cleaned only when necessary to
halt deterioration or to remove stains, and shall be done with the gentlest method possible, such as low pressure water and soft natural bristle
brushes.
Stucco surfaces shall be maintained by cleaning and repainted when necessary. When repairing stucco a stucco mixture shall be used.
Recommended •
Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored.
Aluminum or vinyl siding may be used when it is the only feasible alternative to maintaining the original surface material. When used over
wood surfaces, this siding should be the same size and style as the original wood. However it must be noted that such material can contribute
to the deterioration of the structure from moisture and insects.
Mortar joints should be repointed only when there is evidence of moisture problems or when sufficient mortar is missing to allow water to
stand in the mortar joint. Existing mortar shall be duplicated in composition, color, texture, joint size, method of application, and joint profile.
D. ENTRANCES, PORCHES, AND STEPS
The majority of the houses in the district have either an open or a enclosed porch across the front or on the side. Most porches have either
gabled or hipped roofs or are covered by the main roof of the house. A brick base with wood columns is common.
Required
Existing or original porches and steps, including handrails, balusters, columns, brackets, tiles and roof decorations shall be retained
or replace 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
Porches and steps that are important to the building's style and development may 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:
Structures like the boathouse are not specifically defined within the Standards and Guidelines, and as such, the
general text covering building materials, as well as those covering entrances, porches, and steps, are considered for
this recommendation. Both sections of the Standards and Guidelines require that existing or original elements be
retained or replaced with replicas of the same design and materials. Historic precedence exists for this, in the form
of a Certificate of Appropriateness issued in April of 1990 that allowed for the "replacing all wood on boathouse
with wolmanized lumber." The applicant received approval to reconstruct the handrail earlier this year with RME •
#2018-0501A. Vinyl is only explicitly mentioned four times in the Standards and Guidelines, in relation to siding
and window awnings, hoods, and fake shutters.
Staff recommends that the application be denied based upon the requirements of the Standards and Guidelines.

Date: September 5, 2018
Application Number: 2018-0815
Property Location: 1242 E Jefferson
Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: French Eclectic / 1927 / Austin & Schambleau
Property Owner: Leo J. McKernan
Landmark or District Designation: East Wayne Street Local Historic District, Ordinance #7796-87
Rating: Outstanding
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: The Dr. Stanley Clark home is situated on a double lot. The main
house is a two and a half story with a rectangular plan set on a concrete foundation with a round tower in the front
next to an off set gabled entry wing with a coat of arms above the doorway. The walls are smooth stucco with
Indiana limestone corner quoins and have end piers projecting from the corners. The roof is steeply pitched with
small hipped dormers and wall dormers; it is covered in slate with copper ridges and finials and downspouts. The
home has multi -paned attenuated casement windows in pairs with transom in segmented arches at the first level all
with stone sills. The side and back entry have copper awnings. The site is formally landscaped in the front and
terraced in the rear. The house is connected to a three car garage by a one story enclosed breeze way with a steep
hip roof in the style of the house.
ALTERATIONS: The breezeway was enclosed after 1943 and the door -window combination on the west side was
added. The swimming pool was installed at a later date. COA #1990-0319 allowed for the replacement of
. windows with Marvin windows and casements, including increasing the kitchen window opening approximately 1'.
COA #2008-1105 was issued (but not implemented) for the addition of a 15' x 19'/2' addition in the southeast
corner of the house.
APPLICATION ITEMS: "Leo McKernan would like to have a 14'-2" x 19' addition added to the south east
corner of his home to accommodate his need to have the living room be in close proximity to the kitchen to reduce
his overall steps taken throughout the day while he resides at his home."
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Applicant seeks approval for the following improvements to the
site:
1. Construction of 14'-2" x 19'-0" (266 square foot) addition at the southeast corner of the main structure,
adjacent to the kitchen.
a. Construction details:
i. Concrete slab foundation,
ii. Walls to be Stucco to match existing,
iii. Flat roof (TPO or PVC over tapered insulation to a roof drain) with Mansard Slate Roof to
mimic the existing slope of the main home and garage,
iv. Custom wood -framed windows by Marvin (inoperable),
b. Existing external windows will be impacted as the structure is constructed, including:
i. Two windows on the east side of the breezeway to the garage will be removed,
ii. One window on the south wall of the existing kitchen will remain but will be inside of the
building.
COA #2008-1105 allowed for the construction of a similar addition to the structure, but it was not completed. The
flat roof and mansard slate roof `wall' ensure that the narrow second story window will not be altered.
• SITE VISIT REPORT: N/A
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES, EAST WAYNE STREET:
III. NEW CONSTRUCTION
New construction includes any new building or structure constructed within the boundaries of the historic district, or any new addition to an
existing building. New construction should be designed considering the appearance of the other buildings in the neighborhood. •
A. HEIGHT AND PROPORTION
The majority of structures in the district are two stories high and are square, rectangular, or irregular in plan. There are a few story -and -a -half
residences. The prevalent facade proportions are between 1:1 and a 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 of the same type in the
same block. Fagade proportions shall be established by permitting no structure with a fagade wider or narrower than those existing in the
same block. Additions to existing buildings shall be related in height and proportion to the existing structure.
Recommended
Contemporary designs should be compatible in character and mood to the building or neighborhood.
Prohibited
Additions may not be constructed that would change the existing fagade of a building, alter its scale or architectural character, or add new
height
Not Recommended
New stories should not be added, nor should existing stories be removed, which would destroy important architectural details, features or
spaces of the building. Any style or period of architecture that is incompatible with what exists should not be permitted in the new additions.
B. BUILDING MATERIALS
Wall materials in the district include brick, stucco, half-timbering, stone, clapboard, shingle, and metal and vinyl siding
Required
Exterior materials used on a new structure shall be compatible in scale, texture and color with adjacent structures. Materials used on an
addition to an existing structure shall relate to the existing or original materials of that structure. 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
Metal or vinyl 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, molded or artificial 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 foundations
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of this project, based upon he
application's conformity to the `new construction' sub -section of the Standards and Guidelines, and the
precedent created through the approval of a similar project in 2008.

STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES, EDGEWATER PLACE:
II. THE ENVIRONMENT
B. BUILDING SITE, LANDSCAPING, AND ACCESSORIES
Individual properties in the district are characterized by a house located in the center of a flat law, often divided by a walk leading to the front
entrance. Many properties have a straight driveway along one edge of the lot leading to a garage at the rear of the house. This driveway
often has a sidewalk along one side leading to the front entrance either in the center or at the side of the house. Driveway and sidewalk
materials include asphalt or concrete. All of the properties have trees; many have trimmed shrubbery and hedges. All of the houses conform
to a uniform setback line within each block.
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 and
trees in close proximity to the buildings 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 plans, trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings and other site
elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and development. Front yard areas shall not be transformed into
parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped. Front yard areas shall not be fenced, with the exception of properties along Lincolnway, which may
be fenced, but not enclosed stockade -type fencing.

STAFF REPORT
• CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
Date: September 10, 2018
Application Number: 2018-0904A
Property Location: 237 N. Michigan Street
Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Renaissance Revival/Chicago School blend/1921/ Nicol, Schuler
and Hoffman
Property Owner: LaSalle Apartments, LLC
Landmark or District Designation: Local Landmark (Ordinance #8652-1996) and Multiple Resource National
Register
Rating: Outstanding
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: The LaSalle Hotel is located on the southwest corner of LaSalle and
Michigan Streets; it is a nine storey hotel constructed of stretcher bond laid brick with decorative and plain -cut
stone string course. The first and second floors on the east and north facades are treated as one floor. The windows
and doorways are flanked by spiral columns and surmounted by round -arched windows with tracery, voussoirs and
keystones. A projecting string course separates the second floor from the third floor which has limestone window
surrounds, as do the single end bay windows and the ninth floor windows. A projecting string course separates the
eighth and ninth floors and the building is surmounted by a wide overhanging cornice. The windows on the first
floor are large, fixed sash plates with multi -light side lights. Other windows are double hung sash in pairs.
ALTERATIONS: All of the single light double hung windows on all of the facades were vinyl replacement
windows from the 1980s -1990s when the Charismatic Renewal Services owned the building. COA 2015-0326B
approved repair and repointing of brick and masonry, replacement of existing vinyl replacement windows with new
aluminum clad wood replacement windows, replacement of doors and awnings, and restoration of existing wood
storefront windows.
APPLICATION ITEMS: "Per enclosed drawings requesting approval of window graphics on each window affd
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Applicant seeks a Certificate of Appropriateness for
improvements on the structure, including:
The application of vinyl window signs for Ancon Construction, the tenant of the corner unit.
a. Vinyl appliques four windows of the office at the northeast corner of the building, two on the
east face and two on the north face.
b. Overall dimensions: approximately 32" x 48"
c. Description of sign design: arched "ANCON CONSTRUCTION" text over the company logo
and the text, "SINCE 1975", with smaller text stating "100% Employee Owned". All text in
gold with black border.
The applicant had originally intended to request a corner mounted illuminated sign, but conversations with the staff
at the Area Plan Commission resulted in dropping that element from the application. The proposed four window
design complies with Area Plan Commission requirements.
The Group B Standards and Guidelines state that "only one appropriate identifying sign will be permitted per
business." Staff believes this stipulation came about as a reaction to an over -abundance of signage on commercial
buildings, specifically hanging or projecting signs. Signage on historic buildings remains contentious — ensuring the
• businesses that occupy and bring people to the structure are properly identified in a tasteful and complimentary way
is paramount to the long-term preservation of the structure itself. Michael J. Auer wrote the following for the
National Park Service in Preservation Brief #25, The Preservation of Historic Signs:
The following points should be considered when designing and constructing new signs for historic buildings:
• signs should be viewed as part of an overall graphics system for the building. They do not have to do
all the "work" by themselves. The building's form, name and outstanding features, both decorative and •
functional, also support the advertising function of a sign. Signs should work with the building, rather
than against it.
• new signs should respect the size, scale and design of the historic building. Often features or details of
the building will suggest a motif for new signs.
• sign placement is important: new signs should not obscure significant features of the historic building.
(Signs above a storefront should fit within the historic signboard, for example)
• new signs should also respect neighboring buildings. They should not shadow or overpower adjacent
structures.
• sign materials should be compatible with those of the historic building. Materials characteristic of the
building's period and style, used in contemporary designs, can form effective new signs.
• new signs should be attached to the building carefully, both to prevent damage to historic fabric, and
to ensure the safety of pedestrians. Fittings should penetrate mortar joints rather than brick, for
example, and signloads should be properly calculated and distributed.
The proposed design compliments the architectural elements of the building (mimicking the curvature of the
windows), is a facsimile of the gold -leaf signage that was so prevalent in the late 19t' and early 201 century, and is
respectful to the size and scale of the windows themselves.
Other communities with large concentrations of historic commercial buildings have exemptions for the number of
allowable windows with signs within their Standards and Guidelines.
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES:
GROUP B STANDARDS
The Commission has the authority to determine the architectural merits and the extent of any proposed treatment, renovation,
or addition to a historic landmark. The commission will require drawings, plans, specifications, and/or samples where •
appropriate.
A. Maintenance
The maintenance of any historical structure or site shall in no way involve any direct physical change except for the general
cleaning and upkeep of the landmark. The Commission shall encourage the proper maintenance of all structure or sites.
B. Treatment
Treatment shall be defined as any change of surface materials that will not alter the style or original form. Such improvements
include re -roofing, glazing, or landscaping lawns and may involve a change that can potentially enhance or detract from the
character of the landmark. A treatment change of any surface whether on the landmark or in its environment may require a
Certificate of Appropriateness if it significantly alters the appearance of the landmark. Although these kinds of changes may
not require a Building Permit, a Certificate of Appropriateness may be necessary. The commission should review the proposed
treatment for character and style consistency with the original surfaces.
C. Renovation and Additions
Renovation is the modification of a structure, which does not alter the general massing while and addition, is a change in mass.
A modification, which involves the removal of a part of the landmark, should be considered under demolition (see demolition).
Additions to landmarks should not detract from the original form and unity of 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 supergraphics 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 is cognizant of recent precedent regarding the proposed
installation of multiple signs on other downtown commercial buildings (see the J.M.S. Building). Bearing
that in mind, staff approves the format and appearance of the proposed signs — as they are historic and
complimentary to the building's character — but would encourage debate regarding the number to be
installed. It is also worth noting, however, that only the "The LaSalle" blade sign above the east entrance
was approved by the Commission. All other window signs appear to have been installed un -reviewed.
They are not, however, part of this application and need not be scrutinized as a part of it.
As to specific recommendations per the number of installations, Historic Preservation Administrator
Feasel advocates for the installation of half the number of window signs (one each on the North and East
faces). Historic Preservation Specialist Toering believes the wording of the Standards and Guidelines to
be unintentionally ambiguous, and that further revision of those standards may be in order to better
accommodate the various kinds of signage that can be found on historic commercial buildings. With
regards to this particular application, Specialist Toering would advocate for the allowance of all four of
the requested window signs.

Application Number: 2018-0904B
Property Location: 326 Marion
Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Gable front/l882/Moore House
Property Owner: Jason Dobosiewicz
Landmark or District Designation: Chapin Park Local Historic District, Ordinance #9574-05 and Chapin Park
National Register District
Rating: Non-contributing
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: One story, rectangular plan, gable front cottage with simple lines and
proportions is slightly elevated from street. Windows are double hung 1/1. There is a stained-glass transom window
above front door.
ALTERATIONS: A %2 width symmetrical front porch with flat roof and decorative turned posts was removed
without COA sometime between 2004 and 2009. A treated wood deck with rails has been installed without COA.
Siding is non -original vinyl. Windows are not original. Front storm door is aluminum.
APPLICATION ITEMS: "Storage shed"
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT:
• 1. Storage Shed
Application to approve a new 16' x 16' x 12' high (approximately two stories) "shed" in rear of
property. Construction has commenced without approved COA or permit. Project was red tagged by
the Building Department on 7/2/2018. Completed structure will feature a flat sloped roof to be covered
in asphalt shingles, T-111 siding, a total of five 1/1 double hung vinyl windows, and a vinyl door with
oval window, see photos. Although the shed height is taller than the one story house it is associated
with, there is a 6' privacy fence dividing the house from the shed, making the shed appear from the
public view to be related to the nearby two story house on William. With the privacy fence dividing the
house and shed, the site of the shed is actually incorporated with the pool area in the rear of 322 Marion
(also in Chapin Park and HPC fagade easement). The ability to see the "shed" is mainly from William
Street as it is situated beyond a 6' privacy fence that surrounds it on two sides.
2. Front Porch
Application to approve a 12' x 12' deck centered on front of house. Construction has commenced
without approved COA or permit. Project was red tagged by the Building Department on 6/13/2014.
Two former porches had flat roofs, turned posts, and no railings although they were already missing or
rotted when applicant began project. Completed deck is constructed of treated wood, had standard deck
railings, and extends the depth approximately six feet. There is currently no roof. A new front gable
roof that will mimic the roofline of the house is proposed.
SITE VISIT REPORT:
June 27, 2018
RE: 326 Marion
At approximately 8:30 AM, I was driving northbound on William street. Upon crossing Madison St. I noticed a
new structure behind 426 William/326 Marion. I immediately stopped and photographed the structure. I then drove
to the building department to inquire if permits had been issued for the project. There were none and I was able to
• talk to Inspector John Smith who said he would be out there tomorrow to red tag the project. I also learned that the
unfinished front porch of the house located at this address was red tagged on June 13`x' by Inspector Smith.
I was on route to the address again to get a photo of the front of the property when I contacted Code Enforcement
Inspector Steve Meadows. He and I walked this block of William and Marion last week and I wanted to make him
aware. He was nearby and offered to meet me there. We looked around and Jason who is the owner of the property
as well as the adjacent property came out, said hello and offered to let us in to look at the structure. He described it
as above ground playhouse and he did not need a permit for building it. I referenced the Chapin Park guidebook •
that included the section on new structures and outbuildings. I informed him that it need HPC approval and because
of its size would most likely need a permit. I called the building department and they confirmed that anything over
120 square foot footprint would need a permit. The owner confirmed the size to be approximately 16 x 16 feet.
He became upset when I told him that this would need HPC approval. He told me to leave and stay off of his
property. I offered him the guidebook and he took it and threw it onto a chair. I immediately walked out of the yard
and into the adjacent parking lot owned by Temple Beth -el where I parked. He told me he will deal with HPC, we
can tag him all we want and it doesn't mean anything because we cannot do anything. He also told me to get a real
job where I actually have some power and do something. He was becoming increasingly more agitated as he spoke
to a neighbor. Steve Meadows and I talked for a moment then I thought it best to leave as his anger was directed
towards me. I drove around the corner then I waited in the car around the corner with Inspector Meadows in view
until he also left.

5565-73, as amended, a Certificate of Appropriateness (C of A) would be required for any activity in the district which requires a building
permit or which alters the appearance of a building or site, including houses, garages, and other outbuildings, as seen from the streets around
the property.
II. EXISTING STRUCTURES
A. 13UILDING 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. •
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.
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 facade 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 faVade 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.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 1. A more appropriate design for this site would be to reduce the shed size to
about 10' x 12' and reduce the height by a half story. However, with the site in relation to adjacent properties, and
that it is not permanent, the structure could be considered by the Commission with a conditional approval that all
other Building Codes are met. If a variance or special exception is required, the applicant would reapply with an
amended design. 2. The Standards and Guidelines are explicit regarding replicating the same design or by a
design more in keeping with the historic period of the structure. A flat roof with no railing is recommended but an
increase in the depth of deck and roof could be considered.

STAFF REPORT
CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
Date: September 5, 2018
Application Number: 2018-0906
Property Location: 601 N Lafayette Boulevard
Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Gabled -el / 1897
Property Owner: DSN IRA, LLC
Landmark or District Designation: Chapin Park Local (Ordinance #9574-05) and National Historic District
Rating: Non -Contributing
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/SITE: This structure is a one and a half story frame home that originally had
wood siding and wood shingle roof. The foundation is a combination of brick and concrete. The house is currently
sided in vinyl and has long 2/2 original windows in some of the lower openings and vinyl replacement windows in
the remainder.
ALTERATIONS: The house was converted into three apartments in 1945. A 12' x 12' porch was added to the
second floor in 1949. Asphalt shingles were installed on the roof in the 1940s. The porch on the first floor south
side was removed in the 1940s. Exterior stairs were added to access the second story apartment. The vinyl siding
and replacement windows are not original. COA #2005-0607 allowed for re -roofing, fascia and soffit repair, and
site maintenance. COA #2009-1005A allowed for the gutters to be replaced. RME #2018-0906A allowed for the
replacement of two vinyl windows with like, removal of one vinyl window and replacement with vinyl siding,
replacement of three entry doors with like, and reconstruction / rebuilding of wooden second -story stairs.
• APPLICATION ITEMS: "Replace windows and doors, block on window, install new gutters and aluminum
soffits, aluminum trim [w]rapping on all windows."
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Applicant seeks a Certificate of Appropriateness for
improvements on the structure:
1. Windows -
a. Removal and replacement of two original wood windows on the south face of the house, to be
replaced with vinyl windows of the same size.
b. Removal and replacement of one original wood window on the west face of the house, to be
replaced with vinyl window of the same size.
2. Gutters and Soffits —
a. Remove and replace wood soffits with aluminum.
b. Install aluminum gutters (this would qualify for a `Routine Maintenance Exclusion' but its
installation is contingent upon the Soffit condition / material, therefore it is included here).
3. Window Trim
a. Install aluminum trim to cover all existing (and proposed replacement) windows.
SITE VISIT REPORT:
September 6, 2018
On August 16, 2018 I visited the property located at 601 N Lafayette. I noticed a window had been
replaced and the old window resting against the house. I approached the gentleman that was at the house and
introduced myself. He identified himself as the new owner and explained he was unaware of the requirements that
came with a property located in a locally designated historic district.
• I gave him a copy of the Chapin Park LHD guidebook and my and [Specialist Toering's] business cards.
He explained to me what his intentions are with the house and what he would like to replace in the near future.
I photographed the window that was removed and each window that is currently in place.
Windows:
17 windows are currently vinyl replacement windows. Only two of those had been changed out by this
new owner. The windows currently are Kinro brand vinyl windows. These are manufactured housing and •
recreational vehicle windows made in Elkhart County. The photographs of the one that was removed will show the
quality of those windows.
There are 5 original windows remaining.
Two large double hung wood windows on the south face of the structure have multiple repairs including
metal angle brackets and screws. The original storms are missing and have allowed the deep window framework to
collect the elements and rot out the bottom sash and sill. Water stains are present on the inside wall material as a
result of the water infiltration. These two windows will need the jambs rebuilt and the lower sashes remade or
replaced. I believe these are beyond repair. The two upper sashes are structurally intact but have started to separate.
There is ample caulk applied to these sashes which has caused greater separation and damage. Still repairable but
will require considerable attention.
There is one more double hung wood window located on the west side of the structure that have been
spared from the onslaught of the elements due to the proximity of the neighboring house. This will need
considerable attention however including stripping, re -glazing, re -roping, and some repair where it looks like the
lower sash had been forced open.
The last two original windows are non-operable windows that needs glazing and some trim repair or
replacement.
The owner also showed me the rotting wood on the exterior staircase that will need to be replaced. He had
some concerns on the structural stability of the posts and bracing holding that staircase in place as well.

STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: CHAPIN PARK
II. EXISTING STRUCTURES
A. BUILDING MATERIALS
Original exterior building materials in the district include brick, stucco, clapboard, wood shingles, and brick or stone masonry. In some
instances, vinyl, composite and aluminum siding have been applied over the original material.
•
Required
Original exterior building materials shall be retained when possible. Deterioration of wood materials shall be prevented through
repair, cleaning and painting. The existing architectural detail around windows, porches, doors and eaves shall be retained or
replaced by replicas of the same design when deteriorated beyond repair.
Masonry, including brick and stucco structures, shall be maintained, and properly cleaned only when necessary to halt deterioration or to
remove stains and shall be done in a method acceptable for the preservation of the surface: i.e. low-pressure water and soft natural bristle
brushes. Brick or masonry mortar joints should be repointed only when there is evidence of moisture problems, or when sufficient mortar is
missing to allow water to stand in the mortar joint. Existing mortar shall be duplicated in composition, color, texture, joint size, method of
application and joint profile.
When repairing stucco, stucco mixture shall be used. A professional shall make a study of the old stucco, to determine the exact mixture and
underlayment used in the original work. Some repair methods are not compatible with the original techniques and may cause early
disintegration of the repair work and the original work.
Ample ventilation must be afforded the structure when siding is installed, in order to prevent increased deterioration of the structure from
moisture and insects.
Recommended
Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored. When maintaining or repairing original siding is not feasible,
aluminum, vinyl or composite siding may be used. When used over wood surfaces, this siding should be the same size and style as the
original wood. Every effort should be made to retain the original trim around windows, doors, cornices gables, eaves and other
architectural features.
Property owners should contact the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County prior to initiating any restoration
or rehabilitation effort. [ Address and contact information is listed in the front of the Guidebook.] The Commission is an invaluable source
of information about all facets of rehabilitation and restoration — materials, methods, contractors and the like.
Prohibited
Wood siding shall not be resurfaced with new materials that is inappropriate or was unavailable when the building was constructed, such as
artificial stone, brick veneer, asbestos or asphalt shingles.
Sandblasting or the use of harsh detergents shall not be used on masonry including brick, stucco, limestone, flagstone and sandstone. This
method of cleaning erodes the surface material and accelerates deterioration.
Repointing shall not be done with a mortar of high Portland cement content which can often create a bond that is stronger than the building
material. Usage of Portland cement can cause deterioration as a result of the differing coefficient of expansion and porosity of the historic
masonry unit and the mortar. This most often results in serious damage to adjacent brick.
Unpainted masonry surfaces shall not be painted unless they had been painted originally. Paint shall not be removed from masonry surfaces
•
by any means that damage the surface.
Not Recommended
Waterproof or water repellant coatings or surface consolidation treatments should not be used on masonry surfaces unless required to solve a
specific problem that has been studied and identified. Coatings are frequently unnecessary and expensive, and can accelerate deterioration of
the masonry. Mortar joints, which do not need repointing, should not be repointed. Wood siding should not be power -washed.
B. ROOFS AND ROOFING
• Roof shapes in the district encompass all the various designs found in residential structures: hipped, gabled, gambrel, flat and
combinations of these. Roofs are covered with a variety of materials such as asphalt, asbestos, wood and slate shingles as well as clay
tiles. Residences in most cases have wood fascias with gutters and downspouts. The fascias of some vinyl- and aluminum -sided houses
are covered with the same materials.
Required
The existing shape and type of materials of the roof shall be retained. All architectural features, which give the roof its essential character,
shall be retained, including dormer windows, cupolas, cornices, brackets, chimneys, cresting and weather vanes.
Recommended
The original shape and materials of the roof should be restored. Particular effort should be made to retain materials such as slate,
tile and other unique materials not commonly found in new construction. Roof covering which is deteriorated beyond repair should
be replaced with new material that matches as closely as possible the original in composition, size, shape, color and texture. Gutters
and downspouts are often a necessary adjunct in order to prevent deterioration of the structure; they should be maintained
whenever possible or replaced with a style comparable and suitable to the architectural period.
Prohibited
Nothing shall be done to change the essential character of the roof as viewed from a street by adding architectural features or large unsightly
fixtures, or by using materials inappropriate to the style of the house. The roof shall not be stripped of architectural features important to its
character.
Not Recommended
Overhanging eaves, soffit, brackets and gables should not be covered or enclosed when adding siding to a building.
C. WINDOWS AND DOORS
Window and door frames are in most cases wood and vary depending upon the style of the home. Many are double -hung windows with
wood trim and sills. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels. In some cases where aluminum siding has been applied, the window
and door trim has been covered. About half of the structures in the district have aluminum storm windows; the other half have wood storm
windows.
Required
Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods and
hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced with units and trim resembling the original.
Recommended
Wood storm windows and doors painted or finished to match the original should be used but should not damage existing frames. If
new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design and hardware should be used. When metal storm doors
are used, they should be painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used, they should be of canvas
• material.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Per Inspector Szaday's site visit, only five wood windows remain on the structure. Of those, the most
character defining are the two on the south (W. Navarre) facing side. The house has been extensively
modified to the detriment of much of the character of the original construction, with many features
covered, removed, added -to, or enclosed. The structure is rated non -Contributing per the most recent
county -wide survey, and staff is of the opinion that this is an appropriate rating.
Staff would divide the application into two components: 1) the replacement of the two original windows
with vinyl, 2) the installation of aluminum soffits, gutters, and window trim. As to the replacement of the
original windows, Staff makes no recommendation. As to the installation of the aluminum soffits, gutters,
and trim, staff makes a favorable recommendation.

Rating: Outstanding
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: This four-story house with an irregular plan has a 12/12 red tile
covered central hip roof with numerous intersecting hips, towers, and gables, and a simple eave line with copper
gutters. The exterior walls and foundations are rough stone, with limestone window and door trim. The house has
large bay windows on the north fagade, a four-story tower at the northeast corner, projecting turret with conical roof
at the southeast corner, a steep gable on the port-cochere at the west end, and six stone chimneys with simple
banding and cut stone caps. Most windows are one -over -one wood double -hung; there are also windows with
double transoms, as well as a few Gothic windows. Generally, windows are deeply recessed and feature stone
lintels and sills. At the west end of the house, colonnettes flank six windows with double transoms on the fourth
floor, while first story windows are set in rounded heavy stone arches with colonettes. The front entry porch is
enclosed by round stone arches supported by clusters of Romanesque columns. The porte-cochere has intersecting
• gables and large arched openings. The rear veranda stretches around the south and east, featuring short
Romanesque columns with a variety of capitals. Doors are wood.
ALTERATIONS: COA 1979-1107 to convert house into a restaurant through exterior changes listed in Appendix
I (including #10: enclosing rear garden veranda) was denied. COA 1979-1217 addressed concerns discussed on
previous COA to convert house into a restaurant; it was conditionally approved pending treatment of the porte-
cochere. COA 1980-0219, upon review for the third time, approved conversion of the house into a restaurant,
enclosure of the porte-cochere doorway openings with nonfunctional paneled wood doors, and enclosure of rear
veranda with 6- and 3- light casement and fixed wood windows. COA 1980-0317 approved construction of a stone
sign south of the Washington Street entrance. COA 1980-0903 approved construction of a wooden fence to enclose

kind replacement of front steps and repair of north garden wall. Six- and three -light casement and fixed windows
enclosing rear veranda have been replaced with new vinyl windows without COA approval, in violation of
Ordinance Section 21-100(10). COA 2017-0214A to replace wood windows in rear veranda with vinyl windows
encased with wood molding to cover all exposed vinyl was denied. COA 2017-0601 (to remove and replace vinyl
windows) applied, subsequently withdrawn. COA 2017-0818 to remove 21 vinyl windows, replacing with new
custom wood windows was approved with a timeline of completing Southeast side in Spring 2018 and South side in
Fall 2018.
APPLICATION ITEMS: "This COA is to request a postponement of the south covered porch windows in order to
prioritize the restoration of original windows to the main house. This has been discussed with Elicia Feasel at HPC
and Todd Zeiger with Indiana Landmarks who are in agreement with our request. Requesting to prioritize this fall
the restoration of several much-needed windows on the upper East and South side of the house and postpone the
replacement of the porch windows on the South side to spring of 2019."
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Application is to request an extension until spring 2019 for the
fall 2018 deadline to complete the installation of new custom wood windows to the South side of the rear covered
porch. Approving the extension will enable the owners to prioritize the restoration of the original wood windows on
the main house.
SITE VISIT REPORT: n/a
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: n/a
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends extending the deadline for the porch windows until Spring
2019 but that it should not exceed that timeframe. A COA for window restoration should be applied for and will be
processed by Staff as a Routine Maintenance Exclusion.

•PRESERVATION SPECIALIST REPORT:
September 5, 2018
On August 10, 2018 I stopped at the property located at 510 S St Joseph. This property is within the
Taylor's Field Locally Designated Historic District. I noticed work being performed and piles of both new and
removed materials on site. I met Charles who is the owner's representative. He informed me that the crew that was
on site was kicked off the job for sub -par work and that they had not pulled the necessary permits.
I saw a new wooden staircase on the south side of the house where the previous wooden one was. I noticed
the sculpted block knee wall that was at the bottom of the previous staircase was removed. I also saw new wooden
fence panels both in place and stacked on the ground.
I returned to the property on September 4, 2018 to meet with Charles and discuss the COA application
items up for Commission review.
Fence: Most of the posts were original with some new ones replacing old. The panels are similar to those
that were there according to the 2013 digital file photos. The footprint does not appear to have been altered based
upon those 2013 photographs.
Exterior Side Staircase: the new staircase is sturdy and composed of wood as the previous staircase was. I
requested that the contractor confer with the building department to make sure the baluster spacing meet code
requirements. The remaining block and concrete landing and steps are failing. The steps have sunken to the south
and there is a washout spot on the southeast base of the structure has left a deep void underneath. The removal of
the knee wall has left the underground staircase to the cellar exposed and should be addressed.
Windows: The owner has proposed the replacement of 7 original wood double -hung windows. I was unable
to inspect the windows in the second floor as the apartment is occupied and the renter was not home. The four on
the first level all have lower sashes that are broken and each have metal angle brackets holding the sashes together.
These sashes are missing ropes and are not rotted, but rather are structurally damaged beyond repair. The metal
storm windows are missing screens but have kept the original sashes and sills safely out of the elements. The upper
sashes are painted and nailed in place.
Front Steps: The front steps are failing. I believe they are past the point of merely "capping", and should be
removed and replaced entirely. The porch may be tall enough that the building department may require a handrail
added. I defer to local ordinance.
Siding: The siding on the dormers have both mastic/asphalt siding and asphalt shingles. The 2013 file
photographs show a better view of what was in place then. There are places where siding has been replaced with
plywood and left unfinished. The remainder of the house is covered with wood clap board with a 4" reveal. •

STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: Taylor's Field Local Historic District Guidelines
I. THE ENVIRNOMENT
A. THE DISTRICT ENVIRONMENT
I ... I
B. BUILDING SITE, LANDSCAPING AND ACCESSORIES
Individual properties in the district are characterized by a house located near the front of each lot with a small to medium lawn
in front and little to no lawn at the rear of the property. Often the back yard is used as a parking lot for tenants. About half of
the properties include a garage which is either located at the rear of the property and accessed from unpaved alleys running
behind the property or located directly next to the structure and accessed by small drives. Nearly all of the garage structure
and accessed by small drives. Nearly all of the garage structures are out of date, single -stall frame buildings. One larger
carriage house still stands in the district. Most properties have trees, shrubbery and/or hedges. Most houses conform to the
uniform set -back within each block.
Required
Plants, trees, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house numbers) and benches which reflect the property's history
and development shall be retained.
Recommended
New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of past appearance of the property found in photographs, drawings, and
newspapers. New site work should be appropriate to existing surrounding site elements in scale, Type, and appearance.
Accessory structures such as decks, gazebos, fountains and/or small outbuildings should be appropriate to surrounding site
elements in scale, type, and appearance. Plant materials and trees in close proximity to the building and causing deterioration
to the building's historic fabric should be removed and replaced by suitable flora as approved by the Historic Preservation
Commission.
Prohibited
No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings or other site
elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and development. Front yard areas shall not be
transformed into parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped. Front yard areas shall not be fenced or fences shall not extend •
forward beyond the setback line of the house. The installation of unsightly devices such as television satellite dishes, solar
panels and skylights shall not be premised in areas where they can be viewed from the public thoroughfare.
IL EXISTING STRUCTURES
A. BUILDING MATERIALS
Original exterior wall materials in the district include limestone, flagstone, stucco, clapboard, wood shingles, sandstone 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 or original architectural detail 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, limestone,
flagstone, sandstone, 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 bushes. No
chemicals, sand blasting or other invasive methods may be used to clean historic buildings. When repairing stucco, stucco
mixture compatible in composition, color, and texture shall be used.
Recommended
Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored. Metal or vinyl siding may be used when it is the only
alternative to maintaining or replacing 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 the windows, doors,
cornices, gables, eaves, and other architectural features. Ample ventilation must be afforded the structure when metal or vinyl
siding has been 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. It is emphasized that, prior to initiating any restoration or rehabilitation effort, the property
owner contact the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend & St. Joseph County at 125 Lafayette, South Bend. The
Commission is an invaluable source of information about all facets of rehabilitation and restoration.
Prohibited
Wood siding shall not be resurfaced with new material which 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. Brick surfaces shall not be painted unless they had been painted originally.
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.
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. This can cause deterioration as a result of the differing coefficient of expansion and the differing
porosity of the material and the mortar which can result in serious damage to adjacent brick. Paint shall not be removed from
masonry surfaces indiscriminately
B. ROOFS AND ROOFING
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
additional 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 shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods, and
hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced with units and trim resembling the original.
Recommended
Wood frame storm windows and doors painted to match the original should be used but should not damage existing frames
and should be removable. If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design, and hardware should
be used. When metal storm doors and windows are used, they should be painted, anodized or coated to match the existing.
When awnings are used they should be of canvas material.
Prohibited
Original doors, windows, and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and re -used in place. New window
and door openings which would alter the scale and proportion of the building shall not be introduced. Inappropriate new
window and door features, such as aluminum insulating glass combinations that require the removal of the original windows
and doors, shall not be installed.
Not Recommended
Awnings, hoods, and fake shutters made of metal, vinyl, or fiberglass should not be used if they would detract from the
existing character or appearance of the building.
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
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 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
F retained.
Recommended
When enclosing porches for heat conservation or other reasons, it should be done in a manner that does not alter the
architectural or historical character of the building.
Prohibited
Front porches, stoops, patios, 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.
E. MECHANICAL SYSTEMS
[...1
III. NEW CONSTRUCTION
l ... l
IV. SAFETY AND BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS
A. BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS
Required
Building code requirements shall be compiled with in such a manner that the existing character of the building is preserved.
Recommended
Local 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 or existing exits and spaces is
prohibited.
Not Recommended
Fire prevention equipment should not damage the appearance or fabric of the building.
B. ACCESS FOR HANDICAPPED OR DISABLED PERSONS
V. GENERAL
l ... l
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This property has 1) an extensive history of modification and alteration, 2)
existed as rental property for the majority of its existence (records indicate the structure was subdivided sometime
after 1970). As a subdivided structure, multiple ingress/egress openings have been added over the years, requiring
consistent (and documented) reconstruction.
Regarding the external stairwell: in the period of time from the establishment of the district in 1998 until today,
three out of the five Certificates of Appropriateness on file for this property have been received for projects related
to the external staircases. As such, precedent has been established and staff recommends approval. is
Regarding the low stone and brick wall: of the prior projects, COA #2003-0308 explicitly stated that "the
existing stone and brick structure along the south side of the house, enclosing cellar stairs andpartly
supporting the existing stair to the second floor, is to be retained and repaired. " Inspector Szaday
confirmed that the structure was being `washed out.' The structure has been removed, and its likelihood
of reconstruction is low. Staff makes no recommendation.
Regarding the retroactive reconstruction of the fence using the existing fence posts, staff recommends
approval.
Regarding the removal and replacement of the windows with Jeld-Wen vinyl windows, staff recommends
approval based upon Inspector Szaday's opinion of the existing window condition.
Regarding the replacement of the exterior mastic siding with vinyl siding on the rear upper story of the
structure, staff recommends approval.

Details on requested repairs on 510 S. St. Joseph St.
Overview;
We purchased this property late last year. It is a 4plex with a lot of deferred maintenance. Two of the 4
apartments were rented at the time of purchase. Currently, we have rehabbed one of the apartments
and have two other being rehabbed. The property has a long list of deferred maintenance items. it has
a concrete block addition which is sinking and also needs to be addressed. We are also working on
plumbing, HVAC issues and drainage issues. Our objective right not is to get any safety issues resolved
and to fix any critical issues with the property. We also would like to find a way to make the property
more maintainable.
Externally we are requesting approval to do the following projects.
Outdoor side Stair replacement. These stairs were failing and needed to be replaced. They
were never install property and were attached to a stone and brick wall which was about to fail.
We replaced the steps without approval, therefore we have pictures of the actual replacement
step. I have included pictures of the new steps and the old steps from the street.
2. Replacement of fallen down fence. We have installed the fence in the back of the property.
. Included is a picture of the new fence.
3. Windows. We requesting replacement of 7 windows on the west side of the house. These
windows no longer have the weight system working. Since they are large windows they do not
stay up and the wood is deteriorating. The current windows are wood and on the exterior there
are aluminum storm windows. The storm windows are painted red. We are requesting the
removal of both the wood windows and the storm windows. The new windows would be white
and would be custom sized to fix exactly in the existing window frame. The windows we are
planning to purchase are Jeld-Wen Best Series model JW1438. We would purchase from
Menards. There are other windows in the house which were replaced with white vinyl windows.
I have pictures of the windows we are requesting replacement and we purchased 1 custom
window so you can see it has a similar sized frame as the original windows. Long term we would
like to find a paint scheme which would incorporate white windows. We are open to any
suggestions
4. The siding on the second floor in the back is in poor shape some is green and other is red all do
not match the house. We would plan to put in vinyl siding to come close to matching the house
color. See pictures
