Please let me know if the attached application, design idea, and photos are what you need. Again, as I mentioned over the phone, it did not seem apparent to me, per the Chapin Park guidebook, that when we are building a low platform deck that doesn't affect any architectural aspects of the home, especially in the backyard, that we needed to do this . But so that everything is in the clear, I hope this can be approved in-house by you, and I look forward to hearing back. Thank you. John P.S. For your enjoyment, also attaching a front shot of the home with new landscaping (almost) complete, including recycled slate which came with our home, on the side path, originally salvaged from Studebaker Elementary School. _____________ John Sikorski, PhD Postdoctoral Teaching Scholar To help protect your privacy, Microsoft Office prevented automatic download of this picture from the Internet.Mendoza College of Business On Wed, Jul 22, 2020 at 3:47 PM Adam Toering <atoering@southbendin.gov> wrote: John, Good to catch up with you regarding your projects since we last talked. Attached is the enterable PDF Certificate of Appropriateness application. Fill it out and send it back to me. The ‘Project Description’ entry can be a bit finnicky, so take care when entering your information. Please attach a site plan indicating where the 20” platform would sit on your property in relation to the rest of your house. Photographs of the area (and of the previously approved and completed projects) would be appreciated. Administrative Approvals still require the $20 application fee. Payment can be made over the phone by calling Business Licensing Administrator Michelle Adams at 574‐235‐5912. 2 Once I’ve received everything, Elicia and I will review it accordingly. I’ve cc’d Elicia and Inspector Van Overberghe on this exchange. Best to you and yours, and congrats on your new position!

What’s up? Please remember that any change to the exterior of your home requires a Certificate of Appropriateness from our office. We issued a number of approvals for work back in October of 2018 for window/door work, siding, foundation, and landscaping. Unfortunately all of those approvals would be expired by now, as they are good for one year. 3 I’d love to hear how your previous projects tuned out, as well as what’s next for your property. I also want to make sure you are ‘above board.’ I’ll try and call you this afternoon at 3pm with the number I have on file. I’ll be out of the office from now until 2pm, but will be available after.
