FROM: Brian Poland, member Hoosier Celebration Committee
RE: HOOSIER CELEBRATION '88
DATE: 21 January 1988
Hoosier Celebration '88 is a year long celebration of Hoosier
pride and an open invitation to Hoosiers to come back home to
Indiana. This was designated by Governor Orr. The local Hoosier
Celebration Committee has met several times and requests that two
local sites be designated as landmarks in honor of this celebration.
These dre:..!.,= the Navarre Cabin and the Council Oak tree.
The Northern Indiana Historical Society (NIHS) owns the Cabin and
is willing to have it designated. No formal discussions have occurred
with the owner of Highland Cemetery regarding the Council Oak designation.
However, I foresee several items that need to be resolved before
any designation should occur.
1) Navarre Cabin
The NIHS is agreeable to designation. However, NIHS has only
possession of the Cabin, not the land upon which it sits. The
City owns the land (Leeper Park). No legal description of the
Cabin's location is known to exist, which is needed under our
Landmark procedures. How would we obtain a description and who
is to pay for it?
2) Council Oak
Two questions need to be addressed here.
Currently our Landmark Standards do not discuss how to review
changes to a "site" or to a "tree" (depending on which the
Council Oak is to be identified as). Therefore, we would have
to prepare a new set of standards to review this type of landmark.
Secondly, the boundaries of the site need to be defined,
recognizing that several graves are located under the tree. We
would have to obtain consent from a multitude of property owners.
RECOMMENDATION is that these two "sites" be given honorary landmark
designation for purposes of the Hoosier Celebration and present the
owners with a plaque.
Resolution to proceed with the amendment to ordinance No. 111-78 (which
was to designate 19109 Johnson Road, St. Joseph County as a local
landmark) to define the legal description to encompass 5.484 acres.
To notify the owner, and to send to the Landmark Committee for a report
and recommendation before Second Reading at the next regularly scheduled
meeting February 15, 1988.
BILL NO ____ ORDINANCE NO._____________

Dear Representative:
Enclosed is a copy of a resolution recently adopted by the
Historic Preservation Commission of South Lend and St.
Joseph County in support of the proposed state legislation
entitled the "Hometown Indiana Grant Program".
The Historic Preservation Commission respectfully requests
your support of this legislation. We all are quite aware
that the federal support of programs similar to the ones
cohered under the legislation are dwindling. It is
therefore encumbent upon the individual states to fill in
the gap.
Vie hope that the Indiana legislature recognizes this need
and will pass this proposed legislation as a means to fill
that funding gap.
Respectfully yours,
Brian L. Poland
Preservation Planner

Urban Park and Recreation Recovery program, Historic Preservation Rehabilitation
Grant Program, Urban Forestry Grant Program, which have encouraged local government
to provide facilities and resources for these valued services, have virtually been

created a serious burden on local units of government to provide even the most
basic services.
