APPENDIX B —1 historicpreservation co ission of south bend and st. joseph county ROOM 1123 COUNTY CITY BUILDING south bend, indiana 46601 (219) 284-9798 March 16, 1988 STAFF REPORT 12594 S.R. 23 Granger, IN 46530 PROPOSAL The owner is seeking approval of new elevations for the retail center east of the Goff house and barn. The retail center was originally approved March 16, 1987. The building size and placement on the site is unchanged from the original plan. The building's height is approximately 25 feet at the 1st floor peal; and 34 feet at the 2nd floor peak. In comparison the height of the barn is approximately 24 feet. The surface material is rough sawn fir siding. The siding is vertically oriented on the sides and rear, but horizontally oriented on the front (north) elevation. The front elevation is accented by brick veneer below the window sill line. The owner proposes two options regarding the 2nd floor apartment: Option 1 includes a 2nd floor apartment partially visible to the street. Option 2 deletes the 2nd floor apartment. In addition, the owner wishes to reaffirm the HPC's approval of the changes to the barn. The HPC approved the tentative plans for the barn, asking for more definite drawings in January 28, 1987. The work has not been completed, and the C of A six month time limit has expired. STANDARDS Renovations and additions Additions to landmarks should be added in a manner that does not disrupt the visible unity or overall appearance of the site. The proportions, materials, and ratios of the existing structures should be carried through in the additions. RECOMMENDATION ON The new elevations have design characteristics similar to that of the previously approved landscape building and the barn, an important factor in creating a visual unity between the new and the original buildings. However, the new elevations show a different orientation of the siding_ material on the front elevation versus the other elevations. Visual consistency and unity is an important factor in the design of the neiki building itself. The orientation of the siding material should be consistent on all elevations of the retail structure. The front elevation also introduces a brick veneer half -wall, adding a new surface material. The new design introduces a 2nd floor, which was not included in the original design. The exposed wall with the shed roof to the rear adds a prominent vertical element into an otherwise horizontally oriented design. The height of this peak appears to be higher than the barn. Creating a small gable slope to the front will lessen the vertical prominence of this element. Staff recommendation is for the approval of the new elevations with Option 1 to include the 2nd floor apartment with the following comments: 1. The siding material should be consistent on all sides, preferably with a vertical orientation to be consistent with the barn and the new building. 2. The brick veneer should be deleted. 3. The 2nd floor roof line should be changed as discribed above. Staff recommends that the tentative approval of the changes to the barn be reaffirmed, pending receipt of definitive plans regarding the doors.

Milton Emmaus Lutheran Church DATE: 3/16/88 On March 21, 1988 agenda, there wi 1 1 be a first reading for landmarking the church listed above. This potential landmark was discussed by the Landmark Committee on February 24, 1988. At that time the Committee was informed of the request by Reverend Zehnder• to landmark his church. The church was built in 1920 and is rated Cfr10. Our survey card lists no other information. Because the church does not meet the basic ratings criteria. (s/11), additional information was requested as to its historic value. This information was to include the architect and historical background of the congregation. The church was reportedly designed by a church supported architect who had designed other Lutheran churches in Ohio. Reverend Zehnder will be in attendance at the meeting_ to present the information he has gathered. The staff gives provisional favorable recommendation pending receipt of the information. historicpreservation c ission of south bend and st. joseph county March 16, 1988 STAFF REPORT 16021 Cleveland Road Granger, IN 46530 County Local Landmark f; 1AII;l1rV4 ROOM 1123 COUNTY CITY BUILDING south bend, indiana 46601 (219) 284-9798 The owner also is seeking approval of a site plan for a parking lot. The lot will be for 11 cars and located in the rear yard. Access will be off Gumwood Road. The lot does comply with the 40 foot building setback. At the April 18, 1988 meeting, there was a vote of 4-0 in favor of approval. This needs to be confirmed. A new sign is being proposed instead of the current sign that was discussed at the April meeting. This sign will be 12 feet high and 6 feet across. It consists of 2 6"x6" vertical posts with a cross beam supported by two brackets. The corner brackets will be similar to those of the house. The cross beam supports a 2 part sign: the upper portion being 6'x4', the lower being 3'x4'. The signs will be connected to the supports and each other by chains. The design will be as follows: shape -rectangular panels with curved top and bottom; color -all white except for lettering and green line which visually connects the two parts of the sign; letters -plain, block type. The sign will be located 14 feet from the southeast corner of the house, 25 feet from the road and 12 feet east of the existing sidewalk. STANDARDS B. Treatment A treatment change of any surface whether on the landmark or its environment may require a Certificate of Appropriateness if it significantly alters the appearance of the landmark . . . and should [be] reviewed] for character and style consistency with the original. 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. I:1*07yIYI2UM11102 The site plan was approved by the Area Plan Commission in December 1987. Since the parking lot is located in the rear yard and complies with the 41 building setback, Staff recommends approval of the plan. The design of the new sign is appropriate and attempts to use details and design concepts of the Italianate style. The sign uses the directory concept for the multiple businesses. The sign does comply with the county setback requirements and size limitations. Therefore the staff gives a favorable recommendation. b)p 0 Appendix A HPC Correspondence March 17, 1988 a.
