Carri,
Thanks for submitting the application and supporting materials. I took a moment this morning to
preliminarily review your project submission, and have the following questions and responses
regarding your project:
1. Front Entrance Gable – Requires Historic Preservation Commission Review – Thank you for
the renderings!
a. The Commission will ask about materials for the brackets, soffit, and fascia, and roof.
Furnishing these to staff this week will ensure that it is part of the staff report that the
Commissioners will receive.
2. Brick stain. – Requires Historic Preservation Commission Review – The Commission does not
usually support / advocate for painting masonry surfaces. You are proposing a stain, which is
more preferable to paint.
a. Color Swatch -- although the Commission doesn’t review color selection, a swatch of
the proposed final color of the house could help your submission.
b. Similar projects -- examples of this product in use could also help.
3. Storm Windows – Staff can administratively approve this project as submitted.
4. Garage Door – Staff should be able to administratively review this project pending more
information regarding door selection.
a. Product spec sheet?
5. Wood Shutters – Staff can administratively approve this project as submitted.
6. Door Replacement – Staff should be able to administratively approve this project pending
more information regarding door selection.
a. Product spec sheet?
For all of these project components, photos of the existing project area would be beneficial and help
ensure approval.
The $20 payment can be made over the phone by contacting Business License Administrator
@Michelle Adams at 574-235-5912. Michelle, the application is saved in the COA folder as “1401
East Wayne Street_COA 2023-XXXX (APP).pdf”.
Once payment is received, Staff will administratively approve the portions of the project indicated
above, and the portions of your project requiring Commission review will be added to the next
available HPC meeting agenda (December 18th, 2023). I’ve included two of my preservation-team
colleagues on this e-mail to ensure this project is handled appropriately during my pending
departure from the city.
Best,
