JOSEPH COUNTY Phone: 574/235.9371 Fax: 574/235.9021 Email: hpcsbsjc@southbendin.gov STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: April 15, 2026 Application Number: 2026-0406 Property L ocation: 1327 East Wayne Street North Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Tudor Revival / 1926 / H. R. Stapp Property Owner: Scott and Meredith Hurley Landmark or District Designation: East Wayne Street LHD, Ordinance #7797-87 Rating: Outstanding DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/SITE: Two story Tudor revival style house with flared gables. The roof is slate and the siding is stucco. There are two single story porch sections, one west side and one on the front facade. Windows are 2 stationary over 6 casement and there are louvered openings in the attic sections of the gables. There is a 2 car frame gable garage to the rear of the house. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The applicant has requested approval to: 1) Construct a new entryway on the front (south) facade. 2) Construct a new additions on the east facade of the house. 3) Construct a new addition to the north facade of the house. 4) Construct new three-car carriage house is to reside on the adjacent lot. Existing curb cuts will remain and will tie into the new construction. Major landscaping will remain and be enhanced as needed to comply with local zoning. 5) Replace existing steel casement windows with aluminum casement windows 6) Replaces screens in front three season room with aluminum casement windows STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: Additions: Pages 36-37 SITE VISIT REPORT: N/A STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The existing steel casement windows are rotted out. Replacement with alumi- num casement windows that match in style and lite pattern is appropriate. The replacement of screens in the front 3 season room with operable casement windows is a minor change that increases use of the room with no negative impact to the integrity of the home. The entry additions on the front (south) and east facades match the Tudor revival style without impacting the integrity of the home. The rear addition Option 1 has a massing that overpowers the original house. Standards and guidelines state that “Design the mass of the new addition to remain compatible but not overpower the primary structure.” and “Design any addition so that it is subordinate to the original building. Generally, additions should not exceed half of the original building’s total floor area or building footprint..” The large colonnade on this ad- dition that wraps all three sides and multiple individual dormers detracts from the modest Tudor features of the HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OF SOUTH BEND AND ST. JOSEPH COUNTY Phone: 574/235.9371 Fax: 574/235.9021 Email: hpcsbsjc@southbendin.gov however the colonnade is still an overpowering feature. Option 3 addition is the best massing that compliments and maintains focus on the original structure. A simpler roof structure similar to the front of the proposed carriage house could be suitable. The Carriage house design is fitting with the style of the house and neighborhood. Overall, the proposed additions fit in style and character of the neighborhood without altering the feel of the street or harming the integrity of the original structure. Based on the information provided prior to this public hearing, Staff makes a FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION.
