Dear Loretta,
David Duvall, Director
Filed ire C~~~t~'~ O~~~C~
LORE'fTAJ. DUDA
CRYCLER~~ CO. BEHD~ Ica.
Please find attached two amendments to the Municipal Code establishing new
Local Historic Preservation Districts.
The first amendment designates the North St. Joseph Street Historic District
adjacent to the previously established River Bend Historic District. This
designation is being initiated by the Near Northwest Neighborhood Inc. which
is presently a major property owner in the proposed district. Their
application for designation is attached.
The second amendment designates the Taylor's Field Historic District which was
recommended in the South Bend Summary Report of the Indiana Historic Sites and
Structures Inventory (1993) under the name of South St. Joseph Street Historic
District. This designation has been recommended by the Historic Districts
Committee of the Historic Preservation Commission. The new name has been
assumed to provide more descriptive historical context for this district and
to better distinguish between the two proposed districts. I have made
preliminary presentation of this designation to the Zoning & Annexation
Committee of the Common Council.
Neither of these ordinances has received Public Hearing or recommendation from
the Historic Preservation Commission at this time. However, in the interest of
speedy consideration of these proposals, we wish to initiate the ordinances
for referral to our commission. The commission will in the meantime be
developing the guidelines to be applied in the regulation of the districts.
Please call me or our director, David Duvall, if you have questions regarding
either proposal.
Yours truly,
o~.~
