Darryl Gunyan, the property owner and applicant for case 2024 COA 356 at 5814 Beechwood Avenue, told the commission he met with IHPC staff and proposed solutions including a brick wainscoting made from bricks salvaged from the garage or a painted wood-panel base for a modified sun porch. \"I assure you that if this is the answer, I can make it look like it grew there,\" Gunyan said, describing his effort to match brick from the existing garage.

Gunyan said he has applied to demolish the existing garage and is docketed for an August meeting on that item; he also said he could not harvest brick until the garage is removed but has researched matching brick if needed. He told the commission he would replace the first-floor front windows with \"new aluminum cladded wood simulated divided like casements\" and would replace rough-sawn fiber-cement siding on visible facades, though he asked that a rear dormer with limited visibility be allowed to remain as-is to save time and cost.

Shelby Long, the commission's senior architectural reviewer, said staff and the owner had discussed three focus areas: the addition (former greenhouse), the front first-floor windows, and the rough-sawn siding. Staff recommended either the brick water-table approach (using salvage bricks as veneer) or a wood panel base and noted the owner agreed to replace the vinyl double-hung windows with the new simulated-divided casements. Long also said staff believed maintaining rough-sawn siding anywhere on the house \"is really inappropriate,\" but deferred to the commission on whether the rear dormer could remain unchanged because it has limited visibility.

Meg Bush presented staff's formal recommendation to \"approve a certificate of authorization\" for the work completed without approval and for the proposed repairs, subject to stipulations and two notes in the staff report. The recommendation included a mandatory completion date: all required correction work to the addition, the front windows and the siding must be completed no later than Sept. 15, 2025. \"Failure to comply will result in the enforcement case submitted to the city prosecutor,\" Bush said.

The owner explained a construction approach whereby harvested full-size bricks would be cut and used as a veneer over a poured footer; he said the resulting veneer would sit slightly proud of the existing wall but predicted a reveal of less than an inch. The commission voted to approve staff's recommendation by voice vote.

The approval authorizes the corrective plan under a certificate of authorization; the owner must notify IHPC staff for an inspection when the work is complete. If the work is not completed by Sept. 15, the staff report states the enforcement case will be submitted to the city prosecutor.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council of Indianapolis, IN - Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission - Jul 02, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved a certificate of authorization requiring an Irvington homeowner to correct unapproved alterations at 5814 Beechwood Avenue by Sept. 15, 2025, or face enforcement.

Josh Smith, representing Rivera Group and the project at the hearing, described the house as \"roughly 2,500 square foot house, 500 square foot living space above the garage,\" and said the design uses smooth-texture Hardy siding and trim to fit the neighborhood. Smith told the commission the applicant had worked with staff on massing and layout and had met with the neighborhood group.

Emily Jarzin, principal architectural reviewer, said staff recommended approval. \"Staff is recommending approval of the project,\" Jarzin said, noting the design takes cues from previously approved historic-house plans and that the neighborhood group had no comments. The commission discussed proportions on the front facade; Commissioner David Baker suggested the front first-floor windows and door appeared \"a little squat\" and recommended taller windows or a transom. The applicant agreed to work with staff to adjust the front facade window heights.

Meg Bush presented staff's formal recommendation to approve a certificate of appropriateness \"per the submitted documentation and subject to the eight stipulations and one note in the staff's written report.\" The commission voted to approve the staff recommendation by voice vote.

The approval is subject to the conditions listed in the staff report; the applicant said he will confirm final window sizes with staff before permitting. The project team noted they had met with the neighborhood group and that no neighborhood objections were recorded in staff notes.","The Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission approved a certificate of appropriateness for a two-story single-family house with a detached carriage house at 1306 East Saint Clair Street, subject to staff stipulations and adjustments to front-window proportions.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6656679,"IHPC approves four expedited items, including pocket park and parking-lot variances",398,499000,897000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5122411-914671d4f49dd6b1431eb7debf6f277e&start=499&end=897","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5122411-914671d4f49dd6b1431eb7debf6f277e/thumbnail_499000.jpg","/articles/6656679/Indianapolis-City/Marion-County/Indiana/IHPC-approves-four-expedited-items-including-pocket-park-and-parking-lot-variances","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6656679-aa24b2c33934f405cc9e35bcd1f66488/orig.mp4?Expires=1770582396&Signature=Z45rjDJRRvXMFhzYnr5xYeHrTmf1w-wH98eDDw55oQ2Nfa-uyCUE6CDHMi5bK7kWioKFxCqp6sbo53uAxJ~CYi1dXmhOvduksQo2-zG0njcp-FHoYUkFogk42oifvnuGJ2q-5tcyZbmHY3aNlTdI3Pptc1gwq7NIk-VeVQN4HoID23V7jOv8xVSHvRXxMNN2eEhhlTOnc3HcyNa1deK0MYI0kqFCVbyx-U8RjNxAMAerMl08eWqka9UzS4pIv7ER~W1gJA7lCEVAW4QzqT2R7DZx53~-NygBSDiHez-Fn-GIcnt3xf6TOHBFITO3LHfheAk-H5B0vDifD68htaaFag__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission unanimously approved four expedited cases Thursday, covering a mix of routine corrections and small-scale projects across multiple historic districts.

Meg Bush, commission staff administrator, presented the four expedited items and asked the commission to vote on staff recommendations. \"2025 COA 135, Cumberland... the request is to retain a parking lot expansion paved without approval and for a variance of use to allow occasional automotive sales,\" Bush said, summarizing the first case. She also described a noncontributing-house rear-addition demolition and rebuild in Irvington (2025 COA 185), fencing installed without approval in Cumberland with variances to allow location and height (2025 COA 195), and a pocket park proposal at 1015 Broadway Street in Chatham Arch (2025 COA 196).

Commissioners approved the staff recommendations for the four cases by voice vote. No recorded roll-call tallies were provided in the meeting transcript; the chair called for \"all those in favor, please signify by saying aye,\" and the ayes carried.

Susan Williams, commission secretary, raised a public-safety concern about the pocket park at 1015 Broadway Street, noting the project's tucked-in location and asking that staff consult a public-safety reviewer about lighting and access. \"I think it needs to be looked at by a public safety person ... I don't see anything in here about lighting,\" Williams said. The commission did not continue the case; staff was asked to consider safety suggestions during construction.

The four cases approved were:
- 2025 COA 135 / 2025 VHP 003 — 11605 East Washington St.: retain a paved parking-lot expansion and permit occasional automotive sales in a C3 zoning district (approved as presented by staff).
- 2025 COA 185 — 156 South Downey Ave.: demolish a rear addition and construct a new rear addition on a noncontributing house (approved as presented by staff).
- 2025 COA 195 / 2025 VHP 006 — 120 S. Weyburn St.: retain fencing installed without approval and grant variances for sight-triangle encroachment, height across from a residential primary entry, and location in the right of way (approved as presented by staff).
- 2025 COA 196 — 1015 Broadway St. (Chatham Arch, Massachusetts Avenue): build a pocket park including fencing, seating, trellis, pergola, hardscaping and landscaping (approved as presented by staff; staff to review safety/lighting issues raised by a commissioner).

All approvals were taken as expedited items on the consent-like docket; applicants and members of the public did not raise extended remonstration. Where staff recommended variances or corrections, those recommendations were approved per the staff reports on file with IHPC.","The Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission approved four expedited cases at its July meeting: a parking-lot retention and occasional auto sales variance, a rear-addition demolition and rebuild, retention of unapproved fencing with development variances, and a proposed pocket park at 1015 Broadway Street.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6656684,"Owner says no development yet for Lockerbie Square parcel; temporary gravel parking lot permitted through 2026",271,145000,416000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5122411-914671d4f49dd6b1431eb7debf6f277e&start=145&end=416","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5122411-914671d4f49dd6b1431eb7debf6f277e/thumbnail_145000.jpg","/articles/6656684/Indianapolis-City/Marion-County/Indiana/Owner-says-no-development-yet-for-Lockerbie-Square-parcel-temporary-gravel-parking-lot-permitted-through-2026","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6656684-15e8733298a71ef1a2ad28373bb8faba/orig.mp4?Expires=1770582396&Signature=nWQgWPxC6~4j4P2yCtx43~w8MJzalNGJ5jx3gpVs0Zq~h5kSiupu9~vIK1Zjl0qAnSIUlx5Oa1hpqKBXYvBLBNiZid9F-6guGJICWu7UZUB1~yW0LceGO09gG7GMpBfmmQccFI9SjWfxzefaD8O6gTIuEhJPhKOvhpcHWH2Hm129mphuc9umLk4hUMUxZXzZacxKlw5kaiN8SCc6fGokrvVDagk9~AFvTPuq9TCL6-Ksg1vprhYB2~mqFnF~2naYk9vzA765IVC9hiv0EOCtVh~7SGT9BJC04o5x8zJFGtYM55eKtmmPOwfPqNz8HkPoQfUbsrYPKEoln3YOVaJdQw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission heard an update Thursday about a vacant parcel in Lockerbie Square where a temporary variance permits a gravel parking lot through the end of 2026.

Misha Rabinowitz, an attorney representing the property owner, told the commission the owner has not been able to advance a development on the lot at 420 Northeast Street. \"We don't have much of a case here. We'll make it brief,\" Rabinowitz said, and later added, \"The market conditions, as we reported last year, really aren't conducive to a development on that size of a parcel.\"

The parcel, immediately south of the Athenaeum South and East, has been used as a parking lot for some time. The commission last year approved a temporary variance allowing the gravel parking to remain through Dec. 31, 2026; Rabinowitz said the owner agreed to return to report progress and that there is currently nothing in the pipeline. She also said she had contacted the property management group, which told her the lot \"is well kept and maintained the way it's supposed to be.\"

No new application or formal action on the property was taken at the July meeting. Commission members did not raise additional conditions beyond receiving status reports as required under the previously granted variance.

The report to the commission constituted an update rather than a new request for relief. Any future application to extend the temporary use or propose a permanent development would require formal submission and review by staff and the commission.

For now, the temporary allowance for the gravel parking lot remains in effect through Dec. 31, 2026, per the earlier variance approval; no new timeline for development was provided.","At the July Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission meeting, the owner's attorney reported no new development on the vacant parcel at 420 Northeast Street and said the gravel parking lot remains maintained under a temporary variance that runs through Dec. 31, 2026.","actionData","errors"]
