Named gap — settler current, November 2026
Whether Lakeville has a preservation ordinance — a year, a commission, a set of powers — is a question only the town's own code can answer, and the code was not reached; the item is banked as a named gap rather than negatived from the district lists. What can be stated is the frame: the county's preservation powers run through the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County, a joint body whose ordinance basis is South Bend's and the county's, and nothing reached extends that body's local-district jurisdiction into the town or names a Lakeville commission of its own. The settling source is named and current: the Lakeville town code and ordinance book, read for a preservation ordinance, its year and its commission. The banked heritage article's clause — no local preservation ordinance was reached — stands exactly as strong as it was, and this gap names the book that would settle it.
