MISCELLANEOUS
A letter was received. from Mr. John Lobaito, Director,
Building and Zoning, about two demolition permits from
Prime Commerical . They are seeking demolition for the houses
at 1103 and 1119 South Rt . 31 . Larry Huck, acting chairman
sent a letter to Mr. Lobaito giving permission to Prime
Commercial Corporation to issue the permits . Carol. Jean
and Donnabe.l.le viewed the homes and since the homes were
of the post war construction they do not have any historical
value to the city.
Carol Jean would write a letter to Pam Althoff asking about
getting a new member to replace one of our student members .
Nancy Fike will ask at the school to see if a student
would be interested in being on the commission . We would also
like to have an architect on the commission. Tom Bolger will
ask Mr. Bill Ewald if he would be interested . Marya made a
motion for Carol Jean to write the letter to Pam Althoff.
2nd by Marva.
Our next project is to get a preservation ordiance on the city books
to help protect our. Landmark buildings . This will be our main goal
for the coming year. We were concerned about the building on the
corner of Riverside Dr. and. Rt . 120 . This building burnt last month
and will now be torn down. This building had much history and many
stories and we are sad to see it torn down.
A motion by Carol Jean to elect new officers at the next meeting .
All agreed , but the new chairman must be appoved by the Mayor.
Ideas were bought up about having a contest for Preservation
week next year. More discussion at later meetings .
Meeting was ajourned at 8 : 45 pm.
