She stated that there would also be a house tour on May 18th. Annual Report Mr. Smith asked Mr. Stivers if he could work on putting together an annual report. He would have the help of the Commission members as well as the help of Ms. Schlereth. Mr. Smith suggested that the Commission use the report of the Cleveland Commission as a possible example of what this Commission might do. Ms. Schlereth stated that she would send Mr. Stivers a copy of Cleveland's report. Southhold and Community Development Mr. -Smith next read a letter from Ruth Price, Executive Vice -President of Southhold, dated February 10, 1975, outlining Southholds proposal to the city for consideration in receiving Community Development funds. Mr. Smith stated that he would like the Commission to vote a resolution of support for Southhold's project and inform Mr. Hojnacki's office of the Commission's action. Mr. Rothermel so moved. Ms. Sporleder seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Harter Heights and Neighbors Association Mr. Smith next turned the Commission's attention to the request from the Harter Heights and Neighbors Association to give an -opinion on the proposed change in the definitions of the zoning ordinance. Since the Executive Director of the Area Plan Commission was present, Mr. Smith asked Mr. Johnson to explain the situation. Mr. Johnson stated that two petitions had been filed by members of the Common Council to amend the honing ordinance to redefine certain terms aimed at a clearer understanding of what an A Residential zone would ..- permit. Since the Commission had not had an opportunity to study both petitions, nor to become acquainted with all that was involved in the proposed changes, Mr. Johnson recommended that the Commission take no action on either petition at this time. The Commission concurred with this suggestion and directed the Executive Secretary to respond to the letter from Ms. Langford accordingly. Press Releases Pds. Davisson, as the new chairperson of the Public Relations Committee, made a motion that Commission members when speaking to the press or other news media, speak only for themselves unless authorized by the Commission. Ms. Sporleder seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. 10. Hearing of Visitors
