September 17, 1979 Page 3 Budget and Finance Mr. Oxian reported that he had had a talk with Mr. Peter Mullen, at which time he brought up some proposals, none of which are, at this time, definite. Mr. Oxian will keep the Commission informed on this matter. Historic Districts and Standards The Certificate of Appropriateness for 107 North Shore Drive was brought up. Mr. Stamper wanted to bring to the Commission's at - tion that the owner, a Mrs. Looney, wanted a Certificate prior to making some landscaping changes. This Certificate was approved by the Landmarks Committee. Historic Landmarks and Standards Mr. Oxian wished to bring up 66251 Cedar Road for landmark desig- nation. This address includes a summer house, a barn and a log house, as well as the residence and other outbuildings. Mr. Oxian moved that this group of buildings be designated an historic land- mark by ordinance of the County Council. Mr. Gerald Kline seconded this motion. The owners have signed the consent form. Due to lack of a quorum, it was not, at this time, put to a vote. Another structure which the Landmarks Committee wished to bring up for landmark designation was 26191 Quinn Road. The owner of the house had wanted landmark designation, but after her husband died, she moved out of the house and never sent the letter of approval. The house is now vacant. Mr. Oxian said the next person who might buy this house may need some help in restoring it. No letter of .approval has been received, but Mr. Oxian made a motion that this house be declared a landmark. Mr. Oxian believes the house still belongs to Mrs. Paul Mangus. Mr. Gerald Kline seconded this motion, yet, due to lack of quorum, it was not put to a vote. Mr. Oxian then discussed some of the matters brought up in the Land- marks Committee meeting of August 29th; The U.S. 20 Bypass was dis- cussed in that a public hearing had been set for September 12, with John Stamper attending and making a presentation with the map and a letter. Discussion centered on the house and church at 916 Lindsey for which the Bureau of Sub -standard Housing hasrecommended demoli- tion. Calls have been received on this matter and Mr. Oxian believes the church has been sold. Regarding the matter of Women in Construc- tion, Mr. Oxian sent a letter to the park department regarding the Powell House; a Ms. Nola Jeffreies is searching for materials for the Powell House. The church may be an appropriate source. Mr. Ger- ald Kline is working on the Zion Church as a possible landmark. An amendment to the Ordinance was likewise discussed in which it could be proposed to establish Conservation Districts as long as such a district is not used in an area which should be an historic district. Mr. Ted Wasielewski then asked for a vote to approve the Minutes, since a quorum was now present. All voted in favor of approving • the Minutes for August. Likewise, all voted in favor of approving
