February 20, 1978 Page 6 the "B" designation in the past, but an outstanding structure like Tippecanoe should have "A" standards applied to it. Mrs. Price asked if it were possible to hold a meeting with Southhold in order to work out the possibility of using "A" standards. Mr. Lahey replied that there were problems inherent in "A" landmark status and again could not see these being adopted. Mrs. Price then clarified the problem by saying the Commission has not yet organized itself to where it could handle Certificates of Appropriateness. She again said she would like to sit with Southhold to discuss this. There was further discussion on this.. Mr.Nimtz then said there was federal money involved,and he thought Southhold was under federal regulations right now. Ms. Sporleder then suggested that this whole thing be put off until Southhold has done the renovation and then come back for landmark status under whatever circumstances they wanted to discuss at that time. Mr. Lahey felt this would cause problems. If they are not successful in getting landmark status, the zoning they wish to aquire would be in jeopardy. Mrs. Price then said she would like to see this motion tabled again until the following meeting when the Commission could determine whether it could legally offer standards. Ms. Sporleder seconded the motion • to table this matter once more. Ms. Derbeck asked what effect tabling this matter would have on the time table of Tippecanoe's application for re -zoning and was told that it might kill the idea.

Mr. Wasielewski then said he was concerned that the Commission would get involved in determining whether or not commercial zoning was going to apply to Tippecanoe Place, which he preferred we not get involved in as it was not an issue which this Commision could make a determination on. The motion was put to a vote and Mr. Wasielewski asked for a roll call. Mr. Oxian voted not to table, Ms. Sporleder to table, Mr. Nimtz voted not to table, Mrs. Price voted yes, and Mr. Wasielewski voted to table. Mr. Eckerle abstained and said he was "completely torn on this issue," and that he needed more time to study the problem. Mr. Eckerle then suggested that a special meeting be held in regard to the immediacy of this problem. It was decided to have a special meeting • on March 13, and Mr. Eckerle so moved with Mr. Oxian seconding this mo- tion. It passed unanimously. Mr. Oxian then brought up the building at 322 West Washington, the Mark-
