VII. <br />VIII. <br />IX. <br />Mr. Oxian asked Mr. Oxian to send copies of his <br />report from the Cornelius O'Brien Conference to <br />other Commission members, as many might find that <br />information of interest. <br />On a related note, Mrs. Sporleder asked if the <br />matter of the cemetery along Cleveland Road would <br />be coming up soon. She expressed fear that the <br />trees and enclosing wall would be destroyed by the <br />road widening project. <br />Mrs. Choitz stated that the township trustee had <br />informed her that the road widening could not <br />disturb the cemetery. Mrs. Dixon stated that it is <br />a felony to dig up graves. Mrs. Choitz felt that <br />such things are not so important to those planning <br />the project. <br />Mrs. Sporleder requested that the staff take a look <br />at the plans for the project to see how it will <br />affect the cemetery. <br />Mrs. Sporleder and Mrs. Choitz discussed the fact <br />that some of the trees in the cemetery had already <br />been removed. Mrs. Sporleder reported that the <br />township trustee had given permission to trim the <br />tree, but the "trimming" resulted in its removal. <br />The tree had been hanging over the right-of-way, <br />rather than being within the cemetery itself, so <br />the trustee had given permission for its trimming. <br />Mrs. Sporleder stated that the same thing is <br />happening along Juniper and Douglas Roads, along <br />Notre Dame property. She did not feel that there <br />was any hope of influencing anyone on that project, <br />whereas some influence may be possible on the <br />Cleveland Road project. <br />Mr. Oxian stated that the only way the Commission <br />can have a direct say in the effects on the <br />cemeteries is to make them landmarks. <br />Hearing of Visitors <br />No Report <br />Announcements and Miscellaneous Matters <br />No Report <br />Adjournment <br />Mr. Herendeen moved to adiourn. The meeting adjourned <br />at 8:52. <br />Page 10 <br />
