• of the building. There was more discussion over the possibility of the property reverting back to Engmans heirs. C. National Register Nominations Mr. Oxian asked how soon the nominations for the East Bank Multiple Property listing and Leeper Park had to be in. Mr. Duvall stated that there were no drop dead dates .on the nominations. He further stated that the action taken at the meeting would be transmitted to.the State Historic Preservation Office and that they would act on them when they receive them. Mr. Duvall went on to mention that the grant has been completed and closed out and that the State Office already has a copy of the nominations. Mr. Oxian stated that the Commission was giving a contract to do a plan on Leeper Park, but, he wandered how much of this nomination would affect that plan. Mr. Duvall responded that there was some urgency for the Leeper Park listing with regard to the planning document for the park. He stated that in order to get the grant for a plan the property must be listed on or soon to be listed on the National Register. Mr. Talley moved to suspend the reading of the Leeper Park Nomination and for the passage of the nomination. Mrs. Sporleder seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Mr. Oxian opened the floor up for discussion on the East Bank Multiple Property Listings and suggested that it be tabled to allow more time for the members to read it. Mr. Duvall noted that the Hoban family, who are the owners of the house at the corner of St. Louis' and Colfax, was present. He mentioned to the Hobans that the Certificates of Appropriateness applications that they have witnessed pertain only to local historic districts and not national register districts. Mr. Talley further noted that in national register districts there are no local • rules or regulations on the structures. Mr. Oxian asked if another one of the visitors, Mr. Costello, had a question. Mr. Costello stated that he wanted some more information on what it means to be in'a national register, more specifically, how would it affect his property at 120 N. Notre Dame Avenue -and the rest of the neighborhood. Mr. Oxian responded that. he could get all the information he wants from Mr. Duvall. Mr. Duvall stated that he had received two letters of objection, one letter was from the Sisters of the Holy Cross regarding the house at 1104 North Notre Dame Avenue which they maintain.as a convent. Since the house in question is an individually listed property the .Siste'rsobjection is sufficient to take the property of} the nomination along with their religious. affiliation. The second letter was from Jack Roberts of Madison Hospital, however, upon further correspondence with him he has withdrawn his objection. Mr. Hoban asked to have more information on .the nomination, specifically his individual listing. He further stated that some of the information on his house that the Commission has is inaccurate and he wants to make sure that the nomination is accurate. Mr. Oxian suggested that Mr. Hoban get together with Mr. Duvall to clear up any misinformation. Mr. Talley asked if the family had any photographs of their grandfather that the Commission could get copies of. Mr. Talley moved to table the East Bank Multiple Property Listing until Novembers meeting to allow more time for reading. Mrs. Sporleder seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously: Mr. Duvall explained how the notification of owners worked when a national register nomination was approved. Mrs. Choitz asked if the property owners would receive anything, such as the houses history or a plaque, when they are placed on the national register. Mr. Duvall said. that the owners are only sent a letter of • notification and that if the owner wished to have a plaque made they may, however, the owner would have to pay -for it. IV.
