47 and to determine which portions of the cemeteries should be landmarked. The owners <br />48 take pride in the historic nature of the cemeteries and are only too happy to comply with <br />49 the Commissions request to landmark the aforementioned structures and site. They <br />50 would also like to work with the Commission in eminent repairs to the Riverview <br />51 Gatehouse. <br />52 <br />53 CATHERINE HOSTETLER: Thank your Mr. Masters. I will now close the <br />54 public portion of this discussion and open it to the Commissioners. <br />55 <br />56 JOANN SPORLEDER: I do not seem to have any report for this property. <br />57 <br />58 RHONDA SAUNDERS: The Commission received a staff report several months ago <br />59 concerning this proposed landmark, however, that report will not reflect the individual <br />60 properties. The staff was unaware of these alterations to the proposal. A new report will <br />61 be written and submitted to the Commission for their personal records at a latter date. <br />62 <br />63 JOANN SPORLEDER: Why is the Council Oak site not included among the chosen <br />64 sites. <br />65 <br />66 JOHN OXIAN: We discussed this issue at Julys meeting at which time it was <br />67 <br />68 <br />69 <br />70 <br />71 <br />72 <br />73 <br />74 <br />75 <br />76 <br />77 <br />78 <br />79 <br />80 <br />81 <br />82 <br />83 <br />84 <br />decided that there was no vacant land around the trunk, making it very difficult to section <br />of this area for designation. <br />JAMES MASTERS: The remnant of the tree trunk is still there as is a plaque <br />designating the trunk, however, there are tombstones leaning up against the trunk making <br />it impossible to cord off a section for landmark status. <br />JOANN SPORLEDER: Can we simply mention the site in the landmarking of these <br />structures with out landmarking it? <br />CHERYL GREENE: There really is nothing to landmark and only items to be <br />landmarked can be placed into the ordinance and staff report. <br />JOHN OXIAN: The trunk could be mentioned in a resolution. <br />JAMES MASTERS: I would invite the Commission members to go out and visit <br />the site to see how close the tombstones are to the tree trunk. <br />85 MARTHA CHOITZ: I have been to several historic areas where they place <br />86 plastic or glass over the fallen tree etc., and place a plaque to commemorate it and its <br />87 historical importance. I move to send proposed local landmarks at Highland and <br />88 . Riverview Cemeteries, as submitted by James Masters, to the Common Council with a <br />89 favorable recommendation. <br />90 <br />91 GERALD UJDAK: I second the motion. <br />92 <br />2 <br />
