JOANN SPORLEDER: 2002 - 0731 -2; The Van Buskirk Cemetery; I propose that the application be approved for the location of the marker as presented on the map, and with all other conditions being met as described. MARTHA CHOITZ: I second the motion GERALD UJDAK: All those in favor say aye. All those against say nay. Motion carries unanimously. GERALD UJDAK: 2002 -0801; 345 Sunnyside Avenue; replace windows, shutters, front door and garage door, repair siding, and re -model roof over stoop. KAREN HAMMOND -NASH: This application contains fourteen items; eight of which I have staff approved. The remaining six items before the commission for consideration are as follows: 1. Adding a curve to the little gable roof over the front stoop. 2. Replacement of windows. 3. Replacement of shutters. 4. Replacement of wood front door. 5.

However, based on the information submitted so far, staff recommends approval of all tie six remaining items on the application. Staff also recommends that, effective January 1, or when renovations and repairs are completed, this house is re -rated from a 5 or 8, to a 9, on the architectural scale of 0 to 13. ROGER SMITH: Karen did a fine job, but, I would like to add that I have some conclusions on what I think we will have as a final window. We would like to have a diamond front on all the windows so that it would presently reinforce that design element that you spoke of. Also the columns -I think I designed them to carefully match with the six -inch diameter composite wood ruled column with six -inch square block at the top and the bottom. If you would like to see the windows, I have a brochure of the company "Nasco" that makes the windows. There are two styles of windows. The one style is single pane casement windows and there is single pane for the upstairs. There was an Y
