John Oxian also stated that there were three unique things about this house that he presented the last time. They are as follows: 1. The time period of the house. 2. It is the only brick house in that neighborhood of that style. 3. The stones that were used to construct the front porch. There is no other house in that area except the one kitty comer down the street; which is a duplex and has been aluminum sided. Lynn Patrick suggested that both Mr. Livingston and John Oxian should go to code enforcement together and talk with Catherine Brucker. I think that there is something about that house and about John's life -long association with properties all over town. This house is calling out to John, and I respect his extensive experience and judgment and don't feel that I could second guess that. If the owner is amenable to it; then land marking the house is not going to hurt it; it might even help it. I think we should move on from here. If this is important to our past president; then it is important to me too. V. NEW BUSINESS VI. HEARING OF VISITORS Don Sporleder was happy to report that they were able to save the Erskine Golf Course.
