GERALD UJDAK: The addition that they are talking about is approximately nine hundred square feet. It would involve a great deal of alterations, movement of the septic system, etc. The porch also needs rebuilding. It is a charming house from the road; but, when one gets closer to it one discovers that is has suffered from a lack of TLC for many years and has serious problems. I don't think that these homeowners have a handle on how much money it is going to take to do this work. CATHERINE HOSTETLER: The recommendation of the staff was basically to stabilize the existing residence. They need to take care of those issues first before they start to consider putting on additions to the house. The second issue that the executive committee addressed was the preservation plan. John Oxian and I are going to work together to get that organized, along with John Livingston, so that we can present it back to the Historic Preservation Commission in March. E. STAFF REPORTS 1. C of A approvals; Correspondence 2. Grant status: Brochure approved 3. Legal Report: Chapin Park language -- (refer to item 1 under Committee Reports) CATHERINE HOSTETLER: We have approved at least six C of A's for in-kind replacements since our last meeting. We have one open issue and that is 115 E. South Street. This is the house that is in Taylor's field that had a fire. The structure is very difficult to go into to get an evaluation. I have a picture of it that Wayne took. Joann Sporleder and Wayne Doolittle were supposed to have gone out to get an assessment of the house. We have not received their reports back yet. The grants have all been approved for the brochure and the money has been encumbered for our part to get the districts grant done. We have the money set aside for the final printing of the surveys and the excess monies. I am working with Suzanne Stanis to get a new memorandum of agreement drawn up to reflect the additional $6,700.00 dollars that we are going to spend to do the resurvey. Julie Schutte and I took Virginia O'Hair out to lunch on Thursday at Tippecanoe Place and gave her a certificate of appreciation for all of the work she has done and for the time she has served on the Historic Preservation Commission. She was also happy tc be invited to sit on the Southhold Awards Committee and stated that she would be very happy to continue to serve on that committee. John Oxian asked that a motion be made that a C of A list of all staff approved properties be attached to the minutes every month. MARTHA CHOITZ: I so move. MARY JANE CHASE: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously.
