John Peddycord: Yes, we are in the process, assuming that HLFI does submit a written request. I've been assured by the officials that we've been working with, and they're out of Toronto, Ontario, they will seriously evaluate any such a proposal and all the pros and cons and it will take us some time to do that even if he submitted it tomorrow. I assume that Mr. Zeiger has to go through the proper channels in his organization, too, to get that request, but we are open to that, or South Bend Heritage Foundation, or anybody else, other non -profits, that might have an interest in it, or private parties as far as that goes. Just that, and we've encouraged, I will say we've encouraged the officials to come down and look at the property, and they have, well at least one. I think it's somewhat, even though its on the corner of the property, I think historically its deemed a part of the cemetery and obviously it was intended to be a part of the cemetery. That's my personal bent. I think maybe there would be . some nominal incidental value to the property owner to have it maintained, or if somebody has the money with which to do it. They see no reason to do that and have no purpose for the building... They have much more land vacant in the Highland Cemetery across the street and that's where " they've moved their administrative offices to years ago. I think they've said they haven't used it for eight or nine years, if I remember right. Shawn Peterson: So, you're still exploring those options? John Peddycord: We'll still explore those, but we want to go on parallel tracks, if you don't mind my use of that term. Shawn Peterson: Have you explored moving the premises? I know that was mentioned by the appraisers. John Peddycord: Other than what Mr. Huddleston has talked about, Todd did inform me, and again I'm not trying to put him on the spot, but he asked me to make sure the appraisers saw the basement and I understood why he did that because having done a lot of real estate litigation, he wanted me to make sure they knew the basement was dry. There are no water problems in that basement, so he mentioned to me that because of the type of structure that it might be difficult with the type of basement it has to move the residence. Now, I don't know if he's bothered, I doubt if you've interviewed any or obtained any estimates from any movers, or to even determine whether it can be moved. I don't know. Shawn Peterson: Have you officially put it on the market? John Peddycord: No, we have not. Shawn Peterson: At this time I will, first of all, it was mentioned to the standards applicable here and let me read it for you, the standards, and then we'll open it to testimony from the public on this. And for the record, Todd Zeiger has agreed to abstain from this since he has been in conversation regarding purchasing, so to avoid any conflicts, he will abstain from the vote and immediately preceding discussions or deliberations although he could have the opportunity to ask questions as a Commissioner and speak during the public portion of it. The standards applicable to this landmark are the standard, of what is called the "B Standard" as we refer to them, and whether the A Standards or the B Standards are applicable is actually, is not so much of consequence as they are the same and I will read them. "Historic landmarks shall not be demolished. When a landmark poses a threat to the public safety and demolition is the only alternative, documentation by way of photographs; measured drawings, or other descriptive measures should be made of both the exterior and the interior of the Landmark. The person or the agency responsible for the demolition of the Landmark will be responsible for this documentation." 23 January 2006 HPC Meeting Minutes [Corrected Version] 11
