Meeting at the Avon Theatre with Fritz Herget of Arsee Engineering, Brad Dennis of Ziolkowski and the crew from the Library. Theatre Interior is basically a concrete box and used for storage. Exterior Terra Cotta can be restored, upper level in better shape than lower level. Followed up with reports to DTSB and Mayor's Office. 29 June Attended meeting at Indiana Landmarks concerning the Fredrickson Candy Store that the First Presbyterian Church wants to disown and move, but doesn't want to pay for it. Also discussed was moving the landmark at 319 William Street. Todd thought that they could both be moved and set upon new foundations and utilities hooked up for between $40,000.00 and $50,000.00 each. Liz Maradik from S.B. Economic Development was also there along with David Hurley. Also attended a meeting with Councilman Oliver Davis about the spot zoning on Parry Street with Christa Nayder (Area Plan) and Scott Ford ( new Director for Comm. &Econ. Devel.). Suggested to Mr. Davis that length of residence not be used as a criteria for all the Council to allow spot zoning as it would cause future problems for the Council. Suggested that the rationale be that the Robert Henry Company already has zoning for light industrial which is right behind the proposed garage site. 2 July Worked on the Avon Theatre communications.
