CATHERINE HOSTETLER: I think our hands are pretty much tied by the standards. Other than out right refusing and denying the application, all we can do is to table it and have the East Wayne Street Liaison Committee meet and decide whether they want to amend their standards to allow these two types of pear trees to be planted in the tree lawn; and go from there. WILLIAM LAMIE: I understand that, and I explained that to the Liddells. The reason I am continuing to want to discuss this, and I can do this with the Liaison Committee if need be, is that I have -gotten a listfromthe city -forester.

I know that John expressed an interest in keeping the example that we have of the cedar shake, because he was so impressed by it. He thought that they could really recommend it to other homeowners in the future that wanted to use vinyl cedar shake. The cedar shake that is on the garage is gorgeous. I know that Catherine can attest to this, because she can see it from her house. The addition also has the same type of cedar shake on it, and it also looks gorgeous. There is no way that you can tell that it is not cedar shake. I have gone through enormous expense to maintain what I do have on my home. I have two years of water damage. I was dropped by my insurance company due to claims. I have spent $6,000.00 dollars to have the house painted. The house was primed and painted by a professional painter and within months the paint on the house peeled all the way down to the wood. I then went to small claims court about what happened to the paint on my house and I won the case. I did not receive any reimbursement; due to the fact, that the painter did not show up and we do not know
