They are doing a very excellent job. Our next meeting is January 14'h. Architectural Review Board - Mr. Marrelli stated, there was no meeting. There is no report. Board of Anpeals - Mr. Marrelli reported, Board of Appeals met last week and approved the temporary sign on 271 for commercial property for lease. Council President Buckholtz understands there was some activity with a business in the center of town violating the signage ordinance. Has that all been resolved? Mr. Marrelli replied, yes. The landlord stepped in and took care of it. Cemeterv - Mrs. Mills reported, the Historical Society went on October 12th to the Chagrin Valley Consortium in Chesterland. It was a very good meeting. What I learned there was we have been working a Beachwood group that is trying to start a Historical Society. They have an old cemetery in Beachwood, the Beachwood Cemetery, which is about 5 acres. At one time they had the same problem we have that we don't know exactly where some of the people are interred. They were able to find a company that has what is known as penetrating radar. What they did was they showed these pictures, like x-ray films. - Mayor Rinker asked, spectral photography? Mrs. Mills replied, yes. They showed where each grave was which was very good. We have in our cemetery on the southeast corner a big plot. We don't know who is in there, so I tlunk maybe somewhere down the line we need to consider that. They did the 5 acres _for $3,000. It's a very extensive study. How we figured out where some of our graves were, we used a dozer. They used a dozer at Beachwood and it was right on track as far as some of the graves that this penetrating radar did. Citizen's Advisorv Board - Mrs. Wolgamuth reported, the Citizen's Advisory met on September 23` at the Community Room. Mr. Marrelli attended the meeting. The discussion was primarily about the Community Room. We discussed the results of the survey and the amenities people listed on the survey that they would like to see.
