Mr. Schumann believed the plan was very nice and he thought the applicant did a good job of <br />hiding the addition from the right of way. He was not concerned about the shingle style change <br />since they will be more durable. Mr. Parry said the current siding is 11-inch wavy cement board. <br />Mr. Schumann believed the addition should be allowed to have vinyl siding due to asbestos <br />concerns. Discussion regarding vinyl siding alternatives, Mr. Bennett said hardie board and <br />Boral are expensive and need more preparation. The Pella windows will have a profile similar to <br />the existing windows. Ms. Cardarelli believed vinyl windows could affect the character of the <br />home but wanted the window profiles to match. Mr. Bennett stated that they would install <br />aluminum wrap trim to match the home. Mr. Morse appreciated that the proposal will have a <br />minimal impact on the original structure. He is not a fan of vinyl siding, but since it would not be <br />visible, he was not concerned. <br />Mr. Schumann moved, seconded by Mr. Dubowski, to approve the Certificate of <br />Appropriateness for an addition in the rear yard for 18-11850; Robert & Laura Parry; <br />27150 Bntternut Ridge Road as submitted, motion passed 6-0. <br />COMMUNICATIONS <br />. <br />Distr'icf-Mantpdates; <br />Mr. Aspery reviewed the different options for the historic district eligibility requirements <br />provided by Ms. Lieber: leave the wording as is (50% of structures would be at least 50 years <br />old), increase the age requirement (50% of structures would be at least 70 years old), replace age <br />requirement with qualitative criteria, or combine the current age restriction with qualitative <br />criteria. Ms. Cardarelli asked if the criteria would apply to landmarking a single structure also, <br />Mr. Aspery said it would not. Mr. Schumann pointed out that having the age limit of 50 years, <br />would allow a majority of the North Olmsted homes to qualify, so he thought the age <br />requirement should be increased. Ms. Schuler thought the age requirement should be removed. <br />Mr. Schumann wanted to wait until the next meeting to approve the changes to wait for other <br />member comments. <br />Ce?iteii?ia?l.;I?arn? Pra??ram . <br />Mr. Aspery asked that the commissioners send in their research by the September 17Ih meeting. <br />Mr. Morse was concerned about the time he will be able to devote to the research before then but <br />will review the information he has. Mr. Dubowski will review his information also. <br />Historv;'Fund: Grant <br />Mr. Aspery stated that the applications for the Ohio History Connection History Fund Grant are <br />due September Sth.

Next fall, staff <br />may apply for funds to have the bus tour again. Ms. Egan-Reeves asked about the funding levels, <br />Mr. Aspery thought they would not be more than $50,000.
