Lang felt that chimneys would be within their jurisdiction if a permit is pulled. Mr. Schumann indicated that even windows are within their jurisdiction if an owner changes the style or headers on existing windows as that does require permits. Mrs. Lord felt that a commissioner should speak with the owners of the chimney about the existing whole and the work done on the chimney. Mr. Lang indicated that he would follow up with the building department to see if in fact permits are required for work on chimneys. COMMUNICATIONS: V. COMIVIITTEE REPORTS: Mrs. Lord reported that she and Mrs. Thogmartin met to brainstorm what facts each of them knew about the Stearns home and as there is a change for the home in the near future they did not finish completing the application. She suggested that a letter from Planning Director Wenger suggests that the Stearns home is the oldest home in North Olmsted, but that is not true the Stearns original cabin would have been the oldest home. She would like to get some update on what Landmarks would like to do if anything. To get a city owned property registered with the National Registry it would first re.quire going through City Government then Ohio Historical Society then be submitted for the National Registry. She questioned if Landmarks felt that the registry needed to be completed on an emergency bases or through the normal cycle. She would continue to try to gather historical information on the Stearns home and Mr. Schock would speak with Mr. Steve McQuillin regarding raising funds to move the home. The commission may look to plaque the home and Mr. Schumann would speak with former Mayor Musial as he is the seller's attorney. Mrs. Lord would try to find Stearns family ancestors who may still be in the area. The clerk was asked to go back through minutes to get the name of the family member who sent the commission a letter tliree years ago. Mr. Schumann suggested asking the local papers to do an article asking for a white night to help rescue the home or even possibly a Stearns family member. The commission will wait until winter to do the City tour. Mr. Lang indicated that Bob Lamb picked up the door from his home to be delivered to the Historical Society. They believe that the door could be sold at a good price. The remaining items are still in Mr. Lang's garage VI.
