w. <br />? closely as possible. Mrs. Lord questioned how old the house was. Mr. Riggs indicated that it <br />was built in 1938. Mrs. Lord questioned if the board had any further questions or problems. <br />G. Corell motioned to grant Eric Riggs of 26533 Butternut Ridge Rd. his request certificate <br />of appropriateness for a new roof in the historic district. To tear off and replace his roof with <br />as close to the exact replacement as the existing roof using same colors and type shingles. <br />The motion was seconded by A. Smeraldi and unanimously approved. Certificate Granted <br />5/fl4/O1. <br />IV. COlVIM[JNICATIONS: <br />A) I)on Copeland, Director of Human Resources for the City of North Olmsted, was present. <br />He indicated that he would like to do something to honor the elder people of the <br />community and get an oral history of the City from these people who have been in this <br />City for their lifetime. Then they could put what the people have said and talked about to <br />print. This would allow them to do a historical review of the City and a short biography <br />of the person who gave us the historical view of the City. The thing that would go with it <br />would be a sketch, not a portrait, of the person who gave the history. That would be <br />compiled and hopefully developed into some kind of book form. He is thinking of using <br />site students and volunteers to give the oral histories. He then indicated that he would not <br />need money from the board or if he does need money for this project he will find a way <br />to come up with it. He wants three things from the Landmarks Commission: Their <br />sponsorship, help in deciding who to interview from the different age categories, and <br />their different ideas as to help collaborate this project together. He would like to see this <br />project get started this summer. This would all be done in and through the Human <br />Resources Department and hopefully when they have a finished product that people will <br />want to buy. Profits would go to the Human Resources Department Community Fund. <br />B) Joseph Lang, a former Landmarks member, was present. He questioned if a few <br />addresses on Butternut Ridge Rd. had been before the board to do work on their homes. <br />Mrs. Lord indicated that she wanted it to reflect in the minutes that there is a roof going <br />on that did not come through the board on the south side of Butternut and about three <br />doors east of Fitch Rd. <br />C) Mrs. Lord indicated that the board is now part of the Ohio Restoration Society and two <br />other Landinarks related societies. Their unencumbered budget is $1,685. <br />D) Mrs. Lord cominented that the Mayor had given each board a task to complete. He had <br />asked, what does North Olmsted needs to do to become a premier City. It could be 5 <br />years down the road or it could be 75 years down the road. If every board member could <br />jot a few ideas down and send it to Mrs. Lord, she would put it all together and present it <br />to the Mayor. <br />V. COMIVII'TTEE REPORTS: <br />1V1i-s. VanAuken indicated that the Landmarks Commission had received a letter from the <br />Mayor. He wants the Landmarks input on what style architecture should be used for the <br />new library. Mrs. VanAuken was asked to do some research on this for the commission. <br />She called the county library system and asked them if they know of any colonial style <br />libraries that are around so that we could get pictures of it. In Chagrin Falls there was a <br />building that when it was built it was meant to be a library and it functioned as a library <br />2
