Schumann questioned the Frank house. Mr. Lang believed that the only thing left to plaque the Franlc house was to date the house through archives. V. MINOR CHANGES: Mr. Lang handed out a copy of the minor change letter received from the Building Department pertaining to the property at the corner Butternut and Kennedy Ridge Road which is a 1950's brick ranch home. The owners would like to replace the shingles on the roof and the color of the new shingles will be the same, but the style of shingle is slightly different from the existing shingles on the home. Although the style of shingle chosen was not available when the home was built it will improve the esthetics of the home. Mr. Rerko and Mr. Schumann reviewed that although the shingle is not of the era of the home it was developed to resemble a shingle from that era and it is a very good product and will last up to 40 years.

COMMIT'TEE REPOItTS: Mr. Rerko reviewed that he and Mrs. Lord started going through documents to understand the order the documents are in and to decide what age of homes they want to start and stop with. They found out that they can down load some data on all the homes within the historic district such as age, lot size and number of rooms through the Commissions Office. He questioned what age of homes would the board like the committee to start with. Mr. Lang indicated the corrunittee should start with any home older than 50 years old and go from their there. The board discussed donating local duplicated maps which they posses to the schools. Mr. Schumann proposed that the commission convert the current slides Mrs. VanAuken's has into a computer generated slideshow presentation which could include commentary. The commission could then burn copies of the presentation for each school to have and there would be no need for a speaker to present the history as it would have everything on the CD. He suggested requesting a site student who has strong computer skills the next quarter. VIII.
