Mr. Richner said the majority of the <br />information on the Knight family was obtained via the internet and Mr. Thomas said he obtained <br />his information at Frostville Museum. Mr. Neville said he would use all documents submitted to <br />compose a draft report. The clerk was asked to provide Mr. Neville with a copy of all documents <br />pertaining to the Porter Road home. <br />Mr. Morse reviewed documentation gathered on Charles Alden Seltzer and noted Charles Seltzer <br />accomplished so much it's hard to narrow the topics to research. Some of his accomplishments <br />consist of being an author, the Mayor of North Olmsted, creating the Municipal Bus Line and <br />taking on the electric and phone companies of the time so the residents of the city could have <br />better service. <br />Ms. Wenger said she was contacted by the schools regarding the middle school annex and the <br />vacant home west of the school which they own. She said in 2009 the school board met with <br />Landmarks to seek a certificate of appropriateness to demolish both structures. At the request of <br />the Commission, the schools agreed to look into ways in which elements of the structures could <br />be preserved and create a detailed development plan. The commission's last meeting with the <br />board of education was November of 2009 at which time they tabled the request. The clerk was <br />asked to provide members copies of documents pertaining to the 2009 Commission meetings.
