VII. Recommendation to City Commission Regarding Demolition of
Log Cabin: Mr. Mills showed a video tape of the
inspection of the log cabin conducted by him and Cal
Conklin. He noted that anything can be restored. The
problem with the Log Cabin is that the bottom series of
logs on the east and west sides, 4, 5 to 6 high on both
sides need to be replaced. The only way that they can be
repaired properly would be to run something through the
underside between the border joints to support the rest
of the building on temporary jacks while taking the
rotted logs out and installing the new beam and new logs..
This is only in 25% of the entire building. If this was
done first, then there is a possibility that the building
could be moved. A lot of what is in the Cabin is
salvageable, i.e. wood, the roof system. Mr. Mills
suggested that a picture be put into the newspaper asking
if anyone is interested in saving this building and
relocating it. The roof and the structure that supports
the roof are in real good shape.
Mr. Mills moved that the Board cannot recommend
demolition to the City Commission because this is a
historic structure, and also that there is a possibility
that the building could be restored, and /or the building
could be relocated with some extensive temporary shoring,
and that the Board also recommends that the City consider
opening it up for a developer or anyone to purchase and
relocate the building. Seconded by Mr. Skat. Under
discussion, Mr. Skat stated that if the City should
decide to demolish it, the Board should have some input
as to what happens with the components of the building.
All in favor of the motion. Motion carried.
VIII. Other Business: Mr. VanGaale asked the Board to consider
an application for a tin roof for 805 Elm Avenue. He
stated that the roof is a part of the house which is a
built up shed roof. In the back of the home there is
considerable water damage and it is leaking. The
Hedin4ers would like to use a metal roof on that area.

Mr. Mills moved to have the Chairman take a look at the
roof and pass it as a minor review item. Mr. Moore
seconded. All in favor. Motion carried.
Mr. Skat moved to make it policy that if there is an
attorney with a court reporter present that the City
Attorney also be present. Seconded by Mr. Mills. Mr.
Moore stated that the presence of our lawyer should not
be predicated on whether there is a court reporter
present or not. If a lawyer is present from the other
side, then we should have a lawyer present for our side.
All in favor. Motion carried.
The Board discussed the Certificate of Appropriateness
applications as to requiring more information upon
submittal. They discussed Norval Angle's home at 914
Park Avenue as to the color and the fence. The Board

relocation. Mr. VanGaale will report at next month's
