The Italian Village Society is i/ery interested in the opinions of those who live and work in the Italian Village area.

The Italian Village Society conducts meetings the second Tuesday of every month, (and we have more information on those meetings on the inside back page of this issue). These meetings are open to everyone who has an interest in the area. We welcome all those concerned enough to come to these meetings.

However, since the meetings are only attended by a handful of the people who live in the area, we are making an effort to get the opinion of everyone, whether or not you attend the the meetings. Your opinion is important to us, which is why we are putting this questionaire out. Please take a moment to fill out this questionairre and mail it to the Society today. By doing this, you will help us in determining what's important to the people who live in the neighborhood, so we can address those issues in the coming months.

DIRECTIONS: The following is a list of issues we feel affect all of us. Please circle the number in front of the response which most accurately reflects your opinion on each of the following topics. If there is an issue which we have not listed below, feel free to write in your own comments, and attend the next IV Society meeting.

Once you've completed this questionairre, please fold it so the Italian Village Society logo is facing out, tape or staple it closed, put a stamp on and drop it in the mail. Thanks for your help.

Parking 1) There is a parking problem in Italian Village, and I have ideas on how to improve it, 2) There is no parking problem in Italian Village at the moment, but there will be when the new convention center opens. 3) We do not have a parking problem in Italian Village.

Trash Collection 1) Trash collection is reliable and effective. 300 gallon trash containers have improved the cleanliness of streets and alleys. 2) Trash collection has improved, but the City should inspect the condition of 300 gallon containers more often. 3) Litter and trash collection has not improved. I am unhappy with 300 gallon containers and would like to see them removed.

Recycling 1) The City's curb-side recycling program is great. All of Italian Village should be included. 2) Recycling is a good idea, but I don't know much about the City's curb- side recycling program. 3) It's too much much trouble...I never recycle things.

Code Enforcement 1) The City does an effective job of enforcing health and building code violations in Italian Village. 2) The City does a pretty good job of citing code violators, but does not follow up with enough enforcement. 3) The violation of health and building codes is a major problem in IV. The City must improve its code enforcement operations and should shut down houses not up to code.

The New 1-670 highway to the Airport 1) 1-670 will be great when it's finished. Traffic congestion will be reduced, and access to the airport will be more convenient. 2) There are some positive aspects of 1-670, but I am concerned about the demolition of historic buildings. I would like to know more about the plans for 1-670. 3) The City and State have been extremely uncooperative in working with Italian Village. I am worried about demolition of historic buildings and the disruption of Italian Village during construction. The Italian Village Commission ______. ^ _ _ 1) The TV Commission does an excellent job. I recognized that the commissioners are all volunteers, and that they care about the quality of life in 'Italian Village. 2) The concept of architectural review is good, hut the Commission should be more flexible. 3) The Italian Village Commission .is very difficult to work with. Owners should be allowed to do whatever thejy went to theii property* The Commission should be eliminated.

The Italian Village Society . ___ 1) The IV Society is an excellent way for neighbors to meet each other and discuss topics of importance to the area. 2) The concept of a neighborhood association is good, but I don't really know what the IV Society does. 3) The Italian Village Society represents only a few people in the neighbor­ hood. It should be more involved with all parts of Italian Village.

10 The Building Doctor BUILDING DOCTORS TO HOLD CLINIC IN COLUMBUS

A Building Doctor Clinic, designed to educate and assist property owners and tenants in the maintenance and rehabilitation of older buildings, will be conducted by two members of the Technical Preservation Services Department of the Ohio Historic Preservation Office of the Ohio Historical Society. Cosponsored by Foundation, Bryden Road Association, German Village Society, Italian Village Society, Neighborhood Association, University Community Association, and Victorian Village Society, the clinic will include an evening lecture followed by a day of scheduled site visits. The slide-illustrated lecture will cover topics such as architectural significance, recommended guidelines for rehabilitation, and identifying and solving special problems that may be encountered when rehabilitating an older building. If your building has technical or design problems that you are not sure how to solve, be sure to schedule a Building Doctor site visit. The Building Doctors visit all types of buildings • industrial complexes, churches, commercial blocks, apartment buildings, schools, as well as houses. This is not a building tour - the purpose is to visit "sick" buildings! A few examples of situations that may warrant a site visit are persistent peeling paint or flaking plaster, wet basements, deteriorating masonry, proposals for additions or demolitions, and energy conservation questions. The Building Doctors are available to help with problems that don't seem to have solutions! If you request a site visit you must attend the evening lecture so that you can receive helpful background information before the visit.

LECTURE: Friday, May 18, 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. DATES: Friday May 18 and Saturday May 19 The Kelton House 586 East Town Street Columbus, Ohio 43215 SITE VISITS: Scheduled for Saturday. Columbus site visits may be requested by completing the form below and returning it to the Ohio Historical Society. Please attach a brief written synopsis of your building's problem, and what you would like the Doctor to see. There are a limited number of site visits available, so get your request in soon!

There is no charge for attending the evening lecture, or for scheduling a site visit, however, because there is a minimum attendance number required to hold a clinic, you must pre-register.
