Council 's attention was called to a letter from Mr. liarsh Everson, GOO0 Fox Meadow Lane, expressing his concern that "owner consent" should be added to the Heritage Preservation Ordinance to "prevent 'stampeding' the Preservation Board, Planning Commission and Council". Mr. Foster Dunwiddie, Chairman of the Heritage Preservation Board, explained the procedures under trhich the Heritage Preservation Board must act and advised that in 1971 the U. S. Supreme Court had laid down a decision that landmark laws are not reverse spot zoning and are not discriminatory. that the Supreme Court has ruled that designation of an historic site does not constitute a "taking". Mr. Dunwiddie referred to a letter from Father Mahon of thechurch of St. Patrick, asking that the Heritage Preservation Board consider the 3bntessori Day Care Center at 7000 Cahill Road, presently owned by Mr.'Ever- son and which formerly housed St. Patrick's Church, as an historic site. In response to cases cited by I4r. Dunwiddie, lfr. Erickson said that the question of "taking" and the zoning laws have never been.fully resolved by the Courts and that this is a concern that Council may some day have to face.
