out during the meeting, a beer company could purchase the sign from Pepsi and put up its own lettering. Where the Commission would step in would be the actual movement of the sign, so, continuing with the same beer example, if the beer company wanted to move the sign to install its own lettering it would have to come before the Landmarks Commission.

But that is all a technical matter, the commissioners at the meeting ensured. They've had extensive discussions with Pepsi, and with the residents of the nearby apartments, and both wish to keep the sign, and as a result the Landmarks Commission has decided to make an exception with its consideration.

In regards to Greenwood Cemetery, the Commission forego considering the entire 478-acre site, but instead chose threebuildings on the site: the chapel, the visitor's cottage, and the caretaker's building. The gothic main gate is already a city landmark.

At first, the Commission had only chosen to prioritize 28 items, but by the end of the meeting that number increased to 30 with the addition of the Lakeman House [Warning:PDF] on Staten Island, and Excelsior Power Company Building in the Financial District in Manhattan.

In the next step of this procedure, the Commission will now deliberate the landmark status for some of these 30 items on April 12 this year.

A full list of the items that were deliberated on are available on the Commission's website.
