Kiley Landmark preservationists surpassed yet another obstacle Monday, May 9, in their efforts to prevent demolition of Holy Re- deemer Church. By a 7-1 vote the city planning commission approved the the city preserva- tion board's April recommendation that the church be granted landmark status. The planning commission's action means that officials of the Rochester diocese can make no. alterations to the 110-year-old edifice without first obtaining the preservation board's approval. In handing down its decision, the planning, commission cited- the importance of; Rochester's fifth-oldest German church to several ethnic groups and — echoing the preservation board-STatipnale — emphasized the architecttral sig^ficance of the church's onioh,d6irt^s;:i ; y^' f '••• ' r > Father JphhM. -Mulligan, director of the diocesan Division of Urban Services, said he had hoped, the commission would .place Vj§}.r--*et would house atf would .S§! , .

In an interview after the May 9 meeting, Henry McCartney, executive director of the Landmark Society of Western New York, said that the society would like to negotiate further with-the diocese before issuing a writtenproposal. He added that the society is presently appraising the Holy Redeemer parcel to get a better idea of what the land is worth. \We can put something in writing, but we really don't know what they (the diocese) want,\ McCartney said. \We'd like to try more dialogue with the diocese and see if we can resolve this thing.\ Jim Boehler, chairman of Friends of Holy Redeemer, a grass-roots group of Rochester-area citizens trying to save the city church from demolition, rebutted Father Mulligan's remark that the proposal would have to be in 'writing to be considered a sincere offer.

Both men were found guilty in criminal proceedings last September of violating the 1987 restraining order. Preliminary testimony in the civil trial had begun Thursday, April 7, but was postponed Friday afternoon, April 8, because of a con- flict in Judge Tillman's schedule. According to Joyce R. Parkeiy an attorney for the hospital, the goal of the case is to'*«$- trirt picketing so that the protests do not in- terfere with hospital operations:' Parker said the trial is not an anti-abortion action, nor an attempt to restrict freedom of speech. • \ ' Scott Smith, the attorney represCTtmg Father; Mugayero, said the hospital's case is based on i; the contention that its grounds-are;private property from which it can \legally bar iiiiiHi whomever it wishes; _. .•- '.J -J%W<'^.'% The anti-abortion activists, on the other; hand, contend that the hospitalis, in part, pub- lic property. \5 \Part of our claim e.that picketing and side- walk counseling on trie grounds of the hospi- tal — but outside tte doctor's offices — is' protected under thcfliw York S^ Constitu- tion;'Smith said. Js To support that cfiutn, Smith and David Long, who is representing ru^nself^ entered into evidence various documents showing that the hospital has received^te and federal fund- ing, this evidence demonstrates \state action\ in hospital affairs; Smith said. Smith asserted thaf when a private agency or individual is so involved with the state that its actions are, in essence, actions of the state. 4 i I nu
