Mr. Stone stated that they did not want children to cross 3rd Street, so the playground was to be built on the church proper with a 1' retaining wall with a cast iron fence and landscaping. Chairman Starrett advised Mr. Stone that the fence was not included on the application. Chairman Starrett informed the Commission that he had spoken with the Texas Historic Commission, and they advised that, in the strictest sense by the Secretary of the Interior's Standards, this type of playground is not appropriate at this location, but the Commission wants to work with the church. They made three recommendations: (1) that the front of the equipment be set back as far under the loggia as possible; (2) that the equipment should be in a blond putty color to match the brick color of the building; and (3) that screening be placed to hide view of the equipment from the street. Chairman Starrett asked Mr. Stone, if the Commission were to table this item, would he be able to get information about the fence and the color of the equipment by next month's meeting, and Mr. Stone stated that he could. The Commission advised Mr. Stone that they would like to see a photo of the proposed fence and a drawing showing how it relates to the building and how the landscaping would relate to the fence. Motion to table this item was made by Sue Lancaster, seconded by Jerry Raper. Motion carried 7 -0. Motion to allow Brian Wear to return to the meeting was made by Paul Denney, seconded by Jerry Raper. Motion carried 7 -0.
