Presentation by Sue Ann Pemberton, Main Street Architects, of the draft of the revised Design Guidelines for the Commercial and Residential Districts. Sue Ann Pemberton, Preservation Architect from San Antonio, stated that the guidelines have been modified and expanded from the draft provided to them. There have been several additional photos and diagrams added. The descriptions throughout were also too broad-they will be need to revised to be specific to Church Street. The exception to that will be in the glossary-by expanding the glossary and using examples all around Paris means there will be less updates required to the glossary when additional districts are added. The terminology will be the same no matter what district it is in. The glossary for the commercial district is expanded to about 23 pages. Sue Ann will take photos of various roofs to identify those that are appropriate and those that are not Arvin Starrett would like for Lisa to send Sue Ann Pemberton specific rules adopted by the Commission to make sure they get into the draft. Sue Ann state she can have another good quality draft by the end of the year. Arvin Starrett recommended a one agenda item meeting to consider each item item in the guidelines line-by-line.
