May 21, 2005 <br />Page 2 <br />He told the Commission that he had experimented with several different <br />windows before settling on 3/1. He said he did not like the fact that 2/2 <br />windows would have a bar in the middle that obstructed the view from <br />inside, and the view was especially important facing the park to the <br />south and the churches to the east. To help with his decision and to <br />make sure he was doing what he was supposed to do, he contacted <br />Wayne Bell with the Texas Historical Commission who came to Paris <br />to view the building. Because the YWCA, which is directly across the <br />street, had 3/1 windows, and because 3/1 windows give the building a <br />more residential feel, Mr. Wilson explained that he felt this kind of <br />window would be more appropriate. <br />With regard to the color, Mr. Wilson explained that he had experimented <br />with various colors, but had some trouble coming up with something <br />that would be appropriate. He inquired about the cost of custom colors <br />on the windows and found that it would not be prohibitive. The color <br />finally selected is called “Jogging Path.” <br />He told the Commission that he had done his homework and even <br />spent extra money to try to comply with the requirements. Arvin <br />Starrett told Mr. Wilson that the Commission, especially with regard to <br />adaptive reuse, was not required to hold to total accuracy. He <br />reminded the Commission of Mr. Atnip’s building, which the <br />Commission allowed a change in the front exterior in order to adapt the <br />building to a new multi-use. Chairman Starrett also told the <br />Commission that 3/1 windows were not listed in the Design Guidelines, <br />but that this was an error that ArchiTexas would be correcting, along <br />with several others. <br />Motion to approve the COA to install 3/1 windows in “Jogging Path” <br />color was made by Paul Denney, seconded by Sue Lancaster. Motion <br />carried 6-0. Motion to bring Barbara Wilson back to the meeting was <br />made by Brian Wear, seconded by Ann Rogers. Motion carried 6-0. <br />Becki Norment arrived. <br />B.. Karol Lyn Moore explained to <br />135 Lamar Avenue - Karol Lyn Moore <br />the Commission that she wanted to remove the covering beneath the <br />windows at Dressed to a Tea to expose the wood that matches that in <br />front of Bowden’s. She said she also wanted to put glass in by the <br />mezzanine level but wanted to paint it black to cover the construction <br /> <br />
