r <br />Chair Cox asked if anyone else in the audience wanted to speak. <br />Ray Trotter, who owns a house on South Church Street, stated he had requested a <br />certificate of appropriateness to install a metal roof on the house and that his experience <br />with the commission had not been good. He said he felt that the guidelines allowed the <br />commission to approve metal roofing for his house. Mr. Trotter also stated that when he <br />appeared before the commission another member of the audience, his neighbor, informed <br />him that the commission was going to approve the metal roofing on the garage but not <br />approve it on the house. He said that experiences like his are why people do not like to <br />appear before the commission. <br />Chair Cox commented that he remembered the case and that the commission had allowed <br />metal roofing on the detached garage which had already been completed, but disapproved <br />metal roofing on the house because the guidelines did not allow it. He felt that if property <br />owners understood the guidelines, that there would be less dissatisfaction with the <br />commission. <br />Dr. Mosely spoke and stated that the commission should have an attendance policy to <br />remove members that missed too many meetings. Chair Cox stated that he agreed. <br />Council Member Sue Lancaster spoke and stated that she supported the commission and <br />felt that the proposed changes should have been presented to the commission first, and <br />that she did not agree with the proposed changes. She commented that she had restored a <br />house on South Church Street and did not have problems with the commission. <br />With no others wanting to spear Chair Cox summarized the item by stating that the <br />commission was not in favor of the proposed changes. He also requested that the city <br />council consider a new attendance policy that allowed removal of a member that is absent <br />more than 3 meetings in a row. No action was taken. <br />5.
