4. Consideration of and action on the following Certificate of Appropriateness:
A. S East Plaza — Artesia Enterprises, LLC, Gary Brown stated they have negotiated
with Subway to lease this property. They have brought copies of all drawings to the
meeting. Jeff Martin, Subway Owner, stated they will be pulling off the current
boards where windows use to be and replacing with glass, also going back with
chocolate colored aluminum around the windows. They will also be adding an
additional door at north side of building per code. There use to be an entrance on
north side and it was bricked over. Mr. Martin further stated they will need a
covering over door to protect it and is proposing an aluminum frame canvas canopy
in the same chocolate brown color that is on the building. Arvin Starrett asked will
you be using existing door on the front of the building. Mr. Martin stated they are
proposing a glass aluminum door. Paul Denney asked if it could be a solid door. Mr.
Martin stated he preferred to use a see thru door for security purposes. Chairman
Starrett stated if you are replacing both doors, couldn't they be wood and glass. Mr.
Martin said that would not be a problem. He wants the building exterior to blend
with the downtown buildings. Subway is not near as picky with exterior of the
building verses the interior. Alex, Scott Custom Signs, presented the signage package
Subway is proposing. Alex stated they will be using existing sign frames and will
paint the frame to match, and replace existing guide wires. The sign will be exposed
neon around the edge, the Subway lettering will be exposed neon. The sign under the
awning will go in the existing sign cabinet and will be back lit. Commissioners
discussed the back lit sign and the use of it verses the Design Guidelines. It was
determined that the sign could be grandfathered in. Motion was made by Susan
Scholz, seconded by Paul Denney to approve the COA window replacement with
chocolate aluminum frame, wood door with glass panel located on the north side and
front of the building, aluminum frame canvas awning in chocolate color over
doorway on the north side, sign package for attached sign and the tailored back lit
sign under the canopy. Motion carried 5 -0.

3. Public hearing, consideration of and action on the application for a demolition permit by
Ben M. Vaughan for the structure located at 1110 Church Street.

permission to demolition the structure. Motion was made by Susan Scholz, seconded by
