Commissioner Dux called the meeting to order at 4: 00 p. m.
Minutes for the October 10, 2018 meeting were approved by acclamation:
Marvin Gorley was present to explain the Certificate of Appropriateness request for 128 &
132 S. Main Street, former Henry Printing and Shurshave building. The renovations will take
place on the north half of the building, historically named the Bywaters building. The
property owner is requesting a repair to awning in kind, uncovering and repair of original
transom windows, repair and replace dilapidated portions of the storefront in the traditional
storefront model, and an addition of two custom sliding large doors in the north facing wall.
The doors are to provide for access to the vacant property next door where a building burned
in the early 2000' , in hopes of future patio expansion. Roof will be repaired and the large
doghouse on top will be removed. A parapet cap will be secured on the top of the brick
dividing wall between the vacant area and the building. After a few questions about the
project, a motion was made by Commissioner Coyle and seconded by Commissioner Lazar to
approve the certificate of appropriateness as presented. Motion carried.
Commissioner Emmite made the motion to approve the item A. 534 NW 5th and item B. 346
NW 3rd be sent to Building and Standards Commission with no opposition, as they hold no
historic value to the community, and cannot be rehabilitated or designated on the National
Register of Historic Places or a Recorded Texas Landmark or a Local Historic Landmark.
Motion was seconded by Commissioner Lazar, motion carried.
Item 6 was moved up on the agenda. Commissioner Coyle presented the clarifications of the
fence guidelines as developed by the subcommittee. After brief discussion a motion was made
to approve the new guidelines and ask the council to adopt the new amendment by
Commissioner Lazar, seconded by Commissioner Emmite, motion carried.
City Manager, John Godwin presented a draft mural ordinance for commission input. A
subcommittee was appointed to review the draft for consistency with the design standards.
Commissioners Lazar, Emmite, and Vandiver volunteered to be on the committee.
Commissioner Lazar agreed to lead the committee. No other action taken.
Cheri gave a report on the in house approved certificates of appropriateness s and answered
questions. She invited commissioners to the up and coming events in downtown, and
informed them on an educational project on the history of Paris she discussed with the S &
6th grade Socrates students.
Commissioner Hider requested a discussion item on incentives for the Church Street
residential district be added to the next agenda.
Hearing no other items, CommissionerCoyle made a motion to adjourn at 4:50 p.m.,
