Gary and Leslie Flynn presented a Certificate of Appropriateness Request for 10 N. Plaza.
The property owners explained they planned on simulating the storefront as presented
in the accompanying design rendering from the Texas Main Street Design
Assistance staff. There were a few modifications in which they needed guidance.
The rendering included two identical doors on opposing sides of the proposed
facade. The door to the left will lead to their residence, and the right door entrance
to the business. Doors will be made of wood framing a single pane of glass in the
middle of the windows. The storefront design includes a wooden bulkhead with 8
windows, 5 windows above the bulkhead, and three aligning windows above
them. The configuration is designed for the owners to be able to utilize outdoor
space. The owners intend to have outside service window in the center top that
lifts to expose the interior. This service window will be aligned with the 2, 3, and
4t' panes below. The panes on the right and left of the display windows will be
frosted to provide privacy and consistency. The property owners have requested
to replace the existing windows above the canopy with new windows that are
metal clad wooden windows. These windows configuration will match the style,
shape and scale of the existing windows. The property owner provided
photographs of the current conditions of the windows and believes they are not in
a condition for repair or energy efficiency.
The commission requested the building owners seek a professional assistance in
the restoration of the historic windows before removing and replacing the
windows. A professional window restoration contact will be given to the property
owner.
A motion was made by Commissioner Emmite to approve the Certificate of
Appropriateness with the condition the property owners research how to utilize
the single pane of glass as a serving door and consult with a window restoration
specialist about restoration of the windows for preservation and energy efficiency.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Coyle. Motion Carried.
Maverick Priest, owner of 21 S. Plaza is requesting to remove the inappropriate slip cover
over the front of the property, and restore the glass to the existing window frames. After brief
discussion on the existing condition under the facade a motion was made to approve the
Certificate of Appropriateness by Commissioner Vandiver, seconded by Commissioner
Emmite, motion carried.
Maverick Priest requested a fagade grant $2,500 to assist with removal of the fagade.
Commissioner Dux made the motion to approve the funds to remove fagade, seconded by
Commissioner Emmite, Motion carried.
The Commission reviewed the phase one proposed schedule for updating the Paris Historic
Resource survey submitted by McDoux Preservation. The current HPC budget was reviewed
and there is $15,000 available at this time. There are two $2,500 fagade grant requests with
work either about to begin or in progress. The cost of the phase 1 survey is $10,000. The
Commission discussed available funds and timelines on how future projects would be paid. A
motion was made by Commissioner Vandiver to approve moving forward on the project with
McDoux Preservation to complete Phase 1 updates to the Historic Resource Survey. Motion
was seconded by Commissioner Emmite, motion carried.
Commissioner Coyle gave an update on the virtual Imagine the Possibilities tours. The
properties highlighted will be on Clarksville ST. A video will be made and shared via social
media. Target properties are those for sale or lease, in addition to one property owner who
recently purchased a building and another who remodeled a building and put it to use. The
tours will be filmed to create interest and provide examples of what can be accomplished.
Cheri Bedford reviewed the minor Certificate of Appropriateness list provided to the
commissioners. Information was given to the commissioners about the National Alliance of
Preservation Commission training that was going to be funded by the Certified Local
Government Grant. Commissioner Emmite, Vandiver, and Coyle are planning on attending
the virtual training via the grant. Chairman Dux expressed intent to take the training on his
own.

Mr. Eyler then moved to item #3 regarding discussion and possible action
concerning installation of a stop sign at Stone Avenue and Lewis Lane. Mr, Tuttle
advised members that Jennifer Morgan had requested this item be placed on the
agenda. Ms. Morgan advised members that she has a student attending a North
Lamar School and frequently uses the intersection at Stone Avenue and Lewis
Lane. Morgan said due to the traffic volume before and after school there is a
safety issue at the intersection along with the intersection of Panther Drive
(private road) and Stone Avenue and believes adding a stop sign at Stone
Avenue and Lewis Lane for eastbound traffic on Stone would improve the safety
of the intersection, It was suggested that North Lamar be requested to place a
stop sign on Panther Drive at Stone avenue where a yield sign is now. Mr. Tuttle
informed members that this was a unique intersection with Lewis Lane and
Panther Drive intersection Stone avenue a
private road on the north side of Paris Regional Medical Center also intersection
Stone Avenue near Panther Drive. Mr. Tuttle said because of this he didn't think
a four way stop would work. Mr. Tuttle also advised members that state law
requires traffic entering a public street from a private road must yield right of way
to the traffic on the public street. There is currently a small non -regulation stop
sign for traffic on the Private Road behind the hospital which is non -enforceable.
Ms. Easton also did not recommend stop signs due to Stone Avenue being a
through public street and stop signs do not meet the requirements of the Texas
Manuel on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. After discussion Mr. Sanders made a
motion to place a stop sign on Stove Avenue and Lewis Lane stopping
eastbound traffic on Stone. Ms. Boswell second the motion and it carried 4-1 with
