The city staff was represented by Assistant Chief of Police Bob Hundley.
The meeting was called to order at 5:18 by Acting Chairman George Kimbrough.
Mr. Kimbrough asked the commission members to review the submitted minutes
of the November 6th, 2008 meeting. Mr. Banks made a motion to approve the
minutes with a correction on page 2 where Jordon Harper was referred to as Mr.
Jordon instead of Mr. Harper. Mr. Banks then made the motion to accept the
minutes with the correction, seconded by Ms. Garmon and passed 6-0.
Mr. Kimbrough moved to item #3 regarding the nomination and vote regarding
the Chair of the commission. Mr. Kimbrough opened the floor for nominations.
Mr. Banks nominated Mr. Kimbrough, Ms. Garmon seconded the nomination and
moved that the nominations cease and Mr. Kimbrough be elected by
acclamation. Mr. Banks seconded the motion and the motion passed 5-0.
Mr. Kimbrough moved to item #4, which had been tabled at the last meeting,
regarding the intersection of Lewis Lane and Stone Ave. Mr. Banks made a
motion to remove the item from the table, seconded by Mr. McFadden and
passed 6-0. A discussion was had as to a stop sign placement at this
intersection. After discussion, Mr. Banks made the motion of establishing at stop
sign for southbound traffic on Lewis Lane at the intersection of Stone Avenue
and establishing a right turn only lane at the intersection. Second by Mr.
McFadden and the motion passed 6-0.
Item number 5 had to do with the establishment of a stop sign at the intersection
of Van Zandt and NE 14t" Street for east /west bound traffic on Van Zandt. AC
Hundley advised the commission that a local resident had complained of traffic
moving through the intersection which also has a drainage `dip' making noise
constantly when striking the undercarriage of vehicles. Ms. Garmon made a
motion to establish the stop signs for east/west bound traffic, seconded by Dr.
Calabria and passed 6-0.
Mr. Kimbrough moved to item 6 involving the placement of a left turn lane on S.
Collegiate in front of Crockett School. AC Hundley advised the commission that
he and the city engineer had measured the roadways in front of Crockett, Aiken,
and Travis for the possible placement of left turn lanes in front of these schools.
Only Collegiate was wide enough to allow a placement of the left turn lane.
Hundley had visited with the principal of Crockett, Ms. Chadwick who was in
favor of the lane and expressed that she thought it would help traffic congestion
at the school. Dr. Calabria made a motion to establish a left turn lane for the
southern entrance to the Crockett school. Seconded by Ms. Garmon and passed
6-0.
Item #7 was a information item to present the commission details of a overlay
project for SW 1St Street from the Plaza to Hearne Street.
Future agenda items included Ms. Garmon requesting that we investigate traffic
flow problems around the schools. Mr. McFadden asked that we check into a
parking problem on NE 32nds Street where parents are picking up children from
Aiken Elementary.
Mr. Banks moved for adjournment, which was seconded and the meeting ended

The Historic Preservation Commission meeting was called to order by Arvin
Starrett, Chairman.
A. The following members were present:
Arvin Starrett, Chairman
Ann Rogers
Paul Denney
Susan Scholz
Nancy Partridge
Ben Vaughan, Alternate
Jerry Raper, Alternate
The following members were absent:
Pike Burkhart, Vice Chairman

B. Also present was Lisa A. Wright, Historic Preservation Officer.
2. Consideration of and action on the following Certificate of Appropriateness:
A. 120 E. Kaufman/135 1st Street S.E. - City of Paris -Todd Varner stated
that the City Manager had asked him to present security issues to the
Commission because we are having issues with vandalism in the
parking lot. The current mercury vapor lights are not bright enough for
cameras to pick up activities, so we would like to replace with low
pressure sodium lights that are more efficient. The second issue is to
install a fence along the alley with a small fence on the east side of
dumpster and a fence running north and south between the buildings
to secure the generator and to stop pedestrian traffic, with a gate to
access the generator. Fencing materials will consistof clearcedarwith
a flat top.
Paul Denney stated that the fence looks good and he would approve
that; however, he has a problem with wall pack light fixtures. They're
blinding, and there are better alternatives than shooting light at cars.
Todd Varner stated LPS lights have anorange/yellow tint that is not that
blinding. We will have two lower watt lights instead of one really bright
one.
Arvin Starrett stated that he had researched across the country
regarding security lights and most districts forbade LPS lights or
anything else where the light is visible. He further stated he personally
preferred to light the lots with the same lights that surround the Plaza.
The City should lead by example, and he said he didn't feel comfortable
approving the source of lighting or the container presented, and it
shouldn't be attached to a historic building. He stated the City should
disguise the light source. Paul Denney added that wall packets are
actually counter-productive.
Todd Varner stated that we need enough light on the parking lot to
address the safety issue. Arvin Starrett stated that it just needs to be
something appropriate. Ann Rogers asked if sodium was the only kind
that gives enough light? Todd Varner stated that it's the best
alternative to give enough light without being too bright. The current
lights wash out the color of clothing on video. Paul Denney stated
metal halite is the most efficient next to the sodium. There are sodium
lights on the Plaza, probably because of TXDOT. He recommended
finding a modern fixture that looks similar to those on front of the
Council building. Arvin Starrett asked him to look into light posts.
Paul Denney stated that, if they must be on the building, come back
with bracket lights, frosted, vandal resistant lenses, polycarbonate,
metal halite. Mr. Denney further stated he discourages a wall pack.
Motion was made by Susan Scholz, seconded by Jerry Raper, to
approve the COA for the fence and deny the lights. Motion carried 7-0.
Motion was made by Paul Denney, seconded by Susan Scholz, to
recuse Ben Vaughan. Motion carried 6-0.
B. 801 Church Street -Ben Vaughan, Motion was made by Paul Denney,
seconded by Jerry Raper, to approve the COA as presented. Motion
carried 6-0.
Motion was made by Ann Rogers, seconded by Susan Scholz, to return
Ben Vaughan to the meeting. Motion carried 6-0.
3. Consideration of and action on awarding the following facade grant.
A. 306 Clarksville Street -Adkins United Finance, Disregard, not in the
district.
4. Discussion of and possible action on recommending amendments to the
Historic Preservation Ordinance pertaining to exterior property maintenance
of all buildings and the permitted uses of vacant buildings within the historic
districts.
Motion was made by Ben Vaughan, seconded by Susan Scholz, to remove this
item from the table. Motion carried 7-0.
Arvin Starrett stated that he would like to use Aiken, South Carolina, as an
example with a couple of revisions. It is concise, clear, and easy. Paul
Denney stated that he liked one key thing - it does not get into the use of a
structure. Mr. Denney further stated he didn't think being vacant and used for
storage was necessarily a threat to building, sometimes the wrong tenant is
worse. We still have a long road, and he's more interested in having the roof
fixed than how they are using the building. Ann Rogers asked which
provisions would govern the historic district and which would be city wide.
Arvin Starrett stated that, coming from this committee, it will focus on the
historic district only. This is worded concisely enough to show that. Motion
was made by Paul Denney, seconded by Susan Scholz, to recommend the
Aiken rules to the Task Force for implementation in the historic districts.
Motion carried 7-0.
5. Report on the proposed fencing ordinance as it relates to the Historic District
and mechanical screens/screening. Lisa Wright advised the Commission that
the fencing ordinance would not affect equipment screening in the historic
districts, and the design standards will have sufficient guidelines when this
situation arises.
6. Request items for future agendas. There were none.
7. The meeting adjourned at 12:30 p.m.
APPROVED THIS 12TH OF MARCH, 2008.

2. Approval of minutes from previous meetings. Minutes of the November 15,
2007, meeting were approved as presented.
3. Continued discussion of and possible action on recommending that the City
install a grass landing strip at the airport. Shane Grissom, City of Paris
Engineering Department, stated that Option 1 shown on the map goes over a
shallow drainage box. He recommended Option 3 because the other two
options could create drainage problems if we needed to level out the ground
in any way. Jack Ashmore stated that it won't need to be raised, we will just
prepare the surface. Billy Copeland stated the only option is to do Option
3. Vic Ressler stated Option 3 is out of the way. The Board asked who
would move fences, grade, and mow it down? Pete Kampfer stated that we
need to keep in the custody and maintenance of the City, and put it in the
budget because third party dealings could get bad and create liability for us.
Motion was made by Bill Boothe, seconded by Pete Kampfer, to approve
Option 3 on the contingency that maintenance and funding be done by the
City. Motion carried 7-0.
4. Consideration of and action on recommending a two year lease extension
with David L. Jones, d.b.a. Air Direct, LLC, in consideration for upgrading
the door on Hangar N at Cox Field. Motion was made by Jack Ashmore,
seconded by Harry Michalewicz, to approve the item as presented. Motion
carried 7-0.
5. Discussion of the 2008 Fly-In. Pete Kampfer stated we need an air boss to
coordinate an air show. We can get helicopters, Sky Hawks, Snow Birds,
wart hogs and F-16s (Cannon AFB). Glen Chapman stated he can get a
B-52 to fly over. Pete Kampfer stated we could get good organization and
do it right, and try to double or triple what we asked for last year from the
Chamber ($2500). We need to consider supplying fuel to get them here.
We can get an Army rock climbing wall, and in conjunction with the fly-in
have an air show. Harry Michalewicz stated an air show will cost the City a
lot of money. Pete Kampfer further stated if the military is involved, there
are escalated requirements and FAA involvement. Jack Ashmore stated he
talked to Muskogee, they put on a nice air show and they have a F-40. They
don't put on a long show, but it's nice and they'll do it for the cost of fuel.
He has contacted another pilot that does wing walking for $1,500. For all
three, it will cost only $6000, then we can have an hour long show. He
further stated that the hospital thought they could give us that amount. We
will need to block off an hour of no one flying in or out. Pete Kampfer
stated he wants to keep building on this every year, and we might potentially
have someone come in who wants to move here, build a hanger, build a
business here, etc. Pete stated he will help with website, marketing and
getting funding. The Fly-In will be the last Saturday of September.
6. Request for future agendas. Fly-In, courtesy car report, facility/airport
marketing.

Subject to the insertion of "Motion" being added on the first line under Section D, a Motion
to approve the minutes was made by Pete Kampfer and seconded by John Fuston. Motion carried
unanimously.
Discussion of and possible action on recommending the adoption of a comprehensive
parking ordinance
Chairman Wilson inquired of the Committee if they wanted to proceed with general
discussion or a detailed review. Marilyn Belevance said she preferred to do directly into an in depth
review of the proposed ordinance. Pete Kampfer asked why some of the ordinance was grayed out,
and Lisa Wright stated that the sections in gray are the technical provisions of the ordinance, and the
Task Force was welcome to review them; however, they're based on standards practices and State
requirements.
Lisa Wright informed the Committee that the proposed ordinance Sections 10-102 and 10-
103, the list of uses and minimum requirements, were more comprehensive and more current. She
stated the current ordinance had been on the books since the 1970s, and the dust-free ordinance
section since 1989. Lisa Wright also stated that a business owner who made an expansion to or
changed the use of his building would be required to bring the parking lot up to code under the new
ordinance.
Chairman Wilson said they should exercise caution when making decisions about the
ordinance because they wanted to be fair and promote growth.
Chairman Wilson moved to Sections 10-102 and 10-103. On recommendation of staff, a
Motion to approve Sections 10-102 and 10-103 was made by Bee Garmon and seconded by Council
Member Brown. Motion carried unanimously.
Chairman Wilson moved to Section 10-104. Sub-Section (a) was discussed at length by the
Committee, specifically whether or not to have screening next to a residence and whether parking
should be allowed at the front of a building that was next to a residence. It was a consensus of the
Committee to have staff re-word sub-section (a) and bring back to the next meeting. Chairman
Wilson also asked staff to bring a copy of the current ordinance red-lined for review by the
Committee. It was a consensus of the Committee to delete sub-sections (b) and (d).
Chairman Wilson inquired of staff as to how to deal with the size of trucks that could or
could not be parked in driveways, and he asked if we could add motor homes to the list of things that
cannot be parked on the street. Lisa Wright said parking on the street was already handled through
the traffic ordinance as far as semis go; however, she said she would get with Chief Louis to expand
what vehicles we might add to that.
Chairman Wilson moved to Sections 10-105 and 10-106. After review, it was a consensus
of the Committee to approve the sections as written.
Chairman Wilson moved to Section 10-108. It was a consensus of the Committee to approve
sub-sections (a)(1-9) and to delete sub-section (10)(a-d).
Chairman Wilson moved to Section 10-109. It was a consensus of the Committee to delete
the last sentence of the paragraph.
Chairman Wilson announced that they would start with Section 10-110 at the next meeting.
4. Discussion of and possible action on recommending provisions regulating the storage and
placement of recreational vehicles.
The Committee did not reach this item.
5. Request items for future agendas.
Chairman Wilson scheduled the next meeting for Tuesday, March 4, 2008.
