outside the loop was made by Jerry Rose and seconded by Bee Garmon. The Motion carried
unanimously.
Chairman Wilson moved through the following sections of the proposed ordinance and it was
a consensus of the Task Force to make the following changes:
(d) Location of billboards.
(1) The sentence was changed to end after the word "loop".
(3) The sentence was deleted.
(6) The required feet will be changed from 100 feet to 500 feet and the words
"ground-mounted" was deleted.

House. The Motion carried unanimously.

two. Lisa Wright explained the reasons for deleting this section. The Task Force discussed limiting
the cloud buster balloons or allowing them under the section dealing with temporary signs, as
opposed to prohibiting them. There was discussion about restrictions being a burden on the staff,
because they will have to monitor the action. A Motion to allow cloud buster signs under temporary
signs restricting them to four times a year for fifteen days each time was made by Bee Gannon and
seconded by John House. The Motion carried, 6 ayes - 3 nays, without Jim Lassister, Don Taylor
and John Fuston casting the dissenting votes.
28-10.1 Temporary or portable signs.
Citizen Steven Foster, 1725 Anderson Road, opposed restrictions recommended by the Task
Force, because he said it hurt small businesses.
Lisa Wright continued explaining the changes in Draft #3. It was a consensus of the Task
Force to strike (7).

Lisa Denman said by restricting tempora.ry signs, such as bullet signs and marque signs they
were hurting businesses. Gene Ray agreed with Ms. Denman. Chairman Wilson said it was not fair
that some were complying with the law and then others were allowed to have temporary signs and
permanent signs. Mayor Freelen agreed with Chairman Wilson.
There was discussion by the Task Force to allow torpedo signs to be converted into
permanent signs. Chairman Wilson suggested they take this item up af the next meeting, because
they had already run over their meeting time by forty-five minutes.

4. Review and discuss the briefing books.
Shawn Napier distributed handouts regarding HDR Engineering, an article on Oklahoma
water and sediment data from the Corps of Engineers. Mr. Napier and committee members
discussed the upcoming volumetric survey and different methods of determining the amount of water
in Lake Pat Mayse. Mr. Napier informed the committee that water attorney Jim Matthews was
expected to meet with them in the near future. Chairman Hayter asked the committee members to
forward to Mr. Napier any questions they may want to ask Jim Matthews.
Sharron Nabors asked staff for information regarding the charges to industrial customers for
water. For comparison reasons, Dan Smith suggested that staff formulate one chart compiled of
contract information from all of the graphs reflecting what each industry pays to the city, including
minimum charges. Chairman Reeves informed the committee that a rate consultant would be
addressing the committee.

.
In addition, the committee discussed peak data for water consumption. Richard Quarles said
they would need to look at the hottest months to determine the most consumption. Rick McDougall
said they would also have to take into consideration evaporation during those months. Robert
Campbell stated that evaporation losses were probably more than consumption. Herb Campbell told
the committee that water evaporation accounted for 29 million gallons a day.
As discussed at the last meeting, the committee continued working through the briefing book.
5. Discuss goals and objectives for the committee.
Chairman Hayter stated the goal for the committee was to help the City use it's water
resources in the most appropriate manner. He summarized the committee's objectives as
determining the water needs and supplies of Lake Pat Mayse. He also stated they needed to
determine whether or not the City desired to make money; whether or not the City desired recreation
opportunity, or whether or not the City wanted to do both. Sharron Nabors said one of the obj ectives
was to develop and help Paris grow. Ray Ball added that the citizens needed to be given an objective
view. Herb Campbell emphasized if the decision was going to be to sell water, that they did not need
to wait too long. Mr. Campbell said other lakes were being built and there would be a lot of
competition. Richard Quarles added that they needed to stay focused on what they were going to
accomplish.
Dan Smith inquired about forming a sub-committee to work on goals and objectives.
Chairman Hayter expressed that was a good ideal and asked Dan Smith to be the chairman and
Richard Quarles to be the vice-chairman. He also asked John Kruntorad and Ray Ball to serve on
the sub-committee. It was decided that the sub-committee would e-mail information to committee
members a couple of days prior to the next meeting.

A. 824 S. Main Street - Diana Zab/osky, Ms. Zablosky stated she is
proposing a decorative fence in the front yard. It will be placed behind
the front yard tree. The fence is antique, and there will be a gate on the
sidewalk that matches the fence.
Paul Denney stated the style of fence is difFerent from the style of the
home, and we could be setting precedent if we allow different styles.
Arvin Starrett stated the fence is made of approved material and the
setback meets the ordinance. Paul Denney further stated Church Street
and South Main are a hodgepodge of difFerent styles and that may be
already be the precedent. Motion was made by Ben Vaughan,
seconded by Ann Rogers, to approve COA. Motion carried 7-0.
B. 326 S. Main Street - Paris Public Library by Priscilla McAnally, Ms.
McAnally stated she is proposing a fence with a gate in the alleyway to
block access to the roof because skateboarders have been on the roof.

gold leaf with black shadow, and all lettering proposed will be made
from the same materials.
Ms. Pickering further stated that Uptown Properties will remove
existing exterior lettering on the top of the building and replace it with
Uptown Center lettering in copper with gooseneck lights in black. Paul
Denney stated the lights may not fit as proposed. Ms. Pickering
continued with the suspended sign, which will be attached between 30
and 34 Clarksville and will consist of iron with wood panels and gold
leaf lettering. The suspended sign will have an eight foot clearance.
Arvin Starrett asked if she could provide something better as to what
the top sign and the lights will look like. Motion was made by Paul
Denney, seconded by Nancy Partridge, to approve all except the top
sign, which was tabled. Motion carried 7-0.
4. Discussion of and possible acfion regarding the following structure
considered by code inspectors to be in violation of Article l/l of Chapter 7 of
the Code of Ordinances of the City of Paris, Paris, Texas, entitled
"Substandard and Dangerous Buildings and Structures," to determine
whether such structure can be rehabilitated and designated on the National
Register of Historic P/aces, as a recorded Texas Hisforic Landmark, or as
historic property as designated by the City Council of the City of Paris:

Motion was made by Ben Vaughan, seconded by Pike Burkhart, to send all
structures to the Building and Standards Commission for demolition since
they cannot be rehabilitated nor do they have significant historical value.
Motion carried 7-0.
5. Discussion of and possib/e 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. Lisa Wright explained why this is necessary. Pike Burkhart stated
that the information provided to them is on the right track. Several
commissioners stated they were not ready to discuss this item yet. Motion
was made by Ann Rogers, seconded by Paul Denney, to table. Motion carried
7-0.
6. Discussion of and possib/e action on recommending amendments to the
Historic Preservation Ordinance to allow for administrative approval of
various items. Arvin Starrett stated he is hesitant to act on this until the
design guidelines have been completed. Motion was made by Pike Burkhart,
seconded by Nancy Partridge, to table until the guidelines are completed.
Motion carried 7-0.
8. Discussion of and possible action on the definition of inechanical
screens/screening as it re/afes to historic properties; separating its inclusion
in the Design Guidelines from those items pertaining to fencing or re/ated
structures. Arvin Starrett stated that we need a definition of inechanical
screening to separate it from the fencing ordinance. Screening HVAC units
is an example of what we might need to address. Paul Denney stated that it
is an absolute must to make a distinction with more stringent fresh air
requirements. Arvin Starrett said we may have set precedent in the Nielson
property by allowing space for air. Arvin Starrett further stated mechanical
equipment screens shall not be considered fencing, and should be
considered by commissioners on a case by case basis. Arvin Starrett asked
Lisa to come back to the next meeting with a section on fencing and
mechanical screening.
7. Consideration of and possib/e action on requesting the assistance of
ArchiTexas to p/an the hisforically accurate and architecturally feasib/e
restoration of the exterior facade of The Grand Theafer. Arvin Starrett stated
that the Downtown Merchants Association is avid in its feelings to start fund-
raising efforts for The Grand. Their focus is for the outside only, and he said
he had multiple concerns about the structure in general. Mr. Starrett further
stated he is concerned that people won't give twice when additional funds are
needed to complete the inside. Motion was made by Pike Burkhart, seconded
by Nancy Partridge, to approve requesting assistance, with the requirement
that no work can commence on the interior or remainder of the exterior of the
building until a multi-phase plan is completed. Motion carried 7-0. Lisa
Wright advised the Commission that, should ArchiTexas bid too much, she
would seek other bids.
9. Request items for future agendas. There were none.

2. Consideration of and acfion 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 consist of clear cedar with
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 an orange/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.
. 0 [,2 4
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 Unifed Finance, Disregard, not in the
district.
4. Discussion of and possib/e 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.

the fencing ordinance would not affect equipment screening in the historic

situation arises.

A. 854 S. Church Street- Richard Hunt- Mr. Hunt, 405 W. Kaufman/2651st
Street S.E., stated that this is an interior and exterior remodel. Theywill
be replacing rotten areas along with the slate roof. Mr. Hunt further
stated they are proposing to replace the roof with a slate lookalike
composition shingle. There is a similar roof at 557 S. Main, which is
Clifton Fendley's home. He further stated that composition in our area
would work better. They will be replacing the back flat panel door later
and will be replacing windows with Weather shield clad on exterior and
wood on interior. Mr. Hunt stated they will be replacing or repairing
rotten wood on building and will approve colors at a later date. He will
try and save the windows because of the leaded glass, but some are
too far gone.
Paul Denney stated he preferred to see the wood windows preserved
on the sunhoom. Richard Hunt stated he will have window sample
soon, but he does not have roofing samples today. He further stated
he is two months away from being ready for that. Mr. Hunt
recommended the Commissioners look at the Fendley house to see the
roof proposed. Motion was made by Susan Scholz, seconded by Ann

carried 7-0.
B. 137 S. Main Street - Aaron Raper - M r. Raper stated he was there to get

Rogers, to approve the COA. Motion carried 7-0.
