unless you are standing directly in front of it. Current supports are adequate to support
additional compressor. Ben Vaughan asked what other options are available other than
mounting on canopy? Mr. Waite stated roof not an option due to problems with leaking.
The roof has a foam overlay and is hard but you can't put weight on it or it will leak. Mr.
Waite further stated this is the only other option and it's not a good option, pipes would
have to be ran up the side of the building. Ben Vaughan stated the conduit could be
painted, preferable solution to another ac unit on the canopy. Arvin Starrett stated
guidelines state must be out of line of sight, existing units grandfathered, if we allow this
it could set precedent. Paul Denney stated a platform could be attached to allow the ac
unit to be placed on the roof and only a small portion of the unit will be visible from the
street. Mr. Denney further stated ideal situation would be to change out existing units to
larger units. Gary Waite stated that already have a larger unit serving the offices. This
unit will be placed between two existing units and will be out of sight. Mr. Waite stated a
trade off would be the removal of the existing window unit and replacement of the
« .000015
window glass. The function of the canopy was to hold the ac units.
Motion was made by Ben Vaughan, seconded by Jerry Raper that the request does not
meet the Texas Historical Commissions standards and voting to approve goes against the

available just in case. Matt Coyle stated it would be nice to listen to citizens concerns but
