The proposed change would deal with the painting of existing exterior masonry or brick. Existing exterior brick face ar other masonry maybe painted in the historic district in cases where one property owner owns a multi building campus of connected or adjacent buildings where such buildings where designed and constructed during different time periods and stylistic periods. In such cases, the other buildings can be painted the same color as the original masonry color of the oldest and/or the most historically significant structure or structures as determined by the Historic Preservation Commission. All paint colors will be approved by the this commission prior to execution and a ten foot by ten foot area on the building shall be reviewed by the City of Paris Historic Preservation Officer prior to painting the rest of the structures. Mr. Denney stated this would give us an opportunity to deal with other structures in town that are built in a later period like metal buildings and that type of structure. When those are located on the same campus it could help us have a more cohesive downtown. Mr. Denney gave several examples of structures where this amendment could come into play. Commissioners discussed the proposed addition of this amendment to the Design Guidelines. Motion was made by Ben Vaughan, seconded by Paul Denney to adopt by rule and make an amendment to the Desigm Standards to allow "Existing exterior brick face or other masonry maybe painted in the historic district in cases where one property owner owns a multi-building campus of connected or adjacent buildings where such buildings where designed and constructed during different time periods and stylistic periods.
