4.
Presentation of and possible action on the formal redesignation of the
preliminary boundaries of the proposed Paris Downtown Historic District.
When preparing for the general mailing to property owners, it was found that
previous boundaries of the 1984 survey that were passed did not agree.
There were potential properties that should contribute to this district that
were not included in either of those boundaries. The decision was made to
go ahead and do property owner notification for some areas that was not
approved by this body. Tommy Haynes showed the Commission what was
there originally and what was opted to be done. First Methodist Church was
added, the property to the east of the church, the Salvation Army building, and
the apartment complex between the church and the Salvation Army, also, the
service station at 4th and Bonham. The boundaries that were approved earlier
did not include the Gibralter Hotel or the Bedford Apartments. For National
Register purposes, they were probably considered stand alone properties in
the survey in 1984. Those properties were added as well. Mr. Schenk stated
that the new revised version of the Historical District should be approved at
this meeting. If this new version of the Historical District is approved then
this is the one that will be used from this point forward. Tommy Haynes
stated that all addresses and numbers used by the Appraisal District will be
on the new map. Motion was made by Barbara Wilson to accept the revised
Historic District, seconded by Becki Norment. Motion carried unanimously.
