Robert Talley stated that this property has come before the Commission several
times. An engineer's report from Dietz Engineers, LLC was presented as part of
the BSC packet. Mr. Talley read over several key elements of the report which
stated that the building was in danger of collapsing toward the street on the south
side and would be a danger to the public. Mr. Talley spoke with Michael Bugh of
Dietz Engineers and he suggested closing off the south side of the building up to
the street. Mr. Talley did this and stated that Mr. Kammer had already put up a
fence up along the east side, which was another concern stated by Mr. Bugh. Mr.
Talley stated that the property went before the Historical Preservation
Commission and they believe that the building was a danger to the public. Mr.
Talley recommended demolition to this property in 90 days.
Mr. Kammer handed out paperwork to all committee members and Code
Enforcement, and some members of the audience listing all the work he has done
to the building in the 22 years that he has owned it. He made note that he read
about the report of his property in the Paris News and that he would have liked to
have known about it before the newspaper did. He also stated that he did not
know the building went before HPC, if he had known he would have been at that
meeting as well. Mr. Kammer began reading the list of the work he has done on
the building. Mr. Kammer believes that the City of Paris, the Harper
family/corporation(s) and the Wilson family/corporation(s) should pay for the
cost of repairs to his building "out of restitution for years of neglect of duty".
Wendell Moore stated that you can't make your neighbor replace your roof and
asked Mr. Kammer what his plans were for repairing the building as stated in the
engineers report. Mr. Kammer said he was going to have the City of Paris, the
Harper's and the Wilson's to restore it. Zach Saffle asked if that meant he was
going to do nothing and Mr. Kammer stated that is correct.
Robert Talley again recommended demolition of the property in 90 days due to
the current state of the property, the engineers report and that Mr. Kammer has no
plans to do anything.
Motion was made by Johnny Norris, seconded by Chris Brown to follow

from completely deteriorating. Mr. Adams stated at some point he does want to
go back with the original store front. Jeanna Scott stated when you get ready to
do that, Cheri Bedford the Main Street Manager can help you. The Main Street
Architects with the Texas Historic Commission will come down and do a free
farade rendering of the store front. Motion was made to approve the COA with
the following conditions: repair/repaint of the transom window covers; install a
Therma core door in the existing personal door opening; and remove the
�� 26
temporary covering and reinstall the wood bay door. Motion carried 6-0.
B. 134 IS` Street S. W. — Richard Hunt, contractor representing the property owner
presented the petition. Mr. Hunt stated Mr. Fred Truby owns this building and
has contacted him to help repair the front that faces Kaufinan Street. Mr. Hunt
stated he is proposing to replace and reconstruct the transom windows similar to
what he did at the City Attorney's office. Mr. Truby would like to have an
operable door in the front of the building. Mr. Hunt proposed a recessed door be
installed at that location to protect the opening and help protect the door. Cheri
Bedford stated Mr. Truby has completed the application to Main Street Architects
for a design rendering of the fa�ade. Mr. Hunt stated that he proposes we wait for
the Main Street Architects to do the rendering and then come back to the
commission. No action taken.

A. 24 and 26 Clarksville Street — Robert Talley, Code Enforcement
Supervisor, made the report to commissioners. Mr. Talley stated he is
recommending repair of the structure. This structure is tied up in an heir
ship and there has been issues getting the owners all on the same page.
Commissioners discussed all options available by ordinance to preserve
and protect this property.
B. 107 Grand Avenue — Robert Talley stated he has recommended demolition
of this structure. Mr. Talley further stated that he does believe there are
elements of the building that could be saved, however, as a code
enforcement officer his focus is on safety and this building could
potentially be another 301 Bonham with a collapse of the structure into the
street. He believes this is a dangerous structure and represents a potential
hazard to the community. Cheri Bedford, Main Street Manager stated
Lavonne Poteet the owner of the building passed away last year. Ms.
Poteet's heirs Lenita Ray and Michael Poteet have both been in contact
with the City wanting to donate the building to the City. Ms. Bedford
_� 2�
stated she would like the City to take the building and possibly utilize the
facility as a public restroom. However, because of the recent collapse of
part of the roof, she has contacted the National Trust Foundation who has
emergency funds available for a structural assessment for preservation of
buildings in this situation. Ms. Bedford has filed a request with the Trust
for the funds and has contacted Dietz Engineering to get an estimate for a
structural assessment. Ms. Bedford further recommended pulling this
building until the structural assessment can be done to see if the building
can be saved.
C. 260 South Main Street — Robert Talley asked if the commission received
the engineering report regarding the structure. It is my opinion after
seeing the engineering report that this structure is dangerous and he is
recommending demolition of the structure. Commissioners agreed
because of the substantial structural damage this building cannot be
rehabilitated and represents a danger.
Motion was made by Britin Bostick, seconded by Nancy Anderson to pull items A and B
and send item C to the Building and Standards Commission, since it cannot be
rehabilitated. Motion camed 6-0.

Paris sent Dr. Kilgore a violation notice stating he must remove his sign, because it was
advertising a business that was no longer in operation. Mr. Kilgore submitted a letter
requesting the City nominate the L.O. Hammons sign as it has been on the building more
than fifty years and the department store was a well-known business during its time
period. Ms. Scott further stated Dr. Kilgore has the two missing letters and will replace
them. Nancy Anderson asked if the building was to sale, would this nomination keep the
new owner from removing the sign. Ms. Scott stated no it would not, it only protects the
sign from forced removal by the City, and the new owner could remove it if they choose
to. Motion was made by Britin Bostick, seconded by Nancy Anderson to approve the
nomination, subject to the sign being repaired. Ben Vaughan asked what the criteria is
for nominating a historic signs. Paul Denney stated being at least fifty years old qualifies
the sign, not the type of sign. Ben Vaughan asked what is the time limit for the property
owner to repair the sign. Robert Talley stated he would give him another ten days to
repair the sign and would work with the owner if they needed extra time to repair it. If
the owner does not respond then a court case can be filed in municipal court or the City
could remove the sign. Motion carried 7-0.

Paul Denney requested items SS, SU and SX for discussion.
Robert Talley, Code Enforcement Supervisor stated the property owners live across the
street from 618 West Austin (SS) and they agree the house needs to be demolished.
There is a hole in the west roof, all shingles are deteriorating and have fallen inside the
house. Mr. Talley further stated the property owners have asked for 90 days to demolish
the house and that will be his recommendation to Building and Standards.
Robert Talley stated SU has a foundation that is starting to lean and the roof shingles
have deteriorated. There is a lot of water damage on the inside of the house due to a large
whole in the south side roof at the peak. However, it is leaking in several different places
and he feels the roof is in danger of collapsing. The structure is unsecure and there is a
day care located directly across the street from this house and it is dangerous situation.
Mr. Talley further stated he is recommending 30 days to demolish the structure.
Robert Talley stated SX has received at least 20 code complaints on this structure. The
house is unsecure because the door is laying out in the yard. The wiring has been
stripped out the house, and the plumbing has been removed. Code Enforcement has
abated this house on three occasions and they have been unable to contact the property
owners.
Motion was made by Nancy Anderson, seconded by Ben Vaughan to send all structures
to the Building and Standards Commission, since they cannot be rehabilitated nor do they
have significant historical value. Motion carried 7-0.
