HomeMy WebLinkAboutDebra and SherriDebra and Sherri,
Page Wilson filed an application for the DRC on Friday afternoon on the structure at 1001 McMath. He
submitted all of the required documents. I will notify the committee that they will be meeting on Friday,
June 22 at 2:00 pm upstairs in our main conference room.
Within the application, on page three, there is the “Design Review Committee Comment Sheet”. Since
he is just asking about the siding on an existing building, in my opinion some of the design factors do not
apply. For example: 1 – Siting, 2 – Height, 3 – Proportion, 4 – Rhythm, 5 - Scale, 6 – Massing, 7 –
Entrance Area, 9 – Roof Areas, and 11 - Detailing. I think that 8 – Wall areas and 10 – Façade are the
most applicable factors. He received approval for the building at the HDC and the only factor is the
siding that he installed without HDC approval. Therefore, I think they should only discuss the factors
that relate to the siding. I will ask you two to verify my thoughts on the Design Factors that are not
relevant to the discussion.
I will be out of the office that day of the meeting. Walter has agreed to sit in on the meeting for me. I
will advise him on the statement that is to be read at the first of the meeting (all of page two in the
application). Will one of you make a statement that only certain design factors will be discussed in the
meeting (assuming that you agree with my premise)?
Debra, at the first DRC meeting for 407 E Daisy Bates, the application stated the property owner, the
designer/contractor and other representative. Everybody that attended the meeting was listed on the
application. On 1001 McMath, the only name listed is “William Wilson” as property owner. On the
Designer/contractor space, he put “same as above”. What will we do if he shows up with an entourage?
In the new Guidelines, I am sure he will reference page 49 Exceptions under Façade:
It states: The HDC, strictly on a case by case basis, will consider materials generally deemed appropriate
if:
There is sufficient evidence to show another more appropriate material would not satisfy code
requirements;
There is sufficient evidence to show the material being proposed is superior in durability and longevity
to more appropriate materials.
You also may wish to inform him that Sheri is no longer representing us on the case. I don’t want him to
feel that he is being ganged-up upon, but also that we are doing anything wrong either.
I believe that it will be difficult to hold him to 30 minutes. We were pretty good at holding the last one
to thirty minutes though we started late.
