Staff Planner Molly Hitchcock stated that the project was approved many years ago and received money from the City of College Station via a deferred forgivable loan through the Facade Improvement Committee (FIC). Mr. Ganter presented his proposed facade changes to the FIC and was approved. Ms. Hitchcock stated that what the PRC approves today will affect the status of that loan. Ms. Hitchcock stated that the applicant wants to change the current columns and open porch, to square columns with windows. The applicant also expressed that he wanted to make holes underneath the walls between the columns for ventilation. R: \HTLTR \PZLTR \PROD \PZ2002 \P0006997. DOC Mr. Randy Brumley, Community Development Administrator, discussed the proceedings at the FIC meeting held on October 24. The project was approved for FIC funding which consists of matching the funds the applicant puts into the project. Mr. Brumley stated that the applicant has completed the facade improvements. Since then, the applicant has asked to enclose a portion of the porch. In order to receive the federal funds, the applicant has to execute the facade improvement program agreement with the city. Because the lend period is still in place, the applicant is required to come before the FIC and the PRC for approval of any modifications to the previous improvements. Mr. Ganter came before the FIC on October 24, 2002 and at that time the committee made the recommendation to approve the improvements with some requirements. The requirements included: (1) the applicant must present working construction drawings prior to the building permit being issued; (2) any substantial changes must be brought before the FIC and the PRC; (3) to comply with the signage ordinance; Mr. Eric Barton, Housing Programs Coordinator stated that Mr. Ganter is aware of the requirements and did not have any objections. Commissioner Hall motioned to approve the construction as presented by the rendering with the following requirements: (1) applicant observe the concerns with the building permit as listed above; (2) applicant not be allowed to expand or alter any additional portions of the building without returning to the FIC for review; (3) applicant be aware of the signage ordinance of the Northgate area as it relates to this modification. Commissioner White seconded the motion. Mr. Brumley recommended amending the motion to include that the project return to the PRC for any expansions or alterations. Commissioner Hall modified his motion to include the PRC to also review any alterations or modifications. Commissioner White seconded, the motion passed 3 -0.

DOC 1 v )zt'fOV Inter - Committee October 25, 2002 MEMORANDUM Facade Improvement Program Advisory Committee To: Project Review Committee From: Eric Barton Staff Liaison to Facade Improvement Program (FIP) Committee RE: Proposed Renovations to Satchel's Restaurant (301 Boyett) Please be advised that the FIP Committee recently reviewed the proposed renovations of Satchel's as required in previously executed FIP contract documents. Previously, the owner of the subject property applied to the City and received matching federal funds to assist in the earlier renovations. In exchange for those funds, the owner agreed to comply with a variety of program lien requirements, one of which was to maintain the property and not make changes to the earlier improvements without first gaining FIP Committee approval. The owner presented his renovation plans to the FIP Committee on 10/24/02, and the Committee approved that proposal as presented (see attached minutes). Please note that while the FIP Committee approved the proposal, they did so with the requirements that: (1) renovations be completed as presented in the attached architectural image; (2) any changes to the proposal be brought back to the committees for subsequent review; (3) the owner be reminded of signage ordinances and be required to comply with those prior to a Building Permit being issued, and finally; (4) that Planning Staff recommend to the PRC that any motion for approval contain language that requires the owner to present staff with construction drawings that will result in improvements as presented in the attached proposal prior to a Building Permit being issued. I hope this infoiination is helpful to you in your review of the subject proposal. If you have questions, or need additional information related to the FIP review, please don't hesitate to contact me at (979) 764 -3778.

Introductions Mr. Barton introduced Molly Hitchcock as the designee for Jane Kee in her absence. Mr. Barton told the committee that he would be sitting in as designee for Randy Brumley in his absence. II. Consideration of Absence Requests There were no absentee requests available to be considered. III. Review of Minutes from October 10, 2002 FIP Meeting The minutes from the previous FIP Advisory Committee meeting were reviewed and Ms. Kasper made a motion that the minutes be accepted as printed. Mr. Lancaster seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously. IV. Consideration and Discussion of Alterations to a Previous FIP Project (Satchels) Mr. Lemons asked Mr. Barton to update the committee on the progress of the Satchels building since the last meeting. Mr. Barton informed the committee that Mr. Ganter had acquired the services of Arkitex Studios to produce computer generated renderings of the proposed Satchels porch enclosure. Mr. Barton displayed four renderings to the committee that Mr. Ganter recently submitted to Development Services for PRC review. Mr. Barton told the committee that the rendering submitted for their approval was Mr. Ganter's choice selection. There was brief discussion by the committee on the changes in the facade observed in the computer generated rendering, from the renderings the committee had observed in the October 10, 2002 meeting with Mr. Ganter present. Mr. Barton explained to the committee that from his conversations with Charlie Burris from Arkitex Studios, Mr. Ganter seemed to be very amenable to the current proposed "look" for his building. Ms. George interjected that when Mr. Ganter submitted the new computer generated renderings to Development Services, he mentioned that he would like to extend the porch footprint when he enclosed the porch. There was dissension from many members of the committee to allow the expansion of the footprint, without Mr. Ganter first submitting the proposed rendering of the expansion to the committee, since the expansion would most likely include a change in roof design and other possible facade changes. Ms. Kasper made a motion, to recommend to the PRC, that Mr. Ganter be allowed to make the proposed alterations to his building as illustrated in the rendering submitted for the committee's review. Mr. Barton added that the PRC should stipulate working drawings be submitted to the Building Inspections Department resulting in a finished product "look" to match the current rendering, prior to construction z its being issued. Mr. Mosley seconded the motion. Dr. Miranda amended the motion to state that M??.'Ganter not be allow-, to expand or alter any additional portion of the building without returning to the FIP committee for revie �)I evelopment Services staff asked the committee if they could add language in their recommendation that Mr. Ganter be made aware of the signage ordinance of the Northgate area and cease the violation of those ordinances. It was brought to the committee's attention that Mr. Ganter had been placing large banners around his building advertising his business and other events, which is in violation of the Northgate signage ordinances. Mr. Lemons called for a vote to the motion and second as amended and the motion passed unanimously. V. Adjourn The meeting adjourned at approximately 8:55 AM.
