II. III. IV. 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. Consideration of Absence ReQuests There were no absentee requests available to be considered. Review of Minutes from October 10, 2002 FIP Meetim! The minutes from the previous PIP 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. 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 façade 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 façade 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 permits being issued. Mr. Mosley seconded the motion. Dr. Miranda amended the motion to state that Mr. Ganter not be allowed to expand or alter any additional portion of the building without returning to the PIP committee for review. Development 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.
