Regular Agenda
Call to Order and Announce a Quorum is Present
With a quorum of the Committee members present, Bo Bass called the meeting to order at 8:22
a.m. in the Council Conference Room at Allen City Hall, 305 Century Parkway.
Action Items:
Agenda Item A: Approve Minutes from September 9, 2008.
Motion: Upon a motion by Bret McCullough and a second by Shelli Siemer, the
Committee voted 5 IN FAVOR and 1 OPPOSED, to approve the minutes.
The motion carried.
Agenda Item B: Patio Cover at 103 W. Belmont Drive
Lee Battle, Assistant Director of Planning and Development, presented the project to the
Committee. The building is known as the Belmont Restaurant. Currently, a Pilates studio is
operating in the back of the building. Nothing is going on in the main section of the building.
The project consists of adding a patio cover to the existing rear deck. The applicant states that
the deck will not be enclosed. Therefore this project is not considered an expansion.
Concerns were raised about the existing renovations not fitting the original architecture. Adding
the patio cover may continue the inconsistency in architectural style.
Motion: Upon a motion by John Baumgartner and a second by Paula Ross, the
Committee voted 6 IN FAVOR and 0 OPPOSED, to approve the project
subject to:
Changing the window on the east side of the building to a double hung
window; to compliment the windows of the original house.
Constructing a gabled porch over the door on the east side of the
building.
Columns and railings of patio enclosure must replicate those on the
original house.
Columns and railings of patio enclosure shall be painted to match the
remainder of the existing trim.
The patio extension shall not be enclosed in either a temporary or
permanent fashion.
The motion carried.
