Ms. 011ie stated that the house is the Brown House, and is owned by City of
Wylie. The applicant is seeking alternative roofing options to the current cedar
shingle roof, due to major damage sustained to the roof during the April 11,
2016 hail storm.
Mr. Shane Colley, Facility Construction Manager, stated that the current roof
only has the cedar shingles and no plywood decking under the shingle. The
hail storm went directly through the cedar shingles into the attic area, which
contributed to water damage within the building. Alternatives to the cedar
shingle would be a composite roofing material, metal roofing, and a
combination of decking and cedar shingle.
They are having difficulty locating the same roofing materials. The request is
for direction on the type of shingles to use. The Commissioners were in
agreement not to use the Terra Cotta Tiles. The Commissioners requested
visual of type of product and recommended slate, copper or metal roof with
decking underneath.
Board Action
A motion was made by Commissioner Wakefield, and seconded by
Commissioner Park, to table the amendments to allow time for Mr. Colley to
decide on which roofing material either slate, copper or metal. Motion carried
6—0.
Item 3—100 N Ballard Avenue
Consider and act upon renovations to exchange window and door for a
commercial structure located at 100 N Ballard Avenue.
Staff Presentation
Ms. 011ie stated that the applicant is proposing to renovate the façade. The use
is a TCBY ice cream store, located at 100 N Ballard Avenue. The exterior of
the subject structure will be modified only by the relocation of the primary
entry door and the windows facing Ballard. The door will be moved three feet
south and the window will be moved three feet north.
Board Discussion
Mr. Sam Taylor, 100 S Jackson, applicant for the subject property stated that
tenant has prototype floor plan for serving ice cream. The current location of
the door does not allow space for a counter, in which to serve the ice cream.
The same style door and window will be the same as currently, just moved
three feet.
The Commissioners expressed the concern of changing the door and window,
being a significant change to the building.

Commissioner Heath stated in favor of moving the door, but expressed
concern on keeping the same brick. Mr. Taylor stated that the Downtown
Historic invited the smaller businesses to open up.
Commissioner Wakefield stated that moving the door would change the
significance of the building, and recommended having entry access off Oak
Street. Commissioner Waterman recommended asking the tenant to revise
their floor plan to fit the current door location.
Board Action
A motion was made by Commissioner Heath, and seconded by Commissioner
Pugh, to approve the second elevation plan for property located 100 N Ballard
Avenue. Motion failed 3 —3. Ms. 011ie stated that the applicant may appeal to
the City Council.
Item 4— 100 N Ballard Avenue
Consider and act upon modifications to approved plans to include a balcony to a
2,825 square foot commercial structure located at 129 N Ballard, for Wylie
Flower Shop.
Staff Presentation
Ms. 011ie stated that the applicant recently received approval to begin
renovations of an existing 2,825 square foot commercial structure for the
purpose of creating new lease space and two upstairs dwelling units.
The architect informed the applicant that the previously approved plans for
patio on the second floor would require steel beams to the interior of the
flower shop. This is not feasible option.
The applicant is requesting a modification to construct a walkway and awning
that will extend from the side of 131 N Ballard and wrap around to the front of
129 N Ballard.
Board Discussion
Ms. Wells, 129 N Ballard, applicant for the subject property, stated that the
beams will be free-standing on each side of the walkway. The door will be on
the north instead of the south, as approved previously, due to walkway.
Commissioners recommended Gothic Arch Railing with ironwork cap and
vases. The windows will be eleven feet on the bottom floor, and the bricks
will be used to fill in for the second floor development.
Commissioner Wakefield questioned the lights. Ms. Wells asked for
preference. Commissioner Wakefield recommended 1900 or turn of the
century style lights.

Board Action
A motion was made by Commissioner Waterman, and seconded by
Commissioner Wakefield, to approve the modifications with stipulation of
Diamond Gothic Arch style railings, porch support posts with cap and vases,
allow black metal awning, the exterior lightening to be 1900's or turn of
century style, and keep the eyebrow arches over the doors on the second floor.
Motion carried 6—O.
Commissioner Pugh questioned the reasoning for approving the balcony,
changing the whole elevation but not approving moving a door three feet.
Commissioner Wakefield stated that the style of the historic buildings allow the
balcony. Chairman Lewis stated that moving the door would change the whole
look of the building from an architectural stand point. The location of the door
may work for a tenant, and not work for the next tenant.

A motion was made by Commissioner Wakefield, seconded by Commissioner Park to
adjourn the meeting at 8:14pm. All Commissioners were in consensus.
