Number of occupants. In response to a q stion by North, Gawlik replied that he though forty to fifty or sixty to seventy occupants might be in the building at one time. Front Elevation.

In answer to Spears,Mr. Gawlik stated that the color of tie roof shingles on the chicken section would be yellow. A discussion of the color followed. Mr. Gawlik maintained that yellow was required, that we did not want a business that would not succeed. The consensus of the majority of the Commission was m-p in favor of a brightyellow roof. Raney referred to the Heimsath report and asked Mr. GAwlik to help the Commission in regard to this. Later in the evening a mustard yellow was FPZC-1,1-3-14-74 2 suggested, but Mr. Gawlik stated that a mustard color is one of the worst colors to stand up under the sun. Landscaping. North asked about landscaping the front of the building. Mr. Gawlik said that people needed to see the front of the building for the business for it to be successful. Phillips thought that there would be problem with planting in the City -Right -of -Way. Sidewalk. Fossler showed Mr. Gawlik the four foot sidewalk on t e�Biscamp building plan. This sidewalk is two feet off the property line on the City right-of-way. Mr. Gawlik thought that one foot was more usual. Curb radii. There was some discussion as to whether we preferred the driveway entrance design as suggested by Mr, Gawlik or the ten foot constant radius. We decided we needed to talk with our Planning Consultant. Wall Color. In answer to Raney's query, Mr. Gawlik stated that the wall co or would be white. Sign. Raney suggested that a low level sign such as used in the "Agena Building" in Clear Lake City would present a good appearance. Mr. Gawlik thought this would be fine if it could be put forward on the City right-bf-way. Shore felt that the sign should be an integral part of the building. He would like to see the design before we vote. Mr. GAwlik said that the proposed sign is a thirty inch version of the Pearland sign. Roof Line. Mr. Fossler expressed concern about the plans for the rest of the roof line. Survey. The Secretary noted that a survey was needed. Sidewalk. Mr. Gawlik suggestdd strongly that the City require reinforcement in the sidewalks which we require. Planning Consultant Atkinson stated that the sidewalk should be laid where it will be even with driveway entrances without a step. Fill. North asked if fill would be used. Mr. Gawlik replied that the building would be built up above grade. Color. Mr. GAwlik stated that it was felt that another store was losing money because it did not have the right color. Consensus. The following items were "rediined" on the plans. (1) Survey needed. (2) Sidewalks on F. M. 518 and Shadowbend. (3) Signs to be shown. (4) Colors. Mr. GAwlik will return, with modifications as above. 3 FPZC-M-3-14-74 Building Permits (continued) Lobella Gym The Lobella information request was presented for comment.
