FACADE REQUIREMENTS, AT 2911 E. BROADWAY
Ronald Plackemeier was present, along with Jack McGuff, Architect. Mr. McGuff presented
drawings to the board members. Mr. Plackemeier indicated that he wants to add a 25' x 40'
covered enclosed deck to the existing building for outside dining and occasional entertainment.
However; any expansion to a commercial building requires the facade ordinance to be met and
he would have to replace the facade on the entire building which would cause the facility to lose
its country style appearance.
Discussion took place regarding additional parking and the type of entertainment and noise level
at the establishment.
Board Member Gil Boyles made a motion, seconded by Board Member Calvin Collier to approve
V97-26.
Motion passed 5-0.

After discussion of the agenda item between Mr. Huber, Don Guynes and the board members,

suggest that the vote be reconsidered because of the confusion.
