The meeting convened at 9:10 a.m. in the Board Room of the
Community Center, 28816 Pujol Street.
The McCuskers of Kids World presented a letter requesting
elimination of the requirement for a lattice along the north
end of their modular building facing on Third Street. Their
reason for the request involved safety of children playing in
the area. A copy of McCusker's letter along with one from
Larry Markham are attached to these minutes for the record.
While the Board felt the request was reasonable on the
surface, it was decided to physically look at the situation~
immediately following this meeting, before reaching any
conclusions. This was done after the meeting adjourned and
it was the consensus of the Board that the lattice could be
eliminated without any detriment to the appearance of the
facility. It was noted that all other requirements had been
implemented and the whole area looked much better.
1. Minutes of the July 20~ 1992 meeting were approved with
Harker abstaining.
Board approved a proposed sign request from Nana's to be
painted on wood per rendering shown to the Board provided
it conforms to the percentage of building surface allowed
under the existing sign ordinance.
3. Fagan g ave a review report on the following projects:
a)
The facade on the building being renovated for the
Sr. Citizens facility will be braced. There seems
to be no problem with the proposed color to be used
and there will be a meeting on this project in the
City Hall at 4 p.m. on August 12, 1992. Plans for
the building which the Board has approved can be
seen at the City Hall. Bids will be going out on
the 14th of this month with construction to begin in
the third week of September and completion targeted
for Christmas.

e)
With respect to the porch facing Front Street on the
building across from the Swing Inn, the owner will
have something in by the end of this week on what
they plan to do. Morris has prepared a sketch of a
suggested design that would be very functional and
improve the appearance of the building.
The Sherman Williams Paint Co. color chip brochure
depicting colors used during the Victorian period was
shown by Fagan and efforts will be made to either get
additional copies or have color copies made for use bay
the Board.
Fagan reported that a second order for the books on
historic preservation has been placed and that he has
been advised they are now enroute to Temecula.
A Board discussion took place at the request of Grina to
clarify the role of the alternate Board member. It was
decided that if any Board member knows in advance they
will be unable to attend a meeting they should let her
know so she can represent them. In any event she should
always be present to insure a quorum if two or more of
the members are absent.
There being no further business to come before the Board the
meeting was adjourned at 9:40 a.m. and the Board departed for
a look at Kids World and a short one block tour of Old Town.
NEXT MEETING WILL BE AT 9:00 A.M. ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14,
