The Council and Staff then reviewed the agenda for the City Council meeting of October
23, 2001.
Matthew Tsakanikas presented information on Ordinance No. 01-3306, an Ordinance
amending the zoning map of the City of Plainview, Texas for designating a portion of the
Central Business District as Design Historic Overlay, Plainview, Texas, cumulativeness
clause; conflicts clause; and effective date. He stated that an ordinance is in place at the
present time, but no one had ever applied the ordinance. This ordinance would apply to
the National Registry District and would only apply to the fa(;ade of the building. Before
any work could be performed, a certificate of appropriateness would have to be acquired.
Out of the several letters sent out, 18 responses were received. 15 were for the
ordinance and 3 were against. One of the individuals that was against changed his mind
after attending the meeting and receiving clarification. Mike McCarthy, President of Gebo
Distributing Co., Inc. expressed his opposition to the ordinance. He had recently had his
property declared part of the federally certified historic rehabilitation program and felt that
he had stringent requirements to meet with the federal and state government that should
go over and above the City requirements. Councilmember McGehee suggested that an
exception be made for anyone in this program. Mr. Tsakanikas stated he would visit with
Mr. McCarthy and explain such to him.
Mayor McGehee adjourned the meeting at 12:39 p.m.
