8. Discussion and possible action on the roof tiles on Dos Salsas restaurant.
Rowe reported the roof tiles used on the restaurant are not consistent with what was
approved through HARC. “Spanish style clay roofing” is what was reviewed, approved and
to be installed. Mr. Martinez, the owner, explained that he had no intent to go against HARC
rulings, but real clay tiles would have been too heavy and would have taken three months to
install. He stated it was all a miscommunication on both sides. He will ensure he comes
through HARC for any future changes from now on. New doors were discussed and Mr
Martinez said the doors will be stained not painted.
Motion by Commissioner Truehardt to approve the imitation clay tiles and the stained doors.
Second by Commissioner Easley. Motion approved 7-0
Meeting adjourned at 7:10 p.m.
Approved: Attest:
