Mr. Rogers said the trash area will be enclosed. The
outside ma te_I_i.als on the building will be metal veneer,
texture 111, grooved.
Mr. Keith Johnsc,:a, Humble, Oil District Engineer, advised the
Commission in detail about the b,,.il.ding tr,.ate,rials
Comm. Horgan asked if there would be any tire .racks out in
fron.t . He was told there would not . .
The question came up whether the F-Lue Mar.sha:il had approved
the roof materials.* This, must be -taI,,.E;n, care of..
Gomm. Fitch said, "Th.ere will be an extreme amount of competi-
tion on these corners so we are trying to get as much as
possible for the city, aesthetically, which, in turn, will
help.your business. This rendering is almost Spartan by
comparison to the original submission.''
Mr.. Rogers said the off --site improvements are going to rin.
.about $10,o00, which cuts considerably into the overall expense„
Comm.. Horgan .felt there was no real imagination in this
offering. He.felt they had cut back to zero. Mr. Rogers said
that troughout the State, the average cost of their stations
runs $55,000,
Comm. Fitch said he is not overly impressed with the station
at Homestead and Stelling. Mr. Rogers said the color scheme
here would be different --• muted tones of brown, green, and
beige.
Mr. Bandley wants to have this station compatible with the
plans for the rest of 'the 8 acres. He felt a the roof here
would not be compatible.
Mr. Johnson. said the addition of a canopy would run the cost
up another $3000 to $5000. Comm. Fitch felt a canopy would
help remove some of the s ;,�.rkness of the station. Mr. Rogers
offered to increase the planting area to that on the original
drawings. Mr. Johnson added that perhaps some exposed aggre-
gate rock pots with shrubs would help in the front. Another
suggestion by them was planting around the :periphery of the
building, either on the inside.or outside" of the sidewalk;
preferrably on the outside of the sidewalk because then the
sidewalk would. still be protected by the overhang. and it would
be better for the plants to be outside.
Comm. Horgan asked the name of the man Messrs. Rogers and
Johnson report to. They said it was their District Manager,
Mr. Bill La c kr un .
Chairman Small suggested that if the applicants must go back
to their District Manager before 'they can OK any major changes
® here, perhaps the Commission could call a special meeting on
Friday night or Saturday morning in order that it could still
get to the Council meeting Monday night, either with the H-
Contro l approval, or to appeal the denial, and thereby meeting
their March 1.5th deadline. We would also have the Fire Marshall's
report on the roof t:aterials by that time.
