Meeting was held at the museum.
Meeting was called to order at 5:30 PM.
The Chairman explained the meeting had been called to discuss
phase 2 of the building project and design changes suggested by
members of the Sanford Historical Society at their September
meeting.
The Chairman gave the floor to the members of a committee
representing the Sanford Historical Society. The committee
indicated their strong dislike for the proposed southern facade
of the building addition. It was suggested the Columns and
pediment of the existing portico be retained. Also the committee
favored the use of brick or a combination of brick and stucco on
the building exterior. A suggestion was also made to incorporate
a frieze or cornice on the exterior. A slight reduction in
square footage was recommended as a means of freeing up funds for
exterior detail.
There was much discussion about what constitutes good
architecture, architects, and the working relationship between
architect and client.
The City Manager expressed regret that the committee's
suggestions had not been available earlier in the week so the
architect could respond with alternative designs. He further
explained details of the contract with the architect and possible
•
approaches from this point on.

The Chairman thanked the committee for its ideas and asked the
advisory board members for their thoughts. The Chairman also
explained that the main interest of the board had all along been
to obtain the maximum amount of floor space for the money
available.
The Chairman asked for the board members' confirmation that they
were still comfortable with phase 1 as previously approved in
August.
Motion: Myra Bales moved the floor plan for phase 1 remain as
originally approved but that if additional money can be found for
changes to the exterior, they be considered. Motion seconded and
carried with one dissenting vote.
The Chairman asked for the board's input on the suggestions made
by the Sanford Historical Society committee relative to phase 2
of the building project.
Motion: Myra Bales moved the plans for phase 2 be accepted as is
with the understanding that the board will consider any
• recommendations for exterior changes desired by the City
Commission with the provision that such changes not reduce the
phase 2 floor plan as is. Motion seconded and carried by
unanimous vote.
There being no further discussion, meeting was adjourned at 6:30
PM.
