siding 0tardiboard) from the masonry content of exterior walls for development in the SH
121 Gateway Overlay District
Mr. Persaud gave a report on the content of hardiboard/hardiplank (fibrocement). He explained
that according to our SH 121 Gateway Overlay standards, this type of product is not allowed for exterior
surfaces. Mike McDaniel, the owner of Golden Corral addressed the council, stating that he understands
why the city wants to maintain the attractive entrance to the city by enforcing the 121 standards. He said
Golden Corral Corp. has adopted hardiboard as a standard and that he believes he has met all the
standards of the city. He said hardiboard is 100% cement. He asked the council to permit him to use the
hardiboard, which would allow him to open in 3 weeks. He said using EFIS instead of hardiboard would
cost an additional $40,000.
Councilmember Kovatch asked if the definition of masonry is the same in the ordinance as it is in
the guidelines. Mr. Persaud explained they are the same and that Mr. McDaniel did not comply with the
ordinance. Councilmember Kovatch pointed out that the description of hardiboard says it is flammable
and that a flammable material would not be considered masonry.
Mr. Gordon Hikel, city attorney, cautioned the council about waiving the requirement for one --
project, advising it could cause problems for future development. Councilmember Stanwick suggested
that the ordinance be re-written so it covers all products w/th a specific list of acceptable materials. Mr.
Cheatham advised staff will bring this back in ordinance form. Mr. Cheatham stated that staff understands

the council's direction that hardiboard is not to be included in the list (of acceptable materials). Mr.
