MOTION: A motion was made by Member Honn and seconded by Member Dornberg to approve the minutes with a change to item 3. The vote shows 0-0 and should read 4-0.MOTION carried, 3-0Dr. Matthew Linaker reviewed his request to remove a piece of art from the front of his building. Dr. Linaker stated he was not satisfied with the finished product and expressed concern to the artist that the art piece was not what was presented to him. He stated he had immediate concern for the inferior quality of the art piece and the potential for vandalism because of the vulnerability of the tail section of the piece. Matthew Moutafis, OV resident, stated most of the information in Dr. Linakers letter is inflammatory and not correct.
Matthew Moutafis, artist of the piece in question, showed a picture of the art piece that was taken by a professional photographer.
Member Suchland responded that if a rendering of the piece shown in the picture would have been brought before the PARC she does not believe that the art piece would have been approved because of the vulnerability of the tail. In addition, the rendering submitted to the PARC was approved on the basis of the drawing, but is not what ended up being.
Dr. Linnaker stated he would donate the art piece to the Town of Oro Valley and requested the piece removed. He stated he was willing to have another art piece commissioned by a different artist and locate it in his office.
Staff requested Dr. Linaker write a letter to the Planning and Zoning Director for direction.
The applicant and the PARC committee agree to locate the art pieces inside the gates of the establishment.
