2. Conceptual Review: 0V5-09-03, Golder Ranch Fire District, represented
by Matthew Moutafis, requests review of a conceptual public art proposal
for the Golder Ranch Fire Station located at the Oracle Vista Centre, at the
northwest corner of Oracle Road and Linda Vista Blvd. If you have any
questions about this matter, please contact Matt Michels, Senior Planner, at
(520) 229-4822 or mmichels@orovalleyaz.gov
Member Moutafis moved from the dais and presented the proposal as the
applicant.
Matt Michels, OV Senior Planner, presented the staff report.
Member Cywan asked if it is within the purview of the ARC to question the large
budget of this art piece because some of the money being used is tax dollars.
Matthew Moutafis, artist, answered that the Golder Ranch Fire
Department (GRED) wanted a statue that was maintenance free and that would
last forever. They wanted something different than a mosaic.
Mr. Moutafis stated there are always problems with mosaic because of
ultraviolet light, the weather and the heat.
Matt Moutafis, artist, presented the proposal.
-GRFD seal will be a tile mosaic overlay
-Verbiage will be engraved in the base
-Oro Valley Hero will not appear anywhere on the piece
Matthew Moutafis will provide the following at the next meeting:
-Copy of the GRFD logo
-Building elevations
-GRFD representatives
Vice Chair Honn stated concern that people wont see the art because it is set far
back and doesn't believe it will be visible to the public.
MOTION: A motion was made by Vice Chair Honn and seconded by Member
Fowler to approve the conceptual plan with the request that we see a clear
drawing of the mosaic, including colors, the building elevations and a better
site plan that shows the location of the proposed art surroundings.
MOTION carried, 6-0.
3. Discussion regarding ARC bylaws and Zoning Code.
