This project will provide new retail and residential opportunities for Georgetown and continue the development patterns outlined in the 2013 Downtown Master Plan. The Master Plan identifies the blocks surrounding the property as an important opportunity area, utilizing the existing development as an anchor to draw new projects to the district. The upcoming sale and redevelopment of the historic US Post Office, currently utilized as the City of Georgetown municipal offices, provide a great opportunity for private investment to enhance the east side of the district. The project requires the demolition of an existing accessory structure on the site. The primary structure was heavily damaged by fire in 2016 and previously demolished. The existing structure is identified as a Low Priority historic structure on the 2016 Historic Resource Survey. The wood frame structure was constructed ca 1930, and has been heavily modified over time. Rehabilitation of the structure would require replacing many of the original materials, removing the historic fabric of the structure. The structure does not possess any significant architectural features, nor does it represent the work of a specific architect or craftsman. The exterior cladding consists of cementitious fiber siding, and modern metal garage doors. In addition, the structure is wired with a Federal Pacific breaker box, which are prone to arcing and failure. The attached photos document the current condition of the structure, including the deterioration of existing materials and the lack of character defining features. The proposed project complies with the Unified Development Code, and the Downtown and Old Town Design Guidelines, and creates a mixed-use project as envisioned by the Downtown Master Plan. Thank you for your service to the City of Georgetown. We look forward to your approval and the completion of this project.

The proposal calls for the demolition of an existing garage on the property. The request is permission for demolition of the existing garage structure with the following considerations: 1) The existing garage is not in compliance with current City setback requirements per the UDC: It is currently less than 8’ from the property line, whereas current requirements are 20’. See page 2 below. While the existing structure is ‘grandfathered’, it currently sticks out farther than all the other buildings on the street. Furthermore, it would need to be completely rebuilt to satisfy current construction standards (for structure itself, and also sheathing and waterproofing). Also see page 6 for existing photos. 2) The existing ‘driveway’ area is 94’ long. If paved, this driveway would require over 1000SF of concrete area. Furthermore, it intersects the corner of Hutto and 14th. This not only awkward, it creates an impossible U-turn entry to access the drive from 14th Street. See page 3 below. 3) Several options were considered before fully designing the garage in the proposed location on page 4 and 5. One option was rotating the entry to the garage to 14th Street in the same location. However, the client wanted to save the existing tree. Such an alteration would also then trigger the 20’ UDC setback. We believe the proposed garage location (page 4 and 5 below) satisfies the concerns listed above and furthers the goals of the UDC, whereas the existing structure does not. Thank you for your time and consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any additional information.
