Page 4 of 90
Historic and Architectural Review Commission Page 2 of 5
Meeting: November 11, 2021
description Lot 8, Block 5, Eubank Addition. (2021-59-COA) – Britin Bostick, Downtown &
Historic Planner
Staff report by Bostick. The applicant is requesting HARC approval of a front porch addition
that would be 8’ deep and extend the width of the residence, which is approximately 30’. The
existing front porch would be filled in to create additional living space, with the existing wood
windows moved to the new exterior wall and the front door centered in the new façade rather
than facing the side. The new porch would have a shed roof with a 3:12 slope and use standing
seam metal for the roof material. The new porch posts would have brackets to support the roof.
The shutters and planter boxes under the windows are not historic and were added after 1984
and are proposed to be replaced with new shutters.The applicant is also requesting HARC
approval of a rear addition 14’ deep and the width of the structure, with the rear windows and
door to be moved to the new rear façade. The non-historic carports are proposed to be removed
and a 20’ breezeway is proposed to be constructed between the rear of the house and the
existing garage. A small porch with standing seam shed roof would be part of the rear addition.
As the proposed project includes additions to the front and rear of the structure and the current
siding is vinyl, the applicant proposes to replace the vinyl siding with lapped fiber cement
siding with a 7” reveal. Both the front and rear additions would retain the existing roof form
and pitch. The proposed living space additions total approximately 510 sq. ft., and the proposed
porch is approximately 240 sq. ft.
Chair Walton opened the Public Hearing.
Elaine Sebald, 1810 Eubank, supports the project.
Chair Walton closed the Public Hearing.
Motion to approve Item E (2021-59-COA) by Commissioner Morales. Second Romero.
Approved 6-0.
C. Continued from the October 14, 2021 regular meeting: Public Hearing and Possible Action on a
request for a Certificate of Appropriateness for the demolition of a high priority structure at
the property located at 309 Walnut Street, bearing the legal description 0.551 acres in Block 5,
Shell Addition. – Britin Bostick, Downtown & Historic Planner
Staff report by Bostick. The Applicant is requesting HARC approval for the demolition of a high
priority structure in the Old Town Overlay District. The Shell family is known to have been one
of the first families in Georgetown, and the subject structure was constructed for the second
generation of the family on property that was owned or occupied as a homestead by the Shell
family for approximately 115 years and four generations. Records indicate that the original
portion of the house may have been constructed as early as 1885, and the house retains a large
portion of historic materials, characteristics and features that are either original to the house or
that were added early in its history, on both the exterior and interior, as many of the interior
materials including floors, doors, transoms, and hardware are still intact. Although the
Page 5 of 90
Historic and Architectural Review Commission Page 3 of 5
Meeting: November 11, 2021
foundation requires maintenance and additional support structure and exterior elements need
repair, the structure is in sufficiently sound condition that there is no clear loss of significance or
decay of the structure sufficient to warrant a demolition, particularly given the structure can
feasibly be rehabilitated with interior changes and/or living space additions.
The Commission does not have the option to postpone a decision on this item.
The applicant, Gary Wong, addressed the Commission and explained the request for this
property.
The property owner, Ken Schiller, also addressed the Commission and further explained the
request. He also invited David Stegman, a license mold assessment consultant, to review the
structure and discussed mold remediation for this property , and assessment made.
Chair Walton opened the Public Hearing.
Bostick read into the record additional comments received after agenda posting.
Dana Hendrix, 809 East 4th Street, commented that her house had the same types of problems
the subject property has but those problems were corrected. She also stated that the mold issue
is not part of the criteria for a demolition.
Larry Olson, E 9th, commented that he looked at the subject property, and the house looks like it
is in good shape. Certain areas need to be repaired, and he has experience repairing homes in
this condition. The house needs good restoration not demolition. Recommends denial of the
demolition request.
Christi Cowden, 116 Lockett Rd, former owner of 2 historic homes, similar to the subject
property. She is against demolition.
Glenn Holder, 1508 Vine St, commented that the house should not be demolished; windows
should be fixed and mold remediated.
John Lawton, 1103 Elm St, works a contractor restoring historic homes. He commented on the
problems discussed with the subject property, and that they can be fixed.
Ronald Weaver, 1221 S Main, gave his 3 minutes to Liz Weaver.
Liz Weaver, 1221 S Main, is opposed to the demolition of the property. She has also purchased a
historic home which needed similar restoration to the subject property, but it was done.
Leonard Van Gendt, 502 S Walnut St, is also opposed to the demolition.

D. Continued from the October 28, 2021 regular meeting: Public Hearing and Possible Action on a
request for a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for: residential infill construction; a 3’-0”
setback encroachment into the required 15’-0” side street setback for the construction of a
residential structure 12’-0” from the side street (east) property line; a 13’-0” setback
encroachment into the required 25’-0” street-facing garage setback for the construction of an
attached garage 12’-0” from the side street (east) property line; a 0.03 floor-to-area ratio (FAR)
modification to the 0.45 floor-to-area ratio for the Old Town Overlay District, to allow a floor-to-
area ratio of 0.48 at the property located at 1404 E. 16th Street, bearing the legal description Lot
2A, Block 3, Nolen Addition. (2021-55-COA) – Britin Bostick, Downtown & Historic Planner
Staff report by Bostick. In the public hearing on October 28, 2021 the applicant requested HARC
approval of a new two-story, single-family residence with attached two car garage facing the
side street. The proposed design included a partial second story over the rear of the structure
and above the side-facing garage. The footprint was proposed to be 3,182 sq. ft. with a 783 sq. ft.
second floor for a total of 3,965 sq. ft. Following the public hearing and a postponement of the
item to the November 11, 2021 meeting to allow the applicant time to revise the design of the
proposed new structure, the applicant has removed the second floor portion from the design
and the revised plans include a house with a concrete foundation, typical wood framing, black
composition shingle roof, and a combination of brick and board and batten siding painted a
shade of white. The proposed structure has the same gable and hip roofs and an asymmetrical
façade as the initial proposal, with the exception of the removal of the second floor. With the
second floor removed from the plans, the structure no longer requires approval of a building
height modification discussed in the conceptual review of the application on October 14, 2021,
or the floor-to-area (FAR) modification discussed in the public hearing on October 28, 2021. The
structure is now proposed to be 3,075 sq. ft. for a floor-to-area ratio (FAR) of 0.37, within the
0.45 maximum. With the front porch and driveway, the impervious cover is proposed to be 0.43,
within the 0.45 maximum.
The applicant addressed the Commission and was available to answer questions.
Chair Walton opened the Public Hearing.
Matthew Dola, 1408 E 15th St, is opposed.
Scot Smith, 1402 E 16th St, is opposed to the project.
Chair Walton closed the Public Hearing.

F. Public Hearing and Possible Action on a request for a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA)
for the replacement of a historic architectural feature with a non-historic architectural feature at
the property located at 1702 S. Elm Street, bearing the legal description 0.42 acres in Block 2,
Southside Addition. (2021-60-COA) – Britin Bostick, Downtown & Historic Planner
Staff report by Bostick. The subject property has a two-story structure constructed c. 1914 with
Craftsman and Prairie style architectural features and still retains what appear to be the original
porch deck, although the original columns have been replaced. The applicant is requesting
HARC approval to replace the historic wood porch with a new fiber composite porch decking
and steps. The porch foundation and steps have deteriorated and need replacement to correct
deterioration and uneven walking surfaces, and the applicant prefers the longevity and low
maintenance of the fiber composite decking product versus painted wood.
Chair Walton opened and closed the Public Hearing as no one signed up to speak.
Motion to approve Item F (2021-60-COA) by Commissioner Johnston. Second by
Commissioner Romero. Approved 6-0.
G. Updates, Commissioner questions, and comments. – Sofia Nelson, Planning Director

STAFF ANALYSIS
Present Property Description:
The subject property has a medium priority Craftsman style historic structure with clipped gable roof
and a detached garage along the south side street, also with a clipped gable roof. The garage structure
appears in the 1925 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map, however, on the map it was separately addressed
from the main structure.
Requested Changes:
The applicant is requesting HARC approval for a 6’ wood privacy fence along the south side street
property line and a 6’ iron fence internal to the property in the side yard between the new privacy fence
and the main house. The proposed fence would enclose the back yard including the west façade of the
detached garage, which is being remodeled to serve as a pool house.
Technical Review:
The UDC allows for a 3’ tall, 50% transparent fence in the front and side yards of residential properties
in the Old Town Overlay District unless HARC approves an alternate design. As the proposed 6’ fence
sections would be located in the side yard, they require approval by HARC. The Design Guidelines
typically recommend a maximum of 4’ in height for front and side yard fences, however, due to the
location of the accessory structure, and the narrow width of E. 16th Street, the proposed fence acts more
as a back yard fence than a side yard fence and is set back from the front façade of the main house and
aligned with the street façade of the accessory structure. Back yard fences are typically 6’ in height, and
the proposed fence facing Ash Street would have the more than 50% transparent iron fence design.
DESIGN GUIDELINE COMPLIANCE
Staff has determined that the proposed project complies with 1 of the 2 applicable Historic District
Design Guidelines in Chapter 3 as detailed below in the Applicable Design Guidelines section below.
APPLICABLE DESIGN GUIDELINES
The following guidelines are applicable to the proposed scope of work in accordance with the adopted
Historic District Design Guidelines:
GUIDELINES FINDINGS
CHAPTER THREE– OLD TOWN DESIGN GUIDELINES

Ornamental iron fences should be more delicate than
the standards for wood picket fences.
Complies
The proposed fence facing the
primary street façade is ornamental
iron that is more transparent than a
typical wood picket fence. The
proposed side street fence is a wood
privacy fence.
c. Side yard fencing

partially in front of and partially
aligned with the accessory structure
and is partially in front of and
partially behind the main structure.
Given the proposed location and
design, the fence acts more as a back
yard fence, which can be
constructed up to 6’ in height and
can be a privacy fence constructed
from wood.

HARC Submission for CoA
The Wade Residence Remodel
1503 Ash Street
Georgetown, TX 78626
October 18th, 2021
The Project Scope Summary:
This applica on is for a CoA rela ng to the remodeling of the exis ng accessory structure at 1503 Ash Street. The detached garage
is es mated to have been built in 1935, and the style matches that of the original home which is a mix of tradi onal and cra'sman
architectural styles. It is currently classified as Low Priority structure in the 2016 survey.
The exis ng garage is a single story structure, which includes a 2 car garage and a storage room. The owners hope to convert the
garage space into an outdoor kitchen and entertainment area, while the storage room will become a guest suite with a bathroom.
The footprint and roofline of the building will remain the same, with the garage doors and a par al wall being removed to create
openings to the outdoor kitchen. The only street-facing altera ons will be the removal of the garage doors, and the addi on of a
new fence to enclose the backyard and entertainment space. In order to stay in keeping with the original style of the home, all
new windows and openings, including the garage door openings facing Ash street, will be finished out with style-appropriate trim
and details, while the roof and siding will remain as is. Both the style and materials will be picked to enhance the stylis c con nui-
ty of the structure. New windows will be Andersen composite fiberglass (100 Series). The lite pa4erns and configura on will reflect
the original architectural style of the home. The exterior will be repainted to match the current colors. These colors are reflected
in the renderings in this package.
The new fence will wrap around the street-facing perimeter of the garage to enclose their backyard from E. 16th Street. The fence
materials would be to match the exis ng fencing on the property, being wooden privacy fence on the side adjacent to E. 16th
Street (to match the fencing on the west side of the garage), and decora ve iron fencing on the side adjacent to the driveway and
facing Ash Street. The fencing would serve as both a backyard and pool enclosure, being 6’ tall with a self-latching gate and
mee ng the ver cal member spacing requirements of pool enclosures. We are reques ng a setback modifica on for the privacy
fence adjacent to E. 16th street, as the garage sits along the property line and there is precedent of similar setback encroachment
on the opposite side of the garage facing E. 16th Street.
The area around the pool will also be reworked to solve an exis ng drainage issue. In order to channel the water runoff around the
garage, we will pour a new drainage pathway that slopes from the level of the pool deck down to the level of the driveway, drain-
ing out onto E. 16th street. This drainage pathway will be located within the new fenced area, and would not be visible from either
E. 16th or Ash Street.
The overall intent of this project is to improve upon the appearance, usability and historic nature of the building, while extending
both the indoor and outdoor living spaces of the property. The overall style will remain the same and will be rounded out with the
addi on of architectural details appropriate with the overall style.
We appreciate the opportunity to present this project to HARC.
Sincerely,
J. Bryant Boyd, AIA

STAFF ANALYSIS
Present Property Description:
The subject property is a two-story medium priority structure constructed in 1914 by M. L. Langford and
financed by J. H. Griffith, the president and trustee of the Taylor Building & Loan Association and older

brother of notable local builder C. S. Griffith, for Clara and Mabel Wilson. Based on the construction year,
and photos from the 1984 Historic Resource Survey, the structure may have undergone exterior changes
to modify the front porch style, as the primary façade, including the porch, has Craftsman architectural
details that were more common in Georgetown after the construction of the house.
Requested Changes:
The applicant is requesting HARC approval of the addition of a rear porch which would have a stone
patio-style floor, cedar and pine columns and sloped or shed roof structure and a standing seam metal
roof to match the roof on the existing structure. The columns would have 1’ square and 30” tall bases,
which reference but do not exactly replicate the column bases on the front porch.
Technical Review:
The proposed porch meets the required setbacks and applicable Design Guidelines and is located fully
to the rear of the structure, although it would be visible from the side street.
DESIGN GUIDELINE COMPLIANCE
Staff has determined that the proposed project complies with 5 of the 5 applicable Historic District Design
Guidelines in Chapter 3 as detailed below in the Applicable Design Guidelines section below.

that of the primary building.
Complies
The proposed porch has a shed roof
with a slope and materials in
character with the primary building.
