Review and possible approval of the minutes from the October 24th Regular HARC Meeting Motion by Knight, second by Mee to approve the minutes as read. Approved 6 – 0. 2. Discussion and possible action on a Certificate of Design Compliance request for infill construction at Glasscock Addition, Block 9, Lot 5, .165 acres, located at 201 East 9th Street (CDC-2013-049) Synatschk stated the applicant was not finished with the application and requested being delayed to the next meeting. Motion by Knight, second by Urban to table this application to the next regular HARC meeting in January. Approved 6 – 0. 3. Public Hearing and possible action on a Certificate of Design Compliance request for exterior alterations at Glasscock Addition, Block 11, Lot 3-4, .33 acres, located at 205 East 7th St and 606 South Myrtle St. (CDC-2013-036) Synatschk explained that this application was delayed from the previous August meeting’s Historic and Architectural Review Commission Page 2 of 4 Meeting: December 12, 2013 action for a “stop work” order that had been placed on the property. The applicant seeks approval from HARC for unapproved exterior changes to the medium priority historic structures located at 606 S. Myrtle St and 205 E 7th St. The completed changes include replacement of historic decorative porch columns, doors and windows. Applicant also requests approval for exterior paint. Commissioners asked questions. Urban asked if they were supposed to pick the door from the options given. Synatschk stated they were to choose the option, and staff recommends option number 1 being the closest to the previous doors that were removed. Knight asked about the screen door color. It was stated that it would be the same color as the trim color on each house. Since the public hearing was held in August, there was not one held at this meeting and no speakers signed up to speak. Motion by Urban to approve the application as presented with door option number one being preferred. Second by Paul. Approved 6 – 0. 4. Public Hearing and possible action on a Certificate of Design Compliance Request for exterior alterations at City of Georgetown, Block 51, Lot 3(PT), .0505 acres, located at 108 W. 8th St. (CDC-2013-054) Synatschk presented the staff report. The applicant seeks Certificate of Design Compliance (CDC) approval from HARC to alter a Medium Priority historic structure located in the Area 1 of the Downtown Historic Overlay. The proposed project will remove the non- historic awning and restore the missing significant features of the building, including the cornice and opening the transom windows. Synatschk provided historical pictures of the building from the early 1900’s through the 1970’s. The applicant, Ken Horak was present for questions. Mr. Horak explained that the transom windows will be exposed by the removal of the existing wooden slip cover. The transoms may have been reconfigured during previous alterations and will be restored to line up with the storefront openings. However, the glass is broken and the wall is deteriorating but the holes for the windows are still evident. The transom windows will be reconstructed. The front door will remain the full glass wooden French door. Eby opened the Public Hearing and with speakers coming forth closed it at 6:18 p.m. Winder opened the discussion. She felt there was a discrepancy between the design and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards, standard 3 which states each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place and use. Changes should not be undertaken that create a false sense of historical development. And standard 9 which states new additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. She was concerned about the scale of the cornice and the placement of the windows where there are historical pictures that indicate the size and placement are different than they were originally. Synatschk stated the removal of the canvas awning and the wooden slip cover allows the transom windows to be exposed and restored to their original condition. Additionally, removing the brick added in the 1970s allows the reconfiguration of the existing storefront to reflect the historic configuration. The new storefront will be clad in brick. The Sanborn Historic and Architectural Review Commission Page 3 of 4 Meeting: December 12, 2013 Maps indicate that the structure was constructed of masonry materials, allowing for the reconstruction of the brick façade. Synatschk suggested a compromise to leave the two lower windows and to add 3 transom windows, instead of the proposed four. There was also discussion of reducing the height of the proposed new cornice and to take 12 – 18” off the top of the cornice. Motion by Winder to approve the application with the condition that the configuration of the proposed windows change to single panel transom with three parts and the parapet be revised from the existing proposal to be no higher than the picture of the 1900’s indicates it was originally. And the cornice design should be as close to the design of the 1900’s style as possible. Second by Brown. Approved 6 – 0. 5. Public Hearing and possible action on a Certificate of Design Compliance request for exterior alterations and signage at Glasscock addition, Block 11, Lot 5-6, .33 acres, located at 611 South Church St. (CDC-2013-055) Synatschk presented the staff report. The applicant seeks approval to alter a High Priority historic structure located in the Area 2 of the Downtown Historic Overlay. The Applicant seeks HARC approval for the following items: exterior paint, replacement of wood skirting with fiber cement siding, and business signage. The applicant is proposing painting the structure with Kelly-Moore Windham Cream (HLS4236-1) as the base coat, using Kelly- Moore Flickering Firefly (KM5220-1) and Sherwin Williams Blue Beyond (SW9691) for the trim color. Additionally, the applicant wishes to paint the door with Kelley-Moore Ole Yeller (KM5228-3). Applicant also proposes replacing the wooden skirting with fiber cement boards, painted to match the structure. Ray Shawley, Affordable Signs was available for questions. Commissioners confirmed the applicant’s choices of color. Eby opened the Public Hearing and with no speakers coming forth, closed it. Motion by Knight to approve the application with the condition that they use only one trim color, that being Kelly Moore Flickering Firefly. Second by Paul. Approved 6 – 0. 6. Discussion on proposed project at 610 and 619 E University Avenue. This item was pulled by the property owner. 7. Discussion and possible action regarding the establishment of the Minor Projects Subcommittee. Synatschk presented a report suggesting that a number of minor projects could be served better at the subcommittee level, alleviating the time needed for review by the entire commission. In 2013, he reported 4% of the cases were handled administratively, 38% were handled by the Sign Subcommittee and 58% were reviewed by the entire Commission. Of those applications, those that could go to the proposed Subcommittee, not requiring building permits were handled by: Admin – 4%, Minor Projects Subcommittee – 40%, and HARC – 56%. There were questions by the Commissioners. Eby opened the item for discussion by the public. Historic and Architectural Review Commission Page 4 of 4 Meeting: December 12, 2013 Susan Firth, 1403 Olive Street, expressed concern over the vague definition of minor projects not requiring a building permit. She stated that when only two members attend the Sign Subcommittee, or a Subcommittee made up of three people, bigger decisions are made that should be made by more consideration of the entire commission. Ross Hunter, 908 S. Walnut, asked the question of what is “minor”. He stated he felt there was not enough proof of the hardship of a delay to justify taking the decision making aspect away from the entire commission. He asked that the item be table until further evidence could be presented. Raymond Wahrenbrock, 1901 Westwood, agrees with the commissioners’ questions and appreciates Matt’s responses. He suggested that this would only work if all three subcommittee members were present for a meeting and that they should have the option of deferring items to the entire commission for further review. The commissioners returned to deliberation. Paul stated he did not feel burdened now by having the additional review by the entire commission. Synatschk argued that by placing the smaller, minor, projects with the subcommittee, the entire commission would have more time for the bigger projects, and the smaller projects would have a quicker turnaround time. The Commissioners asked Synatschk to define the number of priority cases, minor projects without building permits that went through the process in 2013. They also asked for a more clear definition of a “minor” change. No action was taken on this item. 8. Consideration and possible action to establish HARC Demolition Subcommittee Synatschk made the commissioners aware that although there was not a demolition application submitted, there was discussion and the subcommittee would need to be formed for future applications. Three volunteers were requested. 9. Questions and comments from HARC Commissioners in Training. No questions. 10. Updates from staff and reminder about the January 13, 2014 Sign Subcommittee and the January 23, 2014 HARC meetings. 11. Adjournment. Motion by Urban to adjourn at 7:45 p.m. _______________________________ _________________________________ Approved, Anna Eby, Chair Attest, Tim Urban City of Georgetown, Texas SUBJECT: Discussion and possible action on Downtown Master Plan adoption recommendation ITEM SUMMARY: FINANCIAL IMPACT: SUBMITTED BY: Matt Synatschk City of Georgetown, Texas SUBJECT: Discussion and possible action on a Certificate of Design Compliance request for infill construction at Glasscock Addition, Block 9, Lot 5, .165 acres, located at 201 East 9th Street (CDC-2013-049) ITEM SUMMARY: FINANCIAL IMPACT: SUBMITTED BY: Matt Synatschk ATTACHMENTS: Description Type CDC-2013-049 Staff Report 1 of 4 Backup Material CDC-2013-049 Staff Report 2 of 4 Backup Material CDC-2013-049 Staff Report 3 of 4 Backup Material CDC-2013-049 Staff Report 4 of 4 Backup Material Georgetown Planning and Development Department Staff Report Historic and Architectural Review Commission 201 E. 9th Street Certificate of Design Compliance Page 1 of 4 Meeting Date: January 23, 2014 Item: 3 File No: CDC-2013-049 Project Planner: Matt Synatschk, Historic Planner Report Date: January 16, 2014 Staff Recommendation: Approval Item Description Public Hearing and possible action on a Certificate of Design Compliance request for infill construction at Glasscock Addition, Block 9, Lot 5, .165 acres, located at 201 East 9th Street.

Hwy. 29, Ste. A Georgetown, TX 78626 January 2, 2014 RE: Signage at 1004 – 1006 S. Austin Ave. Attached is signage application for “ReImagine” and “Avalon Monuments”, located at 1004 and 1006 S. Austin Avenue. The tenants have requested that a Main ID Sign be installed to the existing 2 poles on the south edge of the property to be viewable on Austin Avenue. Tenants understand that the 2 existing poles must be cut/lowered to a maximum of 10’ height. Tenants have also requested a valance awning to be constructed and installed to the front of the building (no awning is currently present). We have proposed construction of standard 2-sided MDO wood signs, with digitally printed content faces. The signs will be mounted directly to the existing 2 poles. 2 Individual signs would be mounted, one for each tenant, where each measures 24”h x 88”w, for a total square footage of 14.66 each (total of both panels equals 29.33 square feet). The proposed awning would measure 36”h x 53’w, and would extrude from the building a minimum of 4” to a maximum of 8”. Linear Footage of business is approximately 57’ Full-color sketches showing the proposed sign and suggested placement are included in this packet. No color samples are included because all colors proposed are either “Black” and “White”, or digitally printed colors (which are represented fairly accurately on the full-color drawings). Existing signage and/or lettering currently installed on the top/front of the building would be removed to accommodate awning.

Demolishing the existing non-historic 1970’s alteration/addition 2. Construction of a new addition Staff Analysis The proposed project for the historic structure located at 1604 Olive Street is designed to rehabilitate the existing structure while increasing the usability and livability of the space. The 1955 structure was altered in the 1970’s, which included enclosing the garage. The applicant proposes to demolish the section of the house that previously contained the garage, and add a 1,237 square foot addition. Due to the setback from the street and the corner location, the property has limited options for expansion without severely impacting the primary structure. The following guidelines apply to this project: Guideline 7.1 – Avoid alterations that would damage historic features • While the new addition will alter the structure, it will not damage any unique historic features. The new addition will replace a non-historic addition. The materials from the demolition should be saved and used on other portions of the structure as needed. Guideline 7.6 – Design a new addition such that the original character can be clearly seen. • Applicant proposes an addition with clearly delineated roof lines and other features, setting it apart from the primary structure. Guideline 7.7 – Place an addition at the rear of the building or set it back from the front to minimize the visual impacts. • The proposed addition will be added to the rear of the structure and will not significantly alter the existing roof line. Historic and Architectural Review Commission 1604 Olive Street Certificate of Design Compliance Page 3 of 3 Guideline 7.9 – An addition shall be compatible in scale, materials, and character with the main building. • The proposed addition is compatible in scale and materials with the historic structure, and retains the character of the primary structure. Guideline 7.10 – The roof form of a new addition shall be in character with that of the primary building. • The addition will have a pitched roof, with a slightly steeper pitch to accommodate the two story addition. Guideline 14.18 – The roof of a new addition shall be in character with that of the primary building • The roof of the proposed addition will blend with the design and materials of the existing roof. Public Comments As of the date of this report, no public comments have been received by the City. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the Certificate of Design Compliance for the following items: 1. Demolition of the enclosed garage 2.

The Project Scope: Summary of Existing Construction: The Existing home consists of an original 1800 square foot home with a detached garage built circa 1955. The addition will consist of an additional 1237 Square feet of living area, a porch and a two car garage. Based on our investigation and inspection the residence appears to have been altered in the 1970’s. The alteration seems to have consisted of a complete interior remodel, conversion of the existing carport/garage to the living, addition of a utility space, and the fireplace and chimney seen today. In addition the entire structure was covered in limestone veneer. The current owners completed an addition and remodel on the South and West side in 2009 resulting in the structure seen today. There are outbuildings and a detached garage on the property that are not included or affected by the proposed work. Summary of Proposed Demolition & Construction: The proposed work requires the demolition of the non-historic circa 1970 enclosure of the carport/garage. We are also proposing the demolition of the existing concrete driveway on the same east side. This demolition will make way for the addition as described below. The existing 2-car garage on the South (formerly 17th Street) side will fulfill the parking requirements for the residence. The current street facing (east) facade will change as shown in the enclosed package with the new single story addition. With the exception of the (2) tapered stone column bases at the Entry Porch (east elevation), the new addition will match existing construction in materials, style, & color palette. The (2) tapered column bases will be river rock stone (see image on pg. 4 of this document). Otherwise, the proposed new materials and construction will provide a slight differentiation between what is existing and new. We appreciate the opportunity to present this proposal to HARC for discussion. Sincerely, J.

Staff Analysis The proposed project for the 1912 Mary De Bardeleben House, a High Priority Historic Structure, is designed to rehabilitate the existing structure while increasing the usability and livability of the space. The National register eligible historic structure is one of many structures in the historic core constructed by the Belford Lumber Company. Due to the significant setback from the street, the property has limited options for expansion without severely impacting the primary structure. The following guidelines apply to this project: Guideline 4.4 – Repair only those features that are deteriorated. • The existing garage siding siding and other materials should be repaired rather than replaced. Complete replacement of all materials regardless of their condition is not an appropriate treatment for this structure. Guideline 5.1 – Maintain existing wall materials and textures • The historic wood siding and other materials should be repaired or replaced in kind with the same materials. Any materials removed from the structure for the construction of the addition shall be retained for future maintenance of the structures. Guideline 5.2 – Repair deteriorated primary building materials by patching, piecing-in, consolidating or otherwise reinforcing the materials. • The historic materials should be repaired for use on the project. Complete replacement of materials is not allowed. If materials must be replaced due to severe deterioration, the replacement materials should be installed on the rear of the structure, with original materials being consolidated on the facades visible from the public right of way. Historic and Architectural Review Commission 1402 South Ash Street Certificate of Design Compliance Page 3 of 4 Guideline 7.1 – Avoid alterations that would damage historic features • While the new addition will alter the structure, it will not damage any unique historic features. The materials from the demolition should be saved and used on other portions of the structure as needed. Guideline 7.2 – Properties designated by the City as a High or Medium Priority Historic Structure should be preserved and the historic character retained. • The proposed project will retain the historic character of the High Priority Historic Structure. • While the new addition will alter the structure, it will not damage any unique historic features. The materials from the demolition should be saved and used on other portions of the structure as needed. Guideline 7.6 – Design a new addition such that the original character can be clearly seen. • Applicant proposes an addition with clearly delineated roof lines and other features, setting it apart from the primary structure.

Public Comments As of the date of this report, no public comments have been received by the City. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the Certificate of Design Compliance for the following items: Construction of a new addition to the primary structure Attachments Applicant’s letter of request, photos, and renderings Submitted By Matt Synatschk, Historic Planner James Bryant Boyd, AIA 902 Forest Street Georgetown, Texas 78626 Tel: 512.930.1686 Fax: 512.863.7794 www.jbryantboyd.com jbboyd@jbryantboyd.com 1 Request for CDC 1402 Ash Street Georgetown, TX 78626 Summary This project involves a partial remodel (247 sq. ft.) of a 2-story historic residence located at 1402 Ash Street with a 2 story 1,631 square foot heated addition and three car garage. The existing structure will receive wood repair and paint - character and materials to remain the same. The residence is located at the southwest corner of Ash Street and East 14th Streets. Justification Statement The existing residence will not be significantly affected by the addition. Historical integrity of the existing residence will remain intact. Due to some deterioration, repairs are needed. Overall repairs include deck, wood siding and foundation underpinning. The addition is set 81’ from the front property line to the southwest corner of the lot and will not impact the front elevation of the existing residence. Project Scope 1. The existing deck repair will include removing deteriorated lumber and replacing with new lumber. 2. Wood siding, trim, facsia boards or any other deteriorated wood will be removed, replaced and painted to match existing paint color. 3. Paint will be scraped where necessary and repainted to match existing paint color. 4. The existing screened porch and roof will be removed to accommodate remodel and connect the addition. 5. The existing detached garage structure will remain intact and will receive wood and paint repair as needed. 6. The colors on the exterior of the addition will match the existing with the exception of the stone work in the front elevation of the addition. See page 6 for example of new stone color. 7. Underpinning of the existing residence, currently of stucco on lathe, is crumbling. It will be replaced with a concrete footing and stone to match the stone on the addition; thus, tying the new and existing together. We appreciate the opportunity to present this request to HARC.
