Legislative Regular Agenda
B. Consideration and possible action to approve the minutes from the November 11 , 2021 regular
meeting of the Historic and Architectural Review Commission. - Mirna Garcia, Program
Manager
Motion to approve by Commissioner Romero. Second by Commissioner Johnston. Approved
6-0 .
C. Public Hearing and Possible Action on a request for a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for
a new fence, railing or wall that is inconsistent with the overlay district's characteristics and
applicable guidelines at the property located at 1503 Ash Street, bearing the legal
description 0.36 -acre in the Clement Stubblefield Survey, Abstract No. 558, also being known as
the west part of Block 9, Hughes Addition, an unrecorded subdivision. (2021 -62-COA) – Britin
Bostick, Downtown & Historic Planner
Staff report by Bostick. 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,
Page 4 of 55
Historic and Architectural Review Commission Page 2 of 3
Meeting: December 9, 2021
however, on the map it was separately addressed from the main structure. 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. 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, a nd the proposed fence facing Ash Street would have
the more than 50% transparent iron fence design.
Chair Walton opened and closed the Public Hearing as no one signed up to speak.
Motion to approve Item C (2021 -62-COA) by Commissioner Romero. Second by
Commissioner Morales. Approved 6 -0.
D. Public Hearing and Possible Action on a request for a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for
the addition of a porch, patio or deck at the property located at 913 Walnut Street, bearing the
legal description 0.1652-acre in the William Addison Survey, Abstract No. 21, also being known
as the northwest part of Block 90, Dimmitt Addition, an unrecorded subdivision. (2021 -63-COA)
– Britin Bostick, Downtown & Historic Planner
Staff report by Bostick. 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 modif y 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. The applicant is
requesting HARC approval of the addition of a rear porch whic h 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 exa ctly replicate the column bases on the front porch. 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.
Chair Walton opened a nd closed the Public Hearing.

Legislative Regular Agenda
B. Public Hearing and Possible Action on a request for a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for
the demolition of a medium priority historic structure at the property located at 412 E.
7th Street, bearing the legal description Lot 1, Glasscock’s Second Addition. (2021-64-COA) –Nat
Waggoner, Asst. Planning Dir. - Long Range
Staff report by Waggoner. Per a deed from April 5, 1912, Albert Horton Glasscock, Elizabeth
Jane Glasscock Talbott, and Margaret C. Glasscock Boatner, three of Georgetown founder’s
George Washington Glasscock’s children, along with their brother Andrew’s heirs, sold Lots 3
& 4 in Block No. 30 of Glasscock’s Addition to D. F. Draper for $800. The deed described the
property as having improvements. George Glasscock died in 1868, and the historic structure
may have been constructed at some point by the Glasscock family, based on ownership history,
although if so, it was likely a rental property as the Glasscock family were known to have other
residences in Georgetown and in other Texas cities. Per a deed from December 10, 1945, the
District Court of Williamson County directed the sale of Lots 3 & 4 in Block 30 of Glasscock’s
Addition in the cause of Annie Bell Singleton, et al vs Marjorie Lynn Woods. A. F. Morris and
wife Mary Lessie Morris purchased the property for $1,500 from the court appointed receiver

Meeting: January 13, 2022
Dor W. Brown. A mechanic’s lien from January 30, 1946, was payable to the Belford Lumber
Company for the amount of $1,500. The lien release described the improvements as completed
according to the plans and specifications, with a sum of $975.32 remaining due. The lien was
paid off in April 1947. Per an affidavit from 1977, Anderson Fambrue Morris and Mary Leslie
Mitchell Morris were married on December 23, 1913, in Winnfield, Louisiana and had nine
children. Mary passed away in 1969 in Williamson County and Anderson passed away in 1977.
Following their parents’ deaths, the Morris children sold the property to Thomas & Betty Davis,
and the property passed between they and Timothy Davis until 1988 when it was sold to
Federico & Mary Flores after it was replatted as a single lot rather than half of Lots 3 & 4. Jim
and Amy Miller purchased the property in 2021.
The house at 412 E. 7th Street first appears on the Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps in 1916, four
years after the purchase by D. F. Draper. The 1916 map shows a small, one-story wood frame
structure with a wide front porch and an accessory structure at the rear of the property. The
1925 and 1940 maps do not show a change to the property, but the house does appear in the
corner of an aerial photo from c. 1934 (photo from Southwestern University Special Collections)
with an asymmetrical roof, indicating that the structure either had an asymmetrical roof
originally, or that the rear addition where the kitchen and living space are currently located was
added prior to 1934. By 1964 changes can be seen in the aerial photo from that year, which were
likely the alterations and additions made by the Belford Lumber Company in 1946. A driveway
and carport on the west side of the structure are visible in the 1964 photo. The 1974 photo shows
a similar site layout, with the addition of residential structures on other lots on the block. The
1984 Historic Resource Survey form and photos describe and show a one-story frame dwelling
(which was called an I-House plan, not reflected in the current structure) with asbestos siding, a
stone chimney, wood windows with 4/4 lights and a porch with Doric (round) columns, as well
as an attached carport. The structure today does not reflect historic building materials , which
have all been removed and replaced, excepting the porch columns, which appear to be the same
as those in the 1984 photos. The current exterior materials are low quality and not durable or
contributing to the historic character. The remaining historic materials are the limestone
chimney and framing, and the interior finishes are not historic or conducive to salvage. Rear
and side additions have been constructed after 1984 which are not of quality construction or
materials, and which do not contribute to historic character. At this point the majority of the
historic fabric has been removed, with only the form of the house recognizable as historic from
the exterior. Based on the current condition of the structure, the potential age of the framing and
stone and the form of the house, which is a simple rectangular shape with a steep gable roof
and front porch, the HPO recommends that the request for demolition be approved, but that an
archive document of the property be provided to the City, and that the h istoric materials be
salvaged to the extent feasible.
The applicant, Jim Miller, addressed the Commission and was available to answer questions.
Chair Walton opened the Public Hearing.

Meeting: January 13, 2022
Tom Paxton, 1302 S College, owns a house similar to the structure proposed for demolition. His
house was in worse shape, but it was fixed. He is opposed to the demolition.
John Lawton commented that there is nothing of meaning except for the structure itself. The
property can be restored but it would take a lot of money.
Liz Weaver, 1221 S Main St., received 3 minutes from Ron Weaver. She is opposed.
Chair Walton closed the Public Hearing.
Motion to deny Item B (2021-64-COA) by Commissioner Romero. Second by Commissioner
Morales.
Commissioner Nunn commented that it will be expensive to put in new materials, and these
materials won’t be true to the historic nature. The shape is the only thing that is left that may be
historic. Commissioner Nunn supports demolition.
Motion to deny passes 3-2 with Commissioners Johnston and Nunn opposed.
C. Public Hearing and Possible Action on a request for a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for
a new fence, railing or wall that is inconsistent with the overlay district's characteristics and
applicable guidelines at the property located at 1307 S. Myrtle Street, bearing the legal
description 0.13-acre in the Clement Stubblefield Survey, Abstract No. 558, also being known as
the southwest part of Block B, Hughes Second Addition, an unrecorded subdivision. (2021 -73-
COA) –Nat Waggoner, Asst. Planning Dir. - Long Range
Staff report by Waggoner. The subject property has undergone a reconstruction from the
foundation and framing during a remodel that was approved for additions a garage enclosure
and a new fence in 2020. The low priority historic structure, which had a construction date of
1950 on the 2016 HRS, was shown to have been constructed between 1965 and 1974 based on
aerial photos and deed records, with a likely year of 1965. The applicant is requesting HARC
approval of a new fence design along the E. 14th Street property line. The proposed fence
would be a 6’ tall wood privacy fence that would align with the front or southwest corner of the
house and enclose the side street and rear yards. The applicant is requesting the approval of a
privacy fence to provide additional privacy to the master bedroom, bathroom and a secondary
bedroom. In their meeting on May 28th, 2020, HARC approved a 3’ tall front yard fence and a
4’-6” tall side street yard fence with the condition that both fence sections be a minimum of 50%
transparent. The proposed fence height and lack of transparency do not comply with the Design
Guidelines effective September 1, 2021, although the proposed wood materials do comply. In
the near vicinity fences are generally lower height and partially transparent, with privacy fences
separating properties. A privacy fence enclosing the side yard is not generally compatible with
the character of the near vicinity. Staff has determined that the proposed project complies with 0
of the 2 applicable Historic District Design Guidelines in Chapter 3 as detailed below in the
Applicable Design Guidelines section below.

Meeting: January 13, 2022
The applicant, Cory Shaw, addressed the Commission and further explained the request and
was available to answer questions.
Chair Walton asked clarifying questions related to the previous approval and this request.
Shaw explained that there was a lack of privacy for the bathroom and master bedroom at that
area. This would have a horizontal fence as originally planned but made out of wood.
Commissioner Romero asked if the fence would meet the guideline for transparency. Waggoner
explained he does not know the dimensions between the slats but it does not appear to based on
the design.
Commissioner Nunn asked if this will be on the property line. Waggoner explained that it is se t
back 6 feet from the property line.
The applicant explained that it is on the property line, and it has 15-foot setback.
Chair Walton commented that he would like to know the actual transparency dimensions.
Chair Walton opened and closed the Public Hearing as no one signed up to speak.
Commissioner Nunn commented that the applicant should provide an accurate representation
of their request for the fence, including transparency figures /dimensions.
Motion to postpone action on Item C (2021-73-COA) to the January 27, 2022 meeting by
Commissioner Romero. Second by Commissioner Morales. Approved 5-0.
D. Updates, Commissioner questions, and comments. – Sofia Nelson, Planning Director
Nelson introduced Meredith Johnson, who will be our interim historic planner while the
department fills the position.

Letter of Intent
Re: 1307 Myrtle St
The following letter spells out our intent to remodel the property at 1307 Myrtle St, which is in
the Historic Overlay District.
We would like to change the current low roof-line to a combination of 9/12 and 4/12 pitch with a
cross section at the ridge and gables on four sides. This will give the home more of a craftsman
style feel to it which is in alignment with the desired “appeal” for the downtown area. We will
clad the roof with a standing-seam metal, which is very popular for the area.
The current footprint is about 1250 square feet of living space. We would like to extend the back
of the house 10’ which would add approximately 450sf of additional living space to the home.
The 10’ extension allows us to remain in compliance with the rear setback of 10’.
A carport currently exists and we would like to turn this into an attached garage. We would do
this by pouring an appropriate concrete slab and reframe the exterior and demising wall to bring
them up to code, then add a single-car garage door according to the architectural plans.
We would like to update the siding throughout the exterior with Hardieplank smooth lap siding
below the roof edge and vertical Hardie board and batton siding in the gables.
This corner lot is also in need of an updated fence. A chain link fence exists but we would like to
remove this and update it with a horizontal wood fence (according to the plans) which will
conform to the requirement of 3’ high at the front of the property.
Finally, the current footprint is a non-conforming building as it lies within the side/rear setback of
15’. Our desire is to build a wrap-around porch from the front door around to the back side of the
house. According to the survey the house is 11’4” from the property line. We are proposing a 6’
wide porch. Our desire to build a wrap around porch is to add aesthetic appeal on both Myrtle St
and 14th St. Being a corner lot, we’d like to make both street facing elevation as appealing as
possible - a wrap around porch would help us achieve this goal.
Thank you,
Lisa Shaw

STAFF ANALYSIS
Present Property Description:
The subject property has undergone a reconstruction from the foundation and framing during a
remodel that was approved for additions a garage enclosure and a new fence in 2020. The low priority
historic structure, which had a construction date of 1950 on the 2016 HRS, was shown to have been
constructed between 1965 and 1974 based on aerial photos and deed records, with a likely year of 1965.
Requested Changes:
The applicant is requesting HARC approval of a new fence design along the E. 14th Street property line.
The fence is proposed to be constructed of 8 horizontal wood pickets, 72 inches in length spaced 1 and
3 inches apart for a total height of 6’. The proposed spacing of the horizontal pickets provides 21%
transparency. The fence is proposed to align with the front or southwest corner of the house and
enclose the side street and rear yards, approximately 14’ from the curb line of 14th Street at the
south/east property pin.
Justification for Requests:
The applicant is requesting the approval of the additional height and reduced transparency to provide
additional privacy to the master bedroom, bathroom and a secondary bedroom.
Technical Review:
In their meeting on May 28th, 2020, HARC approved a 3’ tall front yard fence and a 4’-6” tall side street
yard fence with the condition that both fence sections be a minimum of 50% transparent. The proposed
fence height and lack of transparency do not comply with the Design Guidelines effective September 1,
2021, although the proposed wood materials do comply. In the near vicinity fences are generally lower
height and partially transparent, with privacy fences separating properties. A privacy fence encl osing
the side yard is not generally compatible with the character of the near vicinity.
DESIGN GUIDELINE COMPLIANCE
Staff has determined that the proposed project complies with 0 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
3.3.G Fences & Retaining Walls
G.1 Fencing
b. Front yard fences along the property line
can be constructed out of the following
materials:
Partially Complies
The proposed are wood However, the
pickets appear to occupy 79% of the fence
panel and have a horizontal orientation and
are 3 inches at their widest point.
Page 36 of 55
Planning Department Staff Report
Historic and Architectural Review Commission
2021-73-COA – 1307 S. Myrtle Street Page 3 of 5
GUIDELINES FINDINGS
CHAPTER THREE– OLD TOWN DESIGN GUIDELINES
Masonry or stone walls
Masonry may be used at the base for no
higher than 8 inches, or on posts flanking the
walkway to support a gate or on corner posts.
Ornamental iron
Ornamental iron fences should be more
delicate than the standards for wood picket
fences.
Wood picket
Pickets should be vertical and should not
occupy more than 50% of the fence panel. The
pickets or materials should not be more than
2.5 inches wide at its widest point. Posts
should be no more than 6 inches wide. Solid,
“stockade” fences do not allow views into
front yards and are inappropriate.
c. Side yard fencing
A side or rear yard fence that is taller than its
front yard counterpart may be considered.
See UDC Chapter 8 for fence standards.
Side yard fences erected to the street side of
the building line and within the side street
setback may be of any of the above materials
not over four (4) feet in height.
Side yard fences behind the building may be
built to a height of six (6) feet. The fence can
be constructed as a privacy fence from wood.
Partially Complies
The proposed 6’ side yard fence is located to
the street side of the building line and over
three feet in height.
CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL
In accordance with Section 3.13.030 of the Unified Development Code, HARC must consider the
following criteria. Staff has determined that the applicant partially complies with 3 out of 8 of these
criteria.
SECTION 3.13.030 CRITERIA FINDINGS
1. The application is complete and the
information contained within the application
is correct and sufficient enough to allow
adequate review and final action;
Complies
Staff reviewed the application and deemed
it complete.
Page 37 of 55
Planning Department Staff Report
Historic and Architectural Review Commission
2021-73-COA – 1307 S. Myrtle Street Page 4 of 5
2. Compliance with applicable design standards
of this Code;
Partially Complies
The proposed design complies with the use
of wood. However, residential properties in
the Old Town Overlay District are required
to have a 3’ tall and 50% transparent fence
in the front yard and side street setback,
and the proposed fence is a 6’, 21%
transparent fence in the side street setback.
3. Compliance with the Secretary of the
Interior's Standards for the Treatment of
Historic Properties to the most extent
practicable;
Complies
Proposed fence is in character with the
subject property and is easily removed.
4. Compliance with the adopted Historic
District Design Guidelines, as may be
amended from time to time, specific to the
applicable Historic Overlay District;
Partially Complies
Proposed fence partially complies with
applicable Design Guidelines.
5. The general historic, cultural, and
architectural integrity of the building,
structure or site is preserved;
Complies
The proposed fence does not alter the
integrity of the building or site.
6. New buildings or additions are designed to
be compatible with surrounding properties in
the applicable historic overlay district;
Not Applicable
No new buildings or additions are
proposed.
7. The overall character of the applicable historic
overlay district is protected; and
Partially Complies
Fences exist in a variety of heights, styles
and materials within the Old Town Overlay
District. However, the overall character, and
the character of the near vicinity of the
subject property, is generally lower height,
transparent fences, including wood pickets,
chain link (which is no longer permitted),
and decorative iron fencing along street
property lines. The height and lack of
transparency of the proposed fence are not
compatible with the general character,
although the wood fence materials are
compatible.
8. The Master Sign Plan is in keeping with the
adopted Historic District Design Guidelines
and character of the historic overlay district.
Not Applicable
No signs are proposed.
