University Avenue, bearing the legal description Block 2 of the Hughes Addition. AGENDA ITEM DETAILS Project Name: First United Methodist Church HVAC and Sanctuary Renovation Applicant: Alfred Brice (FGM Architects) Property Owner: First United Methodist Church Property Address: 410 E. University Avenue Legal Description: Block 2 of the Hughes Addition Historic Overlay: Old Town Overlay District Case History: HARC previously approved the installation of a louver via 2020-30-COA HISTORIC CONTEXT Date of construction: 1891-1893 (HRS) Historic Resources Survey Level of Priority: High National Register Designation: First Methodist Church (Individually Listed) Texas Historical Commission Designation: Recorded Texas Historic Landmark (1974) APPLICANT’S REQUEST HARC: Rooftop HVAC, mechanical or communication equipment that result in modifications to the building façade HPO: Rooftop HVAC, mechanical or communication equipment that result in no modifications to the building facade STAFF ANALYSIS In their meeting on July 23, 2020 HARC approved modifications to the main sanctuary building at First United Methodist Church. The modifications included the installation of an Outdoor Air (OA) louver for a proposed new Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system to be installed for the main church building and sanctuary. The louver was proposed to be installed in the west façade of the historic Page 5 of 92 Planning Department Staff Report Historic and Architectural Review Commission 2020-30-COA – 410 E. University Avenue Page 2 of 5 portion of the building, above the roof of the c. 1930 addition and on the west side of the sanctuary building. Following revisions to the project the applicant is requesting HARC approval of a change to the proposed building modifications. Rather than installing the louver originally proposed and based on changes to the layout and function of the HVAC system, the applicant is now requesting to install an access door in the same location that was previously proposed to have a louver. The door opening would have a different size and orientation but would be similar in impact to the building façade and is proposed to be painted to match the existing limestone wall. Staff provided the following analysis to HARC in the first hearing on this application: “The proposed upgrade to the building’s HVAC system requires a larger volume of outside air supplied to the attic space of the church’s sanctuary building than is presently available, and the applicant is therefore requesting HARC approval to remove a section of the stone on the west façade above the roof of the c. 1930 addition so that a painted aluminum louver can be installed that would permit increased air flow into the attic space to supply the new system. Locating the louver on the west façade provides the least visual impact to the structure as well as places the louver on the side of the structure in which other mechanical units and equipment are already installed. Although an alteration to the street-facing façade, the louver is anticipated to only be visible from the second block to the west along University Ave due to the addition. The stone is proposed to be removed in sections and supported by a steel angle above the opening, and the louver installed in the opening with flashing around the louver unit so that it will be watertight and so that any water that does infiltrate the stone wall can “weep” out or move back to the exterior of the wall, rather than stay in the stone or in the interior of the space. The aluminum louver is proposed to be painted “Ivory” to match the stone and be as inobtrusive as possible. Included in this project is the installation of new rooftop condenser units with screening, which is reviewed by the HPO.” The Methodist Church is closely tied to Georgetown’s development, as well as Southwestern University, and what is known today as First United Methodist Church has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places as well as designated as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark. The Recorded Texas Historic Landmark text reads: “Founded in 1849 as Georgetown Mission, organized 1874 but still served then by circuit riders, this church acquired a resident pastor in 1879. Original building was erected in 1881-82 on the Southwestern University campus. The present church structure was built in 1891-93, of native limestone, hand-cut at this site. Physics professor Robert S. Hyer was the supervising architect. The floor plan is modeled after the Greek cross. Bishops A. Frank Smith (1889-1962) and W. Angie Smith (1894-1974), brothers, made decisions to enter the ministry in this church. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark – 1974”. The National Register nomination form provides information very similar to the 1984 Historic Resource Survey entry. Page 6 of 92 Planning Department Staff Report Historic and Architectural Review Commission 2020-30-COA – 410 E. University Avenue Page 3 of 5 APPLICABLE DESIGN GUIDELINES The following guidelines are applicable to the proposed scope of work in accordance with the adopted Downtown and Old Town Design Guidelines: GUIDELINES FINDINGS CHAPTER – CHAPTER NAME 8.27 Minimize the visual impact of mechanical equipment as seen from street. Do not locate window air conditioning units on the building’s primary facade. Use low-profile mechanical units and elevator shafts on rooftops that are not visible from the public’s view. If this is not possible, setback or appropriately screen rooftop equipment from view. Locate a satellite dish out of public view, to the extent feasible, and in compliance with other regulations. Paint mechanical equipment attached to the building fascia the same color as the fascia in order to blend into the building. When locating mechanical equipment be sensitive to views from the upper floors of neighboring buildings as well as other neighboring properties. Character defining features of existing buildings (i.e. roofline, chimneys, dormers) must be not be damaged or obscured when adding new roof mounted energy conservation systems such as solar devises. Skylights or solar panels should have low profiles and not be visible from the public right-of-way. These features should be installed in a manner which minimizes damage to historic materials. Solar shingles may be added to a roof surface visible from a public right-of-way if low or non- reflective shingles are used. Use solar panels and solar devices that are similar in color to roof materials and use non-reflective finishes. Solar panels should not be mounted to project from walls or other parts of the building. Complies The proposed access door installation has minimal visibility from the street as it is to be installed in a portion of the west building façade that is partially obscured by later additions to the west side of the original historic sanctuary building. Additionally, HARC previously approved the installation of an outdoor air louver in the same location. The access door has a similar size to the louver but a different orientation, and the top of the door opening will sit higher on the façade than the louver would have. The applicant has also adjusted the locations of the rooftop HVAC units to be set further back from the façade, and provide sight line studies showing that the new units will be screened by the parapet walls and building additions. Page 7 of 92 Planning Department Staff Report Historic and Architectural Review Commission 2020-30-COA – 410 E. University Avenue Page 4 of 5 CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL In accordance with Section 3.13.030 of the Unified Development Code, the HARC must consider the following 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. 2. Compliance with any design standards of this Code; Complies Proposed project complies with the applicable UDC requirements. 3. Compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties to the most extent practicable; Partially Complies SOI Standard #9: “New additions, exterior alterations or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment.” The proposed door installation would remove a portion of the stone façade to create an opening in the wall to access an attic space which will house portions of the updated HVAC system. Installing the door on the west wall above the existing building addition minimizes the visual impacts to the historic structure, and the proposed door is of a scale and appearance that are similar to the previously approved louver. 4. Compliance with the adopted Downtown and Old Town Design Guidelines, as may be amended from time to time, specific to the applicable Historic Overlay District; Complies Proposed project complies with applicable Design Guideline. 5. The general historic, cultural, and architectural integrity of the building, structure or site is preserved; Complies Although a portion of the stone façade is proposed to be removed for the installation of an access door, the west façade is the Page 8 of 92 Planning Department Staff Report Historic and Architectural Review Commission 2020-30-COA – 410 E. University Avenue Page 5 of 5 SECTION 3.13.030 CRITERIA FINDINGS least visible from the street and minimizes the visual impacts of the alteration. 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 as part of this project. 7. The overall character of the applicable historic overlay district is protected; and Complies Proposed project does not diminish the character of the Old Town Overlay District. 8. The Master Sign Plan is in keeping with the adopted Downtown and Old Town Design Guidelines and character of the historic overlay district. Not Applicable No signage is proposed as part of this project. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Based on the findings listed above, staff recommends APPROVAL of the request. As of the date of this report, staff has received no public comments on the request.

We are locating two outdoor Air Handling Units, set back away from University Avenue. This is a change from the multiple units, previously set towards the north along University Avenue. This new HVAC system will no longer require the large aluminum louver, previously approved by HARC. We will also be replacing the existing undersized wood hatch door. The new weather resistant hollow metal door will be accessed by stairs to allow better access for maintenance onto the existing interior catwalk above the Sanctuary ceiling. The new door will be painted to match the existing stone. We look forward to your approval of the new HVAC and maintenance components. Should you have any questions regarding the request or require additional information, please let us know.

Water Penetration Beginning Point of Water Penetration = 1050 fpm Water PenetrationAMCA defines the beginning point of water penetration as thefree area velocity at the intersection of a simple linearregression of test data and the line of 0.01 ounces of waterper square foot of free area and is measured through a 48" ¥48" louver during a 15 minute period. The AMCA waterpenetration test provides a method for comparing louvermodels and designs as to their efficiency in resisting thepenetration of rainfall under specific lab conditions. Pottorffrecommends that intake louvers are selected with areasonable margin of safety below the beginning point ofwater penetration in order to avoid unwanted penetrationduring severe storm conditions. 12 18 24 30 36 42 48 54 60 66 72 78 84 90 96 102 108 114 120 12 0.4 0.7 0.9 1.2 1.4 1.6 1.9 2.1 2.4 2.5 2.8 3.0 3.3 3.5 3.8 4.0 4.3 4.5 4.7 18 0.4 0.7 0.9 1.2 1.4 1.6 1.9 2.1 2.4 2.5 2.8 3.0 3.3 3.5 3.8 4.0 4.3 4.5 4.7 24 0.7 1.0 1.4 1.8 2.2 2.6 2.9 3.3 3.7 3.9 4.3 4.7 5.1 5.5 5.9 6.2 6.6 7.0 7.4 30 0.9 1.4 1.9 2.4 2.9 3.5 4.0 4.5 5.0 5.4 5.9 6.4 6.9 7.4 7.9 8.4 9.0 9.5 10.0 36 1.1 1.8 2.4 3.1 3.7 4.4 5.0 5.7 6.3 6.8 7.4 8.1 8.7 9.4 10.0 10.7 11.3 12.0 12.6 42 1.3 2.1 2.9 3.7 4.5 5.3 6.1 6.9 7.6 8.2 8.9 9.7 10.5 11.3 12.1 12.9 13.7 14.5 15.2 48 1.6 2.5 3.4 4.3 5.3 6.2 7.1 8.0 9.0 9.6 10.5 11.4 12.3 13.3 14.2 15.1 16.0 16.9 17.9 54 1.8 2.9 3.9 5.0 6.0 7.1 8.2 9.2 10.3 11.0 12.0 13.1 14.1 15.2 16.3 17.3 18.4 19.4 20.5 60 2.0 3.2 4.4 5.6 6.8 8.0 9.2 10.4 11.6 12.4 13.6 14.8 16.0 17.1 18.3 19.5 20.7 21.9 23.1 66 2.3 3.6 4.9 6.3 7.6 8.9 10.2 11.6 12.9 13.8 15.1 16.4 17.8 19.1 20.4 21.8 23.1 24.4 25.7 72 2.5 4.0 5.4 6.9 8.4 9.8 11.3 12.7 14.2 15.2 16.7 18.1 19.6 21.0 22.5 24.0 25.4 26.9 28.4 78 2.7 4.3 5.9 7.5 9.1 10.7 12.3 13.9 15.5 16.6 18.2 19.8 21.4 23.0 24.6 26.2 27.8 29.4 31.0 84 3.0 4.7 6.4 8.2 9.9 11.6 13.4 15.1 16.8 18.0 19.7 21.5 23.2 24.9 26.7 28.4 30.1 31.9 33.6 90 3.2 5.1 6.9 8.8 10.7 12.5 14.4 16.3 18.2 19.4 21.3 23.1 25.0 26.9 28.8 30.6 32.5 34.4 36.2 96 3.4 5.4 7.4 9.4 11.4 13.5 15.5 17.5 19.5 20.8 22.8 24.8 26.8 28.8 30.8 32.8 34.8 36.8 38.9 102 3.4 5.4 7.3 9.3 11.3 13.3 15.3 17.2 19.2 20.5 22.5 24.5 26.5 30.8 30.4 32.4 34.4 36.4 38.3 108 3.6 5.7 7.8 10.0 12.1 14.2 16.3 18.4 20.5 21.9 24.1 26.2 28.3 30.4 32.5 34.6 36.7 38.9 41.0 114 3.8 6.1 8.3 10.6 12.8 15.1 17.3 19.6 21.8 23.3 25.6 27.8 30.1 32.3 34.6 36.8 39.1 41.3 43.6 120 4.1 6.5 8.8 11.2 13.6 16.0 18.4 20.8 23.2 24.8 27.1 29.5 31.9 34.3 36.7 39.1 41.5 43.8 46.2 Free Area (ft2) Pressure Loss Louver Test Size = 48" ¥48" (1219 ¥1219) Width (Inches) He i g h t ( I n c h e s ) 0.01 0.10 1.00 100 1,000 10,000 Selection CriteriaFollow the steps listed below to calculate the louver size needed to satisfy therequired air volume while minimizing the adverse effects of water penetration andpressure loss.1.Determine the Free Area Velocity (FAV) at the maximum allowable pressure lossusing the Pressure Loss chart to the left.

Austin Ave., bearing the legal description Lot 4, Block 9, City of Georgetown. AGENDA ITEM DETAILS Project Name: 208 S. Austin Ave. Applicant: Danielle Watts Property Owner: ACS Management Inc. Property Address: 208 S Austin Ave. Legal Description: Lot 4, Block 9, City of Georgetown Historic Overlay: Downtown Overlay District Case History: HARC approved a rear addition via COA-2016-042 that was not constructed. HISTORIC CONTEXT Date of construction: 1890 (HRS) – Public Records suggest 1895 Historic Resources Survey Level of Priority: High National Register Designation: Individually Listed as the Imhoff House Texas Historical Commission Designation: N/A APPLICANT’S REQUEST HARC: Addition of a porch, patio or deck STAFF ANALYSIS The Applicant is requesting HARC approval for the addition of a rear wood deck and patio, which would be part of the W. 3rd Street façade. The deck and patio are proposed to have wood screening elements on the west façade, with a style similar to a contemporary pergola. According to public records, E. F. Booty, likely Emory Few Booty born in 1860, sold Lot 4, Block 9 of the City of Georgetown to L. P. Imhoff in 1895 for $350. Louis P. Imhoff was born in 1870 and died in 1942. Mr. Imhoff is alleged to have constructed the dam at the Blue Hole and is remembered to have had a machine shop. The executor of L. P. Imhoff’s estate sold the property to Archie G. Harris in 1944 for $2,250. After the death of Archie Harris in 1947, Florence Harris’s children sold her their share of the property. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, and the property remained in the Harris family until 2015.

Austin Ave. Page 2 of 5 In 2015 the rear addition, visible on the 1916 Sanborn Map, was declared a dangerous structure by the City of Georgetown and it was subsequently demolished. A COA application from 2016 requested approval of a rear addition to the house and detached carport, which were approved. The project was not completed, however, and the current applicant is requesting approval of the addition of an approximately 410 sq. ft. rear deck and patio, designed similarly to a pergola, with horizontal screening on the west side. The existing house is approximately 600 sq. ft. with a front porch. Additional proposed improvements include landscaping and a new driveway. APPLICABLE DESIGN GUIDELINES The following guidelines are applicable to the proposed scope of work in accordance with the adopted Downtown and Old Town Design Guidelines: GUIDELINES FINDINGS CHAPTER 7 – DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR ADDITIONS & ALTERATIONS 7.1 Avoid alterations that would damage historic features. Avoid alterations that would hinder the ability to interpret the design character of the original building. Alterations that seek to imply an earlier period than that of the building are inappropriate. Complies The proposed addition is to the rear of the existing historic structure, which has already had a rear addition removed and the rear façade altered from the original. 7.3 An addition shall be compatible in scale, materials, and character with the main building. An addition shall relate to the building in mass, scale, and form. It should be designed to remain subordinate to the main structure. An addition to the front of a building is inappropriate. However, where a building in the Downtown Overlay is set back from the front property line and the structure does not have historic significance, the first consideration for the placement of an addition should be to fill the gap between the existing building and sidewalk. This will maintain the consistent “street wall” desired in the downtown. For example, mounting a sign panel in a manner that causes decorative moldings to be chipped or removed would be inappropriate. Complies The proposed rear addition is designed as a contemporary styled pergola or patio and deck, which represents a contrast to the Victorian period architectural style of the existing structure, but which can also be distinguished as a new addition. The proposed materials are stained cedar, which compliments the wood frame house, and which do not complete with the character of the existing historic structure. Additionally, the patio and deck are proposed to be constructed at the rear of the structure and not visible from the primary street façade, and to be set back from the side street façade. Page 45 of 92 Planning Department Staff Report Historic and Architectural Review Commission 2021-1-COA – 208 S. Austin Ave. Page 3 of 5 GUIDELINES FINDINGS CHAPTER 7 – DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR ADDITIONS & ALTERATIONS 7.7 Place an addition at the rear of a building or set it back from the front to minimize the visual impacts. Setting an addition back from any primary, character-defining façade will allow the original proportions and character to remain prominent. Locating an addition at the front of a structure is inappropriate, and an addition should be to the rear of the building, when feasible. Complies The proposed addition is completely to the rear of the structure and is not part of the primary street façade. 7.9 An addition shall be compatible in scale, materials, and character with the main building. An addition shall relate to the historic building in mass, scale, and form. It should be designed to remain subordinate to the main structure. While a smaller addition is visually preferable, if a residential addition would be significantly larger than the original building, one option is to separate it from the primary building, when feasible, and then link it with a smaller connecting structure. An addition should be simple in design to prevent it from competing with the primary facade. Consider adding dormers to create second story spaces before changing the scale of the building by adding a full second floor. Complies The proposed addition has a scale and materials that are compatible with the main building. The character is different from the character of the main building, as a contemporary style patio and deck. However, the patio and deck structures are compatible in that they are simple in design, can be clearly distinguished as a new addition, do not compete with the character of the Victorian architectural style and are situated entirely to the rear of the structure and are set back from the side street façade.
