APPLICANT’S REQUEST
HARC:
• Addition of a porch (The proposed project will alter the current, original front of the primary
structure by altering the porch from the north side of the house to the south side of the house)
• Replacing historic windows
• New street-facing façade along 17 ½ Street (guest house)

STAFF ANALYSIS
The subject property is located on the corner of South Church Street and 17th ½ Street and is developed as
a single-story, medium-priority residential structure approximately 1,200
square-feet in size and an approximate 270 square-foot detached garage.
The exterior of the house utilizes asbestos shingle siding as the primary
material. This property is generally located on the southern entrance of
the Old Town Overlay District and surrounded by single story homes
ranging from an estimated structure age of late 1890s to new build
The historic resource survey (HRS) identifies the primary structure has an undefined style with a front-
gabled roof with an inset, partial-width front porch, and a rectangular floor plan. While the HRS does
not directly identify the specific style of the structure it does appear to carry characteristic of the
bungalow style and craftsman movement. There does appear to be a lack of ornamentation to further
represent the influential style, however it appears that likely speaks to a builder who may have been
working on a tighter budget.
Requested Changes:
The applicant is seeking several changes to the current structure.
• Front Porch: The proposed project will alter the current, original front of the primary structure
by altering the porch from the north side of the house to the south side of the house. The alteration
to the façade will extend the recessed porch out, towards Church Street, by adding a set of stairs.
Current west façade Proposed west facade
Page 12 of 108
Planning Department Staff Report
Historic and Architectural Review Commission
2022-8-COA – 1903 Church Street Page 3 of 20
• Window Replacement: The applicant is seeking to replace existing wood windows with single
hung vinyl windows. Should the front porch alterations be approved the existing porch would
be enclosed and an additional window on the north façade (17 ½ Street façade) will be added and
two new windows will be installed on the west façade (Church Street façade) in a more
pronounced fashion given the existing windows are located within the recessed porch.
• Carport Construction: The applicant is seeking to construct a 18’ long by 19’wide, including
eaves, carport on the eastern most end of the subject property. The height will be a peak of 12 feet
and the carport will be supported by 6”x6” posts with cement fiber boards and trim and include
a standing seam metal roof. The access to this carport would be located off 17 ½ Street and utilize
an existing curb cut. The applicant is proposing to locate this property within the required setback
and as a result is seeking a 10'-0” encroachment into the required 25'-0” street-facing garage
setback for the construction of a detached carport 15'-0” from the side (north) property line. The
proposed carport will adhere to the required 10’ rear setback.
`
Existing property configuration Proposed configuration
• Garage addition and remodel to guest house: The existing garage is approximately 270 square
feet in size and serves as a 1 ½ detached car garage. It is not listed on the HRS but does provide
for a street facing façade for 17 ½ Street. The existing garage is located within the required setback,
with the closest part of the garage located within approximately 5-8 feet of the property line. The
applicant is proposing an addition to the existing building that will increase the length of the
garage from 20 feet to 23 feet and increase the setback encroachment from about 8 feet to 11 feet.

From a street facing façade the applicant is proposing to utilize a cement fiber siding and install
a vinyl window to match the proposed windows on the primary home.
Existing
Proposed
• Addition to the primary home: The applicant is seeking to make two additions to the rear of the
primary home. The additions including an extension of the living space and the construction of a
small back porch. The proposed back porch is approximately 12’ in length from the existing
house and approximately 5’ in width. The south side of the house is a non -street facing façade
and will be the side of the home where the primary living space addition is most visible. The rear
addition is approximately 450 square feet in size (25’X 18’) and generally not visible from Church
Street.

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 GUIDELINES
3.2.A Original building materials should be preserved in
place, whenever feasible. A.1 Maintain existing wall materials
and textures.
✓ Remove only those materials that are deteriorated and
must be replaced.
✓ Avoid rebuilding a major portion of an exterior wall
that could be repaired. Reconstruction may result in a
building that is no longer historic.
✓ In many cases, original building materials may not be
damaged beyond repair and do not require
replacement. Repainting wood, ensuring proper
drainage, and keeping the material clean may be all
that is necessary.
Complies
The applicant has identified in their
letter of intent that the exterior
walls are sheathed with one-by-
six wood boards beneath the
existing asbestos siding. Several
single pain windows on 17 1/2
Street are beyond repair
and will be replaced with
similar new windows.
3.2.C Repair deteriorated primary building materials by
patching, piecing-in, consolidating, or otherwise
reinforcing the materials.
✓ Avoid the removal of damaged materials that can be
repaired.
✓ Isolated areas of damage may be stabilized or fixed,
using consolidants. Epoxies and resins may be
considered for wood repair. Also, special masonry
repair components may be used.
Complies
Although the exterior of the
structure will be altered, and the age
and a portion of the design character
of the original structure will be
obscured the HRS does not note the
windows or asbestos shingles as
character defining features that are
key to the integrity of the structure.
It does not appear that the siding or
windows are repairable. The siding
replacement will be reviewed in
whole as an HPO review.
3.2.E Original building materials that
have deteriorated beyond repair should
be replaced in kind.
E.1 While restoration of the original material or feature is the
preferred alternative, in some situations a portion of
the original building material may be beyond repair.
Replacement should occur only if the existing historic material
cannot be reasonably repaired.
E.2 Match the original material in composition, scale and finish
when replacing it on a primary surface.
Not applicable to this review.
The building material replacement
is subject to an HPO review and will
be analyzed separately.
3.2.F The covering of original building materials is not
appropriate.
Not applicable to this review.

GUIDELINES FINDINGS
CHAPTER THREE – OLD TOWN GUIDELINES
The building material replacement
is subject to an HPO review and will
be analyzed separately.
3.2.G Original wood should be protected against moisture
and deterioration.
Not applicable to this review.
The building material replacement
is subject to an HPO review and will
be analyzed separately.
3.2.H Masonry construction should be preserved in its
original condition.
3.2.I Masonry that was not painted historically shall not be
painted.
3.2.J Protect masonry from water deterioration.
Not applicable to this review.
This structure does not include
masonry construction.
3.3.A Maintain the established progression of public-to-
private spaces.
o The established pattern typically includes a
sequence of experiences, beginning with the public
street, the parkway and the sidewalk, proceeding
along a “semi-public” yard, to a “semiprivate”
porch or entry feature and ending in the “private”
spaces beyond.
✓ If a block face doesn’t include this sequence,
follow the established predominant sequence.
o Provide a walkway running perpendicular from
the street to the front entry. Use paving materials
that are similar to those employed historically.
Partially Complies
The block in which the subject
property sits on is limited in
sidewalk construction. The
sequence of the block face does
include a walkway from the street to
the front door. A walkway to the
front door has not been identified on
the plan set. Additionally, in the
current construction the front yard
is very shallow, but the front porch
does give a sense of semi-private
space. While the proposed
reconstruction of the front porch
will provide for a semi private
porch it does reduce the yard space
that does appear to be evident on
other properties within the block
face.
3.3.B Street Patterns and Materials (including curbs) Not applicable to this review. Street
patterns are not part of this
proposal.

GUIDELINES FINDINGS
CHAPTER THREE – OLD TOWN GUIDELINES
✓ Blocks that developed after 1920 might have houses that
are not located in the center of a lot with different side
yard setbacks. Houses were often positioned to one side
to allow for access to a garage in the back. If this is the
existing pattern in the block it should be maintained
C.2 Rear yard setbacks
✓ In historic neighborhoods garages and other
outbuildings were often placed 1- 2 feet off the property
line contrary to current codes. These structures should
be retained and repaired rather than demolished as they
create a unique historic character in the district.
The property is located at the corner
of Church Street and 17 ½ Street.
The additions are focused towards
the rear and towards the side yard
facing 17 ½ Street.
The existing structure that will be
renovated into the proposed guest
house sits within the 15’ side setback
off 17 ½ Street, as is historically
typical of this house’s era.
3.4.D Location of Garages or Carports
✓ D.1 It is preferred that garages/carports be detached at
the rear of the property.
o D.2 It is preferred with an attached garage or carport
that the garage entrance does not face the street.
o D.3 If the garage is attached and the garage faces the
street in front of the primary elevation they should be
located behind the primary façade of the residence. The
setback from the front façade should be no less than 15
feet.
✓ D.4 Garages typically contain one or two cars in Old
Town. When an owner requires more than a two-car
garage, the garage should be placed behind the house.
✓ D.5 A driveway should lead directly from the street to
the parking area.
✓ D.6 A parking pad located in the front of a residence is
inappropriate
Complies
The proposed detached carport is to
be located at the rear of the
property, with an existing driveway
off 17 ½ Street that leads directly to
the parking.
3.4.E Parking Configuration and Driveways
✓ E.1 Minimize the visual impacts of a parking area
✓ E.2 Front yard setbacks shall not be used for parking.
Partially Complies
The proposed project will increase
visibility to the parking area as the
current drive is somewhat
overgrown. The driveway will lead

GUIDELINES FINDINGS
CHAPTER THREE – OLD TOWN GUIDELINES
✓ E.3 Driveways are typically single width in Old Town.
New driveway should be single width at the curb cut
and continue at a single width until one reaches a length
suitable for one car to park in front of each garage door
or carport space.
✓ E.4 Circular driveways are not allowed
directly into the garage and is not
circular.
3.4.F Accessory Structures
✓ F.1 Accessory structures should be located in the rear of
the property.
✓ F.2 Accessory structures should be a simplified historic
style of the primary dwelling and should be subordinate
(smaller and simpler) to the primary dwelling.
✓ F.3 Accessory structures should not be attached to the
primary structure
Complies
The accessory structures, existing
and proposed, are all located in the
rear of the property, are simple in
style, and are not attached to the
primary structure.
3.5.C Massing, Scale and Form
✓ C.1 The overall mass of a new building or addition
should convey a sense of human scale. That is floor to
floor heights on the ground floor should not exceed 15
feet on the ground floor and 12 feet on the second floor.
Building materials should reflect a sense of scale that
would appear as if one or two persons could lift the
material. Monumental proportions are not appropriate.
✓ C.2 Scale Buildings in the Old Town Overlay District
should appear similar in height and width to residential
structures seen traditionally in the area.
✓ C.3 Form
a. The main mass form should be a simple square, a
rectangle or an “L-Plan” with an uncomplicated roof
form, that is having a minimum of roof plane changes.
b. The proportions of the front façade should be taller
than it is wide.
Complies
The proposed alterations increase
the mass and scale of the structure
overall, but the focus remains in the
rear of the property. The scale will
continue to fit Old Town and this
particular block.
3.5.E Roof
✓ E.1 Form
The primary form should either be a gable end that faces the
street or a cross gable that runs parallel to the street. Gable,
hipped, pyramidal and gambrel roofs are appropriate.
o E.2 Dormers
Complies
The proposed roof will replace
deteriorated asphalt shingles with a
standing seam metal roof. New roof
and the proposed additions will
retain the existing form and 5:12

GUIDELINES FINDINGS
CHAPTER THREE – OLD TOWN GUIDELINES
a. Dormers are also appropriate, but must be designed
so that there is a relationship to windows on the main
building.
b. Dormers may also be front facing and centered, but
should not occupy more than 40% of the roof plane. In
other words, dormers should not be so large as to appear
to be adding an additional story to a structure.
c. Dormers on the side should not occupy more than 60%
of the roof plane.
✓ E.3 Roof Pitch. Primary roof line should be between 5:12
and 10:12 in slope depending on the style of the house.
✓ E.4 The following materials may be acceptable
depending on the building style:
• Dimensional asphalt shingle roofs that emulate wood
shingles.
• Real clay tile roofs
• Slate tiles
• Terra-cotta tiles
• Standing seam metal roofs with a double munch or
double lock seam, no more than 1.5 inches high and 18-
inch-wide pans.
• Grade A, smooth machine cut, real wood shingles
treated with fi re retardant. Shingles should be about
3/8” thick by about 5 inches wide.
• Built-up and membrane roofs are only appropriate on
slopes less than 1:10 and should be screened by a low
parapet
✓ E.5 Eaves and Overhangs. Overhangs should be
between 18 inches and 24 inches to provide shade over
windows in summer months
pitch. The roof along the proposed
detached garage renovation and
new car port will match the existing
roof in form and pitch.
Dormers are not proposed for this
property.
3.5.G.2 Windows
✓ Windows should generally comprise 30-45% of the front
façade.
✓ b. The windows should be about twice as tall as they are
wide and should have the same sill and head height on
each floor of the building. The exception is Modern
Ranch houses.
Partially Complies
The addition and alterations are
distinguishable through the use of
different number of windows, but it
maintains the same rhythm of the
original placements. The proposal

CHAPTER THREE – OLD TOWN GUIDELINES
✓ c. Windows facing the street should have all the same
sill height on each floor of the structure. Accent or
feature windows are excepted. Windows on stair cases
should follow the pitch of the stairs.
o d. Windows should be laid out symmetrically in each
bay (wall plane) that faces the street.
✓ e. Gang windows together rather than using one large
single pane window. Ganged windows should be
separated by a no less than 7” wide trim piece.
o f. A window should have trim that is at least 4.5" wide.
The window should be recessed from the trim by at least
2”.
o g. Shutters should be the same size as the window they
are adjacent to so if they were to be closed they would
cover the window. Single or double shutters are
appropriate
does appear to have symmetrical
windows on the primary structure
facing both 17 ½ street and Church
Street, however the guest house
proposes a single window facing the
street. Conditions that will help
bring the window proposal into
conformance include:
- The proposed street facing
windows shall incorporate
trim and recessed in
compliance with the design
requirements
- Another window shall be
added to the street facing
side of the guest house to
achieve the symmetry called
for in the design guidelines.
3.5.G.3 Window Materials
o Windows should be made of wood or aluminum-clad
wood or fiberglass clad wood. The profiles and jamb
conditions shall resemble the original wood windows in
detailing and profile thickness.
o b. Windows with muntins shall have dimensional
muntins on the exterior of the glass and with a spacer
inserted between the glass in insulated windows.
Dimensional muntins on the interior are optional.
✓ c. Window glass may be insulated and/ or low-e glass
but shall be clear and not tinted
Does not Comply.
The applicant is proposing single
hung 1 over 1 vinyl windows rather
than the recommended wood or
aluminum clad wood or fiberglass
clad wood windows.
3.5.H Exterior Building Materials (Addition)
✓ H.1 Building materials for new construction should be
visually compatible with the predominant materials of
this area. Materials for additions should be the same
materials as the predominant materials of the existing
building.
✓ H.2 New materials should relate to the scale, durability,
color, and texture of the predominant materials of Old
Town and in the case of building additions, to the
existing structure.
Complies
The building materials proposed for
the additions are compatible with
the historic buildings in the area and
the guidelines.

Planning Department Staff Report
Historic and Architectural Review Commission
2022-8-COA – 1903 Church Street Page 12 of 20
GUIDELINES FINDINGS
CHAPTER THREE – OLD TOWN GUIDELINES
✓ H.3 Wood siding, brick, and stone should be detailed to
provide a human scale.
✓ H.4 New materials should have a demonstrated
durability in the Central Texas climate. For example,
some façade materials used in new construction are
more susceptible to weather and simply do not last as
long as stone or brick. Vinyl siding is not allowed.
o H.5 Historic building materials of existing buildings
should be maintained and respected when additions are
proposed.
3.5.H.6 Building and Wall Materials (Addition)
The following exterior building materials are appropriate for
new construction:
✓ a. Horizontal wood or cementitious wood siding with a
4-7-inch exposure (smooth not weathered finish).
o b. Wood shingle in a vertical pattern with 3” to 7” reveal.
o c. Stone, brick or other masonry with dimensions that
are human scale, that is with the appearance that they
could be laid by hand.
o d. Combinations Creative combinations of the above are
encouraged to recreate natural textures, so long as they
meet the overall objective of conveying a sense of
permanence, human-scale and proportion.
o e. Use of Wood Shingles Wood shingles should be used
as second story cladding, on attic dormers, gable ends
and porch roof gables.
o f. Use of Brick & Block
• Brick is encouraged, but the style of brick
should be like the brick already found in the
neighborhood and should be no larger than 2
2/3” X 8” with mortar joints no larger than 1/4”.
• Brick should not be used on upper floors
unless brick is found on the floors below.
• Concrete masonry units (CMU) or concrete
block should not be used as an exposed exterior
material. g. Use of Stone
Complies
The materials proposed, for the
addition include a horizontal
cementitious siding and are
appropriate for new construction.

GUIDELINES FINDINGS
CHAPTER THREE – OLD TOWN GUIDELINES
• Native Texas stone is an appropriate exterior
material if used in the scale of other stone found
in the neighborhood.
• Use of synthetic stone is not appropriate unless
the structure already has synthetic stone. h. Non-
traditional siding materials are discouraged.
• Typically, artificial stone and brick veneer are
not appropriate.
• Asphalt shingles are not appropriate.
• Aluminum and vinyl are not appropriate.
3.5.I Architectural Details & Features
✓ I.1 Architectural details such as columns, lintels, sills,
rafters, door surrounds, and decorative gable ends add
visual interest to a structure.
✓ I.2 Use of appropriately scaled details is encouraged.
✓ I.3 Details should be consistent with the design and style
of the building.
Partially Complies
The house is a simple in design and
thus the details are minimal. The
applicant is proposing to alter the
design of the front of the primary
structure to re-orient the front
porch, elevate the front porch, and
add stairway and columns to the
front elevation that are not
representative of the architectural
details of this structure. The scale of
the proposed details appears to be
appropriate, however the
reorientation of the front façade
does appear take steps away from
the design of this structure.
3.5.J Design of Garages and Accessory Buildings
✓ J.1 Preserve an historic garage or outbuilding structure
when feasible.
✓ J.2 Use the garage for parking. It may be appropriate to
alter an historic garage to accommodate contemporary
vehicles.
o J.3 Garage doors visible from the street:
a. Repair rather than replace original or historic doors that are
significant to the character of the garage, if technically feasible.
b. If repair of historic garage doors is not technically feasible,
new replacement doors may be approved if they duplicate the
Complies
The existing garage will be
converted into a guest house, thus
preserving the structure through a
new use. Because the garage is
undergoing renovation, the garage
door will be removed and will not
be replaced as the parking will
move to an open-air carport.
The new guest house and proposed
carport are comparable in scale and

glazing, panel type and design, and operation, and fit within the
existing opening.
✓ J.4 New garages or carports must be compatible in style,
size, material, roof profile, and details with the historic
principle building on the lot.
✓ J.5 Siding on garages should match the cover material on
houses, except that wood siding is acceptable in cases
where the house is constructed of masonry.

proposed demolition in the Overlay Districts.
o J.7 In some cases, it may be appropriate to re-position
the historic garage on its original site in order to
accommodate other needs

in either scale or ornamentation.
3.5.K Additions
o K.1 Design alterations and additions to be compatible
with the historic character of the property. Building
additions should be in keeping with the original
architectural character, color, mass, scale, and materials.
✓ a. Minimize the visual impacts of an addition.
New additions should not be so large as to
overwhelm the original structure because of
location, size, height or scale. It should be
designed to remain subordinate to the main
structure.
o b. Avoid alterations that would damage historic
features.
o c. Avoid alterations that would hinder the ability
to interpret the design character of the original
building or period of significance. Alterations
that seek to imply an earlier period than that of
the building are inappropriate.
✓ d. New additions should not obscure or
demolish character defining features of the
original structure. An addition to the front of a
building is usually inappropriate.
Partially Complies
The proposed addition to the rear of
the primary structure has a minimal
visual impact from Church Street
because it extends to the rear of the
property. However, the alterations
to the front of the primary structure
do alter the character of the existing
structure by adding a different
roofline and adding porch columns
that are not original to the structure.

GUIDELINES FINDINGS
CHAPTER THREE – OLD TOWN GUIDELINES
✓ K.2 An addition should be distinguishable from
the original building, even in subtle ways, such
that the character of the original can be
interpreted.
a. Creating a jog in the foundation between the original
and new structures may help to define an addition.
b. Even applying new trim board at the connection point
between the addition and the original structure can help
define the addition.
c. An addition should be simple in design to prevent it
from competing with the primary façade.
K.3 Location of Additions
✓ Additions should be located inconspicuously on the
least character defining elevation.
✓ b. Place additions on the first floor, whenever possible,
in portions of the neighborhoods with predominantly
one-story houses.
✓ c. Additions should be to the rear of the existing
structure or as far away from the public street unless
there is sufficient side yard width. Place an addition at
the rear of a building or set it back from the front to
minimize the visual impacts. This will allow the original
proportions and character to remain prominent.
✓ d. 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.
✓ e. An addition shall be set back from any primary,
character-defining façade. If sufficient side yard width is
available, the addition should be recessed behind the
front façade by a minimum of ten feet (10'-0").
o f. Where nearby homes have a distinctive pattern of
varied front elevation setbacks (e.g., recessed entries),
avoid filling in the spaces between projecting elements
to create a flat or projecting front façade.
o g. Where an addition is proposed to be connected to the
main structure via a breezeway, the breezeway must be
of compatible character and materials to the main
Complies
The subject property has two street-
facing facades. The addition, the
renovated garage, and the new
carport will be visible from 17 ½
Street. Given the orientation of the
primary structure on the subject
property and the size of the
property the location and
orientation of the additions is
supportive of the guidance outline
in this design guideline.

conditions such as tree locations are determined to
require an increased length.
✓ K.4 The roof of a new addition shall be in character with
that of the primary building.
a. Typically, gable, hip, and shed roofs are appropriate
for residential additions. Flat roofs may be more
appropriate for commercial buildings.
b. Repeat existing roof slopes and materials.
c. If the roof of the primary building is symmetrically
proportioned, the roof of the addition should be similar
Complies
The new roof continues the existing
roof form for about 37 feet before it
steps down. The new, stepped-
down portions of the roof will retain
the 5:12 pitch and the gable form.
K.5 Second Story Additions
Consider adding dormers to create second story spaces before
changing the scale of the building by adding a full second floor.
Not Applicable
Not proposed in this application.
K.6 Design of Additions should be compatible with the primary
structure.
✓ Use roof forms, pitches, overhangs, and materials that
are similar to the original structure.
✓ b. Match window types, shapes, and proportions similar
to those of the original structure.
✓ c. Additions should acknowledge and respect and
where appropriate include architectural features of
existing building.
Complies
The new addition to the primary
structure and the detached garage
are both compatible to the primary.
K.7 Exterior Materials of Additions
✓ a. The selection of exterior materials should be
compatible with the primary building.
✓ b. Use the same siding and roof materials as used
on the original structure if possible.
✓ c. Materials should strive to be the same color,
size, and proportion and used in the same
manner as the original house but not necessarily
used in the same overall proportions. This allows
the addition to be recognized as an addition.
Complies
The proposed materials are
compatible with the original
primary building and the
neighborhood.

Seeking design approval for the renovations
and the addition of new street-facing
façades.
3. Compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's
Standards for the Treatment of Historic
Properties to the most extent practicable;
Partially Complies
Proposed encroachments into the setback
and proposed additions comply with
applicable SOI Standards. The alteration to
the front of the primary structure with the
reorientation of the front porch does alter the
original design of the primary structure.
9. New additions, exterior alterations, or
related new construction shall not destroy
historic materials that characterize the
property. The new work shall be
differentiated from the old and shall be
compatible with the massing, size, scale, and
architectural features to protect the historic

Not Applicable
Not proposed in this application.
In addition to the approval criteria listed above, HARC must also consider the following criteria for a
request for COA for a setback modification:
SECTION 3.13.030.D.2 CRITERIA FINDINGS
a. Whether the proposed setback encroachment is solely
a matter of convenience;
The existing noncontributing garage is
currently in the setback. The addition to
the garage will add about 3’ to the
existing encroachment. The new carport
will be wholly within the setback. The
additional encroachment into the
setbacks do appear to be a desire of the
applicant.
b. Whether there is adequate room on the site to allow the
proposed addition or new structure without
encroaching into the setback;
There does appear to be adequate room
on the site to allow an addition to the
primary structure, an addition to the
detached garage, and a new carport. The
new carport would need to be moved
from the proposed location and the
existing detached garage would either
need to be rebuilt in a different location
or not expanded beyond its existing
footprint.
c. Whether the proposed setback is compatible and in
context within the block in which the subject property
is located;
Blocks along 17 ½ Church Streets contain
varying setbacks seen on both historic
and new construction. The proposed

SECTION 3.13.030.D.2 CRITERIA FINDINGS
setback is compatible in context within
the block it is located.
d. Whether the proposed addition or new structure will
be set closer to the street than other units within the
block;
The proposed garage addition will be set
a similar distance along 17 1/2 street as
other garages, and the carport will be
setback from the 17 ½ Street.
e. Whether the proposed structure is replacing a
structure removed within the past year;
Not Applicable
Not proposed in this application.
f. Whether the proposed structure will replace a
structure that previously existed with relatively the
same footprint and encroachment as proposed;
Not Applicable
Not proposed in this application.
g. If the proposed encroachment is for a structure that is
replacing another structure, whether the proposed
structure is significantly larger than the original;
Not Applicable
Not proposed in this application.
h. If the proposed encroachment is for an addition, the
scale of the addition compared to the original house;
The proposed additions are smaller than
the original house.
i. The size of the proposed structure compared to similar
structures within the same block;
While there are some examples of two-
story additions nearby, but many of the
structures are one story or have detached
two-story additions with lesser square
footage.
j. Whether the proposed addition or new structure will
negatively impact adjoining properties, including
limiting their ability to maintain existing buildings;
Based on the locations of the proposed
additions and proposed carport and
guest house it does not appear
surrounding properties will be
negatively impacted.
k. Whether there is adequate space for maintenance of the
proposed addition or new structure and/or any
adjacent structures; and/or
The proposed addition will not
negatively impact maintenance abilities.
l. Whether the encroachment would enable existing large
trees or significant features of the lot to be preserved.
No significant trees impacted.

RE: Letter of Intent
New Roof Structural Repair and Construction, Window Replacement,
Structural Repair and Exterior Wall Replacement, New Floor Framing
Structural Renovation, New Carport Addition Existing Garage Remodel.
1903 Church Street
Georgetown, Texas 78626
This Letter of Intent is submitted as a part of the submittal requirements to
obtain a Certificate of Design Compliance (CDC) from the Historical Preservation
Officer (HPO).
The existing residential dwelling was constructed in 1930. The Historic
designation by style is consider none by Historic Documentation, however the
existing layout would indicate a Bungalow Plan with Moderate Craftsman detailing,
prevalent in the 30's. The residence is a one-story structure, and pier and beam
foundation. The residence has been utilized for domestic purposes and owned by
several owners since 1930. A detached 1 1/2 car garage appears to have been added
sometime in the mid to late fifties on concrete slab construction.
The structure exists on the Southside Addition Block 4NW .0165 acres. The
existing structures exterior materials consists of horizontal asbestos siding on the
original façade Church Street and 17 1/2 Street, and rear yard and side yard.
The height of the existing residence as determined by City of Georgetown
UDC Sec. 6.040030 Building Height is 14'-0". The intent of this project is to repair
and replace a severely damaged roof structure, replace and repair damaged floor
structure, and provide new construction to meet traditional Craftsman detail as
indicated in several areas of previous repair and renovate existing garage while
adding new attached carport.
The Scope of this project follows:
1. Repair and remove the majority of the damaged floor joists and supporting
four-by-six beams with new materials. Old floor decking is termite destroyed
and dry rot in several areas Concrete piers in fiber forms have replaced
assumed old timber piers in the last 10 years which appears to have started a
major renovation.
2. Exterior walls are sheathed with one-by-six wood boards beneath the existing
asbestos siding. Several single pain windows on 17 1/2 Street are beyond repair
and will be replaced with similar new windows. Existing 2x4 studs used are of
multiple heights, providing a non-standard ceiling elevation.
Page 32 of 108
The North facing exterior wall has tilted out of plumb at the upper elevation
approximately 1 1/2". Thirty percent of the exterior load bearing studs are dry-rot
and will require to be replaced. Exterior Siding will be replaced with a more
traditional horizontal fiber cement lap siding with 7"reveal.
4. The roof structure at some time had been readied to changeout existing 2x4
rafters at 2'-0" plus spacing which for the current span was structural
inadequate. New two-by-six rafters and metal standing seam roof will
provided.
5. The main structure shall have one more 6' bay of piers, which shall increase
the width of the residence from 24' wide to 30' wide. All roof pitches and
porches shall be mimicked from the original structure, with the front
porch being mirrored from north elevation to south elevation.
6. A new 2-vehicle carport shall be attached to the existing renovated garage.
The existing paint colors for siding and trim shall match the rendering included
in this presentation and included in the attached paint samples.
This major renovation to the existing structure and the secondary
structures meets Design Guidelines by providing materials and colors more
indicative of a Craftsman Bungalow Style and ties all structures on the Site to
one Style indicative of the original 1930 construction date. It will also create
a safe, livable structure which will be much more befitting of the
neighborhood architecture.

Section 3. Composition / Information on Ingredients
CAS# Chemical Ingredient %
14808-60-7 Crystalline Silica (Quartz) 15-45%
1333-86-4 Carbon Black <1%
Section 4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation Acute effects – Dust may cause irritation of the nose, throat and
airways, resulting in coughing and sneezing. Certain susceptible
individuals may experience wheezing (spasms of the bronchial
airways) upon inhaling dust during cutting, rebating, drilling,
routing, sawing, crushing or otherwise abrading fiber cement, and
when cleaning up, disposing of or moving the dust.
Chronic effects – Repeated or prolonged over exposures to
crystalline silica can cause silicosis (scarring of the lung) and
increases the risk of bronchitis, tuberculosis, lung cancer, renal
disease, and scleroderma (a disease affecting the connective tissue
of the skin, joints, blood vessels, and internal organs.) Some
studies suggest that cigarette smoking increases the risk of
silicosis, bronchitis and lung cancer in persons also exposed to
crystalline silica.
Acute silicosis – A sub-chronic disease associated with acute,
massive silica exposure, is a rapidly progressive, incurable lung
disease that is typically fatal. Symptoms include, but are not
limited to, shortness of breath, cough, fever, weight loss and chest
pain. Such exposure may cause pneumoconiosis and pulmonary
fibrosis.
Required treatment – If inhalation of dust occurs, remove to fresh
air. If shortness of breath or wheezing develops, seek medical
attention.
Skin Dust may cause irritation of the skin from friction but cannot be
absorbed through intact skin.
If skin contact occurs, wash with mild soap and water. Contact
physician if irritation persists or later develops.
Eyes Dust may irritate the eyes from mechanical abrasion causing
watering or redness.
If eye contact occurs, remove contact lenses (if applicable). Flush
with running water or saline for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical
attention if redness persists or if visual changes occur.
Ingestion Ingestion is unlikely under normal conditions of use, but
swallowing the dust from the product may result in irritation or
Page 46 of 108
Page 3 of 10
Date of Issue: 05/21/21
damage to the mouth and gastrointestinal tract due to alkalinity of
dust.
If ingestion occurs, dilute by drinking large amounts of water. Do
not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention. If unconscious,
loosen tight clothing and lay the person on his/her left side. Give
nothing by mouth to an individual who is not alert and conscious.
Section 5. Fire-Fighting Measures
Hardie® fiber-cement products are neither flammable nor explosive
Suitable extinguishing techniques: Appropriate extinguishing techniques for surrounding fire should
be used.
Fire-fighting equipment: Fire fighting personnel should wear normal protective
equipment and positive self-contained breathing apparatus.
Special hazards arising from the
substance or mixture:
Hardie ® fiber-cement products are neither flammable nor
explosive. Hazardous reactions will not occur under normal
conditions. Fight fire with normal precautions from a reasonable
distance.
Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Emergency procedures: No special precautions are necessary in the event of an
accidental release. The following precautions apply to spills or
releases of dust generated during cutting, rebating, drilling,
routing, sawing, crushing or otherwise abrading fiber cement.
Protective equipment: Good housekeeping practices are necessary for cleaning up areas
where spills or leaks have occurred. Take measures to either
eliminate or minimize the creation of dust. Respirable dust and
silica levels should be monitored regularly.
Wherever possible, practices likely to generate dust should be
controlled with engineering such as local exhaust ventilation,
dust suppression through containment (e.g. wetting loose dust),
enclosure, or covers.
Use respiratory protection as described in Section 8.
Proper methods of containment
and clean-up:
NEVER dry sweep as it may generate airborne respirable silica.
Instead, wet debris down with a fine mist or sweeping
compound to suppress dust during sweeping, or use a vacuum to
collect particles. Dispose of product in accordance with local,
state and national regulations. If there are no applicable
regulations, dispose of in a secure landfill, or in a way that will
not expose others to dust.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Page 47 of 108
Page 4 of 10
Date of Issue: 05/21/21
Precautions of safe handling and
storage:
Fiber-cement boards in their intact state do not present a health
hazard. The controls below apply to dust generated from the
boards by cutting, drilling, routing, sawing, crushing or otherwise
abrading fiber cement, and when cleaning up, disposing of or
moving the dust.
James Hardie® recommended best practices for handling fiber-
cement:
Keep exposure to dust as low as reasonably possible. Respirable
crystalline silica limits are specified by OSHA and MSHA and
identified in Section 8 of this SDS. Exposure to respirable (fine)
silica dust depends on a variety of factors, including activity rate
(e.g. cutting rate), method of handling (e.g. electric shears),
environmental conditions (e.g. weather conditions, workstation
orientation) and control measures used.
Practices likely to generate dust should be performed outside if
possible, or in a well ventilated area. The work practices and
engineering controls set out in Section 8 should be followed to
reduce silica exposures.
Keep away from reactive products. Do not store near food,
beverages or smoking materials. Avoid spilling and creating dust.
Maintain appropriate dust controls during handling. Use
appropriate respiratory protection during handling as described
in Section 8.
Incompatibilities: Hydrofluoric acid will dissolve silica and can generate silicon
tetrafluoride, a corrosive gas. Contact with strong oxidizing
agents such as fluorine, boron trifluoride, chlorine trifluoride,
manganese trifluoride or oxygen difluoride may cause fires and
/or explosions. Furthermore, limestone is incompatible with
acids and ammonium salts.

Section 8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL): Exposures shall not exceed an 8-hour time weighted
average (TWA) concentration limit as provided in 29 CFR 1910.1000 Table Z-1. The American
Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Values (TLV) are non-
regulatory recommended occupational exposure limits based on an 8-hour TWA exposures.

Other limits recommended: The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) also
has a Recommended Exposure Limit (REL) of 0.05 mg/m3 for respirable crystalline silica, based on a
10-hour time-weighted average.
Engineering Controls
The hazard associated with fiber cement arises from crystalline silica present in the dust generated by
activities such as cutting, machining, drilling, routing, sawing, crushing, or otherwise abrading fiber
cement, and when cleaning up, disposing of or moving the dust. When doing any of these activities in
a manner that generates dust you must (1) comply with the OSHA standard for silica dust and/or
other applicable law, (2) follow James Hardie cutting instructions to reduce or limit the release of
dust; (3) warn others in the immediate work area to avoid breathing the dust; (4) when using
mechanical saw or high speed cutting tools, work outdoors and use dust collection equipment; and
(5) if no other dust controls are available, wear a dust mask or respirator that meets NIOSH
requirements (e.g. N-95 dust mask). During clean-up, use a well maintained vacuum and filter
appropriate for capturing fine (respirable) dust or use wet clean-up methods - never dry sweep
Cutting Outdoors 1.Position cutting station so that wind will blow dust away
from user or others in working area and allow for ample
dust dissipation
2.Use one of the following methods based on job site
conditions and local regulation:
BEST
Score and snap using carbide-tipped scoring
knife or utility knife
Fiber-cement shears (electric or pneumatic)
BETTER
Circular saw equipped with Hardieblade® saw
blade and dust collection system
GOOD
Circular saw with Hardieblade® saw blade and
supplemental ventilation
Page 49 of 108
Page 6 of 10
Date of Issue: 05/21/21
Cutting Indoors Cut only using score and snap method or with
fiber-cement shears (manual, electric or
pneumatic)
Position cutting station in well-ventilated area to
allow for dust dissipation
Sanding / Grinding / Drilling /
Other Machining
If sanding, grinding, drilling or other machining is necessary, you
should always wear a NIOSH-approved dust mask or respirator
(e.g. N-95) and warn others in the immediate area.
Clean-Up During clean-up of dust and debris, wet debris down with a fine
water mist, apply a dust reducing sweeping compound in
sufficient quantities, or use a vacuum to collect dust and debris.
NEVER used compressed air or dry sweep without first applying a
dust reducing control measure.
Personal Protective Equipment
Respiratory – If respirators are selected, use and maintain in accordance with ANSI
Standard (Z88.2) for particulate respirators. Select respirators based on the level of
exposure to crystalline silica as measured through exposure monitoring. Use
respirators that offer protection to the highest concentrations of crystalline silica if
the actual concentrations are unknown. Put in place a respiratory protection and
monitoring program that complies with MSHA or OSHA (e.g. 29CFR1910.134)
standards, which include provisions for a user training program, respirator repair and
cleaning, respirator fit-testing and other requirements. Comply with all other
applicable federal and state laws.
Eye – When cutting material, dust resistant safety goggles / glasses should be worn
and used in compliance with ANSI Standard Z87.1 and applicable OSHA (e.g.
29CFR1910.133) standards.
Skin – Loose comfortable clothing should be worn. Direct skin contact with dust and
debris should be avoided by wearing long sleeved shirts and long trousers, a cap or
hat, and gloves. Work clothes should be washed regularly.

as fluorine, boron trifluoride, chlorine trifluoride, manganese trifluoride
or oxygen difluoride may cause fires and /or explosions. Furthermore,
limestone is incompatible with acids and ammonium salts.
Section 11. Toxicological Information
Routes of exposure: Fiber-cement is not toxic in its intact form. The following applies to dust
that may be generated during cutting, grinding , drilling, routing, sawing,
crushing or otherwise abrading fiber cement.
Related symptoms: Repeated and prolonged overexposures to dust containing crystalline
silica can cause silicosis (scarring of the lung) and increases the risk of
bronchitis, tuberculosis, lung cancer, renal disease and scleroderma (a
disease affecting the connective tissue of the skin, joints, blood vessels
and internal organs). Some studies suggest that cigarette smoking
increases the risk of silicosis, bronchitis, and lung cancer in persons also
exposed to crystalline silica. Acute silicosis is a rapidly progressive,
incurable lung disease that is typically fatal. Symptoms include, but are
not limited to: shortness of breath, cough, fever, weight-loss and chest
pain. Such exposure may cause pneumoconiosis and pulmonary fibrosis.
The following relates to health effects of cellulose: Based on limited
animal research, it is possible that repeated chronic inhalation exposure
to cellulose fiber dust over time may lead to inflammation and scarring
of the lung in humans. Precautions taken for crystalline silica dust will
protect against cellulose.
Medical conditions generally aggravated by exposure – Pulmonary
function may be reduced by inhalation of respirable crystalline silica
and/or cellulose. If lung scarring occurs, such scarring could aggravate
other lung conditions such as asthma, emphysema, pneumonia or
restrictive lung diseases. Lung scarring from crystalline silica may also
increase risks to pulmonary tuberculosis.
Smoking – some studies suggest that cigarette smoking increases the
risk of occupational respiratory diseases, including silica-related
respiratory diseases.

Requested Changes:
The applicant is requesting HARC approval of a new fen ce design along the property line. The
proposed fence would be a 4’ high, with wood and hog wire materials privacy fence that would align
with the perimeter of the property and would enclose the side, rear, and front yards with a continuous
fence.
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
✓ a. A fence that defines a front yard should be low to the
ground, shall not exceed 4 feet, and be 50%
“transparent” in nature.
o b. Front yard fences along the property line can be
constructed out of the following materials:
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
A. 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.
Partially Complies
The proposed fence meets the
requirements for transparency and
height. However, the design
guideline guidance for materials
calls for masonry walls, ornamental
walls, or wood picket fences. The
proposed fence does have wood
elements but does not adhere to the
guidance that vertical wood pickets
be utilized.
✓ 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.
Partially Complies
The proposed 4’ side yard fence is
to be located along the full
perimeter of the property. The fence
will begin and end with the
detached garage, located in the
northeast corner of the property.

District Design Guidelines, as may be
amended from time to time, specific to the
applicable Historic Overlay District;
Partially Complies
The request appears to comply with the
guidelines for transparency, intent for
height and general location but do not
appear to be in compliance with the
proposed materials.
5. The general historic, cultural, and
architectural integrity of the building,
structure or site is preserved;
Partially Complies
The subject property is a large lot with a
structure of high historic integrity. The
siting of the structure on a full city block
presents a challenge for fencing. The
proposed fence appears to be less formal
that the existing structure and less formal
that what is recommended by the design
guidelines. Given the size and transparency
of the fence the proposed fence does not
appear to either enhance or detract from the
integrity of the structure or site. The
materials recommended by the design
guidelines do appear to have the
opportunity to create a higher degree of
design compatibility for this structure and
lot than the proposed material achieve.
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
Within the Old Town overlay fences exists
in a variety of heights, styles, and materials.
The overall character, and the character of
the near vicinity of the subject property, is
generally lower height, transparent fences,

SECTION 3.13.030 CRITERIA FINDINGS
including wood pickets, chain link (which is
no longer permitted), and decorative iron
fencing along street property lines. The
height, despite the 1’ increase, and of
transparency of the proposed fence are
compatible with the general character. The
fence material is seen to be used in rear
yards in the Old Town overlay and in a few
instances in the front yard but is not
reflective of the overall character of the
area.
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.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Based on the findings listed above, staff recommends APPROVAL of the request for additional height
and location however recommends the following condition:
o The proposed fencing material be in compliance with design guideline G.1.b. Fencing
To date, staff has received 0 written comments in favor and 0 in opposition to the request (Exhibit 5).

Letter of Intent, March 2022
705 E 3rd St., Georgetown, TX 78626
Dustin & Elizabeth Norman
Project Description:
Our proposal is to build a fence to enclose our property at 705 E 3rd Street. When we purchased the
property, there was a mix of chain link and wood/wire fencing around the property line, and it was in
bad disrepair in many spots. We have since removed the old fence, as it was hazardous to our children.
Our proposed fence will be 4’ high, with wood and hog wire materials (examples below). The fence
would follow the required setbacks, and completely enclose our property. The design is over 50%
transparent (hog wire is see-through, with wood posts and wood across the top and bottom).
Request for Certificate of Appropriateness:
We are requesting a Certificate of Appropriateness to support:
• 4’ high fence (vs 3’ UDC requirements)
• Wood & wire materials
Additional Reference Materials/Attachments:
1. Pictures of current/previous fence
2. Picture of proposed fence
3. Pictures of similar fences in our neighborhood
4. Property survey showing proposed fence line

APPLICANT’S REQUEST
• Request to replace historic architectural feature with a non-historic architectural feature (material
change from board and batten siding to James Hardie cement board.)
STAFF ANALYSIS
The subject property is developed as a s single-family residential home and appears to be constructed
around approximately 1910. The exterior of the structure appears to be constructed in board and batten
vertical wood siding. The historic resource survey does not note a specific architectural style of structure
but does note alterations to the porch and replacement of windows. The applicant is requesting to remove
the wood siding due to deterioration of the wood siding.
APPLICABLE DESIGN GUIDELINES
The following guidelines are applicable to the proposed scope of work in accordance with the adopted
Historic District Design Guidelines:
Page 79 of 108
Planning Department Staff Report
Certificate of Appropriateness (COA)
2022-16-COA –509 Myrtle Street Page 2 of 6
GUIDELINES FINDINGS
3.2.A Original building materials should be preserved in
place, whenever feasible.
A.1 Maintain existing wall materials and
textures.
a. Remove only those materials that are
deteriorated and must be replaced.
b. Avoid rebuilding a major portion of
an exterior wall that could be repaired.
Reconstruction may result in a building
that is no longer historic.
c. In many cases, original building
materials may not be damaged beyond
repair and do not require replacement.
Repainting wood, ensuring proper
drainage, and keeping the material clean
may be all that is necessary.
Does Not Comply
The applicant is seeking to replace
wall materials and the general
texture of the materials. Given the
existing board and batten siding is
covered it is not evident if the
wood could have been repaired or
if the wood siding had reached a
point of requiring full replacement.
3.2.B Deteriorated building materials
should be repaired rather than replaced,
whenever possible.
B.1 When deterioration occurs, repair the
material and any other related problems.
It is also important to recognize that all
materials weather over time and that a
scarred finish does not represent an inferior
material, but simply reflects the age of the
building. Preserving original materials that
show signs of wear is preferred to replacing
them.
Does Not Comply.
From the pictures provided by the
applicant it does appear weathering
of the board and batten siding had
taken place. It is not evident
without physical inspection if the
siding could have been repaired or
if replacement was the only option.
3.2.C Repair deteriorated primary
building materials by patching,
piecing-in, consolidating, or otherwise
reinforcing the materials.
C.1 Avoid the removal of damaged
materials that can be repaired.
C.2 Isolated areas of damage may be
stabilized or fixed, using consolidants.
Epoxies and resins may be considered for
wood repair. Also, special masonry repair
components may be used.
Does Not Comply.
As noted above given this work
was started before a staff inspection
could take place it is not evident if
the materials could have been
repaired.

Planning Department Staff Report
Certificate of Appropriateness (COA)
2022-16-COA –509 Myrtle Street Page 3 of 6
GUIDELINES FINDINGS
3.2.E Original building materials that
have deteriorated beyond repair should
be replaced in kind.
E.1 While restoration of the original
material or feature is the preferred
alternative, in some situations a portion of
the original building material may be
beyond repair. Replacement should occur
only if the existing historic material cannot
be reasonably repaired.
E.2 Match the original material in
composition, scale and finish when
replacing it on a primary surface.
a. If the original material is wood
clapboard, for example, then the
replacement material should be wood or
fiber cement. It should match the original
in size, the amount of exposed lap, and
finish.
b. Replace only the amount required.
If a few boards are damaged beyond
repair, then only replace them and not
the entire wall.
c. Do not use synthetic materials,
such as aluminum, vinyl siding, or
panelized brick, as replacements for
primary building materials on an historic
structure.
d. Where foundation skirting or
underpinning has been damaged
beyond repair or replacement, replace
with the same material as the original.
If the original material is not known or
not available, foundation skirting may be
replaced with fiber cement siding that is
compatible with the style of the historic
structure. If a foundation skirting material
is known to be characteristic of an
architectural style or builder's style.
Partially Complies
As noted above the work was
started before staff could get a full
review of the existing conditions of
the building material. It does
appear the applicant is seeking to
replace the material with a material
close in scale, size and finish as the
original wood siding.
3.2.F The covering of original building Does Not Comply.
Page 81 of 108
Planning Department Staff Report
Certificate of Appropriateness (COA)
2022-16-COA –509 Myrtle Street Page 4 of 6
GUIDELINES FINDINGS
materials is not appropriate.
F.1 Historic building materials or features
shall not be covered.
F.2 No material shall be applied as a
covering to historic materials. Synthetic
stucco, panelized brick, vinyl, aluminum,
or other composite siding materials are not
appropriate.
F.3 Consider removing materials that cover
original siding.
a. Removing later covering materials that
have not achieved historic significance is
encouraged.
b. In some instances a later covering
may have achieved historic significance,
especially if it was applied early in the
building’s history. When this is the case,
the later covering may be maintained on
the structure.
c. Once the covering siding has been
removed, repair the original underlying
material. If the underlying material
is damaged to the extent it must be
replaced, replacing with the original
material is preferred. Fiber cement
siding and trim may be used as
replacement siding when the primary
wood siding material has been damaged
or has deteriorated to the point that
repair or partial replacement are not
feasible. The fiber cement siding and/or
trim should match the original siding in
profile, dimension, and texture as closely
as possible.
The applicant has noted due to the
physical construction of the house
removing the board and batten
siding is not possible without
significant rebuilding of the wall.
The applicant is seeking to place
the proposed cement board siding
over the board and batten wood
siding.

CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL
SECTION 3.13.020 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
The application is complete. However, a full
inspection of the existing wood siding for
possible repair is needed before proceeding
with action on this case.
2. Compliance with applicable design and
development standards of this Code;
Partially Complies
Given work started before staff could
provide a full inspection of materials it is
difficult to identify if full replacement of the
existing siding is necessary. Prior to a full
review and action by the Commission staff
is requesting the applicant allow for a site
visit to identify the condition of the wood
siding.
3. Compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's
Standards for the Treatment of Historic
Properties to the most extent practicable;
Partially Complies
Below are the applicable Secretary of the
Interior's Standards for the Treatment of
Historic Properties- Standards for
Rehabilitation. The standards like the Old
Town Overlay Design Guidelines focus on
rehabilitation rather than full replacement.
When replacement is necessary seeking a
new feature should be used to match the
original design.
Applicable Standards:
2. The historic character of a property shall
be retained and preserved. The removal of
historic materials or alteration of features
and spaces that characterize a property
shall be avoided.
5. Distinctive features, finishes, and
construction techniques or examples of
craftsmanship that characterize a historic
property shall be preserved.
6. Deteriorated historic features shall be
repaired rather than replaced. Where the
severity of deterioration requires
replacement of a distinctive feature, the new
feature shall match the old in design, color,

texture, and other visual qualities and,
where possible, materials. Replacement of
missing features shall be substantiated by
documentary, physical, or pictorial
evidence
4. Compliance with the adopted Historic District
Design Guidelines, as may be amended from
time to time, specific to the applicable Historic
Overlay District; and
Partially Complies
The application is consistent with general
guidance for in-kind replacement of
materials. It cannot be confirmed at this
moment that full siding replacement is
necessary and if repair has been an option
before a request to replace the material.
5. The overall character of the applicable Historic
Overlay District and the building or structure
is preserved, and the design is compatible with
the Historic Overlay District.
Partially Complies
It is important to note that repair of the
wood or replacement with wood would be
best for overall character of the district.
However, the overall character of the
historic district can be preserved should the
replacement material be utilized in a
manner that is consistent with the original
wood siding- size and siding of finish.
6. The sign is in keeping with the adopted
Historic District Design Guidelines and
character of the Historic Overlay District.
Not applicable a sign is not being
proposed.

Siding Repairs
•Remove all the old batten, trim pieces.
•Inspect the long leaf siding and replace Only the pieces that are compromised. The long
leaf must stay, as it acts as structure on this home.
•Install House Wrap over the Long leaf. Then install foam board for added insulation.
•Install James Hardie 4’X8’ Sheets with Cedar Mill finish. This is to match the existing
siding.
•Install the James Hardie batten pieces 1”X2.5” CM. We will round over the edges to
mock the existing batten that was on the home.
•Install James Hardie 1x4 CM trim on the corners and right below the soffits. Around all
windows and doors. Window and Door tape before the trim.
•Install James Hardie 1x6 CM to the bottom of the siding, from the home to the skirting.
•The bottom of the windows we will install 2”x6” Cedar to give it the sill and style it had
before.
•Fascia we will pull the batten below the shingles and haul away. We will install James
Hardie 1x6 over the existing fascia. As this is not as thick as the true lumber size that was
on there. Then we will install James Hardie batten over this and drip edge.
•Soffits, we will install the James Hardie over the existing as well as this provides
structure. Again this will match what is there now.
•We will leave the existing columns the way that they are now and just clean them up.
•Caulking and paint to be done by a different contractor. But this is to be painted white
and blue like it was before.
•We will clean up the site and leave it as it is now.

Section 3. Composition / Information on Ingredients
CAS# Chemical Ingredient %
14808-60-7 Crystalline Silica (Quartz) 15-30%
1333-86-4 Carbon Black <1%
Section 4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation Acute effects – Dust may cause irritation of the nose, throat and
airways, resulting in coughing and sneezing. Certain susceptible
individuals may experience wheezing (spasms of the bronchial
airways) upon inhaling dust during cutting, rebating, drilling,
routing, sawing, crushing or otherwise abrading fiber cement, and
when cleaning up, disposing of or moving the dust.
Chronic effects – Repeated or prolonged over exposures to
crystalline silica can cause silicosis (scarring of the lung) and
increases the risk of bronchitis, tuberculosis, lung cancer, renal
disease, and scleroderma (a disease affecting the connective tissue
of the skin, joints, blood vessels, and internal organs.) Some
studies suggest that cigarette smoking increases the risk of
silicosis, bronchitis and lung cancer in persons also exposed to
crystalline silica.
Acute silicosis – A sub-chronic disease associated with acute,
massive silica exposure, is a rapidly progressive, incurable lung
disease that is typically fatal. Symptoms include, but are not
limited to, shortness of breath, cough, fever, weight-loss and chest
pain. Such exposure may cause pneumoconiosis and pulmonary
fibrosis.
Required treatment – If inhalation of dust occurs, remove to fresh
air. If shortness of breath or wheezing develops, seek medical
attention.
Skin Dust may cause irritation of the skin from friction but cannot be
absorbed through intact skin.
If skin contact occurs, wash with mild soap and water. Contact
physician if irritation persists or later develops.
Eyes Dust may irritate the eyes from mechanical abrasion causing
watering or redness.
If eye contact occurs, remove contact lenses (if applicable). Flush
with running water or saline for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical
attention if redness persists or if visual changes occur.
Ingestion Ingestion is unlikely under normal conditions of use, but
swallowing the dust from the product may result in irritation or
Page 91 of 108
Page 3 of 10
Date of Issue: 05/24/21
damage to the mouth and gastrointestinal tract due to alkalinity of
dust.
If ingestion occurs, dilute by drinking large amounts of water. Do
not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention. If unconscious,
loosen tight clothing and lay the person on his/her left side. Give
nothing by mouth to an individual who is not alert and conscious.
Section 5. Fire-Fighting Measures
James Hardie® fiber-cement products are neither flammable nor explosive
Suitable extinguishing techniques: Appropriate extinguishing techniques for surrounding fire should
be used.
Fire-fighting equipment: Fire fighting personnel should wear normal protective
equipment and positive self-contained breathing apparatus.
Special hazards arising from the
substance or mixture:
James Hardie ® fiber-cement products are neither flammable nor
explosive. Hazardous reactions will not occur under normal
conditions. Fight fire with normal precautions from a reasonable
distance.
Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Emergency procedures: No special precautions are necessary in the event of an
accidental release. The following precautions apply to spills or
releases of dust generated during cutting, rebating, drilling,
routing, sawing, crushing or otherwise abrading fiber cement.
Protective equipment: Good housekeeping practices are necessary for cleaning up areas
where spills or leaks have occurred. Take measures to either
eliminate or minimize the creation of dust. Respirable dust and
silica levels should be monitored regularly.
Wherever possible, practices likely to generate dust should be
controlled with engineering such as local exhaust ventilation,
dust suppression through containment (e.g. wetting loose dust),
enclosure, or covers.
Use respiratory protection as described in Section 8.
Proper methods of containment
and clean-up:
NEVER dry sweep as it may generate airborne respirable silica.
Instead, wet debris down with a fine mist or sweeping
compound to suppress dust during sweeping, or use a vacuum to
collect particles. Dispose of product in accordance with local,
state and national regulations. If there are no applicable
regulations, dispose of in a secure landfill, or in a way that will
not expose others to dust.

Precautions of safe handling and
storage:
Fiber-cement boards in their intact state do not present a health
hazard. The controls below apply to dust generated from the
boards by cutting, drilling, routing, sawing, crushing or otherwise
abrading fiber cement, and when cleaning up, disposing of or
moving the dust.
James Hardie® recommended best practices for handling fiber-
cement:
Keep exposure to dust as low as reasonably possible. Respirable
crystalline silica limits are specified by OSHA and MSHA and
identified in Section 8 of this SDS. Exposure to respirable (fine)
silica dust depends on a variety of factors, including activity rate
(e.g. cutting rate), method of handling (e.g. electric shears),
environmental conditions (e.g. weather conditions, workstation
orientation) and control measures used.
Practices likely to generate dust should be performed outside if
possible, or in a well ventilated area. The work practices and
engineering controls set out in Section 8 should be followed to
reduce silica exposures.
Keep away from reactive products. Do not store near food,
beverages or smoking materials. Avoid spilling and creating dust.
Maintain appropriate dust controls during handling. Use
appropriate respiratory protection during handling as described
in Section 8.
Incompatibilities: Hydrofluoric acid will dissolve silica and can generate silicon
tetrafluoride, a corrosive gas. Contact with strong oxidizing
agents such as fluorine, boron trifluoride, chlorine trifluoride,
manganese trifluoride or oxygen difluoride may cause fires and
/or explosions. Furthermore, limestone is incompatible with
acids and ammonium salts.

Section 8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL): Exposures shall not exceed an 8-hour time weighted
average (TWA) concentration limit as provided in 29 CFR 1910.1000 Table Z-1. The American
Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Values (TLV) are non-
regulatory recommended occupational exposure limits based on an 8-hour TWA exposures.
ACGIH TLV OSHA PEL

Other limits recommended: The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) also
has a Recommended Exposure Limit (REL) of 0.05 mg/m3 for respirable crystalline silica, based on a
10-hour time-weighted average.
Engineering Controls
The hazard associated with fiber cement arises from crystalline silica present in the dust generated by
activities such as cutting, machining, drilling, routing, sawing, crushing, or otherwise abrading fiber
cement, and when cleaning up, disposing of or moving the dust. When doing any of these activities in
a manner that generates dust you must (1) comply with the OSHA standard for silica dust and/or
other applicable law, (2) follow James Hardie cutting instructions to reduce or limit the release of
dust; (3) warn others in the immediate work area to avoid breathing the dust; (4) when using
mechanical saw or high speed cutting tools, work outdoors and use dust collection equipment; and
(5) if no other dust controls are available, wear a dust mask or respirator that meets NIOSH
requirements (e.g. N-95 dust mask). During clean-up, use a well maintained vacuum and filter
appropriate for capturing fine (respirable) dust or use wet clean-up methods - never dry sweep
Cutting Outdoors 1.Position cutting station so that wind will blow dust away
from user or others in working area and allow for ample
dust dissipation
2.Use one of the following methods based on job site
conditions and local regulation:
BEST
Score and snap using carbide-tipped scoring
knife or utility knife
Fiber-cement shears (electric or pneumatic)
BETTER
Circular saw equipped with Hardieblade® saw
blade and dust collection system
GOOD
Circular saw with Hardieblade® saw blade and
supplemental ventilation
Page 94 of 108
Page 6 of 10
Date of Issue: 05/24/21
Cutting Indoors Cut only using score and snap method or with
fiber-cement shears (manual, electric or
pneumatic)
Position cutting station in well-ventilated area to
allow for dust dissipation
Sanding / Grinding / Drilling /
Other Machining
If sanding, grinding, drilling or other machining is necessary, you
should always wear a NIOSH-approved dust mask or respirator
(e.g. N-95) and warn others in the immediate area.
Clean-Up During clean-up of dust and debris, wet debris down with a fine
water mist, apply a dust reducing sweeping compound in
sufficient quantities, or use a vacuum to collect dust and debris.
NEVER used compressed air or dry sweep without first applying a
dust reducing control measure.
Personal Protective Equipment
Respiratory – If respirators are selected, use and maintain in accordance with ANSI
Standard (Z88.2) for particulate respirators. Select respirators based on the level of
exposure to crystalline silica as measured through exposure monitoring. Use
respirators that offer protection to the highest concentrations of crystalline silica if
the actual concentrations are unknown. Put in place a respiratory protection and
monitoring program that complies with MSHA or OSHA (e.g. 29CFR1910.134)
standards, which include provisions for a user training program, respirator repair and
cleaning, respirator fit-testing and other requirements. Comply with all other
applicable federal and state laws.
Eye – When cutting material, dust resistant safety goggles / glasses should be worn
and used in compliance with ANSI Standard Z87.1 and applicable OSHA (e.g.
29CFR1910.133) standards.
Skin – Loose comfortable clothing should be worn. Direct skin contact with dust and
debris should be avoided by wearing long sleeved shirts and long trousers, a cap or
hat, and gloves. Work clothes should be washed regularly.

Section 11. Toxicological Information
Routes of exposure: Fiber-cement is not toxic in its intact form. The following applies to dust
that may be generated during cutting, grinding , drilling, routing, sawing,
crushing or otherwise abrading fiber cement.
Related symptoms: Repeated and prolonged overexposures to dust containing crystalline
silica can cause silicosis (scarring of the lung) and increases the risk of
bronchitis, tuberculosis, lung cancer, renal disease and scleroderma (a
disease affecting the connective tissue of the skin, joints, blood vessels
and internal organs). Some studies suggest that cigarette smoking
increases the risk of silicosis, bronchitis, and lung cancer in persons also
exposed to crystalline silica. Acute silicosis is a rapidly progressive,
incurable lung disease that is typically fatal. Symptoms include, but are
not limited to: shortness of breath, cough, fever, weight-loss and chest
pain. Such exposure may cause pneumoconiosis and pulmonary fibrosis.
The following relates to health effects of cellulose: Based on limited
animal research, it is possible that repeated chronic inhalation exposure
to cellulose fiber dust over time may lead to inflammation and scarring
of the lung in humans. Precautions taken for crystalline silica dust will
protect against cellulose.
Medical conditions generally aggravated by exposure – Pulmonary
function may be reduced by inhalation of respirable crystalline silica
and/or cellulose. If lung scarring occurs, such scarring could aggravate
other lung conditions such as asthma, emphysema, pneumonia or
restrictive lung diseases. Lung scarring from crystalline silica may also
increase risks to pulmonary tuberculosis.
Smoking – some studies suggest that cigarette smoking increases the
risk of occupational respiratory diseases, including silica-related
respiratory diseases.
