Letter of Intent (Revised 5.25.2021)
1710 S. Main Street, Georgetown, TX
A detailed description of the proposed project: 1) Demolition of garage and carport, which sit on the back end
of the property and construction of new garage. 2) Addition of one dormer to the right side of the existing
house roof and addition of one dormer to the left side of the existing house roof.
GARAGE (DEMOLISH AND NEW CONSTRUTION) & CARPORT (DEMOLISH)
Current Condition: The existing garage and carport are not in reasonable enough condition to repair and
have been in such a state since we purchased several years ago. Conditions that
preclude repair include:
- A neighbor tree, which is mature, is growing up through the back wall
- A side wall has slipped out of place and no longer provides support to be structurally
sound or safe
- Extensive termite damage throughout
- Extensive rotting and patchwork throughout
- Built on the property line so there is no opportunity to access the back and one side
for maintenance.
- A neighbor chain link fence is built right up on the back of the garage making access
impossible for maintenance.
Usage: This new structure will serve as garage and workshop.
Design: The new structure will be built to match the house with a matching jerkinhead style
dormer as seen on the front of our house. It will not be taller than the house. We
currently have zero lot line on the back and right side of the garage. We would like to
change that to a two-foot setback, so we have room to maintain. We realize this may be
an exception which, if so, we would ask for. We do have neighbors who have rebuilt
garages and received such an exception, and we are hoping for the same type of
permission.
Materials: See attached Materials Page. The siding and roofing will match the material on the
existing house. The front of the garage, which is the only part that is visible from the
street, will feature a double swing style garage door, centered with the existing
driveway.
DORMERS (ADD 2 DORMERS, 1 RIGHT SIDE/1 LEFT SIDE, TO THE EXISTING HOUSE ROOF)
Current Condition: We have almost no closet or storage space. To avoid any increase in impervious cover
by building “out” and increasing the house footprint, we would like to utilize our attic
space for storage and wish to add dormers to maximize that space and provide light.
Usage: Storage and light.
Page 7 of 11
Design: Jerkinhead style dormers to match front design of existing house. Estimate approx. 10
feet long and feature two windows styled to match existing historic windows on house.
Materials: See attached Materials Page. The siding and roofing will match the material on the
existing house. The windows on the dormers would be modern windows but would be a
design that looks as close to our many historic windows as possible.
Explanation as to how the request meets the approval criteria/guidelines: We will be decreasing our
impervious cover from what it is right now and rather than expanding our footprint, have devised a solution that
will give us the storage space we need. The general historic, cultural, and architectural integrity of the building,
structure and site remains preserved. The new garage and dormers are designed to be compatible with
surrounding properties. The overall character of the applicable historic overlay district is protected. The height
of the new garage does not compete with neighbors or obstruct views.
GARAGE/CARPORT PHOTOS:

showing jerkinhead style dormer on house which would begin approx. 5 feet past back of house.

DORMERS PHOTOS:
Left side of house. Dormer would sit middle to Right side of house. Dormer would sit middle
back of house, set back from existing side porch of house depending on engineering requirements.
This is an example of the Jerkinhead style dormer that would be designed to match the front of the house.

Thank you for your consideration. We are available to answer any questions you may have and are open to
suggestions to help us maintain the historical integrity of our home and the district.
