Staff Presentation
On January 22, 2015, the Board considered the request for a new residential
structure, and tabled the item for the applicant to allow the applicant time to
resubmit by adding the fish scale design on the gable portion of the roof; the
historic design for the windows and doors, and additional columns to the
porch. Other than these revisions, the design stays the same.
Board Discussion
Mr. Steve Allman, United Bilt Homes, 1250 E 1-20, Terrell, Texas, the
architect for the subject property reviewed the changes with the
Commissioners to give historic character that was requested by the Board. As
well adding the fish scale design for the roof, a second donner was added to
give more architecture. On the sides and back the roof pitch went from a
12:12 pitch to an 8:12 pitch, with 18 inch overhang. The doors are Victorian
style for the front. The windows were changed to transom panels. Changing
the porch to larger, having difficult time with doing a four foot porch, due to
cost and setbacks.
Mr. Kenneth Steen, property owner for the subject property, expanding the
porch will destroy the usability of the floor plan. There are no regulations for "',
the size of the porch within the ordinance.
Ms. 011ie stated that the Board can direct Staff to revise the ordinance to
address specific styles, clear and concise details for design new residential
structures. The ordinance was really written for commercial downtown, and
not residential structures or renovating existing residential structures.
Chair Spillyards stated that the intent of the Historic Board was seeking the
new residential structure to blend in within the Downtown Historic District.
All Commissioners expressed their appreciation to the applicants for revisions
that was made from previous meeting.
Board Action
A motion was made by Commissioner Heath, Jr., and seconded by
Commissioner Wakefield, to approve the Site Plan 100 E Brown. Motion
carried 6—0.
The Commissioners directed Staff to place on the Agenda for the next
scheduled meeting a work session to discuss the revisions for Article 6 New
Residential Structures Design Standards. .-.
