Ms. 011ie stated that pursuant to the Attorney General's opinion KP-0105
regarding a conflict of interest, the City Council has directed staff to draft an
amendment to the Rules and Procedures of the HRC that reflect the board in
an advisory capacity only.
Adoption of Ordinance 2013-17 set forth the powers and duties of the
Commission and gave final approval on certain matters to the board. At the

direction was given to modify the rules that would restrict the responsibilities
of the HRC and bring it into conformance with Chapter 171 of the Texas
Local Government Code.

currently through the City, but property owners could reach out to Collin
County as well as the State.

Staff Presentation
Ms. 011ie stated that the request is to install 7-1/4" LP Smartsiding in lieu of
the required 4" — 5" width wood or composite masonry with a wood pattern
siding. In accordance with Section 6.3.E.5.f, renovation to existing residential
structures should use materials which are compatible with the existing
residential structure. Adherence to these material standards are encouraged
where appropriate and/or possible. The applicant states that cost restraints
prevent the installation of similar materials that match the existing 3"-3-1/2"
wood siding.
According to Collin County Appraisal District Records the total area of the
building is 5,950 square feet. Commercial structures can be used for
commercial and residential uses, if they occupy less than forty percent of the
floor area of the building. The applicant is proposing to remodel
approximately 1,400 square foot for residential purposes, which is less than
twenty-five percent of the total floor area.
Board Discussion
Mr. Rod Staring, applicant/contractor of property, began the work to repair
damages to the house due to the April 11 hail storm. He stated that the house
had not been taken care of over the years and several changes have taken
place to both the interior and exterior.
r The Commission expressed their concern with the size of the siding in that it
did not meet the historic style of the house. They commented that the house
was not just in a historic district, but was indeed a historic house (Sears &
Roebuck) and want to preserve the historic character of the house.
Board Action
A motion was made by Commissioner Taylor, and seconded by
Commissioner Stone, to recommend denial to install 7-1/4" siding to property
located 201 E. Jefferson Street. Motion carried 7—0.
ADJOURNMENT
A motion was made by Commissioner Stone, seconded by Commissioner Pugh to
adjourn the meeting at 6:48pm. All Commissioners were in consensus.
