WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.000
Thank you. All right. We have time to call the meeting of

00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:08.439
the Historic Landmark Commission

00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:13.189
to order on August 10th, 2026. It is 530. If you will

00:00:13.189 --> 00:00:18.960
please stand before me to do my

00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:22.019
pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of

00:00:22.019 --> 00:00:24.399
the United States of America

00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:29.199
and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under

00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:31.839
God, indivisible, with liberty

00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:36.799
and justice for all. Honor the Texas flag. I pledge

00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:40.880
allegiance to the Texas, one state

00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:44.320
under God, one and indivisible.

00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:45.520
Wave all.

00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:48.000
I was going to just leave that because I need that.

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:48.880
Oh, sorry.

00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:54.960
No, I was waiting for you to do that. I'm just going to

00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:54.960
give you the floor for that.

00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:59.829
That's right. All right. I do not see anyone from the

00:00:59.829 --> 00:01:02.960
public to speak, so we will move

00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:07.950
on with that. We're going to move on to our next item for

00:01:07.950 --> 00:01:11.680
consideration is HLC 26-043

00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:15.870
to approve the minutes of the July 13th, 2026 Historic Land

00:01:15.870 --> 00:01:18.480
mark Commission regular meeting.

00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:21.439
I move for approval as submitted.

00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:22.000
Okay.

00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:22.640
I will second.

00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:25.680
One of the John's will second you, John.

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:30.569
All right. We have approval and a motion to approve as

00:01:30.569 --> 00:01:32.879
written and a second. All in favor,

00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:36.540
raise your hand. Any right votes? Okay. Any amendments for

00:01:36.540 --> 00:01:36.879
that?

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:44.840
All right. The next item on our agenda is to consider COA

00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.519
26-00002

00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:51.319
to hold the public meeting and consider an application for

00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:53.120
certificate of appropriateness

00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:57.010
in accordance with section 2.9.2 of the Denton Development

00:01:57.010 --> 00:01:59.120
Code to restore the awning at the

00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:05.189
commercial building located at 118-120 North Locust Street.

00:02:05.189 --> 00:02:07.280
This site is located on the east side of

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.639
North Locust Street between East Oak Street and East Hick

00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:13.120
ory Street within the Denton Square District.

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:15.759
All right. Thank you, Chair.

00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:19.110
Sure. At least we don't have the podium, so it's going to

00:02:19.110 --> 00:02:20.240
be a little boring for a while.

00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:26.229
As stated, this is 118-120 North Locust Street, also known

00:02:26.229 --> 00:02:28.000
as the Downtown Mini Ball 2.

00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:32.060
It is located on the east side of the square. It is located

00:02:32.060 --> 00:02:33.759
within the Denton Square District.

00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:37.409
It is also a local landmark as well as a contributing

00:02:37.409 --> 00:02:38.240
property to the National

00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:41.610
Register Historic District of the square. The applicant is

00:02:41.610 --> 00:02:43.439
Shirley Will and the construction

00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:48.419
date was circa 1913. So this is just a little bit about the

00:02:48.419 --> 00:02:51.680
property and its alterations over time.

00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:55.840
We have the 1938 property when it was the plate lunch. We

00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:00.080
also have our 1940s photo where we see

00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.849
that thicker banding along the awning, some change there.

00:03:03.849 --> 00:03:07.439
2024, which I think most people are most

00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:11.780
familiar with, and then present day without the awning

00:03:11.780 --> 00:03:14.879
itself. So the request is to install a

00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:18.599
new awning where the former awning once was. Currently the

00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:20.639
design or the design does show

00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:24.300
it is compatible with the current design and layout of the

00:03:24.300 --> 00:03:26.000
property, but it does have a new

00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:30.210
banding design around those edges. The materials will

00:03:30.210 --> 00:03:33.520
continue to be the roll-formed aluminum canopy

00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:37.550
and then the steel support rods. These are just some of the

00:03:37.550 --> 00:03:40.960
framing plans. So it's 8 by 52 feet,

00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:45.259
so it is quite large, but those are the current or the

00:03:45.259 --> 00:03:48.000
former designs and boundaries or just

00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:51.370
dimensions of that awning. Same dimensions as what was

00:03:51.370 --> 00:03:52.879
previously there, I guess.

00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:56.759
So looking at staff's analysis, it did look at the

00:03:56.759 --> 00:04:00.319
standards for rehabilitation, specifically

00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.979
Criterion 9, which is talking about exterior alterations

00:04:03.979 --> 00:04:05.520
that do not destroy the historic

00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:08.389
materials, features, or spatial relationship that's

00:04:08.389 --> 00:04:10.319
characterized the property, but the

00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:14.969
new work will be differentiated from the old. Staff also

00:04:14.969 --> 00:04:18.240
looked at Section 410-7, which is

00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:21.120
part of the Denton Square District, specifically looking at

00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:23.360
fenestration, glazing, entry standards,

00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:28.160
and under that is the awnings. So staff is recommending

00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.360
approval as submitted for the COA

00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:35.860
to restore the awning at 118 120 North Locust Street as it

00:04:35.860 --> 00:04:37.759
meets our Secretary of Interiors

00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:41.470
for Standards of Rehabilitation in Section 410-7, which is

00:04:41.470 --> 00:04:43.040
the Denton Square District.

00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:46.079
And I can stand for any questions. I have two questions.

00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:48.639
Yes. One, if I'm understanding

00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:51.829
correctly, it still looks slightly different than the one

00:04:51.829 --> 00:04:54.240
that is replacing, but same basic look?

00:04:54.240 --> 00:05:01.500
Yes. Okay. Second question, do we know when, I guess, the

00:05:01.500 --> 00:05:04.399
prior awning was put in with like

00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:08.810
one of that look? So... You showed us two other examples

00:05:08.810 --> 00:05:12.160
that were older. It obviously is after

00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:18.230
1940. Do we have any idea when? Unfortunately, I looked

00:05:18.230 --> 00:05:21.360
into it. I couldn't find any historic

00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:25.879
documentation showing when it changed, but the applicant

00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:27.920
did say that they were trying to go

00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.930
something that was reflective of the 1940s, because that's

00:05:30.930 --> 00:05:32.319
the period of significance for

00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:36.779
that historic district, is early 1900s, the 1940s, but they

00:05:36.779 --> 00:05:39.199
didn't want to obviously copy it exactly.

00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.480
I mean, it's been there since at least the 80s. Yeah. I

00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.399
know that much, but I can't say more than

00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.980
all. Okay. So we don't know how old the awning was that

00:05:48.980 --> 00:05:52.240
they installed, that fell down and collapsed?

00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.220
No, we don't know when that was installed. We don't know

00:05:54.220 --> 00:05:54.959
when that was installed,

00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.610
because that was installed before we had any... We didn't

00:05:57.610 --> 00:06:01.519
have the other... So in terms of...

00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.160
It could have been the 1940s awning with that additional

00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:07.519
banding removed. It could have been

00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:12.089
the 1938. It could have been the 1938. It does look very

00:06:12.089 --> 00:06:14.240
similar to the 1938 style,

00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:17.459
and then the 1940s might have included a banding, but like

00:06:17.459 --> 00:06:18.720
I said, I didn't find any

00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:24.240
strong documentation between the 1940s. And if you go to

00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:27.759
2007, it looks exactly what you saw in 2024.

00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:32.949
But I will take your own knowledge, because if you grew up

00:06:32.949 --> 00:06:34.879
coming to the square and you have that

00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:38.250
knowledge, it looks similar to what you know. But as I

00:06:38.250 --> 00:06:40.399
stated, kind of looking at that standards

00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.519
for rehabilitation, we don't want to do necessarily like

00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:45.839
for like. They want to add the awning back,

00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:48.689
be compatible with the square, be compatible with the

00:06:48.689 --> 00:06:52.240
structure itself. But we don't want it to be...

00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.490
Because we don't have... They're not looking at all the

00:06:56.490 --> 00:06:58.399
historic photographs and evidence.

00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.490
They're going for more, let's get that awning back in place

00:07:02.490 --> 00:07:04.240
versus let's do a reconstruction,

00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:08.800
which is where you have to pick the specific year and say,

00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:10.000
we have all the documentation.

00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:12.480
Totally understand that. I'm not asking that. I'm actually

00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:14.879
... What my concern is, they collapsed in

00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:19.250
the first place, and how old was it, and do they even know?

00:07:19.250 --> 00:07:21.360
And so part of this has to do with the

00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:25.449
structural integrity around the square that's not going to

00:07:25.449 --> 00:07:28.000
be a problem. So I understand what they're

00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:31.279
doing. I grew up on a farm and I understand what those

00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.040
rolled bands of aluminum are.

00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:38.300
That's a barn top. And I know exactly why that was put in

00:07:38.300 --> 00:07:40.959
during the late '30s, '40s.

00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:47.920
I think we need something a little bit more than just like

00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.439
a rolling aluminum band top.

00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.870
We're not dealing with like a 1940s Huckleberry town

00:07:56.870 --> 00:08:00.319
anymore. I don't know. I'm going to throw

00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:04.720
this out to commissioners. I'm just a little concerned

00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:07.680
about its collapse in the first place.

00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:12.120
And I don't know. I want to see something that's going to

00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:14.000
be a little more secure

00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:17.920
and something that's maybe a little bit more durable than

00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:20.800
the bare minimum.

00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.000
I will state in the backup, there is the structural report.

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:26.160
They had to do a structural report because

00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:29.970
of insurance and to collect insurance they had to show why

00:08:29.970 --> 00:08:32.000
it failed, how they are going to replace

00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:35.220
it. But that is provided in the backup. And I assume they

00:08:35.220 --> 00:08:36.960
have to have a permit for it.

00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:41.009
I'm not in a position to judge structural integrity. I don

00:08:41.009 --> 00:08:42.159
't have a degree in that.

00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:47.330
But I hear what you're saying. It looked like in the photo,

00:08:47.330 --> 00:08:49.440
like it was ice.

00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:55.139
It was ice filled up to exactly what happened. Yeah, but it

00:08:55.139 --> 00:08:57.120
looks to me like maybe in the

00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:04.029
new one that seems a little bit more structurally sound.

00:09:04.029 --> 00:09:06.559
Just the frames around it and all you don't

00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:13.110
see in the other. We can't tell that from the diagram, but

00:09:13.110 --> 00:09:15.440
I would assume there's a front

00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:17.940
gutter this time. There wasn't a gutter previously, so they

00:09:17.940 --> 00:09:19.519
are going to be adding a front gutter.

00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:22.299
That was slide off. For drainage. A little more inclination

00:09:22.299 --> 00:09:26.240
. I read this appointment material.

00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:28.960
They're going to have a little bit more of an incline.

00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:35.690
But I just have concerns. It's like something a little bit

00:09:35.690 --> 00:09:36.000
more.

00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:42.399
I think valid concern there too, Mr. Treat. My question is

00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:44.879
for staff.

00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:52.419
As far as structural design, engineering design for the

00:09:52.419 --> 00:09:53.679
safety for that,

00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:59.629
is that done with permits? Like do we know before it comes

00:09:59.629 --> 00:10:01.759
to us, do we know if that's approved with

00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:08.470
staff at the city? Because I think it's very concerning. So

00:10:08.470 --> 00:10:09.919
that goes through the building

00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:13.350
safety. So this is the step you have to, HLC has to review

00:10:13.350 --> 00:10:15.600
before they even go for building permits.

00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:18.730
And that's how the process is set up within the code. That

00:10:18.730 --> 00:10:20.559
's why I'm trying to put in that note

00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:23.450
whenever they go in there, because if they need supporting

00:10:23.450 --> 00:10:25.440
poles or something a little bit more

00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:30.190
than that rolling aluminum barn top. You see what I mean? I

00:10:30.190 --> 00:10:31.600
want them to know.

00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:34.580
I want them to know is like we've seen this and I'm a

00:10:34.580 --> 00:10:36.399
little worried about it.

00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:39.769
So I think a difference if maybe to explain it as far as

00:10:39.769 --> 00:10:44.159
aesthetics. Okay, but the structure and

00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:47.809
things when we approve something to say, oh we're totally

00:10:47.809 --> 00:10:50.159
fine with it for us to look at the safety

00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:53.960
of it because the ice and snow is going to happen again.

00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:56.720
Those top supports that go into the brick,

00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:59.570
you know how old that brick is? Yes. You see what I'm

00:10:59.570 --> 00:11:03.279
saying? And this is one of the reasons that

00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:06.169
the failure happened. I mean it's in the report and they're

00:11:06.169 --> 00:11:08.320
going to fix it. I have fixes. I understand.

00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:13.100
But my concern, I just want to be very clear so that

00:11:13.100 --> 00:11:15.279
whenever inspection and safety come in,

00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.559
I'm like if you need to make additional recommendations

00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:19.759
that are more up to par

00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:24.649
beyond just our surface appearance things, please go. But

00:11:24.649 --> 00:11:27.840
we can approve with conditions as well.

00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:32.350
So we can make a recommendation approved with conditions.

00:11:32.350 --> 00:11:36.320
Okay. As a commission we can do that.

00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:40.740
And I think that it's valid. Thank you for bringing that up

00:11:40.740 --> 00:11:42.639
. Any other discussion?

00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:46.399
Thoughts?

00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:55.580
So I, we would, you have to take a formal vote and I think

00:11:55.580 --> 00:11:59.600
if you all are comfortable with doing

00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:02.970
approve with conditions, I'm very comfortable with you all

00:12:02.970 --> 00:12:05.200
doing that, but you all have to

00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.169
specifically state what that condition is so that either

00:12:09.169 --> 00:12:11.360
building safety knows what to look for

00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:15.840
moving forward or I'll give out some examples. You could

00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:19.120
say if you all have to change the supports

00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.210
and everything when you go to building safety, you need to

00:12:22.210 --> 00:12:24.720
come back for a final HLC review

00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:29.960
if it's going to change the look and final design. Or you

00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:33.519
can say, you know, we want to,

00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:36.659
building safety needs to do X, Y, and Z to ensure that it

00:12:36.659 --> 00:12:38.399
can be supported with the current design.

00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:42.059
So I think you just kind of need to put that into your, I

00:12:42.059 --> 00:12:44.480
guess here, right here. It needs to be,

00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:47.330
that needs to be read. So it needs to be staff recommends

00:12:47.330 --> 00:12:49.759
approval with conditions,

00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:53.149
list the condition and then the rest of it. So since I'm

00:12:53.149 --> 00:12:54.399
the one that's complaining,

00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:59.639
laughing, I'll put my name on it. Can you hold that thought

00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:00.960
for just one second?

00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:04.960
Only because I think, do we have a question or a question?

00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:07.200
Okay. So if you'll, can you just?

00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:10.389
I have a question before we make a recommendation. Okay. So

00:13:10.389 --> 00:13:12.720
working in architecture in Colorado,

00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:16.080
I know that there's building codes, specifically you have

00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:19.279
to like calculate for snow loads.

00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:21.940
But I would imagine the code that we use here doesn't have

00:13:21.940 --> 00:13:23.600
to take into consideration. Does

00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:28.009
it make sense for the recommendation to like, cause if the

00:13:28.009 --> 00:13:30.799
concern is specifically like the weight

00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:35.210
of whatever is going to be on it, which is the weather. So

00:13:35.210 --> 00:13:38.879
they operate by the 2021 international

00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:42.539
building code. So I would assume that as part of their

00:13:42.539 --> 00:13:44.639
analysis in terms of the load factor

00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:47.139
when it comes to the audience being implemented, but I

00:13:47.139 --> 00:13:48.960
cannot necessarily speak for buildings.

00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:51.809
Yeah. That's not kind of my purview. So, but I think it's a

00:13:51.809 --> 00:13:52.960
great, it's a great map.

00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:59.179
Well, they do include ground snow load by PSF and roof

00:13:59.179 --> 00:14:03.200
light load of 20 PSF. So it looks to me like

00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:07.139
they have sometimes though. Well, I guess I don't know if

00:14:07.139 --> 00:14:09.200
this is not, it's not my expertise,

00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:14.120
but I wouldn't like in Colorado, those would be potentially

00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:17.279
of a higher rate. Right. And so if we're

00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:20.710
factoring in for this, maybe happening more regularly,

00:14:20.710 --> 00:14:23.120
maybe we're trying to have 20 pounds

00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:28.360
of square foot. It only has to fail once. Yeah. Yeah. 20

00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:30.559
pounds per square foot is pretty low,

00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:35.549
which would be a historical Texas. Right. Right. But that's

00:14:35.549 --> 00:14:37.679
not what this event was,

00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:40.970
but this event was also, if you're taking into account that

00:14:40.970 --> 00:14:42.639
the supports on that were over

00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:47.120
Jesus Christ, how many, how many decades old, right?

00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:53.019
I don't know how to work that in, but it was to ask them to

00:14:53.019 --> 00:14:54.720
do that. And now I mean, what if we,

00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:58.799
specifically, I'm not sure it's our purview to set specific

00:14:58.799 --> 00:14:59.039
like

00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:04.039
requirements, but I'm wondering if we could at least put in

00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:04.559
there,

00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:09.120
keep in mind this is a high traffic area, like, you know,

00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:10.559
that sort of thing.

00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:17.320
That would suggest whatever maybe heightened standards

00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:19.919
could be applied, maybe should be.

00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:22.000
We don't set the metric that we ask them to pay attention

00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:23.840
to whatever metrics they set.

00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:28.220
Right. But I do like the idea of if there need to be any

00:15:28.220 --> 00:15:30.080
structural changes,

00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:32.929
it needs to come back before us. If it affects the

00:15:32.929 --> 00:15:33.840
aesthetics of all this.

00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:37.039
Did you have a question? Pretty much take care of this.

00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:46.519
Any other thoughts? I will say this too. We have several

00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:49.279
options. We can approve as presented.

00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:53.870
We can be flat denied. We can approve with conditions. I

00:15:53.870 --> 00:15:55.840
believe we can table.

00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:58.879
You can table and continue to date certain.

00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:02.250
And we can do that. So we have, I just want to lay that out

00:16:02.250 --> 00:16:04.159
before we get a motion that those are

00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:10.850
choices that we have. So at this time, pressure treat, if

00:16:10.850 --> 00:16:11.840
you do have a pause,

00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:16.080
you so I'm going to unpause you. Thank you for that. It's

00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:16.960
always valuable.

00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:25.889
Because I do think that we can approve with conditions. It

00:16:25.889 --> 00:16:26.480
's not that I'm

00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:30.539
reticent about staff recommendations and the standards that

00:16:30.539 --> 00:16:32.080
have been set forth.

00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:38.279
I just want to make sure that we, as a commission, give a

00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:40.399
little extra license

00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:44.620
to have another look, look at this. Because again, I will

00:16:44.620 --> 00:16:45.519
just reinforce,

00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.710
I'm very concerned that it failed the way it did. We're

00:16:48.710 --> 00:16:51.279
lucky that no one was there,

00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:55.929
but at a high traffic area, et cetera, I would like a

00:16:55.929 --> 00:16:59.440
second look. And so

00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:04.990
I really appreciate the ideas that we need to maybe re-ex

00:17:04.990 --> 00:17:07.599
amine the loads and ask

00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:11.259
for city staff recommendations and maybe bring it back just

00:17:11.259 --> 00:17:13.279
because appearance wise.

00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:20.400
Okay. I'm willing to go with the role Barnertot, but yeah,

00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:22.000
I'm worried about the load factors.

00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:24.640
And I just want to make sure that city staff knows that

00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:25.759
they have our support,

00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:29.450
that if they need to recommend more, we're also thinking

00:17:29.450 --> 00:17:31.359
along those same lines. So

00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:38.670
if I'm making a motion, it's to approve with conditions and

00:17:38.670 --> 00:17:40.960
the conditions are twofold.

00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:48.799
First of all, to examine the load bearing factors. And

00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:52.160
number two, to question if there might be

00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:57.710
additional structure supports that would make this extra

00:17:57.710 --> 00:18:01.279
safe, that would come from city staff and

00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:07.519
engineers. Anything to add? And I'm open to any time.

00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:09.200
You wanted to come back before us.

00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:13.549
And for it to come back just for us to have it, just a

00:18:13.549 --> 00:18:16.960
blush look at what would that look like?

00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:20.359
Because I do understand that if we're adding additional

00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:22.720
supports, we might be running a little

00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:28.000
bit afoul of the traditional look. Does that make sense?

00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:29.519
Like we have like lower supports

00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:35.589
that might run afoul to the upper supports. I'm trying to,

00:18:35.589 --> 00:18:38.559
so that I will be quite honest,

00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:41.680
I don't think I've ever gotten to approve with conditions

00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:45.359
in terms of, I guess, tabling it for

00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:50.259
staff to do additional analysis. I think that's what it

00:18:50.259 --> 00:18:52.240
sounds like, at least from my perspective,

00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:56.210
is that we're doing approval conditions because the request

00:18:56.210 --> 00:18:57.680
is to do additional,

00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:00.859
is it building safety to do these analyses? And if they are

00:19:00.859 --> 00:19:02.960
concerned that it's not going to be able

00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:05.990
to support it based off what they're recommending, that

00:19:05.990 --> 00:19:09.200
they then need to come back to HLC? Or is it,

00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:11.539
if staff doesn't find any issues that they can continue

00:19:11.539 --> 00:19:13.519
onwards without coming back to HLC?

00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:16.180
Or do you all want to hear? So I think that's kind of where

00:19:16.180 --> 00:19:19.200
I'm getting held up because from my

00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:23.289
perspective, loads, all that kind of stuff, that doesn't

00:19:23.289 --> 00:19:25.599
fall within my personal purview. I'm just

00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:29.319
worried about the design. But the design, if the loads, why

00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:32.079
don't they bring it back?

00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:35.450
So would it make more sense to table it and request some

00:19:35.450 --> 00:19:39.039
additional analysis on whether

00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:42.089
structural changes need to be made to be consistent with

00:19:42.089 --> 00:19:43.599
what John's trying to do?

00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:46.450
I think we would just need to do it, continue to a date

00:19:46.450 --> 00:19:48.400
certain, and that would be the next

00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:52.109
meeting in September, which I believe is September, Lindsay

00:19:52.109 --> 00:19:53.119
, I'm so sorry,

00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:59.019
I think the 14th, I believe, 13th or 14th. In that case, I

00:19:59.019 --> 00:20:00.400
would draw my motion.

00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:04.079
September 14th. John, if you want to do it a little better.

00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:09.420
So would you be withdrawing your motion? I'll withdraw my

00:20:09.420 --> 00:20:11.200
motion for the approved with

00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:19.119
conditions. I'll defer to Dr. Homey if you want to table.

00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:23.869
I guess I'll make a motion to table this, our consideration

00:20:23.869 --> 00:20:24.400
of this item,

00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:30.829
to give city staff, engineers, whatever, an opportunity to

00:20:30.829 --> 00:20:34.240
evaluate the conditions,

00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:38.089
whether structural changes need to be made in order to make

00:20:38.089 --> 00:20:39.759
it safe.

00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:44.700
Can you add table till September 14th? I guess I'm happy to

00:20:44.700 --> 00:20:45.759
do so.

00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:50.480
Thank you. All right, can we do we have a second?

00:20:55.519 --> 00:21:00.930
Before calling for a vote, can I read some of this? 10.0

00:21:00.930 --> 00:21:04.319
structural design philosophy, rather than

00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:07.690
replicate the original connection system exactly, the

00:21:07.690 --> 00:21:10.640
replacement design will improve the load path

00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:14.369
into the masonry while preserving the building's appearance

00:21:14.369 --> 00:21:17.359
. The design philosophy includes

00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:22.170
distributed reactions into the masonry through bolt through

00:21:22.170 --> 00:21:25.279
bolted connections with steel backing

00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:29.839
plates for practical reduced localized bearing stresses,

00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:33.359
increased connection redundancy,

00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:39.430
maintainability and compatibility construction. 11.0 is

00:21:39.430 --> 00:21:43.039
existing masonry evaluation prior to

00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:46.730
installation. The engineer shall verify wall thickness,

00:21:46.730 --> 00:21:49.200
brick condition, water condition,

00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:52.980
presence of voids, existing cracks, previous repairs,

00:21:52.980 --> 00:21:55.519
moisture damage, corrosion of embedded

00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:59.650
steel. Installation shall not proceed until deteriorated m

00:21:59.650 --> 00:22:01.599
asonry has been repaired.

00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:06.349
Just feel like, well, and then there's even more repair

00:22:06.349 --> 00:22:09.599
requirements in general notes. I feel like

00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:13.940
they have it brassed along with this. I would agree, but

00:22:13.940 --> 00:22:16.720
even that masonry repair should be coming

00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:21.960
to us, should it not? Yes. So that's what kind of gave me a

00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:25.599
red flag as well. So when

00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:28.210
Commissioner Treat says if that changes it needs to come

00:22:28.210 --> 00:22:30.400
back to us and I just want to make sure

00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:34.309
because it says that that us approving it's not giving a

00:22:34.309 --> 00:22:37.039
blanket for them, oh we can just do that

00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:40.220
now because that for the masonry if it is on the outside

00:22:40.220 --> 00:22:42.480
that has to come before us as well.

00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:52.029
So exactly. Exactly. Okay. So I'm going to, I'll go ahead

00:22:52.029 --> 00:22:56.079
and say my concern is with the material

00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:59.490
as far as the looks and things that parents, I think it's

00:22:59.490 --> 00:23:01.359
in line. I don't have a problem with

00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:06.829
that, but my concern is the safety with it being it looks

00:23:06.829 --> 00:23:10.799
like galvanized metal, you know, like

00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:13.980
and I'm wondering if with some of those structures that we

00:23:13.980 --> 00:23:14.960
have does it even

00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:20.460
address that in city code for material, the weight bearing

00:23:20.460 --> 00:23:22.960
for the snow on that material

00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:26.329
because it's different on the roofs than it is for an aw

00:23:26.329 --> 00:23:29.359
ning. You know the same with even the

00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:32.940
awnings that have to clock overall. You've seen those, you

00:23:32.940 --> 00:23:36.400
know, those they can tear too. So

00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:41.640
anyway that that's my concern as well. So I made the motion

00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:43.519
but I still have a question.

00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:49.279
What information do we want to get received from city staff

00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:50.880
that would

00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:58.809
away our concerns? Very good question. Very good question.

00:23:58.809 --> 00:24:01.039
I'm going to get their recommendations

00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:04.700
on load bearing, get their recommendations on what current

00:24:04.700 --> 00:24:08.880
best practices would recommend to make sure

00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:14.259
that safety is primary concern on that. And then second,

00:24:14.259 --> 00:24:16.640
get those involve any type of

00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:21.009
significant alterations that we might have second one. And

00:24:21.009 --> 00:24:22.799
I'm sure they are but I would also like

00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.170
to hear that they are aware of why the previous awning

00:24:26.170 --> 00:24:28.240
failed and the times of the fact that that

00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:31.180
area is much more high traffic than it was at the time of

00:24:31.180 --> 00:24:33.920
the previous awning. And Ms. Fatt, to your point,

00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:36.769
like the recommendations they're making in that and it's

00:24:36.769 --> 00:24:38.240
absolutely those are the things that

00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:43.119
they're looking for or whatever. I just want to ensure that

00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:45.599
that wasn't a going to be a pencil

00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:51.710
check off, send it to us, do it. Right? I want to be like

00:24:51.710 --> 00:24:53.680
we're paying attention.

00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:58.009
I need some assurances you're paying attention. And so we

00:24:58.009 --> 00:25:00.960
can do some assurances right just

00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:04.910
assurance quality control. Perhaps we could also ask and

00:25:04.910 --> 00:25:07.359
obviously they're not particularly doing

00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:12.890
the work but I suppose an engineer maybe could tell us

00:25:12.890 --> 00:25:16.640
based on what this plan is how significant

00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:20.150
are the masonry repairs likely to be right it may be very

00:25:20.150 --> 00:25:22.799
minor you know we may be overthinking it

00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:26.150
I don't know but they may be like no no no this is going to

00:25:26.150 --> 00:25:27.680
be really extensive.

00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:31.319
When we get the backup material my thought was I would have

00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:33.680
liked to dumb for them to come before

00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:37.109
us with all of it at one time. Okay here's the masonry that

00:25:37.109 --> 00:25:39.119
needs to be repaired here's what

00:25:39.119 --> 00:25:42.539
we found is the damage the water damage I was hoping they

00:25:42.539 --> 00:25:44.720
would have already done that then

00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:47.900
us approve it on again then find it for this for the safety

00:25:47.900 --> 00:25:49.920
. Yeah we had a failure we're not just

00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:52.970
addressing a cosmetic thing so there was a failure and

00:25:52.970 --> 00:25:55.119
either the business was negligent or

00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:58.609
city code enforcement's negligent I'm not saying there's

00:25:58.609 --> 00:26:00.799
negligence what I'm saying what I am

00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:04.150
saying is there was a failure and we want to make sure that

00:26:04.150 --> 00:26:07.119
doesn't happen again and that's all.

00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:09.839
So it does feel kind of PCO is what you're saying. That's

00:26:09.839 --> 00:26:12.079
what I'm saying I kind of think it's the

00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:16.109
cart before the horse and I was hoping that we would have

00:26:16.109 --> 00:26:19.680
had that structure first to make sure

00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:24.750
it was sound before we're approving this so I agree with

00:26:24.750 --> 00:26:28.240
tabling it to find out from city staff

00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:31.890
on low bearing and as I would like city staff to know that

00:26:31.890 --> 00:26:34.160
we're not opposed to the material

00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:39.230
that they're using if it is safe and the way that they're

00:26:39.230 --> 00:26:42.000
going to construct it is safe.

00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:48.960
And I will just preface that in terms of the building code

00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:52.559
if it is like a new construction

00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:55.420
if they're wanting they do have to follow obviously the

00:26:55.420 --> 00:26:57.519
2021 international building code

00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:01.329
when it usually comes in historic structures they are more

00:27:01.329 --> 00:27:03.359
lenient obviously they don't want any

00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:08.369
safety hazards or public health issues coming as a factor

00:27:08.369 --> 00:27:11.279
but that might change the design so I

00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:13.150
think it I think it is a good thing that you all are

00:27:13.150 --> 00:27:14.960
wanting to bring it back you know continue

00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:18.329
to attain certain bring it back I will just state that if

00:27:18.329 --> 00:27:20.319
there is concerns with the load

00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:23.509
bearing everything the design could potentially change

00:27:23.509 --> 00:27:26.079
drastically where it might not be historical

00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:29.740
in context. Because what is what we're talking about does

00:27:29.740 --> 00:27:31.759
that give you enough direction or

00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:34.630
would that give you enough direction in terms of

00:27:34.630 --> 00:27:37.759
information needed? Oh yes yeah I can definitely

00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:40.609
bring this to our building safety team and have a full

00:27:40.609 --> 00:27:42.319
discussion I can actually be able to bring

00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:46.130
answers with the presentation. All right so just to recap

00:27:46.130 --> 00:27:49.039
we have a motion we have a second to table

00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:55.670
till September 14th meeting and asking for information from

00:27:55.670 --> 00:27:57.519
city staff on low bearing

00:27:57.519 --> 00:28:02.430
construction safety of of the request and if there are we

00:28:02.430 --> 00:28:05.359
will come back and have a report from them

00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:09.839
all right so all in favor of the motion raise and say aye

00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:12.400
any opposed all right

00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:23.930
all right moving on item 4a number hlc 26-033 on our agenda

00:28:23.930 --> 00:28:25.599
is to hold a discussion regarding

00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:28.880
the next steps of the designation research committee and

00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:31.119
the community outreach subcommittee

00:28:31.119 --> 00:28:34.490
to assist in the establishment of a potential new local

00:28:34.490 --> 00:28:36.799
historic district generally located

00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:40.170
along the north alm street and north locust street

00:28:40.170 --> 00:28:43.119
corridors between west mckinney street and west

00:28:43.119 --> 00:28:51.160
university. So I'm still just like lost in data and

00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:54.079
everything is taking forever but I

00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:56.799
I think I have a couple questions.

00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:04.819
The first I think is I think it I think it might be a good

00:29:04.819 --> 00:29:07.599
idea a good time to start

00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:13.519
picking out some addresses of note the buildings of note

00:29:13.519 --> 00:29:17.839
and I'm certainly willing to take any

00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:21.809
specific suggestions I don't know the best way to do that

00:29:21.809 --> 00:29:24.400
like if they send you suggestions and

00:29:24.400 --> 00:29:27.589
then you just send me yes that yeah that works maybe

00:29:27.589 --> 00:29:31.759
something along those lines and you know

00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:36.190
because I'm going to try I need to find the block the

00:29:36.190 --> 00:29:39.839
census block records to try to track people

00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:43.519
but I mean I think so you know there's a lot of addresses

00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:44.960
we are it's a language that I mean we

00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:48.609
can do but anyway so I think maybe trying to focus in on

00:29:48.609 --> 00:29:51.359
some key addresses spinning wheels is a great

00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:56.599
example. The sleeping lizards building. There may be other

00:29:56.599 --> 00:29:57.279
buildings of interest.

00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:07.259
And maybe ones that you think are representative of that

00:30:07.259 --> 00:30:09.839
area right not just spinning wheels

00:30:09.839 --> 00:30:14.259
because it's spinning wheels right but there's ones that

00:30:14.259 --> 00:30:16.160
architecturally speak to you.

00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:21.609
I think that will help me at least start to maybe have more

00:30:21.609 --> 00:30:23.279
of a product to give you.

00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:27.490
There's a house on the corner the white house I think it's

00:30:27.490 --> 00:30:30.880
on locusts on the corner and it has

00:30:31.599 --> 00:30:36.319
I think it might be an event place right now big two-story.

00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:41.900
I know you know what the one down from ground law house or

00:30:41.900 --> 00:30:43.920
the one like two houses down from ground

00:30:43.920 --> 00:30:47.289
law house is that I think it's it's a wide and they have

00:30:47.289 --> 00:30:49.759
events there and they have parking on

00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:52.329
the side and in the back on the side street you know

00:30:52.329 --> 00:30:54.400
roughly what block that would be in

00:30:54.400 --> 00:30:57.690
or like what intersection oh where joseph's was no it's

00:30:57.690 --> 00:31:00.480
down from joseph okay north north

00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:10.559
is that bed and breakfast I think that might be that's what

00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:11.839
we're next door to joseph where

00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:14.690
joseph's was no except that one but that one too that bed

00:31:14.690 --> 00:31:16.720
breakfast one this one too and this is an

00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:20.380
additional way so just a little bit north of which i'll

00:31:20.380 --> 00:31:23.200
take a look you know another one that might

00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:26.859
be also fun is the building where that artisanal butcher

00:31:26.859 --> 00:31:29.200
just went into the old car dealership

00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:37.019
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah hey john in the um the list or the

00:31:37.019 --> 00:31:42.160
file or the database or something that

00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:46.759
we have are those in any kind of order what do you mean

00:31:46.759 --> 00:31:50.079
hope that just as I just scroll through it

00:31:50.079 --> 00:31:52.950
goes from elm street to first street oh did you send that

00:31:52.950 --> 00:31:55.599
out to everybody yes okay cool um

00:31:57.359 --> 00:32:00.019
I'm not actually sure what that looks like because that's

00:32:00.019 --> 00:32:01.359
not how I work with it but

00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:04.730
I can put it in a better order no it didn't matter I just

00:32:04.730 --> 00:32:07.759
wondered if there was an order yeah

00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:13.119
well I have it on my view I can like I have a clickable map

00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:14.240
so I can literally just click

00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:19.480
on a property and pull out uh what is available for that um

00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:27.119
so if you if there's a better

00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:33.950
organize it you know wait no I just kind of wonder about

00:32:33.950 --> 00:32:39.039
there was yeah um I mean that's yeah and I

00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:43.630
wonder if the meat market is 505 north elm that was once

00:32:43.630 --> 00:32:46.640
owned by what Nats well I would imagine

00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:50.400
the car dealership definitely it's from that which are a

00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:52.799
lot of those buildings right no but

00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:56.529
that's what that was that was didn't bowl before the meat

00:32:56.529 --> 00:32:58.559
market right that's right yeah

00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:03.599
for a multi-nation yeah what's a multi-nation or now it's

00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:07.519
Montgomery bowl or whatever it's changed

00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:14.549
1010 north elm where burger burger dental is 1010 north

00:33:14.549 --> 00:33:17.039
what's there right burger dental

00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:21.420
it's a very new entry ball then I'm sure your interest is

00:33:21.420 --> 00:33:24.400
in it is because he's also my dentist

00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:35.359
just a little bit no I'm not sure you don't have I know um

00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:37.920
yes yeah the motor yeah

00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:44.599
I like that so anyway again so if anyone was a request you

00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:45.920
know right at this moment but if

00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:51.490
you have any other questions I'll try to start because I

00:33:51.490 --> 00:33:55.359
mean I can go I mean you can get lost

00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:58.220
in all these things oh yeah what years at some point I have

00:33:58.220 --> 00:34:00.079
to start showing change over time

00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:06.599
I'd like to thank you I appreciate all the research and the

00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:08.239
work that's been done um

00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:23.800
with this committee okay I was like oh I can't tell you

00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:26.400
guys or your work on it

00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:34.889
all right we're ready to move on item 4b number hlc 26-034

00:34:34.889 --> 00:34:37.199
to receive a report and hold the

00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:40.070
discussion and give staff direction on the historic

00:34:40.070 --> 00:34:42.159
landmark commission request for local

00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:46.099
historic designation of eligible historic properties do we

00:34:46.099 --> 00:34:48.800
have any properties that

00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:53.099
anyone's interested in going forward well the one that I

00:34:53.099 --> 00:34:55.679
had briefly discussed with you right

00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:59.110
it's gonna sounds like it's gonna fall through okay unless

00:34:59.110 --> 00:35:02.000
you have lots of money that you can

00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:15.980
offer so I have some um it's kind of so I have two

00:35:15.980 --> 00:35:18.960
properties that I was doing Texas

00:35:18.960 --> 00:35:22.059
Historic Landmark Visitation Board one of them was Oak

00:35:22.059 --> 00:35:25.360
Street Graph House um it was turned down

00:35:26.719 --> 00:35:30.130
this year and the reason it was turned down is they didn't

00:35:30.130 --> 00:35:32.400
pay their hundred dollar fee on time

00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:41.820
um however I did research that I'll share with city so that

00:35:41.820 --> 00:35:44.719
maybe city can move forward and do

00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:47.909
some type of designation that helps us for this next year's

00:35:47.909 --> 00:35:49.840
application which I've been encouraged

00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:57.769
okay that's great uh the other is a house uh over on uh all

00:35:57.769 --> 00:36:00.719
right um I'll send to you it's one of the

00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:05.079
it's one of the gothic houses that got moved over um and

00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:09.840
Denny okay over in Denny Lindsay

00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:12.710
yes on the Lindsay street that's it I checked piano lessons

00:36:12.710 --> 00:36:16.159
it's the local landmark property

00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:19.530
uh so yes I was working on a designation for him but

00:36:19.530 --> 00:36:22.159
because it had been moved from downtown

00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:26.480
to its current spot it's not eligible until 2027

00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:32.630
and they they told me that they noticed that on my

00:36:32.630 --> 00:36:37.039
application oh okay but it hits its 50 years

00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:41.250
for that move this next year and so I've already done the

00:36:41.250 --> 00:36:44.159
work I want to share that okay with me

00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:49.400
and make sure that we are coming up to talk for this next

00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:49.599
year

00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:56.079
limit I have a problem now okay uh the scalp oh my gosh the

00:36:56.079 --> 00:36:56.719
scalp type

00:36:58.079 --> 00:37:02.909
that by evers part yeah that one oh wow uh they are they're

00:37:02.909 --> 00:37:04.800
already it sounds like they're already

00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:09.099
working towards like state or national designation um and I

00:37:09.099 --> 00:37:11.679
haven't been able to sit down with the

00:37:11.679 --> 00:37:16.030
person in charge of all of that um because of some health

00:37:16.030 --> 00:37:20.639
issues was that moved from it was

00:37:24.159 --> 00:37:28.110
so I know I can't see for certain day I don't want to know

00:37:28.110 --> 00:37:29.280
that news right now okay sorry

00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:33.920
I guess you type it dead and it's immediate negative news

00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:36.800
so okay so where's it it's uh

00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:46.079
steamers park uh right there right there yeah yeah oh okay

00:37:46.079 --> 00:37:48.320
so so it's in that little yeah

00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:53.590
I haven't had a chance to sit down and like kind of

00:37:53.590 --> 00:37:58.159
suggests whatever but they are currently

00:37:58.159 --> 00:38:01.809
trying to raise money because that siting is falling apart

00:38:01.809 --> 00:38:04.320
and the original is still underneath it

00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:12.719
but it is the log it was the log I don't know maybe it was

00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:14.239
not the original original it was

00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:17.900
something it's siding but it's void but anyway they're

00:38:17.900 --> 00:38:20.320
raising money currently to try to replace

00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:24.659
that so and there is a chance perhaps of convincing them to

00:38:24.659 --> 00:38:27.119
go to the local process as well because

00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:30.840
there is at least money and obviously they need some help

00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:32.960
because I mean of course all that was

00:38:32.960 --> 00:38:37.760
done off the books no whatever it's been moved I've kind of

00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:40.719
looked into it I mean I mean they

00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:43.559
they're they have a they have some organization going on

00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:45.440
right now yeah yeah yeah haven't planned

00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:50.039
right now and in past years I haven't helped fix I call it

00:38:50.039 --> 00:38:52.639
fix that signing they they have never

00:38:52.639 --> 00:38:57.599
applied to numerous emails to them yeah I was in that trip

00:38:57.599 --> 00:39:00.960
so they'll use it you know where they

00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:04.610
live yeah so you can show up at their door yeah main person

00:39:04.610 --> 00:39:06.480
had a major surgery and I haven't

00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:11.289
been speaking with them since but I guess once you kind of

00:39:11.289 --> 00:39:13.840
are able to touch base with him

00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:17.559
um yeah I wouldn't put it like oh yeah no no I know um and

00:39:17.559 --> 00:39:19.840
we can kind of move forward do

00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:23.570
they have any historic photographs or anything of what it

00:39:23.570 --> 00:39:25.280
looked like I'm assuming they do

00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:32.130
but I wasn't sure okay we kind of go yeah I'll try to get a

00:39:32.130 --> 00:39:34.719
meeting and just to discuss possible

00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:40.679
okay sounds good because I'm recalling that one in the park

00:39:40.679 --> 00:39:43.039
I think it was the Girl Scout

00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:49.019
yes I think it was all uh it was all offices for the Girl

00:39:49.019 --> 00:39:51.599
Scouts so that maybe it wasn't

00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:54.780
great it got moved from Quaker Town it's okay it got moved

00:39:54.780 --> 00:39:58.480
down to 380 right it's going to

00:39:58.480 --> 00:40:04.550
380 right Midwest yes it was moved out there but this it

00:40:04.550 --> 00:40:06.320
would have been built I would guess right

00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:10.980
around 1918 that's when the troop originated um it may have

00:40:10.980 --> 00:40:13.360
been a couple years after or something

00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:19.730
so this probably are these are two different ones I don't

00:40:19.730 --> 00:40:22.159
remember that my mom worked in the

00:40:23.039 --> 00:40:25.760
she worked well and this one got moved a long time ago I

00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:29.760
could literally yeah yeah yeah yeah

00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:32.949
yeah I really got that donated yeah I found the article

00:40:32.949 --> 00:40:34.960
whatever that scout hut was donated

00:40:34.960 --> 00:40:38.389
about the Evers family right so it's actually part of the E

00:40:38.389 --> 00:40:42.400
vers farm that's city property

00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:46.050
no no it is now that's the thing is they carved that off it

00:40:46.050 --> 00:40:47.360
was originally part of the Evers

00:40:47.360 --> 00:40:50.000
yeah that they carved off during the city which is why

00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:52.239
right it's being developed around okay

00:40:53.119 --> 00:40:56.780
anyway I'll see if I can fix the products oh that'd be

00:40:56.780 --> 00:40:57.519
wonderful thanks

00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:02.559
any anyone else have anything to recommend

00:41:04.480 --> 00:41:11.150
all right we're going to keep moving item 4b number hlc 26-

00:41:11.150 --> 00:41:13.920
035 on our agenda is hold a discussion

00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:16.800
regarding the historic landmark commission project matrix

00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:26.929
so exciting news regarding the former entry wall the county

00:41:26.929 --> 00:41:30.079
I reached out both to GDAC

00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:33.269
and the county the county has expressed interest in

00:41:33.269 --> 00:41:36.079
obtaining the wall I did ask them for

00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:39.679
last week for some clarity in terms of where they would

00:41:39.679 --> 00:41:43.360
want it located all of that just so we can

00:41:43.360 --> 00:41:48.599
have some idea before we officially sign it over this is

00:41:48.599 --> 00:41:52.639
yeah yeah yeah so it's in the dme easement

00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:56.289
so the city is able to get it out of there we can get the

00:41:56.289 --> 00:41:57.519
access we don't have to get

00:41:57.519 --> 00:42:00.429
text-off permission we don't have to do any of that I went

00:42:00.429 --> 00:42:02.239
out with DME on site and was able to

00:42:02.239 --> 00:42:05.900
kind of walk through that but we just kind of had to find a

00:42:05.900 --> 00:42:08.400
location for it and someone of interest

00:42:09.199 --> 00:42:13.750
just because kind of talking through internally from staff

00:42:13.750 --> 00:42:16.559
one of our biggest worries if you know

00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:19.070
if we place it a city park or anything like that one of our

00:42:19.070 --> 00:42:20.719
current rec centers it would kind of

00:42:20.719 --> 00:42:24.590
get lost yeah in its location and Denton county is

00:42:24.590 --> 00:42:28.239
obviously the experts and kind of relocating

00:42:28.239 --> 00:42:32.119
homes kind of telling that larger story that or GDAC in

00:42:32.119 --> 00:42:35.039
terms of kind of interpretive art once

00:42:35.039 --> 00:42:37.909
it's kind of moved it could become considered interpretive

00:42:37.909 --> 00:42:41.519
art of some sort but we never heard

00:42:41.519 --> 00:42:45.179
back from GDAC and then Denton county had like I said has

00:42:45.179 --> 00:42:47.280
stated interests and said that they

00:42:47.280 --> 00:42:50.469
would be interested in having it being moved but I'm

00:42:50.469 --> 00:42:53.280
waiting for clarification where exactly they

00:42:53.280 --> 00:42:55.760
would want it moved to probably what I thought of the idea

00:42:55.760 --> 00:42:57.440
with GDAC unofficially they're really

00:42:57.440 --> 00:43:00.619
on to the process they were intrigued by the piece they

00:43:00.619 --> 00:43:02.559
were not terribly intrigued by the

00:43:02.559 --> 00:43:06.219
idea of having it on their property so no I can see the

00:43:06.219 --> 00:43:08.400
historic the historic part to see it

00:43:08.400 --> 00:43:11.679
getting much better yeah being able to interpret that into

00:43:11.679 --> 00:43:13.920
these kind of generational pieces right

00:43:14.719 --> 00:43:17.820
perhaps even by the the wooden building yeah yeah yeah I

00:43:17.820 --> 00:43:19.760
could see it fitting in really great

00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:24.059
so we're just waiting back I'll let you all know what they

00:43:24.059 --> 00:43:27.119
kind of their general idea of where they

00:43:27.119 --> 00:43:30.769
want to place it um I will say staff did actually recommend

00:43:30.769 --> 00:43:32.719
their Evers farm location just because

00:43:32.719 --> 00:43:36.090
it's north of university and kind of is represented that

00:43:36.090 --> 00:43:39.920
agricultural aspect but still having her

00:43:39.920 --> 00:43:43.039
so I'll let you know if they like that idea or not I am

00:43:43.039 --> 00:43:46.000
afraid that the downtown historic part it

00:43:46.000 --> 00:43:49.440
just is swallowing up everything and so at a certain point

00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:52.000
it's hard to tell different stories

00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:55.840
yeah it kind of something like that especially like let's

00:43:55.840 --> 00:43:58.719
feast in family because the thing is

00:43:58.719 --> 00:44:00.670
they're not sure what how they're going to interpret that

00:44:00.670 --> 00:44:01.920
up there they're actually still

00:44:03.119 --> 00:44:05.139
I don't want to get anybody in trouble but they're still

00:44:05.139 --> 00:44:08.000
trying to like clarify what the city meant by

00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:10.250
what was going on with the Evers Park property if they were

00:44:10.250 --> 00:44:13.280
transferring city ownership of that

00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:17.730
property to county or they were just taking possession of

00:44:17.730 --> 00:44:19.760
thing it's it's out there yeah

00:44:19.760 --> 00:44:22.250
we're gonna let the new council work it out so I have no

00:44:22.250 --> 00:44:25.440
idea um but I don't I don't hate the idea

00:44:25.440 --> 00:44:29.260
I like the idea of like turning that true interpretive

00:44:29.260 --> 00:44:33.440
space as well um but again I'm also not mad about

00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:37.300
putting in his short part because it can work there that

00:44:37.300 --> 00:44:39.360
story could work and part of the timeline

00:44:39.360 --> 00:44:43.369
I think she did so that's all I gotta say about them so I

00:44:43.369 --> 00:44:46.239
'll definitely keep you all updated

00:44:46.239 --> 00:44:49.590
hopefully I have something um come September appreciate

00:44:49.590 --> 00:44:54.000
your work of course and then uh the

00:44:54.000 --> 00:44:59.019
rest of our items are ongoing um in terms of just kind of

00:44:59.019 --> 00:45:01.679
well I guess I think we do this in

00:45:01.679 --> 00:45:04.199
concluding items so never mind but yes so these are the

00:45:04.199 --> 00:45:07.519
rest of our items um I don't know if you

00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:12.190
all want to add anything additional or if we are good with

00:45:12.190 --> 00:45:15.119
this is there anything that's come up

00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:19.190
that's kind of you know intrigue you all that uh you would

00:45:19.190 --> 00:45:22.159
like additional research or something

00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:26.619
else to add or so part of the matrix now that we're

00:45:26.619 --> 00:45:30.800
Halloween town um I just want to throw this out

00:45:30.800 --> 00:45:32.719
I don't think we need to make a decision that tonight which

00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:33.840
is why I just want to bring it up

00:45:34.480 --> 00:45:38.489
um I feel like this might become a new year-round kind of

00:45:38.489 --> 00:45:40.000
uh I mean

00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:43.800
Denton is Halloween capital of Texas is going to become a

00:45:43.800 --> 00:45:45.440
recurring thing and I think the Historic

00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:49.099
Commission have an active role so I feel like perhaps

00:45:49.099 --> 00:45:52.079
placing on the active matrix something

00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:56.019
about Halloween initiatives and just leave that as a place

00:45:56.019 --> 00:46:00.559
holder and nothing to do tonight or

00:46:00.559 --> 00:46:03.409
decisions to make tonight but to maybe push that forward

00:46:03.409 --> 00:46:07.920
because here we are in August we are

00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:12.059
less than 60 days out from the start of Halloween so I'm

00:46:12.059 --> 00:46:16.960
just throwing that out there and um I think

00:46:16.960 --> 00:46:23.030
that item might be a useful addition to uh things that um

00:46:23.030 --> 00:46:26.559
our commission can say that we're actively

00:46:26.559 --> 00:46:30.409
doing is to be an active participant in those events every

00:46:30.409 --> 00:46:32.159
year I'm hearing you say you want

00:46:32.159 --> 00:46:34.670
to build a haunted house that looks really old we already

00:46:34.670 --> 00:46:37.119
have one it's called 1926

00:46:41.679 --> 00:46:45.340
well I think we need more to he's recommended to put

00:46:45.340 --> 00:46:47.599
something on the matrix we have anyone

00:46:47.599 --> 00:46:50.650
in favor don't we have to have yes we need to have at least

00:46:50.650 --> 00:46:50.960
three

00:46:56.239 --> 00:46:59.599
wonderful anything else to add to the matrix

00:47:05.360 --> 00:47:09.849
so our next anything else any other additional business to

00:47:09.849 --> 00:47:12.159
discuss the commission tonight

00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:19.599
going once I have items but I'm just waiting to see yes I

00:47:19.599 --> 00:47:20.480
have items to share

00:47:23.679 --> 00:47:28.480
um so we have an exciting potential project coming downtown

00:47:28.480 --> 00:47:29.840
you all might have seen the signage on

00:47:29.840 --> 00:47:33.500
the golf station um it is not locally designated it is not

00:47:33.500 --> 00:47:36.000
recognized by the national register

00:47:36.719 --> 00:47:40.099
it was determined it wasn't even determined eligible but

00:47:40.099 --> 00:47:43.840
for back in the 1996 survey

00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:46.210
because it wasn't 50 years old at the time during that uh

00:47:46.210 --> 00:47:50.320
but they are looking to do some restoration

00:47:50.320 --> 00:47:54.300
work on the outside of the golf station get that up and

00:47:54.300 --> 00:47:58.480
running again for public use so I've met

00:48:00.559 --> 00:48:10.260
it is yes I believe it's 301 that's really close 301 301

00:48:10.260 --> 00:48:12.239
and 302 is what I was thinking

00:48:13.199 --> 00:48:18.440
I think maybe three or one more guess I'm sorry that is an

00:48:18.440 --> 00:48:20.559
educated guess based off of

00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:25.690
but again it's on the McKinney and locus that corner but um

00:48:25.690 --> 00:48:28.480
so just want to share that with you

00:48:28.480 --> 00:48:33.110
all um as staff I've met with the general the owner I've

00:48:33.110 --> 00:48:36.239
talked about opportunities with national

00:48:36.239 --> 00:48:39.900
register um designation I've talked about the state uh

00:48:39.900 --> 00:48:43.039
opportunities I've also talked about local and

00:48:43.039 --> 00:48:47.420
with those tax exemption um opportunities there so he's he

00:48:47.420 --> 00:48:50.800
's kind of weighing the options right now

00:48:50.800 --> 00:48:54.179
so we'll see but I kind of did that initial education um

00:48:54.179 --> 00:48:56.079
confirmed that he does have a

00:48:58.400 --> 00:49:01.250
gentleman who's involved who has worked on historic

00:49:01.250 --> 00:49:03.360
properties because I did say you know that is kind

00:49:03.360 --> 00:49:07.789
of a key you know um former gas station and car repair

00:49:07.789 --> 00:49:11.280
location and that it's very prominent on

00:49:11.280 --> 00:49:15.349
that corner people love it and so he's very much aware that

00:49:15.349 --> 00:49:17.760
um he wants to do his due diligence by

00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:20.130
it and make sure that it's a quality product so just want

00:49:20.130 --> 00:49:21.840
to kind of give you all a heads up that

00:49:21.840 --> 00:49:24.889
that is kind of in the progress I'm hoping that he'll come

00:49:24.889 --> 00:49:26.800
forward for local designations that

00:49:26.800 --> 00:49:30.460
you will have the opportunity um because I know that's

00:49:30.460 --> 00:49:33.119
something since I've started that the

00:49:33.119 --> 00:49:35.969
commission has brought up here and there randomly just

00:49:35.969 --> 00:49:38.000
saying do you think we can get any progress

00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:41.969
there so I think it's a new owner and what it was a few

00:49:41.969 --> 00:49:46.559
years yes I believe so yes yeah so yeah so

00:49:46.559 --> 00:49:49.760
I'm hopeful so just wanted to share that fun exciting news

00:49:49.760 --> 00:49:51.679
and hopefully keeps continue to be

00:49:51.679 --> 00:49:55.829
exciting and new um new information there um in terms of

00:49:55.829 --> 00:49:59.360
our southeast denton um historic

00:49:59.360 --> 00:50:03.369
resource survey consultant we staff made an internal final

00:50:03.369 --> 00:50:05.199
decision today I can't share

00:50:05.199 --> 00:50:08.250
that news until we've let the consultant know but I'll be

00:50:08.250 --> 00:50:10.400
excited to share that with you all

00:50:10.400 --> 00:50:14.170
next meeting um and we're excited to get that project going

00:50:14.170 --> 00:50:16.559
I think I think it will get I think

00:50:16.559 --> 00:50:18.929
it will be a good experience and um definitely will be an

00:50:18.929 --> 00:50:20.719
opportunity for the commission to get

00:50:20.719 --> 00:50:24.760
involved especially with some education and training um and

00:50:24.760 --> 00:50:26.719
ensuring that the community

00:50:26.719 --> 00:50:29.570
knows what's going on um obviously staff has had some

00:50:29.570 --> 00:50:31.760
lessons learned from south ridge and how those

00:50:31.760 --> 00:50:37.000
conversations went you know I'm only humans we've learned

00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:39.519
um but um so I think it will be a great

00:50:39.519 --> 00:50:42.559
opportunity though for the commission to get involved um

00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:44.480
for that historic resource survey

00:50:44.480 --> 00:50:46.980
especially since it's at the national register level and a

00:50:46.980 --> 00:50:48.639
nomination will be coming out of that

00:50:48.639 --> 00:50:52.300
so I think it's really a really good practice for you all

00:50:52.300 --> 00:50:54.559
practice for staff and also just making

00:50:54.559 --> 00:50:57.570
sure that the neighborhood gets excited about preserving

00:50:57.570 --> 00:51:01.360
the history um in terms of other

00:51:01.360 --> 00:51:06.110
additional information some staff did attend the national

00:51:06.110 --> 00:51:08.960

00:51:08.960 --> 00:51:11.989
