0:00Historic districts design principles and standards, which sets forth standards for changes in the historic districts and the rules of procedure adopted by the Chapel Hill Historic District Commission, as well as the significance reports from all three historic districts and photographs.
0:17I also call to your attention each of the applications and associated materials in your agenda packet.
0:23All of these items are hereby entered into the record.
0:27And while I have my microphone on, I'll just remind commissioners to please turn your mic on and speak into the mic clearly.
0:37I am now speaking into my mic.
0:40I'm going to uh read the uh public charge.
0:43The advisory body uh body pledges its respect to the public.
0:47The body asks the public to conduct themselves in a respectful, courteous manner, uh, both with the body and with fellow members of the public.
0:56Should any member of the body or any member of the public fail to observe this charge at any time?
1:01The chair will ask the offending person to leave the meeting until that individual uh regains personal control.
1:08Should the quorum fail to be restored, the chair will recess the meeting until a genuine commitment to this public charge is observed.
1:16Um property owners may represent themselves or be represented by attorney, however, professionals such as architects, engineers, designers, and others may provide factual evidence and expert opinions so far as they are qualified, but not legal arguments on behalf of the property owner.
1:34So that is the public charge.
1:37And now we need an approval of the agenda.
1:41Is there gonna be are there gonna be any changes to the agenda that you guys know of?
1:47Can we have someone want to approve the agenda?
1:51Move the agenda as submitted.
1:58We'll just go with a straight eye on that one.
2:00I'm not gonna do the roll call on that.
2:03Um and then announcements.
2:06I don't think there are any, are they?
2:11Uh so Phil Lyons is here.
2:14He wants to give the commission an update on the Coker Hills um National Register nomination.
2:22And um, and staff is working on our um CLG report that's due at the end of the month.
2:33Um we don't have any substantive update, but um we are working on that to get it submitted.
2:40Okay, very good, thank you.
2:49Um, members of the commission for the record my name is Phil Lyons.
2:53I am a trustee of Preservation Chapel Hill.
2:56We have been advised by the state historic preservation office that SHIPO has approved the staff that should have approved our application or our nomination for the Coker Hills neighborhood and the National Register of Historic Places.
3:15We understand further, since Chapel Hill is a CLG, just recently mentioned, uh, that this matter will come before this body sometime in the new year for action and possibly as much as a hearing.
3:34I don't know because I haven't seen the instructions from SHIPO.
3:38Just finally, this represents the culmination of three and a half years of work to get the nomination at this point.
3:52And it's been a wonderful project and a collaboration between the Coker Hills Neighborhood Association and Preservation Chapel Hill.
4:01So I look forward to talking to you again about it soon, but did not want to uh wind up on your agenda without you knowing in advance.
4:12If you have any questions, happy to try to answer them.
4:15Does anyone have a question?
4:18I just want to say thank you to Preservation Chapel Hill, but also to you personally because you've spearheaded this and done a great job as usual.
4:26Very kind, thank you.
4:27And so everybody knows when he says SHIPO that stands for State Historic Preservation Office.
4:31A lot of people don't know that alphabet suit, so that's what we're talking about.
4:37Thanks for that clarification.
4:44So approval of the minutes from November 11.
4:50I'm assuming you guys have had a chance to look at them or you remember them.
4:55Do we need a motion to approve the minutes?
4:57Do you want here a motion?
5:00Make a motion to approve the amendment says a second.
5:04And we have a second, so all in favor, say aye.
5:11Now let's move on to old business.
5:17Now we definitely have a quorum.
5:30Um Don, don't forget the conflicts.
5:35And X by communication and swearing in.
5:40Um you had a piece of paper well, please.
5:43Can we see if I have it?
5:46I don't think it can go that way.
5:51While you're looking for that, and before we get started, just wanted to make notes that Josh Gurlitz is now on the panel.
6:00So we'll talk about you later.
6:09So that's the instructions and multiple.
6:13Yeah, there's the owner.
6:27So this is this is a redo from last time, but I need to ask are there any conflict of interest with this particular party, this particular applicant.
6:36If not, uh, I'm going to read an oath for you guys to affirm.
6:42And after you say that oath, if you can uh say I affirm and your name, that'd be awesome.
6:49Oh, so I affirm that the evidence I shall give to the historic district commission and the referenced application show you the truth and nothing but the truth.
7:04Something work for you?
7:06Well, uh they're ready.
7:10Well, good evening, everyone.
7:11I'll be presenting our revised proposal for the design of an addition to the Delta Kappa Epsilon house located at 132 South Columbia Street.
7:19After the presentation during last month's meeting, you all agreed to continue this business to tonight.
7:25So just as a quick refresher, these were the proposed items for the edition from last month.
7:29We were wanting to extend the existing cafeteria 14 feet outward toward Cameron Avenue.
7:35This would interfere with the existing ADA parking on the site, so we also had to reconfigure that on the site plan as well.
7:41And above the cafeteria extension, there would be a balcony with access from a new study lounge, which was converted from the two bedrooms located above the existing cafeteria.
7:50And so to offset the loss of those two bedrooms, we were also proposing an addition to the second floor.
7:56So after you reviewed and discussed last month's proposal, we were told that there were six main points which needed to be addressed.
8:02Firstly, there was a big problem with the overall massing of the second floor edition.
8:07We were told to explore designs, which would help create visual distinction between uh the existing building and the proposed edition.
8:15The roof of that second floor edition also needed to be further fleshed out in order to be more compatible with the existing building.
8:22There are also some discrepancies between the site plan and the renderings when depicting the cafeteria edition as being inset from the existing building.
8:29And we were also told to be careful in acknowledging the setbacks and the offset of the existing of the um addition from the building.
8:38Additionally, in last month's discussion, it was brought up that the cafeteria edition could potentially be situated on the north facade of the building.
8:45Um and so to address all this, um, I'll be going through our response with updated imagery and drawings that will have more contacts added to them in order to help better visualize our revised proposal.
8:58So I'll start with the site plan, which now shows rendering materials in the two front yards of the house as well as where we're altering that ADA parking.
9:06This is the existing site with that ADA spot on the bottom left or the southwest corner.
9:11And the plan also shows the rough locations, the types of vegetation on the site.
9:17So now here is the proposed site plan, and you can see how we're not impacting any of the existing vegetation and the stone walls or any masonry and walkways and patios.
9:36So this right here is an image of the southeast corner of the house.
9:40And here's a view of our revised proposal.
9:43Um a view from when you're standing on the sidewalk at the intersection of Cameron and Columbia.
9:48So now this is a picture taken from the sidewalk in front of the Carolina Inn.
9:53And here's our proposed design.
9:55And I should point out that the two trees in front of the basketball court aren't present here.
10:00And we did that in order to show the south facade just a bit better.
10:08So I'll go back to the feedback that we received from last month.
10:11Firstly, the design or the placement of the exterior wall, the second floor edition needed to be changed from the last proposal.
10:17The solution that we landed on here was to place a new brick wall back one foot from the existing walls.
10:23This helps create some distinction between the existing building and the addition so you can visually understand the history and the iterations of the additions to the house.
10:34And in that addition, it was also mentioned that the form of the roof should look more compatible with the rest of the house.
10:40And in order to make this happen, two dormers have been incorporated into the roof line.
10:44These dormers help visually tie the addition into the existing building.
11:06And there was also some confusion regarding the offset of the addition from the existing building.
11:12And so just to make that clear, the cafeteria extends 14 feet outwards from the existing building, while the existing balcony extends 13 feet out.
11:20This is similar, however, it's like not it's not the same, but this is well within the setback that was required by the Lumo.
11:28There's also some discussion and encouragement to explore placing the addition on the north side of the building.
11:33Unfortunately, as you can see here, that is not really an option.
11:37We're extending out the cafeteria and not the dine and not the um the kitchen, which is located on the north side of the building.
11:47Finally, you asked to see uh more context in our presentation of the proposal.
11:53So here are some new renderings uh to show the existing vegetation of the two front yards, and these views are also taken from angles which were requested by you all.
12:05Uh so hopefully these images uh can help you better understand our proposal and help see our revised proposal as well.
12:15And so I'd like to invite y'all to ask any questions that you may have.
12:24I always hate to be the first one, but everyone's being so quiet.
12:29Um, I like conceptually where you're going with it, where you've pushed back the second floor and left a horizontal over top of the first floor at the first and second floor level.
12:41It's kind of kind of a good idea.
12:43Um what concerns me and what my questions are about are some of the details.
12:48Right now, it looks like the way you've got the downspout strong in relation to the existing gutters and cornices.
12:54Are those built-in gutters that they have there now?
12:57They are, and those are fairly accurate representations of how they are currently.
13:03So would you have built-in gutters on your new addition?
13:06Because that's a long low slope roof, so there's a lot of water coming that way.
13:10So we have not addressed that currently, but um my thought was that they they would be at the eve of the roof.
13:16That they would be what?
13:18At the edge of the roof.
13:19At the edge of the roof, okay.
13:21Like a uh like an exposed gutter or yes, and and that's that's also how how it currently um is on certain parts of this roof.
13:31So there is the the basically the the roof that we're filling in currently has an exposed gutter on the left side on the right, the the existing house from the twenty is that the twenties, the right side.
13:46That has the built-in gutter, the the three-story.
13:52Can we make sure we're speaking into the mics?
13:56Everyone, thank you.
13:58Oh, was that being too quiet?
14:02Can um can I see an elevation of the um Cameron Avenue of the um sorry, the the um Columbia Street elevation?
14:15So maybe something okay.
14:16Now switch back to the Cameron Avenue elevation.
14:23One thing that you're doing in the um addition, which is inconsistent with the existing house, is that the windows on the addition are extended up right to underneath the cornice.
14:42Um I can understand why you would do that from a construction perspective, but it it does not it feels like a um like a noncompatible detail with the um Columbia Street elevation.
15:00existing house is that the the windows on the addition are extended up right to underneath the cornice um I can understand why you would do that um from a construction perspective but it it does not it it feels like a um like a non-compatible detail with the um Columbia Street elevation so it the detailing is changing as you move around the building in this case I find the windows um particularly um disturbing extending up the way they do because windows always have um structure above them to hold up the roof or to hold up some other thing so while I I guess I know why you're doing this my question is why why are these windows extending so far up you're talking about on the brick fast on the brick facade correct uh on the brick facade but also yeah so on the brick on this on this elevation yes sir on the brick facade um the those windows are actually made to match what is going on on the second floor to the left side of this image where they actually do extend uh to the bottom of the cornice yeah if you look to the left of the 1920s edition okay so carry us around there and see if we got uh so would you like a view of just the house as is like a picture of the house that'd be great yeah get that for you yeah right there I see okay thank you for um explaining that yes sir and and I will add that um yes we do have two different conditions going on here there's there's no um it's a broken pediment on the the right hand side um uh original structure so we thought that since we're matching the height that we would um we would simulate that detailing yeah and go back to your render thank you okay back to the the windows thing but this is going up a little higher to the dormers um I like the idea of the dormers there uh but the way they're rendered um needs to be adjusted because it you can see a little bit of a dormer sticking up on the original building there those dormers are actually six over six um with some really nice trim detail around them and I don't have a problem with the dormers if they're detailed to match the original because that has a really nice look and scale to it whereas those dormers is drawn without any windemolions look a little austere do you agree or disagree?
17:40I'm just curious what I would agree with that.
17:43Can I ask a question may I ask a question about the dormers okay um on the front of the building it looks like the pitch of the roof is much deeper so you see some of the roof behind the dormer and and I don't see that here is that correct yes that's correct that's because of because of just the um the low slope of this roof um we intend to have some sort of cricket behind behind these dormers um because we looked at running the dormer all the way back on a one and a half and twelve and it just it did not look right now.
18:19But you bring up a good point thank you is that um I know you can't run the dormer all the way back into traditional dormer detail but the way it you can flip through some others but the way it's shown in some other renders you can see the front and the back of the little dormer boxes you're creating and it looks kind of like a faux dormer.
18:39If you could make them a little longer so that from the street eye level you're not aware that you're putting little they're basically monitors they're not really dormers.
18:50So that's it's kind of odd it looks good from the street level in this render but it's you're kind of faking everybody out then can I change it to monitors that we would like to add to this I mean that's what they actually are they're actually monitors they're not dormers but I know they're meant to mimic the dormer we do and we do intend for them to actually bring light into the space good so they're not fake.
19:27No awesome at this point they're not real but they will be real some point Nancy you've been awfully quiet no I really don't have any questions on the architects.
20:06Okay, well then I guess we can close the presentation portion.
20:11And we'll have a quick discussion if that's okay.
20:21Well, I think they've answered the um the issues that we raised.
20:26And I think the at least for me, the principal issue was the um monolithic brick facade.
20:35And while I wish you could recess it more than a foot, because I would like deep shadow lines rather than shallow shadow lines.
20:51And I do notice in these renderings that you are um you're recessing the cornice molding and you were reflecting the fact that that wall is back.
21:04So I'm glad you answered that question.
21:08And I'll kind of repeat myself.
21:10Uh I agree with Josh in that I love the concept behind what you're doing in the placement of the windows and everything.
21:16Uh my biggest concern is with how it ends up being detailed.
21:21Um, particularly how you're going to catch water and keep it from flying over the edge, because obviously if you don't have a gutter, that facade will look really bad in six months.
21:32So uh so detailing it properly is going to be critical.
21:37Um if we make a motion, we could probably put this in there, but your your dormal windows need to represent uh something I think is more appropriate to the original building with the six over sixes and this same trim detail.
21:57Thank you for clarifying your uh presentation from last time.
22:00It's much more clear to see what's happening with the site, and I agree with uh what's been said so far.
22:10So does anybody want to make a motion?
22:26I don't I don't have a motion piece of paper here.
22:34I need a cheat sheet.
22:36Yeah, gotta have our cheat sheet.
22:43Do you want to read it?
22:45Yeah, be more appropriate.
22:48I move that the application is not incongruous with the special character of the historic district according to the application of the relevant provisions of LUMO and the HDC design standards based upon the facts presented in the record.
23:07Um I would add that the um that the um monitors on the top be extended more deeply so that they are more compatible with the um elements on the roof of the existing building, and that the they have a six over six uh glazing pattern to keep them compatible.
23:40Okay, does everybody understand the motion?
23:43Would anyone like to second it?
23:47Okay, if we have a motion, we have a second.
23:50So do I need to roll call this one?
23:53Or do I just say all in favor?
23:55Uh you can do either.
23:57We'll just say all in favor, say aye.
24:02That sounded unanimous.
24:07Thank you all very much.
24:20And thank you for getting the senator monitor turned on.
24:29I need to know how to try to do that.
24:32Uh you thought you were trying to sign up.
24:36I didn't mind just running there.
24:38And it just didn't do it.
24:42Um hit um control altar.
24:50There's a deleting this bad one right there.
24:54And then do you capitalize on the case?
25:16And then this PowerPoint is out there on the table, Nancy.
25:26And they have an order right here.
25:30So you can use the mouse or you can use the arrows.
25:37And you'll come back and assist me when I mess it up.
25:43Okay, so 304 North Boundary Street.
25:47I'm going to read you the O's and afterwards.
25:53Okay, 304 North Boundary Street.
25:55After I read the Oath, if you could say I affirm and your names, that would be excellent.
26:01I affirm that the evidence I shall give to the historic district commission and the referenced application shall be the truth and nothing but the truth.
26:11I affirm my due Barry Wall.
26:13I affirm Leanne Brown.
26:18Don, can we do conflicts of interest?
26:21Are there any conflicts of interest on this one?
26:33Are you ready for us to go ahead?
26:38We are delighted to be here with you today.
26:40We're going to split the presentation in two parts.
26:47So that we are more entertaining and also because I think each of us is better suited to do the part that we're going to do.
26:58This is the barewall house.
27:03It is house at 304 north boundary.
27:06It is a modern design house.
27:46And I can't read that far on that screen, so I have to find my notes.
28:04It was developed and subdivided with large lots and wooded buffers.
28:20It was built in 2000.
28:21Built in 2000, approved before that.
28:24And it became a part of the historic the historic district.
28:54It's been written up in the News and Observer.
29:06It's got the AA Triangle Honor Honor Award in 2005.
29:11It's been featured in the New American House innovations in residential.
29:17Could you please speak into the line?
29:31So the house, we believe, and and um actually have presented to this commission before and really said the same thing to you.
29:40This particular house has added to the architecture in the district in a contemporary fashion in a way that has been recognized for uh the quality of the house that is there.
30:00But this house, the other thing I will say about this house is I cannot go around the district and find other examples of this house or other examples of features of this house.
30:05It is uh it is a unique contributor to the particular district.
30:11And with that, I'm gonna turn it over so you can find out more about the project.
30:15Do you want to keep this?
30:18I might not be able to read that far either.
30:27So what we are proposing to do is add an entrance to the property.
30:32And what is remarkable about this house is that it doesn't have sort of a front like you would normally have.
30:38I think I need to explain that a little bit because it's going to be germane to the whole request that we have.
30:47The back of the property fronts on north boundary, and the front of the house is actually hidden deep inside the cluster of homes that's there.
31:00So this house was uh completed in 2000.
31:04Uh I did not build this house.
31:05This was another uh couple who lived there that got permission from the HDC for this house, and then it was completed in 2000 uh itself.
31:16Uh I purchased this house in 2015.
31:19Uh an addition was approved as Leanne mentioned last year, and we are working on the uh extension now to build this extension to this house.
31:30The house is is a modern design made of metal and glass, and we as you'll see in the presentation, we've tried to keep the materials the same for what we are proposing for the uh for access to the home.
31:44So uh since um 2020 when a garden was put in and there was a fence that was approved by the historic commission.
31:58There's been a temporary gate to end to access the area inside the garden.
32:04And that temporary gate, which was supposed to be there for a short period of time, and now it's approaching six years, and it's just a very uh rusty construction temporary gate that's been there.
32:18So, what we are proposing to do is to remove that gate and put a permanent access point.
32:25So we we're wanting to put a vestibule to come into the garden area, which is fenced, and uh so happens that a greenhouse is available that would fit there, which fits the architecture of the house and the materials in the house and would form I think a unique entry to a very unique house.
32:50So it will be just replacing the temporary wooden door slash gate and putting a greenhouse there instead.
33:01We go through it exactly how it looks.
33:04So I'll talk a little bit about the existing conditions here.
33:08Uh so the green area, the green um polygon there is the is the property, and the little blue rectangle in the center of it is where this would sit.
33:23So it's far inside the property boundary that you'd actually have the structure sit.
33:31This is a schematic of all of the surrounding properties.
33:37But as you can see, again, that there's a sort of a green rectangle where this gate would this greenhouse would sit, and it's not visible to anyone at all.
33:49They would have to be they have to be coming to this house for them to actually even see the structure.
33:58This is what the entrance to the the driveway to the property looks like.
34:02Um actually it's not visible from this angle, but there's a jog in the road, so you actually can't even see the house at all until you corner that the jog, and then you can see the house itself.
34:17Uh, and this is just past the jog, as you can see for the first time you see the house itself.
34:23Um the I will show it in a subsequent photograph where the gate is, but you can just about see it.
34:30Yeah, you see that that right next to the tree, there's a space right there between the two ends of the masonry walls.
34:38That's where that temporary gate is sitting and is cut like chicken wire there in between, so it's sort of transparent in this photograph, but that's where it would be sitting.
34:50Uh now you can see it much better.
34:52So there's masonry walls on both sides, and there's a gate in between.
35:01It's been there for six years.
35:03I would say quite an eyesore to have it be there.
35:07But hopefully it will be replaced.
35:11This is the view from North Boundary Street.
35:14And as you can see, you can't see the house from there at all.
35:20And the just as just as a explanation, this is the back side of the house, so the structure is on the other side.
35:28So you'd never see that structure from this side from north boundary.
35:34Another view from along Rose Lane towards north boundary.
35:38Again, you can't see the house, definitely won't see the structure because it's beyond the house.
35:44So here's a visualization.
35:46This is the actual structure.
35:48It shows it in black, but it's going to be a silvery gray, the color of the house itself.
35:53So it would blend in with the house itself.
35:57And it would not be this black color.
36:00This is a AI rendering.
36:02This is the best we could accomplish working with the AI to try to kind of sight it within the uh within the masonry walls.
36:11That there is a slope to it, and uh you have double doors that lead in, and then you have double doors that lead out to enter the garden area and approach the house.
36:25This the AI portion of it is just the greenhouse itself, the rest of it is actually a photograph.
36:34Here you can see very clearly the existing wooden structure.
36:39As you can see, it's very primitive and rustic, but has served its purpose for the last almost six years.
36:49So what are the materials to be used?
36:52Uh the materials are uh metal and glass, exactly the kind of substances that are used in the house, metal and glass.
37:03Uh the front of this uh the structure is uh eight and a half feet tall and it slopes down to six and a half feet.
37:11It will because of the way that it's designed, it has to slope down.
37:15And if the front was shorter, then somebody my height could go through, but other people might have trouble getting exiting from the from that structure.
37:25Uh it's seven and a half feet deep.
37:27There's enough space there for there's still a patio there, existing patio, so it would not require uh making more space to be able to enter this particular area.
37:43So here you see a schematic of it.
37:46The parallel lines there are steps that lead down towards the house, and the the black lines are for the masonry wall that is currently there, and then uh the greenhouse sits there.
38:02On the side of it is the existing garage.
38:11This shows at least one of the walls, the right side wall as when facing the house, and then the greenhouse sitting over there.
38:21And this one shows the slope of the greenhouse.
38:23It's flat in the front and then slopes down.
38:26It kind of echoes the roof of the house, which I also has a little angle to it, so I think it is consonant with how the house and the roof interact to have the roof of the vestibule also echo a sloped structure.
38:44I'm gonna turn it over to Lianne.
38:52So finally, um I wanted to speak to you briefly about how we believe this project meets the applicable design standards.
39:01Um, and the two standards that were particularly important to be considered here, I think is standard 1.1.7, which contemplates that new site features be compatible in scale and design and material with the overall hysteric character of the site and of the district.
39:18Uh the proposed edition is compatible in scale design and materials with the existing house on the property.
39:24This particular proposed edition is compatible in scale and design.
39:29The materials match this particular this particular house, and yet it does not appear to be part of the original house.
39:36It is it is separated in a way that meets your guidelines.
39:41Um I'm not going to tell you that the metal and glass that's used in this greenhouse is compatible with what you would see driving down Franklin Street in the Franklin Rosemary District, but it's very compatible with this particular house, and it's this this greenhouse is designed to lean into a green garden.
40:01So you'll have that sense of greenery coming in as you are there.
40:06The other standard that I wanted to particularly point out is 1.1.8, which contemplates the introduction of contemporary site features in locations that do not diminish or compromise the overall character of the site and district, typically in rear large yards or other locations not visible from the street.
40:41And as was demonstrated in the pictures, uh it is in a location that is not visible from the street.
40:47The only time you would ever see this particular feature would be if you were coming to the house for some reason.
40:55Um coming down the driveway, you have to get, as you could see in the pictures, you have to actually come down the drive before you would you would uh it would be visible to you at all.
41:06Um in no way would this addition compromise or diminish the overall character of the district, um, and it is compatible with the modern design and materials of the of the house.
41:19Um I wrote on my notes, and I just want to to include it here because I think it's particularly applicable here.
41:26Um Lumo section 3.6.2 picks up from what the state statute says about uh development in the historic district, and it the intention is not to impose an architectural style, but to uh encourage design, whether contemporary or traditional, which is harmonious with the character of the district, because the house in and of itself is as a contributing part of the district is compatible with the district.
41:53We think this addition, um this very very small addition is compatible, and uh we would ask your consideration to approve it, and we're happy to answer any questions you have.
42:06Does anyone have any questions for the applicant pretty straightforward?
42:17Seems pretty straightforward.
42:19And I can see that there's gonna be no comment from the public.
42:24Okay, but I feel like I had to put that in the record.
42:29So uh I'm gonna um stop the public portion and we'll have some discussion.
42:36Well, I'm gonna start it.
42:38First of all, um I've got to say when I took the chairmanship, I didn't think I would be reviewing a greenhouse gateway.
42:50It's a unique animal.
42:52Um but at the same time, I've got to say I knew Ken Hobgood, he was the original architect there.
42:58Ken would really prefer this over the uh the temporary gate that you have.
43:08So, yeah, for your you don't know Ken's quite a character.
43:15I'd like to underscore the fact that in this particular part of the district.
43:23The um we have a variety of design expressions.
43:28I would refer to the Peacock house next door.
43:32Um I refer to other houses in the area, and this um area incorporates very modern design.
43:42It incorporates some very um very good design.
43:46This particular house is um, I think one of the more one of the best designed modern houses.
43:55Um, and I'm very proud to have it in the district.
43:59I think this particular greenhouse reflects the transparency of the original house, and it also reflects um in the proportion of the metal members holding it up, and the glass um area, those proportions are similar to the existing house.
44:23They're not the same, but they are similar.
44:26So I think that this particular greenhouse addition is very compatible in terms of design with the original house.
44:36And I think that the um thinking of it in context to the neighborhood, that we do have a variety of modern expression, and so the fact that this is similar in context to the original house satisfies my concern.
44:56I think it's a good addition.
45:05Okay, well, I uh I concur with what Josh says.
45:08I think it's uh it's a very appropriate, even though interesting, very appropriate uh solution to an interesting problem.
45:16Well, it's also seems to be a great improvement over what is there now.
45:23Without without question.
45:25Um and I think it's important just to put into the record that we're not setting precedent here for gateways for other parts of the historic district.
45:33I think you kind of alluded to that in this district for this house at this moment.
45:37It's it's appropriate.
45:41So does anybody want to make a motion?
45:46We have the motion cheat sheet here.
45:5234 304 304 north boundary.
45:58I move that the application for um a certificate for 304 North Boundary Street is not in congruence with the special character of the historic district according to the application of the relevant provisions of the LUMO and the HDC's design standards based upon the facts presented in the record.
46:24Uh motions be presented.
46:29Um all in favor, say aye.
46:33I think you get a unanimous you pass.
46:36Thank you very much.
46:46Okay, last but certainly not least, uh, Sharneek, I think you're up.
46:50Uh there's a um discussion of some revisions you guys made to the procedure.
46:58Um, so staff have made some revisions to the commission's um rules of procedures.
47:07Um were just reformatting and making the document a bit easier to navigate, um, and also bringing the rules um into alignment with council policy as far as um the the policy for officer roles and referring to that policy uh instead of restating it in the the rules of procedure.
47:33So the change does um eliminate the deputy vice chair role.
47:38Um so there would just be two officers and uh so the two officers are chairman and chair and vice chair.
47:47Vice chair vice chair, just vice chair, okay.
47:55So I think y'all um do you need a motion to adopt the rules of procedure?
48:03Well, I'll I'll make the motion to adopt the uh proceed the rules of procedure revisions.
48:13I okay that's unanimous.
48:18So I think we are ready to adjourn.
