4:49 Motion passes nine zero.
4:52 We call our first case, HCLC-26-107, 1200 East Cannon Street.
4:59 This is a new construction in the Terrell Heights Historic District.
5:12 Their proposed design for the one-story residence reflects an orientation that is consistent with the predominant character of the streetscape, including the existing patterns of spacing and massing.
5:24 However, a few design aspects should be addressed to ensure a compatible new construction in the historic district.
5:33 Therefore, staff recommends the following.
5:36 That these uh requests for a certificate of appropriateness to construct a new residence at 1200 East Cannon Street be approved subject to the following conditions.
5:46 That the structure setback be adjusted to be in line with the historic structure at 1208 East Cannon, that the driveway be moved to Tennessee Avenue to reflect a typical location of a driveway for corner lots, that the uncovered slab on the right elevation be removed from the porch, that the structure be raised to accommodate at least two seven-inch risers for the porch to be consistent with the historic character in the area, and a porch section be submitted for review, that the boxed eaves be changed to open rafters to be consistent with eaves in the area, that all windows reflect a traditional one over one configuration, and an additional window be placed on the right side elevation, that the cladding material be changed to reflect a typical lap siding material for the area, and that any adjustments made to the drawings be submitted to the development services department prior to the issuance of a certificate of appropriateness.
6:40 This concludes the staff report.
6:43 Do we have anyone in the chambers to speak on this case?
6:48 Seeing none, we'll move to the commissioners.
6:52 Is there any discussion?
6:55 Oh, are you here for the case?
6:58 Please approach the podium and state your name and address.
7:03 Wait till you get to the Garcia, I'm a friend of Milton Rodriguez, the one that is.
7:25 Would you mind speaking into the mic so I can hear you?
7:28 On the step in the front, um he says that there's other neighbors nearby that doesn't have a step, and he has some of the property address that doesn't have a step.
7:38 So that's the reason why he didn't want to put a step on it.
7:41 Okay, ask him if he is willing to work with staff on that issue.
8:05 All the other changes will be submitted to them.
8:13 Um, okay, uh anyone else here to speak on behalf of this property.
8:21 All right, are we ready for a motion?
8:25 Make a motion to approve.
8:29 Okay, do we have a second?

9:16 And it's time for our next case.
9:19 HCLC 26 125 1028 East Cannon Street.
9:29 Your next case is also located in the Terra Height.
9:38 The proposed one-story resident reflects an orientation that is consistent with the predominant character of the streetscape, including established patterns of spacing, massing and building orientation.
9:49 The proposed building segments and driveway location aligned with those historic structures along the block as well.
9:56 Proposed registration, including vinyl windows, is generally compatible with traditional window patterns found in the area.
10:02 However, all standardized and small size windows should maintain two to one high to width ratio.
10:11 In terms of materials, the proposed interview engineered lab side and is consistent with the predominant character in the area.
10:18 However, the proposed front door should be simplified to a standard door without classing or transpiring class elements.
11:13 And the any adjustment made to the drawings be submitted to development services department prior to the issuance of the certificate of appropriateness.
11:25 Do we have anyone in the chambers to speak on this case?
11:32 Seeing none, we will move for uh if you all have any discussion or we are ready for a motion.

11:54 And we have a second by Commissioner Estrus Tucker.

12:26 Commissioner Haldin.
12:29 And Commissioner Brysendine.
12:35 Our third case is HCLC-26-131.
12:41 Or 1313 East Morningside Drive.
12:59 So this property is located at 1313 East Morning Sand Drive, like mentioned before.
13:04 The proposal is a one-story residential that maintains the traditional orientation and reflects the established development patterns of the surrounding streetscapes.
13:25 However, the rest of the buildings on the block is contributing in form.
13:35 And it has a partial length front porch and a 612 gabled roof pitch.
13:41 All of which are commonly uh are commonly found on this uh in this throughout this historic uh Morning Side district.
13:49 The proposed 12-foot uh with concrete drive um along the east property boundary is consistent also with the uh district's driveway and parking patterns.
14:00 The pro the project also includes vinyl windows at four-inch trim, um horizontal lap siding, composite roof shingles um that reflect the materials and architectural character commonly found within the neighborhood overall the proposed uh residence is compatible with the historic Morningside district uh design guidelines, the established character of the surrounding neighborhood um as well throughout the review process.
14:29 The applicant work closely with staff to refine some of the design and ensure compliance is compliance and uh with the applicable design guidelines and compatibility with the historic context.
14:40 Um with that said, staff does recommend approval for the this 1313 East Morningside Drive.
14:48 Do we have anyone in the chamber to speak on this uh case?
14:54 Seeing none, commissioners are we ready for the discussion?
14:58 Are we ready to make a motion?
15:00 Um I've got a question.
15:03 Is there any kind of fence or anything along the railroad?
15:08 There's no proposed fence on safety precautions that they have to adhere to being next to a railroad line.
15:15 There are no um proposed fence uh on the site plan that they have currently.
15:22 I'll go back to the site plan so you guys can see it.
15:32 Seems strange to me that you'd have a railroad right next to a house like this and not have some form of protection.
15:40 Doesn't even look like there's fencing along the railroad.
15:47 Could you go back to that the photograph?
15:50 Sorry, say that again.
15:52 Can you go back to the photograph of the lot?
15:56 It seems that there's one in the back.
16:04 I'm looking at this property, the property next door to it.
16:11 I mean, to my I own property immediately adjacent to the fours and fourth and western rail line that's residential and about 500 feet of it.
16:20 And there's no, to my knowledge, there's no city requirement to have a I actually do not have a fence um on the rear part of my property.
16:27 It's not required by any city code.
16:30 And they're usually kind of built up on a berm, so it's kind of a natural I mean kids can get on them anywhere, but yeah, there's no any fence requirement by my house either.
16:40 I'm just curious from a liability standpoint.
16:44 Hell the you know, there isn't some, like being on the freeway, there's a fence.
16:49 Well, not I would on that the image that we're seeing there.
16:52 Um staff could probably confirm this, but I believe that that approximately 10 feet or 15 feet that is to the east of the eastern property line of the property is probably city of Fort Worth right of way that was an alley at one point.
17:07 That is correct, yeah.
17:12 So technically they have a buffer.
17:21 I'll make a motion to approve HCLC 26131 uh with staff conditions.
17:31 There are no conditions.
17:35 So let's be clear on the second motion.
17:40 Who made the second motion?
17:43 Catch them made the first.
17:50 He approved with conditions.
17:51 There are no conditions.
17:53 Okay, then I approve it exactly how it is.
17:56 Second, I make a motion for to be approved exactly how it is in 10 seconds are great.
18:01 So we have a motion and a second.
18:04 We have a motion by Commissioner Kitchum listed.
18:07 And a second by Commissioner Holden.
18:12 Alright, um, so uh chairwoman Kelly.
18:16 Uh how do you uh vote?
18:20 Um, chair, uh person, sorry, I'm on my first side.
18:27 You're you doing an amazing job?
18:28 Um Ketch them, how do you vote?
18:31 Uh Chairperson uh Brisens.
18:38 Um Chairperson Malone.
18:42 Uh Chair Person Shuffalo.
18:52 Uh, and chairperson tragedy.
19:00 Uh nine, nine zero.
19:05 We're all the chair today, guys.
19:12 You did an amazing job.
19:14 So I do that over again.
19:19 No, it's not necessary.
19:20 Did we get everybody though?
19:22 Uh, you didn't get any, but you but I approve.
19:24 And what about there?
19:27 Commissioner Tucker.
19:36 That's how we learn.
19:40 Um, so then our next case is going to be HCLC 26-127-5600.
19:59 This is a new construction case in the Carver Heights Historic District.
20:04 On the corner of Pharrell and Bong Drive.
20:10 Here's some of the contributing structures around.
20:15 The proposed design for the one-story residence reflects an orientations that is consistent with predominant character of the streetscape, including the existing patterns of spacing and building orientation.
20:27 However, a few design aspects should be addressed to ensure a compatible new construction in the historic district.
20:35 Therefore, the staff recommends the following that the request for a certificate of appropriateness to construct a new residence at 5600 Bong Drive be approved subject to the following conditions.
20:45 That the multiple gables at the front be simplified, that the roof pitch should be lowered to reflect a more consistent roof pitch with the historic character, that the windows be simplified to a one over one configuration light pattern, that the reveal of the sighting be marked on the plans, and that any adjustments made to the drawings be submitted to the development services department prior to the issuance of a certificate of appropriateness.
21:09 This concludes a staff report.
21:12 Do we have anyone in the chamber to speak on this case?
21:17 Seeing none, we will move to our commissioners.
21:21 Do you have any questions or concerns regarding this case?
21:25 If not, are we ready for a motion?
21:26 Or like can you go back to the overhead view of the property here?
21:30 Okay, so it's that um okay.
21:33 So the garage is on the side of the house, and then there's an uh utility easement.
21:37 Is that just a yard then between the utility easement and the house?
21:42 Yeah, the left-hand side, yeah.
21:47 And then on but on the back of the house, it's only five foot to the neighbor's property line.
21:53 I think that might say six feet at the back.
21:55 Okay, I was just curious if I make sure I was reading it right.
22:01 Are we ready for a motion?
22:05 I'll make the motion for approval of 56 bong drive with staff conditions.
22:11 I will second that.
22:13 And so we have a motion and a second.
22:15 Our first motion is by Commissioner Ketchum.
22:18 Our second is by Commissioner Brisendine.
22:23 Chair Kelly Gardner, how do you vote?
