Block 13 also known as Williamson County and Cities Health District, located at 312 South
Main Street.
Ms. Rowe described the signs that were proposed for the buildings on this block, and
reported the request was consistent with the Design Guidelines and was not on consent
agenda because of the number and content of signs . Gordon Baker, the applicant, reported
that of the eleven signs proposed, six of them were replacement signs.
Motion by Commissioner Truehardt to approve the Certificate of Design Compliance for
the signs as presented. Second by Commissioner O’Donnell. Approved 7-0.
10.Request for a Certificate of Design Compliance for paint color and mural design for City
of Georgetown, Block 38, Lot 4 also known as the Georgetown Visitors Center and City
offices, located at 101 and 103 West 7th Street.
Ms. Rowe reports that the Visitors Center will be repainted and a mural will be painted on
the side of the building. She also stated that per the Guidelines, this mural would have to
be maintained to HARC specifications . This is considered a painted sign or downtown
public art and is allowed by the Guidelines. Sarah Jane Blankenship of the Main Street
Board was available for questions. The application is to paint the mural directly on the
brick wall. It might possibly have a wooden frame put around it at a later date.
Motion by Commissioner Truehardt to approve the application as submitted in the
application. Second by Commissioner Chapman. Approved 7-0.
11.Request for a Certificate of Design Compliance for exterior rehabilitation for Lost
Addition, Block 64, 0.1148 acres, located at 212 West 10th Street.
Ms. Rowe reported that this is the second application for this location. The applicant is not
present because he was stuck in traffic. The application is for window and door
replacement, paint, remodel and parking.
Commissioner Sparks questioned the available and required parking. Ms. Rowe stated
that he meets the required four parking spaces, based on the square footage of the
residence being converted to office space. The trees will only be taken down if necessary
to meet the site plan requirements.
Motion by Commissioner Easley to approve the application as recommended. Second by
Commissioner O’Donnell. Approved 7-0.
12.Discussion and possible action on alternative parking in the Downtown Overlay District.
Ms. Rowe stated that maps were not available and the statement from City Hall was
delayed due to the emergency response meetings that were held due to Hurricane Rita.
Ms. Rowe made a temporary map to identify areas of alternative and shared parking in the
downtown area. The only location that there is a problem is near the library and that
problem no longer exists because the building that had received the alternative parking
plan approval no longer exists.
There was discussion about the requirements of developers in relation to alternative
parking plans and whether street striping is required if street parking is allowed. Ms.
Rowe will check into this and report. Specifics of individual properties were discussed,
i.e., Main Street Baptist and the Presbyterian Church that are allowed parking in the City
lot on Sundays.
Ms. Rowe will ask Tom Yantis, Assistant City Manager, to attend the next meeting to
address further shared and alternative parking issues .
13.Updates on upcoming training and miscellaneous items from staff.
There will be a Commission training session, given by Marcel Quimby, on Thursday,
October 20 to discuss “site plan and infill review”. More information will be forthcoming.
A Subcommittee meeting will be held during the next week to discuss the new Library
and the final revisions needed for that review. Please let Ms. Rowe know if you are
interested in serving on that subcommittee.
Copies of the Commission’s Bylaws were included in the packet. Commissioners were
asked to review the attendance policy shown in Section 4.4. To remain in good standing
on the Commission, attendance is required at 75% of the meetings, and based on excused
absences. No more than four meetings in a year are to be missed. This applies to regular
appointed members, not alternates.
A list of City Planning Staff was given. If a Commissioner is to be absent, they should
contact Karen Frost. If a Commissioner has a problem with receiving information packets,
they should contact Jim Babcock. All HARC review issues should be directed to Rebecca
Rowe.
Ms. Rowe ensured that all Commissioners have a copy of the Design Guidelines and the
Downtown Master Plan. She also suggested that the HARC review sections of the UDC
that apply to their approvals and review. She will be bringing those sections to each
meeting for discussion.
Ms. Rowe discussed Subcommittees and Administrative Approval of certain Certificates of
Design Compliance. Section 2.50.050 Delegation of Authority, of the bylaws states “The
HARC shall have the express authority to delegate review of minor projects (as defined by
majority vote of the HARC) to either: 1.) A subcommittee of the HARC composed of at
least three members; or 2.) City staff as designated by the City Manager.” Ms. Rowe stated
she is the City Manager’s delegate at this time. She wanted to define the “minor projects”.
Ms. Rowe proposed signage, amendments to approved CDC’s, landscaping that does not
require a site plan, not parking spaces or added impervious coverage, and temporary
banners which are only allowed for 45 days a year be reviewed for administrative
approval. Items to be considered by subcommittee would be such things as permanent
signage, and structural amendments to approved CDC’s – brick to stone for example. If the
subcommittee is not comfortable making a recommendation, the item is referred to the full
Commission. If an item is denied approval by the subcommittee, the appeal is to the full
Commission.
She is proposing bringing forth language in the future to amend the Unified Development
Code, codifying these changes. Clarification was made that there is not a standing
subcommittee, it is based on availability of Commissioners. This has been discussed by
the Commission before but this needs a definition and amendments to be codified.
Commissioners agreed that they were amenable to this and Ms . Rowe should come forth
with specific language.
Ms. Rowe asked for a subcommittee to review the Library revisions. Siding, windows,
fountains and roofline gables were changed. Would this be a subcommittee review? The
Commission proposed a subcommittee review these new changes. Chair Sparks asked for
volunteers. Commissioners Gray, Chapman, Easley and O’Donnell volunteered and were
to be contacted to meet regarding this review.
14.Comments, questions and general discussion from Commission and/or staff.
A. Reminder of the next meeting, October 27.
Chair Sparks stated that a new alternate has been appointed, Nancy Knight, and that she is
unavailable for the next couple of meetings and the training session coming up on October
20, 2005.
Motion by Commissioner Easley to adjourn. Second by Commissioner Chapman. Meeting
adjourned at 7:05 p.m.
