00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:20.080
10 10 to zero nine a bill earlier. >> Um then let's move on to our first case please. >> Thank you. Your first case is HCLC-26-164966 East Palaski Street. The applicant requests that the Historic and Cultural Landmarks Commission certify that the

20
00:05:20.080 --> 00:05:36.160
eligible work undertaken meets the requirements of the City of Fort Worth zoning ordinance and recommend that city council consider approving the request for the historic site tax exemption verification. The property is located in the Terrell Heights Historic District and was previously considered non-contributing

21
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:52.880
due to the presence of perm. The applicants removed the perm and found original sighting underneath that they plan to restore. So staff was able to reclassify the property as contributing which allowed for them to apply for the HST. The applicants and owner worked closely with staff for the restoration

22
00:05:52.880 --> 00:06:07.759
work and I believe are also pursuing state and federal tax credits. We also received two letters of support that were included in your packet. Having regard to the foregoing, staff recommend the following. That the eligible work undertaken is certified to meet the requirements of the city of Fort Worth

23
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:23.199
zoning ordinance and that the historic and cultural landmarks commission recommend that city council consider approving the request for the historic site tax exemption verification for the property located at 966 East Palaski. Um and on a personal note, um these applicants and owner have been um really

24
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:42.560
wonderful to work with and I'm really pleased to bring um such a beautiful project to you. This concludes the staff report. All right. Thank you very much. Uh, is there anyone present who would like to speak on this case? All right. U seeing none, we'll close

25
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:59.680
the public portion of the hearing and commissioners um discussion or we're open for a motion in a second. I'll just say it's a lovely project and I can't wait to go by and look at it in person.

26
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:18.720
I think we should have one of the Smiths on this board for sure. >> I'll make a motion to approve the historic tax exemption uh at 86 966 East Palansky Drive or Street, sorry.

27
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:33.680
>> Second. >> And was that second by Commissioner Tucker? I apologize. My eyes ain't bad. [laughter] >> What's happening? Okay, we have a motion to approve HLC26-164

28
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:50.240
by Commissioner Ketchum and a second by Commissioner Brisendine. >> Thank you, Chair Herring. How do you vote? >> Yay. >> Commissioner Malone, Commissioner Bryendine, >> Yay. >> Commissioner Ketchum, >> yay. >> Commissioner Tucker, >> yay. >> Commissioner Shuffalo, >> yay. >> Commissioner Musey, yay.

29

>> Commissioner Trager, >> yay. >> Commissioner Peoples, >> and Commissioner Holden, >> yay. >> Thank you. Motion passes 10. Thank you. [laughter] >> Thank you very much. Um, all right.

30
00:08:03.919 --> 00:08:22.560
Let's move on to our next case then. Your next case is 1207 Verbina Street, HCLC-26-165. The city of Fort Worth Development Services Department requests a determination as to whether the primary structure located at 1207 Verbina Street

31
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:40.159
can be reasonably rehabilitated. The structure is considered a contributing structure in the Terrell Heights Historic District and was constructed circa 1918 in the bungalow style. At some point, the porch was partially enclosed and aluminum windows were installed. A fire that was reported

32
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:58.399
in April on April 23rd, 2026 resulted in the main roof caving in and the back wall also collapsing. The structure is considered a CAT 1 substandard and hazardous structure. The structure is vacant and was boarded and secured by code compliance in May 2026. Overall,

33
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:15.279
the structure is in poor condition. When assessed with seven aspects of integrity, staff find that it only meets four of the seven. The exterior envelope of the structure shows many signs of considerable damage, including fire and smoke damage throughout the structure, breached and fire damaged sighting,

34
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:31.680
breached and charred porch ceiling, collapsed roof, and collapsed rear wall, fire and smoke damaged doors and windows. The fire in April 2026 caused extensive interior and substantial exterior damage to the property at 1207 Verbina Street. The structure will

35
00:09:31.680 --> 00:09:46.720
require substantial repairs to the siding, roof framing, and interior, as well as the replacement of total elements such as missing roof and rear wall. The roof remains open and increases damage from the elements to the interior. As noted above, based on the additional evidence provided and the

36
00:09:46.720 --> 00:10:02.800
extensive damage to the property, there is not enough integrity remaining to convey the property significance. This structure therefore cannot be reasonably reh rehabilitated to remain as a contributing structure to the city of Fort Worth's historic heritage. Staff therefore offer the following motion

37
00:10:02.800 --> 00:10:19.040
that it be determined that 1207 Verbina Street cannot be reasonably rehabilitated to remain as a property contributing to the city of Fort Worth's historic heritage. Senior code officer Romero Campos is here if you have any questions. This concludes the staff report. >> All right. Thank you very much for that

38
00:10:19.040 --> 00:10:36.640
report. Is there anyone uh in the chamber who would like to speak on this case? All right, seeing none, we'll close the public portion of the hearing. And commissioners, we're open for discussion or a motion and a second.

39
00:10:36.640 --> 00:10:51.760
>> I'm happy to make a motion that it is determined that 1207 Verbina Street cannot be reasonably rehabilitated as a property contributing to the city of Fort Worth's historic heritage. Commissioner Ketchum. Second.

40
00:10:51.760 --> 00:11:12.640
>> All right, we have a motion uh by Commissioner Ketchum and a second by Commissioner Tucker and Commissioner Musi um on HLC26-165. >> Thank you, Chair Herring. How do you vote? >> Yay. >> Commissioner Malone. Commissioner Bzendine.

41
00:11:12.640 --> 00:11:27.680
>> Yay. >> Commissioner Ketchum. >> Yay. >> Commissioner Tucker. >> Yay. >> Commissioner Shuffalo. >> Yay. >> Commissioner Musey. Yay. Commissioner Trager. >> Yay. >> Commissioner Peoples. >> Yay. >> And Commissioner Holden. >> Yay. >> Thank you. Motion passes 100.

42
00:11:27.680 --> 00:11:55.240
>> Thank you very much. And on to the next case, please. Okay. Your last your last case is a new construction and if the property is located at 936 E Canon Street and the applicant request certificate of a properness to constru

43
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:16.240
location project on surrounding properties in the area and the proposed one-story residence reflects an orientation and that is consistent with the predominant character of the streetscape including established patterns of

44
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:34.720
spacing massing and building orientation. The proposed building setback and detach garage and driveway location align with those historic structures along the block. The elevations demonstrate a building form mass in a design that is compatible

45
00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:52.120
with a traditional structures within within the streetscape and the building's rectangular form reflects the proportion and layouts commonly found in nearby homes and the part the partial wid the partial width front porch is consistent with traditional forms

46
00:12:52.720 --> 00:13:08.480
the traditional punch designs in the area which typically feature a partial width front porches and porches integrated into the project projecting forms. Uh the proposed registration including vinyl windows with 4 in stream is generally compatible with traditional

47
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:25.360
window patterns found in the neighborhood. However, a small size window should maintain the same height to ensure consistency and avoid introducing multiple windows proportions. In terms of materials, the proposed six inches reveal engineer lab siding and architectural roof shingles

48
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:40.560
are consistent with the finish texture and scale of materials. historical use within the neighborhood. However, the proposed front door should be simplified through a standard door without without glassing or transparenting glass elements means

49
00:13:40.560 --> 00:13:57.040
having regarded forgoing staff recommend the following motion that the request for a certificate for properness or concern any residence at night east canon street be approved subject to the following conditions. Number one, that a small size window shall maintain

50
00:13:57.040 --> 00:14:12.800
