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