I. STAFF PRESENTATION II. PUBLIC HEARING III. MAKE RECOMMENDATION Ms. Sara Serra-Bennett presented the request for the demolition of structures located at 237 Frey St. The property owner wants to remove the old structure and build a new home. The original structure was built in 1953 and additions have been made over the years. There are obvious signs of deterioration throughout. A fire occurred in the attic some time ago and the damage it caused was not completely removed. The applicant intends to use some of the materials from the old structure within the new one to tell this property's story. Notifications were City of Boerne Page 2 Printed on 4/30/2021 Historic Landmark Commission Official Meeting Minutes April 6, 2021 mailed to property owners within 200ft. One response was received, which was in favor of the demolition. Travis Roberson, the applicant, felt structure did not have historical relevance and was in very poor condition. The intent is to use some materials from the roofing, siding and an old stove to commemorate the previous structure. Through previous experience, this has been a good approach in building a sound structure and carrying on its story. Commissioner Mainz & Commissioner Redd attended the site visit. Both agreed the home is not structurally sound and there is no historical significance. Chairman Ben Adam, who also attended the site visit, mentioned some of the additions that had been made over the years. There was substantial water damage underneath the building. He agreed there was no historical significance. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER BOERNER, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER BERGMANN, TO APPROVE THE DEMOLITION REQUEST FOR A STRUCTURES LOCATED AT 237 FREY STREET (PART OF KAD 22310, FAIRVIEW ADDITION, LOT 5, 0.33 ACRES) (DANIEL KREIFELS).

I. STAFF PRESENTATION II. PUBLIC HEARING III. MAKE RECOMMENDATION Ms. Sara Serra-Bennett presented the demolition request for structures City of Boerne Page 3 Printed on 4/30/2021 Historic Landmark Commission Official Meeting Minutes April 6, 2021 located at 521 Adler St. The structure was originally built around 1969. Over the years, multiple change have been made to accommodate the owners' needs. Currently, the two exposed log cabin walls are the only remaining parts of the original structure. The owners plan to renovate whole structure, but have stability concerns. There is no guarantee these walls can support the weight of the renovation. The owners are interested in using some of the logs for the renovation. Chairman Ben Adam mentioned these walls were exposed after the siding was removed because of a termite infestation. The logs are directly on the ground which is causing settling. There is also no insulation. It was discovered there were at least 4 different types of cement used to seal between the logs. Russell Moore, the property owner, has lived at the property for 20+ years and intend to stay. The remodel will include a new exterior, expanding the kitchen, redirecting stairs down to this area, replacing the roof, insulation, upgrading wiring & plumbing. It's important to do all these renovations without changing the footprint of the house.
