The applicant has provided a rendering (attached) showing the proposed deck improvements.

At the time of this report, staff did not have a rendering showing the proposed mural along the building’s Confederate Street façade. Historic District Design Guidelines Review Chapter 6: Design Guidelines for Pedestrian and Site Features for All Projects • 6.1 – Page 112 – Design and locate outdoor amenity space to promote pedestrian activity and complement historic buildings • 6.5 – Page 113 – Locate dining areas to minimize impacts on the streetscape • 6.6 – Page 113 – Design a new handrail and/or barrier to be simple • 6.13 – Page 118 – Minimize the visual impacts of service areas • 6.14 – Page 118 – Minimize the visual impacts of building equipment on the public way and the surrounding neighborhood • 6.15 – Page 119 – New site features should be compatible with the historic character of the property 4 Bailey Bill Review The property, York County Tax Map # 020-03-01-015, is subject to a pending request to receive a special tax assessment for rehabilitated historic properties (Bailey Bill). The property has been approved for Preliminary Certification but has not yet received Final Certification approval. Any substantive changes made to the property during rehabilitation (prior to Final Certification approval), such as those proposed with this request, shall be reviewed and approved based upon the standards for rehabilitation outlined in Chapter 2, Article IV, Division 3, Section 2-202. Any changes not meeting those standards may disqualify the property from eligibility during the Final Certification process. Should the proposed improvements be scheduled for construction after the property has received Final Certification approval, the proposed improvements would still need to be reviewed based upon the standards for rehabilitation outlined in Chapter 2, Article IV, Division 3, Section 2-202. The Historic Review Board shall make a determination as to whether the proposed improvements are consistent with the standards for rehabilitation. If determined to be consistent, the proposed improvements may be approved and constructed without affecting the special tax assessment on the property. If the proposed improvements are determined to be inconsistent, their construction would disqualify the property from its eligibility for the special tax assessment. (a) Standards for rehabilitation. To be eligible for the special tax assessment, historic rehabilitations must be conducted according to the following standards: (1) The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alterations or of features and spaces that characterize each property shall be avoided. (2) Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development shall not be undertaken. (3) Most properties change over time. Those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved. (4) Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property should be preserved. (5) Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement or of a distinctive feature, the new should match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical or pictorial evidence. 5  (6) Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the most gentle means possible. (7) New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the historic property and its environment. (8) New additions and adjacent new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. Staff Recommendation Should the Board wish to approve the request for a Certificate of Appropriateness, staff would request that the approval motion include a condition to allow staff the ability to approve minor modifications to the plan so as to accommodate the comments and concerns of the various plan reviewers for the Town of Fort Mill.
