 We'll begin to report out sessions. I think that there were lots and lots of good questions and lots of opportunities to approve communication and to clarify communication about historic designation. We'd like to take 3 minutes per table to to bring up your questions and comments and then we will put those up on the board here and put some tape out and I'll get some more ready for you so that we can make sure to capture all of the. information and all of the discussion this evening. We're going to go ahead and start with table one, wherever table one is, all right? Would you like the microphone? Just read out your concerns and your questions. Our questions are, are standards the same in every historic district and will the historic district make property taxes go up? Another question is what makes an area or district qualified for historic designation and second why would residents want to be designated historic and why wouldn't they? To what degree does a historic designation control the colors of property other wants to paint is or perhaps? Table number two. Box of Pershing Avenue in Minky Park and our answer to the first question we have why is it necessary or why was it necessary to change the application process from a 51% to a 30% two years ago? Another question is the concern, the necessity of going to the office for a COA if 95 or 99% of the applications are approved why can't the process be streamlined or used e-mail versus going down to the office? Another one is for boundaries. It appears that the boundaries are being gerrymandered in affected areas rather than considering a whole neighborhood like Minky Park. And then another concern is how long is it before an application can be submitted if the first one expires? If the two years go by and there's not enough support for an application does that mean that say through the weekend someone enough change their vote on Monday that they can submit a new application? So shouldn't there be some downtime or dead time between applications? And then of course what was brought up here tonight strongly affects Minky Park in the concern of restorations versus preservation. Who decides the difference? We have a coffee shop going in on Davis Court that is a use of a property and the people use restored the house very nicely but yet there's a lot of concern over the use of it going to be commercial in the neighborhood. Thank you. Table three. Table three reporting. I currently have mindful sighting on my house. If it gets damaged can I repair it or will I have to remove it? Question number two. If 51% of the area residents are opposed to being historic will the process stop before going to HDRC or can 30% complete the process? Question three. If you want to paint your house the same color do you need a certificate of appropriateness? Thank you. An opportunity to improve the communications so that's good. Table four this is Roger Grapp. I live up in Princeton. Question one. Does the 99% approval number that you had include resubmitted IVI that were sent back to the revision the very first time? Question two. Can we speak to easy accessibility to city staff, OHP? Will there be a specific neighborhood representative? What's the process for requests to be put in? And I guess third. Are there any numbers on resale being affected once something falls under historical designation? Alright this is table number five. Question number one. How much time does it take to have my project approved by OHP? Question number two. How did the opposition in Manki Park arrive at the figure that my taxes will go up by 33% just because of historic designation? Question number three. What about people that don't like to be told what to do? Question number four. What can I do next to someone that doesn't like to be told what to do? Question number five. First question is who sets the boundaries? Can you speak a little louder please? Sorry that better. Our first question is who sets the boundaries? Our second question is going to be the 30% how does that process works and what is actually what is the whole process to get the 30% to get everything going? The next question is how is UDC and Rio different from the historic designation? Because I believe we currently have the UDC and the Rio and we're trying to figure out what the difference would be. And then our last question is is there a middle ground between the historical designation and the neighborhood conservation? Next table. You think you'd be very easier to stand? I'm not sure. We had some practical questions on like for instance windows. Would there be a possibility of people who would know how to repair wooden windows to show people who can't do it, how to do it, and how to make them as tight as an aluminum double window. Also we would ask for consideration on whether or not metal roofs can be considered as part of what is appropriate for a neighborhood. We also talked just briefly about what the basic problem is here. What are people's individual rights and what are people's responsibilities to the community and to the neighborhood. So that's something everybody has to answer first. Also we want to know what are the extra burdens that we would have as a historic district over the neighborhood conservation district. Exactly one of the things that we have to do in addition to what we exactly have to do there. And also we wonder how the tender of this argument got so poisonous using words that are loaded like theft and sending paid employees out canvassing in the neighborhood and using ad hominem attacks on the radio against people and their positions and doing that anonymously. And we just want to see that doesn't happen anymore. Thank you for that and I'm going to ask you to please keep your comments and your questions related to historic designation. Individual personalities of neighborhoods are just that individual personalities and that's just the way it is. But please if you would keep your comments on task that would be helpful. Thank you. The first question is what are the last any what are the landscape restrictions under historic designation. Other than one centuries. If we've heard things like that and seeds without any permission seriously. In addition to that we're interested in doing what the guidelines are for any kind of sustainability technology such as solar or rain harvest that people might be interested in putting on to their homes. And then we're concerned with how we let people know or maybe how you let people know that we already have code compliance for some of the issues. So there are some rules already in place in terms of what you can and can't do on your property. And on top of that we also have the SCD guidelines as well. So how do you get people to be aware of those restrictions already. Then the last one would be are there any standards of quality of materials for repairs or renovations. And this question is the result of most of what we live on Queen Anne Court and there's a house that's being redone right now at 402. And they're using very sustained materials. So our question is, is there something that could be done or would be done under historic designation or would you address that? So about the rebounds. What does historic do that the NCD cannot or does not do to protect the neighborhood? I first think we'll already know that. How does historic add value for the homeowner? If I live in a bungalow and my neighbor tears down his bungalow and builds a multi-story mansion. What systems are currently in place to protect me from my neighbor? Are there any with historic designation helping? What are the requirements to be considered historic? If the city can't administrate NCD effectively, why bother adding another layer of city to my life? Thank you. How many people in Maggie have liked our individual landmark status since the neighborhood historic application was submitted? I'm going to see them read this one. With 99% of the 1450 applications were approved, doesn't that mean that 1435 applicants wasted their time? No. All right. If you can't add any fresh ideas. One question, what is the difference in your playing between the conservation district and historical designation which is in the U.S. government? What additional restrictions are enforced concerning exterior changes and modifications solely by reason of historical designation? If addition for historical designation can be changed, how do we ever reach a conclusion? Will historic designation prevent commercial or high-rise encroachment? Ladies and gentlemen, why should the city be able to control what I can do with my property? How do you know 51% of nature park residents are in favor of historic designation? Do we get a vote on it referencing the current UDC code 35605? There is no vote. There is no 51%. If HDRC is rejecting 40% of the items that are out there on the registry and you can go look at that agenda, how can it be 99% approval and why? That's table 11. Asks what does the city gain of Mankey Park or any other district becomes historic? Why should the HDRC's members' opinions of what should or should not happen with a property carry more weight than the desires of a property's owner when the owner's desires are in line with city of San Antonio building and property maintenance standards? Who on city staff believes this methodology of historic designation is the best iteration of the ordinance to date? And how do I know if I'm in a historic district boundary already? I'm sorry, we put it all on one rule of things. Here we go. Why did OHP staffer announce in an NBNA meeting that 30% in favor of historic faking process a done deal and no recourse for 51%? I mean, Taylor's office, I stand correct. Also, wasn't 30% in favor of historic needed to make these informational meetings necessary or possible? Is it true that there is a $500 fee I added fine? That's me, I'm editing. If you don't get a certificate of appropriateness approval, what can neighbors do to protect their neighborhood if we do not have historic district status? Why is 50 years the average age to go historic? How can we get a rewrite of the ordinance affecting this process? What can be done to make the conservation district co-compliance and the conservation district more efficient so we wouldn't need to go historic? Prior, in other words, are the other processes doing their job? What is the role of OHP in involving citizens in the entire process? Alright, there's two on one. What are the benefits to homeowners going historic? And the other is what is the demolition process? I think I'm getting something wrong. Thank you. Can you hear me? Okay. We're the last two. The tables are left. Sorry. A concern of ours is houses becoming neglected or vacant or dilapidated, et cetera, if not protected or preserved. Concern, I do not want my future home plans pageant hold because a handful of neighbors have a distaste of new home styles. Why is there discrimination against landlords in Mickey Park? Why did the OHP say that once 30% has been achieved, it's basically a done deal? Can I change my duplex to a single family home in order under historic designation? If dilapidated or unreparable, are we not able to demolish our home under historic district designation? Concern, lack of concrete answers for specific repair questions. For example, asbestos removal and windows, solar panel windows or tin roofs. Concern, higher costs of repairs and upgrades under historic. What are the limitations to changing the landscape if they say there are none? Okay. Our two questions were what are the fees associated with the administration's certificate of appropriateness? And can the OHP help research, historicizing alternatives to put your homes even if not designated historic and how walk-in or appointment? All the tables. Well, I must say I'm quite surprised that there's such a variety and not a lot of redundancy. So that's a great opportunity to approve that communication. While we take a two minute break here to stretch, and if you want to take a look at these up here, we're going to continue to put them up. We just had to get Corey to see it's a little bit taller. This is also an opportunity for anyone who has to leave early to make a discrete exit. And then what we'll do is we will begin the open commentary and collect information as a group as a whole. So take a little stretch break, and the restrooms are around the corner here, and then we'll convene in two or three minutes. Everyone that is staying, if I can have you be seated so that we can make sure to give an opportunity for everyone who wants to bring comments and questions up to the larger group. The first thing I want to say because there have been a number of questions is what's going to happen to these questions. They will be input into the computer and then OHP will respond to them and that will go on to their website. It won't happen by tomorrow, but it will happen as quickly as possible. And some of the questions that are up here are very easily answerable by the staff right now. So we thought with your permission we'll take an opportunity to do that, and that will also go up on the website. And then we will go to the public comments. Yes, sir. Could they make a mark on the ones they answered? Sure. Yeah, a little green mark or something like that. So we know which ones were open and which ones were possible. Absolutely, no problem with that. We're trying to remember, you know, we took a note while you were speaking, and there were a few that we definitely want to answer tonight. And so we're trying to find where they ended up. Oh, the line are going closer. Sorry about that. So if I live in a bungalow, my neighbor tears down his bungalow and builds a multi-story mansion while systems are currently in place to protect me from my neighbor. With the sort destination, there are city-wide sort design guidelines that would be in place as part of the design review process. There is a specific chapter in those guidelines for new constructions. And in those guidelines, it does address things like scale and massing, and a lot of the bigger things that would restrict non-conforming development within a more residential neighborhood. And so if you do have single-story residences on the street, there aren't design controls that would limit the height and scale of new houses being constructed. Second question, is it necessary to go to the office for a COA, which is a certificate of appropriateness? And then if 99% is approved, why not use email or a streamlined process? And that's a very easy answer. We do use email. The forms are downloadable on our website. It's a PDF format. You can fill it in. You can email it to OHP at San Antonio dot gov. And a planner will follow up within 24 hours if they can. If they have more questions, they'll contact you and let you know. But email is an option as well as people mail in their applications physically outside of actually coming down to the office. Can everybody hear me? Yeah. Am I supposed to be too close to the mic? Okay, great. Corey just answered a question about staff and how you can get a hold of us and how accessible we are. I just want to point out there was another question. Easy accessibility to city staff should be addressed, a specific neighborhood representative. And actually, we have something set up like that. I'm not sure if you are familiar with all of our faces and our names, but we have a staff member leave us in June. And so prior to her departure, Corey and Sarah took all of our historical stories and divided them up. And they were the kind of, they were the liaisons. Kind of, I joke around saying, you know, you guys are kind of the ear on the street. And you know what people are concerned about. And you know what the questions are. And you're the same person that they can contact whenever they have a question. So we're going to continue that format where we currently staff pretty soon. And so you will have someone that your neighborhood can contact anytime. It's someone who will make an effort to distribute any kind of new information to you. So the answer is, yeah, we do have neighborhood representatives. And I want to go ahead and answer another question real quick that was, can I change my Netflix for a single family home in historic? Really, we were talking about historic designation and how that is part of the zoning process. And it's an overlay zoning. And what that means is your base zoning is what determines the use of your property. And that's still in the room in case you have any technical questions. Tell me if I get it wrong, Kat. But your base zoning is what determines the use of the property. Single family residents do flex, multifamily, commercial, industrial and so on. Overlay does not affect that at all. So if your base zoning allows for you to.
