Staff recommended approving item 1, the increase in width of the existing concrete apron wings, but recommended denial of item 2 (a new concrete curb cut and apron 18'\b wide tapering to 15'\b) and item 3 (a 15-foot-by-48-foot gravel driveway). Staff advised the applicant that landscape-based approaches and properly specified drainage work that meet the guidelines could be considered in an administrative request and encouraged coordination to mitigate stormwater impacts.

Homeowner Yolanda Jimenez told the board she has experienced repeated foundation and stormwater problems at the property and that earlier city street repairs had required multiple fixes. She said the widened apron and the additional gravel area were installed to route water away from the house; she presented a petition with 51 signatures in support. Multiple neighbors and neighborhood organizations opposed the change, saying the work was done without permits, that the gravel is an eyesore and may spread into neighboring yards and the street, and that the applicant did not notify the neighborhood association prior to the work. Several voicemail comments and in-person speakers opposed the gravel apron; one caller supported repairing the site.

Commissioners clarified that staff recommends approving only the existing apron wing enlargement (item 1) and denying the added curb cut and gravel area (items 2 and 3). The board approved staff recommendations on a 7-1 roll call (Flores recorded as Nay; Garcia, Brigard, Setzer, Fullerton, Pollock, Vasquez and Sepulveda recorded as Aye). The motion included direction to staff to work with the applicant on compliant landscaping and drainage alternatives consistent with historic-district guidelines.

Action: Approve staff recommendation to allow widening of existing driveway apron wings; deny new curb cut and long gravel driveway. Vote recorded: Flores (Nay), Garcia (Aye), Brigard (Aye), Setzer (Aye), Fullerton (Aye), Pollock (Aye), Vasquez (Aye), Sepulveda (Aye).","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","San Antonio - Historic Compliance and Technical Advisory Board - Feb 21, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","San Antonio's CTAB approved the widening of an existing driveway apron at 210 Hermine but denied a separate new curb cut and a new gravel parking apron; the board directed the owner to work with staff on acceptable landscaping and drainage solutions.","taxTitle","San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas","taxId",2771,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6682291,"Board continues fence request at 206 E.

Owner Rob Rask and architect Michelle Cruz told the board the corner lot faces McCullough, an arterial with a bus stop and faster traffic, and said the family sought a fence for child safety and to make their porch usable. Cruz said the lot is triangle-shaped, the house faces a busy corridor with a steep downhill approach, and several nearby properties along McCullough already have 4-foot fences and stone-and-iron examples.

Staff and members of the Monte Vista association expressed concern that the applicant had not previously consulted the neighborhood association and that the district historically lacks front-yard fencing; staff recommended denial as presented. The Monte Vista association\u0018s letter—filed with staff materials—opposed the presented design. A voicemail from a nearby resident who said he has worked on historic houses supported the proposed materials and noted nearby precedents.

Given those competing views, commissioners said a continuance to allow the applicant to refine the design with the Monte Vista association and to work with staff was appropriate; the motion to continue to the March meeting passed on roll call with recorded ayes from Flores, Garcia, Brigard, Setzer, Fullerton, Pollock, Vasquez and Sepulveda.","The board continued a request by owners of 206 East Summit for a 4-foot front-yard fence to allow the applicants and staff to consult Monte Vista Historic Association on design and compatibility; the continuance passed unanimously.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6682296,"Board approves restoration-first plan for 1817 E.

Staff told the board that the applicant\u0018s drawings and the verbally stated intent did not match: the submitted elevations showed reduced historic window openings and vinyl window specifications, while the applicant said he intended to repair existing windows and use new windows only on a roughly 300-square-foot rear addition. Staff recommended removing the nonhistoric vinyl and faux-stone cladding, repairing the historic 1\u00117 siding in-kind where feasible, and requiring fully wood or wood-clad windows meeting staff standards rather than vinyl.

Applicant Rigo Thomas said he had not realized the process was so detailed and that he and his architect had submitted specifications that included vinyl; he said they were working on updated wood-window specifications. A voicemail from Lulu Francois, chairwoman of the Dignowity Hill Historic Neighborhood Review Committee, supported staff\u0018s recommendation and urged preserving the decorative historic window at the front facade.

Commissioners asked staff and the applicant multiple clarification questions about the existing siding beneath the nonhistoric cladding, the differences between the drawings and verbal comments, and site visits staff had made since October. Staff explained that the drawings are the binding documents and must be updated to reflect any stipulations the board adopts; the board\u0018s motion to approve included the staff recommendations and required the applicant to submit revised specifications to staff for review.

Action: Motion to approve staff recommendations (remove nonhistoric siding, repair or replace historic siding in-kind, require wood or wood-clad windows, do not reduce historic openings). The motion passed on roll call (Flores, Garcia, Brigard, Setzer, Fullerton, Pollock, Vasquez, Sepulveda recorded as Aye).","The board approved staff recommendations for a certificate of appropriateness at 1817 East Houston, requiring removal of nonhistoric siding, repair or in-kind replacement of historic wood siding, and wood or wood-clad windows on the primary facade.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6682299,"CTAB re-elects chair and vice chair; approves minutes and annual meeting schedule",441,7000,448000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2372090-97aae67860161cf1e3e78d1f49f0bf67&start=7&end=448","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2372090-97aae67860161cf1e3e78d1f49f0bf67/thumbnail_7000.jpg","/articles/6682299/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/CTAB-re-elects-chair-and-vice-chair-approves-minutes-and-annual-meeting-schedule","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6682299-39f3ad43993987eded44058f5dd12615/orig.mp4?Expires=1771176453&Signature=faPm2Jvnolocvc7ZICvzyLJQJPdNLonXn6Wnu7RYnPJMP2nbXu7LSQr3ZiRV8ueIBTjcz894PvcjwG3xlTmZ48IKTTFCUOqrsnRerGEYmhLhOTfsICxaewLGdJ~iM-2HG~YFXHH6VvzVyo~PiPrWgNTmTEGHnU0MVsiOFBUge0~Q8Py2XjgcthC5XTINJ3MJreyeZFbBk9q2VTV22SI~3UCBNEJJmknCJlKHtLPllGBy5zhoyo2lgGo--4UtbghpoxkVodCQxe-7v-40Z9-VXQYp0c5KYMXwTAncAYojiishEausEm2zMndbMqw8Ggp6ltl2iSeWc~y-ogNoixZj6w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Compliance and Technical Advisory Board re-elected Juanita Sepulveda as chair and Jason Vasquez as vice chair and approved procedural items including meeting minutes and the board\u0018s annual schedule at its February session.
