Frankie Linder of the City of Boerne planning department summarized the proposal: the applicant — SA Partnership Architects (Frank Valadez) on behalf of the owner listed in the packet as Flying Pigs Enterprises LLC (later identified in the meeting as owner Richard Lee) — seeks approval to remove a small rear addition and replace it with a larger addition that mirrors the original roof line, construct three new decks (covered and uncovered), replace or install 23 windows with historically appropriate 2‑over‑2 divided‑light windows, resurface and re‑side accessory structures to match existing limestone and shiplap siding, add two limestone fireplaces, and repaint the buildings using colors from a historic Sherwin‑Williams palette. Linder characterized the building as a high‑contributing structure constructed circa 1870 and said the project meets UDC review criteria (sections 2.11 and 3.11) and historic‑district guidelines.

Architect Frank Valadez explained that some work (including asbestos‑containing materials removal) had been completed before the commission hearing because of scheduling and safety constraints; he said the team removed nonhistoric asbestos shingles and that the original limestone and historic fabric remain. Valadez and owner Richard Lee stated they plan to preserve a large pecan tree on the site, protect original stone where present, and use a standing‑seam galvanized roof to better reflect the property’s German‑Texas character. Valadez said window replacements will use Andersen windows with true divided lights (exterior muntin applied) and that deck railings and other site features will be selected to avoid competing with the principal historic elevation.

Commissioners asked detailed questions about siding profile, roof material, stone cap color, fence type, gates and trellis, railing height and materials, and the height and placement of new fireplaces (which the architect said are designed to reduce down‑drafting and smoke impact on patrons). Frankie Linder and the architect said any material or design changes during building permit review that deviate from the approved renderings must return to the commission for review.

Commissioner Mines moved to approve the certificate of appropriateness for the rear addition, exterior updates and new structures at 265 North Main Street; Commissioner Nichols seconded the motion and the commission approved the application. The commission’s approval covered the phase and elements presented at the hearing; signage and any subsequent site alterations will require separate applications and approvals if they differ from the submitted materials.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Boerne - Historic Landmark Commission on 06/03/2025 5:30 PM - Jun 03, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Historic Landmark Commission approved a certificate of appropriateness for substantial exterior work and a new rear addition at the high‑contributing historic property at 265 North Main Street; the project includes removal of a rear addition, a larger replacement addition, three decks, 23 new windows, siding and two new fireplaces.","taxTitle","Boerne, Kendall County, Texas","taxId",63804,"location","Texas","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6539426,"Commission approves internally illuminated sign for Boerne Bioworks at 701 South Main despite historic guideline variance",272,678000,950000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3646929-f1e6d4fbbd79019e0c1899a81b773344&start=678&end=950","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3646929-f1e6d4fbbd79019e0c1899a81b773344/thumbnail_678000.jpg","/articles/6539426/Texas/Commission-approves-internally-illuminated-sign-for-Boerne-Bioworks-at-701-South-Main-despite-historic-guideline-variance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6539426-3550d79c82023c8ce47eb15f02a75585/orig.mp4?Expires=1770646204&Signature=gvaKUyrI6FDiF2WbczvnahWslR3s4cdvlPlwGNEd0j0IfegQ9wQIELcIP-ffmX25Q3x6CJdw7Uh6JQtadP5Bol5M22LGzoQtr6ywYY11gPkbkyAz1tTP5vUPfLEhCvXvcxMuwWf2fiNSQOY~VULFZ~5TitQwh3uBP~O-pZE3r2nEvE15vREOtidLA3lF5gZ-Q98d-N9s2FUnfkN84Gw0DeNndzc3h~9Yjf9C7hqdwBsnBo14uGtsF4MAa8-Bm5BIdOVlNV0C7xE5OKLbZxAmw6Wum9NkFRfHM68sD80oWZxkjBPHYfSBDytU75-luw3mnjXmGN4rjt~2vcKOORTKgg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Boerne Historical Landmark Commission on June 3 approved a certificate of appropriateness for a new sign at 701 South Main Street for Boerne Bioworks, a wellness spa, despite the sign’s internal illumination being inconsistent with the historic district guideline.

Planning staff (Foster Simonson) told commissioners the property lies inside the historic district and is classified as a “low contributing” structure originally constructed in 1866. The proposed sign features green and white lettering on a black background, uses two fonts (a sans serif and a calligraphic font) and is internally illuminated. Staff found the sign met Unified Development Code (UDC) requirements and historic design guidelines in several respects — limited number of colors and fonts — but did not meet the historic district guideline that discourages internal illumination. Staff also reported the sign complies with the city’s dark‑sky regulations and recommended flexibility because the property sits at the southern edge of downtown.

The applicant said the sign’s internal illumination already exists and that the project would swap out the sign face without increasing size or scope. Commissioners discussed the prevalence of internally lit signs along Main Street and noted the proposed sign would be relatively dim compared with other existing signs.

Commissioner Mines moved to approve the certificate of appropriateness; a second was recorded verbally and the chair called the vote in favor. The commission approved the sign permit. The minutes show the new sign will be subject to the conditions and standards in the certificate of appropriateness and that further applications (for example, sign mounting or changes to illumination) may require separate approvals.

Three other sign items on the agenda (agenda items 2025‑247, 2025‑248 and 2025‑249, including a proposed sign at 101 South Main Street for Mines Meat Market) were announced by the chair but tabled to next month because the commission did not have a quorum to vote on those items.","The Historic Landmark Commission approved a certificate of appropriateness for a new sign for Boerne Bioworks at 701 South Main Street, finding the design met UDC and dark‑sky standards even though it does not conform to the historic district guideline prohibiting internal illumination.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6539431,"Historic Landmark commissioners approve demolition permit for property listed as 310 West Tyson Street",359,316000,675000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3646929-f1e6d4fbbd79019e0c1899a81b773344&start=316&end=675","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3646929-f1e6d4fbbd79019e0c1899a81b773344/thumbnail_316000.jpg","/articles/6539431/Texas/Historic-Landmark-commissioners-approve-demolition-permit-for-property-listed-as-310-West-Tyson-Street","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6539431-26773330f3cb7a45c49e6e508e033804/orig.mp4?Expires=1770646204&Signature=C1otT6WQMb7-peLdJksczXicaf~ZDUSucEt9I3igHBxN4aT-mLbVidLQyqUVgtGDAgs~qcxmLSi66lLDBHUWUU-gXy8zAz-gIJ7Jke3o08I8NO-Xr3fJoOAdg~MP0~5PEhRMzyOui03qHbHZilAez6BX7o7aviNlC6L4tEBDi397DN80Zsp3dozHOxB3XYIdKvU1X2O1W7ZM2N65v6jTHT1DTFRWAVgX0G~UyB1x5BZRhqZLT6vrk~013RIvIG26YWsDSDmrX~TAwYOkdPo9-KaQSPn5Dgj54yl-2XGKwvVd2nhVbexoHJXc9uhtY8zL7OibP4bF9q-jKHkzpD~VXw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Boerne Historical Landmark Commission on June 3 approved a demolition permit for the property listed on the agenda as 310 West Tyson Street, after staff reported the building — originally constructed in 1946 — is in poor condition and does not meet the commission's criteria for landmark designation.

The decision came after a staff presentation by Foster Simonson of the City of Boerne planning department. Simonson told commissioners the structure is a roughly 3,100‑square‑foot single‑family house (three‑car garage) with two accessory structures and an RV on the lot; the original portion dates to 1946 with three later additions. Staff reported visible foundation and suspected fire damage in exterior photos and said the property is over 50 years old but is not a historic landmark and “does not have any architectural, cultural, or educational value.”

Simonson said the city mailed 27 notices to property owners within 200 feet and received seven written responses in favor of demolition; staff reported receiving no letters opposing the request. Staff recommended approval under Unified Development Code (UDC) section 2.11.b.10 (demolition of historic structures) with one stipulation: removal of a nonconforming chain‑link fence on the north side yard to bring the fencing into compliance with UDC standards.

Commissioner Nichols moved to approve the demolition permit; the motion was seconded by Commissioner Hans and the commission voted to approve the request. The record shows the commission’s site visit was limited to exterior observations; Simonson confirmed staff did not inspect the interior. Commissioners did not identify any architectural features on the exterior photographs that would merit preservation.

The meeting record contains inconsistent renderings of the property address: the agenda introduction identified the site as 310 West Tyson Street, the staff presentation used a similar form, and the motion recorded by a commissioner used the form “310 West Dyson Street.” Because the transcript contains multiple spellings of the street name, the agenda listing — 310 West Tyson Street — is used here as the formal address cited on the meeting agenda; the record notes the inconsistency and that the file should be checked for the official street spelling in the city’s permit record.

The commission’s approval is limited to the demolition permit as presented and includes the staff stipulation about removing the chain‑link fence; no additional conditions or alterations to future redevelopment were specified in the meeting.

Minutes show Commissioner Meinz declared conflicts of interest on other agenda items earlier in the meeting; those items were tabled to the next meeting because the commission would not have a quorum if Meinz participated.","The Boerne Historical Landmark Commission approved a demolition permit for a mid‑century single‑family house listed on the agenda as 310 West Tyson Street after staff found the structure lacked architectural or cultural significance; the approval includes a stipulation to remove a nonconforming chain‑link fence.","actionData","errors"]
