Staff told commissioners they sent 35 letters to owners named on the 2019 Historic Preservation Plan list; two of those letters could not be delivered because the addresses in the plan were incorrect, one property listed had been demolished since 2019 and one owner replied that they were not interested. Staff also reported that three other property owners contacted staff to request more information and that at least one owner asked for time to settle in before pursuing designation.

On the project matrix and incentives, staff said incentive work was on hold pending additional background research; a separate review of local historic district signage is planned for October or November. Commissioners asked staff to prioritize a small set of achievable tasks before the end of the year and to focus on \"easy wins\" in the remaining meetings.

Staff provided an update on the Southbridge historic resources survey: the planning consultant SWCA submitted a first draft in August, staff returned comments and are awaiting a revised draft; staff plans a formal presentation to the commission when the report is finalized that will address eligibility recommendations for local and National Register listings.

Staff also said the department is preparing a new public story map built from earlier \"Denton Revealed\" preservation material, with a September launch planned to highlight \"lost\" or under‑documented Denton sites.

Significant for applicants, staff warned commissioners that a change in state law (effective Sept. 1) requires agenda packets to be posted with three full business days' notice. As a result, the Historic Landmark Commission packets will be posted on the Tuesday before the Monday meeting instead of the previous Friday posting. Staff told the commission this will shift application submittal expectations from two weeks prior to approximately three weeks prior to allow adequate staff review time.

Staff closed by noting the commission has three remaining regular meetings this calendar year: October 13, November 10 and December 8; staff also said special meetings remain possible if workload requires them. Commissioners and staff discussed coordination and internal communication practices to ensure quorum monitoring and timely responses to staff emails.

Staff told commissioners the large, multi‑phase residence dates in part to the late 19th century and was constructed in three main phases, with architectural elements ranging from Victorian vernacular and Italianate to mid‑century additions, including a 1960s pool and cabana. Staff said the property meets criteria for: distinguishing architectural characteristics, notable elements of design and materials, exemplification of local cultural and historical heritage, and identification with a person significant to the city — citing Dr. Harold Brenholtz, a longtime North Texas State University educator and community organizer, as a notable owner.

The designation is consistent with the city\u0000s 2019 Historic Preservation Plan and the Denton 2040 Comprehensive Plan, staff said. The presenter told the commission that the property falls within the Den[ton] neighborhood, is zoned R‑4 and sits on approximately four acres. After the presentation, staff recommended approval and commissioners moved to adopt the recommendation.

Commissioner (unnamed) described the house as \"the most unique thing I think I've seen so far\" on the commission, noting the visible layers of construction and the property's hybrid appearance. Leanne Todd, who identified herself in the meeting as the property owner, described living at the house since the early 1990s and shared anecdotes about neighbors and historic memories tied to the site; the owner also confirmed she had made repairs and investments in the property.

A motion to accept staff recommendations was made and seconded. Commissioner John Black and Commissioner Sherman were recorded as seconding and voting in favor during the roll call; commissioners present vocalized \"aye\" and the motion passed with no recorded opposition.

Staff clarified in response to a question from a commissioner that the local designation is separate from tax status and that designation is the first step that makes a property eligible for the next steps under the city's historic preservation program. Commissioners thanked the owner for preserving the property and noted interest in conducting an oral history with the owner to capture personal stories associated with the house.

The commission's approval places 3316 Roselawn Drive on the city\u0000s list of locally designated historic landmarks and starts any next procedures tied to that designation under local code and preservation policy. The record of the meeting did not include a full roll‑call list of all commissioners present; the transcript records the motion, vocal \"aye\" votes and a unanimous outcome but does not specify a numeric tally in the minutes.
