What is the purpose of the agenda change and new application for the Goose Creek Historic District?

Carl Lee 0:02

All the committee members present, Elizabeth Eldridge, Madeline Skinner, Lucas Berger, Alan Cochran, and myself, Carl Lee. With that, staff, would you please introduce the application? I'm sorry about our last minute change of the agenda. We got an order, this is for more than the units in the store district apparently several adjacent property owners are hoping to be added into the district or not actually in the application previously as they've recently been doing more public outreach about you know the guideline drafting meeting and the rezoning process in general that's exciting but unfortunately it sounds like there's some more review that needs to be done since there's whole extra 200 acres in the application than there used to be.

Carl Lee 0:54

So, last minute change, but thank you all for your flexibility there. So, sorry.

Heidi 1:02

I was just going to add that the district guidelines component of the project, we're going to keep moving that forward. So, we're still having the community meeting on the 22nd of this month. folks are able to calm events, listen to the community input. It's well, it's probably told you we have a consultant that's working on that.

Unknown 1:25

We need that conversation. Yes. So our only application

Carl Lee 1:33

agenda is second submission of last month's application. Mr. He's back here. Since CAP 2026-0010, Wally Rahim, Compartescaping, Pavilion, and Outdoor Kitchen at 19184 Bunker Crossing Court in the Goose Creek Historic District. 10-492-168589-000, deferred to August 10th, 2026, the year of the meeting. Well, I think I've seen this, I think all of you were here last month, if I recall. So you're familiar with this property, just over an acre and being out farm subdivision recently approved. Subdivision it relative in the historic district. There's a pool house that was approved in the rear yard in 2023 by you all. And the current proposal is on this 10th, 2026 meeting. The application is just under 30 square feet of hardscaping behind the existing dwelling with a precast paver patio, path to the existing driveway, steps from the existing first level rear door of the patio, fire pit with bench seating, outdoor kitchen feature, prefabricated overfilling fireplace, some low walls at the edge of the hardscaping area,

Carl Lee 2:56

There's been several changes here, but one is that the vertical elements of the application are now supposed to be clad in a stone veneer rather than a precast material, as

previously

proposed. So, it's proposed to change the pool house from its approval in 2023 in a minor way. It sounds like it's where the requirement's there.

Unknown 3:22

Say that again?

Carl Lee 3:23

Is the applicants aware of the requirements associated with modifying a previously approved CAP approval? So the issues you all identified last time, as I understand, were the design of the pavilion, the materials, colors, and roof form and pitch of that pavilion structure, the material selections for the surfacing elements, And also the vertical elements of the application and just general questions about your purview in this instance. So the previous staff report took issue with the consistency of material choices of the post patio, outdoor kitchen, fire pit, and the design materials of the post pavilion. It also identified concrete papers in the staff report itself, but the meeting discussion review, they were actually more accurately could be described as precast, which I suppose is the same thing,

Carl Lee 4:19

That was what the previous submission was. We did request a new zoning referral because the footprint of the application didn't change, so there are no new zoning issues for you all to be aware of. Here you are for context in the Goose Creek Historic District. This is a view of the facade of the property in question

this is from the backyard looking at the rear of the structure where the post improvements are where the improvements are proposed and telegraph springs is is past where the house is and past where actually further houses and that tree line are
