Historic preservation staff told commissioners the building is a non-contributing structure constructed in 2006 but now lies within the expanded Hyde Park Historic District. Staff said the Hyde Park Design Guidelines advise retaining original roof materials and replacing roofing with materials compatible in size, shape, color and texture; clay barrel tile is commonly used for Mediterranean-style buildings and is listed as appropriate in the guidelines.

Mark Weaver, vice president of Ed Taylor Construction and representative for the contractor, said the roof replacement followed extensive storm damage and owner concern about future damage and liability. He said there was confusion between subcontractors and the permit process and that the standing-seam material was chosen at owner request. A representative of the Bailey Family Foundation, the property owner, said the owner sought a more wind-resistant roof after repeated damage.

Staff concluded the standing-seam material was not appropriate to the building's Mediterranean character and exceeded staff's administrative authority, requiring ARC determination. Commissioners expressed concern about approving a retroactive change that departs from the district's established character and cited prior, similar cases where non-compatible materials were denied.

A motion to deny the certificate of appropriateness carried unanimously. Commissioners and staff advised the owner to work with Historic Preservation staff on options that would bring the roof into compliance with the Hyde Park Design Guidelines, including replacement with compatible clay tile or other materials acceptable under the guidelines and Secretary of the Interior standards.

What's next: Staff will advise the owner on corrective options and permitting steps to bring the roof into compliance; the owner may return with a compliant roofing proposal for ARC review.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Architectural Review Commission - 04/09/25","oneSentenceSummary","The Architectural Review Commission denied a certificate of appropriateness for a standing‑seam metal roof that was installed without approval at 912 West Platt Street, finding the metal roof inconsistent with the building's Mediterranean/Spanish character and the Hyde Park Design Guidelines favoring clay barrel tile for that style.","taxTitle","Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida","taxId",2914,"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},6082116,"ARC continues proposed two‑story contemporary/prairie house at 1806 West Bridal for further design and technical detail",4542,2359000,6901000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2939281-0a5f908665b4ca64d321f6c1b535a5b6&start=2359&end=6901","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2939281-0a5f908665b4ca64d321f6c1b535a5b6/thumbnail_2359000.jpg","/articles/6082116/Tampa/Hillsborough-County/Florida/ARC-continues-proposed-twostory-contemporaryprairie-house-at-1806-West-Bridal-for-further-design-and-technical-detail","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6082116-4f1234df4bd7ca9c2ab859cf718d8732/orig.mp4?Expires=1771190512&Signature=YAjsu~M7XuMfMlR0mszUXeANBzbvBRwrJZVYHOgOyvO75irQ3y2lh6ufbtG4loZhG8GR9oyYCWNGaFYXtH6oQFn-1JEVmSff9vDCcgMCwXQ84j7FeLIkiK~emJmwFotWiYot1aBQ0NiPGQu9rlVCJ3XzQPUnqbeMrFMPqP7JoA3qoW2~rHpHw3JaHZzVHVf9U3MerI4VlMbJvyw3SfbzznMAdzDr3rtSmQPUAJ1oWLCkfLxUoP8D0xy6-FIYhOUOFJT81zubPknbhNhSQ0m4QVTzRFaVH7dT-3z0pMjKcKGhkJP3l1HUW8ZTBhN59FSAMoe-AnP0lHdjaCqSy~VlzA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Architectural Review Commission voted to continue preliminary review of a proposed two-story single-family residence at 1806 West Bridal Avenue to the May 5 public hearing to allow the applicant to supply additional technical drawings and to refine the building's massing and siting.

Staff described the project as a contemporary interpretation of Prairie-style architecture, with a two-story main residence and a connecting breezeway to an existing detached accessory structure. Ron Vila, planner with Historic Preservation, said staff found the proposal generally consistent for preliminary approval but requested additional wall sections and details on how the design meets Hyde Park guidelines and zoning setbacks.

The applicant's agent said the project will include stacked-bond brick, cement stucco base, aluminum-clad (dark finish) windows, composite trim and three-foot overhangs. The proposed site plan shows replacement of large concrete areas with ribbon drive strips and introduction of low retaining walls around portions of the parcel. The agent said mechanical equipment would be tucked between the main house and accessory structure and that the accessory structure itself is not part of the current review.

Commissioners expressed several substantive concerns the applicant must address before final approval: (1) porch and wall setback averaging with adjacent properties (commissioners asked for clearer measurements and the average line used to establish front-yard context), (2) wall sections showing window recesses, materials and the junction between brick and stucco (a consistent datum or water table was requested), (3) massing and perceived second-floor height (some commissioners found the second-floor volume high relative to neighborhood examples), and (4) site coverage and impervious surface treatment (the applicant acknowledged the project would exceed a 50% impervious threshold and said underground retention would be designed by a civil engineer).

The applicants acknowledged flexibility on porch depth, retaining wall heights and some floor elevations; the owners said they favored 10-foot floor-to-floor heights to create generous interior volumes but indicated willingness to adjust. Natural Resources reviewed the site and indicated a large on-site oak (noted in the plan as 45-inch) can be removed; mitigation requirements were discussed.

The commission's motion to continue was seconded and passed unanimously. Staff set the date for the next public hearing and asked the applicant to provide revised drawings for staff review by April 16 so materials can be included in the May 5 packet.

What's next: Applicant to submit the requested wall sections, revised elevations and documentation of setback averaging and proposed stormwater/underground retention by the staff deadline for inclusion in the May 5 agenda packet.","The Architectural Review Commission continued preliminary review of a proposed two-story contemporary prairie-style residence at 1806 West Bridal Avenue, asking the applicant for additional wall sections, massing refinements, porch/wall setback averaging and documentation showing how the project will meet impervious surface limits.",{"_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},6082121,"ARC meeting roundup: continuations, one conditional fence approval, a new-construction continuation and a roof denial",1925,391000,2316000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2939281-0a5f908665b4ca64d321f6c1b535a5b6&start=391&end=2316","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2939281-0a5f908665b4ca64d321f6c1b535a5b6/thumbnail_391000.jpg","/articles/6082121/Tampa/Hillsborough-County/Florida/ARC-meeting-roundup-continuations-one-conditional-fence-approval-a-new-construction-continuation-and-a-roof-denial","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6082121-b3ae28a72068d2f69f196bb8ae49b53a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771190512&Signature=dNNv2ScKYTGJ9dOUt87KOFiskMKAJW0IdMXKFwGF8B3eDXkixxhRfyqKcmNPIwk-hFQCNuenWlUMXZ0f1gMK5k5iGV8iTzYhNFqFJ74528IKmF~VP7k8N88XwNGePedazsFttB~M6~eZFLLCpCTgfMMXwrbGJhqBEIBDAzWWHusFM-h4WFarKS4AgQGHdtb2zs41FO3yoqdZZnzYIZmPNiXsQ160tjTsXETZN4ihm8B0KZFDsGCp~548Ys2dm-d56llLm-UJQl8Hurh6tGY~uY4F6xa6yHnF1dxwgDuHBM1nHeRgCBpyY9~K9oA~wERR4PEdK5PxJQAXyYserEe8Pw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Tampa Architectural Review Commission handled multiple applications and motions at its recent Hyde Park public hearing. Commissioners unanimously continued two items to the May 5 public hearing, approved one certificate of appropriateness with conditions, denied one certificate of appropriateness, and received submitted documents and exhibits into the record.

Outcomes at a glance

- ARC-25-0000171 (800 South Packwood Avenue): continued to May 5, 2025 (motion passed).

- ARC-24-0000410 (1822 West Hills Avenue): certificate of appropriateness granted for a six-foot composite (Trex) fence with conditions requiring recessed placement where the fence meets the house; motion passed unanimously.

- ARC-25-0000155 (1806 West Bridal Avenue): new construction (two-story single-family contemporary/prairie-style) continued to May 5, 2025 for additional refinement and required submittals (massing, wall sections, site-setback averaging and additional construction details); motion passed.

- ARC-25-0000111 (912 West Platt Street): certificate of appropriateness denied for retroactive replacement of a clay barrel-tile roof with a standing-seam metal roof; motion passed unanimously.

- Record action: submitted documents and exhibits for the hearing were received and filed by commission vote.

Staff and commissioners noted recurring themes across items: the Hyde Park Design Guidelines and Chapter 27 of the City Code of Ordinances remain the controlling criteria for the commission's decisions, and alternative materials (including composite fences and metal roofs) are reviewed on a case-by-case basis for compatibility with a building's style and the district. Several commissioners stressed consistency in future rulings, noting that approvals of alternative materials for one property do not automatically set precedent for other sites.

Several continuations were requested to allow applicants to return with additional documentation and refinements. For the new-construction item at 1806 West Bridal Avenue, commissioners asked for detailed wall sections, explicit porch and wall setback averaging relative to adjacent houses, and documentation showing how the project will meet impervious-surface limits (proposed underground retention was discussed). For the roof case at 912 West Platt Street, staff recommended denial because the metal standing-seam roof is not consistent with the building's Mediterranean/Spanish character and the Hyde Park guidelines that prefer clay barrel tile for that style.

Vote tallies recorded in public remarks were unanimous where recorded; commissioners present were counted for roll-call tallies when the transcript recorded voice votes.","At the Architectural Review Commission hearing, commissioners continued two agenda items to the May 5 public hearing, granted a conditional certificate of appropriateness for a composite fence at 1822 West Hills Avenue, denied retroactive approval for a standing seam roof at 912 West Platt Street, and received submitted documents into the record.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":92,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6082126,"ARC approves composite (Trex) replacement fence at Hyde Park bungalow with conditions",1880,436000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2939281-0a5f908665b4ca64d321f6c1b535a5b6&start=436&end=2316","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2939281-0a5f908665b4ca64d321f6c1b535a5b6/thumbnail_436000.jpg","/articles/6082126/Tampa/Hillsborough-County/Florida/ARC-approves-composite-Trex-replacement-fence-at-Hyde-Park-bungalow-with-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6082126-00de158df2affb816cd145b64d8b21f2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771190512&Signature=ky1UYgHQvA2wWKZ3ZiG0gpE6SPVODzrfi0U6xqKZRcIjDSow8T6MMUhF0tI5W2bKwyKYnbLKX0piKl7XzSAmUdAK9FgJeYmylsgib2SVLOcL0f-GgwgqQ6nefYSwYzfyaTgy5Hu70bDtMuUb9MLA6h5vK3QtOvg-AxwU5jDY1Py-Uxz65ZANgR2jGC1Q3EPRN6u~b0422UH679P-oONmI5rBOik8CNgmcsRvzgDhzJrgIWfitViN9q0iJ-rS9Ry6o2-3u~1gWHqlhxApLc-5W11a1Skams-6YTgy06QRbnFP9WpXcpbKSnVzniKE8-AwqYHViW15LxrDNafmxLmUGA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Architectural Review Commission on [date of hearing] unanimously approved a certificate of appropriateness allowing the replacement of an existing rear/side fence at 1822 West Hills Avenue with a six-foot composite (Trex) fence, with conditions requiring the fence to be recessed behind the house's corner boards where it meets the building.

The approval follows a staff recommendation and a letter of support from the Hyde Park Neighborhood Association; commissioners said the material and detailing presented were compatible with the district so long as the fence did not obscure the home's primary geometry facing the street. The commission required that where the fence joins the house it be set behind the corner boards and that the portion on the zoning front be recessed beyond the main facade.

Property owner Rob Carey told the commission the current wood fence was badly damaged by recent storms and years of weathering, and that the owners sought a composite wood-alike product for durability, reduced maintenance and sustainability. Carey said the material is composed largely of recycled content, is resistant to insects and rot, and carries a 25-year warranty. He said the owners planned a modest relocation on the Albany-facing side of the lot, moving the fence out approximately six to eight feet to increase usable backyard area around an existing pool.

Ron Vila, historic preservation staff, said the application required commission review because the material is an alternative to traditional wood and vinyl, and staff had concluded the proposed Trex-style material met Hyde Park design guidelines for scale, color and texture. Vila noted the board has previously declined vinyl and that alternative materials are reviewed case by case.

Commissioners asked for details on color and long-term appearance; the applicants indicated they were considering a Winchester Gray tone but were open to alternatives. Commissioners also pressed that fence posts and detailing avoid damaging nearby tree roots, and that posts be located to minimize root conflicts.

A motion to grant a certificate of appropriateness for the drawings and documents presented carried unanimously. The commission recorded the approval with two specific conditions: that the portion of the fence on the zoned frontage be recessed beyond the primary geometry of the house, and that both sides of the fence where they join the house be connected past the corner boards.

The commission and staff emphasized that approval of an alternative material on this site does not automatically approve the product for other locations; staff and commissioners said alternative materials will continue to be evaluated case by case.

What's next: The applicant will return with final construction details that reflect the recessing conditions and post locations that avoid major tree roots, after which staff will confirm compliance with the conditions noted by the ARC.","The City of Tampa Architectural Review Commission approved a certificate of appropriateness allowing a six-foot composite (Trex) privacy fence at 1822 West Hills Avenue in the Hyde Park Historic District, provided the fence is recessed behind the home's corner boards and tie-ins to the house extend past those boards.","actionData","errors"]
