The commission and City of Boerne staff recognized his service and presented a parting gift that included locally themed items and historical mementos. Paul Barwick, who identified himself as a longtime staff liaison, and other commissioners spoke in appreciation of Justin’s tenure and contribution to local preservation efforts.

Frank Linder (Planning Department) and other staff members noted Justin’s long service, his role in past projects including a historic-district survey and design guidelines work, and his efforts to balance preservation with private property rights. The exchange included light remarks referencing Kendall County history and local artifacts presented to Justin.

Later in the meeting, staff member Heather announced she has accepted a new position as executive assistant to the chief and assistant chiefs in the Boerne Fire Department and that the May meeting would be her last with the planning department. Commissioners thanked Heather for her service and wished her well in the new role.

Both personnel items were presented as agenda item 2025-199 and a later staff announcement; they required no formal commission vote.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Boerne - Historic Landmark Commission on 05/06/2025 5:30 PM - May 06, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioner Justin announced he is stepping down after 16 years on the Boerne Historic Landmark Commission; staff and commission members thanked him and presented a gift.

Planner Frank Linder explained the sign is attached to the side of a circa-1960 commercial building and is visible primarily from Hilltop Drive — a road that becomes a private drive shortly after the property — rather than from Blanco Road. Linder said the existing sign is roughly 2-by-3 feet, metal, non-lit and uses multiple colors including pink and blue gradients; staff found it consistent with Unified Development Code chapter 9 sign regulations but not strictly with historic-district color guidance because it uses more than four colors and non-earth tones.

Because the sign is not visible from East Blanco and the building is a low-contributing property, staff recommended flexible application of the district guidelines and recommended approval of the COA. The commission approved the COA 4-0 (action item 2025-206). No applicant representative appeared in person. Commissioners noted the property’s main signage facing Blanco remains the primary public identifier for the businesses on the site.","Staff recommended and the commission approved a certificate of appropriateness for a non-lit wall sign at 302 East Blanco Road (Happy Nails) citing limited visibility from the main street and the building’s low-contributing status, despite the sign using more than four colors and non-earth tones.",{"_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},6559414,"Commission approves demolition permit for 501 Hickman Street with fence removal stipulation",150,1522000,1672000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3205915-195b2ebeb883660b58bac3188a9d0ee4&start=1522&end=1672","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3205915-195b2ebeb883660b58bac3188a9d0ee4/thumbnail_1522000.jpg","/articles/6559414/Texas/Commission-approves-demolition-permit-for-501-Hickman-Street-with-fence-removal-stipulation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6559414-1ed2a9717cb5896ae7cdc9667a3d9e85/orig.mp4?Expires=1771137399&Signature=fXOr~t6sSgSYDc3MGC8PSsoSy3Yw2i~p27-RIiW2FXE54GoK3vG--FuKeGXYzSsOyusoYFDy3GKaN5Z0gyZ-TvcEgsKpsZloXO~LtxqoPXZIxO~B30gDVo14y9DOGG0tr3k-Ti6KFnq7kpabXEGwcRR2FxxhxBMp4Ndfi5xrkLCSc5QK1pJZE0nrBQDECSRThc-B7bfVP90Sg-kzEuWJgL3Aamv0REMIpO6qp-ANb9e9Eh1JGDN8JL0CaCHtkeeLV8~evB6QhJHXwl6tQHEKHLH7ay3C9UXgkoosbS-rRUUNG6jMcVVP4bCqAhWCv~mMK1xcJr1D4Q10wjRC~LEfhg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Boerne Historic Landmark Commission voted 4-0 on May 20, 2025, to approve a demolition permit for the single-family residence at 501 Hickman Street, after staff concluded the property did not meet local historic landmark criteria.

Planner Frank Linder told the commission the house is a circa-1968 ranch-style home of about 900 square feet, with a single-car garage and accessory shed. Although the structure is older than 50 years, staff said it lacks architectural, cultural or educational significance under the Unified Development Code standards; staff cited UDC section 2.11(b)(10) regarding demolition of historic structures. Linder also said 51 notices were mailed to property owners within 500 feet and seven written responses in the packet supported demolition; an additional neutral information request arrived by email before the meeting.

No members of the public addressed the commission during the item. Commissioners who inspected the property described it as a typical 1960s house with aluminum windows and brick siding; no substantive historic fabric was identified. The commission approved the demolition permit with the stipulation that the chain-link fence on the property be removed as part of the demolition permit (action item 2025-201).

The motion to approve passed unanimously; staff may proceed with permit processing subject to the stated stipulation.","Boerne Historic Landmark Commission approved a demolition permit for a single‑family home at 501 Hickman Street, concluding staff found no historic significance; approval included removal of an on-site chain-link fence.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6559419,"Historic Landmark Commission approves COA for 101 S.

Frank Linder of the City of Boerne Planning Department presented the application, describing the building as a 1967 commercial-style structure classified as a non-contributing property within the historic district. Linder said the request included enclosing a recessed porch on East San Antonio Avenue, removing two exterior doors to create an interior passage, and installing a new double exterior door at the porch. The second scope item was a new rear alley door for the meat market. “The doors that they're proposing on the side and the rear of the building are appropriate in the district,” Linder said, noting similar door styles appear elsewhere in the district.

Applicant representation addressed practical details. The speaker identifying himself as Mason (applicant) said the existing railing would be partially removed to maintain ADA access and that new doors and railings would be painted black to match existing elements. He also said no new exterior lighting is proposed.

Staff recommended approval under the Unified Development Code and the historic district guidelines, citing flexible application for non-contributing structures (UDC sections 2.11 and 3.11). The commission moved to approve the COA (action item 2025-200). The motion passed 4-0.

Commissioners noted the work is a minor renovation that will not alter the building’s scale, height or mass; staff will review signage separately at a later meeting.","The Boerne Historic Landmark Commission approved a certificate of appropriateness for interior enclosure of a recessed porch at 101 South Main Street and the addition of a rear alley door to serve a proposed meat market, finding the changes consistent with district guidelines for a non-contributing building.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6559424,"Boerne mayor pro tem proclaims May 2025 National Historic Preservation Month",179,153000,332000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3205915-195b2ebeb883660b58bac3188a9d0ee4&start=153&end=332","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3205915-195b2ebeb883660b58bac3188a9d0ee4/thumbnail_153000.jpg","/articles/6559424/Texas/Boerne-mayor-pro-tem-proclaims-May-2025-National-Historic-Preservation-Month","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6559424-7b894ddae8510214ad97ff7a3217fc7d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771137399&Signature=BOJvy5XaKVCSZfjDqkvpMyShrud6z8cRTrRjJeZA8eG26sqmmpJ5~etG9nCmJ6nEJbv0S6nei3yHTsJdD~bLraY0GRs-MFTISZD1pGiDCScWseibvrKXUD6dfrdNbBTFPSFcVlh2uLTC~qXWm4GsDF6zvnqYHDc~rZQlLQLfaN~QZ3idat4xP19NkeejsMMbYaM2IIBXS4XVuzrukD3Zq7x1FixYAe9uGrlBoFJhAAdBtX5MaRaa66UeK2BSJZhIxua1qWQwmiYc2WcZwGFt1Cm5BjAh09B9mROqZGXKgBudbCyc0KZp-lZeUci8Je59PQ6JFGLK7k9V23A2u2jR~A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mayor Pro Tem Ty Wilson, representing Mayor Frank Ritchie, read a proclamation at the Boerne Historic Landmark Commission meeting on May 20, 2025, formally designating May 2025 as National Historic Preservation Month.

The proclamation text notes that historic preservation “is inherently economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable,” encourages community participation in preservation activities and recognizes volunteers assisting the city.

The commission received the proclamation without vote and acknowledged it with thanks and brief remarks about past preservation activities such as walking surveys and scavenger-hunt events.
