City of Fredericksburg issued the following announcement on May 27.
In 2019, the City of Fredericksburg entered into a contract with HHM & Associates along with Winter & Company to create new design guidelines for historic properties. The guidelines are a guide for the community, City Staff, and the Fredericksburg Historic Review Board to use when evaluating the appropriateness of exterior changes to buildings and new construction proposed within the local historic district and local landmarks. A secondary, but equally important purpose of this document, is to convey to the property owner the appropriate methods of improving their historic property. The guidelines are a resource for property owners, builders, architects, and realtors to use in order to: 1) understand the reasons for; 2) the proper methods of; and 3) the overall benefits of historic preservation both to the individual and the community as a whole.
In January, the first public meeting was held to gather public input for historic district guidelines. A draft of the new Historic District Design Guidelines is now available for review and comments. The draft can be downloaded and viewed from http://www.fbgtx.org/999/Design-Guidelines. There will be two public meetings to review the document and provide feedback on the content. The two meetings will be the same, just held at different times to allow more participants. A comment form is available on the website to track comments. Please submit comments to Anna Hudson at ahudson@fbgtx.org by June 30, 2020.
