Let's Talk Process Webinar
Join the City of Burlington's Planning Department as they explain all the steps to complete a Certificate of Appropriateness application for the Historic Districts.
A
Okay
good
evening,
everyone
and
thank
you
for
joining
the
let's
talk
series.
My
name
is
Conrad
almedo,
the
planning
manager
for
the
City
of
Burlington,
the
let's
talk
series
is
brought
to
you
by
the
city
of
Burlington's
planning
department
in
Partnership
and
collaboration
with
a
lot
of
our
local
historic
preservation,
Partners,
including
the
The
Walker
collaborative
the
city
of
Burlington's,
historic
preservation,
commission
preservation,
Burlington
preservation,
North
Carolina
and,
of
course,
the
North
Carolina
State
historic
preservation
office
on
the
let's
talk
series
will
involve.
A
It
will
develop
three
different
webinars
where
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
process
standards
and
a
one-year
touch
base
back
on
the
recently
adopted
historic
design
standards.
There
also
will
be
a
one,
an
in-person
walking
tour
of
downtown
Burlington
in
May
National
Historic
preservation
month
as
a
celebration
and
we're
looking
to
have
that
be
a
remote
opportunity
as
well
so
stay
tuned.
For
that
you
can,
you
can
sign
up
for
these
events
on
our
City's
website.
A
If
you
go
to
Burlington
nc.gov
and
navigate
to
planning,
we
have
a
webpage,
there
called
online
learning
and
there
you
can
register
for
all
these
events
that
are
going
to
be
taken
throughout
the
rest
of
the
year
again.
This
is
a
webinar,
that's
being
recorded
and
will
be
available
for
later
viewing
so
without
further
Ado
I'd
like
to
introduce
Jamie
Lawson,
the
city
of
Burlington's
planning
director
to
give
the
first
of
our
let's
talk
series
on
process.
B
B
I
am
okay,
Conrad
has
indicated
if
you've
got
questions
feel
free
to
raise
your
hand
he's
going
to
be
navigating
in
the
background
and
we'll
try
to
either
answer
your
questions
through
the
chat
or
we
can
take
questions
as
we
go.
So
if
you've
got
a
question
either
raise
your
hand
or
put
it
in
the
chat
and
we'll
try
to
get
to.
B
B
B
B
Now
we
also
have
what's
called
National
register
properties
and
I
just
wanted
to
bring
this
up,
and-
and
this
has
the
list
of
those
districts
as
well.
These
districts
are
not
governed
by
our
local
historic
district.
We
don't
review
properties
within
these
areas,
consistent
with
the
the
local,
the
or
of
the
overlay
or
the
design
standards,
but
whether
there
are
areas
that
are
recognized
for
National
importance.
B
So,
in
terms
of
the
design
standards,
this
is
a
slide
of
the
current
design
standards.
The
city
was
awarded
a
grant
from
the
state
historic
preservation
office,
and
we
completed
an
update
to
the
historic
district
design
standards
in
August
of
last
year,
and
we
had
a
steering
committee
and
stakeholders
that
helped
to
review
this
process.
Ultimately,
it
was
adopted
by
city
council
and
again
it
applies
to
those
two
local
historic
districts,
as
well
as
the
landmarks
and
I'm
going
to
go
through
in
terms
of
the
applications
and
the
types
of
work.
B
B
Other
types
of
building
features
are
regulated
in
some
ways
with
with
application
processes,
as
well
as
some
landscaping
and
other
types
of
site
features.
So
a
property
owner
or
an
applicant
would
search
through
this
Matrix
to
first
kind
of
identify.
You
know
where
does
their
type
of
work
fit,
and
certainly
staff
is
available
with
at
any
point,
from
an
advisory
perspective
to
help
with
with
answering
questions
on
undetermining
that.
B
And
and
so
in
addition
to
those
types
of
matrices
you'll
see
throughout
the
design
standards,
language
that
deals
with
preservation,
repair
and
replacement
and
I'm
not
going
to
be
going
through
all
of
the
pages
associated
with
the
design
standards
itself,
but
depending
upon
the
type
of
work
that
you're
going
to
be
doing
or
anticipate
doing,
an
applicant
would
need
to
address
the
different
standards
that
would
apply
and,
if
they're
not
meeting
the
standards
address.
Why
there's
a
deviation.
B
The
the
start
is
up
here
on
the
green
circle
and
where
an
applicant
May
initiate
a
conversation
with
staff,
there's
an
optional
pre-application
conference
meeting
and
then
there's
an
optional
design
committee
design,
Review
Committee
that
can
assist
in
that
process.
That's
that's
something
that
is
in
the
works
in
terms
of
a
not
a
formal
committee.
Yet,
but
that's
part
of
when
we
were
updating
the
design
standards
that
we
that
we
were
hoping
to
apply.
That
would
be
a
useful
tool
for
applicants
and
Property
Owners
to
get
informal,
non-binding
resources.
B
Well,
actually,
in
some
cases
there
would
be
types
of
work
that
may
not
be
regulated
so
that
fall
would
fall
under
normal
maintenance,
where
there's
no
COA
required
and
then
there's
the
two
other
categories
where
you're,
following
the
minor
work
and
following
this
Matrix,
compared
to
the
major
work
where
you're
following
this
Matrix.
So
let's
see
I
go
to
the
next
slide.
B
B
Okay
and
then
the
genre
had
helped
me
with
these
animations,
so
the
the
second
line
of
of
types
of
work
is
a
minor
modification,
so
just
kind
of
working
through
this,
this
Matrix
here
we
would
Matrix,
you
would
submit
an
application,
you
can.
You
can
submit
an
application,
two
different
ways
and
I'll
talk
about
that.
I'll
have
a
slide
that
shows
that,
but
you
can
submit
an
application
through
our
our
City's
website,
which
is
called
the
smartgov
portal.
Those
applications
can
come
in
fairly
quickly
through
the
through
the
system.
B
We
also
still
accept
hard
copies,
because
that's
in
some
cases
what
people
are
comfortable
and
familiar
with
so
either
way
you
would
submit
an
application.
Staff
would
technically
have
a
number
of
days
to
review
it
for
completeness
and
then,
if
it's
complete
for
the
minor
coas,
those
are
reviewed
by
staff
and
reviewed
administratively
and
then,
if
they
are
incomplete,
we
would
ask
the
applicant
to
provide
more
information.
B
We
are
reviewing
under
a
minor
work.
There
were
some
changes
in
terms
of
the
Landscaping
during
the
update
to
the
design
standards
as
well.
So
if
there's
trees
that
are
dead
or
dying,
we
do
ask
that
our
city
arborists
go
out
to
review
and
confirm
that
and
those
would
be
treated
as
as
just
a
general
maintenance
items
and
not
minor
work.
B
So,
just
some
some
useful
tips
in
terms
of
helpful
for
staff,
just
in
ideally
staff,
is
reviewing
the
applications
that
come
in,
so
it
and
and
oftentimes.
You
know
we're
we're
looking
at
multiple
things
and
it's
helpful
to
for
us
to
see
a
complete
picture
when,
when
it's,
when
it's
submitted,
whether
it's
online
or
or
in
hard
copy,
it
is
important
for
us
to
get
the
complete
picture
and
the
story
of
what
you're
looking
to
do
with
your
property.
B
Take
the
time
to
draw
up
the
plans
use
to
the
best
of
your
ability
bring
in
the
scale,
show
us
the
dimensions.
How
far
things
are
from
setbacks,
provide
us
with
the
specs
or
the
manufacturer's
information
in
terms
of
the
different
materials
and
the
details
that
you're
looking
to
get
approval
for,
provide
us
with
photos,
photos
of
what
your,
what
Your
existing
conditions
are,
and
also,
if
you've
got
examples
of
properties,
either
in
the
district
or
elsewhere
that
you're
looking
to
emulate
the
same
features.
B
Let's
see,
we
also
have
the
major
work
classification,
so
this
is
a
little
bit
different
for
the
items
that
fall
under
that
category,
that
Define
major
work
once
we
receive
the
application
again,
whether
it
be
through
smartgov
or
whether
it
be
through
a
hard
copy
once
the
application
is
complete,
it
would
then
be
placed
on
the
historic
preservation
commission's
agenda
for
them
to
review
it.
Staff
will
then
prepare
a
staff
report
that
will
go
along
with
the
agenda
item.
B
B
If
the
application
is
denied,
they
can
either
refile
an
application
or
appeal
the
hbc's
decision
to
the
board
of
adjustment,
and
then
the
appeal
of
that
decision
would
go
to
Superior
Court
again
similar
to
the
minor
coas
once
the
application
is
approved
and
staff
issues
the
certificate
and
also
completes
the
yellow
card
and
and
then
the
applicants
can
apply
for
building
permits,
I'll
have
a
slide
at
the
end
that
will
summarize
or
be
helpful
in
terms
of
what
things
may
require
additional.
What
types
of
work
may
require
some
additional
permits.
B
B
Yeah,
so
it
would
not
be
made
from
the
current
HPC
members,
because
that
would
create
sort
of
a
conflict
if
they
were
meeting
and
speaking
and
talking
to
applicants
about
applications
that
would
potentially
come
to
them
going
forward.
So
this
would
be
kind
of
an
advisory
committee
set
aside
from
either
formal
former
HPC
members
or
members
of
the
community
people
who
have
an
interest
in
in
architecture
in
building
materials
and
historic
preservation
that
that
would
be
the
intent.
A
B
Yeah,
that's
a
good
question,
so
the
the
100
feet
is
silent
to
the
district
boundaries
and
so
we're
just
basically
taking
a
snapshot
of
the
parcel.
Our
GIS
department
will
do
a
100
foot
radius
around
that
property
and
any
property
address
that
falls
within
that
boundary.
So
it
does
go
across
streets
and
outside
of
the
district
in
some
cases
depends
on
where
your
property
is
located.
B
Obviously,
but
yeah
we
don't
we
we
would,
wherever
whatever
properties
fall
within
that
and
that
boundary
they
would
be
sent
out
letters
advising
them
that
there's
going
to
be
a
a
matter.
That's
going
to
the
historic
preservation
commission
with
the
date
and
the
time,
any
other
questions
at
this
point.
A
B
Trying
to
get
back
to
the
screen
here
we
go
so
again.
The
major
works
are
the
applications
that
require
approval
from
the
historic
preservation
commission,
with
a
full
presentation
to
that
commission,
it's
not
something
that
staff
can
review
administratively
and
there's
you
know.
Major
types
of
work
would
be
considered
things
like
new
construction,
brand,
new
homes
or
brand
new
buildings
within
the
historic
district,
major
exterior
alterations
or
repairs
additions
would
go
to
additions
in
terms
of
a
building
Edition
or
a
deck
brand.
B
B
I
believe
it's
up
to
365
days
for
the
HBC
to
to
render
that
and
the
idea
is
if,
if
there's
a
structure,
that's
in
set
for
for
demolition
or
a
property
owner
wants
to
do
that,
then
then
there
might
be
vested
interest
from
the
community
to
engage
and
help
to
to
protect
that
property.
We
also
have
demolition
by
neglect
in
our
ordinance
as
well,
but
we
would
want
to
capture
if
there
is
a
demolition
that
is
approved.
B
So
again,
for
new
construction:
we
don't
we
don't
get
these
often
because
the
historic
district
is
fairly
built
out.
Districts
are
fairly
fairly
built
out,
but
for
new
construction
again,
the
the
devil
is
in
the
details
right,
so
we
we
would
want
to
see
a
complete
application
that
shows
a
site
plan
with
all
of
the
different
dimensional
requirements.
Show
us
where
your
your
building
is
going
to
be
proposed.
B
Also
very
important
are
architectural
elevations
that
can
help
to
identify
how
the
structure
is
compatible
and
consistent
with
the
historic
district
design
standards
and
and
the
district
itself
and
similar
to
a
minor
COA.
It's
always
very
helpful
to
have
details
associated
with
the
different
types
of
features
and
materials
that
you're
going
to
be
considering
and
then
photos
as
well.
B
B
This
is
just
an
example
of
what
one
might
find
when
they're
going
through
the
historic
district.
It's
a
historic
district
standards
itself
again
going
back
to
what
I
was
talking
about
earlier.
The
standards
are
broken
into
different
categories
for
preservation,
repair
and
replacement
in
most
categories.
So,
depending
upon
what
somebody's
doing,
we
would
hope
that
they
would
be
reviewing
the
standards
for
consistency
in
and
I'll.
Just
also
say
that
staff
does
review
the
standards
when
the
applications
come
into
specifically
for
the
prop
the
projects
that
go
in
front
of
the
historic
preservation.
B
B
So
the
next
two
couple
slides
just
give
it
a
summary
and
an
idea
if
one
was
to
open
up
the
design
standards,
either
on
the
computer
or
or
in
a
hard
copy.
This
is
the
breakdown
and
the
table
of
contents
of
how
the
design
standards
is
is
formulated.
You've
got
an
introduction
section:
the
design
review
process,
which
goes
through
a
lot
of
what
I'm
speaking
about
today
and
more
information,
some
context
of
the
historic
districts
and
the
landmark
properties.
B
There's
some
really
cool
anatomic
diagrams
that
that
help
to
visually
depict
how
buildings
are
defined
and
different
types
of
architectural
features.
So
it's
it's
an
educational
resource
for
most
and
then
section
D
talks
about
the
design
standards
themselves
and
the
different
breakdowns
between
maintenance
and
alteration,
starting
on
page
D7
and
then
all
of
the
different
walls
and
and
Foundations
reefs
chimneys
and
so
on.
All
fall
under
this
maintenance
and
alterations
and
then
section
two
under
the
design
standards.
B
We've
got
also
a
section
on
the
Demolition
and
demolition
by
neglect
disaster
preparedness,
some
information
about
Signs
Now.
We
we
also
have
sign
standards
under
our
unified
development,
ordinance
as
well
murals
and
some
information
that
was
provided
at
the
end
in
terms
of
our
recommended
plant
list
and
I'll.
I'll
show
that
as
well
as
appendix
2
has
a
table
that
helps
to
categorize
what
some
types
of
work
may
require
additional
permits
and
then
there's
a
link
to
other
applications
and
documents.
B
Just
summarize,
you
would
go
to
our
city
web
page
and
then
go
to
the
planning
website
where
there
would
be
a
link
to
the
smartgov
portal,
this
Mark
through
this
Markov
portal,
you
can
apply
for
any
permits
that
the
city
has
whether
it
be
through.
You
know
our
department
that
handles
the
coas
to
to
sign
permits
to
different
types
of
building
permits
and
and
Commercial
permits
or
temporary
permits.
You
name
it
they're
through
the
smart
deck
portal.
B
Once
you
establish
an
account,
if
you
don't
already
have
one,
you
would
need
to
establish
account.
Have
the
email
verified
through
your
through
your
email
once
it's
verified,
then
you
can
go
back
in
and
create
a
permit
itself
that
once
it's
complete,
then
staff
kind
of
gets
a
little
Ding
and
we
can
go
ahead
and
start
start
to
review
the
the
permits.
B
So,
like
I
said
we
we
take
requests
in
both
through
the
paper
copies
and
through
our
online
portal,
and
I
could
also
just
maybe
say
that
through
our
online
system,
staff
and
others
can
view
activities
that
go
on
on
properties
so
available
to
the
public
as
well
as
staff.
You
can
identify
particular
Parcels
click
on
them
and
see
whether
or
not
there's
been
any
kind
of
approval,
different
types
of
applications.
B
So
once
you
actually
get
your
your
account
verified
and
you
go
back
in
and
apply
for
a
permit,
you
for
the
coas,
you
would
select
the
first
category
to
be
planning
and
zoning
department,
and
these
are
there
might
even
be
more
than
on
this
list
at
this
point.
But
these
are
the
different
types
of
permits
that
the
planning
department
has
under
our
umbrella
and
certificates
of
appropriateness
fall
there
as
well.
B
I
alluded
to
earlier
what
staff
does
when
we
receive
the
applications
for
major
coas
and
the
ones
that
actually
go
to
the
historic
preservation
commission.
This
is
an
example
or
a
couple
examples
of
our
staff
reports
and
kind
of
an
overview
of
the
application
itself
and
the
findings
of
facts
that
are
applicable
to
the
project.
B
Again,
these
are
some
recent
applications
that
were
approved
that
the
applicant
provided
us
with
before
and
after
renderings
to
help
show
what
they
were
looking
to
do
and
a
site
map
for
properties
that
are
located
in
Glencoe
Mill,
there's
also
a
above
and
beyond
the
design
standards.
There's
the
requirement
to
adhere
to
the
Declarations
and
Covenants
associated
with
the
properties
up
there.
So
the
preservation,
North
Carolina,
must
review
and
approve
applications
and
improvements
and
modifications
to
the
properties
in
Glencoe.
B
I
mentioned
earlier
how
the
HPC
would
review
applications
when
they
come
in
for
a
major
COA
through
a
quasi-judicial
role.
The
HPC,
the
historic
preservation
commission,
just
in
kind
of
brief
summary,
has
a
dual
role:
they
serve
as
an
advisory
role
to
the
city,
where
there's
different
projects
that
they
can
undertake.
Undertake
inventories
recommend
designations
to
local
landmarks,
repair
ordinances
so
on
in
those
functions
they
serve
as
an
advisory
role
and
then,
when
the
applications
come
into
them,
they
are
a
more
foreign.
B
They
have
a
more
formal
role
rather
than
providing
a
recommendation,
there's
actually
a
review
of
the
application,
there's
statutes
and
requirements
that
they
need
to
follow.
They
can't
have
communication
with
applicants
outside
of
the
The
Forum
and
then
the
this
slide
just
kind
of
summarizes.
The
process
that's
laid
out
by
State
Statute
that
the
the
hearing
follows
so
just
wanted
to
to
highlight
that,
for
you
all,
we
also
have
new
like
to
our
design
standards
too.
B
Our
emergency
protocols,
where
there
may
be
situations
where
there's
fires
or
flooding
or
tornadoes
other
natural
disasters,
where
staff
and
the
chair
of
the
HPC
in
consultation
with
our
building
codes
officials,
have
the
authority
to
waive
standards.
So
we
we
hope
that
those
things
don't
occur,
but
in
and
we
we
can't
predict
the
big
the.
B
And
then
I
also
mentioned
earlier
that
the
design
standards
have
some
useful
tools,
not
just
you
know,
related
to
Historic
preservation,
but
also
just
kind
of
next
steps.
So
we
met
with
the
director
of
inspections
to
help
us
come
up
with
this
table,
to
identify
where
permits
may
be
required
or
may
not
be
required
for
different
types
of
applications
going
going
forward.
So
just
going
through
the
historic
preservation,
commission
or
staff,
may
not
be
your
your
last
step.
B
There
may
be
other
permits
that
may
be
required,
and
and
also
on
the
opposite
side.
If
a
property
is
located
in
a
historic
district
or
is
or
is
a
landmark
site
and
they've
applied
for
permits,
but
the
type
of
work
requires
a
COA
that
permits
won't
get
approved
until
the
COA.
If
it's,
if
it's
warranted,
would
be
approved,
foreign.
B
I
just
wanted
to
to
put
a
plug
in
really
quickly
for
for
the
planning
department
and
some
of
the
other
training
that
that
in
the
past,
we've
had
and
also
going
forward.
So
this
is
the
the
link
to
our
let's
talk
series,
but
in
addition
to
that,
further
down
our
other
training
classes
that
we
have
held
virtually
and
into
public
in
some
cases
that
deal
with
our
pre-application
conference
and
the
permit
process
and
and
our
unified
development
ordinance.
B
B
A
A
Oh
yeah,
so
we're
joined
with
we're
joined
with
folks
from
out
outside
of
North
Carolina.
We've
got
our
collaborative
Consultants,
The,
Walker
collaborative
with
Keith
and
Phil.
Thank
you
all
for
joining
us
I
see
we
have
some
members
of
our
HPC
on
our
chair,
Brian
Pennington
and
members
of
preservation,
Burlington
with
faith
Grant.
So
just
want
to
thank
you
all
for
taking
time
to
meet
with
us.
I
know.
A
B
A
B
B
The
chat,
so
that's
super
super
helpful,
but
the
design
standards
themselves.
If
you
go
to
government
and
then
planning
and
then
historic
preservation
on
the
left
side,
you
could
do
the
drop
down
and
that
will
take
you
to
the
local,
historic
district
overlay
design
standards
and
if
you
click
on
that,
it'll
it'll
take
you
to
the
link
to
the
PDF.
B
So
that's
that's
I,
think
a
First
Resource
that
would
be
great
to
start
to
become
familiar
with,
and
then
we
also
have
the
different
applications
on
here
as
well
and
then
to
get
to
if
you're,
if
you're
going
to
be
applying
online
I'll.
Just
take
you
to
kind
of
where
you
would
get
to
the
portal
again.
A
B
We
have
an
interactive
GIS
map
that
you
would
proceed
to
the
site
and
from
here
you
would
just
need
to
accept
the
terms
and
then
there's
different
ways
to
search
up
here
on
the
upper
left
hand,
side
you
can
search
by
the
address.
If
you
know
the
address
itself,
you
can
search
by
the
six
digit
tax
code.
You
can
search
by
the
G
Pen
number
you
can
search
by
the
property
owner
itself.
If
you
know
the
area
that
you're
looking
for
you
can
zoom
in
and
hopefully
I'll
zoom
in,
and
it
won't.
B
So
this
this
shows
you
the
overall
zoning,
if
you
remember
I
mentioned
earlier,
that
it's
sort
of
like
this
cake
and
the
lower
lowest
level
is
the
parcels
or
the
actual
property
itself,
and
then
we've
got
the
the
zoning
layer.
So
the
medium
density
residential
which
is
in
yellow,
is
primarily
what
you'll
find
in
the
historic
district
in
order
to
turn
on,
and
hopefully
this
will
work
and
I
won't
become
embarrassed.
B
But
in
order
to
turn
on
the
historic
district
overlay,
you
would
go
to
the
to
the
sidebar
here
under
the
layers,
click
on
the
zoning
and
then
click
on
the
historic
district
itself,
so
the
property
that
the
the
hatch
area
here
is
is
is
also
within
the
historic
district.
So
I
think.
The
area
that
you're
talking
about
you
know
is
right
is
right
in
here:
I
hope
that
answered
your
question.
So
the
area
that's
not
hatched
is
outside
of
the
historic
districts
in
the
area.
That's
hatched
is
in.
A
I
think
this
is
a
great
example
of
how
you
can
cross
the
street
and
be
outside
of
the
district
or
in
the
district.
So
it
looks
like
Tommy's
Mini
Mart
is
the
North
east
corner
of
that
intersection,
and
it
looks
like
it's
just
that
piece
of
neighborhood
business
with
that
overlay.
So
to
answer
the
question:
it's
not
it's
not
removed
from
the
district,
it's
actually
in
the
in
the
local,
in
the
historic
district.
B
Those
will
also
be
hatched
as
well,
so
you
could
see
here
this
is
that
picket
male
Hosiery
site
that
has
zoning
designation
of
GB
and
hi,
but
it
also
has
that
hatch
that
also
identifies
that
they
are
in
the
local,
historic
district
overlay
and
would
be
subject
to
the
design
standards
as
well.
So
there's
a
a
variety
of
other
properties
that
fall
under
that
category
too.
A
I'm
not
I'm,
not
seeing
I'm,
seeing
some
thumbs
UPS
it's
thumbs
up
and
good.
Let's
see
any
other
questions
on
on
the
chat
or
anything.
So
it
looks
like
everyone
that's
been
listening
is:
is
able
to
feel
comfortable
with
the
process
of
getting
a
certificate
of
appropriateness,
either
a
minor
work
or
a
major
work,
and
also
being
able
to
determine
that
you,
don't
it's
just
normal
maintenance
and
think
if
they
have
any
questions.
They'll
know
they
know
that
they
can
always
contact
the
city's
planning
department
and
get
their
questions
confirmed
or
answered.
B
Yep
absolutely
so
I
want
to
just
thank
everyone
for
for
participating
in
in
this
training
seminar
and
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
us.
If,
if
you
have
any
questions,
if
you've
got
specific
areas
that
you
that
you
like
about
the
new
design
standards
or
areas
that
you
want
us
to
focus
in
on
and
make
modifications,
this
is
a
document
that
is,
you
know
just
like
any
other
zoning
ordinance
and
rules
and
regulations.
It's
something
that
we
will
be
reviewing
on
an
annual
basis
as
well.
So.
