REGULAR MEETING
1) PZ2021-377: Request for a Certificate of Appropriateness to replace garage doors, install
gutters, replace porch posts, and paint house.
Applicant: Eric Newell
Location: 2445 Louisiana Street
Mrs. Engman presented the staff report. Eric Newell is seeking permission to replace
garage doors, porch posts, install gutters, and paint the house located at 2445 Louisiana
Street. He has requested the exterior body paint be Secret Garden (SW6181), trim to be
Downing Sand (SW2822), shutters to be Naval (SW6244), and front door to be Interesting
Aqua (SW6220).
Historic Landmark Commission
December 13, 2021
Mr. Newell intends to replace two (2) garage doors with two (2) new garage doors from
Overhead Door Company, which will be almond in color with windows. Additionally, he
would like to replace the rotting fiont porch posts. He requests permission for the new
posts to be square -only in profile and wood stained. Lastly, he requests to install gutters.
This home is categorized as a Modern Ranch Style house. Examples of this style house are
in A Field Guide to Afnerican Houses (McAlester et al., pg. 479-480). The existing square
top porch posts with decorative design elements seem appropriate for Ranch Style homes
during the 1970's era. Changing the posts to an all square profile does not seem
appropriate for homes of this era.
The property is not listed in the SPARE Beaumont Survey.
Slides of the subject property were shown.
Staff recommended denial of the request to replace the porch posts. Staff recommended
approval of the request to paint house, install gutters and replace garage doors with the
following conditions:
1. The gutters shall be installed to blend in with and be the same color as the trim.
The applicant was present. Eric Newell, 2445 Louisiana Street, addressed the Commission. He
stated that the home had suffered flood damage after Tropical Storm Imelda and that he is just
trying to make repairs and get the home looking good again. He stated that supply chain issues
due to the pandemic have made garage doors hard to come by so he had just used the cheapest
one he could find to close the garage. He then explained his color choices. Mr. Newell stated
that the posts are rotting and that he would like to replace them. He added that the inside also
needs repairs so he is trying to stay within a budget. Mr. Newell then said that he does not want
perfectly square posts and would like some decorative elements to them. He added that if the
rest of the request could be approved, that he could return to the Commission at a later time with
different posts if needed. Finally, he added that his contractor was not familiar with the historic
district regulations so they had to stop their progress to await this decision and would like to
resume work as soon as possible.
Commissioner Makin asked about the posts and Mr. Newell stated that he has been looking at
different options and would like stained square posts with framing, but does not want to replace
them with the exact same thing that is currently there. He added that he could add decoration if
requested.
Commissioner Templeton asked about the garage doors and Mr. Newell stated that the new
doors will have windows and again explained that the current door with no windows was due to
it being the only type available at the time. He added that they will be painted the same color as
the trim.
Commissioner Makin asked if they could approve the request excluding the posts and Vice -
Chairman LaBiche stated that they could approve the rest of the request and let staff approve
2
Historic Landmark Commission
December 13, 2021
appropriate posts. He added that he did not want to see posts that were simply square with no
decoration.
Commissioner Makin moved to approve the request for a Certificate of Appropriateness to
replace garage doors, install gutters, replace porch posts, and paint house, for the property at
2445 Louisiana Street, as requested in file PZ2021-377 with the following conditions:
1. The gutters shall be installed to blend in with and be the same color as the trim.
2. Posts can be replaced with staff approval.

demolish and rebuild the home. She added that they are willing to meet the proposed conditions
and any other requirements needed.
Commissioner Makin asked for more explanation of the GLO program and Ms. Foreman
explained the process and added that an inspection resulted in the decision that demolishing and
rebuilding was needed.
Commissioner Berube asked if this was a single family residence and Ms. Foreman stated that
this was correct and that the number of bedrooms is based on the number of dependents in the
home.
Commissioner Makin moved to approve the request for a Certificate of Demolition to demolish a
house and a Certificate of Appropriateness for a new construction, for the property at 2385
Angelina Street, as requested in file PZ2021-382 with to the following conditions:

Historic Landmark Commission
December 13, 2021
This home is categorized as a Minimal Traditional style house. A variety of materials such as
stone, brick, wood siding, etc. appear to be used for a Minimal Traditional style home
(McAlester et al., pg. 461). Therefore, the removal of the shakes to be replaced with wood
siding seems appropriate for a home of this era.
The house is not listed in the SPARE survey.
Slides of the subject property and color swatches were shown.
Staff recommended approval of the request.
The applicant was not present.
Commissioner Templeton moved to approve the request for a Certificate of Appropriateness to
remove shakes and paint a house, for the property at 2470 Ashley Avenue, as requested in file
PZ2021-409. Commissioner Makin seconded the motion. The motion to approve the request
carried 10:0.

The fence will be six (6) feet in height and eight (8) inches in width. Additionally, the fence will
be made of concrete blocks, covered with stucco and painted white with decorative columns.
Sec. 28.03.018 (g)(3)(D) Historic -Cultural Landmark Preservation Overlay District states a fence
in a front or corner side yard must be constructed of wrought iron, wood or brick. Concrete
block fences are not permitted.
The property is in the 1977 SPARE Beaumont Survey. SPARE states that the house was built c.
1905. The property was listed as a fine example of middle class housing built in Beaumont after
the first Spindletop boom.
Slides of the subject property and an example of the proposed fence were shown.
Staff recommended denial of the request.

The applicant was present. Terry Highsmith, 778 N 3`d Street, addressed the Commission. He
stated that he likes the look of stucco more than wood fences. He stated that wood fences fall
down, mold and look bad. He added that he does not like wrought iron or brick fences as well
5
Historic Landmark Commission
December 13, 2021
and that they are also too expensive. Finally, he added that the stucco fence would improve the
look of the property.
Vice -Chairman LaBiche asked if Mr. Highsmith if he is renovating the home and he confirmed
this to be the case. He added that it is a big project and needs much renovation. He stated that
the man who previously owned the home had used it for storage. Mr. Highsmith stated that the
home has not been kept up and that he is trying to restore it as closely to the original state as
possible. Finally, he thanked the Commission and hoped for approval for the fence.
Vice -Chairman LaBiche asked how long Mr. Highsmith had owned the home and if he planned
to live in the home. Mr. Highsmith stated that he has owned it for about five (5) years and that
he does not plan to live in it, but that he will use it as an extension of his home which is next
door.
Commissioner Berube asked if he would be doing the fence work himself or if he had a
contractor. Mr. Highsmith answered that he has a contractor who was also present at the
meeting. He added that his contractor was a mason with over sixty (60) years of experience.
Donald Barron, 1485 Dogwood, Vidor, TX, addressed the Commission. He explained his
construction plans and how the fence would be supported by digging holes underneath and
installing supporting rods. He added that the fence would be stucco on blocks and then finished.
Commissioner Berube stated that he was concerned about the structural soundness of the fence
and Vice -Chairman LaBiche stated that if approved it would go through an inspection process to
ensure the structural soundness.
Commissioner Berube stated that he did not have a problem with the proposed fence if it
resembles the provided example. Commissioner Makin stated that the proposed fence is not one
of the approved fence types in the district. Commissioner Templeton stated that it was a very
nice fence, but that it did not seem appropriate for the style of the house.
Mrs. Engman read the City ordinance again and stated that the request to use stucco rather than
just concrete blocks prompted staff to send the request to the Commission. She reviewed the
pictures again and passed around a site plan.
Commissioner Makin stated that the fence would be seen from the street.
Commissioner Templeton asked the applicant if his goal for the fence was privacy. Mr.
Highsmith stated that this was his goal and that the other fence styles do not offer privacy. He
added that this fence would be more substantial and long lasting than wood. He also stated that
currently as the yard is open, people bring their dogs into the yard or treat it like a park.
Vice -Chairman LaBiche stated that brick posts with stucco in between might be more
appropriate. Commissioner Crawford agreed and stated that she had mixed emotions on the
request and does agree that the stucco would look better than rotting wood fences that can be
seen through.
