The proposed project is designed to mitigate the impact of the alterations on the primary structure, while providing additional usable space for the business. The proposed deck design does not obscure any character defining features of the structure, in compliance with Design Guideline 5.6. The proposed outdoor dining area is simple in design and the furniture will comply with the Design Guidelines, as outlined in Chapter 8.

The proposed sunshades respect the historic roof form of the structure and allow the architectural details to remain visible and intact. The proposed design is compatible with the structure, but utilizes different materials to differentiate the new construction. Other types of awnings or shade structures would adversely impact the structure, and would obscure significant architectural features of the structure.

WANG ARCHITECTS LLC Architecture + Urban Design March 27, 2015 Historical and Architectural Review Commission City of Georgetown RE: Application to HARC, Sweet Lemon Kitchen Dear Members of the Historical and Architectural Review Commission: On behalf of my clients, Rachel and Kevin Cummins, I am pleased to submit here our application for review of the Sweet Lemon Kitchen, located at 812 South Church Street. Kevin and Rachel purchased this property in summer 2013. After receiving approval from HARC in late 2013, the Sweet Lemon Inn officially opened in March 2014, and Rachel started the Sweet Lemon catering company in August. The proposed scope of work here is the next and final phase of work, the Sweet Lemon Kitchen. The Sweet Lemon Kitchen will be a café that is friendly and welcoming to guests, sourcing locally-grown and organic ingredients. The Sweet Lemon Kitchen will serve the community of Georgetown for years to come. This proposed design seeks to advance many of the urbanistic and local goals found in our Design Guidelines. Through our many discussions with City Planning, we have adhered to two main tenets of the Design Guidelines, also shared by the Secretary of the Interior s Standards for Rehabilitation for Historic Buildings: First, that the design be compatible, yet differentiated, from the existing building; secondly, that the renovation be reversible and done in a way that, if removed, the integrity of the historic building would be unimpaired. We have also met informally with the Texas Historical Commission to ensure that we adhere to these guidelines. The building at 812 S. Church currently lies outside the boundary of the Williamson County Courthouse Historic District, but we anticipate it will be recommended for Contributing status in the future. There are several challenges and opportunities within the given building/site, leading us to the design proposal submitted here. Our design features a new seating area that flanks the South and West of the existing building. This seating area will be defined by a deck/terrace and overhead pergola structure. Although composite materials are much more economical, we are electing to use natural materials commonly found throughout Texas: The pergola will be made predominantly from cedar, and structural members will be made from galvanized steel to weather gracefully over time. Attached here are the following drawings for your review and consideration: 1) A Site Map; 2) Rendered Conceptual Plan; 3) Proposed Plan with Annotation; 4-6) Rendered Elevations; 7-9) Perspectives from 3D Model; and 10) Existing Photos for Reference. There are several reasons additional outdoor seating is critical for the future success of the Sweet Lemon, and here are some specific issues the proposed design will address: Building Size: At the ground floor, the existing building is less than 1,300SF. Two existing restrooms will be relocated to make more room for guest seating at the interior, but this still leaves us only approximately 765 square feet for guest seating - shy of 60% of the total building footprint. Page 18 of 34

Fortunately for us, Texas is one of the few places in the country where outdoor seating can be enjoyed for much of the year, under the right conditions. The proposed design will add approximately 1,200SF of outdoor seating. (In plan, the 'jog' at the Southeast portion of the seating area and the angle at the West follow the existing property line.) Orientation and Solar Shading: Whereas most downtown buildings have only one 'front', the Sweet Lemon building is fortunate enough to have three 'fronts': 1) a front on Church Street, 2) a 'side front' on 9th Street across Founder's Park, and 3) a 'back front' to the West at Main Street, where the structure is visible across the existing parking lot. The proposed design addresses all three of these 'fronts'. We conducted numerous sun studies through different times of the day and year, and we calibrated a new pergola structure overhead to provide maximum sun shading for guests during the sweltering summer months. Urbanistic Considerations: For those of us who know Georgetown, Church Street is one of the main arteries into the downtown core, when headed West on University Avenue by car or by foot. This sets up Founder's Park as a potential visual 'gateway' into the city center - even when we consider a potential future parking lot across Founder's Park to the South, as has been mentioned by city staff. The proposal includes a new door that will open onto the South terrace, allowing food to be served as well as providing ADA access for guests. We have had numerous discussions with the City about how the Sweet Lemon might serve as a 'backdrop' to Founder's Park at the South façade. Ideas have included providing a screen that hangs from the upper shading structure for projecting movies on the park, and partnering with the Palace Theatre to use the terrace for performance, among other shared uses. Our proposal 'cleans up' the existing façade South facing the park by relocating and concealing A/C units and unsightly HVAC equipment; this will make Founder's Park a much more enjoyable place. At the West (a.k.a. the 'back front'), the existing freestanding structure will be replaced with a new freestanding pergola that matches the proposed at the South. This new pergola will provide shading for seating, and the space below can also house live musical performance. We look forward to presenting these concepts to you at our upcoming meeting on April 23 in more detail. We will have additional information as well as material samples at this meeting. If you have any questions or need any supplemental information in advance, please feel free to contact me at 512.677.9610. Thank you in advance for your time, and I look forward to seeing you in April. Yours truly, Gary Wang, AIA Principal Wang Architects LLC Page 19 of 34
