Talking with the Historic Preservation Office

Telephone Conversation between Shirley Marquardt and Joelle Jordan, City of Round Rock Historic Preservation Office, Planning & Development Services Department, April 8, 2013

Shirley Marquardt called Joelle Jordan to inquire about the Round Rock city’s plans for the Stage Coach Inn.  Joelle Jordan provided the following input:
The RR Historic Preservation Office is located under the RR Planning and Development Services Department.  Historic Preservation Issues are reviewed by the RR Historic Preservation Commission.
No firm plans about the RR Stage Coach Inn exist at this time.
At some point, the RR Historic Preservation Office will receive a Request for Certificate of Appropriateness from the City of RR.  This request will probably come from the Department of Transportation since the Stage Coach Inn structure is included in a RR road transportation project.
When the Request for Certificate of Appropriateness is received by the RR Historic Preservation Commission, there will be a public input period of 120 days for the public to provide input on what should happen to the structure.  In all likelihood the Request for Certificate of Appropriateness from the Dept. of Transportation will probably be a “Request to demolish” the structure; however, Joelle was not certain.  The type of request would be up to whatever office submits the request.
When questioned, Joelle said there had been some general discussions at the city about possibly moving the Inn, reconstructing the building, demolishing the building.  As far as Joelle knew no cost figures had been developed for various options about the Inn.
Joelle recommended I call John Dean, the RR Assistant Director of Transportation to inquire about their intended plans for the RR Stage Coach Inn.
