ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET PC DATE: N/A HLC DATE: May 24, 2021 CASE NUMBER: GF-2021-050281 APPLICANT: Historic Landmark Commission (owner-opposed initiation) HISTORIC NAME: N/A WATERSHED: Waller Creek, Lady Bird Lake ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 905 E. 2nd Street ZONING CHANGE: SF-3-NP to SF-3-NP-H COUNCIL DISTRICT: 3 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed zoning change from single family residence (SF-3) – neighborhood plan to single family residence – neighborhood plan – historic landmark (SF-3-H) combining district zoning. QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Architecture and historical associations HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: N/A PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: N/A DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The property is recommended eligible as a City of Austin landmark and individually eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places in the 2016 East Austin Historic Resource Survey. CITY COUNCIL DATE: N/A ORDINANCE READINGS: N/A CASE MANAGER: Kalan Contreras NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS: Austin Independent School District, Austin Lost and Found Pets, Austin Neighborhoods Council, Barrio Unido Neighborhood Assn., Capital Metro, Del Valle Community Coalition, East Austin Conservancy, East Cesar Chavez Neighborhood Association, East Cesar Chavez Neighborhood Plan Contact Team, El Concilio Mexican -American Neighborhoods, Friends of Austin Neighborhoods, Greater East Austin Neighborhood Association , Guadalupe Neighborhood Development Corporation, Homeless Neighborhood Association, Neighborhood Empowerment Foundation, Neighbors United for Progress, Preservation Austin, SELTexas, Sierra Club, Austin Regional Group, Tejano Town, Waterloo Greenway BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: The home at 905 E. 2nd Street was built around 1906. It is a one-story, L-plan, Folk Victorian house with cross-hipped metal roof; horizontal wood siding; a partial-width, shed-roofed porch with chamfered posts and jig-sawn brackets; and 2:2 wood windows with screens. The building retains integrity, with extant original windows and decorative details—uncommon for homes of this age in the area. Historical associations: The 2016 East Austin Historic Resource Survey identifies the property as an integral resource associated with East Austin’s development patterns, demographic shifts, and resident lifeways. The building was consistently occupied by middle- to working-class renters whose occupations and terms of residency were dependent upon the growth of the greater East Austin area. The demographic shift from residents of Anglo and European-American descent to those of Latino descent during the 1950s is indicative of larger demographic trends in East Austin. Thus, the building’s historical associations exemplify general residency patterns in East Austin.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET HLC DATE: May 24, 2021 PC DATE: N/A CASE NUMBER: Pending APPLICANT: Historic Landmark Commission OWNERS: Erika and Patrick Brosnan HISTORIC NAME: Posey House WATERSHED: Boggy Creek ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 1304 Bob Harrison Street ZONING CHANGE: SF-3-NP to SF-3-H-NP COUNCIL DISTRICT: 1 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed zoning change from family residence – neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP) to family residence – historic landmark – neighborhood plan (SF-3-H-NP) combining district zoning. QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Architecture and historical associations HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: N/A PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: N/A DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The house was recommended as a contributing property in a potential historic district by the East Austin Historic Resources Survey (2016). CITY COUNCIL DATE: N/A ORDINANCE READINGS: N/A CASE MANAGER: Cara Bertron NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS: Austin Independent School District, Austin Lost and Found Pets, Austin Neighborhoods Council, Bike Austin, Del Valle Community Coalition, East Austin Conservancy, Friends of AustinNeighborhoods, Homeless Neighborhood Association, Neighborhood Empowerment Foundation, Neighbors United forProgress, Organization of Central East Austin Neighborhoods, Preservation Austin, SELTexas, Sierra Club, Austin Regional Group, Swede Hill Neighborhood Association BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: The Posey House, built around 1924 by Samuel Posey, is significant as a modest example of the National Folk style. The one-story house is clad in board and batten wood siding and capped with a pyramidal roof with two pipe chimneys and exposed rafter tails. Features include non-original vinyl-sash windows and a non-original flush wood door, which are respectively proposed to be replaced with 2-over-2 double-hung clad-wood windows and a wood door that are in keeping with likely original elements. A partial-width entry porch has a shed roof covered in corrugated metal and supported by square columns. Historical Associations: The Posey House is significant for its association with Samuel Posey and his descendants, working-class African Americans who purchased and maintained a home for decades at a time when few financial, policy, and legal resources were available to Black families. Two generations of the Posey family lived in the house for more than 45 years, until at least 1969. Appraisal district records show that the Poseys sold the house in 1998, after 75 years of ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A PHONE: 512-974-1446 ACTION: N/A ownership. This longstanding association represents an example of a definable group of people in early- to mid-20th century Austin.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MAY 24, 2021 HR-2021-044151 1304 BOB HARRISON STREET POSEY HOUSE A.2 – 1 PROPOSAL Partially demolish a ca. 1924 house; construct a rear addition. The house was recommended as a contributing resource to a potential historic district by the East Austin Historic Resource Survey (2016). The Historic Landmark Commission initiated historic zoning on April 26, 2021 and will consider recommending historic zoning on May 24, 2021. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed project involves ten parts: with matching materials and profiles. 1) Repair of the front porch. If elements must be replaced due to damage or deterioration, they will be replaced in-kind, 2) Replacement of all vinyl-sash windows with 2-over-2 double-hung clad-wood windows in existing window openings. 3) Replacement of the existing door with a period-appropriate wood door. 4) Replacement of the asphalt shingle roof with a metal roof. 5) Addition of skylights on secondary (east and west) roof slopes. 6) Repair existing wood siding, trim, and rafter tails. 7) Demolition of side and rear additions. 8) Demolition of a rear deck. 9) Construction of a rear addition with a footprint of 600 square feet. The addition consists of 2-story and 1-story portions clad in vertical metal siding and capped by flat roofs. Windows are casement and fixed aluminum-sash. It is set back behind the historic portion of the existing building, nearly 30’ from the front wall. 10) Construction of a concrete deck behind the addition. ARCHITECTURE One-story house clad in board and batten wood siding and capped with a pyramidal roof with exposed rafter tails. Features include vinyl-sash windows, a flush wood replacement door, and two pipe chimneys. A partial-width entry porch has a shed roof covered in corrugated metal and supported by square columns. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW Repair and Alterations The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects on historic landmarks. The following standards would apply to the proposed project if the property were designated as a landmark: General Standards 1.1 Do not remove intact historic material from the exterior of a building. 1.2 Always attempt repair first. Replacement should only be undertaken when absolutely necessary, and for the smallest area possible. 1.3 When historic material must be replaced due to damage or deterioration, replacement material should look the same, perform reliably within the existing construction, and, in …
B.2 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MAY 24, 2021 C14H-1986-0015, C14H-2004-0008 GRANDBERRY BUILDING AND MITCHELL-ROBERTSON BUILDING CONGRESS AVENUE HISTORIC DISTRICT 907, 909, AND 911 CONGRESS AVENUE PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Review of a plan to deconstruct, store, and re-erect historic building façades. Catalog and store, then re-erect the historic building façades as part of a redevelopment project at a later date. In conjunction with proposed additions, the project received preliminary approval from the Historic Landmark Commission on January 26, 2015 and June 25, 2018, pending development of more detailed plans for treatment of the façades. On March 24, 2021, the Building Standards Commission (BSC) issued an order requiring that conditions be remedied within 90 days or imposing fines on the property owner. The BSC orders are uploaded as backup to this meeting for reference. In discussion at the April 24, 2021 meeting, Commissioners suggested that the applicant determine if scaffolding erected for purposes of documenting and dismantling the façades would suffice for compliance with the BSC orders. The orders do not mention stabilization or bracing as options, and Code Department staff have confirmed that scaffolding would be insufficient to meet the requirements. Instead, the orders require repairs to fully remedy the violations, which include cracks and openings in exterior walls, roof and drainage issues, and missing windows, among other concerns. Per the applicant, stabilization and repair of the buildings in place is not technically feasible due to the extent of deterioration, including mortar loss, shear failures and racking, and the inability to adequately shore the façades following demolition of masonry party walls that provide lateral support. The wall abutting the adjacent historic landmark building, in particular, requires demolition to allow that property owner to perform needed repairs. The proposed scope of work entails developing a detailed plan for deconstruction and reconstruction of the historic façades, including as an initial phase: review of existing documentation, visual and non-destructive analysis of building materials and assemblies, structural evaluation, and development of a finalized scope of work and sequence of implementation. Laser scanning has been performed, and analysis of the resulting point cloud is underway. Deconstruction will be done by hand and treated much like an archeological investigation, with specific conditions and hidden elements documented as work progresses. This information will inform preparation of reconstruction drawings and specifications. The applicant proposes to place a restrictive covenant on the property …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MAY 24, 2021 C14H-1981-0018 KENNEY HOUSE 611 W. 22ND STREET B.10 - 1 PROPOSAL Install signs for a new coffee house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Install a sign containing the company logo and the words “Pick Up” crafted from aluminum channel letters on the fascia of the balcony on the north and east elevation of the house. These signs will be illuminated by an external source above the channel letters and logo. Each logo will be 1’-6” in diameter. Letters will be slightly smaller. 2) Install a monument sign on the northeast corner of the property. This sign will be externally illuminated and will rest on a stone base. The actual sign will be 4’-8” tall and 3’-6” wide. 3) Install vinyl company-associated signs in the windows on the north and east elevations of the house. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW SIZE II. The City of Austin’s Sign Standards control the type and number of signs proposed at historic landmarks: I. FLUSH-MOUNTED SIGNS SIGN TYPES A. A flush-mounted wall sign is one that is mounted flat to the wall. LOCATION Locate a flush-mounted wall sign just above the display window. Do not locate a flush-mounted wall sign above second-floor windows. When feasible, place a wall sign such that it aligns with others in the block. When planning a wall sign, determine if decorative moldings exist that could define a “sign panel.” If so, locate flush-mounted signs such that they fit within panels formed by moldings or transom panels on the façade. In no case should a sign obscure significant façade features. INAPPROPRIATE SIGN TYPES In general, the maximum wall sign area on a building should not exceed 7% of the overall façade area; in some cases, however, the Commission may consider approving a maximum of 10%, if overall compatibility with the District is demonstrated. The maximum height of an individual flush-mounted sign shall be 2 feet. NUMBER OF SIGNS Only one flush-mounted sign shall be allowed for each distinct façade module. Signs that are out of character with those seen historically, and that would alter the historic character of the street. Free-standing signs, either pole-mounted or monument types. Animated signs. Sandwich (or menu) boards that stand on the sidewalk are generally discouraged. Any sign that visually overpowers the building or …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MAY 24, 2021 HR-2021-039343 SMOOT/TERRACE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 612 HIGHLAND AVENUE B.3 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a 1-story house with a lower level and partial basement; renovate the existing garage. The proposed project is a 1-story house clad in horizontal hardiplank siding and capped by a combination hipped and flat roof covered in standing-seam metal. Features include a shed-roofed front dormer, full-height fixed and casement steel-sash windows, a fully glazed steel-frame front door, and a stucco chimney. Concrete steps provide access to a full-width, 11’ deep front porch with a low stucco wall, vertical metal railings, and flat metal roof with wood soffit. A screened porch on the south is capped by a low-pitched roof and set back 51’ from the front wall. A lower-level opening to the rear of the property is minimally visible from the street. An existing detached garage is proposed to be renovated. Changes include replacement of horizontal wood siding with board and batten hardiplank siding, replacement of the garage doors, and in-kind replacement of the roof covering. The garage is accessed by the rear alley and not visible from Highland Avenue. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Smoot/Terrace Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. New construction shall have the same street orientation and distance from adjacent buildings as the contributing buildings in the same block. The building sits on the previous historic building’s footprint (destroyed by fire), with the same orientation and distance as contributing buildings on the block. The project meets this standard. 2. Setbacks for new construction shall be consistent with setbacks of the district’s contributing houses. The building’s setback aligns with the adjacent contributing building on the south. The project meets this standard. 4. Design new buildings so that they are compatible with, but differentiated from, historic buildings in the district. The building’s scale and massing are compatible with nearby historic buildings. Elements such as the hipped roof form, dormer window, and full-width front porch present a modern take on historic architecture found elsewhere in the district. The triple banks of windows on the front wall and in the dormer reference window patterns in nearby historic buildings, with more vertical proportions that are compatible with the modern style and steeper roof pitch. The horizontal siding and porch railing reference cladding and porch …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MAY 24, 2021 C14H-1975-0003; HR-2021-053747 LINDEMANN HOUSE 1100 E. 8TH ST. B.4 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct perimeter brick retaining walls with metal fencing. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Construct brick retaining walls along the E. 8th St. and Waller St. sides of the property. The walls will be in two tiers, each a maximum of 3’ high, with a planting bed between. The brick, which will match an existing planter at the rear of the property, is close in appearance to the brick of the house. See image, below. 2) Along the upper wall will be 3’-high decorative metal fencing to match an existing gate at the rear of the property. The gate has metal pickets with arches and finials. ARCHITECTURE Constructed ca. 1887, the Lindemann House is a 1 ½-story Folk Victorian house built of Austin common brick. The house has a side-gabled roof with a centered, front-facing gable. The full-width porch has a jigsawn balustrade between six square columns with chamfered corners, decorative trim, and jigsawn brackets. Windows are 2:2 double-hung wood within segmental arched openings. The house sits on a considerable rise above E. 8th and Waller streets. A raised lawn surrounding the house is reached by steps from the corner and side street, with decorative metal gates and railings. Between, dense primrose jasmine grows along the slope out to the curb line, with no sidewalk. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW Sites and streetscapes The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects at historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1.1 Do not grade, fill, or excavate unless it is to solve a drainage or flooding problem. The project will leave the upper lawn around the house at the same level. The brick retaining walls will provide a more durable and permanent solution for the significant slope between the lawn and street levels. The design also will have a greater sense of openness than the current dense plantings. 2.4 If constructing a new street-side fence or site wall, design it so that the materials, style, and scale are compatible with and differentiated from the architectural style and period of the building and are in keeping with historic fence styles and heights in the historic district. a. New front fences must be …

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Construct a pool in front yard, fully integrated into the slope of the site and without a raised edge. Surrounding the pool will be a limestone patio in an area where a limestone patio already exists. The pool will be to the south end of the lot, largely offset from the façade of the house. Pool equipment will be located near the south property line, recessed further than the rear of the one-story side porch of the house. 2) Construct a transparent fence at the perimeter of the property. The fence will be either iron pickets with iron posts, similar to the fence at the Governor’s Mansion but of lesser height, or iron pickets between masonry piers, similar to the open fencing and limestone piers at the Fred and Margaret Sharp House (not the solid wall; see description and photo, below). The applicant welcomes the Commission’s direction regarding the design.

The site was not mentioned in the landmark nomination; it is significant as the setting of the landmark house and not in its own right. The front yard is substantial, with a 96’ setback from the curb to the front of the house. The house also sits at a noticeable rise from Harris Blvd., with the first-floor level 84” above the street. The primary character-defining features of the site are this subtly bermed topography and the central steps aligned with the front entrance.
