Brummett, Elizabeth From: Sent: To: Subject: Wynn Baker Monday, January 25, 2021 3:01 PM PAZ Preservation 2803 Bonnie Road Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Flagged *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** To the Austin Historic Landmark Commission ‐ I did not have a chance to register to speak in time for the hearing this evening but I would like to register against the proposed destruction of the home on 2803 Bonnie Road. Allowing the house at 2803 Bonnie Road to be torn down is going to continue the abhorrent process of the dissolution of our community identity. Home builders are buying properties across the city and building cold modern homes that do not reflect the character that made Austin desirable in the first place. The charms of the neighborhoods are being lost for the sake of market value and making already expensive home prices to be out of reach of residents in Austin. In the question of Bonnie road house, it is not falling down or in disrepair. The argument that the home isn’t eligible for a historic marker because the residents weren’t significant enough is a slap int he face of Austin residents. Austin is the State Capitol home to countless government employees who allow the state to function. Mr. Reichert worked for the Texas Highway Department after serving public radio for years. While that may not be significant to the greater history of the State, people like that are what make Austin special. I hope that my service to the State Legislature is not one day evaluated by city staff as not significant in 80 years. Nalle Custom Homes is going to build a custom home that looks exactly like all their other homes… sell it for millions of dollars and make the prospect of actual Austin residents looking for affordable homes continuously more difficult. More and more neighborhoods in Austin are slowly becoming carbon copies of Nalle homes and other modern builds. The unique draw that Austin has is disappearing because houses like Bonnie Road are being destroyed. These ‘custom’ homes are all so similar they’re going to turn our beautiful and historic city neighborhoods into streets no better than suburban masterplanned communities. I truly hope you will consider protecting this beautiful example of Tudor Revival home that has been well maintained for nearly a century. But I honestly don’t expect you to. I …
