Hill House Relocation Proposal Villas on Rio, LP plans to develop the property located at 2110 Nueces St. A 19 story student housing tower will be built at the site. Currently, the Hill House is located at 2104 Nueces St. Multiple high rise towers have recently been built in the vicinity of the Hill House. Villas on Rio, LP is proposing to relocate the Hill House one block away to 22nd St., an area with multiple historic houses. If the Hill House remains in its current location, there will be high rise towers on all sides. Villas on Rio, LP would like to showcase the house instead of having it hidden by high rise towers. Hill House in Relation to Future Developments The Hill House is currently located at 2104 Nueces St. This location is being overshadowed by high rise student housing. If the Hill House is moved, it would be highlighted in a prominent location with similar houses. Surrounded by High Rise Towers In its current location, the Hill House will be surrounded by 17-19 story student housing towers. These towers will completely wrap the house, making it appear hidden in shadows and out of place. Hill House Relocation Villas on Rio, LP is proposing to relocate the Hill House to 22nd St., adjacent the White Springfield House. The 22nd St. allows the Hill House to be more visible, instead of being overpowered by high rise towers. Access to the house will be better because of less pedestrian traffic. Hill House Proposed Site Plan This site plan reflects the proposed Hill House relocation to the west side of White Springfield House. There is ample room for the relocation, and the large trees will remain. Hill House Rendering The Hill House will be moved to a prominent location which highlights the historic houses along 22nd St. Description of Remodel: • Leveling Foundation • • Structural Repairs Siding Repairs • Railing Repairs • Re-Paint Hill House Current Photos Intersection of 22nd St and Nueces St Intersection of 22nd St and Nueces St Intersection of 22nd St and Rio Grande St Intersection of 22nd St and Rio Grande St
Thank you so much for getting this on the agenda! The increase in crime we have seen around campus in the past few months is unbelievable. The residents do not feel safe and we would like to fence off the perimeter of the property to insure their safety. Attached is a site plan w/ the proposed fencing outlined. Also below are examples photos of the proposed fencing. If you have any initial feedback I am all ears. I would like to get this through HLC this month so that we can install the fence right away. Steck House is a meticulously maintained property and will remain so. We are just very concerned about crime in the area and would like to secure the premises as soon as possible. Thank you very much Steve. Cater Joseph Proposed steel picket fencing material, pickets with crushed spear tops Proposed chain link fencing materials Proposed covered entry gate example
