Most homes in Clarksville, even new ones, are relatively simple, but nothing about 1104 will be. It appears that Paradisa Homes completely ignored the architecture in the neighborhood and assumed that the kind of home it builds in the more suburban neighborhoods where it typically works, would be appropriate. Paradisa also ignored the impact of the home’s height on its neighbors and especially on the Lawson House, a historic landmark next door. It will loom over that house. More does not necessarily mean better and that is certainly true when it comes to the home Paradisa proposes to build. I therefore ask that the company go back to the drawing board and scale its plans way back so that 1104 Toyath better reflects the scale and style of other homes on the block and respects Clarksville’s unique history and traditional architecture. In order to do so, a meeting with the HLC’s Architectural Review Committee would seem wise. One final note: Months ago, representatives of the CCDC met with Luis Zaragosa of Paradisa to discuss its plans for 1104 Toyath. During the meeting, we suggested changes that would make the new home more appropriate for Clarksville. Although the plans on file indicate that the company did not make most of the changes we asked for, we do appreciate the fact that Paradisa relocated the carport to the back of the house. We also appreciate the size of the front porch. Both design features are good first steps, but there is much more work to be done before the home Paradisa Homes envisions will be right for the neighborhood. 1 Thank you for considering my request.

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: maxsonia Friday, August 20, 2021 4:14 PM PAZ Preservation Property at 1510 Ashwood Road, Delwood Duplex Historic District *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** I received notification of an application for a building permit for the house at 1510 Ashwood Road in the Delwood Duplex Historic District, Case # HR 21‐119779. I own property nearby at 3902 Maplewood. The windows of the house are being replaced, and I assume are the items under discussion. I’m an architectural historian, formerly with the National Register Department of the Texas Historical Commission. I know that the metal casement windows found throughout the Historic District are now likely 70 years old and generally require maintenance. But these are also character‐defining features for the neighborhood, as virtually every house or duplex in the Districts does or did have casement windows, and the loss of these particularly at a house at the gateway of the neighborhood would have a negative effect, causing me to object. The windows that have already been replaced at this property seem to be tinted plate glass with fake interior muntons. These detract from the historic character of the property for at least four reasons: ‐ They have no shadow lines, which to the eye define divided light windows ‐ They divisions are different than those of the historic casement windows ‐ The tinted glass is non‐historic, and it sometimes totally obscures that there are any muntin elements at all ‐ The introduction of those windows sets a precedent in the neighborhood When I was at the Historical Commission and reviewed similar cases, the in‐house nickname for such windows was "The Orphan Annie Look,” as the windows read as large black eyes where divided light clear windows belong. The circa 1950 architecture of the district was at a time of few embellishments, very simple. The windows are distinctive, and certainly worth restoration or replacement in kind.

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Sunday, August 22, 2021 6:01 PM PAZ Preservation 82 San Marcos St case # PR-21-113815 This message is from Sylvia Marroquin. I received a notice of the hearing on the demolition of the property located at 82 San Marcos on Thursday. I see that the letter was dated for mailing on Aug 12. I do not believe that a local letter should take over a week to be delivered. In any case, the mailing date and the delivery dates are 2 very different things. I do not believe that enough notice has been given to all my neighbors to have the hearing as scheduled . I object to having the hearing until all interested parties are properly notified. Additionally, I would like to add that I went by the house and found the sign lying on the ground behind tall weeds. not visible to the street! The house in question in inside of the Willow Spence National Historic district. The entire district is comprised of 4 blocks total. Thus far we have had no one try to destroy any of our historic homes. The house in question is by far in better condition than my house at 908 willow street was when I purchased it. I restored my home! The house will need some updating as all these 1920‐ 1930's homes do, but it is not a tear down. There are plenty of homes all over the east side that developers can buy and tear down without hardly any problem. This house is in a National Historic District. If the buyers of this property did not like the house and had no intention of restoring, then they should not have bought it. It was their choice! Do not set a precedent that it is okay to tear down the homes in the Willow Spence National Historic District!! We must work to preserve the homes . It is only 4 blocks! Please do not allow historic homes to be torn down and contemporary style homes be built in these 4 little blocks!! 1

Multiple locations around the exterior had stair step cracking occurring. Most openings had stair step cracking to some degree. Walls were noted as bulging on the north end of the building and the south west of the structure. Large cracks and faulting was also noted in the crawl space within the ribs of the floor support system. Large cracks was also noted on the terrazzo flooring on the interior, radiating outward from interior wall corners.

DESIGN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20210823-2B August 24, 2021 Honorable Mayor Adler Honorable City Council Members City Manager Spencer Cronk Re: Downtown Density Bonus Program Dear Mayor and City Council Members, The resolution attached is the third of three resolutions adopted by the Design Commission to improve the Downtown Density Bonus Program (DDBP). The first two resolutions were forwarded earlier this month. As Gatekeepers of the DDBP, we believe our input is valuable to the work currently underway to revise the fees for this program. This final resolution provides reasoning as to why an assessment of the onsite affordable housing component is needed, especially as it relates to fee-in-lieu calibration. While the DDBP aims to help create affordable housing downtown, it has no assurances that these units are ever occupied, which is a failure of the program. Operational and financial barriers have been identified that can prevent affordable units from being utilized and therefore these barriers should be addressed so that all affordable housing units built downtown are occupied. As the Design Commission reviews all of the DDBP projects, we believe we have a thorough understanding of the program’s successes and failures and we offer this resolution to improve the program for your consideration so that it may provide more benefit to our community. Sincerely, David Carroll Chair City of Austin Design Commission RESOLUTION ON DOWNTOWN DENSITY BONUS ONSITE AFFORDABILITY ASSESSMENT WHEREAS, providing affordable housing downtown is needed to create a vibrant and diverse community; and WHEREAS, the downtown density bonus program is an essential tool for supporting affordable housing; and WHEREAS, assessing the implementation of on site affordable housing is needed to improve the downtown density bonus program; and WHEREAS, the calibration report by EcoNorthwest did not include feedback from the developers responsible for providing on-site affordable housing and financing the Downtown Density Bonus fees-in-lieu; and WHEREAS, on-site affordable housing can be problematic to implement and it has not been assessed as part of the Downtown Density Bonus program; and WHEREAS, increasing costs through city fees can cause developers to charge higher rent or sell at a higher cost per square foot to cover the minimum required Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR); and WHEREAS, when a condo project has hotel financing which requires all condo owners to use the units as a second residence, providing on-site affordable units to an income-restricted group that also owns a second home is very unlikely; …
