D.2.3 - 1601 Brackenridge Street - Rehabilitation Proposal original pdf

Thumbnail of the first page of the PDF
Page 1 of 3 pages

PROPOSAL Restore the existing home at 1601 Brackenridge Street and add a new construction ADU at the rear of the property (17’ to the rear of the original home). PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Restore front porch. The original porch was closed in and the original front windows were moved to the front of the current porch. Will return the front porch to its original design with openings on three sides. The original brick posts on either end of the front porch are in good condition and do not appear to require restoration. 2) Demolish non-original rear addition, including the rear chimney which seems to have been added when this rear addition was added. This rear addition is 12.5’ long along the entire width of the rear of the building. 3) Build new pier and beam foundation for the entire home. The existing foundation has severe movement and is not able to properly support a home. The outside dimensions of the foundation will remain exactly as they currently are built (with the exception of the removal of the rear addition discussed in Item 1). 4) Restore windows and front door and repair original siding or replace in-kind where deteriorated beyond repair. The windows along the sides facing the street (Brackenridge Street and E. Monroe Street) will remain in the exact same location as they are currently located. Due to the severe movement of the foundation all of the windows will need to be removed and restored. Some new windows will be installed along the two other sides of the house so that they can be property sized to allow for egress as required by code from bedrooms. 5) Replace shingle roof with standing-seam metal roof. The roof height and pitch will remain the same. 6) Add a dormer at the rear roof section to roughly match the existing (believed to be original) dormer at the front roof section. This dormer will have a window in it as well. 7) Add a 2nd story space within the existing pitch of the roof. GUIDING GOALS FOR THE PROJECT The following goals apply to the proposed project: 1) Do not alter or remove historic features unless they are deteriorated beyond repair. 2) If replacing deteriorated historic features, match the original as close as possible. Historic windows and siding will be repaired, with in-kind replacement reserved for only those elements that are deteriorated beyond repair. 3) …

D.9.c - 6800 Woodrow Ave - Citizen Comments original pdf

Thumbnail of the first page of the PDF
Page 1 of 3 pages

March 18, 2021 Matt Sloan Owner, Wild Susan LLC RE: Case Number GF 21-015014 Comments for Consideration These comments are in relation to the demolition permit applied for on 6800 Woodrow Avenue 78757 (“First Cumberland” or “FCPC” hereafter) by Michael Tevis and/or a business interest of his (including but not limited to Intrinsic Ventures, Intrinsic Companies, and Woodrow Studios). I am the owner of a local candle business called Wild Susan and have a prior business relationship with the owner. This is a description of mine and my business’ experience with the aforementioned owner. On November 11, 2020, I responded to a posted ad for art studios for lease because my business was at the point of outgrowing my home studio and I needed a separate work space. I spoke with Mr. Tevis the same day, describing my business and what my use of a studio looks like. He responded favorably and I scheduled a walkthrough with Patrick Hill, the NAI Partners real estate broker, the following day. I described my business again to Mr. Hill, and we agreed that the space would be a good fit for my business needs. I signed the commercial lease on November 16, 2020 and began moving my production within the next few days. Within a couple weeks, I realized I needed more space for storage as 50lb boxes of wax take up a good bit of room, so I contacted Mr. Hill to lease another space in the building which was signed on December 14, 2020. On December 10, 2020, a substantial water leak occurred in a closet adjacent to my space, which damaged the protective floorboards I placed to avoid damaging the carped and forced me to dispose of them as well as some other business assets. I reported the leak and made no issue over the business property. The first (and only) time I met Mr. Tevis was on December 15, 2020 at a building-wide meeting. Prior to the meeting, Mr. Tevis commented to me that “I’m used to artists just piddling around in their studios, and you’re running a business.” Obviously, I was a bit taken aback for two reasons – one, I described in full detail in our initial discussions what I would be using the studio for, and yes, I run a business to support my family; two, if his view of artists is that they “piddle” around, …
