703 Oakland Avenue Inspection Report : Exterior Walls Deficient: Significant and detrimental water damage observed at wall assemblies. Condition is most severe at east wall and "garage" transition. Other locations included around all wall openings (doors, windows, etc.). As repairs are conducted, additional areas are expected to be discovered. The water damage is correlated with deferred maintenance, missing flashing and weatherization details and poor construction practices. If ignored, condition will progress. Visible active termites Smoot Terrace Design Standards : Exterior Walls If replacement of the historic exterior wall materials is necessary, choose a material similar in dimensions, profile, reveal, and texture to the historic material, and install the new materials so that they do not damage adjacent historic fabric and so that they maintain the planar relationships and joint patterns that existed historically relative to window frames, door frames, and other exterior features What Katie Did: Discussion with OWANA zoning members Selected tear-drop siding based on the historical significance and relates to the character of the homes built in 1930s. Installed flashing and water barrier (zip board) for long term preservation. Replaced window molding with pressure-treated wood for long term preservation but maintaining same architectural design from 1938. Inspection Report : Windows Deficient: The windows are in over-all very poor condition. The majority of windows observed with water penetrations issues, air infiltration issues, deteriorated glazing, cracked panes and damaged/missing counter balance springs, impeded egress (can not escape during emergency - windows do not open). Smoot Terrace Design Standards : Windows 1. Avoid alterations that enlarge or relocate window openings 2. Retain and repair all components of existing historic windows unless HPO staff and/or the HLC agree that the individual component is deteriorated beyond repair 3. If replacement of historic windows is necessary, use windows that are the same size and match the dimensions, profile, and configuration of historic windows 4. Substitute materials are appropriate if they maintain the profile and finish appearance of the historic window. What Katie Did 1. Did not enlarge or relocate any window openings with the exception two rear kitchen windows (south wall - facing backyard) 2. Retained and repaired all possible historic windows by mixing and matching components which were salvageable. 3. For necessary replacement of historic windows, used windows that are the same size and match the dimensions, profile, and configuration of historic windows 4. Substituted materials are appropriate to the profile and finish …
Subject: Date: Case #C15-2020-0013 Friday, March 06, 2020 7:56:49 AM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Ms. Ramirez, I am writing to you because I work and will not be able to attend the application hearing on Monday, 3/9/2020. The applicant, Leah Bojo 512 807 2918, owner at 2700 East 5th JV, LLC; 512 835 4890, is requesting a variance to increase the maximum allowable Compatibility Height requirements of Article 10, Compatibility Standards, Division 2- Development Standards, Section 25-2-1063(C)(2)..... As a nearby property owner I am opposed to allowing this variance given the location, density, traffic density, and size of this land plot. If the City of Austin approves this request I ask that immediate solutions for the existing inadequate traffic pattern be remedied as well as a solid study and remedy for the influx of traffic, construction vehicles and equipment, impact on pedestrians and homeowners immediately at this site, and the lack of responsible traffic stops (this intersection is dangerous with near misses several times a day, the street is narrow on the other end, and people often drive in the center of the road and cut off oncoming vehicles).

They both presented. There was agreement that the only way forward for this property was via a site plan application. This based on what DSD wrote when it denied 2018-129959 DA, what the BoA commissioners said at their August 12th meeting, and the SMNP contact team's policy that votes on variances will only occur after DSD's site plan review. Mr. Perales stated he could submit a site plan to DSD before Thanksgiving. My personal observation was that the owner, Dr. Wu, put the property up for sale instead. As you are well aware, Mr. Perales submitted a site plan on January 13th prior to that evening's BoA meeting at which you presented this case as part of a discussion of multiple postponements.

Due to this, we reached back out to the neighborhood to better understand our options as well try to gain support for an additional height increase on our project to minimize the impacts during the City review process. Over the weekend, I met with the neighborhood and in exchange for support for a 4 story/60-ft height on the commercial component on our project, we are going to reserve an additional 3 residential units as Affordable. With this being said, we need to update our original application, re-notify and in turn, request one final postponement (to April) due to this. I have CCed the Neighborhood Chair in case Daniel needs to serve as the “requestor” for said postponement.
