LIBRARY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20210426-5b: Support for Austin Public Library Proposed Budget for FY22 Seconded By: Date: April 26, 2021 Subject: Support for Austin Public Library Proposed Budget for FY22 Motioned By: Recommendation Support for Austin Public Library Proposed Budget for FY22 Description of Recommendation to Council Requesting that the Austin City Council approve the proposed Austin Public Library budget of $60,190,266 for FY2022, an increase of 2.25% or $1,321,890 from FY21, including an increase to the materials budget by 3.5% or $206,368. Rationale: “Libraries are a cornerstone of democracy—where information is free and equally available to everyone. People tend to take that for granted, and they don’t realize what is at stake when that is put at risk.” ― Carla Hayden, 14th Librarian of Congress During an unprecedented year, including COVID-19 pandemic related shutdowns and a city-wide weeklong freeze, APL continued to serve the citizens of Austin by providing online access to digital materials and by providing access to conventional format books and materials by providing curbside service at 11 of its 20 branches. APL also continues to provide innovative programming. In the past year, April 2020 – March 2021, APL hosted 1325 virtual programs with 37,430 attendees. 2020’s APL Virtual Summer Reading Program saw a 39% increase in APL Summer Reading site views with nearly 10,000 individual views between June – August. Recently, in an effort to address the ongoing digital divide, the APL coordinated a widespread device loan program in partnership with community organizations and area school districts. Through individual donations, funding from commissions and boards, the CARES Act and operational funds, APL loaned laptops and hotspots to the Housing Authority of the City of Austin (HACA), Foundation Communities, South Asian’s International Volunteer Association of Austin (SAIVA), and City Departments to support families, individuals, and especially older adults who are isolated and lack access to online information and resources. This effort was driven by a clear need observed in the community, further amplified by COVID-19. In addition, APL staff recently made 209 calls to customers over the age of 65 who haven’t visited the library since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020. APL wanted to let customers 1 of 2 know that the library is open for curbside and answer questions about connecting to the virtual collection. APL also continues to provide staff development training to support the ability of all employees to provide a welcoming, …

For AHCA, the inability to bring folks together threatened our ability to raise membership and revenue. Without the opportunity to hold live events, we knew it would be extremely difficult to stay top-of-mind for potential donors as well as our members. The achievements Membership has grown… like we’ve never seen it grow before ● AHCA membership has increased over 800% to approximately 650 members in the last 3 years ○ June 2018 - 80 ○ June 2019 - 331 ○ June 2020 - 534 ○ June 2021 - ~650 (Greater diversity in membership) The achievements (cont.) The Eberly Luncheon proves to be an online hit! ● Our principal annual fundraiser, conducted over Zoom, has grown by 64% even in the face of a pandemic. ● This year’s Eberly Luncheon had more commercial (private business) sponsorships than ever before. ● One of the most attended AHCA events ever. The achievements (cont.) Oral history recordings continue to be a primary focus ● Since June 2019, AHCA has conducted 29 more Oral Histories to AHC. You can hear and see them on our new 54 page website: http://www.austinhistory.net. ● Almost 100 oral histories of Austinites have been placed at AHC since 2016 for posterity. The achievements (cont.) AHCA Endowments are growing ● AHCA Endowments for operations expenses have seen growth surpassing seven figures for the first time in the Association’s 42-year history ○ 1983 Endowment: >100% growth ○ 2016 Emergency Fund: 57% growth ○ 2021 AHCA Operations Endowment The achievements (cont.)

A STATE-OF-THE-ART ARCHIVAL HISTORY CENTER FOR AUSTIN! Progress and planning update, April 2021 Conceptual rendering by Evan Taniguchi, Taniguchi Architects, Board of Directors & Past President of AHCA The Austin History Center (AHC), part of the Austin Public Library (APL) system, is a rapidly growing asset for Austin’s future. For 41 years, the Austin History Center Association (AHCA) has advocated to develop this destination-venue for ALL of Austin. The visionary passage of bonds by Austin voters in 2012 and 2018 is enabling critical infrastructure updates and repairs to the Faulk Library and the Austin History Center. AHCA shares an update about our aggressive pursuit of a critical path of planning activities: 1. In 2018, AHCA leaders and staff partnered with AHC staff and community stakeholders in a dynamic visioning process commissioned by APL and led by Gensler. Gensler’s report, Re- imagining the Faulk; Vision Project; Report on the Future of the Faulk Library Building - January 2019, strongly re-affirmed that archival use was the most desired outcome for the Faulk Building. 2. In 2019, AHCA committed to raise funds for a Master Plan to guide redeveloping and repurposing the 1978 Faulk Library building, the adjacent 1933 Library building, and the flex- space in between. To date, AHCA has raised $53,050 toward this goal. A Master Plan will support and facilitate our visioning process for programming and civic use that is compelling, engaging, attractive, accessible, and pertinent to the diverse history of ALL of Austin and its visitors. 3. In 2019, AHCA received a $12,000 donor grant to hire three graduate students at Texas State University’s School of Public History for Fall 2020-Spring 2021. These outstanding interns are tasked with researching master planning and programming at similar large American history centers, including the Houston Metropolitan Research Center, Atlanta History Center and San Diego History Center. They have also focused on the use of emergent technologies for history centers and archives to engage the public and provide dynamic and appealing exhibit ideas for the AHC Master Plan. Following the interns’ research, incoming AHCA President Kent Collins toured/ visited with Executive Staff of the Atlanta History Center this April! AHCA Executive Director Jeff Cohen also plans a July 2021 visit to the Atlanta History Center. 4. Ongoing tireless efforts to grow the profile and footprint of the AHCA in the Austin community have resulted in nearly 700 annual members for our organization. Our …
LIBRARY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20210426-5b: Support for Austin Public Library Proposed Budget for FY22 Seconded By: Chair Dabbert Date: April 26, 2021 Subject: Support for Austin Public Library Proposed Budget for FY22 Motioned By: Commissioner Hanna Recommendation Support for Austin Public Library Proposed Budget for FY22 Description of Recommendation to Council Requesting that the Austin City Council approve the proposed Austin Public Library budget of $60,190,266 for FY2022, an increase of 2.25% or $1,321,890 from FY21, including an increase to the materials budget by 3.5% or $206,368. Rationale: “Libraries are a cornerstone of democracy—where information is free and equally available to everyone. People tend to take that for granted, and they don’t realize what is at stake when that is put at risk.” ― Carla Hayden, 14th Librarian of Congress During an unprecedented year, including COVID-19 pandemic related shutdowns and a city-wide weeklong freeze, APL continued to serve the citizens of Austin by providing online access to digital materials and by providing access to conventional format books and materials by providing curbside service at 11 of its 20 branches. APL also continues to provide innovative programming. In the past year, April 2020 – March 2021, APL hosted 1325 virtual programs with 37,430 attendees. 2020’s APL Virtual Summer Reading Program saw a 39% increase in APL Summer Reading site views with nearly 10,000 individual views between June – August. Recently, in an effort to address the ongoing digital divide, the APL coordinated a widespread device loan program in partnership with community organizations and area school districts. Through individual donations, funding from commissions and boards, the CARES Act and operational funds, APL loaned laptops and hotspots to the Housing Authority of the City of Austin (HACA), Foundation Communities, South Asian’s International Volunteer Association of Austin (SAIVA), and City Departments to support families, individuals, and especially older adults who are isolated and lack access to online information and resources. This effort was driven by a clear need observed in the community, further amplified by COVID-19. In addition, APL staff recently made 209 calls to customers over the age of 65 who haven’t visited the library since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020. APL wanted to let customers 1 of 2 know that the library is open for curbside and answer questions about connecting to the virtual collection. APL also continues to provide staff development training to support the ability of all employees …

QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Architecture and historical associations HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: N/A PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: N/A DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The house is beyond the bounds of any historic resources survey to date. CITY COUNCIL DATE: N/A ORDINANCE READINGS: N/A CASE MANAGER: Elizabeth Brummett NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS: Allandale Neighborhood Association; Austin Independent School District; Austin Lost and Found Pets; Austin Neighborhoods Council; AustinRAMP; Bike Austin; Central Austin Community Development Corporation; Central Austin Urbanists; Friends of Austin Neighborhoods; Homeless Neighborhood Assocation; Lower District 7 Green; NW Austin Neighbors; Neighborhood Empowerment Foundation; North Austin Neighborhood Alliance; Preservation Austin; SELTexas; Shoal Creek Conservancy; Sierra Club, Austin Regional Group BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: The Kohn House, built around 1938 for Adolph and Mollie Kohn, occupies a premier site in the Shoalmont Addition. Two lots wide, the expansive parcel extends from Shoal Creek Boulevard on the east to Shoal Creek on the west and is studded with mature oaks. The architect of the house is unknown, but the design is possibly attributed to Kohn himself. Eclectic in its design, the one-story house is T-shaped, with a long side-gabled volume facing the street and a rear hipped-roof wing. A two-story square tower with a pyramidal roof is asymmetrically placed near the north end of the house. The house is predominantly clad in random ashlar limestone with quoins at the corners and a stone chimney; a portion of the rear elevation is clad in horizontal wood siding. Wrapping the southeast end of the house is a porch with square wood posts and curved brackets; its gable end has waney-edge siding. Varied fenestration includes multi-light casements, a bay window with a metal roof, round portholes, and 1:1 double-hung wood windows. To the rear of the house, the site also includes two side-gabled accessory buildings, one clad in board-and-batten and the other in horizontal wood siding. Historical Associations: The Kohn House is significant for its association with entrepreneur Adolf Kohn. A German immigrant, Kohn worked in multiple positions …
B.2 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS APRIL 26, 2021 C14H-1986-0015, C14H-2004-0008 GRANDBERRY BUILDING AND MITCHELL-ROBERTSON BUILDING CONGRESS AVENUE HISTORIC DISTRICT 907, 909, AND 911 CONGRESS AVENUE PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Review of a plan to deconstruct, store, and re-erect historic building façades. Catalog and store, then re-erect the historic building façades as part of a redevelopment project at a later date. In conjunction with proposed additions, the project received preliminary approval from the Historic Landmark Commission on January 26, 2015 and June 25, 2018, pending development of more detailed plans for treatment of the façades. On March 24, 2021, the Building Standards Commission issued an order requiring that conditions be remedied within 90 days or imposing fines on the property owner. Per the applicant, stabilization of the buildings in place is not technically feasible due to the extent of deterioration, including mortar loss, shear failures and racking, and the inability to adequately shore the façades following demolition of masonry party walls that provide lateral support. The wall abutting the adjacent historic landmark building, in particular, requires demolition to allow that property owner to perform needed repairs. The proposed scope of work entails developing a detailed plan for deconstruction and reconstruction of the historic façades, including as an initial phase: review of existing documentation, visual and non-destructive analysis of building materials and assemblies, structural evaluation, and development of a finalized scope of work and sequence of implementation. Laser scanning will be performed. Deconstruction will be done by hand and treated much like an archeological investigation, with specific conditions and hidden elements documented as work progresses. This information will inform preparation of reconstruction drawings and specifications. The applicant proposes to place a restrictive covenant on the property requiring reconstruction within three years. ARCHITECTURE STANDARDS FOR REVIEW Three two-part commercial blocks sharing party walls; buildings are boarded at the street level. At the second floor, the Grandberry Building at 907 Congress has two-over-two light windows with decorative hood moulds, and the Mitchell- Robertson Building at 909 Congress has one-over-one windows and corbelled brickwork at the cornice. The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects at historic landmarks. The Historic Design Standards indicate that if any aspect of a proposed project is not covered by the design standards, the Secretary of …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS APRIL 26, 2021 C14H-2010-0009; HR-2021-041008 VOSS HOUSE 1501 NORTHWOOD ROAD B.3 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a rear and second-level addition. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish detached garage. 2) Construct a rear addition. The addition extends the back corner of the house by 5’-1” to the south and 8’-5 ½” to the west. Another building, 16’-5” by 25’-2”, is connected by an open porch in a dog-trot configuration. The additions have a cross-gabled, standing-seam metal roof and are clad in horizontal wood siding. Windows are 1:1 light and are of similar size and proportions to the windows on the house. 3) Construct a second-story addition to the house. The addition extends the ridgeline of the gabled roof to form a higher gable at the same roof pitch. On the east side facing Harris Blvd. is a shed-roofed dormer extending from the upper ridgeline. The overall length of the addition is pulled in from both gable ends, and the dormer is further inset. This addition also has standing-seam metal roofing and horizontal wood siding. Windows on the west are 1:1 light, arranged singly or in groupings of three, and are of similar size to the windows on the house. Windows in the east-facing dormer are also 1:1 light, arranged singly or in pairs, and though smaller are of similar proportions. 4) Remove four mulled windows on the south wall of the house and install a large, multi-light fixed window. ARCHITECTURE The Voss House faces Northwood Road; however, the following description from the landmark nomination considers the Harris Blvd. side as the primary elevation. The house is a one-story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled frame bungalow with a partial-width front-gabled independent porch on battered posts and stone piers with a brick cap and a vertical baluster railing. Fenestration consists of 1:1 wood-frame, wood-sash units in single and multiple configurations; the entry is flanked with sidelights. A battered stone chimney pierces the north side gable of the house. The garage is not mentioned in the landmark nomination. It has a low-pitched pyramidal roof and is clad in board-and- batten siding. The garage is located to the southwest of the house at the rear corner of the property, with a modern overhead garage door facing Harris Blvd. While the 1961 Sanborn Fire Insurance map shows a garage at the same location, it has a different footprint. Building permits show the …

The attached carport will have a gabled roof with a lower ridge height than the shed, standing seam metal roofing with exposed rafter tails to match the shed, and round concrete columns. 4) Construct a guest house to the north of the house, adjacent to an existing retaining wall. The guest house will have two parallel gables with standing-seam metal roofing, exposed rafter tails, board-and-batten siding, two brick chimneys, and a covered porch with round concrete columns. ARCHITECTURE Described in the landmark nomination as turn-of-the-century eclectic, this Queen Anne-style house features a wraparound front porch with Ionic columns, asymmetrical tower, and widow’s walk. The ground floor is clad in horizontal wood siding, with shingles on the second floor and tower. Windows are predominantly 1:1 wood, with decorative light patterns at the tower windows. Architectural drawings by Bell & Hoffman Architecture indicate the rear porch and balcony were built in 1986 as part of restoration and additions to the house.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS APRIL 26, 2021 HR-2021-048226 ROGERS WASHINGTON HOLY CROSS HISTORIC DISTRICT 1910 MAPLE AVENUE B.7 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Replace vinyl windows with more appropriate windows, reconfigure and replace non-original vinyl windows and replacement doors, enlarge rear window, repair structural damage, reroof and add two skylights, remove non-original rear shed addition, add screens at rear. 1) Replace incompatible vinyl windows and doors with composite doors and wood-aluminum composite windows. 2) Enlarge window opening at rear elevation and replace glazing. 3) Replace non-original secondary door and sliding glass door at north elevation with windows. 4) Remove non-original exterior shed addition at rear of house, patching exterior wall where required. 5) Repair structural damage at main façade, including deconstruction, salvage, and reconstruction of original stacked limestone veneer. 6) Repair roof and replace shingles. Add skylights at rear and main elevation. 7) Replace sconces with dark sky-compliant sconces. 8) Add screens to rear porch. ARCHITECTURE One-story L-plan Mid-century Modern house clad in stacked limestone and vertical wood siding, with low-pitched roof, deep eaves, and horizontal and clerestory windows. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Rogers Washington Holy Cross Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1.0 PROTECTED FAÇADES. Protected facades are defined as the front façade, front 50% of the side facades, and front 75% of the corner side yard façade. 1.1 Retain and preserve protected facades. 1.2 Do not change the character, appearance, configuration, or materials of protected façades, except to restore buildings to their original appearance. 1.3 Do not add conjectural architectural features. 1.4 Work to non-protected facades must be appropriate. For the most part, the proposed project retains and repairs the protected façade, with the exception of the front-facing skylight and replacement of the sliding glass door at the front half of the north elevation with a window. However, the full- height two-light fixed window closely approximates the configuration, visual weight, and transparency of a sliding glass door. Work on non-protected façades appears appropriate. 3.6 OUTDOOR LIGHTING 3.6.1 Outdoor lighting must be compatible with the historic character of the building and neighborhood in design, material, and scale. The proposed replacement sconces appear compatible. 4.1 EXTERIOR WALLS 4.1.1 Retain original exterior materials, including siding and trim. 4.1.2 Repair rather than replacing original exterior materials. 4.1.3 When replacement of historic original exterior material …

If you are making changes to a contributing property or constructing a new building within a National Register historic district, consider the standards below as advisory guidelines: 1. Use a property for its historic purpose or place it in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment. 2. Retain and preserve the historic character or a property shall be retained and preserved. Avoid the removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property. 3. Recognize each property as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken. 4. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved. 5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a historic property shall be …
