HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS B.5 - 1 JANUARY 27, 2020 C14H-1974-0023 FRENCH LEGATION 802 SAN MARCOS STREET PROPOSAL This is a heritage grant proposal to convert the carriage house to a visitor’s center and office space, construct an addition to the carriage house, and replace the existing wood shake roof with composition shingles. The carriage house is not a historic structure. The plans for this site also include the construction of a new stone retaining wall. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant proposes to rehabilitate the first floor of the carriage house for use as a business operations center, including repairs to the slab, woodwork, and windows, and prepare the second floor as office space, build an addition to the carriage house, install a new entrance facing San Marcos Street, and replacing the existing wood shake roof with composition shingles. The applicant further proposes the construction of a new stone retaining wall, and the installation of signage both at the street and on the site. The signage will follow uniform signage for all Texas Historical Commission-administered sites. B.5 - 2 B.5 - 3 Steve, I am the Director of Historic Sites Operations that has been overseeing the Legation since its transfer to the Historical Commission – we have not yet met in person, but I hope we may do so soon. We do not yet have all of the text for the signs, but I can share what we know at this point. We will certainly have: • Two (2) medium-sized main identification signs, one at each of the two main entrances to the site (San Marcos Street and Embassy Drive), which will have the site name, web address, THC logo and site phone number similar to the example shown on page 27 of the manual. • One vehicular sign located in the site parking lot at the corner of 9th St. and Embassy Dr. similar to the example shown on page 41 of the manual, which will indicate the lot is for Legation parking only and the site’s general hours. • Two (2) small pedestrian signs OR plaques at the entrances to indicate the site hours Beyond this, we may have some additional smaller wayfinding signs within the site to direct visitors to the visitor center and historic Legation building – because we would like to keep them to a minimum necessary for good wayfinding, we’re …

The City of Austin requests qualifications from professional visual artists, or artist teams, who live and work in Williamson, Travis, Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Burnet and Blanco counties. The total budget available for this project is $44,000. The call opened on July 18, 2017. Submission deadline is 5:00 pm on Thursday, September 14, 2017 and was extended to October 19, 2017. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Located in District 2 in south east Austin, Dove Springs Recreation Center offers Youth, Adult and Senior Programs as well as Sports Leagues and Special Events. The Parks and Recreation Department is expanding the existing building to provide a commercial grade kitchen and add flexible spaces to meet the desires for new and expanded programming from the $1.75M in funding allocated in the 2012 GO Bond for a renovation and expansion of the Recreation Center. The building expansion will be integrated with improvements to the park and play-scape, which opened in spring 2015. Construction on the expansion is scheduled to begin in October 2017 and continue through October 2018. The facility will be closed to the public during construction. ARTWORK GOALS AIPP Project is to select an artist/artist team who will design artwork that: Create an iconic artwork that heightens awareness of the facility; Demonstrate an interest in sustainable materials and builds upon the vision of the on-site wildlife habitat; Integrate educational elements that promote an investigation of the natural environment (educational elements could be physically or visually interactive); Consider the diverse community served by the center and the surrounding neighborhood; Enriches or adds to the depth/breadth of the City of Austin’s public art collection BUDGET The AIPP 2% for this project is generated from the 2012 GO Bond for a renovation and expansion of the Recreation Center. The total award for an artist contract is $44,000, inclusive of design, fabrication and installation, including engineering and permitting fees, travel and shipping expenses, insurance and other project-related costs.
