5.7 - 1500 E 12th St - Preservation Austin letter original pdf

Page 1 of 1 page

August 2, 2024 RE: 1500 East 12th Street Dear Chair Heimsath, Vice Chair Witt Featherston, and Members of the Historic Landmark Commission, Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. We write to you today in support of designating 1500 East 12th Street as a City of Austin Historic Landmark for its Architecture, Historic Association, and Community Value. Our support for this case is in alignment with our Underrepresented Heritage Advocacy Priority, which seeks to identify and designate historic sites associated with African Americans, Mexican Americans, Native Americans, the LGBTQIA community, and women. Built between 1889 and 1911, the store at 1500 E. 12th St. traces the diverse heritage of East Austin. The building’s early history reflects the German heritage of Austin and Central Texas – initially constructed by grocer and politician Christian J. Willhem, it was later acquired by Dessau merchants Ernest and Louisa Eisenbeiser, who operated a produce and dry goods store, a saloon, and a restaurant there. In 1950, Black businessman Buford Johnson purchased the building, transforming it into a community hub for East Austin’s African American population during the Jim Crow era. By the mid-1950s, the building housed the Fifteen Hundred Beauty and Barber Shops, as well as Club Fifteen Hundred, a bar and music venue. It later became the home of the Gamma Eta Alpha chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, the oldest fraternity in America to admit Black members. The building is prominently situated at the corner of E. 12th and Comal Streets, directly across from the I.Q. Hurdle and Southgate-Lewis Houses – both landmarks of Austin’s Black heritage – reflecting the greater importance of this intersection to the story of Black East Austin. Preservation Austin wholeheartedly supports the designation of 1500 E. 12th St. as a City of Austin Historic Landmark. We thank you for your consideration of this case and for your service to the City of Austin. Sincerely, Melissa Barry, President

August 6, 2024 Historic Landmark Commission City of Austin 301 W. 2nd Street Austin, TX 78701 Engineer’s Letter of Support for Demolition Permit 1500 E. 12th St. – #2024-064274 PR Dear Historic Landmark Commissioners, As the Professional Engineer, we continue to object to the staff recommendation to initiate Historic Zoning or otherwise require a Documentation Package before releasing the demolition permit. As a Professional Engineer (P.E.) with over 12 years of experience in civil engineering in Austin, I have developed extensive expertise in urban redevelopment, infrastructure planning, walkability improvements, etc. I also want to share that not only am I a Professional Engineer who takes his duties seriously, I’m an Austin resident, born here in the 1980s. Based on the previous commissions meeting repeated statements, I heard no concerns related to public safety or most importantly based on the history of structure. The staff’s short presentation was not the focus of the commission. I heard only denial of any safety issues, emotionally based opinions, and attacks on the landowner. This appeared to be based on a single speaker, who focused solely on concerns about the landowner. It was evident to me as a resident, the Historic Landmark Commission aims to block any development of the owner’s property leaving the City of Austin citizens to forever deal with the hazard at this intersection. After performing additional research and listening to at the last hearing, we even more strongly advise that the building presents too many safety hazards to remain. Furthermore, it is undeniable that far more public benefits would be gained by enabling demolition of this structure to advance without delay. Here are facts to further support this recommendation: 1. As the building sits today, presents an unsafe situation. Various Civil Engineering Infrastructure items built around the structure are non-compliant with modern safety driven setbacks. a. We reached out to Austin Energy, which stated the following: “… it does not meet our current standard clearances. We would not permit a new building to be built in that same location. A new building would have to be set back further from our facilities.” That is a direct quote from an email from Austin Energy’s Power System Managing Engineer. b. The structure’s location related to public right-of-way proves compliant sidewalks and sight distance unfeasible, endangering the safety, health and welfare of the members of the public amongst other conflicts. c. These setbacks exist …

August 6, 2024 Historic Landmark Commission City of Austin 301 W. 2nd Street Austin, TX 78701 RE: PR-2024-064274 – 1500 E 12th St Dear Historic Landmark Commissioners, We are writing in response to a letter dated July 2, 2024 to the Commission from Nate Jones, President of the Organization of Central East Austin Neighborhoods (OCEAN). This letter pertained to the above-named case regarding the property at 1500 E 12th Street, which falls within the bounds of the Davis-Thompson Neighborhood Association (DTNA). DTNA does not support OCEAN’s viewpoint that the property merits historic preservation, and we do not oppose the owner’s request for demolition. In November 2023, DTNA expressed to OCEAN in a meeting that we were not opposed to demolition of this building. OCEAN did not solicit our input prior to drafting their July letter, and we were given only one day to respond to their draft; they ignored our initial feedback. This one instance is indicative of a broader pattern: OCEAN does not effectively represent the opinions or viewpoints of the neighborhoods they purportedly represent. Equitable feedback is not regularly requested from constituent neighborhood associations, and so OCEAN’s “official” viewpoints do not accurately represent those of all East Austin neighborhoods. Regarding the specifics of OCEAN’s letter, we disagree that the existing building has architectural merit, which is defined as exhibiting high quality workmanship or being a quality example of a specific architectural style. Neither of these qualities is presented in the existing structure. The building was in a dilapidated state before the current owner acquired it, and it has remained vacant for decades. One way to honor cultural heritage is to work with the developer of an older property to encourage preference or provide incentives for a culturally sensitive development that engages the East Austin community. Given that the cost to restore the building would be a significant undertaking, we believe such money would be better spent on culturally sensitive design or encouragement of minority business use in a new building. Further, the building is also situated on the site in a way that does not meet the criteria of Austin’s Great Streets Initiative. East 12th Street traffic has increased significantly over the years and will continue to increase as East Austin develops, but the existing building does not allow for safe setbacks for pedestrian use: the building appears to be less than 6 feet from the curb on …

Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Dear Sam, I'm reaching out regarding the Notice of Public Hearing National Register Historic District for review case #HR 24-072700 taking place tomorrow. My husband and I live in the house directly next door, 705 E. Monroe. While neutral about the proposed ADU, we observe that a critical piece of information is missing: a site plan which reflects the proposed ADU and its relationship/spacing to the existing home on the property and surrounding property lines and the street. We have standard concerns about potential negative impacts to surrounding homes. In particular, we note that the land being proposed for the ADU slants downhill to the northwest. Our property / home sits directly downhill, so we are concerned about drainage, as well as safe asbestos management (the architecture description notes the likelihood of asbestos in the 2-story structure). We appreciate the opportunity to provide this feedback, and your service to our community! If you have any questions or guidance, please let me know. Kind regards, Ann Saxton Darcy 705 E.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20240807-002 Second by: Date: August 7th, 2024 Subject: Austin/ Travis County Food Plan Motion by: Mariana Krueger WHEREAS, in 2021, the Austin City Council passed resolution NO. 20210610-039, which directed the City Manager to begin a food planning process that would center and uplift the voices of those most impacted by our current food system; after three years, the work of thousands of community members, alongside that of City and County departments, and tens of local nonprofits, has culminated in the Austin/ Travis County Food Plan, the first-ever visionary policy document of its kind here in Central Texas, and one of just a dozen of its kind nationwide; WHEREAS, as part of this planning process, the Office of Sustainability has identified that 16.8 acres of farmland are lost in Travis County every day, only 0.06% of the food consumed in Travis County is locally produced, and 14.4% of people in Travis County experience food insecurity, yet 1.24 million pounds of food are wasted every day in Austin; AND WHEREAS, in 2021, the Austin Climate Equity Plan established several goals related to sustainable food production, including protecting 500,000 acres of farmland from development in the Central Texas five-county region, and incorporating all City-owned land in a management plan that results in neutral or negative emissions; AND WHEREAS, the Austin Climate Equity Plan specifically pledged that the City of Austin would reach net-zero community-wide greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, with a strong emphasis on cutting emissions by 2030, and the Office of Sustainability has concluded that 21% of all greenhouse gas emissions created by our community are food-related; AND WHEREAS, Winter Storm Uri underscored the fragility of our food system in the wake of climate change, and the need to incorporate local food hubs, bolstered by urban agriculture efforts such as community gardens and food forests, as part of a climate resilience strategy; AND WHEREAS, in 2013, the Austin City Council recognized the importance of urban agriculture in supporting the City’s Climate and Zero Waste initiatives by adopting the Urban Farms Ordinance; AND WHEREAS, while the Austin City Council has repeatedly acknowledged the interconnectedness of our food system to our broader climate and equity goals, many initiatives have gone unfunded or under-funded, including Nourish Austin (a proposal from multiple city departments in 2021 to develop publicly-owned food hubs), and our Community Gardens Division (Table 1). 1 of 2 AND …
