July 14, 2020 Ms. Emily Reed, Chair and Historic Landmark Commissioners City of Austin Landmark Commission Historic Preservation Office Planning and Zoning Dept. P.O. Box 1088, Austin, Texas 78767 Dear Ms. Reed and Commissioners, Re: Rogers-Washington-Holy Cross District Preservation Application Please accept this letter of support for the Roger-Washington-Holy Cross Neighborhood Association (RWHC) Historic District Designation Application. As you may know the Austin History Center, Austin Public Library has long been a supporter of preserving communities and history, particularly in the East Austin sector of the City of Austin. The Rogers-Washington-Holy Cross neighborhood was identified in the East Austin Historic Resources Survey (2016) as a potential local historic district, eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The history of the neighborhood tells a rich story of the development of East Austin in the Post-War and early years of the civil rights movement. Initially developed for the African American community veterans returning from serving their country in World War II, the addition of land owned by local Black physician, Dr. M. J. Washington, created space for custom designed homes for luminary figures within the community. It became home to Huston-Tillotson President, John Q. Taylor King, Oscar L. Thompson, the first African American graduate of the University of Texas at Austin and HT professor, Austin Public Library branch namesake Willie Mae Kirk; Principal of Kealing Jr. High School and 75th President of the Colored Teachers State Association, T.C. Calhoun; businesswoman Della Phillips, and other noted professionals. The architecture of the homes speaks to the time period; houses vary in style from John Chase’s two mid-century modern designs to handsome split-level and one-story ranch homes. Many of the current residents have lived in the neighborhood all their lives, bringing a pride of continuous ownership and history that is being lost in Austin. Austin is quickly losing much of the fabric that encases the history of the city. East Austin has been especially hard hit, losing historically and culturally significant places. It is important to recognize and preserve spaces like the Rogers-Washington-Holy Cross neighborhood, in order to exhibit a physical manifestation of our full American history, not just read a plaque about it. Again, I hope you will support the Rogers-Washington-Holy Cross neighborhood’s request which clearly meets the designation criteria established by code. I agree that its history is worth saving, and I support their efforts. Sincerely, kYmberly Keeton kYmberly Keeton, M.L.S., C.A. …
Emily Reed, Chair City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission Re: Certificate of Appropriateness for Bartholomew-Robinson building at 1415 Lavaca Street Dear Chair, Preservation Austin respectfully requests that the Historic Landmark Commission deny the Certificate of Appropriateness for the Bartholomew-Robinson building at 1415 Lavaca Street. The owner’s Certificate of Appropriateness application shows the loss of all but the building’s exterior walls and construction of a tower within its historic footprint. We feel strongly that the project as presented does not meet the requirements of the City Code or the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards as they apply to this City of Austin Landmark property. Section 25-11-243 of the City Code states that when taking action on a Certificate of Appropriateness the Historic Landmark Commission, “shall consider the United States Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, 36 Code of Federal Regulations Section 67.7(b).” The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards (SOI Standards) state the following: 2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. 10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. “The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring & Reconstructing Historic Buildings” provides clarifying recommendations for applying the SOI Standards including constructing new additions that, (1) result in the least possible loss of historic materials; (2) are subordinate to the historic building; (3) are set back from the wall plane of the historic building; (4) are inconspicuous when viewed from surrounding streets; (5) are limited to one additional story in height; (6) appear as a separate building; (7) and do not negatively affect the building. The design presented to the HLC does not meet any of those clarifying guidelines. We appreciate that the needs of property owners change over time and understand that large towers will be constructed …

Good Morning Steve and Cara, As you should know, GNDC has an affordable senior housing project in the works for the Lopez Property. We are at the point where the site plan can be approved, however, because the property has historic zoning, the site development permit cannot be issued until your office provides a certificate of appropriateness. We have until mid-August to get that done, but would love to have it sooner. We have made great efforts in the design process to maintain the structural and historic integrity of the Routon-Alvarez-Lopez House; stepping the tower away from the house (despite the incredible site constraints we face), removed balconies, reduced the size and minimized the visual impact of the hallway connecting the tower with the house. I joke with people that we should have started with the idea of of relocating to house to a site somewhere else and then, when that got shot down, moved to a design where we built over top of the house, and then, after that got shot down, proposed our initial design and it would have been hailed as wonderful. Instead, we tried to design as sensitively as possible from the start while being responsible to our mission of providing as much affordable housing as possible on a site with zoning and development entitlements that call for dense and tall buildings and prohibit the development of single-family structures. As you know, GNDC includes historic preservation as part of our mission, so the idea of demolition or relocation is something we would turn to only as a last resort. We're going through a Section 106 review and the Texas Historical Commission reviewed our initial designs (which were sent to you as early as January and again in March) and they made recommendations for changes which we then incorporated into the designs that I've attached. On May 27th, Lydia Woods-Boone,Program Coordinator for the Federal and State Review Program responded to the revised design as follows: Thank you for taking the time to change the design in order to more appropriately work with the historic structure. This design is greatly improved and seems to address all of our concerns. Please have the applicant resubmit the project with these designs through our eTRAC system so they can be formally reviewed under the Section 106 process. If there are any additional questions just let me know. Mr. Hatch, Thanks, Lydia …
H ISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS B.4 - 1 JU LY 27, 2020 C14H-2011-0002 ROU TON-ALVAREZ-LOPEZ HOUSE 809 E. 9TH STREET Construct a mid-rise residential tower adjacent to the house. PR OPOSAL PR OJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant proposes the construction of a mid-rise residential tower to provide affordable housing for seniors at the rear of the historic house. The proposed residential tower will be 9 stories (just over 112 feet) tall, with a slanted roof. The building will have stucco, glazed brick, and siding as its principal materials. There will be 6’-8” between the back wall of the house and the closest wall of the proposed building. The house will be used as a community room for the proposed new affordable housing project. STA NDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate projects on historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1) A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. Evaluation: This project does not really affect the physical structure or the use of the existing house. It had a residential use historically, and is now being proposed as a community room for the adjacent residential project. 2) The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. Evaluation: The house will not be affected by the construction of the adjacent building. No work is proposed for the historic house. The new building is over 6 feet from the back of the historic house; there will be an effect on the spatial relationships which currently exist on this property, but the general context of the neighborhood has changed dramatically over the past few years with the construction of adjacent apartment buildings. 3) Each property will be recognized 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 elements from other historic properties, will not be undertaken. Evaluation: No work is proposed for the historic house. 4) Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved. Evaluation: N/A 5) Distinctive materials, features, …
Hello Steve & Elizabeth, We received a No Adverse Effects determination from the Texas Historical Commission on Wednesday. See below.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS B.6 - 1 JULY 27, 2020 THE UMLAUF 506 BARTON BOULEVARD GF-2020-098312 PROPOSAL This application is pursuant to a Heritage Grant application to replace the roof in-kind, repoint brick, and repair roof framing in a rear area. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The project has three parts: 1) Replace the existing roof with 3-tab asphalt shingles and standing-seam metal. This is an in-kind replacement. 2) Repoint the brick cladding with hydraulic cement where cracks evidence a foundation shift. The mortar will not match existing; the applicant states that cement must be used to prevent water infiltration. 3) Close underpinning with chopped limestone to prevent animal entry; work will match existing. 4) Reframe the rear (north) laundry area: replace rotted roof joists, tongue and groove decking, and fascia. No changes will be made to exterior walls. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate projects on historic landmarks and to any other properties receiving Hotel Occupancy Tax funding through a Heritage Grant. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 6) Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. The roof and pointing are in-kind work that will match existing materials. The project meets this standard. 7) Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used. Hydraulic cement will be used for repointing. The applicant is consulting with historic preservation professionals at the City’s Parks and Recreation Department to ensure that treatments will not damage historic materials, and the department will have a representative on-site during the repairs. The project meets this standard. The project meets this standard. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS Not reviewed. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the project, except for the mortar; authorize staff to review and administratively approve the mortar type.
Hyde Park Topper Approval Minutes from November 26, 2012 Staff report HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION NOVEMBER 26, 2012 CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS LHD-2012-0034 Sign Toppers Hyde Park Local Historic District PROPOSAL Fabricate and install five "sign toppers" identifying the Hyde Park Local Historic District. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Proposal calls for the fabrication and installation of signs identifying the Hyde Park Local Historic District. The signs will be funded by the Hyde Park Neighborhood Association (HPNA) and will be installed by the City's Transportation Department on top of existing street signs at the following intersections: Southeast corner of W. 40th Street and Avenue B with the sign parallel to Avenue B. Northeast corner of e. 44th Street and Avenue G with the sign parallel to Avenue G.

The HPNA has requested that the design include the City of Austin seal, name of the district, the date Hyde Park neighborhood was established, and the date the Local Historic District was established. The intent is for the approved design to become the standard template for signage in all City of Austin local historic districts, and that sign toppers only be allowed for Local Historic Districts. Funding for additional signs in the Hyde Park Local Historic District and in other districts is not currently available. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Hyde Park Local Historic District Goals and Design Standards do not specifically provide guidance for this type of street sign, however the signs as proposed do not adversely impact the historic character or integrity of the district or streetscape. Additionally, by identifying the historic district, they provide important recognition of the efforts of residents to establish the LHD, as well as identify the zoning classification for residents and visitors. Historic Preservation Office staff met with representatives of the Harthan Street Local Historic District and Castle Hill Local Historic District, as well as residents from neighborhoods interested in pursuing LHD zoning, to obtain feedback on the proposed design. Most people expressed the opinion that including dates for both the establishment …
