Parks and Recreation Board Recommendation Recommendation Number: 20210126 B3: Recommended Changes to the Naming and Renaming Ordinance 20160324-021 WHEREAS, the current process and timeline for naming or renaming of a park or park facility has caused confusion among applicants and community members interested in providing feedback on a proposed name or name change; and WHEREAS, the current naming/renaming ordinance could greatly benefit in clarity of language, transparency, and process for both Parks and Recreation Department staff and Austin residents; and WHEREAS, the current naming and renaming process has not previously considered equal representation across the city by considering racial, ethnic, gender, and economic disparities in the naming or renaming of a park, park facility, or park feature; and WHEREAS, naming and renaming parks and park facilities after individuals has been a cost and staffing burden to the Parks and Recreation Department; and WHEREAS, parks and park facilities named after geographical or historical areas are long-term and can aid in directional knowledge of the city; and WHEREAS, the cost associated with renaming a park, park facility, or park feature should be recovered from the applicants to relieve that cost from the Parks and Recreation Department; and WHEREAS, community engagement during a proposed naming or renaming should be conducted to accommodate wide public participation and be easy for staff to facilitate. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Parks and Recreation Board encourages the Austin City Council to incorporate the recommended changes to the Ordinance 20160324-021 in order to make the naming and renaming process more transparent, more efficient, more equitable, and less costly for the Parks and Recreation Department.

B.3 - 1 PROPOSAL HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JANUARY 25, 2021 HR-2020-191841 Hyde Park Historic District 3805 AVENUE H Demolish noncontributing garage and construct new ADU and addition to house. Modify existing siding. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish noncontributing garage. 2) Modify siding on existing residence. Proposed changes include removal of mineral surfaced roll roofing from gable end above frieze board and replacement with horizontal siding. 3) Construct an addition at the rear of the house. The proposed addition includes infill and replacement of three windows. It will be one story, clad in horizontal siding. Fenestration includes horizontal fixed windows, square fixed windows, and a skylight. The addition opens onto a rear covered terrace. 4) Construct a new ADU. The proposed ADU is 2 stories in height with a gabled metal roof. It is clad in vertical wood siding. Fenestration includes fixed and 1:1 sash windows and bifold garage doors. ARCHITECTURE STANDARDS FOR REVIEW One-story brick bungalow with partial-width porch, exposed rafter tails, decorative brackets, 1:1 wood windows, and gabled roof clad in asphalt shingles. The following Hyde Park Historic District design standards apply to the proposed project: 1.2. Retention of Historic Style: Respect the historic style of existing structures and retain their historic features, including character-defining elements and building scale. The proposed project does not significantly alter character-defining features. 1.3. Avoidance of False Historicism: Respect each contributing structure as an example of the architecture of its time. Do not make alterations that have no historic basis. Do not give an existing contributing structure a “historic” appearance it never had. The proposed project includes horizontal siding at the gable end, which matches surrounding bungalows but is not appropriate for a masonry building. 3.1. Front of House: Repair damaged or deteriorated exterior wall materials where reasonably possible. If replacement of exterior wall materials is necessary, choose a material identical in size, profile, and appearance as the historic material. The proposed gable-end cladding is likely not compatible with the building’s historic cladding. Selective demolition may reveal the original cladding beneath the asphalt composite. 3.2. Doors and Doorways: Do not enlarge, alter, or relocate single doorways on the façade of the house. Retain and repair an original entry door. In cases where replacement of an original entry door is required, or where the house does not have the original door, choose a replacement door that is compatible in terms …

C.1 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JANUARY 25, 2021 HR-2020-178762 1406 WEST 29TH STREET PROPOSAL OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT Construct an addition to the rear of a contributing building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Enclose second-floor window at main façade. 2) Partially demolish rear of residence and construct two-story addition. The proposed addition’s compound roofline is visible above the ridgeline of the existing building. It is clad in horizontal siding to match the existing building, and it features irregular fenestration throughout. Its roof is clad in asphalt shingles. The proposed addition will partially integrate an existing rear addition. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Two-story house with second-floor balcony and side-gabled roof, clad in horizontal siding. 1:1 windows with decorative wood shutters at main façade; fenestration varied throughout remainder of house. The house at 1406 W. 29th Street was constructed around 1936 by J. A. Boyles. Its first owners were John and Pauline Singleton. John Singleton was a director at the Texas Board of Control. After the Singletons moved, the home was occupied by salesman Thomas McFarlin and his wife, Grace. By 1944, accountant John T. Davis and salon owner Mitzi Davis lived in the home, selling by 1947 to Mrs. J. M. Hooper; Hooper in turn sold the home to the Nelson family, a painter and bookkeeper. By 1952, 1406 W. 29th was home to the Carruth family. Irby B. Carruth, a former Waco superintendent, had moved to Austin in 1950 to take on the role of Austin’s school superintendent. After the Carruths’ departure, psychiatrist Albert D. Pattillo and his wife Charlotte occupied the house for several years.

STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate new construction projects in National Register historic districts. Applicable standards include: 2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. The proposed project removes some historic fabric at the west façade to accommodate the expanded front porch. 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. The proposed new work at the south elevation is differentiated by its placement and materials. It is minimally visible from the street. The proposed porch is less differentiated and more visible than the added side porch and deck. While the proposed project would modify the character-defining front porch, the new work’s scale, size, and details are compatible with the existing building. 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 …

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 …

We do NOT oppose this screen porch addition/remodel. Although the front roof line will be slightly changed, it is not significant and will not change the style and will keep the same “look” as the current house. (By way of information, our Neighborhood Association only votes to “oppose” or “not oppose;” we do not “support.”) Bill Woods Bryker Woods Neighborhood Association Historic Review Committee Bill Woods, Historic Review Committee, Bryker Woods Neighborhood Association Living on Earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun.
