Page 1 of 1 Engineer’s Report SUBJECT: Foundation performance and suitability for reuse 2505 Park View Drive, Austin, Texas 78757 JOB NUMBER: DATE OF SITE VISIT: 20167 October 23, 2020 At his request, I met with builder Dominique Levesque on site to review the current performance of the foundation and to offer an opinion about its suitability for reuse in a renovation. This report is a summary of our discussion and my observations. Built in the 1950’s, the house is a one-story ranch style with a slab-on-ground foundation and wood-framed superstructure clad with brick veneer and siding. Additions were made at the rear, reportedly in 1963 and 1964. Signs of foundation movement are extensive and widespread: sticking doors and cracks in gyp and brick walls and exposed concrete floors. The floor slab is out-of-level with pronounced edge droop on the order of three inches. I have experience with several houses in the surrounding few blocks where the soil generally consists of a few feet of highly expansive clay over the Austin chalk. The distress I observed on this house is consistent with my observations on the nearby houses built in that era. Regarding the prognosis for foundation repair, foundation leveling would likely not yield lasting improvements to performance because I believe the slab and grade beams likely lack sufficient size and reinforcement. My belief is based on my observations here and on my experience with similarly constructed foundations on similar soil. Perimeter drainage is poor at the rear and adverse at the front, and poor drainage is likely contributing to the observed foundation movement. The top of slab is too low relative to surrounding grade and neighboring lots to correct surface drainage without extensive excavation to lower grade, which may jeopardize the surrounding trees. Given its poor performance and inadequate drainage with no good options for improving either, I believe this foundation has reached the end of its useful life. The foundation deformation has caused enough superstructure distress to make the current house unlivable. Any investment built on this foundation will suffer the same fate.

Page 1 of 2 Engineer’s Report SUBJECT: Foundation performance and suitability for reuse 2507 Park View Drive, Austin, Texas 78757 JOB NUMBER: DATE OF SITE VISIT: 20167 October 23, 2020 At his request, I met with owner and builder Dominique Levesque on site to review the current performance of the foundation and to offer an opinion about its suitability for reuse in a renovation. This report is a summary of our discussion and my observations. Built in the 1950’s, the house is a one-story ranch style with a slab-on-ground foundation and wood-framed superstructure clad with siding and stone veneer wainscotting. The owner provided a structural inspection report from 2009 that documented three inches of elevation difference between the center and corners of the house. That report concluded that the foundation deflections and damage were beyond allowable tolerances and recommended piers to correct some of the deflection. Other paperwork showed that piers were installed and the leveling was attempted. During my site visit, I observed signs of ongoing foundation movement such as cracks in interior gyp walls and a large gap in the exterior wall at the rear living room, which aligns with a significant crack in the foundation slab visible under the west exterior wall. The owner reported several rounds of patching gyp cracks and adjusting stuck doors throughout the house. Current floor deflection appeared similar to those shown in the 2009 report. The cracks in the exterior wall have been filled with foam in an attempt to reduce infiltration of air, water and insects, and the doors have been adjusted to insure egress. These are examples of the effects of this foundation deflection that will require more and more maintenance each year to meet minimum standards for livability and safety. Additionally, perimeter drainage is poor, and water reportedly enters the garage during heavy downpours. The poor drainage is likely contributing to the observed foundation movement. The top of slab is too low relative to surrounding grade to correct surface drainage without extensive excavation to lower grade, which may jeopardize the surrounding trees. Duffy Engineering, Inc. | 6207 Bee Caves Road #210 | Austin, Texas 78746 | phone: (512) 402-0074 | Texas Firm Registration No. F-8637 The foundation deflection and cyclical movement that requires repeated patching of cracks and adjustment of doors indicates that the foundation repairs in 2009 were not effective.

I'm a resident of Fairview Park and am also a volunteer for the SRCC's Preservation Committee. I am speaking for myself, however. After the last meeting, I understood that the owners were very considerate of their impact on what's possibly the most significant street in our National Register District. I do appreciate the concessions they are willing to make, such as not painting the original stone, but I am still concerned about damaging the original facade by installing French doors where there are now windows. I saw some "revised" plans in the backup material but did not see that change. If that HAS changed, then disregard my comment. Unfortunately, changing to the French Doors would remove the home from contributing status.

In 2007, the house across the street‐ 1305 W. 22nd St‐ received historic landmark designation as the Goff‐Radkey House. The attachment is the City Council’s “Zoning Change Information Sheet” from the meeting at which landmark status was approved. We think this supplemental information is important and relevant because the staff recommendation on 1208 appears to be based largely on its association with the late Professor Oliver Radkey. We believe that the fact that a neighboring property associated with him has already been granted historic landmark status and named the “Goff‐Radkey House” should be considered by the Commission.

Carter, FAIA Square One Consultants 15 November 2020 Item D.9 HDP‐2020‐0410 Demolition of 815 W. 11th St. I am one of the owners of the property to the west of this house (817 W. 11th St) where I have had my architectural office since 1985. I am opposed to the demolition of the approximately 100 year old home at 815 W. 11th St. The immediate block is mostly businesses that have successfully adapted the sites to accommodate their office use, while retaining the historic structures and feel of the neighborhood. The sole exception on our block, even at three stories, is an unwelcome intrusion on the rhythm, scale, articulations that make up the feel of the street. Unlike 815, at least the 1980s building is towards the end of the block and allows the historic vista to remain looking south or east. I sympathize with the potential buyers, however, I would ask for a postponement to allow us to work with the applicant to come up with compromise that is acceptable to the applicant, the city and the immediate neighbors on the alley. The current development code requirements provide no leeway or incentives to keep the existing structure when compared to other requirements of the code. Our design firm has looked at several development options that provide for the +/‐ 4500 sf development that a vacant lot would allow under the current entitlements. However, options would require some accommodation for parking, impervious cover or protected trees. The current code prioritizes these issues over the …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION NOVEMBER 16, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0419 1117 LINDEN STREET D.10 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1940 house. ARCHITECTURE One-story, roughly rectangular-plan stone-veneered frame house with Tudor Revival stylistic influences, including the “cat-slide” roof; partial-width inset porch; brick surrounds for all windows and the attic vent; variety of fenestration patterns. RESEARCH The house was built around 1940 by Marvin W. Pehl Sr. and his wife, Nobie, who lived here until around 1943. Marion W. Pehl was listed as a clerk at the Gugenheim-Goldsmith Company in the city directories, and a shipping clerk at a wholesale produce company, according to the 1940 U.S. Census. They had lived at 1802 Riverview Street prior to building this house. Marvin William Pehl Sr. died 1990; Nobie Pehl died in 1995. They are buried in Tyler, Texas. After a short period of tenancy by a renter in the mid-1940s, the house was purchased by Roy H. and Lillie Mae Gartman, who lived here until around 1954. Roy Gartman was a carpenter for Brown and Root, general building contractors; from this house, they moved to 1901 Bluebonnet Lane in South Austin. From 1954 through the end of the 1950s, the house was rented, then purchased by Charles F. and June E. Beadle. Charles F. Beadle was a native of Arkansas, who served in the U.S. Army during World War II, and was a city firefighter while living here. STAFF COMMENTS The house is beyond the bounds of any City survey to date. The applicant has information from the previous owner of the house that the stone and brick work that makes this house so distinctive was applied in a ca. 1979 remodel of the house, not within the historic period. Staff has evaluated this house for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that the house may meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: a. Architecture. The house is a minimal traditional house with aspects of Tudor Revival design and ornamental brick surrounds for the windows and attic vent, indicating a high degree of artistry in construction and architectural significance. However, it has been determined that the stone and brick work were not part of the original, historic architecture or character of the house. b. Historical association. The house was the home of several middle-class families over time, including a shipping clerk for a wholesale …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION BRIEFING NOVEMBER 16, 2020 Historic preservation is a tool to steward change. Historic preservation is a tool to steward change. Design standards provide a clear, objective way to evaluate proposed changes. WHY HISTORIC DESIGN STANDARDS? 1. 2. Increase equity by reducing resources required for the historic district application. Increase predictability for property owners in potential districts. 3. Take a common-sense approach to design standards by recognizing underlying principles. WHY HISTORIC DESIGN STANDARDS? 4. Provide clearer standards for historic landmark owners and National Register district property owners. 5. Provide an educational tool for all historic property owners. 6. Provide consistent standards for project review by commissioners and staff. 7. Follow good practices in preservation. SECRETARY’S STANDARDS FOR REHABILITATION 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 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. 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. 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. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved. 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. 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. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and …

Austin Integrated Water Resource Planning Community Task Force Review and Recommendation November 13, 2020 Health and Environment Commission Meeting Date: Council Meeting Date: Department: Client: December 10, 2020 Austin Water Mark Jordan, Kevin Critendon COA Strategic Direction: SUBJECT Recommend approval of an ordinance amending City Code Chapter 6-4 (Water Conservation) and City Code Section 15-9-241 (Utility Regulations) related to commercial and industrial cooling tower water efficiency performance standards, operations, registration, inspection and administrative requirements and penalties. Funding for the administration of these code changes is included in Austin Water’s FY 2020-2021 Approved Operating Budget AMOUNT AND SOURCE OF FUNDING N/A August 16, 2012, Ord. 20120816-004; May 5, 2016, Ord. 20160505-003 Kevin Critendon, 512-972-0191; Mark Jordan, 512-974-3901; November 17, 2020 - To be reviewed and Resource Management Commission November 17, 2020 – To be reviewed by Water and Wastewater Commission N/A Purchasing Language: Prior Council Action: For More Information: Boards and Commission Action: MBE/WBE: The 2018 Austin Integrated Water Resources Plan – Water Forward – recommended the adoption of ordinances that would increase water use efficiency by the commercial, industrial and institutional (CII) water use sectors, specifically including cooling towers. The proposed ordinance language would amend Chapter 6-4 (Water Conservation) by imposing administrative penalties of up to $500 for failure to submit required cooling tower registration and annual inspection reports to ensure towers are meeting all water efficiency standards and equipment requirements. Assessment of administrative penalties for this program would be consistent with the current assessment of penalties under the Commercial Irrigation System Evaluation and Commercial Car Wash Certification programs. The proposed ordinance also includes an offense for submitting a false report or tampering with readout and reporting devices. The proposed ordinance would also amend the inspection report requirements to include whether the tower is meeting additional water efficiency standards for drift eliminators and the addition of biocides to cooling tower recirculating water to prevent algae growth, thereby increasing water efficiency as well as protecting public health by preventing airborne bacteria. These measures are consistent with 1126.1 and E 403.5.2, respectively, of the 2015 Uniform Mechanical Code, International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAMPO), and Standard 189.1, International Green Construction Code, of the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). Finally, the proposed ordinance would amend City Code Section15-9-241 (Utility Regulations) by providing that those who do not submit required registration and inspection reports would be ineligible …

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 6-4 TO THE CITY CODE RELATING TO WATER CONSERVATION, REGULATION OF COOLING TOWERS, PUBLIC HEALTH MEASURES, AND THE ADDING OF NEW OFFENSES THAT MAY BE SUBJECT TO ASSESSMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTIES; OR CIVIL AND CRIMINAL PENALTIES; AND AMENDING SECTION 15-9-241 RELATING TO EVAPORATIVE LOSS CREDIT ON WASTEWATER CHARGES FOR COOLING TOWERS. 10 BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: 11 PART 1. FINDINGS. 12 The City Council finds that: 1. Given the potential for severe and frequent drought conditions in Central Texas, it is essential that new water use policies to conserve water continue to be developed. 2. Water conservation efforts, including policies for responsible water conservation and regulations for cooling towers, help maximize limited resources as population grows while ensuring supply for critical public health and safety needs including adequate supplies necessary for emergency fire fighting, fire suppression, and natural disaster or other emergency management or disaster response. 3. As water is essential to public health and sanitation and the City’s water supply is the sole or primary water supply for over a million people, water conservation and drought condition measures that help assure the maintenance of a sufficient City water supply for the City’s customers are necessary to protect public health and for the purposes of sanitation. PART 2. City Code Section 6-4-2 (Definitions) is repealed and replaced with a new Section 6-4-2 to read as follows: 31 § 6-4-2 - DEFINITIONS. 32 Unless a different definition is expressly provided, in this chapter: Page 1 of 28 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 (1) ACTION OF THE UTILITY means an action taken by Austin Water pursuant to this chapter.

Austin Integrated Water Resource Planning Community Task Force Review and Recommendation November 13, 2020 Health and Environment Commission Meeting Date: Council Meeting Date: Department: Austin Water December 10, 2020 COA Strategic Direction: Client: Katherine Jashinski, Teresa Lutes, Kevin Critendon Agenda Item Recommend approval of an ordinance to establish Chapter 15-13 of the Austin City Code and amend City Code Chapter 2-13 regarding treatment, monitoring, and reporting regulations for Onsite Water Reuse Systems to encourage the development of local, sustainable water supplies using alternative source waters in commercial buildings for non-potable uses. Amount and Source of Funding Funding for the administration of these code changes is included in Austin Water’s FY 2020-2021 Approved Operating Budget November 29, 2018 – City Council approved the Water Forward Plan on a 10-0 vote. November 17, 2020 – To be reviewed by the Resource Management Commission November17, 2020 – To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission N/A Purchasing Language: N/A Prior Council Action: Boards and Commission Action: MBE/WBE: The 2018 Austin Integrated Water Resources Plan – Water Forward – includes strategies that require adoption of ordinances and incentives that would encourage and eventually require development of local, sustainable water supplies using alternative source waters (including rainwater, stormwater, A/C condensate, foundation drain water and graywater) for large commercial buildings for non-potable uses. The proposed ordinance language establishes regulations for the treatment, monitoring, and reporting requirements for onsite water reuse systems. These regulations are based on the model local ordinance from the National Blue Ribbon Commission for Onsite Non-potable Water Systems, which is supported by a risk- based public health framework that was developed by an expert panel of researchers, practitioners and public health officials. The proposed regulations are necessary to ensure the reuse systems are designed, operated and maintained in a manner that is protective of public health, thereby increasing their acceptance and adoption in new development. Along with these regulations, Austin Water is planning to administer a pilot onsite non- potable reuse incentive program. Grant awards are intended to help offset the installation costs of systems for development projects that voluntarily install and use onsite water reuse systems for non-potable water uses such as toilet flushing, cooling tower make-up water and irrigation. Through a proposed incentive program, projects that are able to offset at least 1,000,000 gallons of potable water each year will be eligible for $250,000 in grant funding and projects that …

Proper maintenance of onsite water reuse systems is necessary for sanitation and to protect public health as the City’s standard means of treatment or disposal through the City’s wastewater treatment systems or storm sewers, as applicable, is not being used as the sole or primary means of treatment or disposal. 24 PART 2. City Code Chapter 15-13 is adopted to read as follows: ARTICLE 1. - REGULATION OF ONSITE WATER REUSE SYSTEMS. Division 1. - General Provisions. § 15-13-1 – APPLICABILITY.
