Project Summary: The Pease Elementary School building dates from 1876, one of the first schools built with public funds in Texas. The building was expanded in 1895, 1896, 1916 and 1926, and remodeled in 1949. The school building is three stories, load bearing masonry construction with a stucco exterior finish applied to the masonry walls. The building was designated as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 2013 and is a contributing structure to the West Austin Downtown National Register Historic District, designated in 2024. The primary goals of the Pease Elementary School rehabilitation project are to prepare the building for use as an early childhood learning center on the lower two floors and as office space on the upper floor. United Way for Greater Austin will operate the early childhood learning center, and will occupy the office spaces on the upper level. The project will be completed in two primary construction phases. Phase I, included in these review materials, addresses conditions at the building exterior. Phase II, not included in these review materials, addresses conditions at the building interior and the site and grounds. The exterior work to be done under the Phase I project includes: • Remove existing exterior fire stairs and replace with new exterior fire stairs • Window and exterior door replacement • Downspout replacement • Limited repairs to existing roof, in the areas of new penetrations through the existing roof • Limited repairs to existing stucco coating, in the areas where window, exterior door and fire stair replacement occurs • Exterior painting of stucco coating East Elevation North Elevation West Elevation South Elevation West Elevation, detail West Elevation, detail West Elevation, detail South Elevation, detail South Elevation, detail South Elevation, detail South Elevation, detail South Elevation, detail South Elevation, detail PROJECT TEAM OWNER AND OWNER'S CONSULTANTS ARCHITECT AND ARCHITECT'S CONSULTANTS OWNER: Austin Independent School District 4000 S.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts August 5, 2026 HR-2026-071919 West Line Historic District 705 West Lynn Street 11 – 1 Proposal Construct a single family residence and rear housing unit. Project Specifications 1) Construct a two-story, L-shaped residence at the front of the property, with a side driveway and garage facing the street. Setback distance and front porch width will be similar to the existing residence. 2) In a possible later phase, construct a rear second housing unit, oriented towards the back alley and set at a lower grade than the front structure. Design Standards The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location Proposed construction is set back in line with nearby historic structures on the street, preserving the overall street rhythm along West Lynn. The side garage is set several feet behind the main entry, which is appropriate for such a use and defers to the main house, which is accessed through a front porch. A rear accessory building proposed as part of a future phase is located at the rear of the property and will not be legible from the street. 2. Orientation Like the historic building that this is proposed to replace, the structure is oriented to West Lynn Street, with a front porch facing outwards. As stated above, the attached garage is located to a side set further back from the street, but its orientation is also facing West Lynn Street. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed design is two stories in height, which has become common for both new construction and additions to contributing properties in this portion of the district. While typical contributing properties see second floor additions towards the rear of the property, this design calls for the second floor to come to the front of the house, beginning immediately behind the front porch. Additionally, the roof structure (discussed further below) is a front facing gable, which increases the overall height of the building. However, the scale and massing is still in keeping with the surrounding properties as they have changed over time, and floor heights are minimal enough to not emphasize the verticality of the structure. 4. Proportions The proportions, …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts August 5, 2026 SP-2026-035365; HR-2026-070009 West Line Historic District 611 West Lynn Street 12 – 1 Proposal Construct eight detached residential units on a property. Project Specifications Construct a total of eight multi-story housing units, oriented around a center driveway and pool area. Five units at the front of the property will face this new driveway, and the three rear units will face a rear alley. This driveway will require a new curb cut. Architecture The property is currently a vacant lot. The original house of the property was demolished in 2020. Research The house was built around 1899 by Roy and Helen Slaughter, who resided at the address until the mid-1940s. Roy Slaughter worked at Brown Brothers, a mortgage and investment firm, for many years, starting as a clerk before becoming a land and mortgage agent and finally proprietor of the firm with his partner, George F. Zimmermann. After he died in 1944, his widow Helen continued to live in this house for a short period, then sold it to Charles and Magdalen Dildy, who lived at the property until the early 2000s. Design Standards The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The front units will have their walls closest to the street with a setback that approximately matches surrounding properties. Other units are spread equally across the property and don’t don’t extend beyond required setbacks. Due to the site elevation, which slopes down towards the rear alley, units will be less visible as they are more set back from the front of the property. 2. Orientation The front five units will face the central driveway, which is not typical to the district and is not in keeping with the design standards. The three rear units, facing the alley, are in keeping with the standards in their guidance on additional structures on the property. 3. Scale, massing, and height All housing units are designed to be at least three stories in height. This is taller than surrounding contributing properties, with the exception of the Sheeks-Robertson House across the street. The massing of each unit appears very vertical due to each being detached, …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Demolition and Relocation Permits August 5, 2026 PR-2026-040403 1808 East Cesar Chavez Street 13 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1930 structure. Architecture The existing structure is a two story commercial structure with two storefront entries side-by-side on the main elevation. There is a small, metal clad awning above the ground floor entryways. Above, two sets of paired, wood- frame windows are present at the second floor, with a moderately pitched hipped roof with exposed rafter tails above. The roof material is metal standing seam, and all exterior walls are clad in thin teardrop siding. While several of the windows are currently boarded over or otherwise inaccessible, images from the past decade would indicate that the existing material is largely intact, if in need of repair. Research This property has a long history of commercial tenants who served the East Austin community. For several decades after construction, it was home to a beauty parlor, a barber shop, and a shoe repair shop. By the 1950s, one or more of these tenants had vacated the building, but there was always at least one occupied storefront at the property. Newspaper records feature advertisements for Smith’s Barber Shop, Guarantee Wave Shop, and Carlson’s Shoe Repair Shop. The latter of these was owned by Reverend E. A. Carlson, formerly a Swedish Baptist minister, for 31 years until his death in 1964. Department Comments Two permits were issued for the property in 1999, though there are no digitized records of the application material. However, summary descriptions are available in city records. One permit described work to remodel the building’s interior & exterior to create a duplex. The second permit from the same year is summarized as, “Add 1st floor stair tower, porch, and 2nd floor extension.” There are no records of this property being surveyed in the 1980 East Austin historic resource survey or the 1984 citywide comprehensive resource survey. At time of writing, no photos of the property can be found prior to the 1999 permits. This application will time out on September 14, 2026. Property Evaluation The 2016 East Austin historic resource survey lists the property as eligible as a City of Austin landmark, as well as contributing to a potential local or National Register historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. 3) …

The proposed addition contains a 3-story vertical circulation core to serve as a hyphen between the addition and the historic building, set back from the south face of the 1956 wing. Exterior materials include stacked-bond Roman brick veneer and metal paneling at the elevator tower. Proposed fenestration is similar, but not identical, in size and configuration to those of the 1956 wing. 3) Roof replacement: Remove and replace entire roof with new mechanically fastened 60-mil TPO system with insulation, cover board, wood blocking, sheet metal flashing/coping, scuppers, and skylight. 4) Cleaning and repointing: Clean historic masonry using the gentlest means possible including very water >300 psi and, only if needed, Prosocco or equivalent chemical solvent. Cleaning methodologies will be tested in an inconspicuous location prior to proceeding with work to ensure that cleaning will not damage the masonry. Perform Mortar repointing as needed, with new mortar will match historic in composition, hardness, and joint profile. Up-close, detail photos of masonry will be provided at project completion. 5) Non-historic EIFS on the south side of the 1956 addition will be removed as part of the restoration of the original breezeway. 6) Windows: a. Repair existing windows on the 1936 and 1939 wings in-kind as needed, apart from one window on the east elevation of the west 1939 addition, to be converted to a door. Install skylights along the length of the 1939 corridor, not visible from exterior ground level. b. Remove louvers from 1940 boiler house windows. c. Remove existing paneling and furr outs from 1951 cafetorium, retaining and repairing in-kind any remaining historic-age windows. If deteriorated beyond repair or wholly missing, document their condition and replace with new windows …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Demolition and Relocation Permits August 5, 2026 PR-2026-080075 1708 Willow Street 15 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1905 house with 1947 church addition, as well as non-historic accessory building. Architecture One-story, L-plan National Folk-style house with partial-width porch, board-and-batten siding, and traditional cornice returns at the gable end. A commercial addition with eclectic parapet is constructed at the back of the property. Research The house at 1708 Willow Street was constructed around 1905. Its earliest resident was Erastus Otho Bartlett, a veteran train conductor who spent forty years with the Southern Pacific railway. After Bartlett’s tenancy in 1906, the house changed hands rapidly among railroad and adjacent industry workers until around 1917, when it was purchased by the Harrell family. Robert W. Harrell, Sr., had fourteen children by two marriages and owned a produce company on East Avenue; he worked both by himself and intermittently with partners Crockett and Bailey until his son Edwin joined the business around 1920. At that time, it was moved to East 6th Street. R. W. Harrell died in 1925, and after his death Edwin Harrell went on to found the Capitol Printing Company before his own death in 1932. His stepmother, Mrs. Alma Harrell, retained ownership of both the house and business until her death in 1938. Her son, Robert W. Harrell, Jr., sold the house around 1943. The building’s next long-term occupants were pastors Willard D. and Evelyn Hoover, who had begun their Christian Army Mission in Austin in 1941. Reverend Willard Hoover, ordained in St. Louis in 1937 after the death of his first wife, left his life as a farmer in Iowa and styled himself as “Major” and “Commander” of the Salvation-Army-like organization. Hoover immediately ran afoul of law enforcement upon his arrival in Austin by soliciting donations on the street via loudspeaker without a permit. From 1941 to 1955, Hoover, in a series of litigation efforts, battled the City’s anti-solicitation ordinance. The Austin American-Statesman covered his exploits extensively, often portraying him as a comedic example of chicanery. After such exploits as evading the draft, embezzling flour donations, electrifying his fence with a streetlamp, spending time in jail on principle, and fleeing to New Mexico to avoid arrest, Hoover was vindicated in a 1955 plea to the State Court of Criminal Appeals. The state overturned his county conviction and ruled Austin’s solicitation ordinance invalid as …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Demolition and Relocation Permits August 5, 2026 PR-2026-073826; GF-2026-088792 1915 Willow Street 16 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1914 house. Architecture One-story house with Craftsman and National Folk influences, including a full-width porch, pyramidal hipped roof, and exposed rafter tails. Windows have been replaced, and the original double Cumberland-style front door has been filled in. Research The house at 1915 Willow Street was built around 1914. Its earliest residents were Mrs. Alice Houston, a widow, and her family. She sold the house to widow Pauline Kanetzky in the early 1920s, though, after a few years, the Kanetzky family departed, and the house was rented to several short-term occupants until Jeff and Sallie Keith moved in around 1940. The Keith family remained in the home until at least 1967, when Sallie Keith died. She had remained in the home with her daughter and son-in-law, Sallie and Charley Bingle, after the death of her husband shortly after moving to 1915 Willow Street. Department Comments Case PR-2026-073826 first appears on the August 5, 2026 Historic Landmark Commission agenda Property Evaluation The 2016 East Austin survey lists the property as contributing to potential local and National Register historic districts. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building does not retain integrity, as siding, windows, and door were changed without permits between 2017 and 2018. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria for landmark designation: a. Architecture. The building does not appear to convey architectural significance. b. Historical association. The property does not appear to have significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The property was not evaluated for its ability to convey a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that contributes to the character, image, or cultural identity of the city, the neighborhood, or a particular demographic group. e. Landscape feature. The property is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Demolition and Relocation Permits August 5, 2026 PR-2026-086869; GF-2026-090464 1005 E. 13th Street 17 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1910 house. Architecture This wide, single-story house was built with National Folk elements and features an inset porch at the northeast corner. The porch is supported by a single metal support structure in the front corner which is attached to a short metal rail. The front door is set at the rear of the porch, next to a single-hung window. A tripartite window assembly is present at the other half of the front façade, surrounded by ample wood trim painted blue. Narrow wood siding clads the entire house and, while sagging in some areas, is overall in repairable condition. Due to the width of the house, the moderately pitched hipped roof form visually dominates over the property. It is clad in composition shingle and features a rectangular dormer at the front, which itself is topped with a hipped roof assembly. The foundation is pier and beam. Research The longtime owner of this property upon construction was Henry Williams, who worked various roles as a fireman, porter, farmer, and oil mill worker. By 1918, he lived with his wife Eliza Williams, and the two raised a family at the house. In 1926, Henry Williams was shot in rural Travis County and recovered, and in 1930, he was again injured as a result of a wind storm while working at an oil mill. After his death around 1944, Eliza Williams remained at the address until at least 1949, after which the property was purchased by Abe & Bobbie Smith, who had at least one child while living at the property. Department Comments This application will time out on October 19, 2026. Property Evaluation The 2016 East Austin historic resource survey lists the property as eligible as a local landmark as well as contributing to a potential local or National Register district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate-to-high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352).

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Demolition and Relocation Permits August 5, 2026 PR-2026-063392 1903 Westridge Dr. 18 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1966 duplex. Architecture One-story Mid-century Modern house with stucco cladding and asymmetrical “wounded dove” roofline with deep eaves and recessed carport. The roof and front porch are supported by wood columns, some of which appear to be replacements. A stucco-covered masonry site wall shields the yard from view, and a large swath of limestone riprap at the front lawn separates the property from the street below. The rear of the building is clad in vertical wood siding. Fenestration includes aluminum sliders, casements, and fixed clerestory windows; the front door has been replaced. Research The house at 1903 Westridge Drive, originally addressed as 1901 Westridge Drive, was built by A. D. Stenger in 1966. Originally brick, it appears to have been stuccoed either during or after the period of significance, though the provenance of the existing decorative columns is unclear; both were likely applied at the same time. Little archival information remains on the building’s occupants: as a duplex constructed for Louise Weidner, it appears to have hosted numerous tenant households with relatively high turnover. Department Comments 1903 Westridge Drive first appeared on the July 1, 2026 Historic Landmark Commission agenda. The Commission’s 75-day timeline expires Property Evaluation The 2016 Bouldin survey lists the property as contributing to a potential historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building’s integrity appears compromised. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff have evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria for landmark designation: a. Architecture. Though its integrity as a Mid-century Modern building has been compromised by the addition of stucco and styled Classical columns, the building still displays the unique horizontality of form, interplay between indoor and outdoor spaces, and the classic “wounded dove” asymmetrical roof silhouette that characterize this era of modern residential architecture and appear in several of A. D. Stenger’s designs.1 b. Historical association. The property was built by A. D. Stenger. However, it does not appear to retain sufficient integrity to convey those associations. As a purpose-built rental property, it does not appear to have been associated with significant people for a long enough period to establish the longstanding association required by Code to fulfill this criterion. c. …

DRAFT MEMORANDUM FOR COMMISSION REVIEW To: From: Date: Subject: Mayor and City Council Historic Landmark Commission and Historic Preservation O(cid:431)ice August 5, 2026 Opposition to Proposed Changes to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act The federal Advisory Council on Historic Preservation advises the President and Congress on matters relating to historic preservation. The Advisory Council has proposed substantial changes to Section 106 of the 1966 National Historic Preservation Act. If adopted, the proposal would significantly weaken the legal protections Section 106 provides for historic and cultural places nationwide. Section 106 requires federal agencies to consider the e(cid:431)ects of their actions on historic properties and places. The Section 106 consultation process enables public participation; gives state, local, and Tribal governments a voice in in federal decisions; and often improves project outcomes for both agencies and the public. Local, state, and Tribal governments would no longer be automatically notified or given the chance to comment when federal agencies propose actions that could damage or destroy historic places within their jurisdiction; instead, federal agencies could choose whether to provide an opportunity for public comment. The proposed changes would have direct consequences in Austin. The Section 106 process has enabled the Historic Preservation O(cid:431)ice, Historic Landmark Commission, and local advocates to weigh in on major transportation projects with federal funding, including Project Connect and the expansion of both I-35 and MoPac. Without the requirement to notify and consult local interested parties, Austin’s preservation community would have no formal role in the federal review process when federally-funded projects threaten the city’s historic fabric. Partnerships among the Historic Preservation O(cid:431)ice, Historic Landmark Commission, state agencies, and community members have produced new information about potentially significant places, thoughtful alternatives to projects that would harm local heritage, and meaningful mitigation strategies when harm cannot be avoided. Without a robust Section 106 process, federal agencies would have no obligation to consider stakeholder or community input or to avoid, minimize, or mitigate harm to important places. The Historic Preservation O(cid:431)ice and Historic Landmark Commission oppose the proposed changes to the National Historic Preservation Act’s Section 106 process and encourage Austin residents and stakeholders to participate in the 30-day public comment period once it opens. Formal public comment will be requested by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation after a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is published in the Federal Register. Historic Preservation O(cid:431)ice sta(cid:431) and commissioners will monitor the …

July 20, 2026 Liz Johnston, Environmental Officer Austin Watershed Protection 6310 Wilhelmina Delco Drive Austin, TX 78752 Via Electronic Delivery Re: 3900 W. Howard Lane – Environmental Variance Request for the 170.178-acre property located at 3900 W. Howard Lane, Austin, TX 78728, comprised of TCAD ID 0267110101 (the "Property") Dear Ms. Johnson: The following request is on behalf of Otsuka ICU Medical LLC ("Owner") for approval of an environmental variance in connection with the proposed Great Wave development (“D” permit (2025170-D)) at 3900 W. Howard Lane, Austin, TX 78728 ("Project"). The Project proposes a new manufacturing facility for ICU Medical which will be permitted under the “C” permit (2025170-C). A variance of the following code sections is requested under the “D” permit: • • Land Development Code ("LDC") §25-8-341 (Cut Requirements): o Allow cut greater than 4’, up to 20’ of cut. Land Development Code ("LDC") §25-8-342 (Fill Requirements): o Allow fill greater than 4’, up to 20’ of fill. An existing medical facility building occupies the southern portion of the site. The proposed structure, located on the northern portion of the property, is constrained by the existing development and its established grades. Additionally, the natural topography of the site has significant variation, with the highest elevation located at the northwest corner. To accommodate the intended use of the structure, a single finished floor elevation with level docking and loading areas is required. The large, level footprint of the building results in cut at the northern end of the structure and fill at the southern end of the structure, both exceeding code requirements for a finished floor elevation of 813.60 NAVD88. While the proposed grading will transition to the existing grades at the limits of construction, the existing medical facility has a finished floor of 806.40 +/- NAVD88. The difference in finished floor elevations is due to the natural topography of the site and the presence of shallow bedrock at the northern portion of the site. To limit the disturbance of the site, the following mitigation measures are proposed: retaining walls along the McNeil Merriltown Road frontage, 2.79 acres of native restoration planting and 676 proposed trees. All required tree mitigation is met, and the landscaping exceeds code requirements (total stabilized, vegetated area of approximately 13.58 acres). Please see included plan sheets for additional detailed information. 2705 Bee Caves Road Suite 100 | Austin, Texas 78746 | 512-807-2900 | www.drennergroup.com …

Development Services Department Staff Recommendations Concerning Required Findings Project Name: Great Wave, SP-2026-0221D Ordinance Standard: Current code Variance Request: Request to vary from Land Development Code 25-8-341 to allow cut up to 20 feet. A. Land Use Commission variance determinations from Chapter 25-8-41 of the City Code: 1. The requirement will deprive the applicant of a privilege available to owners of other similarly situated property with approximately contemporaneous development subject to similar code requirements. Yes. The variance will not be providing a special privilege to the applicant. Other owners with similarly situated property with approximately contemporaneous development have received variances for cut and fill in order to construct very large industrial buildings for warehouse and manufacturing uses. 2. The variance: a. is not necessitated by the scale, layout, construction method, or other design decision made by the applicant, unless the design decision provides greater overall environmental protection than is achievable without the variance. Yes. The requested cut variance is necessary due to the operational requirements of the manufacturing facility proposed at the site, which will require a level floor for the various stages of a complex assembly line for advanced manufacturing. The scale of the project is in line with the supply demands for medical IV bag production and the building is sited on the portion of the site easily accessible to existing drive aisles and on slopes less than 15% in grade. In addition, the applicant will provide full tree mitigation on site and riparian zone restoration as conditions of the variance approvals. b. is the minimum deviation from the code requirement necessary to allow a reasonable use of the property; and Yes. The cut proposed will be evenly split between each side of the building, allowing a balance of cut and fill across the site. The approximately 425,000 square foot building will extend 960 feet end to end across the site, which encompasses a large grade change of around 40 feet of elevation rise over that distance. c. Does not create a significant probability of harmful environmental consequences; and Yes. The proposed site plan will have robust erosion controls during construction to prevent erosion by utilizing large, rough-cut sedimentation basins to collect runoff and prevent sediment laden water from entering the adjacent tributary on the site. 3. Development with the variance will result in water quality that is at least equal to the water quality achievable without the …
