HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS AUGUST 7, 2024 HR-2024-077497 ROGERS-WASHINGTON-HOLY CROSS HISTORIC DISTRICT 2305 EAST 21ST STREET 11 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct an accessory dwelling unit. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed project is to construct and ADU adjacent to the historic home facing East 21st Street, offset roughly 10 feet from the side of the house. The front of the new construction is to be nearly flush with the historic and is two stories in height. Materials are proposed to match the original home, and the roof is similar is pitch and form. The fenestration pattern is mostly regular on the front, along with a glazed entryway door. At the sides and rear, this is not the case, and windows are placed according to the interior floor plan. DESIGN STANDARDS The Rogers Washington Holy Cross Historic District Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 2.0 Lot Configuration 2.3: Preserve existing single-family development patterns by constructing one principal house-scaled building on each platted lot. Accessory dwelling units are permitted. The property remains one lot, with the ADU not being removed from the plat. 3.0 Site and Site Elements 3.1 Sidewalks/Walkways: Many of the block faces have walkways to the front of the houses. These walkways are typically simple and perpendicular to the street. Proposed access to the ADU front entry is a walkway aligned perpendicularly to the street and not wider than is needed. 8.0 New Construction of Infill (Principal Buildings and Accessory Dwelling Units) 8.1 Orientation, Setbacks, and Height The new construction has a setback almost matching with the original house and conforms to other houses in the district. The height of the two-story ADU is 23 feet above grade at the peak of the roof. Though there is a slight slope to the entire lot, the average height above grade is below the 27 feet limit that new construction is not to exceed. The section of the lot that contains the ADU footprint is generally flatter than other sections of the lot, and this is to be retained and the lot not significantly re-graded. Neighboring houses within the district are all one-story, which the proposed ADU exceeds, though it is not necessarily incompatible. 8.2 Design and Style Though two stories in height, the proposed ADU matches the nearby contributing buildings in floor height and …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS AUGUST 7, 2024 HR-2024-075431 ALDRIDGE PLACE HISTORIC DISTRICT 203 WEST 32ND STREET 12 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Convert garage to conditioned space and replace garage door with salvaged window. 1) Convert lower-level garage to an office/guest room, retaining the existing building footprint. 2) Remove garage door at historic location and replace it with a metal casement window, matching other windows on the front façade in style and salvaged from the neighborhood. The proposed window dates from the period of significance. Infill the surrounding opening that remains from the garage door to match the surrounding wall. 3) ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS One-story ca. 1940 cottage with hipped roof and projecting front porch. The front façade is clad in rectilinear stone with two large metal casement window assemblies. A garage is present below the main floor at the lowest end of the property. This floor is clad in stucco. The Aldridge Place Preservation Plan and Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 5.2. Preservation and Restoration of Contributing Structures 5.2.1: Front of Houses: Retain the historic character of a house in terms of door and window placement and exterior wall materials. Repair damaged or deteriorated exterior wall materials where reasonably possible. If replacement of exterior wall materials is necessary, choose a material identical/similar in size, profile, and appearance as the historic material. The proposal replaces the garage door with a window in the same location. The infill proposed to supplement the difference in opening size matches the surrounding wall. 5.2.3: Windows and Screens: If replacing windows or screens, use windows and screens that match the scale, profile, appearance, and configuration of existing historic windows. Aluminum-clad wood windows generally are appropriate for historic districts, but vinyl and aluminum windows or windows with interior vinyl pane dividers are not appropriate. Proposed infill window has been salvaged from within the historic district, from the same or similar manufacturer that created the two windows on the main floor of this property. 5.3. General Standards for Additions and Changes to Contributing Structures 5.3.2: General: Place any additions or reconstructions to fronts of houses in a manner that is consistent with the existing structure. The proposed infill retains the driveway that presently terminates at the garage. By placing an addition to conditioned space within the building footprint, …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS AUGUST 7, 2024 HR-2024-077986; PR-2024-078046 MARY BAYLOR HOUSE 1607 WEST 10TH STREET 13 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS read as an addition. ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS Construct a rear addition. Increase the footprint of the current house to include two new bedrooms and one bathroom. Extend the roof back and create a second side-gabled roof at rear. 1) Demo rear wall cladding and rear stair. Remove much of the rear half of the side-gabled roof of the original structure. 2) Construct new addition containing two bedrooms and one bathroom at the rear of the property, using the current hall as a connecting space. The new addition features a side entry at the east of the property. Addition maintains current roof height and pitch so as not to increase the height of the building. 3) Generally match historic materials in composition, but keep then visually distinct to allow the new construction to be Modest one-story cottage with small front porch with two front entry doors. A modestly pitched side-gable roof is present, with a smaller front gable forming the roof over the porch. Windows are 4-over-4 wood units and walls are clad in narrow horizontal wood lap. 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 at historic landmarks and in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential additions 1. Location The addition is located directly behind the historic house, and it is the same width as the historic building. The connection between the two sections is through an already present opening, which is currently a circulation space in the original section. 2. Scale, massing, and height Due to the small size of the original house, the addition would almost double the square footage and footprint of the residence. The extension of the house would alter the appearance from the street for similar size reasons. However, the location and size of the addition is in the least noticeable location. The roof peak would match the original in height, though the walls all rise slightly higher and call for additional, horizontal windows above anything present on the original house. 3. Design and style The design is simple, like the historic, and does not create a false sense of history or a departure …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS AUGUST 7, 2024 HR-2024-082296 HYDE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 4107 SPEEDWAY 14 – 1 Conversion of a rear porch to conditioned space and addition of a two-story rear addition with covered porch. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS 1) Enclose rear screened porch and convert to a bedroom. 2) Construct new two-story addition at southern rear corner, with the first floor being a screened porch and additional bedroom above. Addition would have a front-gabled roof. 3) Construct new one-story addition at south side of property to enlarge family room and house stairway to access second- floor addition. The proposed roof extends up the stair to terminate at the new front gable of the second-floor addition. One-story craftsman bungalow with ample front porch and cross gabled roof. Porch has two wood corner supports and three large windows on the front elevation. Siding is narrow lapped wood on all sides. The south side of the lot features a driveway with a gate to the rear of the property. The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. General Standards 1.3: Avoidance of False Historicism Current design calls for installing a wood bracket at the gable peak at the second-floor addition, which faces the street. Though minor, this may create confusion and a false sense of history about the era of construction of the addition. 3. Residential Standards: Single Family and Contributing Multifamily - Preservation and Restoration 3.5: Roofs The original single-story cross-gabled roof is proposed to be retained in pitch and material. The two-story addition calls for a front-gabled assembly of matching pitch at a higher height to accommodate the second floor. This additional height will be visible from the street, though it is set back over 50 feet from the front of the property and over two-thirds of the building footprint. 4. Residential Standards: Additions to Contributing Single Family and Multi-Family Structures 4.2: Location The proposed two-story addition is set at the rear of the house. The stairway addition is set to the side at the rear half of the house. 4.4. Size and Scale of Additions While the addition is proposed to be taller in height than the original house, and will be visible from the street, it is set at the rear half of the house footprint. …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS AUGUST 7, 2024 HR-2024-086086 GATEWOOD HOUSE 2900 TARRY TRAIL 15 – 1 PROPOSAL Build a deck and roof addition at the rear detached casita. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Create patio enclosure on rear side of casita, facing the pool. The design is open at the sides and supported by four columns at the side closest to the pool. 3) 2) Construct new hipped roof for new pool deck and flex/gym room at north. Roof pitch and material will not exactly match, but will be compatible with, the historic home’s roof. The new roof will not tie in to the historic at any location. Install new restrooms in existing side rooms at casita interior. These rooms have already been partitioned from previous interventions. In main house, remove one stair accessing the basement from the main floor. Install new basement access at rear exterior of house. 4) ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS Two-story Tudor style home set on a linear footprint with an ell at one end, containing most of the bedrooms and living space. The front entry is indicated by a steep octagonal roof projecting out at the hinge of the ell. Second floor windows are present as dormers or at the end gables. Exterior construction is white stone, and the roof is composed of wood shingle. The long axis of the house is largely fenestrated, with a glazed sunroom near one end. 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 at historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards The only work affecting the interior of the house is to close off basement access from a stair, but the stair is to remain and will not be altered. 3. Roofs Proposed roof covers roughly half of the casita structure, specifically the portions of the building that are not used as a garage. Though the roof pitch does not match the steep roof of the main house, as well as being hipped in form rather than gabled, the appearance is appropriate and defers to the historic. It is not proposed to tie into the original house in any location. The current roof at this location is slightly sloped metal roofing and no loss of integrity will occur. 5. Windows, …
16 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS AUGUST 7, 2024 HR-2024-086315 ROBERTSON/STUART & MAIR HISTORIC DISTRICT 1011 EAST 9TH STREET PROPOSAL Restoration of a front porch based on historic imagery. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish non-original (ca. 1949) concrete front porch and extension at left side of house 2) Restore front wall appearance to original, based on historic imagery 3) 4) Install new porch columns and balustrade Install tandem parking slab at side of house and regrade drainage away from building ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS Single-story bungalow with large front gable overhanging a front porch. A small extension appears at the left of the front façade, which is clad in fiberboard siding. The Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1.2. Alterations to Contributing Buildings 1.2.1.3. Do not add a new feature that was not there historically. Proposed designs are based on photos from 1935, which indicate what was present previous to porch alteration and the front extensions at the left of the house. The proposed drawings appear to match in size, scale, and material to the historic imagery, and identify what was installed at a later date that is to be removed. The design successfully avoids an historicized appearance or speculation as to what was original to the house. A less thorough design would likely not have been successful in matching. 1.2.2.1. Front exterior walls While the proposal calls for full removal of the current cladding material on the front and within 15 feet on the sides, it is believed that at least some of the original cladding material is present behind, either to reuse or, at worst, use as a guide to replicate dimension and shape of the waterfall siding. 1.2.2.5. Porches Like above, all current material is proposed to be replaced and changed in design to match historic images. The designs appear to be appropriate in scale and design to match. Though a simplified design might be more appropriate if the original can’t be determined, the more ornate balustrade matches the photo and is appropriate at this location. Summary The project meets the applicable standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the application. LOCATION MAP 16 – 2
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS AUGUST 7, 2024 HR-2023-043027 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1409 ALTA VISTA AVENUE 17 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1926 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story Craftsman with horizontal wood siding, screened wood windows, decorative shutters, a hooded entryway with decorative brackets, and a clipped-gable roof. The house at 1409 Alta Vista Avenue was built around 1926. Until 1947, its occupants were mostly short-term owners and renters, including an engineer, a state highway inspector, an office manager, and a mechanic. The home was then purchased by Frank and Lura Connolly. Frank Connolly was the editor, owner, and publisher of the Texas Tax Journal, while Lura worked both at the journal and as a Red Cross nurse. The Connollys sold the home in the late 1950s to Anna and William Duncum. William Duncum worked as a public school teacher. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity. 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: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of modest Craftsman architecture in Travis Heights. 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 does not appear to possess 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 does not appear to be a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Strongly encourage adaptive reuse and rehabilitation, then relocation over demolition, but release the demolition permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package. The Historic Landmark Commission must review plans for new construction in National Register Historic Districts before the demolition permit is released.

Learn why this is External Email - Exercise Caution Hello -- I am writing regarding the planned demolition of 1409 Alta Vista Avenue. I am a proponent of new development within our city, but without careful planning and consideration, this project could be an imminent danger to heritage trees on the property, negatively impact the neighborhood and Alta Vista Avenue, and set the wrong precedent for development under updated building codes. I am urging a postponement of the demolition approval until a full development plan is shared and neighborhood concerns are addressed. I observed at the June 5, 2024 Historic Landmark Commission meeting that the owner of this property intends to carry out a full demolition followed by the construction of a triplex. The owner, however, has not attempted to contact or make clear his plans with immediate neighbors or the neighborhood association. As the owner and resident of the house next door, 1407 Alta Vista, I am greatly concerned about the impact of this project on the neighborhood, Alta Vista Avenue, and my property. While I support the creation of additional affordable housing units in our city, I have concerns about approving the demolition of this original structure without a clear understanding of the triplex plans for this lot. My specific concerns include: Preservation of Heritage Trees: There are seven heritage trees documented on the demolition permit. How will the project address the preservation of the beautiful heritage oak trees on the property? How do we ensure that the developer does not willfully violate tree preservation rules? Maintaining Existing Feel and Setbacks How will the project ensure the preservation of existing street's feel? The setbacks create a sense of openness and greenery that is unique and core to the identity of Travis Heights Street and Alley Access and Parking: How will access and parking be managed for three units on this lot? I urge the Historic Landmark Commission, and the city, to hold off on approving the demolition of the existing structure until there is a comprehensive review of the proposed plans to ensure …
