I wanted to be sure you knew that the landlord of the property has treated Rockstar Bagels fairly. The landlord has kept us informed concerning the rezoning and after our lease expired in February 2026 the landlord allowed us to continue on a month-to-month basis, as we look for a larger space to rent. Although the landlord has offered to provide comparable space nearby, we are looking to expand and will now require more space than the landlord has available elsewhere. Nevertheless, there is time and the landlord has agreed to continue the month- to-month lease arrangement for at least another year and to help us find a larger home. We are grateful for the communication and professionalism that the landlord has shown. Very truly yours, Joe Humel 06 C14-2026-0008 - 1900 Rosewood Block; District 11 of 1

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificate of Appropriateness September 2, 2026 PR-2026-008188; GF-2026-025308 Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District 1005 East 8th Street 3 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1906 house listed as contributing to a local historic district. Architecture The house at 1005 East 8th St. was likely originally constructed as a single story building, with the sloping elevation of the site creating a crawlspace or cellar to the east side of the building footprint. Since its construction, this has been enclosed, and a rear addition built, increasing the enclosed area of the building. However, the U-shaped form and Folk Victorian elements still read legibly, and decorative elements, especially at the front porch and gable ends, remain present. The integrity of the architecture is strong and the property remains contributing to the Robertson/Stuart & Mair historic district. Research For the first 30 years after construction, the property went through a series of renters, made up of families and individuals employed by various local industries and services, including carpenters, foundry workers, and porters. The first long term owners were Ernest & Marie Kemp, who operated a local grocery. Marie Kemp continued to live at the address after her husband’s death, but by the 1950s, the property was vacant before becoming subdivided for oil industry and other professional offices. A third housing unit was added in 1970, indicating that this property continued use as residential rentals. An overnight fire occurred at the property on November 12th, 20251. Department Comments This application will time out on October 13, 2026. Property Evaluation The property contributes to the Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District. Staff Recommendation Grant the applicant requested postponement to the October 7, 2026 Historic Landmark Commission meeting. 1 “Firefighter injured in East Austin house fire, investigation underway”. https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/afd-responding-to- house-fire-in-east-austin-no-injuries-reported Location Map 3 – 2 Property Information Photos 3 – 3 Texas Historical Commission, photograph, May 29, 1975.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificate of Appropriateness September 2, 2026 HR-2026-101469 Malcolm and Margaret Badger Reed House 1712 Rio Grande Street 4 – 1 Proposal Rehabilitate a landmarked structure and construct a rear addition. Project Specifications 1) Repair and reconstruct original design elements at the main structure, including front stairs, windows, and replace roof with material more in matching with original appearance. 2) Remove non-historic porch enclosure and rear fire escape stair. 3) Construct a rear two-story addition with a modern design, connected to the original building by an enclosed hyphen corridor, reducing the impact to historic material. Architecture This City of Austin landmark is a two-story brick structure built around or shortly after 1912. It features Prairie School style elements, including a large hipped roof, a broad front porch, and an emphasis on horizontal elements. There are some highly intricate window sashes that remain, and the condition of the exterior is in good, if altered, condition. The front entry is approached by a wide front stair leading to an arched brick portal to the porch. Changes over time include an enclosed side porch, a replaced roof, as well as a rear addition with substantial wood fire escape. 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 at historic properties. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards Removal of material from the building is limited to nonhistoric or otherwise nonoriginal fabric. Reconstruction and rehabilitation is guided by historic images included in case backup. 3. Roofs Existing, nonhistoric metal roof is proposed to be removed and replaced with clay tile or another product that visually matches clay tile while being lighter in weight. The applicant has proposed reinforcement of the roof structure in either case, and the use of either roofing material is based on historic photos to ensure an appropriate match. 4. Exterior walls and trim Minor damage and deterioration at exterior walls will be repaired, and some electrical conduit and nonhistoric interventions will be removed where no longer needed. Existing side porch, which was previously enclosed, will be reopened and porch rails will be reconstructed based on historic imagery. 5. Windows, doors, and screens Several windows and doors are proposed to be replaced, all of which are not original to the building. …
