Additional Backup Information: Austin Energy is upgrading the Brackenridge Substation to modern gas‑insulated switchgear (GIS) to replace aging 1970s equipment and support rapidly growing electrical demand in downtown Austin. This work is a core component of the Repowering Downtown initiative and is expected to have minimal public impact due to its location on City owned property. This additional authorization will support cost increases related to global and regional shortages of GIS equipment and transformers that continue to create severe manufacturing backlogs and record-high wait times. Prices for copper, aluminum, steel, fuel, transportation, imported metals and specialty electrical components have risen sharply. Nationwide labor shortages and elevated Engineering, Procurement, and Construction pricing have increased construction costs. Rerouting of power to Rainey Street GIS Substation and delays in de‑energizing Brackenridge substation has increase costs for storing long lead materials and procuring performance of the work. Item 2 Additionally, this authorization includes costs for upgraded monitoring, expanded maintenance access, enhanced gas detection, added fire protection, and updated control and safety settings to improve system reliability. This project is located within zip code 78701 (District 9).

11.5.26 MACC Staff Report Website - Facebook – Instagram Please share our social media posts, sign up for our newsletter, and check out our upcoming events! Signature Events Past: Dia de Muertos/ Day of the Dead Sunday, November 1st 1-6pm 5,000+ attendees Our hearts are full! The @Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center held its annual Día de los Muertos event on Sunday, November 1st . The celebration celebrates life and death not as opposites, but as a continuous cycle, creating a joyful space to remember our loved ones. It was amazing to finally host this event at the MACC again, in the newly expanded building that just reopened in June 2026. It offered even more space for the beautiful “ofrendas”, which are altars that community members created in honor of deceased ancestors, family, friends, and public figures. The ofrendas offer a space to share loss, celebrate heritage, and turn individual remembrance into a collective experience. The ofrendas remain on display at the MACC through November 7 and are free and open to visit! Visitors at the MACC’s Day of the Dead celebration on November 1st activated the ofrendas and they grew throughout the day as people added photographs, marigolds (cempasúchil), candles, fruit, and mementos. We saw families enjoying the hands-on activities like sugar skull decorating, flower crown making, pan de muerto workshops, face painting, and art installations. The afternoon featured dance and music performances, local vendors and, artisans, and plenty of hands-on activations like Loteria. We saw so many folks enjoying themselves both newcomers and long-time residents. People discovered the MACC for the first time during this special afternoon full of beautiful sights, sounds, and colorful activations that preserve Mexican, Mexican-American, and Latino/a/e traditions. Thank you to all who participated! Comments from Social Media on the Day of the Dead event: “Such a fun experience...our first time there.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificate of Appropriateness November 4, 2026 PR-2026-008188; GF-2026-025308 Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District 1005 East 8th Street 5 – 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 January 14, 2027. Property Evaluation The property contributes to the Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District.

Project Specifications 1) Replace exterior siding. 2) Replace doors and windows. 3) Remodel and update interior of building (not is scope of HLC review) Architecture This property is a single story ranch style house in the Rogers Washington Holy Cross neighborhood. Walls are clad in asbestos shingle at the front, with vinyl siding at the sides and rear. The building is rectangular in plan and has a simple side gabled roof structure. Windows and doors appear to have all been replaced from original fixtures. Design Standards The Rogers Washington Holy Cross Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: General Standards 1. Protected Facades Character defining features at the primary/protected facades are to be retained. Removal and recladding of the exterior walls is appropriate, as the existing is vinyl siding at the sides and rear with asbestos shingles at the front. 4. Alterations to Contributing Properties 4.1. Exterior walls Exterior cladding is proposed to be replaced. The existing siding is composed of vinyl siding and asbestos shingle, the former of which is not original and an alternate material would be more in keeping with the district design standards. Existing siding should be removed using the gentlest means possible if original material is found underneath. 4.5. Windows Existing windows are not original. All of these units are proposed to be replaced, though their locations and openings will be retained in size. Vinyl or vinyl-clad windows are not allowed, and simulated divided lites/false muntins are also prohibited in the district. 4.6. Doors Doors are also proposed to be replaced in their original locations. These new units must be compatible to the district and not appear too modern. Summary The project meets the applicable standards. Department Comments This application will time out on December 18, 2027. Staff Recommendation Approve the Certificate of Appropriateness.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificates of Appropriateness November 4, 2026 HR-2026-130922 Hyde Park Historic District 4115 Avenue D 7 – 1 Proposal Replace non-historic windows on a contributing church structure. Project Specifications As part of a project to bring a historic church back into code and historic design compliance, the applicant is proposing to replace windows, which were installed by a previous owner, with fixtures more appropriate to their openings and the Hyde Park design standards. Other portions of this project include converting the property to residential use and life safety updates, all of which are located at the interior of the property and do not fall under the scope of the Historic Landmark Commission’s review. Architecture This former church is located at a prominent corner in the Hyde Park neighborhood. It is constructed of brick, which has been inappropriately painted, and features a steep cross-gabled roof clad in shingles. There are two small dormers toward the front of the roof structure, and the side-facing gables each have a small attic vent. The front of the church features a small stairway to access the main entry, with an entrance at the side for accessibility. Windows have all been replaced with fixtures that are too small for their openings. Design Standards 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 1.2. Retention of Historic Style Character defining features, most notably the replacement of windows and painting of brick, have been removed or heavily altered, which has threatened the overall integrity of the property. While the paint is not being proposed to be removed at this time, the window replacements seek to reduce the impact of poor, unpermitted work completed by a previous owner. 1.4. Appropriate Treatment Options for Contributing or Potentially Contributing Structures Generally speaking, the proposed windows are a much better fit for the building. It is deeply regrettable that work was completed by a previous owner and original windows were lost. While it would be highly recommended that salvaged or bespoke windows be located or fabricated for these openings, the proposed window fixtures are a much better fit than what are currently in place. 3. Residential Standards: Single Family and Contributing Multifamily – Preservation and Restoration 3.1. Front of Houses The overall orientation, arrangement of doors and windows, and front steps will …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Demolition and Relocation Permits November 4, 2026 PR-2026-079349; GF-2026-090393 Travis Heights-Fairview Park Historic District 706 East Monroe Street 8 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1927 house. Architecture This property is a single-story Craftsman bungalow featuring an ample, projecting front porch that is supported by two square wood posts. These posts, along with the porch railing and brackets above, decorate the front of the house, which retains strong integrity. The front gabled roof features prominent overhangs and rafter tails still present under a later gutter addition. Windows all appear to be original and are in good condition. The walls are clad in narrow horizontal siding, and the elevated foundation is covered by a concrete or stucco skirting. Behind the house is a porch structure that has been confirmed by a previous owner to have been designed by former University of Texas architecture professor Bob Mather. The design of this structure, made from portions of the original garage, matches the roof pitch to create a sheltered space at the rear, and was likely designed while Mather lived, along with his wife Jean Mather, nearby at 1611 Alameda Drive. Research After its construction, this property was shortly owned by Walter & Larah Bergfield, the former of whom was employed as a barber. After a series of short term owners and residents, including a taxi driver and a telephone repairman, the property was bought by Edmund & Dorothy Morris around 1944. Edmund Morris worked at the Mutual Benefit Health Association as a manager, before starting his own insurance agency by 1949. Doris is listed as assisting in this operation, and the couple raised several children at the property. By 1957, the property was purchased by Clyde & Georgia Priddy, a chef at the Commodore Perry Hotel. Department Comments Per city code § 25-11-213 (G)(4), the Historic Landmark Commission has 180 days to review demolition permits in National Register historic districts starting from the date the application was submitted. This period is set to time out on February 17, 2027. 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 for …
06/09/2026 June 18, 2026 City of Austin Development Services Department Historic Preservation Office / Austin Planning Re: Residential Total Demolition Permit Application — 706 E Monroe Street, Austin, Texas To Development Services and Historic Preservation Staff: We recently acquired the property at 706 E Monroe Street and are submitting this Residential Total Demolition Permit application to begin the City’s required review process for the existing bungalow and related accessory structure. We understand that the property is located within the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register Historic District context and that review by Historic Preservation staff and/or the Historic Landmark Commission may be required before any permit may be released. At this stage, we are evaluating multiple paths for the existing bungalow. Demolition is not our first or only path. In parallel with this permit application, we are actively exploring preservation alternatives, including retention of the structure as part of the overall site plan and potential relocation/donation to a house preservation nonprofit. We are submitting the application now so that the required City review can proceed while those preservation and relocation conversations continue. Based on the information currently available to us, we understand that the bungalow may be a contributing-age structure within the National Register district context, but we do not believe it independently meets the City’s criteria for local historic landmark designation. Specifically, while the structure may meet the age threshold, we are not currently aware of facts indicating that it has individual architectural significance, significant historical associations, unique community value apart from the broader district context, archaeological significance, or landscape significance sufficient to support individual landmark designation. We welcome staff’s review and will provide additional information requested by Historic Preservation staff. We are submitting an updated combined survey for 700 and 706 E Monroe, including current tree information. No tree removal is proposed as part of this demolition permit application. We are not proposing to impact the critical root zone of any protected or heritage tree or to prune more than 25% of any protected-size tree canopy as part of this application, except as may be separately reviewed and approved by the City. We understand that any required tree protection and erosion/sedimentation controls must be installed and inspected before demolition or removal work occurs. The application materials identify the existing bungalow and the existing accessory shed, approximately 125 square feet. No demolition, relocation, or removal work will occur unless and …
