Ruiz Setting the record straight ; Heimsath, Ben - BC; Papavasiliou, Alexander - *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** It is my understanding that Paradisa Homes claims the Clarksville Community Development Corporation (CCDC) gave its "seal of approval" to the company's plans for 1104 Toyath Street (Item C.3 on the HLC's August 27th agenda). That is not completely accurate. As background: On March 16th of this year, Aubrey Carter, Gregory Tran and I ‐‐ all CCDC board members ‐‐ met via Zoom with Luis Zaragoza, a representative of Paradisa Homes, after we learned that the company had applied to demolish the historically contributing home located at that address. Although we wanted Paradisa to rehabilitate the home, we knew that was unlikely to happen because the company is in the home building business. Also, we recognized that given Austin's current historic preservation ordinance, it was highly unlikely that 1104 Toyath would be zoned historic against the wishes of the owner. Therefore our goal during the meeting was to make the new home Paradisa planned to build as unobjectionable as possible. In other words, we wanted to do damage control. At the meeting, Mr. Zaragoza shared a drawing of the front of the home Paradisa planned to build. It appeared to be 2‐ stories with a large front porch and a double garage facing the street. The home's front facade was made of board and batten siding, like many Clarksville homes. (We were happy about that and about the size of the porch.) I don't remember everything we talked about given that the meeting took place 6 months ago, but I do know that we asked Luis to move the garage to the back of the house, which Paradisa did. Once we saw a drawing of the house that reflected this change, we told Luis that we would not fight the demo. Then last month, we learned that in fact, the home Paradisa wants to build will be 3‐stories with a roof deck!!! A very different house than …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-2021-134048 1901 HAMILTON AVENUE D.10 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1939 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story side gabled bungalow with modest Tudor Revival influences, including steeply pitched roof over porch stoop. Siding has been replaced with aluminum and a stone veneer wainscot. Windows have also been replaced. The house at 1901 Hamilton Avenue was occupied from 1941–1947 by the family of Elbert and Lillian Watkins. They lived in the house with their 4 children before George and Jewel Slaughter moved into the house sometime around 1948. The Watkins family also built a house and owned a grocery store across the alley at 1125 Chicon St. prior to the construction of 1901 Hamilton Ave. George Slaughter worked as a driver, construction worker, and laborer. Lillian Watkins owned and operated Happy Hour Beauty Shop from 1949 to 1952 at the property. She later went on to work as cosmetologist at the Austin State Hospital. PROPERTY EVALUATION The East Austin Historic Resources Survey (Hardy Heck Moore, Inc., 2016) does not indicate the property is eligible for historic designation. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building retains a moderate degree of integrity. Siding and windows have been replaced. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (Land Development Code §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building is an example of a frame bungalow with modest Tudor Revival influences, but modifications compromise the house’s ability to convey any architectural significance. b. Historical association. The house does not appear to have significant historical associations; however, the Commission may wish to consider the impact of home businesses—particularly beauty and barber shops owned and operated by women of color—on East Austin’s historic culture and development patterns. 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 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 is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city.

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH PROPERTY EVALUATION One-story front-gabled Craftsman bungalow clad in wood siding with 1:1 wood windows. The gable end has knee braces and a small window. The house originally had a full-width, integral porch that has been partially infilled; while the siding in this area matches the rest of the house, a wide, horizontal window punctuates the front wall. The other end of the porch is supported by a square post, and the porch steps, ramp, and handrail are not original. The house located at 1902 Tillitson Avenue was first occupied by William B. and Leila Moore from 1932–1949. Leila Moore worked as a maid at the Driskill Hotel from 1935 until 1944. She opened the Leila Moore Beauty Shop, where she and William both worked from 1944–1949. The house was vacant in 1952 and was later occupied by various renters. The East Austin Historic Resources Survey (Hardy Heck Moore, Inc., 2016) recommends this house as contributing to the potential College Heights Historic District, which is recommended for local or National Register designation. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building retains a moderate degree of integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (Land Development Code §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building is a typical example of a Craftsman bungalow but has modifications to the porch. b. Historical association. The house does not 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.

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH PROPERTY EVALUATION Single-story, side-gabled Minimal Traditional house with a central gabled porch stoop flanked by paired 1:1 windows with awnings. The house is clad in horizontal wood siding and has a metal roof. The house at 908 Columbus Street was occupied from 1937–1939 by the family of Morris D. and Birdie Scheid. Morris Scheid worked at the State Comptroller Department. The next owners of the house were John A. and Bernice Reed, who lived in the house briefly in 1941. The longest owners of the house were Luther M. and Ruby Leath, who owned the house from 1947–1959. Luther worked as a life insurance agent, and Ruby worked as a saleswoman. The Bouldin Creek Neighborhood Historic Resources Survey and Assessment (Preservation Central, Inc., 2016) lists the property as contributing to the potential Bon Air Historic District, recommended as eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and as a local historic district.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A DEMOLITION PERMIT IN A NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-21-113815 WILLOW-SPENCE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 82 SAN MARCOS STREET C.5 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish two ca. 1941 houses. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Two one-story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled, frame cottages on the same lot. The houses have a central entry topped with a front-gabled entry hood; paired 1:1 fenestration, some with decorative 3:1 wood screens. There is a building permit in city records evidencing construction of these houses in 1941; the Sanborn map of 1935 shows different houses on this site, and the 1962 Sanborn map shows the current houses. The 1941 building permits reflect construction by Louis Bonugli, who operated a neighborhood grocery store just a block from this site, and who invested in neighborhood real estate. Bonugli and his family lived at 80 San Marcos intermittently in the late 1940s and early 1950s, but in other years, the family is listed at their grocery store 78 San Marcos, likely to earn additional income from renting the house at 80 San Marcos. The house at 82 San Marcos was built as a rental unit. The house at 82 San Marcos was home to only two families during much of the historic period, one of whom lived in an earlier house on this site. The first residents of the house were Willie L. and Allie Smith, who lived here until around 1943, and had lived in the earlier house on this site since the early 1930s. Willie Smith was an auto mechanic. Raymond and Angie Miller moved into the house around 1943 and rented the house until around 1950. Raymond Miller was taxi driver who later opened his own filling station while living in this house. Angie Miller worked at Woolworth’s a downtown discount department store. PROPERTY EVALUATION The houses are listed as non-contributing to the Willow Spence National Register Historic District, but staff questions that determination, as they are intact examples of vernacular residential design that would be contributing to the historic district if evaluated today. The Willow-Spence National Register Historic District was nominated in 1985, when the houses would not have qualified under the 50-year threshold; the district nomination does not shed any light on the justification for the determination. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The buildings are more than 50 years old. 2) The buildings appear to retain high integrity. 3) Properties must meet …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-2021-121884 1204 E. 6TH STREET D.6 – 1 PROPOSAL Relocate a ca. 1900 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story wing-and-gable Folk Victorian house with traditional cornice returns and eave detailing at gable end, a partial- width inset front porch with shed roof supported by chamfered columns with molding, a split transom window above the front door, and 4:4 paired and single wood windows throughout. Archival photos show that the porch’s jigsawn trim has been removed. The date of the house is uncertain. While the house appears to be ca. 1900, occupants are listed as early as 1885 at an earlier address for the property. Sanborn Fire Insurance maps first show this area in 1894, and the house has the same footprint. Travis Central Appraisal District records list the date as 1907. Wastewater service was first supplied in 1917. Frank Torrens, a German carpenter and woodcarver, lived at 1206 E. Pecan/E. 6th St. between 1885 and 1888. It briefly served as a boardinghouse. Frank Zakrison lived in the house from 1903–1935, and Lillie and Anna Zakrison also lived in the house during that time. Frank Zakrison was a listed as a baker and owning a bakery at 1200 E. 6th Street in the 1912 directory. Lillie Zakrison owned the house in 1935. The lot next door to 1204 E. 6th St., which later became a tortilleria in the mid-twentieth century, was occupied by another Swedish family, the Malmbergs, during the time of the Zakrisons' residence at the turn of the century. This contextual evidence speaks to a close-knit community of recent Swedish immigrants to Austin in the area, as well as the later shift from European immigrants to Mexican American families in the general area. The house was occupied by renters from 1937–1944, notably the Sandoval family rented the house from 1941–1944. Flavio C. Sandoval was a prominent Mexican American grocer who had at least two retail locations at 1103 E. 6th and 1200 Rosewood Ave. Fermin G. and Cristina Sanchez occupied the house from 1947–1959 first listed as renters and later as owners. Fermin Sanchez worked as a construction worker and laborer. PROPERTY EVALUATION The East Austin Historic Resources Survey (Hardy Heck Moore, Inc., 2016) recommends this house as a potential local landmark as well as contributing to the potential East Sixth Street Historic District, which is recommended as eligible for local …

C.1.d - 1805 Waterston Ave - citizen comment — original pdf
Clarksville. C.1. PR-2021-055578, 1805 Waterston Avenue My name is Mary Reed and I am speaking on behalf of the Clarksville Community Development Corporation (CCDC) as its board president. We are the neighborhood organization for historic We oppose release of a demo permit for 1805 Waterston Avenue for several reasons in addition to the fact that the home contributes to the Clarksville National Register Historic District. • First, the home at this address is not in a state of disrepair – it’s a fully remodeled home that Nalle Custom Homes purchased for over a million dollars! • Second, it makes no sense from an environmental standpoint to send a perfectly good house to the landfill. • Third, the new house Nalle wants to build will make Clarksville even less affordable than it is now and may very well force some current residents who are already struggling with the cost of housing in the neighborhood to move. • And finally, Nalle’s proposed new home is totally inappropriate for Clarksville. For starters, it’s too busy, too big, too tall, it’s architecture is incompatible with the simple traditional architecture of the neighborhood, it features brick accents and a brick chimney – brick is not a building material used in Clarksville -- and it has double front-facing garages. The house design may be appropriate for Tarrytown, Westlake, or suburbia, but not for Clarksville. Since June 3, when representatives of the CCDC first met with Jesse Nalle of Nalle Custom Homes, we have tried to get the company to revise its plans to make them more Clarksville. We provided him with specific suggestions and also recommended that he drive around Clarksville to get a sense of the neighborhood. Initially, Mr. Nalle appeared very open to our thoughts and ideas and said that he would send us new plans based on our comments. Over the ensuing months in email exchanges with him, he repeatedly promised that new plans would be coming, but we have seen nothing. In fact, the drawings in the backup materials for this case are exactly what we saw when we met with Mr. Nalle nearly four months ago. The CCDC asks that therefore that you deny the requested demo permit and ask Nalle Custom Homes to meet with members of the Architectural Review Committee for specific guidance on designing a home that is in keeping with historic Clarksville. Thank you.

C.3.e - 1104 Toyath St - citizen comment — original pdf
C.3. HR-2021-115725, 1104 Toyath My name is Mary Reed and I am speaking on behalf of the Clarksville Community Development Corporation (CCDC) as its board president. We object to the plans for the new home Paradisa Homes wants to build at 1104 Toyath because it’s incompatible with other homes on the street and with the mass and scale of traditional Clarksville architecture. Aside from the board and batten siding, Paradisa seems to have assumed that the kind of home it builds in other neighborhoods, mostly non-historic neighborhoods from what we can tell by visiting the company’s website, would be appropriate for Clarksville. Paradisa Homes also appears to have overlooked the impact of their home’s height on its neighbors and especially on the Lawson House, the landmarked home next door. It will loom over that house. Furthermore, the roof deck ensures that the next door neighbors on Toyath as well as several neighbors in the 1800 block of West 11th whose backyards abut the back yard of 1104, will lose their privacy. We would like Paradisa go back to the drawing board and design a home more fitting for Clarksville and for the 1100 block of Toyath in particular. Thank you.

We have lived in Travis Heights since 1998 and love the character, trees, and community of our neighborhood. There are many historic structures throughout the neighborhood, and we certainly support preserving the character and scale while also supporting updates and improvements that enhance the overall quality of the neighborhood in an appropriate way. We are around the corner from our neighbors Paige and Andy Hart who have shared the renovation plans by Merzbau Design Collective. We find the changes to be appropriate and attractive. With updates to siding, roof, and windows that preserves the cottage structure and maintains the street scale, we support their proposal that will enhance the overall quality of the Boulevard.

I am fine with the demolition but want assurance that the demolition will follow the guidelines of demolition with asbestos siding. I worry about the long term safety of the surrounding area and neighborhood and how demolition of a house with asbestos siding may cause asbestos dust. From my understanding, a hose on the demolition during the demolition would not be enough. I believe the siding needs to be removed prior to demolition.

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Nathan Wilkes Sunday, September 26, 2021 3:56 PM Allen, Amber GF 21-135466 Object to Demolition in Historic District *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** In looking at the house I feel that the quality is such that it should be preserved and any renovations be required to preserve its character. The house appears to be traditional wood framed with horizontal wood siding with protruding front porch indicative of traditional houses in the neighborhood and better quality than board and batton construction that is sometimes seen. With the ADU ordinance (I'm generally supportive of density and AUDs) there is now tremendous economic pressure to remove these type of old structures for new double units that sell $1.5‐2 million. This economic pressure puts extreme pricing pressure on this neighborhood and undermines assets like these in this historic district.

Furthermore, any renovations to such units should be required to preserve its character. With the ridiculous cost of housing in this neighborhood, there is tremendous pressure to remove these type of old structures for big new units that sell $1.5‐2 million. As a result, or neighborhood has largely lost many remnants of its historic character (not to mention that many of the residents for whom the Historic Black District designation was given can no longer afford to live here.. But I digress). Tearing down well made historic homes in the area only adds to the economic pressure on the neighborhood and also sends housing materials that are far superior to those being used today to the landfill. If you can't save the house on site, please at least mandate that it be relocated.. But ideally, keep it in tact on site.
