May 30, 2025 Via Electronic Delivery Austin Lukes, Case Manager City of Austin Historic Preservation Office Permitting and Development Center (PDC) 6310 Wilhelmina Delco Drive Austin, TX 78752 RE: Historic Landmark Commission Meeting- June 4, 2025 - Demolition Applications: • PR-2025-045700 – 604 Copeland St. • PR-2025-044852 – 606 Copeland St. • PR-2025-049503 – 1004 S 1st St. • PR-2025-044914 – 1006 S 1st St. Dear Austin, The Bouldin Creek Neighborhood Association endorses the demolition of these four structures. Given their severely dilapidated condition, relocating them seems unfeasible. We would like Habitat for Humanity to receive any materials that can be safely preserved. If the applicant is agreeable, we request that someone from Habitat for Humanity visit the properties with IntraCorp before demolition begins, so they can identify any items that can be salvaged and donated to Habitat. Sincerely, Greg Smith, President, Bouldin Creek Neighborhood Association CC: Kalan.Contreras@austintexas.gov, Kim.McKnight@austintexas.gov, Melissa.Beeler@austintexas.gov, Zo.Qadri@austintexas.gov preservation@austintexas.gov, Bouldin Creek Neighborhood Association, P.

From: To: Subject: Date: Attachments: Historic Preservation Office Regarding Case Number: PR 2025-041615 Wednesday, June 4, 2025 2:26:50 PM image001.png You don't often get email from . Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution To whom it may concern, as well as Sam Fahnestock, I am writing to oppose the demolition of 607 E 38th Street in Austin’s historic Hancock neighborhood. I live nearby on Texas Avenue, and it is vital that houses original to Hancock remain intact. Hancock is one of the few areas in Austin in which the majority of the original homes remain, and we must preserve Austin’s history as the city grows. This particular property contains a lovely duplex on a shady lot – it is absolutely worth preserving. Every time you permit the demolition of an original house, a bit more of the history that Hancock represents to our city disappears. I urge you to deny the demolition permit request.

I see there are several demolition permits for the properties bounded by MLK, Nueces, Rio Grande and 18th Street. I don’t see any renderings for what is proposed for the site. Did I miss something or are the owners asking to tear down all these buildings without an indication of what will replace them? Is that typical practice for such a large expanse and significant number of buildings? The apartments are still occupied! As you may recall, we have a client with a property adjacent to this area. Not knowing what the plan for the area will be is quite unsettliing for her, as you can imagine. Do you know where I can find more information about the plans for this location? Thanks so much for your help. This is quite a swath of buildings to lose at once. I understand the Jack Brown corner is underutilized, but a huge empty block does with no clear plan does not benefit the neighborhood either. I appreciate any info you can provide!
