1. All trees and natural areas shown on plan to be preserved shall be protected during construction with temporary fencing. 2. Protective fences shall be erected according to City of Austin Standards for Tree Protection. 3. Protective fences shall be installed prior to the start of any site preparation work (clearing, grubbing or grading), and shall be maintained throughout all phases of the construction project. 4. Erosion and sedimentation control barriers shall be installed or maintained in a manner which does not result in soil build-up within tree drip lines. 5. Protective fences shall surround the trees or group of trees, and will be located at the outermost limit of branches (drip line) , for natural areas, protective fences shall follow the Limit of Construction line, in order to prevent the following: A. Soil compaction in the root zone area resulting from vehicular traffic or storage of equipment or materials; B. Root zone disturbances due to grade changes (greater than 6 inches cut or fill), or trenching not reviewed and authorized by the City Aborist; C. Wounds to exposed roots, trunk or limbs by mechanical equipment; D. Other activities detrimental to trees such as chemical storage, cement truck cleaning, and fires. 6. Exceptions to installing fences at tree drip lines may be permitted in the following cases: A. Where there is to be an approved grade change, impermeable paving surface, tree well, or other such site development, erect the fence approximately 2 to 4 feet beyond the area disturbed; B. Where permeable paving is to be installed within a tree's drip line, erect the fence at the outer limits of the permeable paving area (prior to site grading so that this area is graded separately prior to paving installation to minimized root damage); C. Where trees are close to proposed buildings, erect the fence to allow 6 to 10 feet of work space between the fence and the building; D. Where there are severe space constraints due to tract size, or other special requirements, contact the City Arborist at 974-1876 to discuss alternatives. Special Note: For the protection of natural areas, no exceptions to installing fences at the Limit of Construction line will be permitted. 7.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 HR-2022-002112 ROBERTSON/STUART & MAIR HISTORIC DISTRICT 1104 E. 10TH STREET B.5 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct an accessory dwelling unit. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed ADU is two stories in height, with a covered porch and balcony. It is located behind the contributing main house at 1104 E. 10th Street. It is clad in smooth-finish horizontal fiber cement siding and board-and-batten siding. Fenestration includes mulled and single 1:1 windows, fixed two-panel windows, sliders, and glazed metal entry doors. The proposed plan is canted so that the front-facing balcony and porch are directly behind the main house. A spiral staircase allows access to the second floor. DESIGN STANDARDS 1.4. New Construction The Robertson/Stuart & Mair Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: New construction shall have the same street-front orientation and distance from adjacent buildings as the contributing buildings in the same block. The proposed ADU is oriented toward the south, as is the main house. Setbacks for new construction shall be consistent with setbacks of the district’s contributing buildings by taking the average of the existing setbacks of contributing buildings on the same block face, or by aligning with the setback of one adjacent contributing building; this may allow setbacks that are shallower than the base zoning. The proposed building is located at the rear of the lot. Design new buildings so that they are compatible with and differentiated from historic buildings in the district. If designing an addition in a contemporary style, reflect the scale, massing, and/or materials of the historic building; if designing an addition in a style that reflects a style borrowed from surrounding historic buildings, differentiate the scale, massing, and/or materials. The proposed ADU is differentiated from the main house by its two-story height, irregular shape, irregular shed roof, and modern fenestration and cladding materials. While the exterior cladding and fenestration is mostly compatible, the building’s projecting eave at the main elevation, the spiral staircase, and the shed roofline are less compatible. New construction should have floor-to-floor heights and roof heights that are the same or similar to those on contributing buildings throughout the district. The proposed ADU features similar floor-to-floor heights as the contributing house. Select materials for new construction that are the same as or similar to those found on contributing buildings …

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Rebuilding of the one-story connector between the original historic home (ca. 1928) and an adjacent addition (ca. 2003). Recladding of the hyphen’s wall and roof with standing-seam zinc. Removal of Palladian window at the hyphen and entry door at the addition; replacement with a new divided-light steel door with an awning at the hyphen and a window at the addition. 2) Addition of a third window to an existing pair of mulled windows on the north elevation. 3) Removal of the side entry door and gabled hood on the north elevation. 4) Enlargement of the kitchen to the south, involving removal of a portion of the rear (west) elevation.

Elements on the 34th St. (north) elevation proposed for modification include paired 6:6 light windows and a small gabled roof with an arched underside and decorative brackets that shelters a multi-light door. The house became a City of Austin Landmark in 2006, after the addition had been constructed. The Recorded Texas Historic Landmark file from 1999 includes photographs of all sides of the house prior to the addition’s construction.1 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 landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 4. Exterior walls and trim Standard 4.2 indicates that, when patching is required, new siding should have a matching profile. Elevation drawings indicate limited replacement of siding to match existing only in the areas to be modified by proposed work. The project meets this standard. 5. Windows, doors, and screens Standard 5.13 establishes requirements for historic landmarks. It states that window and door openings should not be enlarged, moved, or enclosed except as required by an addition. On the west elevation, a limited area of wall including two windows will be removed to accommodate the addition. These are not significant elements and are on the …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 HR-2021-205974 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 804 RUTHERFORD PLACE C.1– 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish a contributing duplex and detached carport. Construct a new single-family residence with pool and two-story cabana. 1) Total demolition of existing contributing duplex and detached carport. 2) Construction of new single-family residence with pool and two-story cabana. The proposed primary building is two stories with a habitable attic and roof deck. It features an irregular flat, gabled, and shed roofline; fixed-pane and casement full-light fenestration in irregular pattern; stucco cladding; and a front-facing garage. The pool cabana is two stories in height with stucco cladding, a gabled roofline, and fixed-pane windows on two elevations; the west and south secondary elevations are windowless. ARCHITECTURE The 2020 Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register Nomination lists 804 Rutherford Place as the only example of a representative domestic property constructed with a “mixed” architectural style. This unique eclecticism includes Mission, Tudor Revival, and Swiss influences. The nomination’s description is as follows: The small apartment building at 804 Rutherford Place is a good example of an eclectic, mixed design that draws from three styles, in this case Mission Revival, Tudor Revival, and Swiss. The building is two stories in height, with buff- and tan-colored brick walls and a flat roof. The front elevation has a symmetrical arrangement, with a one-story, partial-width entrance volume extending from the rectangular main building volume. The projecting entrance has Tudor Revival details including an arched entrance door, arched hood molding over the door, narrow windows with decorative shutters, and flared wrought iron stair railings. The main two-story volume has little decoration. It has single 1/1 windows on the first floor and two sets of paired 1/1 windows on the second floor. Its modest Mission Revival details are limited to a narrow, divided light, arched window in the center of the upper floor, and a stepped parapet. The Swiss detailing includes the scalloped bargeboard. All window openings have brick sills, and the parapet coping is brick.1 Notably, the building at 806 Rutherford Place is constructed with a similar plan, form, and fenestration pattern, though 806 Rutherford shows only Mission influences. 806 Rutherford was constructed in 1925 by the Austin Real Estate Abstract Company. 803 E. Riverside Drive, constructed by the same company in 1925 and displaying similar Mission styling to 806 Rutherford, is located immediately behind 804 …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 HR-2022-016431; PR 2022-002618 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 1803 KENWOOD AVE C.10. 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish a circa 1937 single-story residence and replace it with a new construction single-family residence. 1) Total demolition of existing contributing single-family residence built in 1937. 2) Construction of new single-family residence with in-ground pool in rear, garage, and carport. The proposed primary building is a two-story minimalist style. It features a compound roofline; fixed-pane and casement full-light fenestration in irregular pattern; dark grey brick on the exterior first story and light-colored exterior stucco cladding on the slightly overhanging second story. The rear second-story elevation has a small rear balcony with a horizontal metal railing overlooking the pool. Designs indicate a side entry garage and direct neighboring carport located in front of the residence with a horizontal wood fence located directly in front of the carport which shields the carport and garage from direct view from the street. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Wood frame, single-story, residential construction on pier and beam foundation. The structure is of the Minimal Traditional style with a side gable with a front-facing cross gable design. It is typical of minimal traditional design with horizontal wood siding, two sets of symmetrical multi-pane, 6:6 wood windows flanked by slim, simple shutters. There is a small, round gable vent in the front-facing gable façade. The single door entry has a concrete landing and is covered with a wooden awning supported by decorative wooden brackets. The awning is a continuation of the asphalt roof. There is a thin, slightly turned metal balustrade and railing on the front concrete steps and landing. Likely built by the prominent dentist and civic activist, Dr. R.L. Struhall in 1937. Dr. Struhall and wife Lillian Parma moved to 1805 Kenwood by 1942. According to City Directories, in 1941, 1803 Kenwood was owned by Raymond W., Jr. and his wife, Marjorie M. Ramsey. Raymond was employed at the R & R Service Station and they lived in the home until at least 1944. The house continued to be occupied short-term according to City Directory records until it was purchased by Donald B. and Elsie A. Ezell who lived in the home till Mr. Ezell’s death in 1961. The Ezell’s owned and operated The Chicken House Café, a restaurant located at 4201 Alice Avenue. Elsie Ezell was also a local high school …
