The buildings’ footprints will then be zoned H per the attached MOU between the Historic Landmark Commission and Austin Convention Center. Interpretive material is proposed for the building’s new location. Should the Red River/East Cesar Chavez Street location prove infeasible, the building will be relocated to Pioneer Farms, where it will serve to educate visitors about early Austin’s buildings, development, and ways of life. The proposal also seeks to apply historic zoning to the Castleman-Bull House’s proposed location in preparation for the …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JULY 2, 2025 DA-2025-055669; HR-2025-057874 HARTHAN STREET HISTORIC DISTRICT 600 HARTHAN STREET 6 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish secondary buildings and construct an addition to a contributing house. Remodel the preserved portion of the contributing house. ARCHITECTURE The historic-age buildings at 600 Harthan Street, constructed between ca. 1910 and the mid-1930s, display Spanish Colonial Revival stylistic influences, though the oldest building on the property was once a Queen Anne structure before its incorporation into a Spanish Revival apartment building. This is the most recent building in the district and exemplifies the evolving design sensibilities of the era. Major additions and renovations took place between 1981 and 1984; however, these do not appear to have precluded the building’s inclusion as a contributing structure in the 2008 district nomination. PROPERTY RESEARCH The buildings at 600 Harthan Street were constructed between the early 1900s and 1984. The earliest building, a Victorian home addressed as 1208 W. 6th Street, was built by the Harthan family after purchasing the lot from the Jernigans, who owned much of the area prior to its turn-of-the-century subdivision.1 Dr. Hans Harthan, a German musician and composer, was the first director of the Austin Symphony2 and taught music out of his home studio. Harthan had served as the director of the Imperial Conservatory in Odessa, Russia, before emigrating to Texas;3 before moving to Austin he had been the Director of Music at Baylor College for about two years.4 Around 1922, Dr. David A. Lane, a dentist, purchased the large property with his family. According to research by Clayton & Little prior to a 2017 remodel application, the ca. 1930 villa constructed on the adjacent lot was designed by Roy C. Lane as part of his thesis at MIT.5 Roy Lane worked primarily as an interior designer. He also volunteered his time as a choirmaster for various congregations; he was a talented opera singer and musician who appeared in numerous local productions. Later in the 1930s, the Lanes commissioned an apartment building to be constructed next to the main house, directly in front of what had been the Harthan residence. After the deaths of his parents, Roy Lane continued to live in the home until at least 1959. Around 1984, a large addition to Lane’s Mediterranean villa designed by Black-Atkinson-Vernooy was constructed on the corner of Harthan Street and W. 6th Street. DESIGN …

May 28, 2025 Riverside Resources 1221 S MoPac Expy, Suite 200 Austin, TX 78746 Attention: Mr. Barrett Lepore Subject: REPORT OF FINDINGS Site: 600 Harthan, Austin, Texas Allana, Buick & Bers, Inc. (ABB) is pleased to present this report of our findings regarding the above referenced project in Austin, Texas. The objective of our review is to determine the condition of the original improvements and determine whether the original materials still exist in pace or if they remain in a condition such that they could be restored. We observed the conditions at the property during a site visit on May 22, 2025. The structures at the site appear to have been significantly altered by renovations and additions since the 1930’s. The East Structure buildings are stucco clad wood framed structures. The 1984 Addition has cracks in the stucco and poor detailing that is susceptible to wood rot due to lack of drainage at soffits. The stucco clad walls at the courtyards have significant cracks exposing the wood framing also due to poor drainage. The stucco at the original 600 Harthan house appears to have been modified, resurfaced, and repainted. The original windows from the residential structures appear to have been discarded and replaced. The West Structure buildings have not been maintained over the past 10 years. It is likely that there is concealed wood rot in the framing due to the age of the structure, cracks observed in the stucco, and poor stucco drainage. The wood framed windows show signs of wood rot. Given the major renovations including roof replacements, exterior stucco application/replacement and window size/material changes, it is our conclusion that the original exterior materials that can be refurbished are limited to Building A. The original materials at the remaining structures are mostly missing or are in a condition that would not be refurbished due to their more recent installation. 835 W 6th St., Suite 1410, Austin, TX 78701 Riverside Resources May 28, 2025 Page 2 The following summarizes our observations. West Structure Building A – Two Story Multi-Family Structure • Stucco: Likely original materials. • Windows: Likely original materials. • Roofing: Unknown. • Integrity for restoration: The stucco will require extensive repairs due to concealed wood rot. The windows could be repaired and refurbished. The roofing cannot be refurbished. Building B - 1920’s Victorian – • Stucco: Retrofit over original siding. • Windows: Not original windows. • Roofing: …

Steering Committee Members: Stephen L. Amos, Chair Renae Alsobrook, Mark Ashby, Evelyn Fujimoto, Adrienne Goldsberry, Paula Hern, Nick Mehl, William Osborn, Charlie Rice, Paul Shattuck, Shawn Shillington, Erika Tatum, Meghan Yancy May 13, 2025 Subject: OWANA Position on Proposed Demolition at 600 Harthan Street - 2025-055669 DA Dear Chair Heimsath and Members of the Historic Landmark Commission, The Old West Austin Neighborhood Association (OWANA) Zoning Committee and Steering Committee have voted not to oppose the proposed demolition of the structure located at 600 Harthan Street. The building has remained vacant and in a state of neglect for over a decade, presenting significant challenges to preservation efforts. The Zoning Committee met with representatives from Riverside Resources to review early plans for the redevelopment of the site, envisioned as part of the overall concept for 1214 W 6th Street. The concept presented envisions a continuation of small-scale shops and offices along the north side of West 6th Street, designed to complement the Sixth & Blanco project now under construction. The proposed development is intended to reflect appropriate scale and massing in accordance with the design guidelines of the Harthan Local Historic District (LHD), and to ensure compatibility with the character of both the Harthan and Castle Hill Local Historic Districts. The project aspires to create a vibrant, pedestrian-oriented space where residents and visitors can shop, dine, and engage with the community. Given the long-term condition of the property and the thoughtful nature of the proposed redevelopment, OWANA believes it is appropriate to defer to the judgment of the Historic Landmark Commission in this matter. Sincerely, Stephen L. Amos Steering Committee Chair Old West Austin Neighborhood Association

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JULY 2, 2025 PR-2025-060653; HR-2025-070716 MARY STREET HISTORIC DISTRICT 515 EAST MARY STREET 7.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a rear two-story addition. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct an addition at the rear of the existing house, which contributes to the Mary Street local historic district. This addition is proposed to be two-stories in height and primarily located to the southeast of the existing house. ARCHITECTURE The property at 515 East Mary Street is set on a slightly sloping elevation, with the house one an elevated crawlspace foundation clad in concrete skirting. The front elevation features a center door with a double gable above, as well as a set of paired windows on either side. The walls are all clad in a thin teardrop siding and, like the door and windows, appears to be original material. From the street, the house appears to be modest in size and ornament, with the most decoration being located at the gable sheltering the front door and supported with decorative wood brackets. DESIGN STANDARDS The Mary Street Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Contributing Properties: Additions 1. Location While the proposed addition is two stories, it will be minimally visible and set behind the main house. However, Standard (1c) does call for additions, wherever possible, to be shorter and narrower than the main house. In this case, it is neither, though the new dimensions do not exceed the original house by much on any side. 2. Height The proposed addition does not exceed the height of the tallest contributing building in the district on a similar sized lot. 3. Design and Style The design of the addition is generally subordinate to the existing structure. At the second floor, the footprint of the addition is smaller to reduce visual impact when viewing from the street. 4. Exterior Walls Horizontal siding is proposed for the addition, but of a different profile from the original so as not to appear historicizing. Overall, the walls complement the original is similar ways to other approved additions in the district. 5. Porches No new front porch or similar is proposed. 6. Roofs The addition features a roof structure that ties in as seamlessly as possible to the main house, given that the addition is proposed to be two stories. Roof pitch …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JULY 2, 2025 HR-2025-071055 TRASK HOUSE 217 RED RIVER STREET 8 – 1 PROPOSAL Relocate the Trask House in accordance with City Council Resolution No. 20250605-022, directing staff to facilitate the rezoning of Convention Center properties. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Relocate the Trask House and its outbuilding to Convention Center property near the corner of Red River Street and East Cesar Chavez Street, approximately their original locations per Sanborn maps. The buildings’ current site at 217 Red River Street will be used for the construction of a new underground chiller facility. Historic zoning will be removed from 217 Red River Street and reapplied to the new site when the house reaches its final location, per memorandum of agreement. Should relocation to the Convention Center property prove impossible, the building will be relocated to Pioneer Farms, where it will serve to educate visitors about early Austin’s buildings, development, and ways of life. 1) Prepare the buildings for moving, including bracing and photographic documentation. See backup for example plan. 2) Move the buildings to a temporary staging area on E. 3rd Street for storage during Convention Center construction, mothballing according to best practices outlined by the National Parks Service. The masonry structure will be lifted off its non-historic foundation and the limestone masonry veneer and porch pier brick material will be tagged and salvaged for reapplication. The wood porch will be detached from the masonry structure and protected for reattachment at the final location. 3) Move the buildings to their final location and reattach masonry and porch. Integrate structures with new landscaping and install interpretive signage. Request historic zoning for building footprints at new site per MOU. ARCHITECTURE The 1974 historic zoning application describes the house as a “typical one-story Greek Revival residence with attached portico,” constructed from limestone with a traditional saltbox form. It also mentions the one-story stone outbuilding and identifies it as the kitchen, though its original use is not confirmed. 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: Demolition and Relocation 1.1 Do not demolish or relocate a historic building. 1.2 If demolition or relocation is necessary, ensure the safety of the building and any adjacent properties before, during, and …

Introduction Relocating historical stone and brick buildings is an intricate and sensitive process. These structures are often fragile due to age, original construction techniques, and exposure to environmental con- ditions over time. Preserving their integrity requires extensive planning, precision, and collaboration among engineers, architects, historians, and preservation specialists. This report outlines the key steps and considerations involved in moving these buildings, with a focus on pre-move assessments, engineering design, stabilization, and execution. 2. Preliminary Assessments and Planning Before any physical work begins on site, hundreds of hours are spent evaluating the building and planning the safest and most practical relocation method. Key activities in this stage include: 2.1 Historical Research • Document the building's historical significance, construction date, and architectural features. • Review archival records, blueprints, and any previous modifications or restoration work. 2.2 Site Survey and Structural Assessment • Conduct a detailed survey of the existing site and building footprint. • Evaluate the structural integrity of the stone and brickwork, including mortar condition and internal framing. • Identify areas of weakness, instability, or prior damage. 2.3 Documentation and Measurement • Create accurate drawings of the building. • Record all architectural details to ensure faithful reconstruction if needed. • Photograph and catalogue each section for reference and potential reconstruction. 3. Engineering Analysis and Relocation Planning 3.1 Structural Calculations • Perform load calculations to determine the weight and stress distribution across the structure. • Assess foundation and soil conditions at both the existing and new sites. 3.2 Method Selection • Decide between full-structure relocation, partial disassembly and reassembly, or façade preser- vation. • Choose a transportation method 3.3 Risk Assessment and Mitigation Planning • Identify potential risks during lifting, transport, and reinstallation. • Develop contingency plans for areas of concern during the loading method. 4. Pre-Move Stabilization and Preparation 4.1 Structural Reinforcement • Install internal and external bracing to prevent collapse or deformation during the move. • Reinforce weak areas using reversible and non-invasive techniques. 4.2 Disconnection and Excavation • Safely disconnect utilities and services. • Excavate around the foundation to install lifting steel or prepare for undercutting. 4.3 Permitting and …

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Prepare the building for moving, including bracing and photographic documentation. 2) Move the building to a temporary staging area on E. 3rd Street for storage during Convention Center construction, mothballing according to best practices outlined by the National Parks Service. The masonry structure will be lifted off its non-historic foundation and the limestone masonry veneer and porch pier brick material will be removed and tagged for replacement on the structure in its final location. Non-historic exterior stairs and planters will also be removed. The wood porch will be detached from the masonry structure and protected for reattachment at the final location. 3) Move the building to its final location within the newly H-zoned portion of the property, rotating it 90 degrees to face the Waterloo Greenway trailhead. See site plan in backup. ARCHITECTURE Two-story rectangular structure with elements of the Italianate style, including a low-pitched roof, overhanging eaves set on decorative brackets, tall and narrow arched windows with hooded trim, and a one-story porch across the front façade. The house is symmetrical in plan, each floor having a center hall flanked by two square rooms with fireplaces in the interior walls. 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: Demolition and Relocation 1.1 Do not demolish or relocate a historic building. 1.2 If demolition or relocation is necessary, ensure the safety of the building and any adjacent properties before, during, and afterwards. The applicants have evaluated multiple alternatives to relocation and have determined that moving the house is the only way to preserve it as the Convention Center expands. Rotating the house, which has already been moved from its original location on E. 7th Street in 2001, will not further impact its historic context. The proposal includes appropriate measures to ensure the safety of the building before, during, and after relocation. Applicants have conferred with the Architectural Review Committee to discuss options for relocation and mothballing during any required storage periods. …

09.3 - 201 Red River St - Castleman-Bull House - Building Preparations — original pdf
DODSON HOUSE MOVING, LLC P.O. Box 240339 San Antonio, TX 78224 Building Preparations The initial phase of work on the Trask and Castleman Bull houses involves structural preparations to ensure the buildings are secure and ready for relocation. These tasks will be needed regardless of the storage location. However, should the relocation distance be greater than a quarter to half mile from the current location, the preparation tasks will increase. The key functions include: • Bracing Windows and Doors: We will install temporary bracing to stabilize all windows and doors. We will install plywood over all openings to help secure the buildings for storage. This step is essential to protect these fragile elements during subsequent work. • Removing and Bracing Porches: The existing porch will be carefully removed and braced to allow access and facilitate further structural work. • Preparing Beam Pockets: The beam pockets will be cut out and ready to receive steel support, which will provide the necessary strength for lifting and moving the structures. • Excavation and demolition: Start removing concrete around structures and excavating down to the steel installation level. • Steel Cable Wrapping and Compression: Both structures will be entirely, securely wrapped with steel cable and compressed to reinforce the structure and prevent any shifting or damage. • Clearing AC Ducts and Lines: All air conditioning ducts and related lines will be removed or relocated to create a clear space for steel installation. • Steel Installation: We will begin installing steel supports around the house to prepare for the lift. Importantly, no lifting or detachment from the foundation will occur until the appropriate permits have been obtained. The above work will help expedite the loading phase and shorten the timeline. If we need to remove some of the above steps, that's fine; whatever they will allow us to start on will help with the timeline. Gator Dodson

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JULY 2, 2025 HR-2025-060692 HYDE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 4411 AVENUE B 10.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a rear two-story addition. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct an addition at the rear of the existing house, which contributes to the Mary Street local historic district. Addition is proposed to be two-stories in height and located directly behind the existing one-story building. ARCHITECTURE The house at 4411 Avenue B is a single-story house with a corner inset porch that is supported by two wood posts. The building is elevated on piers with the crawlspace covered in a concrete skirt. The walls are clad in narrow teardrop siding with fascia above. A hipped roof clad in metal covers the entire house and is set at a moderate pitch. The front and side windows all appear to be original wood frames and covered in screens. The front entry is at the rear of the inset porch. Overall, the house has excellent integrity and is good condition. DESIGN STANDARDS The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 4. Residential Standards: Additions to Contributing Single Family and Multi-Family Structures 4.1. Preservation of Historic Character Any removal of original fabric is located entirely at the rear elevation. Though a two-story addition, it excellently reflects the form and style of the main house and overall district. 4.2. Location Addition is at the rear and will be minimally visible from the street. 4.3. Roof, Fenestration, and Siding Roof pitch and form matches the existing front house. Though likely not visible from the street, two second story windows on the front elevation are matching the configuration of the historic. Proposed siding is compatible with the existing. 4.4. Size and Scale of Addition Both floors of the addition match the floor-to-ceiling height of the original house. Second floor does not begin until over 15 feet from the front of the house and does not visually overwhelm the building. Summary The project meets the applicable standards. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK Reduce the overall verticality of the addition if possible and refine the roof pitch to further reduce the visibility of the addition from the street. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the application. LOCATION MAP 10.0 – 2 PROPERTY INFORMATION Photos 10.0 – 3 Permit application, 2025 Zillow listing, 2025

If you are making changes to a contributing property or constructing a new building within a National Register historic district, consider the standards below as advisory guidelines: 1. Use a property for its historic purpose or place it in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment. 2. Retain and preserve the historic character or a property shall be retained and preserved. Avoid the removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property. 3. Recognize each property as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken. 4. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved. 5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a historic property shall be preserved. 6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JULY 2, 2025 HR-2025-073763 GREEN PASTURES 811 WEST LIVE OAK STREET 12.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a new hotel building on the grounds of a landmarked property. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS To the northwest of the existing historic house, construct a three-story hotel building containing 36 guest rooms, spa, pool, and fitness area. Construction will also include site work as part of Phase 3 of a larger project across the Green Pastures complex. Previous phases were presented to HLC and received a Certificate of Appropriateness in November 2022. ARCHITECTURE Green Pastures was built circa 1895 and designated a local historic landmark in 1979. The historic house sits in the approximate center of the property. In addition to the building, the landscaping of large oak trees is a character defining feature of the landmarked property. A previously approved hotel building is located at the southeast corner of the property. 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: Commercial new construction 1. Location The proposed hotel is set to the side of the property, in a corner which allows adequate space between its location and the historic structure. It is proposed to be oriented towards the historic in keeping with the general movement plan of the property. 2. Scale, massing, and height Though the hotel is three stories, its vertical appearance is minimized through its width and other horizontal design elements. Renderings indicate that it will be level with numerous tree canopies on the property, and only slightly taller than the hipped roof of the historic house. 3. Design and style Though very modern in design, choices in color and finishes generally mute the appearance and allow the hotel to fade visually amongst the site features and urban context. Design choices are also compatible with the previously approved hotel construction, which creates a uniformity amongst new construction approved on the site. 4. Materials The materials proposed read as contemporary. Cladding elements emphasize the horizontality with the goal of reducing the vertical appearance of the three-story structure. 5. Storefronts Throughout the property, the pedestrian scale is prioritized, with the hotel and spa designed to be approved on foot or through human-scale methods. 6. Parking structures …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JULY 2, 2025 PR-2025-029950; GF-2025-033059; HR-2025-056344 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 1703 ALAMEDA DRIVE 14.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1939 house and construct a residence. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish the existing one-story house, which contributes to the National Register district. Construct a two-story house in generally the same location on the lot. ARCHITECTURE Built in a simple, minimal traditional form, the house at 1703 Alameda Drive is set at grade slightly above the street and is rectangular in plan with a small front porch cutout at one corner. The exterior is clad in horizontal wood siding, and original screen are present at the four front windows, along with a screen door at the rear of the porch for the main entry. There is minimal overhang from the hipped roof, which is clad in composition shingle. The house features numerous windows on all sides, typically paired or arranged in three units, side-by-side. A pier-and-beam foundation supports the one-story structure. The house is in good condition and has seen minimal alterations since construction. RESEARCH After construction around 1939, the house was first owned by Hiram & Doris Brown, who worked at local businesses such as Texas Cleaners & Shoe Repair. The Browns owned the property through World War II, and shortly after was sold to Charles & Bertha Kinney. Charles Kinney worked as a salesman and Bertha worked for many years as a clerk at the Internal Revenue Service. For a time, their adult son lived with them while attending the University of Texas. 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 in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location Proposed construction is generally on the same footprint as the existing house and matches setback to other houses on the street. 2. Orientation The proposed residence is oriented towards the street, like the existing house and neighbors on the same street. 3. Scale, massing, and height Generally, the neighbors on the same street have single-story houses or, if there is a second floor, it is setback from the front or visually hidden by a side-gabled roof. There is no setback in this design, nor does the plan call for breaking up the height …

1703 Alameda Historic Landmark Commission Response Introduction We are pleased to submit this architectural proposal for a modest guest house designed in partnership with well known local architects for a young family living in the adjacent home. Unfortunately, we aren’t able to make the meeting, but we remain fully committed to the process. The homeowners—Austin residents with two small children—purchased the neighboring property to create a dedicated space for their elderly mother as well as enhance their outdoor living environment with a park-like setting. Jack Boothe Construction built their current home and has now been entrusted to lead this project as well, with the shared goal of creating a thoughtful, cohesive addition to their property. Over the past decade, Jack Boothe Construction completed several high-quality homes in Travis Heights. We have the reputation to always build with great care to complement the fabric of the neighborhood. We welcome thoughtful feedback from the Committee that can help refine and improve this plan as we continue our commitment to building responsibly and respectfully within this historic community. Scale, massing, and height • HLC Comment: Generally, the neighbors on the same street have single-story houses or, if there is a second floor, it is setback from the front or visually hidden by a side-gabled roof. There is no setback in this design, nor does the plan call for breaking up the height visually from the ground to the top of the second story. • Reply: Both adjacent properties—one of which is a contributing structure—are two-story homes. The proposed second story at 1703 Alameda has been carefully designed with thoughtful setbacks to reduce visual impact: 12 feet from the leftmost forward wall, 4 feet from the front of the porch, and 13 feet from the rightmost portion of the front-facing wall. Additionally, the front porch features its own distinct roofline, which further helps to break up the vertical massing and soften the visual transition from the ground level to the second story. • HLC Comment: The massing features the two-story central mass with a projecting front garage and a corner bedroom on the ground floor, along with a kitchen and living room at the rear.” • Reply: The two-story central mass of 1703 Alameda is set back from the projecting front-facing garage and the corner bedroom on the ground floor. A covered front porch, positioned between these two elements, further breaks up the front …

1703 Alameda Response to questions posed at ARC • Comment made: • Design/Exterior Materials: • Questions about consistency and appropriateness in the historic setting. • Observed that the design appears to take inspiration from a new neighboring house (stucco), rather than fitting the established character of the street. • Response • We have reconsidered using stucco as the primary siding and will be using a combination of Siding from the 1700 Block of contributing houses. Which include: • Board and Batton • Horizontal Siding • Brick/Stone • Renderings and drawings have not been updated as the turnaround time was short, but will re-submit ASAP. Introduction – Response to questions posed at ARC. • Comment made: • Garage Placement and Grade Issues: • Concerns about the garage being set lower relative to the main floor, producing a split-level effect. • Questions about the site plan's handling of natural grade and the garage's elevation, with some confusion based on the submitted drawings. • Excavation is being used to keep the building's profile lower, but this may create practical or visual inconsistencies. • Response • 5’ elevation gain (526’-532’) in house footprint • Visitability of the entire main living area was the primary focus • Combination of excavation in the back yard to help reduce the overall height of the house and grading in the front of the house to help blend the driveway to the natural grade will be used. Introduction – Response to questions posed at ARC. • Comment made: • Suggestions included reconsidering the prominent arch (possibly removing it or replacing with a framed opening) to help scale and reduce visual disjunction. • Response • The Arch will be removed and replaced with a framed opening (Arch still present in Included Renderings).
