TRAVIS COUNTY HISTORICAL COMMISSION Austin, Texas January 28, 2022 To: City of Austin Zoning and Platting, # C14H-2021-0164 The Travis County Historical Commission would like to support historic zoning for the property located at 2502 Park View Drive, Austin. This property is part of Allandale’s Air Conditioned Village, a 1954 era development meant to highlight the use and appeal of central air conditioning for middle income housing. It was the first of its kind, worldwide, and used by homebuilders and University of Texas scientists to assess the effectiveness of the systems along with associated features such as site orientation, landscaping, paint and overhangs. The house maintains its integrity and historical significance and deserves protection and future interpretation. It was designed by local architect Fred Day and meets the criteria for historic zoning under the current code for architecture, historical association and community value. The current demolition request would destroy one of the few remaining Air Conditioned Village properties and leave Austin without this important historical asset. We join other preservation organizations including Preservation Austin and Mid Tex Mod in requesting that a demolition permit not be approved and that the site be awarded historic zoning. Respectfully, James Robert “Bob” Ward Chair Travis County Historical Commission

However, I will also take this opportunity to inform you of a recent action of the Board. I support preservation of 2502 Park View Avenue, on the grounds of its historic value. My wife and I have long enjoyed seeing the house on walks around the neighborhood, and we appreciated the tour of the Air Conditioned Village organized by MidTexMod a few years ago. It’s rewarding to know something of the history of one’s neighborhood. Construction of the Air Conditioned Village began in 1953. All 22 homes had central air conditioning equipment furnished by a variety of manufacturers. Rather than being named for their original owners like the Scarborough House and similar grand mansions, these houses were named for their air conditioners. 2502 Park View Avenue was called the Chrysler Air-Temp House. In addition to central air, the houses had ventilation in attics, kitchens, and bathrooms, windows positioned to avoid strong sun, insulated walls, and roofs with overhangs and carports to create more shade. Energy-efficient features specific to this house include its south-facing orientation, the low-pitched roof with four-foot overhangs, clerestory windows with heat-absorbing glass to reduce heat load, and a large carport to the southwest. Even back then, Austin was a leader in green building! Starting in 1954, the homes and the families living in them were part of a year-long study of the technical, economic, and social aspects of air conditioning in smaller homes. This study encouraged the adoption of air conditioning in such homes, and it influenced the loan policies of FHA and other lenders to make it easier for people of modest means to purchase a home with air conditioning. Many in Allandale appreciate the history of the neighborhood, and hope some of its material …
From: To: Subject: Date: Rhoades, Wendy Re: For ZAP 2-1-2022 C14-2021-0161 - West William Cannon Housing Sunday, January 30, 2022 9:05:15 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Hello Ms. Rhoades, I'm writing to submit additional comments for the Zoning and Platting Commission meeting on the 1st, if it's not too late. I am adding an additional concern that I thought of since submitting my original correspondence. Please excuse what I have repeated in my emails/comments for the sake of keeping this in one document. I live on William Cannon very close to the multifamily residence intended to be built at 3101 W. William Cannon Drive. (Case number C14-2021-0161) I am extremely troubled by this plan for a multifamily resident, or any building, to be built there. This part of William Cannon is already overly congested. The traffic would make it almost impossible for me to turn out of my home onto William Cannon; it's already very difficult as it is. I'm additionally troubled by the noise, light, and air pollution the construction of a 300-unit multifamily residence would create in this already crowded part of William Cannon. For those who contend the addition of this apartment complex would reduce the cost of living, I would invite you to consider whether or not Austin's cost of living has increased or decreased in the past 10 years as the construction of multi-family residential buildings has exploded all over the city. With all due respect to the individuals who make this argument, you must either be lying or in denial yourself. I've lived here for 11 years and can attest to the fact the cost of living has only increased dramatically, and we have more apartment complexes than ever. I am no longer able to live in the neighborhoods I used to live in because of how expensive they've become, in spite of how many new residential buildings there are. I am far from the only person and family tragically affected by this. Most importantly, we cannot afford to continue building apartments in these untouched green spaces. We are losing too many and this once beautiful green city is turning into a concrete parking lot with plywood condos built in every green space we have left. Not only is this project proposed to destroy another beautiful, untouched green space, it is proposed to destroy an actual nature preserve. There are many …
