HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 7, 2022 PR-2022-110570; GF-2022-118267 2505 INDIAN TRAIL 24 – 1 Demolish a ca. 1938 house and detached garage apartment PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story stone veneer house with side-gabled replacement metal roof, partial-width inset front porch, exposed rafter tails, and replacement windows and one-story frame garage apartment clad in fiber cement replacement siding. The house at 2505 Indian Trail was built in 1938. Its earliest occupant was Margaret Graham Crusemann, developer and president of the Enfield Realty and Building Company and Westenfield Development Company. According to the RTHL marker present at the Crusemann-Marsh-Bell house, “Mrs. Crusemann was a granddaughter of Texas governor E.M. Pease and served as a silent partner in the Enfield Realty and Building Co. with other heirs of the Pease estate.” Crusemann, along with her husband Paul, was one of Austin’s most influential developers; she likely resided in this house after her husband’s death in order to be closer to her interests in the developing Tarrytown neighborhood, where she constructed residences and the Tarrytown Shopping Center (see Historical information, below). PROPERTY EVALUATION Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate to low integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building does not appear to convey architectural significance. Furthermore, Margaret Crusemann’s earlier residence,the Crusemann-Marsh-Bell House at 1509 Marshall Lane, is a designated state and local landmark. b. Historical association. The property is associated with Margaret Graham Crusemann, president of Enfield Realty and Home Building Company and Westenfield Development Company after her husband’s death. c. Archaeology.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 7, 2022 PR-2022-116243; GF-2022-120476 1810 DEXTER STREET 26 – 1 Demolish a ca. 1953 house constructed by A. D. Stenger. PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story stone veneer house with exposed rafter tails, a blind front wall, a cross-gabled roof with deep eaves, and concealed entryway. The house at 1810 Dexter Street was built in 1953 by A. D. Stenger in collaboration with the Austin Home Builders’ Association. This “Educational Home” served as a model home for the South Lund Park neighborhood; the Association encouraged potential homebuyers to visit the construction site while the home was being built to showcase its concrete slab and single-story plan “similar to the grand prize winner of a recent architectural competition sponsored by Carrier Air Conditioning Manufacturers.”1 According to a 2008 exhibit of Stenger’s work at the University of Texas: A.D. Stenger was a renowned local developer, architect and builder in Austin during the late 1940s through the late 1990s. Many of his houses are in the Barton Hills area. His career began while he was enrolled as a student in the School of Architecture at The University of Texas at Austin. Stenger spent decades building houses for numerous creative Austinites including humorists John Henry Faulk and Cactus Pryor. Acting as developer, architect and builder, Stenger’s houses reflected modern designs with touches of “homey comfort” in response to a demand for an affordable, modern lifestyle.2, 3 A 2015 zoning change review sheet, prepared by the Historic Preservation Office for another since-demolished Stenger home, describes his legacy as follows: A.D. (Arthur Dallas) Stenger was a prominent mid-century modern designer/builder in Austin. He got his start after passing his professional licensing exam in 1950 while a student at University of Texas School of Architecture. Leaving UT before completing the program, Stenger jumped into the post-war housing boom. Stenger was often compared to prominent California developer Joseph Eichler […]A “Stenger” home has a low-pitch gable roof, pronounced rafter tails, post and beam construction, and conservative footprint, with most buildings being under 1500 square feet, with exposed beams and decking. Stenger also often included walls of collected stone, gable ends that terminate in a projecting point and cantilevered structural systems. Stenger is one of Austin’s most prominent mid-century modern architects and is often credited with establishing the mid-century modern movement in Austin. As a developer/building/architect he was involved with the houses from …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS SEPTEMBER 7, 2022 HR-2022-084104 SEBRON G. SNEED HOUSE 6301 BLUFF SPRINGS ROAD 4.0 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct an apartment complex around the Judge Sebron G. Sneed House ruins erected circa 1857-1860. 1) Construct a three-building apartment complex around the Sebron Sneed House ruins, providing a 25’ buffer zone between the ruins and the pool and other new construction. Proposed buildings are each three stories in height and display Mission Revival stylistic cues; they are clad in stucco and capped with hipped, tiled roofs. Columned arches accent the main entrance to each building. 2) Construct a fence around the ruins. Note: The applicant has provided 2015 correspondence, per Committee feedback, showing that former Preservation Officer Steve Sadowsky requested a mortar analysis and preliminary stabilization plan. The applicant specified that tuck-pointing and consolidation would be implemented following an observation report and recommendation from a masonry restoration contractor and the erection of a double steel fence around the ruins (see backup). RESEARCH & ARCHITECTURE The home on this site was zoned historic in 1979, with the surrounding area rezoned historic in 1980. The house was destroyed by fire in 1989, and the ruins remain. Travis County foreclosed on the home for taxes owed in 2002 and retained the property until a private owner purchased the site from the county in 2006. Invest SmartHomes Inc owned it from 2006-2009, then The Foresight Foundation from 2009-2011. Since 2011, the property has toggled ownership between the same companies: IndoPak Investments, Inc and The Circle at The Nelms. In 1854, Judge Sebron G. Sneed moved his entire family from Fayetteville, Arkansas, to his newly acquired 470-acre farm south of the present city of Austin. Construction of a permanent family residence was begun shortly after that in 1857 and continued for five years. War stopped the work, and the house, never entirely completed, lacked its intended porches and interior finishes.1 The stone for the walls was quarried on the property and finished by hand. Lumber for the floors, roof, and finish material was acquired from the Lost Pine Forest at Bastrop, Texas, 30 miles east of the residence site. A Historic American Building Survey (HABS TX - 399) dated 2/3/1937 described the house as follows: “ This native limestone residence is located one mile off the Austin-San Antonio Highway on the Austin-Lockhart Highway, near Austin, Travis County. …

Development Services Department Staff Recommendations Concerning Required Findings Project Name: Ordinance Standard: Watershed Protection Ordinance Variance Request: BKO Parmer To allow for fill exceeding 4 feet up to 12 feet for building construction Include an explanation with each applicable finding of fact. A. Land Use Commission variance determinations from Chapter 25-8-41 of the City Code: 1. The requirement will deprive the applicant of a privilege available to owners of similarly situated property with approximately contemporaneous development subject to similar code requirements. Yes. The variance will not be providing a special privilege to the applicant. The proposed buildings are similar in size to similarly situated property. In order to facilitate this type of development levelling and additional fill is required for the buildings. Prior projects in this area had a similar situation. A prime example is Crossroad Logistics Center Additions, SP-2021-0169D. A Land Use Commission variance was granted to LDC 25-8-342 to allow fill up to 17 feet. 2. The variance: a) Is not necessitated by the scale, layout, construction method, or other design decision made by the applicant, unless the design decision provides greater overall environmental protection than is achievable without the variance; Yes. Existing site conditions necessitate additional “fill” for fulfilling the requirements of two fire lane/emergency access routes as well as structural bridge for spanning the CWQZ. b) Is the minimum deviation from the code requirement necessary to allow a reasonable use of the property; Yes. The site is being graded as efficiently as possible to provide the required access slopes and bridge heights to minimize the amount of variance required. c) Does not create a significant probability of harmful environmental consequences.

Draft – 9/1/22 C20-2022-005a ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET Amendment: C20-2022-005a, Land Development Code Amendments Description: Consider an ordinance regarding amendments to Title 25 related to environmental protection and landscape requirements. Proposed Language: Draft language is included as Attachment A. Summary of proposed code changes: A summary of the proposed code changes is included as Attachment B. Background: This ordinance responds to Council Resolution No. 20220609-061, which initiated Land Development Code amendments related to environmental, drainage, and landscape requirements. The resolution directed staff to present most of the initiated amendments to Council for consideration by September 15, 2022. The initiated code amendments and a summary of the staff proposal is provided below: 1. Establish criteria that prioritize when green stormwater methods should be required or incentivized over conventional stormwater controls; The proposed code amendments would require most sites to use green stormwater infrastructure, or GSI, to meet water quality treatment requirements. This amendment was previously proposed and reviewed as part of the Land Development Code (LDC) Revision. Under current code, many sites meet water quality treatment requirements by building a sedimentation/filtration pond. Sedimentation/filtration devices provide some water quality benefits by filtering polluted runoff and helping control stream-channel erosion, but they do not significantly address other important ancillary goals such as supporting on-site vegetation, increasing rainwater infiltration, and reducing potable water consumption. Requiring most sites to use GSI instead of conventional grey stormwater infrastructure will provide myriad benefits, including stormwater infiltration, soil health, wildlife habitat, urban heat island mitigation, water conservation, aesthetic value, and other ecosystem services. GSI also provides enhanced water quality benefits compared to sedimentation/filtration devices, including better removal of nutrients from stormwater and further reductions in erosive flows. The proposed code amendments would allow developments to choose from a variety of green stormwater controls, including biofiltration ponds, rain gardens, rainwater harvesting systems, porous pavement, and retention-irrigation systems (which can be built in conjunction with green roofs). All of these systems beneficially use rainwater to infiltrate and/or offset potable water. Staff also proposes to increase the beneficial use benefits of these controls over time through improvements to the design criteria in the Environmental Criteria Manual. 1 Draft – 9/1/22 C20-2022-005a The proposed code amendments provide some exceptions from the GSI requirement, allowing conventional controls to be used for sites with more than 90 percent impervious cover, regional ponds, difficult site conditions, and “hot-spot” land uses with highly contaminated runoff (e.g., …

A new steel covered staircase is proposed near the existing emergency exit at the east elevation, matching the north-elevation emergency exit on the new addition. New shielded sconces at secondary elevations are proposed. No alterations are proposed for the main façade. ARCHITECTURE The 2010 historic zoning case file for the house describes its architecture as follows: Two-and-a-half story T-plan brick-veneered Southern Colonial Revival-styled sorority house. The house has a parapetted hipped-roof on the rectangular central block and a rear-gabled extension from the center of the central block. Five gabled dormers pierce the front of the roof. The house has a central, partial- width full-height independent porch on monumental square wood posts with plain capitals and matching pilasters at the point where the porch connects back to the central block of the house. The porch has an ornamental wood balustrade across the front and sides. Fenestration consists of 9:9 windows on the first floor and 6:6 windows on the second floor with a round, fixed-sash window on the second floor in the section of the central block extending beyond the front porch and modern replacement windows in the gabled dormers. A one-story, irregular-plan garden room on the rear of the house nestled between the central block and the rear-gabled extension. The central entry is framed with a transom and sidelights, with a broken pediment above.1 DESIGN STANDARDS The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards …
