I have particularly valued the unique architectural style of 1317, which I don't believe is repeated within our entire historic district. It is a lingering transition from the Victorian Fairview Park to the Craftsman and Revival styles of the new century in Travis Heights. I can appreciate the owner's desire to build a big family home there but I wish they could reconsider their plans to demolish or remove 1317, at least! I'm sure a good designer could find a way to add to that in a tasteful way while allowing new construction to suit a modern family. Please discourage removing this valuable contributing property from Fairview Park. The homes of this period are so endangered in Austin.

We are losing so many of our beautiful homes that contribute to the lovely historic fabric of our neighborhood. Surely there is a way for the owner to honor the unique character of the house by saving at least the front and setback and build an addition that fits into our neighborhood. Please do whatever you can to convince them that demolition is extreme, unnecessary and hurtful to our community. Thank for all your efforts.

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Mary C Kahle Tuesday, July 5, 2022 10:53 AM HPD Preservation opposition to several agenda items Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Flagged *** External Email ‐ Exercise Caution *** Hi, this is Mary Kahle, a longtime resident of Austin. I'm writing today to express my opposition to several items on the HLC agenda for 7/6/22: HR‐2022‐070860 – 407 E. Monroe St. (demolish a contributing garage): The garage at 407 E. Monroe possesses unique historical qualities that add to the character of the National Register district and thus to the character of Austin. The proposed design does not meet the compatibility standards for the neighborhood in many respects, leading to the conclusion that allowing the demolition to go forward and the new building to be constructed would damage the character of the neighborhood. HR‐2022‐026102 – 1205 Alta Vista Ave. (demolish a contributing 1939 duplex and additional building): It's shocking that a building that provides multi‐family, affordable housing AND so charmingly contributes to the character of the National Register district is up for demolition. The City of Austin has expressed a firm desire to protect affordable housing, and allowing the demolition of this cute duplex and associated structure directly contradicts that goal and the City's stated goal of preserving neighborhoods. Added to this is the fact that the proposed new construction is not compatible in terms of massing, scale, height, and proportions, making the case for the property's demolition even harder to support. PR‐2022‐002404 – 1315 & 1317 Newning Ave. (demolish two contributing buildings): The two buildings have unique historical qualities that add to the character of the National Register district and thus to the character of Austin. Demolishing both, i.e. taking away housing for multiple families, goes against the City of Austin's stated goals of providing housing at the same time that it diminishes the character of the NR district and thus the overall character of Austin.

HR-2022-026102 – 1205 Alta Vista Ave. Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Flagged *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Commissioner, As a resident of the Travis Heights‐Fairview Park Historic District, I continue to be opposed to the demolition of this unique, historic apartment building. I have spoken out against it at two meetings already and I have seen no interest from the owner/builders in responding to the commission. They have never appeared. The fact that their rendering is set in just a blank modelscape universe tells me they do not have the nerve to show their new construction in context with the site. It is completely out of character and will negatively impact the surrounding properties. It will detract from the rhythm and scale of the block, as well. One commissioner did mention the possibility of a historic landmark designation for this property and I would support that 100%.

Monroe Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Flagged *** External Email ‐ Exercise Caution *** Case # HR 22‐070860 The building itself at 407 E. Monroe appears to me to be beyond historic status. HOWEVER, it contains at least 6 affordable living spaces which are in very short supply in this area. The occupants are probably workers at local businesses. I hate to see more of this valuable labor force be displaced in favor of a McMansion housing 2 wealthy people, or condos that are incompatible with the historic district & UNaffordable by these workers.

I am opposed to the demolition permit for this home. This home was recently restored (at least from what is visible on the exterior), so I do not understand the rationale for wanting to demolish it so soon after restoration. My neighborhood has seen so many homes demolished in the 12 years I have been living here and many more before then. Unfortunately, I do not know the historical significance of this home, so maybe that is the only basis that this board uses to determine if a permit should be given, but I am opposed to the consistent destruction of this neighborhood. Austin is suffering from an acute housing shortage, especially of smaller, more affordable homes, as they are torn down and McMansions are built on the lots. The most affordable home is the one that is already built. If the property owner is hellbent on building another monstrosity on this plot of land, for the love of god please let them consider having the house moved to a different location instead of being thrown in the dump. The American impulse to throw away perfectly good things is destroying our history and the earth. We go to Europe on vacations and revel in the old historic buildings but throw our own away at the first opportunity.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2022-0040 – Pioneer Hill Plaza Z.A.P. DATE: July 5, 2022 DISTRICT: 1 ADDRESS: 10017-1/2 Dessau Road and 1501-1/2 Arborside Drive AREA: 3.448 acres OWNER: Continental Homes of Texas (John Sparrow) APPLICANT: Doan & Associates (Julie Doan) ZONING FROM: MF-3-CO TO: CS SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends GR-MU-CO. The conditional overlay would prohibit automotive rental, automotive sales, automotive repair services, automotive washing (of any type), and service station. An existing Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) will be attached to the property via conditional overlay or public restrictive covenant. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: July 5, 2022: CITY COUNCIL DATE: July 28, 2022: ORDINANCE READINGS: 1st 2nd 3rd ORDINANCE NUMBER: CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin e-mail: heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov PHONE: 512-974-2122 B-011 of 39 C14-2022-0040 Page 2 ISSUES: The rezoning tract was included in a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) for the overall Pioneer Hill area that was approved in 2002 and amended in 2003 and 2011. At that time, the City of Austin attached TIA requirements via conditional overlay (CO) instead of via public restrictive covenant (RC). Staff recommends that the property remain subject to the TIA; City of Austin Law Department will determine whether a CO or RC is appropriate to tie the TIA to the property. DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The subject property is located at the southeast corner of Dessau Road and Arborside Drive. The undeveloped property is currently zoned MF-3-CO, with the CO attaching TIA requirements as described in the Issues section. An unconstructed road right-of-way (ROW) is along the south side of the property (Edgeworth Bend), and unnamed streets are located along the east property lines. Property to the south and southeast is zoned MF-4 and includes undeveloped land and multifamily land uses. East of the rezoning tract are undeveloped SF-6-CO tracts; further northeast of the property are SF-6-CO tracts that are developed with small lot single family residences. Across Arborside Drive to the north is undeveloped land zoned MF-3-CO. Across Dessau Road to the west is a single family neighborhood zoned SF-3-NP.
