PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Install a new prefabricated pool with required enclosure in east side yard. DESIGN STANDARDS The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. However, the Hyde Park design standards do not specifically address site features; thus, the property may also be evaluated under the more general Citywide Historic Design Standards, which are used to evaluate projects in historic districts. The following standards may be used to evaluate the proposed project: Hyde Park Design Standards 1.2: Retention of Historic Style: Respect the historic style of existing structures and retain their historic features, including character-defining elements and building scale. The proposed project does not affect the existing building; however, the historic-age streetscape may be affected by the installation of the pool and/or fence at the building’s primary street frontage. 5.12: Fences: Design fences with materials that are compatible with the architectural character of the structure. Fences shall adhere to the regulations set forth in the Hyde Park Neighborhood Conservation Combining District (Ordinance No. 020131-20): 5.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS DECEMBER 14, 2022 HR-2022-169818 TEXACO DEPOT 1300 EAST 4TH STREET 7 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Install 5 signs at the new portion of the building. Install one sign at the primary streetscape on the gate to the historic building. Restore existing historic-age signs. 1) Install a 10 ft2 face-lit sign at the top of each elevation on the new tower. 2) Install a 6 ft2 backlit steel sign at the rear entrance of the building, oriented toward the paseo. 3) Install a 9 ft2 indirectly lit steel sign on the front gate of the property. DESIGN STANDARDS Number of Signs: The Commission allows one sign per building, unless the building has multiple tenants; in this case, the Commission may allow one sign per façade module, if the façade modules correspond to tenant spaces. The Commission may also allow one sign for each street frontage if the building is at an intersection. A single directory sign is appropriate for a large building with multiple tenants. The proposed signage plan includes one sign at each entrance and four around the top of the new tower. Sign Types: The Commission may allow window signs, awning signs, projecting signs, and flush mounted signs for most commercial buildings. Freestanding signs are allowed for office and retail uses in historic residential buildings. City codes prohibit the Commission from approving the following sign types: (1) rotating, (2) off-premises, (3) roof signs, (4) portable, or (5) signs which flash or blink at intervals. City code also prohibits handbills, posters, or placards on a structure except inside a window or on a bulletin board. The proposed signage plan does not include prohibited sign types. Sign Size: The maximum size for signs depends on the sign type: 2. Flush-mounted signs: 7% of the overall façade area, with a maximum height of 2 feet and a maximum size of 20 square feet . Large commercial buildings (over 3 stories): Cumulative signage may not exceed 40 square feet per façade and must comply with a signage plan for the building. The proposed flush-mounted signs are each within the 20 ft2 limit; however, cumulative signage is approximately 55 ft2. Sign Design, Coloring and Materials: Use simple shapes, such as rectangular or oval signs. The Commission recommends painted wood or metal signs with matte finishes for all signs; plastic, reflective materials, and unfinished surfaces …

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Eric John Matthies Friday, December 9, 2022 1:28 PM HPD Preservation Case #GF 22-169711 Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Flagged . Learn why this is important at [You don't often get email from https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ] *** External Email ‐ Exercise Caution *** Hello I am writing about the landmark commission application meeting for the property at 801 W. Johanna St While the public commission meeting is scheduled for the 14th it would appear that some demolition has already begun in the front yard area. Further, the back gate has been left disabled and open, as is the back door of the property. As close neighbors to the property we have concerns about this landmark craftsman being demolished, and the apparent haste with which the demo company and or the new property owners are treating the house and land prior to the hearing. Leaving the home accessible while obviously vacant is a concern for our neighborhood which already sees an increase in theft and burglary. Beginning to announce the demolition, and in fact appearing to have begun the work prior to a proper hearing is in the least, disrespectful of the neighborhood and neighbors. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Eric Matthies ‐ The universe is ceaselessly creative. ‐ CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

This letter serves as comment from the Executive Director of the Texas Historical Commission (THC), holder of the preservation easement placed on the property in perpetuity in 2002 by the grantor, the State Preservation Board to the grantee, the Texas Historical Commission (State Historic Preservation Office). The THC Division of Architecture staff, led by Alex Toprac, has completed its review of the project proposal and provided fundamental exterior schematic plans, renderings, and photographs, which were submitted on July 14th, 2022. Our staff acknowledges the exterior scope of work notably includes: Exterior Masonry Rehabilitation- • Brick masonry cleaning and repointing with a matching mortar mix and joint profile wherever determined necessary based on an assessment of existing conditions • Repainting of the brick exterior with a similar off-white color as the existing paint • Removal of paint from all sills and lintels to determine whether any natural stone will be repainted or left exposed with selective application of a breathable water-based silane water repellent coating with a matte finish • Removal of all existing caulking and coatings on the limestone column bases and wood columns, including 19th century red and green paint Exterior Carpentry Rehabilitation- priming, and repainting New Mechanical Systems- • Repair and selective replacement of deteriorated areas of wood entablature and soffit • Carpentry repair and selective replacement of areas of deteriorated wood columns before prepping, • Installation of new HVAC systems and ductwork to be installed in the attic, basement and/or crawlspace Roof Replacement- • Roof replacement to replicate the existing single roof design, with all earlier roof structures beneath to remain preserved in-place • Reconstruction of the previously altered rear, west elevation second story roof eave and cornice line to replicate the historic 1903 condition behind the proposed contemporary roof of the new west addition, which will be stepped down in height to reveal the reconstructed eave and cornice line Installation of new gutters and downspouts, potentially with a replicated historic scupper design • New Additions, Basement, and Utility Bunker Construction- • Removal of the 2003 rear, west addition, and construction of a new west addition with a shade trellis …
