I understand the Reviewer from the city had a similar finding so we're all in agreement that the plans need to be adapted to ensure there is no impact on the tree. I'm not sure what happened with the FAB team on the initial plans but I can assure you it was not intentional. • Once we have an update plan we'll share those with the city and work with the Arborist to ensure the trees

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Michelle Riehle Saturday, March 26, 2022 2:21 PM PAZ Preservation Case number: 22-006510 *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** To whom it may concern, I am a resident of Travis Heights and understand there is a hearing regarding 1505 Alameda Dr. Firstly, as a mother of two and soon to be three children I think it is essential that Austin continue to find and support ways to provide adequate housing for families both of children and multi generational families. Taking care of the people in our community is our top priority. I have seen publicly on "Next Door" that one of my neighbors is harassing one of my new neighbors who is trying to build a home suitable to house multiple occupants. The current home 1505 Alameda is not suitable for that. We have several adorable bungalows in Travis Heights but they are small and many, several in throwing distance of my own home, are falling apart. They have boarded windows, collapsed roofs, cracked foundations and are sitting rotting. I am hopeful someone will buy them and provide an opportunity for new suitable housing. Most homes in our neighborhood are being renovated, remodeled, added to or completely rebuilt to allow for safe and adequate housing. We added a significant addition onto our home as our family grew as an example. We should not allow new residents of our neighborhood to be harassed when the improvement of this neighborhood and its homes to provide safe adequate housing is a good thing. We should protect our natural environment but once someone has shown good intent and proof they have plans to do so they should be able to manage their home as they please. We are hurting the homeowners and future families at this point if we don't move forward with this issue and allow the homeowner to responsibly build their home. Everyday day and week this continues we have one less home and impose costs on the family that is trying to move forward and live there.

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Sunday, March 27, 2022 12:03 PM PAZ Preservation 1205 Alta Vista HR-2022-026102 *** External Email ‐ Exercise Caution *** Dear Commissioners, I oppose the demolition of 1205 Alta Vista on the basis of its contributing status to our National Register District. I’m a resident of the district and worked long and hard to achieve it. While it is not a landmark‐worthy structure, it is still part of our neighborhood’s history because it shows that we were/are a community that has always allowed for a variety of residents with different economic status. Rental properties’ existence in the neighborhood is an element that has brought many interesting residents into our community. It has been that way until recently. It DOES have community value in that regard. all our contributing structures obviously have value in terms of their relationship to their surrounding neighbors. They “contribute” to our story. Even though I know I can’t stop this demolition, I desperately hoping you can dissuade the owners from building this over‐scaled, monilithic single‐family residence. I would prefer to see multi‐family here, if anything, as it is being demolished every month here, and replaced with double‐lot sized single‐family homes. This leads to the erasure and misrepresentation of our history. Thank you! Melanie Martinez CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

D.1.b - 301 W 6th St - DANA letter — original pdf
SOCIAL KNOWLEDGEABLE INFLUENTIAL Kimberly Levinson President Curtis Rogers Vice President Angela Hovis Treasurer Frank Seely Greg Anderson Philip Wiley Marshall Geyer Gordon Moore March 26, 2022 To the Historic Landmark Commission, The Downtown Austin Neighborhood Association (DANA) is opposed to granting historic landmark status to the 301 W. 6th St. warehouse where The Iron Bear is currently located. We feel that The Iron Bear is an important institution for the LGBTQ+ community downtown and are hopeful that this bar is able to relocate again in a new downtown building with sufficient timing. We have formed our stance based on the following reasons: 1. The high potential for density and housing at this site. 2. The owner of the warehouse, Sixth & Lavaca 2018 LP, are in favor of demolition. 3. DANA does not find the warehouse to be exceptional or worth preserving, given the potential of this site to help achieve other community goals This site is located directly on a current MetroRapid corridor, an upcoming light rail corridor, in the walkshed from the upcoming Republic Square Project Connect station. Additionally, this lot is not in a Capitol View Corridor and is zoned to have no height limit. Given the items listed above, DANA supports the demolition of 301 W. 6th St. and is opposed to granting this lot historic zoning. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Kimberley Levinson President The DANA Board Downtown Austin Neighborhood Association

WHEREAS, the Parks and Recreation Board recognizes the unequivocal value that the City of Austin’s parkland and its amenities bring to our community in the areas of health, equity, environmental and economic benefits. The Board also are recognizes how much these spaces are a vital piece of Austin’s vibrancy as our parks, trails, amenities and greenspaces contribute significantly to Austin’s special beauty, lifestyle and appeal; and WHEREAS, the Board also understands that the parkland dedication ordinance fees have provided crucial funding for the acquisition of parkland and improvement of parks; Since 2007, the ordinance has provided the acquisition of over 1700 square acres of parkland, created and improved park infrastructure and amenities, reduced Austin’s park deficiency and improved park access with a focus on equity; and WHEREAS, the Board recognizes the positive impact of parkland dedication fees on residential and hotel developments, but is also aware that there are commercial, office and industrial developments in our community that are located in park-deficient areas and that these developments could potentially contribute; and WHEREAS, in February 2020, the Parks and Recreation Board passed a resolution on the land development code which included a recommendation that commercial properties be included in the parkland dedication ordinance; THEREFORE, the Parks and Recreation Board supports Mayor Pro Tem Alter’s resolution asking that city staff initiate code amendments to the Parkland Dedication Ordinance in City Code Chapter 25-1 to require parkland dedication for office, industrial, and commercial developments. This would include engaging with stakeholders and creating the amendment in a timely manner so a potential fee would be set in the Fiscal Year 2023 budget.

PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD DIRECTOR’S REPORT DATE: March 2022 PLANNING UPDATES: Bolm District Park Vision Plan: The Bolm District Park vision planning process is scheduled to commence in the Summer of 2022. The funding for the vision plan has been identified and the Park Planning Division will manage the process. Park Planning will proceed with developing the scope of work and negotiating/contracting consulting services with a planning/design firm. At that time (anticipated in 2023) the planning team will be reaching out to the community to start the engagement process and seek feedback. District 3 Mendez Recreation Center: Mendez Recreation Center recently completed construction of its shade fabrication for the facility splash pad. The pre-construction onsite meeting was held on February 24th, with the installer meeting on site for construction February 28th. The project installation was completed on March 3rd. The new structure will now provide shaded space for the splash pad for families and children in the community. District 3 Turner Roberts Recreation Center Facility Repairs: The City of Austin’s Turner Roberts Recreation Center resumed facility renovations and repair after a recent halt in the project. The project sub- contractors have completed the necessary inspections and reports of the facility space before moving forward with the next stage in repairs. Completion of the project is still scheduled for Late April 2022. District 1 Rosewood Neighborhood Park Tennis Court Resurface: The Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) Planning Team continues to move forward with the tennis court resurface project at Rosewood Neighborhood Park. After community input and meeting with local pickleball advocates, the decision was proposed to remove one permanent tennis court and provide two permanent pickleball courts and striping for two temporary pickleball courts. The project was recently halted to receive final approval as the project planning team ran into some structural issues with tree roots on the south side of the court, requiring changes to the project. Once that is complete, changes will be submitted to the Contractor to determine the cost increase/decrease for this work. As a result of these changes the project will not be completed by the initial projected completion date of March 25th. District 1 Givens Recreation Center: Givens Recreation Center recently completed the demolition of flooring in the lobby and office area in anticipation of the facility renovation.
