Sturgill, Hunter From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Dear Mr. Sturgill, Ora Houston Tuesday, December 2, 2025 9:49 AM Historic Preservation Office 2406 E. Martin Luther King, Jr., Blvd. - Case # - PR-2025-144142; GF 2025-144858 External Email - Exercise Caution I am Ms. Ora Houston and I own property at 1902 Maple Avenue, 78722, Lot 8 Washington Subdivision. Am requesting that the Historic Landmark Commission grant a postponement regarding the Certificate of Appropriateness for the above referenced Case number. The applicant, Dmitriy Dubrovsky has not been in contact with nor has had any conversations with anyone in the Rogers Washington Holy Cross Historic District! Rogers Washington Holy Cross will probably be the only Historic District possible within the six square mile boundaries of the African American Cultural Heritage District. That will be because of the stringent requirements imposed by the State Representative and State Senator who were elected to 'represent not repress' the people of the District. It is unthinkable that this Case would go forward without the Applicant having no conversations with the people in the District in order to have an understand of what can and can not be deconstructed and/or constructed on the site. How disrespectful of the history of citizens of Austin whose structures are continuing examples of how beautiful, creative, engaged and resourceful they were throughout this community, City and State. Please grant a postponement until those conversation(s) can be held! Respectfully, Ms. Ora Houston 2207 E. 22nd Street 512-472-2951 “Service is the rent we pay for the privilege of living on this earth. It is the very purpose of life, not something you do in your spare time.” - The Honorable Shirley Chisholm 1 CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email.

PR-2025-142120 – 1806 Drake Ave. External Email - Exercise Cau(cid:415)on Good a(cid:332)ernoon, Commissioners - I am wri(cid:415)ng to urge you to deny the applica(cid:415)on for demoli(cid:415)on of 1806 Drake Avenue, as included on your agenda for your December 3 mee(cid:415)ng. 1806 Drake is a 1940s ranch-style home and a contribu(cid:415)ng structure in the Travis Heights - Fairview Park Na(cid:415)onal Register Historic District. We urge the owners to reconsider their applica(cid:415)on for demoli(cid:415)on and to look for ways to retain and remodel the exis(cid:415)ng home. Most of the homes in this block of Drake are contribu(cid:415)ng structures in the District, and it would be a shame to lose another valuable contribu(cid:415)ng home. We also note that the applicant has not provided any plans for what they would do on the property in place of the exis(cid:415)ng home. The Historic Landmark Commission must review plans for new construc(cid:415)on in Na(cid:415)onal Register districts before demoli(cid:415)on permits may be issued. The SRCC Historic Preserva(cid:415)on Commi(cid:425)ee does not agree to the demoli(cid:415)on of any contribu(cid:415)ng structure for which we do not have an opportunity to review replacement plans. There are many instances of similar homes being rehabilitated much more affordably than demolishing an exis(cid:415)ng home and building an en(cid:415)rely new one. We would hope that the owners would further consider this op(cid:415)on. Thank you for your considera(cid:415)on of these comments.

Sturgill, Hunter From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Vickie Schubert Monday, December 1, 2025 4:05 PM Historic Preservation Office GF2025-121036 Demo permit 2821 Salado St (followup) You don't often get email from Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Good afternoon. Prior to your meeting of December 3 I wanted to provide a follow-up to my previous email of November 14 in further support of demolition of the property at 2821 Salado. As of the time of my last email, the owner had just boarded up the house because an unhinged homeless man had taken up residence in the property and was yelling, breaking windows and who know what else in the house. It was a very uncomfortable and possibly dangerous situation to which the owner responded. In the two weeks since then, it has become a target of taggers (photos attached). They continue to visit the property and add more tags every several days. Finally today, I noticed the boarding over the back door has been torn off so either another homeless person has take up residence or the house is being scavenged for things like copper wire or both. In either case it has become a dangerous property to live next to and the costs of any sort of rehabilitation grow by the week. The developer met with Shoal Creek Neighborhood Association on November 17. The association decided to take no action to either support or oppose the project. I am urging and pleading with the Commission to take up this matter at the meeting of December 3 and approve the demolition so some positive progress can be made at the property. Thank you.

A legal fight over deed restrictions on the property is being waged in court, and it’s premature to consider a permit to demolish the building until the court case is resolved. The building itself may have useful life left on it. Until the future of the property is decided, it would be best not to demolish the building at this time.

I am writing to express my concern as an Austin and Rosedale resident on the hearing tomorrow to decide the historical value and potential demolition of the school. It seems to be premature to hold this hearing while there is a court ruling in the balance on the site's existing deed restriction limiting a single residence per parcel, and the hearing should be postponed until there is clarity on what could be built on the site. There is also an active lawsuit from Austin Independent School District suing the Rosedale H homeowners, which includes myself and my wife. Pretty shocking to be sued by my own school district and feels like a breach of the social contract between citizens and their own government who is supposed to be for them, not against them.

The Rosedale neighborhood is a unique and cherished community, defined by its residential character, walkability, and family-friendly environment. The proposed project threatens to fundamentally alter this character. Specifically: • Neighborhood Integrity: The scale and density of the proposed complex are incompatible with the existing fabric of Rosedale. It risks eroding the sense of community that residents have worked hard to preserve. • Traffic and Safety Concerns: Increased traffic from a large apartment complex poses a serious danger in a neighborhood where children regularly play in the streets. The infrastructure here was not designed to handle such volume, and the risks to pedestrian safety are significant. • Quality of Life: Beyond traffic, the project would bring noise, congestion, and strain on local resources, diminishing the livability of the neighborhood for current residents. Said plainly, this project would ruin the character and safety of our neighborhood. I urge the Planning Department to reconsider approval of this demolition and development, and instead prioritize projects that respect the scale, safety, and integrity of Rosedale. To the extent that the demolition and proposed apartment complex are approved for construction, our family will strongly consider moving out of the neighborhood, despite not having the adequate financial resources to easily accommodate such a move. The risks associated with increased traffic and neighborhood density are not worth it given we have a 1 year old daughter and soon to be born child. 1 Thank you for your attention to this matter. I hope the voices of residents will be given full consideration in the decision-making process. I am available whenever to speak with you about our and our neighborhood's concerns with the project.

I wager no apt building of that size has been built when said building will be surrounded by old, tiny two lane roads.

Sturgill, Hunter From: Sent: To: Subject: Tom Goodrum Tuesday, December 2, 2025 7:44 AM Historic Preservation Office Postpone Decision on the Rosedale School Demo Permit You don't often get email from Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Dear Chairman Heimsath and commission members: I live at 4808 Shoalwood Avenue, near the former Rosedale School site, which, as you may know, served our most fragile children with special needs in Austin. I support the postponement request by the Play Fair with Rosedale and the Rosedale Neighborhood Association (DA 25-142965). I am utterly gobsmacked that AISD has sued 125 of my neighbors, including my wife and me, to try to nullify a deed restriction that allows only one residence per lot. Having never been sued before, I feel steamrolled, having had no prior notification that this was happening. As neighbors, we are fighting this in court, and believe it’s premature to consider a permit to demolish a building until the court case is resolved. I don’t know whether the school is historic, but there is absolutely no reason to decide on this now. Last time I was there with my dog (who has since passed), there was an area in the back corner where families had made a tribute to their deceased children. Walking through the area with special markers, painted rocks, and light catchers with the children’s names felt sacred - it’s clearly a meaningful place for those families. I’m not sure why AISD and OHT are in such a hurry to get a demo permit when there is a very good chance the courts will uphold the deed restrictions. For what it's worth, the neighbors are not opposed to having the building used, perhaps like Carpenters Hall, or as it has been most recently, for active shooter training. What we don’t want is for the Rosedale School to be bulldozed and replaced with a high-density apartment building when the streets and neighborhood aren't equipped to handle the cars that come with the (proposed) 435+-unit development. Our neighborhood is filled with young children being pushed in strollers, families walking their dogs, and older, white-haired ones hobbling along. There are no sidewalks, and because it’s so walkable and neighborly, cars drive slowly. If you agree to demolish Rosedale School without regard for what it will be replaced with, it is a mistake. Moreover, to make this decision without …

Kalan Contreras Principal Planner Historic Preservation Office Austin Planning 512-974-2727 kalan.contreras@austintexas.gov From: Chris Allen Sent: Tuesday, December 2, 2025 8:50 AM To: Contreras, Kalan <Kalan.Contreras@austintexas.gov> Subject: Re: Historic Landmark hearing for Former Rosedale School External Email - Exercise Caution Good morning! I thought you'd appreciate some more background history on the impressive line of Ramsey women who shaped Rosedale for generations. Doing all of my research on the deeds for the school parcel, I learned a lot. Winnie Ramsey (one of F.T. Ramsey's 3 developer daughters) and her husband Hilliare created the original Rosedale H subdivision in 1938 and sold several lots to the Austin school district that year for the construction of the original school building. By 1946, Winnie's daughter Alice and husband Harry Wilder later sold additional lots to the school district for the expansion of the school. During my time dealing with land use in Rosedale, I've had the distinct pleasure of working with Diane Wilder Davenport Howard, daughter of Alice, who developed the Rosedale Village project (where Gusto and Citizen Allday are). Diane is 83 today and is being SUED by AISD over the deed restrictions her grandmother wrote and AISD agreed to. Funny world!!
