Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Jennifer Burcin Thursday, February 24, 2022 9:18 PM PAZ Preservation Demolition of 1505 Forest Trail *** External Email ‐ Exercise Caution *** Austin Historic Landmark Commission, I received a letter that there will be discussion regarding a property at 1505 Forest Trail which my own backyard is against on February 28, 2022. I have multiple concerns about the property being torn down. I have reviewed the historical significance of the property over the years. It adds a lot of significance to the Tarrytown neighborhood. It would be devastating for it to be destroyed for investment purposes. I’m also requesting a copy of the case form that allows my neighbors and myself to object to the demolition and write our reasoning. There are many neighbors on Forest Trail absolutely opposed to the demolition. Thank you for your time and your commitment to maintaining the city of Austin!

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 C14H-2014-0012; HR-2022-014105 MARY NELSON HOUSE 1502 W. 9TH STREET B.7 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a rear addition and replace windows. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Construction of an approximately 600 square foot rear addition with a roof deck. Removal of a non-original rear closet and a single window will be required for the connection at the addition. The addition will be clad in stucco and will have sliding glass doors and square windows. The roof deck will be accessed by an exterior metal stair and will have a horizontal metal railing at the perimeter. 2) Replacement of historic window sashes with new 1:1 aluminum-clad wood windows, using a pocket installation method within existing frames and trim. Repair and retention of 4:1 wood screens. ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS One-and-a-half story, rectangular-plan, front-gabled stuccoed frame bungalow with a projecting front-gabled bay to the left of the front façade; partial-width inset porch on stuccoed plain square posts; flat arches with coved intrados; false half- timbering in the tympanum of the primary front gable; Craftsman-style front doors at right angles, both with a transom; single and paired 1:1 fenestration with 4:1 wood screens. The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects at historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 5. Windows, doors, and screens Standards 5.1 and 5.15 indicate that historic windows should be repaired rather than replaced, unless they are deteriorated beyond the point of stabilization and restoration. Standard 5.3 states that replacement windows should match the size and details of the existing windows, taking into account the design of the frames and sashes. The existing window sashes have multiple areas of deterioration, including wood rot, incompatible prior repairs, and poor fit within the window frames that results in air and water infiltration and an inability to secure the windows. Both a licensed inspector and a window contractor have indicated the existing sashes are beyond repair and should be replaced. The proposed replacement windows involve a pocket installation method, where the historic window trim and frames will remain in place. The sashes are removed by cutting the sash cords and removing the interior and parting stops. A new window unit with a minimal frame is inserted and the interior stop …

I recently received an email with the following list of properties that are pending demolition review! This is to urge you allow time to allow proper historical documention and review before makeing a decision. Also, it may be beneficial to allow time for the applicants to have the option of reviewng their requests with the South River City Citizens NA. For example, recently, SRCC NA met with two property owners on Drake Avenue who were deciding where or not to demo or renovate their pier‐on‐beam houses. After discussions with SRCC and subsequent support of a variance for each property that allowed building an ADU, the owners are now renovating both properties.
