Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Calli Alford Friday, February 25, 2022 11:22 AM PAZ Preservation Re: 1505 Alameda Proposed Demolition Hi Amber, Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I oppose the demolition of the house located at 1505 Alameda due to its historical significance. Preserving older homes is an important way to protect the culture, feel and aesthetic of the neighborhood. There are plenty of other development opportunities in the Austin area.

February 25, 2022 Terri Myers, Chair City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission Re: Reverend Jacob Fontaine Gold Dollar Building Chair Myers: Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. We write today to express our concerns about proposed changes to the historic Reverend Jacob Fontaine Gold Dollar Building located at 2402 San Gabriel Street. This building is in the former Freedman’s Colony known as Wheatville, founded in 1869 by freedman James Wheat on the edge of the Shoal Creek flood plain. Not only is this property and area historically significant, but the first known owner of the house has a noteworthy history, as well. Had it not been for his efforts, the University of Texas, whose presence threatens to engulf the modest property, might not exist in Austin. Rev. Jacob (Jake) Fontaine was born into slavery in Arkansas in 1808. He was brought to Austin in 1839 as the personal secretary of Texas president Mirabeau B. Lamar. In 1867, after Emancipation, Fontaine founded the First (Colored) Baptist Church in Austin, the first of many churches he founded in Central Texas. In 1876, Fontaine established the Austin Gold Dollar, the first black-owned newspaper in Austin out of his home, the property on San Gabriel. In 1881, Fontaine emerged as one of Austin's leading advocates for the establishment of the University of Texas in Austin, even though it would be decades before Blacks could attend the university. Rev. Fontaine died in 1898 and is buried in Oakwood Cemetery. The City of Austin has declared this building a landmark and the previously proposed changes to the balcony and roof would certainly harm its architectural as well as historic integrity. Preservation Austin supports calls for a rigorous analysis of this landmark’s physical evolution to ensure that any changes respect and preserve its historic fabric with minimal intervention. We appreciate the Historic Landmark Commission’s extreme care with this case given the erasure of Wheatville, and of so many other Black settlements in West and South Austin, as well as continued threats to African American heritage throughout the city. Also, if possible, we would encourage outreach to any of Rev. Fontaine’s descendants who may still live in the area who may not be aware of these proposed changes. And, given the controversial issues related to erasure of African American places and spaces, perhaps this could provide …

PRESERVATION / DEMOLITION We agree with The Imagine Austin Plan, which advises that comprehensive urban planning and design should protect historic areas and help maintain neighborhood character. However , McMansion FAR limits are not sufficient to discourage the extensive demolition of residences within the central neighborhoods. Preservation incentives, such as more flexibility in regard to ADUs coupled with greater density rather than new development, are a positive step and another tool to avoid extensive demolition Representing myself: 1. I ask for a postponement on 804 Rutherford Place because there was no notice of a public meeting posted at the property. 2. Attached please find improvement values for 804 Rutherford Place, 806 Rutherford Place, and surrounding properties. Improvement values for these two properties more than doubled from 2020-2021 It's my opinion that the huge increase in property tax burden may have prompted the landlords of these properties to sell It's my opinion that if we had some kind of City historic property tax credit for preservation, more landlords would be able to keep their properties and we'd have less demolitions Travis Heights is losing some relatively affordable rentals that require no subsidy from taxpayers The commercial improvement values are laughably low compared to residential, although for landlords their properties are "commercial" landlords don't get the same homestead exemption that protects other residents please consider initiating some kind of preservation incentive with the City to help us preserve our old, affordable rentals to keep Travis Heights diverse i Thank you for your consideration, Paula Kothmann 1 CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Sunday, February 27, 2022 10:22 AM PAZ Preservation Case no. 22-001198 804 Rutherford This message is from Cherie J Deutchman. I live at 1318 Travis Heights Blvd. I object to granting a demolition permit in the referenced case. As the staff report states, the current structure is an example of an eclectic architectural style and the proposed new construction is not compatible with adjacent structures in design. 1
