HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JULY 2, 2025 HR-2025-060692 HYDE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 4411 AVENUE B 10.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a rear two-story addition. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct an addition at the rear of the existing house, which contributes to the Mary Street local historic district. Addition is proposed to be two-stories in height and located directly behind the existing one-story building. ARCHITECTURE The house at 4411 Avenue B is a single-story house with a corner inset porch that is supported by two wood posts. The building is elevated on piers with the crawlspace covered in a concrete skirt. The walls are clad in narrow teardrop siding with fascia above. A hipped roof clad in metal covers the entire house and is set at a moderate pitch. The front and side windows all appear to be original wood frames and covered in screens. The front entry is at the rear of the inset porch. Overall, the house has excellent integrity and is good condition. DESIGN STANDARDS The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 4. Residential Standards: Additions to Contributing Single Family and Multi-Family Structures 4.1. Preservation of Historic Character Any removal of original fabric is located entirely at the rear elevation. Though a two-story addition, it excellently reflects the form and style of the main house and overall district. 4.2. Location Addition is at the rear and will be minimally visible from the street. 4.3. Roof, Fenestration, and Siding Roof pitch and form matches the existing front house. Though likely not visible from the street, two second story windows on the front elevation are matching the configuration of the historic. Proposed siding is compatible with the existing. 4.4. Size and Scale of Addition Both floors of the addition match the floor-to-ceiling height of the original house. Second floor does not begin until over 15 feet from the front of the house and does not visually overwhelm the building. Summary The project meets the applicable standards. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK Reduce the overall verticality of the addition if possible and refine the roof pitch to further reduce the visibility of the addition from the street. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the application. LOCATION MAP 10.0 – 2 PROPERTY INFORMATION Photos 10.0 – 3 Permit application, 2025 Zillow listing, 2025

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JULY 2, 2025 HR-2025-073763 GREEN PASTURES 811 WEST LIVE OAK STREET 12.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a new hotel building on the grounds of a landmarked property. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS To the northwest of the existing historic house, construct a three-story hotel building containing 36 guest rooms, spa, pool, and fitness area. Construction will also include site work as part of Phase 3 of a larger project across the Green Pastures complex. Previous phases were presented to HLC and received a Certificate of Appropriateness in November 2022. ARCHITECTURE Green Pastures was built circa 1895 and designated a local historic landmark in 1979. The historic house sits in the approximate center of the property. In addition to the building, the landscaping of large oak trees is a character defining feature of the landmarked property. A previously approved hotel building is located at the southeast corner of the property. DESIGN STANDARDS 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: Commercial new construction 1. Location The proposed hotel is set to the side of the property, in a corner which allows adequate space between its location and the historic structure. It is proposed to be oriented towards the historic in keeping with the general movement plan of the property. 2. Scale, massing, and height Though the hotel is three stories, its vertical appearance is minimized through its width and other horizontal design elements. Renderings indicate that it will be level with numerous tree canopies on the property, and only slightly taller than the hipped roof of the historic house. 3. Design and style Though very modern in design, choices in color and finishes generally mute the appearance and allow the hotel to fade visually amongst the site features and urban context. Design choices are also compatible with the previously approved hotel construction, which creates a uniformity amongst new construction approved on the site. 4. Materials The materials proposed read as contemporary. Cladding elements emphasize the horizontality with the goal of reducing the vertical appearance of the three-story structure. 5. Storefronts Throughout the property, the pedestrian scale is prioritized, with the hotel and spa designed to be approved on foot or through human-scale methods. 6. Parking structures …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JULY 2, 2025 PR-2025-029950; GF-2025-033059; HR-2025-056344 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 1703 ALAMEDA DRIVE 14.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1939 house and construct a residence. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish the existing one-story house, which contributes to the National Register district. Construct a two-story house in generally the same location on the lot. ARCHITECTURE Built in a simple, minimal traditional form, the house at 1703 Alameda Drive is set at grade slightly above the street and is rectangular in plan with a small front porch cutout at one corner. The exterior is clad in horizontal wood siding, and original screen are present at the four front windows, along with a screen door at the rear of the porch for the main entry. There is minimal overhang from the hipped roof, which is clad in composition shingle. The house features numerous windows on all sides, typically paired or arranged in three units, side-by-side. A pier-and-beam foundation supports the one-story structure. The house is in good condition and has seen minimal alterations since construction. RESEARCH After construction around 1939, the house was first owned by Hiram & Doris Brown, who worked at local businesses such as Texas Cleaners & Shoe Repair. The Browns owned the property through World War II, and shortly after was sold to Charles & Bertha Kinney. Charles Kinney worked as a salesman and Bertha worked for many years as a clerk at the Internal Revenue Service. For a time, their adult son lived with them while attending the University of Texas. DESIGN STANDARDS 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 in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location Proposed construction is generally on the same footprint as the existing house and matches setback to other houses on the street. 2. Orientation The proposed residence is oriented towards the street, like the existing house and neighbors on the same street. 3. Scale, massing, and height Generally, the neighbors on the same street have single-story houses or, if there is a second floor, it is setback from the front or visually hidden by a side-gabled roof. There is no setback in this design, nor does the plan call for breaking up the height …

1703 Alameda Historic Landmark Commission Response Introduction We are pleased to submit this architectural proposal for a modest guest house designed in partnership with well known local architects for a young family living in the adjacent home. Unfortunately, we aren’t able to make the meeting, but we remain fully committed to the process. The homeowners—Austin residents with two small children—purchased the neighboring property to create a dedicated space for their elderly mother as well as enhance their outdoor living environment with a park-like setting. Jack Boothe Construction built their current home and has now been entrusted to lead this project as well, with the shared goal of creating a thoughtful, cohesive addition to their property. Over the past decade, Jack Boothe Construction completed several high-quality homes in Travis Heights. We have the reputation to always build with great care to complement the fabric of the neighborhood. We welcome thoughtful feedback from the Committee that can help refine and improve this plan as we continue our commitment to building responsibly and respectfully within this historic community. Scale, massing, and height • HLC Comment: Generally, the neighbors on the same street have single-story houses or, if there is a second floor, it is setback from the front or visually hidden by a side-gabled roof. There is no setback in this design, nor does the plan call for breaking up the height visually from the ground to the top of the second story. • Reply: Both adjacent properties—one of which is a contributing structure—are two-story homes. The proposed second story at 1703 Alameda has been carefully designed with thoughtful setbacks to reduce visual impact: 12 feet from the leftmost forward wall, 4 feet from the front of the porch, and 13 feet from the rightmost portion of the front-facing wall. Additionally, the front porch features its own distinct roofline, which further helps to break up the vertical massing and soften the visual transition from the ground level to the second story. • HLC Comment: The massing features the two-story central mass with a projecting front garage and a corner bedroom on the ground floor, along with a kitchen and living room at the rear.” • Reply: The two-story central mass of 1703 Alameda is set back from the projecting front-facing garage and the corner bedroom on the ground floor. A covered front porch, positioned between these two elements, further breaks up the front …

1703 Alameda Response to questions posed at ARC • Comment made: • Design/Exterior Materials: • Questions about consistency and appropriateness in the historic setting. • Observed that the design appears to take inspiration from a new neighboring house (stucco), rather than fitting the established character of the street. • Response • We have reconsidered using stucco as the primary siding and will be using a combination of Siding from the 1700 Block of contributing houses. Which include: • Board and Batton • Horizontal Siding • Brick/Stone • Renderings and drawings have not been updated as the turnaround time was short, but will re-submit ASAP. Introduction – Response to questions posed at ARC. • Comment made: • Garage Placement and Grade Issues: • Concerns about the garage being set lower relative to the main floor, producing a split-level effect. • Questions about the site plan's handling of natural grade and the garage's elevation, with some confusion based on the submitted drawings. • Excavation is being used to keep the building's profile lower, but this may create practical or visual inconsistencies. • Response • 5’ elevation gain (526’-532’) in house footprint • Visitability of the entire main living area was the primary focus • Combination of excavation in the back yard to help reduce the overall height of the house and grading in the front of the house to help blend the driveway to the natural grade will be used. Introduction – Response to questions posed at ARC. • Comment made: • Suggestions included reconsidering the prominent arch (possibly removing it or replacing with a framed opening) to help scale and reduce visual disjunction. • Response • The Arch will be removed and replaced with a framed opening (Arch still present in Included Renderings).

Historic Landmark Commission, We are writing to you in support of the current house at 1703 Alameda Dr should be demolished. We have lived on Alameda Dr. for 10 years, and that house has been falling into more and more disrepair. We would happily see it go, but like to see a new build that preserves the character of Travis Heights. Sincerely, Amy and Craig Rochette 1707 Alameda Dr.
