HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-2021-121884 1204 E. 6TH STREET D.6 – 1 PROPOSAL Relocate a ca. 1900 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story wing-and-gable Folk Victorian house with traditional cornice returns and eave detailing at gable end, a partial- width inset front porch with shed roof supported by chamfered columns with molding, a split transom window above the front door, and 4:4 paired and single wood windows throughout. Archival photos show that the porch’s jigsawn trim has been removed. The date of the house is uncertain. While the house appears to be ca. 1900, occupants are listed as early as 1885 at an earlier address for the property. Sanborn Fire Insurance maps first show this area in 1894, and the house has the same footprint. Travis Central Appraisal District records list the date as 1907. Wastewater service was first supplied in 1917. Frank Torrens, a German carpenter and woodcarver, lived at 1206 E. Pecan/E. 6th St. between 1885 and 1888. It briefly served as a boardinghouse. Frank Zakrison lived in the house from 1903–1935, and Lillie and Anna Zakrison also lived in the house during that time. Frank Zakrison was a listed as a baker and owning a bakery at 1200 E. 6th Street in the 1912 directory. Lillie Zakrison owned the house in 1935. The lot next door to 1204 E. 6th St., which later became a tortilleria in the mid-twentieth century, was occupied by another Swedish family, the Malmbergs, during the time of the Zakrisons' residence at the turn of the century. This contextual evidence speaks to a close-knit community of recent Swedish immigrants to Austin in the area, as well as the later shift from European immigrants to Mexican American families in the general area. The house was occupied by renters from 1937–1944, notably the Sandoval family rented the house from 1941–1944. Flavio C. Sandoval was a prominent Mexican American grocer who had at least two retail locations at 1103 E. 6th and 1200 Rosewood Ave. Fermin G. and Cristina Sanchez occupied the house from 1947–1959 first listed as renters and later as owners. Fermin Sanchez worked as a construction worker and laborer. PROPERTY EVALUATION The East Austin Historic Resources Survey (Hardy Heck Moore, Inc., 2016) recommends this house as a potential local landmark as well as contributing to the potential East Sixth Street Historic District, which is recommended as eligible for local …

Clarksville. C.1. PR-2021-055578, 1805 Waterston Avenue My name is Mary Reed and I am speaking on behalf of the Clarksville Community Development Corporation (CCDC) as its board president. We are the neighborhood organization for historic We oppose release of a demo permit for 1805 Waterston Avenue for several reasons in addition to the fact that the home contributes to the Clarksville National Register Historic District. • First, the home at this address is not in a state of disrepair – it’s a fully remodeled home that Nalle Custom Homes purchased for over a million dollars! • Second, it makes no sense from an environmental standpoint to send a perfectly good house to the landfill. • Third, the new house Nalle wants to build will make Clarksville even less affordable than it is now and may very well force some current residents who are already struggling with the cost of housing in the neighborhood to move. • And finally, Nalle’s proposed new home is totally inappropriate for Clarksville. For starters, it’s too busy, too big, too tall, it’s architecture is incompatible with the simple traditional architecture of the neighborhood, it features brick accents and a brick chimney – brick is not a building material used in Clarksville -- and it has double front-facing garages. The house design may be appropriate for Tarrytown, Westlake, or suburbia, but not for Clarksville. Since June 3, when representatives of the CCDC first met with Jesse Nalle of Nalle Custom Homes, we have tried to get the company to revise its plans to make them more Clarksville. We provided him with specific suggestions and also recommended that he drive around Clarksville to get a sense of the neighborhood. Initially, Mr. Nalle appeared very open to our thoughts and ideas and said that he would send us new plans based on our comments. Over the ensuing months in email exchanges with him, he repeatedly promised that new plans would be coming, but we have seen nothing. In fact, the drawings in the backup materials for this case are exactly what we saw when we met with Mr. Nalle nearly four months ago. The CCDC asks that therefore that you deny the requested demo permit and ask Nalle Custom Homes to meet with members of the Architectural Review Committee for specific guidance on designing a home that is in keeping with historic Clarksville. Thank you.

C.3.e - 1104 Toyath St - citizen comment — original pdf
C.3. HR-2021-115725, 1104 Toyath My name is Mary Reed and I am speaking on behalf of the Clarksville Community Development Corporation (CCDC) as its board president. We object to the plans for the new home Paradisa Homes wants to build at 1104 Toyath because it’s incompatible with other homes on the street and with the mass and scale of traditional Clarksville architecture. Aside from the board and batten siding, Paradisa seems to have assumed that the kind of home it builds in other neighborhoods, mostly non-historic neighborhoods from what we can tell by visiting the company’s website, would be appropriate for Clarksville. Paradisa Homes also appears to have overlooked the impact of their home’s height on its neighbors and especially on the Lawson House, the landmarked home next door. It will loom over that house. Furthermore, the roof deck ensures that the next door neighbors on Toyath as well as several neighbors in the 1800 block of West 11th whose backyards abut the back yard of 1104, will lose their privacy. We would like Paradisa go back to the drawing board and design a home more fitting for Clarksville and for the 1100 block of Toyath in particular. Thank you.
