Clark, Kate From: Sent: To: Subject: Jim Karabaic Monday, August 23, 2021 10:35 PM Clark, Kate opposition to rezoning of 1725 Toomey Road property *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Hello Ms. Clark, I am submitting this letter in opposition to the proposed 'rezoning' of the property at 1725 Toomey Rd. I have been a resident here for many years, and I believe the 'rezoning' of this property will only worsen a safety issue that we are already dealing with. As you may know, there are several 'events' held throughout the year at Zilker Park and the surrounding grounds. Whenever we have one of these events such as ACL Festival, Blues on the Green, The Trail of Lights, etc, we experience a large traffic jam all along our streets (Toomey Road and Sterzing avenue). The safety concern is this: With cars packing both sides of the road and traffic at a standstill (it's like a full parking lot with cars barely moving for hours at a time), there is absolutely NO WAY that the city would be able to get a fire truck down here, or an EMS vehicle, or a police officer. When we are 'blocked in' by these (already existing) traffic jams, we are at grave risk ‐ if we were in need of the services of the Austin Fire Department, the Austin EMS, or the police. Rezoning this property and increasing the population here (fivefold) will only make it much worse. The current number of units here is about forty. The proposal for 'rezoning' includes a request for up to 215 units here. This is simply going to make the location even more 'unsafe', because it will just lead to even more cars and more crowding. Does the City of Austin have plans to completely 'relocate' the Austin City Limits Music Festival or the Blues on the Green, or the Trail of Lights? Do they have a plan to use the 'Starflight Helicopter here? Will it land in the baseball fields? Finally, there is a legitimate concern to preserve at least some 'affordable housing' in the downtown Austin area. The people who live here are teachers, nurses, airline pilots, and state workers. My neighbors are hard working people, and we are not millionaires. This area already has several high rise buildings in which the rents start at $2,000.00 a month and go up from there. New …
From: Dewitt Peart < Sent: Monday, August 23, 2021 8:03 AM To: Brummett, Elizabeth <Elizabeth.Brummett@austintexas.gov> Cc: Subject: 909 Congress Avenue appeal *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Elizabeth, please forward this note to the members of the Historic Landmark Commission in advance of their meeting on Tuesday, August 24, 2021. Dear Commissioners, I write to you in support of item 15 on your August 24, 2021 agenda, an appeal of the Historic Landmark Commission’s denial of a Certificate of Appropriateness for the deconstruction and reconstruction of 909 Congress Avenue facade. The Downtown Austin Alliance is supportive of the plan to reconstruct this historic façade, along with those at 907 and 911 Congress Avenue, and understand that without this first step that process will not be able to proceed. We look forward to working with the applicant as the project evolves and are comforted to know that there will be a restrictive covenant on the property requiring that the owner has only three years to replace the facades. This gives us the assurance that within that timeframe this portion of Congress Avenue will be reconstructed in keeping with the historic nature of the avenue. We understand that there is broad support for this proposal and we join in that support. We ask that you vote for this appeal. Sincerely, Dewitt Peart
