UNDERSTANDING THAT THE FIELD OF PRESERVATION CONTAINS SUBJECTIVITY, WE APPRECIATE THE STANDARD THE BOARD DECIDED TO UPHOLD. WE HAVE ADJUSTED OUR PROPOSAL BASED ON THAT STANDARD. PLEASE REVIEW OUR REVISED REQUEST THAT RETAINS THE POSITION OF THE FRONT DOOR, WINDOWS, AND A PORTICO ON THE STREET FACADE OF THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE WHILE ALSO MAINTAINING OUR PREVIOUS PROPOSAL ELEMENTS OF MATERIALITY AND SCALE. "REHABILITATION AS A TREATMENT IS DEFINED AS THE ACT OR PROCESS OF MAKING POSSIBLE A COMPATIBLE USE FOR A PROPERTY THROUGH REPAIR, ALTERATIONS, AND ADDITIONS WHILE PRESERVING THOSE PORTIONS OR FEATURES WHICH CONVEY IT'S HISTORICAL, CULTURAL, OR ARCHITECTURAL VALUE." ‐ GRIMMER, ANNE E.

PER STEVE SADOWSKY SUPPORT LETTER: "THE GOVALLE NEIGHBORHOOD IS UNIQUE IN AUSTIN IN THAT IT DEVELOPED OUT OF A LARGE AGRICULTURAL TRACT WATERED BY BOGGY CREEK AND THE COLORADO RIVER. MANY HOUSES DATING FROM THE 1930s, SUCH AS THIS ONE, REFLECT THE EARLY AGRICULTURAL WORKING CLASS HISTORY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. RESIDENTS WORKED AT AREA FARMS OR AT BLUE COLLAR OCCUPATIONS IN NEARBY AUSTIN. WHILE THIS HOUSE MAY NOT QUALIFY AS AN INDIVIDUAL HISTORIC LANDMARK, ITS PRESERVATION IS IMPORTANT TO REFLECT THE HISTORY AND HERITAGE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND WOULD BE CONTRIBUTING TO A POTENTIAL GOVALLE HISTORIC DISTRICT." 2-STORY UNIT 2-STORY UNIT 2-STORY UNIT I T N U Y R O T S - 2 2-STORY UNIT I T N U Y R O T S - 2 I T N U Y R O T S - 2 DROPHOUSE DESIGN 444 E ST ELMO UNIT A2 AUSTIN, TX 78741 512.425.0024 3612 GOVALLE AVE: VARIANCE REQUEST NEIGHBORHOOD CONTEXT V‐003 11/19/2020 F-1/4-PRESENTATION3612 GOVALLE AVE VARIANCE REQUEST: IN ORDER TO PRESERVE THE EXISTING 1937 COTTAGE WHICH SITES AT THE STREETFRONT ON 3612 GOVALLE AVE, THE OWNER IS REQUESTING AN INCREASE IN ADU SQUARE FOOTAGE SPECIFICALLY, A VARIANCE FROM 25‐2‐774‐C‐5‐a: "SECOND DWELLING UNIT MAY NOT EXCEED: 1,100 TOTAL SQFT OR A FAR OF 0.15, WHICHEVER IS SMALLER" ‐ MAX ALLOWED: 1,100 SQFT ‐ THE OWNER IS REQUESTING 2,000 SQFT; 25‐2‐774‐C‐5‐b: SECOND DWELLING UNIT MAY NOT EXCEED 550 SQFT ON THE SECOND STORY." ‐ MAX ALLOWABLE: 550 SQFT ‐ THE OWNER IS REQUESTING 1,100 SQFT.
