Supporting Documents for Architectural Review Committee for discussion November 30, 2020 To: Committee Members, Architectural Review Committee From: Robin and Taylor Bruce – owners of 1406 Ethridge Ave, and Sam Burch, architect for 1406 Ethridge Ave Date: Provided to the Committee on November 25, 2020 Subject: Proposed Renovation of 1406 Ethridge Ave, Austin TX 78703 Response We are submitting this statement in support of granting permit to move forward with updates and renovations at 1406 Ethridge Ave (“1406”), Austin, TX 78703 in order to extend the life of the home and update its premises to allow for comfortable occupancy for a family of five. As we shared in our original meeting with the HLC on November 16, 2020, we (owners, Robin and Taylor Bruce) are incredibly grateful to the HLC for highlighting the pioneering legacy of the original occupants of 1406, Reverend Edmund Heinsohn and his family. We feel honored to be the stewards of this home’s legacy of inclusion and warmth and to be raising our children amidst such shared values. Our aim in this proposed renovation is to preserve the defining qualities of 1406 while updating the space to accommodate our family of five and plant firm roots in the surrounding neighborhood. We also wanted to reiterate here the expert opinion of Sam Burch, architect, in response to the specific elements detailed in the HLC’s review: • The garage is in fact not a new addition as is stated on C.3-2. The garage was added in 2004 and currently has a composition shingle roof and fiber lap siding. Our plans account for recladding the exterior, replacing the composition shingle and adding living space in the existing attic which will not change the overall roofline. We are adding a dormer that is visible from the driveway. These updates will improve the look and feel of the garage from the street. • The new addition detailed in submitted plans at the rear of the house is replacing an existing addition that was constructed in 1994. It is poorly built and contributes nothing to the existing home. When this addition was built all of the existing stone on the rear of the original house was removed. • While the proposed front porch will somewhat alter the front of the house, the intent is for the owner to be able to enjoy the neighborhood and engage with their neighbors. That is currently …
APPLICATION FOR A PERMIT WITHIN A NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION CONGRESS AVENUE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT NOVEMBER 16, 2020 506 CONGRESS AVENUE C.6 - 1 PROPOSAL Paint a mural on the face of the building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant proposes painting a mural on the face of the building on Congress Avenue. This building was the former Yaring’s Store, but was architecturally modified in 2002 with the installation of additional tall fixed sash windows in the second story and a new steel and glass storefront, so that it may no longer be contributing to the Congress Avenue National Register Historic District. The changes were reviewed and approved by the Commission in 2002. 506 Congress Avenue prior to 2002 remodeling 506 Congress Avenue after renovations The proposed mural is large and colorful with a soccer motif. It was designed by renowned Spanish artist Ruben Sanchez; Here is his website https://www.iamrubensanchez.com C.6 - 2 STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation do not apply to artwork applied to buildings in historic districts, and the Commission has no specific guidelines or standards for proposed artwork. The mural could be removed in the future without damage to the structure. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS C.6 - 3 Not reviewed. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends postponement to resolve outstanding questions and processes relating to this building and proposal. The pre-2002 façade of the Yaring’s Building was not yet 50 years old at the time that the Commission reviewed the modifications to the storefront and upper story, and the Congress Avenue historic district nomination did not call out the building as significant (there were no determinations of contributing or non-contributing structures in that nomination). The question now is whether the building retains sufficient integrity to relate its history so that it would be contributing to the historic district today. This building is between two historic landmarks: the Robinson-Rosner Building at 504 Congress Avenue to the south, and the Scarbrough Building to the north. The Commission should identify and evaluate any concerns about introducing a bold and colorful mural on this building as it potentially affects the context of the two adjacent historic landmark buildings as well as the context of the Congress Avenue Historic District. The applicant should consult with the staff of the Art in Public Places program for their input on this mural before the Commission renders a decision.
November 29, 2020 To the Austin Historic Landmark Commission, Chair and Commissioners: In August of 2020, we contracted to purchase 815 W. 11th Street with the intent of demolishing the structure and rebuilding with a structure that is compatible with the growing area around downtown. The zoning by the City of Austin allows for +/- 4400 SF. If the Code Next were approved, the zoning would allow up to 6600 SF. The zoning is for office use, which is what we intend for the property, consisting of our offices and maybe one other office tenant. Our business is a local consulting firm working 8-5 M-F, comparable to other uses on the street. When we were looking for a home for our office, we wanted to be in the downtown area, following the intent of the City of Austin to be more dense in the downtown area, thus less city sprawl and more accessible to public services and transportation. We put a contract on 815 W. 11th and discussed the need for a demolition permit with the Owner. Vivien agreed to sign applicable paperwork with the city to allow for the demolition permit. That is covered in our contract for purchase. We pursued the demolition permit with the understanding that if we could not obtain the permit, we would not be able to purchase the property. In order to apply for the demo permit, we discovered the city of Austin requires a clean tax certificate prior to placing the item on the HLC agenda. So, we asked for one from the TCAD. We found out that 3 years of taxes had not been paid. We spoke to Vivien about this and she did not have the funds to pay for the taxes. In good faith, we paid the taxes on her behalf so that we could be on the HLC agenda. We were under the impression that Vivien still supported our request for a demo permit. Our first hearing was postponed as staff requested more time to review. Durin the last HLC meeting, we discovered that Vivien submitted a rejection memo to the HLC opposing the demolition. We found this out just before the meeting. The demo permit was placed on Consent Agenda, but with her opposition (and assuming she was the applicant), the HLC pulled the item for discussion and then referred to the case to the ARC. We are …
