Brummett, Elizabeth From: Sent: To: Subject: Scott Boone Saturday, February 20, 2021 2:30 PM PAZ Preservation Case Number GF 21-014461 Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Completed *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Hi, As a resident at 1014 E 9th st in receipt of a public notice w/r/t the certificate of appropriateness, I would like to comment that I am IN FAVOR of the addition of an ADU, if only in the hopes that it might present an opportunity for a little more density. And sure, throw in a basement. But more broadly, I would prefer the upzoning of the entire neighborhood to allow by‐right installation of up to six units per lot, rather than another conversion of a barely‐historically‐significant unit into a $2m unit. The historicity of this neighborhood lies in its occupants, not the facades of its bungalows. If someone wants to pay that much to be within walking distance of Quickie Pickie, more power to them, but let's not pretend like they're doing anything historic. Let 'em turn it into a boarding house or a triplex, that would be historically‐ accurate. Good luck at the meeting!

Construct a new residence. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish existing one-story house. 2) Construct a new building. The proposed residence is two stories in height, capped with a standing-seam metal roof with compound roofline. Cladding materials include stucco, horizontal fiber cement siding, vertical fiber cement siding, vertical cedar screen, and standing-seam metal. The main elevation features a partial-width porch. Fenestration includes fixed, undivided windows of varying sizes, dimensions, and orientations; they are arranged in mostly regular patterns that vary among floors and bays. ARCHITECTURE Cross-gabled, single-story house with metal roof, horizontal wood siding, paired front doors, partial-width front porch, and 1:1 single and mulled windows with 2:2 screens. RESEARCH The house at 1007 Maufrais Street was built in 1941 by Houston C. Piland and his wife, Nettie. Piland worked as a railway clerk and claim adjustor. The Pilands lived in the home for the rest of the 1940s, then sold it to mechanical and electrical contractor Ernest Jernigan, along with spouse Mildred Jernigan. The Jernigans did not stay long; by 1955, the Lawson family was renting the home. Opal Lawson worked for the Travis County tax assessor, and her husband Marvin was a mechanic with the Constant Service Company. After a brief vacancy, Robert Finlay purchased the house in 1959, then constructed an addition in 1961.

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish a ca. 1953 carport with attached storage shed. 2) Rebuild existing retaining wall. 3) Construct a new ADU. The proposed ADU is two stories, with an open carport on the ground level and living space above, supported by exposed steel beams. It is clad in board-and-batten siding. The compound hipped, shed, and gabled roof is clad in standing-seam metal, and exposed rafter tails are visible at north, south, and east elevations. A metal guardrail surrounds the covered porch and elevated walkway. The east elevation includes a screened porch. RESEARCH The house at 1510 W. 24th Street was built in 1946 by Major General Arthur Balfour Knickerbocker, Texas State Adjutant, after his resignation as leader of the Texas National Guard. An Odessa native, Knickerbocker helped to organize the state guard there and served as commander until his 1942 appointment by Governor Coke Stevenson. After leaving the Guard in 1946, Knickerbocker and his family left their Camp Mabry living quarters and constructed this home in Pemberton Heights. The carport and attached storage shed were built in 1953 by subsequent owner-occupants Raleigh R. Ross, a physician, and his family. Dr. Ross served as chief of surgery at Brackenridge Hospital before climbing to chief of staff and, for a time, interim superintendent. During the 1950s and beyond, Ross chaired the State Board of Hospitals and Special Schools. Ross also served as president of the Travis County Medical Society and sat on the Board of Trustees for the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Crippled Children, among other hospital boards. In a 1980 American-Statesman article, Ross is credited with helping to modernize Austin’s medical system after World War II.

01 March 2021 Claman Residence 1517 Murray Lane Austin, Texas Historic Review Application Proposed Work Structure 1. Due to the age and condition of the existing foundations, demolition and replacement of the existing foundation and ground floor slab is required to meet existing structural requirements and codes. The new foundations will match the current footprint of the original house on the North, West and South sides of the structure, with one exception. Currently, the North elevation projects 6” into the 5’ set back and this will be pulled back to align with the required set back. 2. Due to the replacement of the foundations, most if not all of the framing, except for the west wall at the first floor will be replaced to allow for proper replacement of the foundations.

B.5 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MARCH 22, 2021 SMOOT-TERRACE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 803 PRESSLER STREET PROPOSAL Construct a new accessory dwelling unit and garage behind a non-contributing building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Remove garage from rear of non-contributing house. 2) Construct detached garage with apartment above. The proposed new L-plan building is two stores, clad in horizontal siding with a cross-gabled roof and second-floor shed dormer at the east elevation. Fenestration includes irregularly placed, undivided fixed and casement windows of varying dimensions, two rooftop skylights, fully glazed sliding door, and a front-facing garage door. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Smoot-Terrace Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. New construction shall have the same street orientation and distance from adjacent buildings as the contributing buildings in the same block. 3. Setbacks for new construction of a new auxiliary building, such as a garage, shall be consistent with setbacks of the district’s contributing auxiliary buildings by taking the average of the existing setbacks of contributing auxiliary buildings on the same block face, or by aligning with the setback of one adjacent contributing auxiliary buildings. This may allow setbacks that are shallower than the base zoning. The proposed ADU has the same street orientation as others in the district. It is set back 5’ and 6’ from the front and side walls of the existing non-contributing house and approximately 71’ from the street. 4. Design new buildings so that they are compatible with, but differentiated from, historic buildings in the district. The proposed building is differentiated from historic buildings in the district by its steeper roof pitch and modern window materials and configurations. The design’s simplicity enhances compatibility, though the street-facing garage door is less compatible. 5. For new residential buildings, garages shall be set back at least 15 feet from the front wall of the building (excluding the porch). The proposed garage apartment is set back approximately 46’ from the front wall of the existing house. 6. Protect large trees from damage during construction and from delayed damage due to construction activities. All applicants must coordinate with the appropriate City departments to coordinate tree protection during demolition and construction. The project mostly meets the applicable standards. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK Consider garage relocation. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the plans. B.5 - 2

The house at 1517 Murray Lane was constructed in 1927-28 by William H. and Delle M. Morley. Morley was the son of W.J. Morley, proprietor of Morley Brothers Druggists, the oldest continuously operating pharmacy and wholesale drug manufacturer in Austin at the time. W.J. Morley and his brother famously employed author Sidney Porter (pseudonym O. Henry), in the latter half of the 19th century. The Morley Brothers Building at 209 East 6th Street is a City of Austin Landmark. S.K. Morley’s house at 510 Baylor Street is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is also an Austin landmark. S.K. Morley, William H. Morley’s uncle, does not appear to be associated with the Morley drug manufacturing business after the sale of the 6th Street drugstore in the early 1930s. However, William H. Morley continued to run the drug manufacturing and wholesale business from his home at 1517 Murray Lane. Morley’s products were sold under multiple manufacturer names, including Cactus …

The house is clad in horizontal wood siding with wood and vinyl windows and French doors at the second story, leading to a small deck atop a screened porch addition. A brick chimney adorns the main gable. The house at 1623 Waterston Avenue was constructed in 1937 for Margaret Robertson, daughter of Judge James Harvey Robertson. It served as a rental property until at least 1959. Its longest-term residents were Lewis and Lillian Mayfield. Lewis Mayfield worked as a stonemason and was known for his steadfast support of the Austin Pioneers baseball team, never missing a home game. Lillian Mayfield worked as a fitter and seamstress at Juanita Morris Hat Shop and served as president of the senior hostesses of the USO throughout the 1940s.

The house has minimal Greek Revival details, such as the slender, un-fluted columns and simple frieze trim under the eaves. There are two entry doors from the front porch and two double-hung, wood windows on the façade. The porch has a low railing with turned spindles and the house is sided with narrow, drop siding, and has a composition shingle roof.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION MARCH 22, 2021 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HR-2021-029755 CLARKSVILLE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1104 TOYATH STREET C.9 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1922 contributing house. ARCHITECTURE One-story gable-roofed house with full-width porch, clad in horizontal wood siding with board-and-batten at gable end. Fenestration includes 1:1 wood windows and an offset front door that may have once been paired. The roof is clad in seamed metal and features exposed rafter tails. RESEARCH The building at 1104 Toyath Street was built around 1922. In its earliest years, the lot hosted a rental property owned by laundress Luisa Roberts, who hosted up to four tenant families at a time. Most tenants worked as laborers or in the service industry. Renter Walter Carrington purchased the property between 1918 and 1920; newspaper records indicate that the current house was built in 1922. Carrington worked at Butler Bricks before becoming a carpenter; his wife, Josephine Johnson Carrington, worked as a cook. Their son, Ralph Carrington, was a painter and contractor. Despite legal trouble, including a 1941 murder charge reported in the Statesman, Ralph Carrington took possession of the home after 1958 and remained there for at least ten years. He constructed two additions to the house: one in 1948 for his mother, and another in 1968. STAFF COMMENTS The house is named as a contributing building in a 2018 inventory of the Clarksville National Register Historic District. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate to high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two historic designation criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). The property may demonstrate significance according to City Code: a) Architecture. The building displays Craftsman influences. b) Historical association. The Commission may wish to consider Walter and Josephine Carrington’s status as long-term Clarksville residents who rented, then owned, their property—one of the limited paths to homeownership for Black residents in segregated twentieth-century Austin. c) Archaeology. The house was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d) Community value. The house does not possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that contributes to the character, image, or cultural identity of the city, the neighborhood, or a particular demographic group. e) Landscape feature. The property is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical …

Evaluation: While Tudor Revival houses may have terraces, that feature was not historically present at this property. 6) Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. Evaluation: The attic fan was a later intervention, and restoration of the decorative half-timbering treatment at the gable end is appropriate. 9) New additions, exterior alterations or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. Evaluation: The proposed wall at the sidewalk is compatible with the historic character of the property. Though low-lying, the pool, terrace, and fence will be visible and may not be an appropriate new intervention at a historic landmark property. 10) New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be …

Two-story, cross-gabled Tudor Revival house with brick cladding and half-timbering and stucco in the front-facing gable end. ARCHITECTURE STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate projects on historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 6) Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture and, where possible, materials.

The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. Evaluation: The proposed wall at the sidewalk is compatible with the historic character of the property, and the proposed wrought-iron fence surrounding the pool area is a compatible fence type. Though low-lying and largely integrated into the landscape, the pool edge will be visible from the street and may not be an appropriate new intervention at a historic landmark property. 10) New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic …
B.3 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MARCH 22, 2021 C14H-2009-0021 YERWOOD-SIMOND HOUSE 2005 HAMILTON STREET PROPOSAL Installation of skylights on side and rear-facing roof slopes. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Remove existing light tubes on side-facing roof slopes. 2) Install six low-profile skylights on side- and rear-facing roof slopes, finished to match the existing roofing, to create usable interior space in the attic. ARCHITECTURE One-story, roughly rectangular-plan hipped-and-gabled brick veneered frame house with single and paired 1:1 windows; round-arched entry and arcade along the west elevation of the house; exterior stepped brick chimney on the front façade with randomly-placed stones and caps. The house has Tudor Revival influences in its prominent front gable, but is also reminiscent of colonial French architecture in southern Louisiana with its round-arched brick arcade, gable-on-hip roof style, and massing. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate projects on historic landmarks. The following standard applies to the proposed project: 9) New additions, exterior alterations or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. Evaluation: The proposed skylights add usable square footage to the house with minimal exterior intervention. The low profile, color selection, and placement to avoid the street-facing roof slope are compatible with and do not detract from character-defining features of the historic house. The project meets the applicable standards. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK The skylights’ placement, low profile, and matching color are compatible with the house’s roof. Committee members supported conditional administrative approval, pending review by the full Commission out of concern that the case could be precedent-setting. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Concur with Committee feedback and approve the application, while acknowledging this solution may not be appropriate for other landmarks. Staff wishes to note multiple factors specific to this recommendation. The house has a composition shingle roof, a material which is not original, is cyclically replaced, and does not have a distinctive decorative pattern. Further, light tubes installed in the roof prior to the landmark designation in 2009 provide a precedent for this type of intervention. Although larger, the skylights’ lower placement and matching color may be less disruptive to the house’s appearance. …
HAM / Hamilton Avenue Residence Remodel 2005 Hamilton Avenue - Architectural Review Committee Presentation m(ødm) HAM / Hamilton Avenue Residence Remodel markodomstudio.com 21.02.09 2005 Hamilton Avenue The Yerwood-Simoud House, locally known as 2005 Hamilton Avenue, is an existing single family residence that was built in 1939 by Dr. Charles Yerwood, and his wife Ada Marie DeBlanc Simond. The home’s interiors were remodeled in 2014, but left the unfinished attic untouched. The Hamilton Avenue Residence Remodel converts the existing attic volume into a warm, useable space for the current residences. The project completely redefines the interior experience, all while being intentionally respectful to the exterior appearance of this historic home. No additions or alterations were made to the front elevation of the home. The primary focus of the remodel is the redesign of the existing attic space, within the existing roof volume. The experience of the new volume is enhanced by the additional of 6 new “Fakro” skylights. This slim model (less than 6” from shingle to top of glass) allow sunlight to wash into the new living space, enhancing the environment, and save energy by providing natural daylight. Intentional details transport the occupant to the light filled space for reading, gathering and entertaining that complement the space main house below. In this new celebrated space, located within an existing gable, an additional seating area off of the main program that is enhanced by skylights and provide comfortable space for living. intent m(ødm) markodomstudio.comHAM / Hamilton Avenue Residence Remodel21.02.09 Exterior Photos_ 2005 Hamilton Avenue -front elevation would remain as is -showing all sides of roof to receive new skylights -existing circular vents would be removed and roofing would be replaced in kind m(ødm) markodomstudio.comHAM / Hamilton Avenue Residence Remodel21.02.09 Existing Conditions_ Pre-existing Attic Conditions -space currently only receives natural light from singular window -existing solar tubes to be removed/repaired in kind m(ødm) markodomstudio.comHAM / Hamilton Avenue Residence Remodel21.02.09 drawings - floor plans m(ødm) markodomstudio.comHAM / Hamilton Avenue Residence Remodel21.02.09 CAR 1 CAR 2 EXISTING GRAVEL K C A B T E S D R A Y K C A B ' 5 EXISTING WOOD DECK BACK YARD EXISTING LANDSCAPE TO REMAIN 5' SIDE YARD SETBACK EXISTING DRIVE EXISTING 2-STORY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE 5' SIDE YARD SETBACK PROPERTY LINE 25'-0" EXISTING FRONT YARD SETBACK EXISTING GRAVEL WALK P E T S E U N E V A N O T L I …

PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Catalog and store, then re-erect the historic building façades as part of a redevelopment project at a later date. Per the applicant, stabilization of the buildings in place is not technically feasible. The project received preliminary approval from the Historic Landmark Commission on January 26, 2015 and June 25, 2018, pending development of more detailed plans for treatment of the façades. ARCHITECTURE Three two-part commercial blocks sharing party walls; buildings are boarded at the street level. At the second floor, the Grandberry Building at 907 Congress has two-over-two light windows with decorative hood moulds, and the Mitchell-Robertson Building at 909 Congress has one-over-one windows and corbelled brickwork at the cornice. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate projects on historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 2) The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. 5) Distinctive materials, features, finishes and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved. 6) Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. While deconstruction and reconstruction of a historic landmark is not a recommended treatment, intensive intervention is necessitated in this case due to major, longstanding conditions. Provided the project entails sufficient care to document, dismantle, store, and re-erect the buildings using original materials to the greatest extent feasible, the project will meet the applicable standards. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK Consider stabilization of building façades in place rather than removal and reconstruction; provide a detailed condition assessment or other analysis of the buildings’ conditions; and pay particular attention to keeping the corbelled brickwork on the Mitchell-Robertson Building intact. Committee members expressed concern regarding having the buildings down for an indefinite period prior to the redevelopment. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Support the project in …

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a 6’ tall fence between the south wall of the building and the south property line. The fence consists of horizontal tongue-and-groove wood boards set in a narrow wood frame, with 7’ tall wood posts framing a gate opening. The gate consists of paired arched wood doors with decorative carving. The fence and gate will be set back from the front wall and located behind the chimney. ARCHITECTURE STANDARDS FOR REVIEW 1½-story Tudor Revival house with arched entrance, multi-lite wood-sash wood windows, half-timbering, exterior chimney, and cross-gabled roof. The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards are used to evaluate proposed changes to historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces, and the spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. The proposed project retains the property’s historic character. No distinctive materials or features are proposed to be removed or altered. 3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be undertaken. The proposed project does not create a false sense of historical development. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. The proposed project will not destroy historic materials, features, or spatial relationships. The fence is a clean modern design with compatible materials, and the gate is distinct from the style of the building. Both are subordinate to the house in location and size and, while visible from the public right of way, will not detract from the property’s historic character. 10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION MARCH 22, 2021 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0479 5613 PATTON RANCH ROAD D.1 - 1 PROPOSAL Deconstruct and move a log cabin and two log outbuildings that date from around 1870. ARCHITECTURE The main structure on the site is a ca. 1870 log cabin with a limestone fireplace, exterior chimney, and foundation. The house has several more recent additions and the windows and doors have been replaced with more modern units. Also on the site and subject to the permit applications are two outbuildings: a pole barn constructed of stacked timber with stone chinking, and a log crib. The date of construction of the outbuildings is not known. RESEARCH STAFF COMMENTS It appears that this complex as the home of James A. Patton, who settled in the Oak Hill neighborhood around 1870. Patton deeded this land to his son Robert, who in turn left it to his own daughter, Nellie Patton Miller. Later documents refer to this site as the Miller Ranch house. The structures were documented in the Historic Resources Survey of Southwest Travis County, commissioned by the Travis County Historical Commission in 2015, which recommended that this complex was eligible for individual listing in the National Register of Historic Places, and contributing to a potential historic district. Staff initially facilitated negotiations between the property owners and the leadership at Pioneer Farms, which would be willing to accept the cabin and outbuildings for future use and interpretation on their museum property. However, neighborhood residents expressed concern with this significant resource leaving the area. The applicant has since considered alternatives that would retain the cabin closer to its original location and provided a proposal to the Oak Hill Association of Neighborhoods for consideration. STAFF RECOMMENDATION While staff can support relocation of the cabin in the interest of its preservation, details of the proposed solution were not available at the time of this report.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION MARCH 22, 2021 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HR-2021-029766 702 HUERTA STREET D.12 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1948 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story, flat-roofed house constructed of concrete masonry units with some limestone cladding under the partial-width porch. The house at 702 Huerta Street (originally 702 Acorn Place) was built around 1948. The earliest listed owners were William J. and Bobbie A. Greenawalt, who resided in the house for much of the 1950s. By 1959, Margarito C. “Mike” Huerta and Mary Louise Calderon owned the home. Huerta was a short- and long-haul truck driver who had a 52-year business relationship with Capital Aggregates. In the 1990s, the City honored him for being Austin’s oldest truck driver with an exemplary driving record, renaming Acorn Place to Huerta Street in his honor. Huerta lived in the house until his death in 2014. STAFF COMMENTS 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate to low integrity. 3) Properties must meet two historic designation criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated this house for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that the house does not meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: a) Architecture. The house does not appear to convey architectural significance. b) Historical association. The house was the longtime residence of Margarito “Mike” Huerta, for c) Archaeology. The house was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the whom the street is named. human history or prehistory of the region. d) Community value. The house does not possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that contributes to the character, image, or cultural identity of the city, the neighborhood, or a particular demographic group. e) Landscape feature. The property is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Encourage rehabilitation and adaptive re-use, but release the permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION MARCH 22, 2021 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HR-2021-029739 1308 TRAVIS HEIGHTS BOULEVARD D.13 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1922 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story bungalow with horizontal wood siding, hipped roof with clipped gable at façade, partial-width porch, and attached carport. Fenestration includes paired 1:1 windows and replacement picture window. The house at 1308 Travis Heights Boulevard was built around 1922 by Woodhull T. and Thelma Lehmann. The Lehmanns did not stay in the house long; by 1927 they had sold the property to the Maloy family, its longest-term residents. James J. Maloy worked as a hardware clerk at the Walter Tips Company. Mary Maloy was an active leader in charity work for St. Ignatius Catholic Church. She helped to found the Home of the Holy Infancy, a charity for dependent infants at Seton Hospital, and served as its president. After Mary Maloy’s death in 1944, her son, James H. Maloy, and his wife, Edna, occupied the home. Upon returning from Europe as a veteran of World War II, Maloy worked as a projectionist for various schools and theaters. Maloy was an active union member and volunteered as a film educator. STAFF COMMENTS The house is listed as a potentially contributing resource in the pending Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register Historic District. 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate to low integrity. 3) Properties must meet two historic designation criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated this house for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that the house does not meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: a) Architecture. The building does not appear to convey architectural significance. b) Historical association. The building does not appear to have historical associations. c) Archaeology. The house was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d) Community value. The house does not possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that contributes to the character, image, or cultural identity of the city, the neighborhood, or a particular demographic group. e) Landscape feature.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION MARCH 22, 2021 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS PR-20-183612 1601 BRACKENRIDGE STREET D.2 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1915 house. ARCHITECTURE One-and-a-half story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled frame Craftsman bungalow with a central, partial-width, front-gabled dormer; single, paired, and triple fenestration in 1:1, 6:1, and 9:1 patterns; exterior brick chimney. It appears that the original front porch of the house was infilled, and that the windows currently on the front of the house were the original windows before the porch was infilled. Staff has reviewed the structural report for the house. While there are significant structural issues, staff argues that the house can be salvaged. RESEARCH The house appears to have been built around 1915 by William M. and Lettie Webster Davis, both teachers at the Texas School for the Deaf. Lettie Webster Davis was originally from Grayson County, Texas, and moved to Austin around 1903. She first boarded with noted deaf teacher William H. Davis, at his home on Newning Avenue (a city historic landmark). She married William M. Davis, a teacher in the manual department of the deaf institute, in 1911, and four years later either built or moved in to this house on Brackenridge Street, where they lived until William passed away in 1947 after a close-to-40-year career in deaf education. After his death, Lettie Davis moved to a house on Oakland Avenue in West Austin, across the street from her family’s home, where her sisters still resided. Both William and Lettie Davis taught at the Deaf School during a time of great upheaval in the methods of teaching deaf students and successfully adapted their teaching methods accordingly. As educators moved away from sign language in favor of “oralism” - reliance on lip reading, many deaf teachers were replaced with hearing teachers. Students who did not succeed with the oralist approach to deaf education were sent to the “manual” department, where they were taught to spell with their fingers. Both William Davis and Lettie Webster Davis came from families that devoted their careers and lives to deaf education. Lettie Davis’ sister, Jessie Webster, was one of the longest-tenured instructors at the institution. After William M. Davis’ death, and Lettie Davis’ move back to her old neighborhood in West Austin, this house had a series of owner-occupants through the mid-1950s. Betsy Pinkerton opened Betsy’s Nursery School and Kindergarten in this house around 1955; it operated here until …
Historic Landmark Commission Case #PR-20-183612 Permit for Demolition of house at 1601 Brackenridge Street Dear members of the Austin Historic Landmark Commission, Join us! The cultural and architectural identity of our South Austin neighborhood is under assault. AGAIN! Please join in our neighborly effort to preserve the historical home at 1601 Brackenridge Street. This 105- year-old house is of invaluable historic significance, listed as contributing to the pending Travis Heights- Fairview Park National Historic Register. Too many times we have gone for walks in our neighborhood only to find that another charming, unique old house has been leveled by a developer and replaced with god knows what? If we wanted to be surrounded by shiny glass and steel structures, we’d live downtown in a high-rise condo. But we choose to live in our neighborhood because of its eclectic charm, peaceful ambiance, and timeless community feel. Also, as a community, we cannot overlook the roles played by William Davis and Lettie Webster Davis at the Texas School for the Deaf and the influence the school has had in our community – especially in South Austin. The history of this house and its original residents tells part of the story of that influence. So many of the staff members and the individuals served by the Texas School for the Deaf lived in the Travis Heights-Fairview Park neighborhood. Travis County became a leader in providing services to the deaf because of William Davis and Lettie Webster Davis. Unfortunately, the deaf community is all too often treated as invisible. Preserving this house is an opportunity to acknowledge meaningful respect to the deaf community’s contribution to the rich cultural quilt that is South Austin. This Craftsman bungalow at 1601 Brackenridge is an example of the architecture that is part of the eclectic nature that is our neighborhood. Craftsman architecture is an integral style in the Travis Heights- Fairview Park neighborhood and – as in all things eclectic – these homes are one of those threads that define this area of South Austin. We are hopeful that the Historic Landmark Commission’s reputation for not confusing “new and shiny” for advancement will prevail, and this salient part of our culture -- as well as our architectural history – will be preserved. In particular, we request that the Commissioners specifically protect this important property and reject the request to destroy another piece of South Austin. Thank you for …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION JANUARY 25, 2021 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS PR-20-174961 2803 BONNIE ROAD D.3 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1938 house. ARCHITECTURE One-and-a-half story wing-and-gable plan, brick veneered Tudor Revival styled house with a steeply pitched gablet over the round-arched front entry, exterior stone chimney, and single and paired 6:1 fenestration. RESEARCH The house was built in 1938 for Frank D. and Ollie Lloyd, who lived here until around 1940. Frank D. Lloyd was a Louisiana-born storekeeper for the City. Prior to building this house, the Lloyds had lived at 609 Patterson Avenue; it was to that address that they moved after living here. A widow, Ada G. Benedict, bought the house in the mid-1940s and converted the attic to a room and a bath in 1942. Thomas P. Callier, a salesman, and his wife, Margaret are listed as the owners and occupants of the house in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Around 1953, the house was purchased by Ben F. Reichert and his wife, Iva, who lived here until the mid- 1970s; both were natives of Cameron, Texas. Benjamin Franklin Reichert was a sales rep for KVET radio station in the 1950s; he then became a salesman for a business machine company, and later became a right-of-way agent for the Texas Highway Department. Iva Reichert was a typist for the State Department of Public Welfare. STAFF COMMENTS The house is beyond the bounds of any City survey to date. Staff has evaluated this house for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that the house does not squarely meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code. Its Tudor Revival architecture typifies this period of development in Tarrytown, and the house would certainly be contributing to a potential historic district, but does not meet a second criterion for designation as required by Code. a. Architecture. The house is an excellent example of 1930s Tudor Revival residential architecture with its brick veneer siding, steeply pitched gablet over the front door, and window configuration. The scale and architecture of this house typifies late 1930s development in West Austin; the house meets the criterion for architectural distinction in its own right, and as a good example of an architectural style popular in the neighborhood. b. Historical association. The house was first owned and occupied by a storekeeper for the City; they moved here from a …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION JANUARY 25, 2021 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS PR-20-186435 1904 MOUNTAIN VIEW ROAD D.4 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1949 house. ARCHITECTURE One-story, irregular-plan brick house with a flat roof and metal-framed fenestration in a horizontal 2:2 configuration. The house reflects tenets of the International Style, made popular by the designs of architect Philip Johnson in the 1930s, and featuring a boxy composition, use of rectilinear forms, and a lack of surface ornamentation or decoration, in contrast with the Art Deco and Streamline Moderne styles popular at around the same time. The International Style was generally considered a style for commercial buildings, but there are also examples of the style applied to residential construction. The house was designed by prominent Austin architect Howard R. Barr as part of the Acme Ceramic Housing Project. Of the remaining test houses, this house appears to be the most intact. RESEARCH The house at 1904 Mountain View Road was one of six houses constructed as part of the Acme Ceramic Housing Project, a research endeavor conducted by the Bureau of Engineering Research at the University of Texas and sponsored by the Acme Brick Company. It compared houses of all clay tile construction with a control house of more conventional frame construction. The experiment sought to determine benefits of structural tile foundations in expansive soils and use the thermal storage capacity of masonry in conjunction with innovative heating and cooling systems. This test house was designed by Howard R. Barr as an associate architect at Giesecke, Kuehne & Brooks. Barr joined the firm following service in the Navy in World War II. He later became a partner this prominent Austin firm, known successively as Kuehne, Brooks & Barr; Brooks and Barr; and Brooks, Barr, Graeber and White before merging with 3D/International. Barr retired from 3D/I in 1978 and opened a private practice. Among his firms’ best-known works are buildings at Huston-Tillotson University and the University of Texas at Austin, including the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library with Skidmore, Owings and Merrill; the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City; and the original complex of the Johnson Space Center in Houston. Additionally, this house on Mountainview Road was the last house in Austin owned by Edmond C. and Ruth V. Rather, who lived here from around 1951 at least until Edmond died in 1974. Edmond Rather was born in Kaufman, Texas in either 1897 or …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION MARCH 22, 2021 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS PR-2020-192534 503 E. ANNIE STREET D.5 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1931 house. ARCHITECTURE One-story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled frame house with a central, front-gabled entry bay; paired 1:1 fenestration on the main elevation; single and paired 1:1 fenestration elsewhere; standing seam metal roof. RESEARCH The house appears to have been built in 1931, based upon city directory records and a sewer service permit issued for this address. The first owner and occupant was Elmer D. Wiginton, who may have moved in here as early as 1931 with a wife named Patricia (who only shows up in the 1932-33 city directory), or with his wife Lillian who appears in all later city directories; they married in April of 1932. Elmer D. Wiginton was an accountant for the City Auditing Department; he and Lillian lived here until 1940, when the moved to a house on Bonnieview in Fairview Park. The next owners and occupants, who lived here from around 1948 until at least 1974, were Tom B. and Rena Woodland. Tom B. Woodland was a retired farmer from Concho County, Texas; while living in Austin, he worked as a watchman. Rena Woodland was a saleslady in various hardware stores, including Woodland Hardware on South Congress Avenue, operated by Webb and David C. Woodland, Jr., possible relatives. STAFF COMMENTS The house is listed as contributing to the pending Travis Heights National Register Historic District. Staff has evaluated this house for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that the house, while clearly contributing to the pending historic district, does not meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: a. Architecture. The house is a ca. 1931 Craftsman cottage, typical of many in the neighborhood, and characterizing a large number of middle class residences in Travis Heights. This house does not reflect the architectural distinction necessary for qualification as a historic landmark under this criterion. b. Historical association. The house was first owned by an accountant for the city, and then by a retired farmer and his wife, who worked as a saleslady in a hardware store. There do not appear to be significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The house was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The house does not possess a unique …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION MARCH 22, 2021 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS PR-2020-192260 3404 GOVALLE AVE. D.6 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish frame portions behind a 1955 masonry church. ARCHITECTURE The former Loyalty Missionary Baptist Church building is a front-gabled concrete masonry unit church with a projecting entry bay flanked by large buttresses on the front elevation and regularly spaced vertical windows between shallow buttresses on the side elevations. A rear frame portion abuts the north (back) wall of the masonry church. A taller gabled volume with paired wood doors on the east and three rows of windows on the west is intersected by a lower wing to the north. Both portions are clad in asbestos shingles and have Craftsman details including knee braces and exposed rafter tails. RESEARCH Govalle Baptist Church was a white congregation active from ca. 1939 to 1976. The church erected a two- story frame building at 3402 Govalle Road in 1939, consisting of an auditorium and seven rooms. Newspaper articles report PTA meetings held in the building’s basement. It is unclear whether this is the frame structure proposed for demolition; the applicant reports that the frame portions were moved to the site after the masonry church was built in 1955. The Govalle Baptist Church congregation merged with Beacon Ridge Baptist Church in 1976. In the same year, the newly formed Loyalty Missionary Baptist Church, an African American congregation, acquired this building. STAFF COMMENTS 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two historic designation criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated this church for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that it does not appear to meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: a) Architecture. While the church has a unique design, it does not necessarily qualify for historic landmark designation under this criterion. b) Historical association. While associated with two former churches, no significant historic events were identified. c) Archaeology. The church was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d) Community value. The church is not known to possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that contributes to the character, image, or cultural identity of the city, the neighborhood, or a particular demographic group. e) Landscape feature.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION MARCH 22, 2021 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS GF-2021-015104 6800 WOODROW AVENUE D.9 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a 1956 church. ARCHITECTURE The First Cumberland Presbyterian Church comprises multiple interconnected gable-roofed buildings. The church sanctuary projects toward Woodrow Avenue, with a single lancet window in the end wall. The main entrance, set into a substantial Gothic arch surround, is under a dramatic, modern steeple set back and to the side of the sanctuary. Other wings have simpler architecture but are unified by their variegated orange brick cladding. RESEARCH First Cumberland Presbyterian Church was one of Austin’s oldest congregations, founded in 1846. The church was located at W. 7th and Lavaca streets from 1892 until 1955, when that building was demolished and a new church constructed at 6800 Woodrow Avenue. The new building included a sanctuary, fellowship hall, kitchen, and 15 classrooms. In 1968, the sanctuary was expanded and additional buildings constructed, including a gymnasium, chapel, and educational facilities. Architect Doyle M. Baldridge designed the 1956 building and six other Austin-area churches, including the Memorial Methodist Church (6100 Berkman Drive, 1958) and Ward Memorial Church (2105 Parker Lane, 1960), both extant. Baldrige practiced architecture in Austin from 1945 until his death in 1962, working as a designer at Giesecke, Kuehne and Brooks before establishing his own practice. From 1953–1957 he advised on all new construction and major repair projects of the University of Texas system. He served as treasurer of the Texas Society of Architects in 1956. STAFF COMMENTS 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two historic designation criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated this church for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that it may not meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: a) Architecture. The church has a distinctive, midcentury modern design by local architect Doyle Baldridge and may qualify for historic landmark designation under this criterion. b) Historical association. Although associated with one of the oldest congregations in Austin, this building was constructed nearly 90 years after the church’s founding, and no significant events are known to have occurred at this site. c) Archaeology. The church was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d) Community value. The church is not …
Brentwood Neighborhood Association Serving Our Neighborhood from 45th St. to Justin Lane and North Lamar to Burnet Road Metcalfe Wolff Stuart & Williams, LLP March 5, 2021 To: Michele Rogerson Lynch Re: 6800 Woodrow Ave. Thank you for attending our March 3rd Steering Committee meeting to apprise us of the redevelopment plans for 6800 Woodrow Ave. As presented at that meeting, the prospective buyer of this property has submitted a Demolition Permit for the church property. Further, they intend to re-develop the existing platted lots (zoned SF-3) as single family residential (as allowed under the Land Development Code). No variances or waivers will be sought, per the Applicant. In addition, good faith efforts will be made to retain and protect the existing trees. This church (along with several others on Woodrow Ave.) has been in place for many decades, but we understand that its current use is no longer viable. And given that the church architecture is not historically significant, we further acknowledge that this transition to a new use is inevitable. Therefore, the Brentwood Steering Committee has voted to not oppose this redevelopment. It is our hope that the new houses will provide greater opportunity for other residents of Austin to make Brentwood their home. Sincerely, Kristine Poland, BNA President
From: To: Subject: Date: Jennifer Awbrey PAZ Preservation Case Number GF 21-015104 - 6800 Woodrow Ave. Hearing Date Feb. 22, 2021 at 6 pm. Monday, February 22, 2021 4:44:13 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Mr Rice, I am writing to express our objection to the demolition of the Historic Landmark located at 6800 Woodrow Ave. My husband, Joseph Munden, and I are property owners within 500 feet of the subject property. We live at 1402 Ruth Ave. As I am sure you know, First Cumberland Presbyterian Church is one of the oldest congregations in Austin. When they moved the congregation from downtown to Woodrow in the 1950’s, they built a beautiful and architecturally interesting church as their new home, about the same time our home was built. It is sad that the church closed, however the building continues to add beauty and historical value to our area. Today, in particular, the steeple and spire stand out as a picturesque landmark in our neighborhood, with a stunning green patina on the spire. I am lucky to be able to gaze out my back windows and enjoy a view of the steeple and spire, which is often topped by one of our area's birds of prey perched on the cross surveilling its surroundings. It would be a shame to lose such a beautiful sight and popular bird perch to the pressures of development. Surely, at least the steeple and spire portion of the building can be preserved. What’s the point of a Historic Landmark designation if all it takes is money to destroy it? I won't go into more pressure on our infrastructure, more traffic on our narrow neighborhood streets, etc. I am certain you are well aware of those issues. I hope you find in favor of preserving this beautiful neighborhood landmark. Best regards, Jennifer Awbrey CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

X * see below comm Robert Kinney 2406 Harris Blvd, Austin, TX 78703 3/21/2021 1. Site plan for new build does not accurately show position of garage in back, which is 2.7 feet from the property line per the survey attached to demo plan. 2. Currently, the garage is 2.3 feet into the PUE, and 7.3 feet into the setback.3. The 1997 permit (application) to convert carport to a garage is likely the origin of the garage. That permit was never issued and is listed as VOID in the records. 4. Generally, we are strongly in favor of the house plan. Drainage across our property toward Harris can be managed. But the site plan should show the actual position of the garage, and doesn't.

I am president of its board of directors. We oppose the request of Paradisa Homes to demolish 1104 Toyath Street (Case # HR 21‐029755) because the house contributes to the Clarksville NRHD. Also, the house that Paradisa intends to build in its place is architecturally inappropriate for Clarksville. This case is Three members of the CCDC board of directors met with Luis Zaragoza with Paradisa Homes this past Tuesday to discuss a possible way to retain the house as a contributing structure. Our conversation was positive and as a next step, one of those board members ‐‐ an architect ‐‐ will meet with several Pardisa staffers next Wednesday at the company's office. I also put Luis in touch with Elizabeth Brummett so he could find out how much of 1104 Toyath can be removed without affecting its historically contributing status. Therefore, the CCDC would like you to delay any decision on Paradisa Homes' request to demolish 1104 Toyath until after the meeting next takes place next Wednesday and we have a clearer sense of what Paradisa wants to do.

ITEM D.1.0 – 5613 Patton Ranch Road Historic Landmark Commission March 22, 2021 I. Revised Proposal from St. Andrew’s School. After numerous discussions with City historic preservation staff, community historic preservationists, and neighborhood groups, St. Andrew’s has revised its original proposal regarding the log structures at this site. Originally, St. Andrew’s had proposed (with staff support and assistance) to deconstruct the log structures and deliver them to Pioneer Farms for reconstruction and public interpretation. After discussions with Oak Hill community members and preservationists, and after thoughtful consideration by St. Andrew’s, the school has revised its proposal as follow: A. Requested HLC Action. Grant a permit that will allow: (i) partial demolition of the more recent additions to both the main structure and structures that are comprised of log construction, and (ii) the relocation of the log structure portion of the main building, the log pole barn (or smokehouse) behind the main building and the log corn crib to one of the following potential site locations, at St. Andrew’s election, both of which are near the current site and are on the original Patton Ranch: 1. School Site Option. A site on the currently undeveloped portions of the St. Andrew’s school site within a secured perimeter which will be located somewhere chosen by St. Andrew’s on Lot 2, Block A Harper’s Park Section 1; Lot 3, Block A St. Andrew’s Subdivision; or Lot 4, Block A St. Andrew’s Subdivision. 2. School Rd./ Patton Ranch Rd. Site. If St. Andrew’s determines that Option 1 above is not feasible because of the application of City of Austin regulations (e.g. CEF or creek buffers), a second option would be a site on the currently undeveloped portions of the southern portion of tract on which the structures are currently located, within a secured perimeter, and which will be located somewhere chosen by St. Andrew’s near the intersection of School Road and Patton Ranch Road. NOTE: St. Andrew’s would not be required to relocate the log structures and could choose to demolish the non-log structural portions of the main building and other non-log structures on the site and keep the remaining log structures in place. B. Additional Commitments of St. Andrew’s. If the St. Andrew’s exercises the right to relocate the log structures under the permit, it is fully committed to the following additional measures: 1. Secure and maintain the structures in an enclosed are to …

1601 Brackenridge: Historic Review Application Proposed Scope of Work Structure 1. Foundation: Due to the age and condition of the existing foundations, replacement of the existing pier and beam foundation is required to meet existing structural requirements and codes. The new foundations will match the current footprint of the original house on all sides of the structure. The finished floor height of the 1st floor will be roughly 18” lower than the current height to allow for the proper height within the interior space and allow for us to keep the roofline at the exact same height while allowing for a habitable 2nd floor. 2. Walls: Much of the wall framing will be replaced to allow for the property replacement of the foundations and to allow for the creation of the 2nd floor habitable space within the existing roofline. The original wood will be reused wherever possible. 3. Roof: The roofline will remain at the exact same height and massing. The roof will be reframed with new joists to replace the degraded joists that are currently in use. Description of Work on the Exterior Facade 1. Front Porch: The front porch will be restored to its original condition, with openings on three sides. The windows and front door that are currently at the front of the porch will be moved back to their original location. We will build new concrete steps up to the front porch. 2. Rear Addition: We will remove the 12.5’ long addition which was added at the rear of the home and is not original. 3. Framing, Siding & Trim: The existing framing, siding, trim will be removed and examined for possible reuse. Any elements that are damaged will either be repaired or replaced with similar profile components. The walls will be reframed after the new foundation is installed to meet current structural and energy guidelines. The window trim will be repainted in a similar white color but the siding will likely be repainted using a different color than the current light blue. 4. Windows, Door and Trim: Existing windows and front door will be repaired and reused. All windows appear in good working order. If any windows are found to be non-repairable upon closer inspection, they will be replaced with matching windows. Original window trim will be reused unless damaged beyond repair. Any replacement materials will match the profile and size of the existing trim. …
PROPOSAL Restore the existing home at 1601 Brackenridge Street and add a new construction ADU at the rear of the property (17’ to the rear of the original home). PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Restore front porch. The original porch was closed in and the original front windows were moved to the front of the current porch. Will return the front porch to its original design with openings on three sides. The original brick posts on either end of the front porch are in good condition and do not appear to require restoration. 2) Demolish non-original rear addition, including the rear chimney which seems to have been added when this rear addition was added. This rear addition is 12.5’ long along the entire width of the rear of the building. 3) Build new pier and beam foundation for the entire home. The existing foundation has severe movement and is not able to properly support a home. The outside dimensions of the foundation will remain exactly as they currently are built (with the exception of the removal of the rear addition discussed in Item 1). 4) Restore windows and front door and repair original siding or replace in-kind where deteriorated beyond repair. The windows along the sides facing the street (Brackenridge Street and E. Monroe Street) will remain in the exact same location as they are currently located. Due to the severe movement of the foundation all of the windows will need to be removed and restored. Some new windows will be installed along the two other sides of the house so that they can be property sized to allow for egress as required by code from bedrooms. 5) Replace shingle roof with standing-seam metal roof. The roof height and pitch will remain the same. 6) Add a dormer at the rear roof section to roughly match the existing (believed to be original) dormer at the front roof section. This dormer will have a window in it as well. 7) Add a 2nd story space within the existing pitch of the roof. GUIDING GOALS FOR THE PROJECT The following goals apply to the proposed project: 1) Do not alter or remove historic features unless they are deteriorated beyond repair. 2) If replacing deteriorated historic features, match the original as close as possible. Historic windows and siding will be repaired, with in-kind replacement reserved for only those elements that are deteriorated beyond repair. 3) …

March 18, 2021 Matt Sloan Owner, Wild Susan LLC RE: Case Number GF 21-015014 Comments for Consideration These comments are in relation to the demolition permit applied for on 6800 Woodrow Avenue 78757 (“First Cumberland” or “FCPC” hereafter) by Michael Tevis and/or a business interest of his (including but not limited to Intrinsic Ventures, Intrinsic Companies, and Woodrow Studios). I am the owner of a local candle business called Wild Susan and have a prior business relationship with the owner. This is a description of mine and my business’ experience with the aforementioned owner. On November 11, 2020, I responded to a posted ad for art studios for lease because my business was at the point of outgrowing my home studio and I needed a separate work space. I spoke with Mr. Tevis the same day, describing my business and what my use of a studio looks like. He responded favorably and I scheduled a walkthrough with Patrick Hill, the NAI Partners real estate broker, the following day. I described my business again to Mr. Hill, and we agreed that the space would be a good fit for my business needs. I signed the commercial lease on November 16, 2020 and began moving my production within the next few days. Within a couple weeks, I realized I needed more space for storage as 50lb boxes of wax take up a good bit of room, so I contacted Mr. Hill to lease another space in the building which was signed on December 14, 2020. On December 10, 2020, a substantial water leak occurred in a closet adjacent to my space, which damaged the protective floorboards I placed to avoid damaging the carped and forced me to dispose of them as well as some other business assets. I reported the leak and made no issue over the business property. The first (and only) time I met Mr. Tevis was on December 15, 2020 at a building-wide meeting. Prior to the meeting, Mr. Tevis commented to me that “I’m used to artists just piddling around in their studios, and you’re running a business.” Obviously, I was a bit taken aback for two reasons – one, I described in full detail in our initial discussions what I would be using the studio for, and yes, I run a business to support my family; two, if his view of artists is that they “piddle” around, …
