Duewall Home Beautification McDonald-Doughtie House 1616 Northwood Road Austin, Texas 78703 List of Outdoor Home Improvements Seeking Commission Approval ● Estate Wall in place of wood fence ● Iron Fence in front yard ● Curb Appeal and Hardscape Landing at the curb ● Sidewalk Improvement Our Landscaping / Hardscaping Plan Current Photo of the House Current Wood Fence (showing this is a high priority maintenance issue) Current Hardscaping and Sidewalk (showing this is a high priority maintenance issue) ● Current Sidewalk and Dry Stack Rock “Retaining Wall” at the street (after Google Fiber went through the dry stack retaining wall). As you can see, it needs to be rehabbed for the beautification on the property. Historical Commission Item #1 - Estate Wall Replace poor quality wood fence (that is deteriorating in some places) with an estate wall, similar to other estate walls in our historic neighborhood (as shown below). Materials would include stucco over cinder block, limestone top, and possibly white brick columns as depicted below. We would like it covered in ivy as a “green screen.” Estate Wall Continued ● Clockwise: a) current fence, b) plan showing wall, c) rough sketch, d) example of wall in neighborhood Historical Commission Item #2 - Black Iron Fence ● Requesting a black decorative fence in the perimeter of our front yard as typical of our historic neighborhood to improve safety and security of the property due to a busy intersection. ● Materials to include high quality commercial grade fencing material. Historical Commission Item #3: Hardscaped Passenger Landing at the Street and Improved Sidewalk ● We would like to use the existing dry stack rock we have to reconstruct the small retaining wall as it comes from our next door neighbor’s house. ● Then at the curb, we want to cut into the yard for a landing to allow for a car door to open and a passenger to safely exit a car. ● If we are approved for an estate wall, the edge can be made out of the same stucco material as the wall. ● If an estate wall is not an option, other choices are a thick gauge metal material covered in trailing plants as to not compete with the adjacent stacked rock retaining wall at the street and coordinate with the black iron fence, or white painted brick. ● Photo examples forthcoming. Improved Curb Appeal and Hardscaping Plan ● …

todd@trbarch.com From: Sent: To: Subject: Mary Reed <mrpraustin@gmail.com> Thursday, April 15, 2021 4:19 AM Luis Zaragoza Re: Clarifying something Aubrey told you yesterday Hi Luis: The CCDC board of directors has given me permission to send the members of the HLC and staff an email indicating that although our preference of course is for 1104 Toyath to be rehabilitated so that it can remain a contributing structure in the Clarksville NRHD, we will not oppose Pardisa's demolition application. We will not oppose because Paradisa Homes heard the concerns we expressed about its original plans and as a result, designed a totally new house that is far more appropriate for Clarksville. I will send the email this week. Mary MR•PR Austin, TX 78703 512 657 5289 Be Kind "I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."

All materials would be new. We'll want to use as much of the original flooring as possible as well. The existing home is located inside the 25' front setback, (approx. 15') so we'd need to move the house regardless. I hope this is something you and your team are agreeable to. We would very much like to reach a decision before the HLC meeting this month, which we are on schedule for, so please let me know if you would like to hop on a call this week to discuss. 1 To help protect y our priv acy , Micro so ft Office prev ented auto matic download of this pictu re from the In ternet.
