Architecture: This architect-designed Midcentury Modern house derives significance from both its historical associations and its architecture. The house is associated with prominent local and international architecture firm, Lundgren & Maurer. It is a rare surviving example of their residential design in Austin, exhibiting many of the key character-defining features of their style. Even if considered without the association with Lundgren & Maurer, the house holds architectural significance as an exceptionally intact example of the regional adaptation of Midcentury Modern architecture popularized in 1950s Austin. See pages F-9 and F-10 in the following application for additional architectural descriptions. Historical Associations: The house is representative of significant trends in community planning and development and development in midcentury Austin, and it also is associated with significant individuals—Shirley and Jarrell “Tank” Rubinett—who played important roles in Austin’s business community and Jewish community in the late twentieth century.

It was designed by George Matthews Page of Austin’s Page-Southerland-Page. It is likely that Denius was familiar with Page-Southerland-Page’s work at the University of Texas at the time of construction. Page’s two-story symmetrical Greek Revival design features a hipped roof and brick cladding. Its full-width integral porch and second-floor balcony are supported by Classical columns. Ground-floor windows are 6:6, while second-floor fenestration comprises glazed 4-pane French doors. Wood shutters surround all doors and windows. The pool cabana at the rear of the lot, designed by architect Craig M. Overmiller, features matching columns, full-height multi-light windows with fan lights above, and a metal mansard roof. It was constructed after the period of significance and does not contribute to the property’s historic character. Historical Associations: The house at 3703 Meadowbank Drive was built in 1966 for Franklin W. Denius, decorated World War II veteran and renowned University of Texas sponsor. At 19, Denius fought in the Battle of Mortain in 1944 as an infantry staff sergeant, holding a vital position for the Allies against 40,000 Nazi troops. His foresight and innovation helped to create a turning point in the war after the Normandy landings, forever changing history. After Mortain, …

PROTEST OF PROPOSED REZONING OF 3703 MEADOWBANK DRIVE FROM SF-3-NP I hereby protest any rezoning of the referenced property to any category other than the current SF-3-NP designation. Because of the strong negative racial overtones associated with the building’s current plantation style façade, we wish to modify the appearance of the building to an architectural style that is more widely accepted by all of Austin’s citizens. Sincerely, ___________________________________ Will Hardeman, Owner Date ___________________
From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Attachments: Jim Wittliff Contreras, Kalan Brummett, Elizabeth; Will Hardeman; Allen, Amber; John Stoddard Re: 3703 Meadowbank Dr. Monday, August 30, 2021 1:30:11 PM PROTEST OF PROPOSED REZONING OF[1].pdf Thank you for those replies, Kalan. The property owner has decided to file a protest to the City’s proposed rezoning, which is attached. A significant reason for his opposition is that the prior owner whom Mr. Hardeman purchased the property from, Frank Denius’ son, had requested and was granted a full demolition permit for the property. Mr. Hardeman bought the property with the demolition permit, but he instead wishes to retain a significant portion of the structure, but wants to redesign the façade to remove the plantation appearance, which he and many others associate with slavery. Sincerely, Jim Wittliff
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 C14H-1974-0006; HR-2021-100814 PAGGI HOUSE 200 LEE BARTON DR. B.1 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Replace existing butterfly roof and construct stucco and glass walls between the buildings to fully enclose the courtyard. 1) Replace an existing butterfly roof over the courtyard and create a conditioned, weather-tight space. The new low-slope shed roof will extend southward to fully envelope the milk house, which is only partially covered by the existing roof. Walls with storefront windows will line the boundary between the courtyard and perimeter historic buildings, with minimal connections around door openings. The new walls will be smooth EIFS (exterior insulation finishing system) with an integral gray coloration, and the windows will have bronze aluminum frames. Roofing will be prefinished bronze standing-seam metal. Concrete flooring will infill gaps in the existing slabs at the courtyard. 2) Remove a non-historic building adjacent to the milk house. Renovate and construct a small addition to the existing restroom building at the west end of the courtyard. The building will be reclad with integral color EIFS. ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS The historic Paggi House includes four separate historic structures: the painted brick house and kitchen, the limestone milk house, and the plaster and limestone cistern, which remain in good condition from prior restorations. Additional freestanding accessory structures were built around the historic courtyard in 2010, including an expansive butterfly roof that partially covers the historic structures. The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects at historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Commercial additions 1. Location Per Standard 1.1, the proposed enclosure is tucked within the historic courtyard, where it will be relatively inconspicuous. Standard 1.3 advises minimizing loss of historic fabric by connecting to an existing building through the most noninvasive location and methods. The new courtyard enclosure will connect to the historic buildings at limited locations around door openings, under the eaves of the historic roofs. 2. Scale, massing, and height The proposed project modifies an existing roof over the courtyard. As reconfigured, it remains subordinate in scale to the historic buildings and is minimally visible from its surroundings in keeping with Standards 2.1–2.3. 3. Design and style The addition will be executed in a modern style with restrained details that …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 C14H-2017-0082; HR-2021-084469 MCDONALD-DOUGHTIE HOUSE 1616 NORTHWOOD RD. B.2 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Replace existing wood fence with stucco estate wall around back yard, construct new black iron fence around front yard, replace sidewalk, and create a landing at the curb. 1) Construct a perimeter wall at the backyard in place of an existing wood fence. The 6-to-8’-tall wall will have a stucco finish and brick piers, painted white, with a limestone cap. 2) Construct a black iron picket fence around the front yard. The fence will be no more than 4’ in height. 3) Create a landing where the sidewalk meets the curb. The landing will be stone or concrete to match the sidewalk. At the perimeter will be a low retaining wall of white-painted stucco and brick with a limestone cap. An adjacent historic stacked stone retaining wall will be repaired. 4) Replace the deteriorated front sidewalk in-kind with concrete, or with a continuous limestone path similar to the existing limestone porch. ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS The house is a two-story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled brick-veneered frame house with a full-width, full-height inset porch on full-height brick columns. The brick cladding is painted white. Fenestration is single 8:8, reflecting the Southern Colonial Revival style of the house. The house has a large addition to the back. No historic landscape features are specifically identified in the landmark file. The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects at historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Sites and streetscapes 2. Walls and fences The existing wood privacy fence is not historic, and the historic dry stacked retaining wall at the curb will be repaired, per Standards 2.1 and 2.2. Standard 2.4 indicates that new street-side fences and site walls should be compatible but differentiated from the historic style and period of the building. The materials of the proposed estate wall are differentiated, with a unified color palette and simple design that are compatible with the historic house. The proposed metal picket fence is also compatible with the character of the house. This standard further indicates that new fences and walls should be in keeping with fence styles and heights within a historic district, when applicable. Similar walls and fences have been …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 CASE NUMBER HYDE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 4208 AVENUE F B.3 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a side addition. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS 1. General Standards 1) Partially demolish the west corner of the house. 2) Construct an addition. The proposed addition is one story in height, with a hipped roof and shingles to match existing. It will be clad in horizontal wood siding with 1:1 wood windows to match the existing house. One-story Craftsman bungalow with partial-width front porch, horizontal wood siding, cross-gabled hipped roof, exposed rafter tails, decorative fascia board and triangular knee braces at gable end, and 1:1 paired and single wood windows with screens. The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1.2: Retention of Historic Style. Respect the historic style of existing structures and retain their historic features, including character-defining elements and building scale. The proposed addition does not affect most of the building’s character-defining elements or proportions. 1.3: Avoidance of False Historicism. Respect each contributing structure as an example of the architecture of its time. When developing plans for additions, porches, and other exterior alterations, look to other houses of similar vintage to see how these changes were made historically, and then use that information as a guide to developing an appropriate size, scale, and massing for your proposed exterior change. The proposed addition appears compatible and differentiated by its lack of ornamentation (e.g., exposed rafter tails) and position on the lot, though differentiation may be improved by subtly changing trim, siding profile, or window size/style at the addition. 4. Residential Standards: Additions to Contributing Single Family and Multi-Family Structures 4.1: Preservation of Historic Character. Construct additions so as to require the removal or modification of a minimum of historic fabric. Do not construct additions which will require the removal of any portion of the front façade. Design additions to existing residential buildings to reflect the form and style of the existing house. The proposed addition requires removal of historic material at the western corner of the house. It does not require removal of any front façade material and appears to reflect the form and style of the existing house. 4.2: Location. Locate new additions and alterations to the rear or rear side of the building so that they …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 C14H-1982-0013; HR-2021-133048 TAYLOR HOUSE 608 BAYLOR ST. B.4 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a new two-story accessory structure behind the Taylor House. Construct a two-story pool house adjacent to the existing non-historic pool behind the house. The proposed building has a contemporary design with an asymmetrical, broken pitch standing-seam roof, board-formed concrete and vertical cedar walls, steel window and door system, and second-floor screened porch. ARCHITECTURE Raised masonry two-and-a-half story, late Queen Anne style house with a pyramidal roof with lateral gables and two-story wraparound porch with Ionic columns. The landmark file describes this house with the neighboring Perry House as a commanding presence on a bare hillside in early photographs. The house sits at a significant rise from Baylor St., with a long flight of steps and terraced landscaping in the front yard. The site includes a contemporary garage apartment constructed in 2004 that adjoins the alley, an existing utility workshop constructed in 2014 beyond the rear of the landmarked parcel, and other non-historic site improvements that are not visible from the street. No historic site features are mentioned in the landmark file, though permit records show demolition of a board-and-batten storage shed was approved in 2014. DESIGN STANDARDS The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects at historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location Standard 1.3 indicates that new accessory buildings should follow historic location and setback patterns for similar properties. The guidance further recommends minimizing the appearance of new accessory buildings from the primary street. The site has considerable topography and vegetation. With the proposed accessory building to the rear of the house, it will not be visible from the street. Further, no historic site features are extant. The proposed project meets these standards. 5. Design and style Standard 5.3 indicates that no particular architectural style is required to achieve differentiation but compatibility with historic buildings. Additional standards in this and other sections elaborate on what makes a design differentiated but compatible. The striking design of the proposed building does not strictly meet the applicable standards for compatibility. However, other contemporary new buildings and site features have been constructed within the rear portion of the deep lot, where …

The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed building is set back 25’ from the street, roughly aligned with other contributing buildings in the district. 2. Orientation The proposed building is oriented toward the primary street. 3. Scale, massing, and height While the proposed new building is two stories in height, most contributing buildings in the district are one story. Its complex massing is at odds with the relatively simple contributing buildings nearby. Step-downs at the main elevation serve to offset the building’s height. 4. Proportions While most of the building’s proportions are acceptable, the rightmost bay with its steeply pitched gable and projecting dormers is incongruous with the district’s character. 5. Design and style The proposed building is differentiated by its multiple cladding types, its compound massing, and its fenestration patterns and materials. The combination of …

The company had purchased a remodeled upscale home in the Clarksville National Register District – a home that contributes to the Clarksville NRHD -- and wanted to demo it and build something bigger and more expensive. We knew the odds of convincing the company to not demo the home were dismal so we focused on suggesting changes to the plans Jesse Nalle shared with us in an effort to end up with a new home that would be more in keeping with Clarksville and less ”suburban.” Among other things, we asked that he either substitute a carport for the front-facing garages or relocate them at the back or side of the house; get rid of the exterior brick; and enlarge the front porch so that it could function as an out-door living space.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-2021-124116/134075 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 2109 KENWOOD AVE C.10 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a rear addition and deck, replace existing shingle roof with metal roof, demolish existing garage, replace front door, and construct a carport. 1) Partially demolish siding and windows at secondary elevations. Patch siding where window openings are removed. Two original windows will be salvaged from the east elevation and reinstalled on the south elevation. 2) Construct a rear addition and deck. The proposed addition is clad in stained cedar shingle siding and horizontal fiber cement siding. It is one story in height and is set back from the front of the house. Its roofline follows the existing gabled roof and includes two side-elevation skylights. Proposed new 1:1 windows are aluminum-clad wood, regularly spaced throughout, and fixed clerestory windows at rear above full-height sliders. 3) Replace existing shingle roof with standing-seam metal roof. 4) Demolish the existing garage and construct a new carport within the former garage’s footprint. The proposed carport is painted steel with stained wood roof. 5) Replace front door. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS Repairs and Alterations One-story house with partial-width gabled porch supported by boxed columns atop tapered river rock piers. The house’s cross-gabled roof is clad in shingles. It has horizontal wood siding at the façade’s gable end, with a combination of asbestos shingle siding and horizontal wood siding on the remainder of the house. It retains original single and paired 1:1 wood windows with historic-age screens. The house at 2109 Kenwood Avenue was constructed in 1945. Its first long-term occupants were James L. and Margaret Tarr, who moved in around 1948 from San Marcos. James L. Tarr was an executive district director with the Boy Scouts of America; later in his career, he became executive director for the nationwide organization. By 1953, the Tarrs had sold the home to the Straley family. James L. Straley was the credit manager for Bridges Furniture and an office administrator at the University of Texas, while Nancy Straley worked as a public school teacher and encyclopedia saleswoman.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-2021-130292 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1400 MOHLE DRIVE C.11 – 1 Demolish a contributing building and garage. PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story brick Tudor Revival house with cross-gabled roof, arched offset doorway, paired 1:1 windows with decorative screens, and concrete front stoop enclosed by metal railing. The house at 1400 Mohle Drive was built in 1939 for Elizabeth and Benjamin Tobin. The Tobins owned a barber and beauty shop, where they both worked; Benjamin Tobin ran the barbershop and Elizabeth Tobin operated the beauty salon. The shop was located first at 1138 San Jacinto, then at 113 East 21st Street. The Tobins occupied the home until at least 1973. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Old West Austin National Register Historic District. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high to moderate integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building displays Tudor Revival stylistic influences. b. Historical association. The property does not appear to have significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The property 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.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 HR-2021-136955 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1908 W. 33RD STREET C.12 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish a ca. 1949 duplex and garage and replace with new construction. 1) Demolish existing contributing house. 2) Construct new residence. The proposed building is two stories with a covered partial-width porch at the main elevation. It is clad in masonry and horizontal fiber cement siding with a metal roof and compound gabled and shed roofline. Fenestration includes divided multilight windows with varying configurations and fully glazed double entry doors with sidelights. A front-facing two-car garage is included at the easternmost bay of the main façade. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS One-story masonry and board-and-batten duplex with multi-light metal casement windows, a hipped roof, and partial-width covered porches at each entry. The duplex at 1908 W. 33rd Street was built by Billy McElroy in 1949. Early occupants included Eugene and Doris Dickens, co-owners of Dickens Brothers Cleaners; Air Force serviceman Albert Fell and his wife, Phyllis; and University of Texas students and faculty. The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed new building shares approximately the same location on the lot as the existing building. 2. Orientation The proposed new building is oriented toward the street. 3. Scale, massing, and height and 4. Proportions Most of the surrounding contributing buildings on the block are one-story Transitional Ranch homes, whose low horizontal forms and modest size are at odds with the proposed building’s scale, massing, height, and overall proportions. The proposed new building is strongly vertical, with compound massing and a complex roofline. 5. Design and style The proposed new building is differentiated from contributing properties by its use of modern cladding materials, modern fenestration patterns and materials, its two-story height, and its gabled standing-seam metal roof. It is somewhat compatible with surrounding buildings. 6. Roofs The proposed building’s compound metal roof is not compatible with the surrounding buildings’ shingle-clad hipped roofs with deep eaves or simple side-gabled roofs. 7. Exterior walls The proposed building’s exterior wall materials are mostly compatible, except for the irregular placement of horizontal fiber-cement siding accents. 8. Windows and doors …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 HR-2021-115725 CLARKSVILLE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1104 TOYATH STREET C.3 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a new residence with carport, pool, and roof deck. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) The proposed new building is 3 stories in height. It is clad in vertical fiber cement siding and capped with a metal roof. Fenestration includes single-hung and fixed windows and a horizontally glazed front door. A roof deck with horizontal metal railing sits atop the house, accessible by a spiral staircase at the side elevation; the staircase is partially enclosed by a transparent wood screen. Its full-width front porch is supported by boxed columns and the front and rear gables that comprise its compound roofline are accented by triangular knee braces. 2) Construct a deck and pool behind the main house. 3) Construct a retaining wall at the rear of the house. DESIGN STANDARDS The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed building is set back approximately 25’. This property is adjacent to the Lawson House, a historic landmark, and proposed new construction may overpower it due to the height difference between the two buildings. 2. Orientation The proposed new building has a consistent orientation with the rest of the buildings on the block. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed new building is three stories plus a roof deck—much taller than the single-story contributing buildings on the block. However, due to the slope of the lot, the first floor is not visible from the street. Its complex massing is also at odds with the relatively simple contributing homes of Clarksville. 4. Proportions The proposed new building’s design is strongly vertical, which does not reflect the more horizontal proportions of the modest contributing houses on the block. 5. Design and style The proposed design is somewhat compatible in its inclusion of a front porch, its front-facing gables, its siding material, and its relatively rhythmic fenestration patterns. The decorative brackets added to the gables are not appropriate for its modern style. The building is less compatible in its scale, massing, and proportions; the rear portion of the house appears somewhat overpowering. 6. Roofs The gabled roofline …
From: Sent: To: Subject: Mary Reed 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 Be Kind "I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear." MLK On Mon, Apr 12, 2021 at 7:33 PM Luis Zaragoza Mary, I'd like to submit to you a proposal to keep the existing form of the front facade. 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. wrote: 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.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A DEMOLITION PERMIT IN A NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-21-113815 WILLOW-SPENCE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 82 SAN MARCOS STREET C.5 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1941 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled, frame cottage with a central entry topped with a front-gabled entry hood; paired 1:1 fenestration, some with decorative 3:1 wood screens. There is a building permit in city records evidencing construction of this house in 1941; the Sanborn map of 1935 shows a different house on this site, and the 1962 Sanborn map shows the current house. This house, however, appears to reflect 1930s construction in its masing and style, leading to some confusion with a water utility permit dating from 1932. The confusion would not affect the determination of historical significance for this house, as it was home to only two families during much of the historic period, one of whom lived in the earlier house on this site. The 1941 building permit reflects construction by Louis Bonugli, who operated a neighborhood grocery store just a block from this site, and who invested in neighborhood real estate. This house was built as a rental unit. The first residents of the house were Willie L. and Allie Smith, who lived here until around 1943, and had lived in the earlier house on this site since the early 1930s. Willie Smith was an auto mechanic. Raymond and Angie Miller moved into the house around 1943 and rented the house until around 1950. Raymond Miller was taxi driver who later opened his own filling station while living in this house. Angie Miller worked at Woolworth’s a downtown discount department store. PROPERTY EVALUATION The house is listed as non-contributing to the Willow Spence National Register Historic District, but staff questions that determination, as the house is an intact example of vernacular residential design that would be contributing to the historic district if evaluated today. The Willow-Spence National Register Historic District was nominated in 1985, when this house would not have qualified under the 50-year threshold; the district nomination does not shed any light on the justification for the determination. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that while the house would …
Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Sunday, August 22, 2021 6:01 PM PAZ Preservation 82 San Marcos St case # PR-21-113815 This message is from Sylvia Marroquin. I received a notice of the hearing on the demolition of the property located at 82 San Marcos on Thursday. I see that the letter was dated for mailing on Aug 12. I do not believe that a local letter should take over a week to be delivered. In any case, the mailing date and the delivery dates are 2 very different things. I do not believe that enough notice has been given to all my neighbors to have the hearing as scheduled . I object to having the hearing until all interested parties are properly notified. Additionally, I would like to add that I went by the house and found the sign lying on the ground behind tall weeds. not visible to the street! The house in question in inside of the Willow Spence National Historic district. The entire district is comprised of 4 blocks total. Thus far we have had no one try to destroy any of our historic homes. The house in question is by far in better condition than my house at 908 willow street was when I purchased it. I restored my home! The house will need some updating as all these 1920‐ 1930's homes do, but it is not a tear down. There are plenty of homes all over the east side that developers can buy and tear down without hardly any problem. This house is in a National Historic District. If the buyers of this property did not like the house and had no intention of restoring, then they should not have bought it. It was their choice! Do not set a precedent that it is okay to tear down the homes in the Willow Spence National Historic District!! We must work to preserve the homes . It is only 4 blocks! Please do not allow historic homes to be torn down and contemporary style homes be built in these 4 little blocks!! 1

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Ulla Florholmen Tuesday, September 21, 2021 2:11 PM Allen, Amber Approval *** External Email ‐ Exercise Caution *** Amber, My boyfriend and I live on Travis Heights Blvd, across from Paige and Andy Hart's home at 1505 Travis Heights Blvd. They are conscientious home owners and helpful neighbors. We've seen their plans to renovate their home and we like the fact that the updates to the siding, roof and windows will retain the cottage feel of the house. They are expanding in the basement so the house will still look and feel like a one‐story house from the street. We appreciate the fact that they are not going to tear the house down to build something modern and new. We support this project and believe it will be a great update to our block!

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Wil Richards Tuesday, September 21, 2021 7:24 PM Allen, Amber 1505 Travis Heights Blvd *** External Email ‐ Exercise Caution *** Amber, I've been living in Travis Heights for the past 3 years in the condo complex where Paige and Andy Hart are owners. They recently purchased a home in Travis Heights, at 1505 Travis Heights Blvd. It's a smaller home that needs to be updated. They've shown me their plans for the renovations and I like the fact that they are keeping the house much the same as it's been for many years. It will have new siding, and the roof will be more pitched, but they're retaining the small "cottage" feel to the property. The largest portion of the additional square footage of usable space will be in the basement, which can't be seen from the street. So, the house will still fit within the scale of the neighborhood. It will still be seen as a single‐story house from the street. I support this project and look forward to seeing Paige and Andy once their renovation is complete.

The addition will have a composition shingle roof, fiber-cement siding, and windows similar to those used on the house. 2) Replacement of front door. Replacement of original wood 1:1 windows and decorative screens with 6:1 windows of an unspecified material. Replacement of paired windows on the south elevation with a double door. 3) Replacement of original wood siding and trim with fiber-cement siding. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story Craftsman bungalow clad in horizontal wood siding. The front-gabled roof has a clipped gable with decorative brackets, and the partial-width porch has a round vent below the clipped gable. The porch roof is supported by tapered box columns atop partial height brick piers. Windows are single or groupings of two to three 1:1 sash with decorative screens. The front door has three vertical lights in the upper portion. The house at 1412 Alameda Dr. was constructed around 1932 and initially occupied by a series of renters. From at least 1947–1966, Homer G. and Lillian K. Monson owned the home. Homer Monson (1920–1996) sold used furniture; newspaper articles indicate he also managed and owned several ranches. He ran an unsuccessful write-in campaign for Travis County Commissioner in 1966. Homer married Lillian Kastner in 1946. Lillian held a lengthy tenure at Austin National Bank, marking 15–20 years of employment in 1960. During that time, she advanced from a clerk to a supervisor. The couple built an addition on the rear of the house in 1952. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards 4. Exterior walls and trim 5. Windows, doors, and screens Standards in each of these sections emphasize retaining intact historic materials and pursuing selective replacement only when absolutely necessary due to deterioration.

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story, hipped-roof Ranch house with enclosed garage, painted brick veneer, multilight metal windows, and metal roof. The house at 2400 Pemberton Place was built for Dr. Ralph Hanna and his family in 1949. Hanna, a pediatrician, was one of the nation’s leading cerebral palsy clinicians; he was widely lauded for his research, leadership, and compassion as a medical practitioner and patient advocate. Dr. Hanna served on the board of the Austin Cerebral Palsy Center as well as president of the United Cerebral Palsy Association of Texas, regional vice-president of the UCPA, chairman of the UCPA’s Medical Professional Advisory Board, and chairman of the Austin Cerebral Palsy Center’s medical advisory board. Dr. Hanna also served on the first board of directors of the Jewish Community Council of Austin, a philanthropic and service organization. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register Historic District. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain low integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building does not appear to convey architectural significance. b. Historical association. The property is associated with Dr. Ralph Hanna, pediatrician and civic leader. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The property 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 Release the demolition permit. Although Dr. Ralph Hanna’s contributions as a physician and educator are significant to Austin’s history, the house no longer retains integrity.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER DISTRICTS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 HR-2021-135437 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER DISTRICT 2308 WOODLAWN BLVD. C.9 – 1 PROPOSAL Reconstruct 1940 contributing house following fire damage. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The house was significantly damaged by a fire on March 12, 2021 that occurred during a renovation project. The fire destroyed much of the central, two-story volume of the house. On May 24, 2021, the Historic Landmark Commission voted unanimously to approve a demolition application to allow the owners to address life safety concerns; see prior staff report. The current project entails rebuilding the house: 1) Reconstruction of the two-story central volume of the house, including masonry repair and/or reconstruction, repair of monumental columns, and reconstruction of the entablature at the porch. Replacement of red paver flooring with limestone tile, and reinstallation of stained rather than painted wood at the porch ceiling. Replacement of balcony guardrail with a different design. 2) Installation of new multi-light French doors in window openings at the central portion of the façade. Replacement of the fire-damaged front door in a different configuration, changing from a door with fanlight and sidelights to paired solid doors with a fanlight and cut stone surround. 3) Reconfiguration and modifications to rear wings, which primarily consist of previous additions to the house. The south wing of the house will be enlarged. The central octagonal volume will be removed and a pool constructed in its place. A covered outdoor dining area will be added along the inside of the north wing. A small breakfast nook will be added on the north side of the house. Brick, roofing, eave and cornice details will match the existing house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH This brick Neoclassical mansion consists of a central, two-story portion flanked by symmetrical one-story wings. The central portion has a full-façade porch with Doric columns supporting an entablature and a full-width balcony with decorative railing. The wings each have a slightly recessed hyphen terminating in a front-gabled volume, with quoins at the corners and cornice returns and cupolas at the roofs. The central front door has an elliptical transom and sidelights, and multi-light windows on the front of the house have operable shutters. The house has a rear addition to the northern wing, including a garage, and an octagonal addition at the center rear. The house was built in 1940 for Frank W. and Olivia M. Woolsey. Frank Woolsey, …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-2021-134031 4512 AVENUE C D.11 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a 1946 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story Minimal Traditional house clad in asbestos shingles. The house is side-gabled, with a partial-width, shed-roofed porch next to a small front-gabled wing. Windows are 8:8 and 6:6 double-hung wood sash. The house at 4512 Avenue C was briefly owned by a grocer, Robert Fannin, and then by a proprietor of two beauty shops, Seaborn Speir. During the historic period, the longest tenure was that of Conrad N. and Ercylee L. Voigt, who were first listed as renters in 1949 and subsequently as owners of the home. Conrad Voigt was an insurance agent. By 1964, the Voigts lived on Northridge Drive. PROPERTY EVALUATION The Historic Building Survey Report for North Central Austin: West Campus, North University, Heritage, Bryker Woods, and North Hyde Park (HHM, Inc., 2021) lists the property as contributing to a potential North Hyde Park Historic District, recommended as eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and as a local historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building retains a high degree of integrity. The survey notes a historic-age addition as the only modification. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (Land Development Code §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The house is a typical example of the Minimal Traditional style with limited modifications. b. Historical association. The house does not appear to have any significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The property 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.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-21-105009 2501 INWOOD PLACE D.2 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1948 house. ARCHITECTURE One-story, irregular plan, flat-roofed house with elements of International Style and mid-century Modern design, plus eclectic modifications including turned wood columns, geometric wood medallions, and vintage wrought iron lighting fixtures. The house was constructed in 1948, with a 1952 addition. It has expansive roof overhangs with wood soffits, a combination of horizontal and vertical wood siding, and stone veneer. Stands of oaks, along with stone planters, walls, and steps extending from the house, lend a strong connection between the house and landscape. Stonework on the chimney and walls is narrow random ashlar, while planters and site walls are uncoursed rubble stonework, suggesting different construction periods. Windows are groupings of steel casements that meet at building corners, with one floor-to-ceiling commercial storefront window. RESEARCH Hugh McMath The house was owned and occupied by Hugh and Frances McMath from the time of its construction until their deaths, and it remained in the McMath family until this year. Hugh McMath (1904–1992) taught at the University of Texas School of Architecture for 44 years. He was a renowned professor with a specialization in Mexican architecture. He was instrumental in introducing his students to the principles of Mexican architecture and worked to introduce Mexican architectural programs into the greater sphere of American architectural studies. During the 1950s, he arranged annual summer trips of U.S. students to the Instituto Tecnologico of Monterrey, Mexico, and later organized architectural tours to promote interest in Mexican heritage and architecture. McMath served as chair of the School of Architecture from 1946–1948, director from 1948–1950, and acting director from 1953–1956. During this time, McMath encouraged John S. Chase to apply to the architecture program, telling him about the pending Sweatt v. Painter case that desegregated the university. Chase went on to many firsts as an African American: the first to enroll at the University of Texas, the first to graduate with an architecture degree, and the first in Texas to become a licensed architect. Beyond academia, McMath served in other leadership roles in architecture. He was co-chair of a committee to draw up a long-range plan for Pioneer Farms when it was formed in 1956. McMath also served as president of the Central Texas branch of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) in 1958. He served on …
Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Attachments: Importance: High Vincent Huebinger Wednesday, August 18, 2021 3:17 PM Sadowsky, Steve; Allen, Amber Dane Wilkins RE: Item D-6 2501 Inwood Demo Hugh McMath 1.JPG Steve, just left you and Amber a VM. It is indeed a very interesting house but we are not finding the Mid‐century modern aspects on 2501 Inwood based on the industry (architectural) standards. Yes there are some pronounced windows but no lines and angles established in this front elevation or roof. Most mid‐century modern houses built in 1950‐60’s had had lines with open spaces and pronounced split level roofs. The exterior wood is an odd combination and is not repairable. We are preparing some backup material for Landmark commissioners to try to emphasize the lack of element for this agenda. I have another hearing on Monday evening in Grand Prairie, therefore Dane Wilkins out of our office will be on the live line of the meeting. I am assuming that the postponement policy by staff will be granted (since it always is) and this is the last item on the agenda. Knowing the process, I believe you will be requesting postponements at the beginning of the hearing? We did find 2502 Inwood went to your landmark commission in 2018 and was allowed to be demo’d and rebuilt as a combination of mid‐century and eclectic. Others on that block were also demo’d. Regarding Hugh McMath, he was a very impressive tenured professor and acting director for a few years. The most we have found on him are his international trips to Monterrey, his thesis at MIT and some other articles. We can agree to postpone in light of your mention of Ned Cole and Plan con, which we did not discover in our research. The only thing we know about Ned Cole is that he may have been a student of Professor McMath. We also need to finish the structural walk Monday morning for the interior. From the exterior, Mike McIntyre has already found very disturbing damage & conditions, to be documented by the next hearing. We can include his preliminary exterior findings sometime tomorrow morning in the backup. According to his daughter, Hugh did not design the house. Let us know the best way we should proceed and your thoughts on if Laura Burkhart would benefit on having some architectural renderings available next month? She may be …
Vincent Gerard & associates, inc. McMath House Property Evaluation 1) Age: Building permits put the construction of the house and the addition in the year 1948 and 1952 respectively, making this a 74-year-old home. 2) The buildings structural integrity has degraded quickly since McMath’s death in 1992. There are Trees that lean on the structure, patio support beams that have rotted and water damage on the garage I beam as seen in photos. (See structural engineer John McIntyre report exhibit B) 3) In our opinion this property meets one of the four proposed criteria for it to be determined for landmark designation. a. The architecture is a mix of three or more architectures and does not conform to the styles of International or Mid-century Modern as shown below. b. McMath and his wife Frances Marian, were a beloved member of the local University community hosting student study abroad trips to Monterey where the majority of Hugh’s study and design took place. Hugh makes note that the majority of his work was on documenting the influence of American Architecture on Mexico, not the other way around. Hugh was the interim director of the school of architecture during its transition from the school of engineering but was not the author of the movement merely the acting director and then the official director for 1 and for 5 years respectively.

An example of a peer would be the following; c. There are no known prehistoric features on this .4-acre site located at the city’s core. d. The building 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. This building is barely visible to those off site. e. The landscape is very natural and has a great deal of erosion due to poor drainage of the property.

The stairwell to the roof deck extends outward at the east elevation. 4) Add third-story rooftop deck with corrugated metal handrail to match proposed siding. The existing building is a single-story gabled church building with cross-gabled rear addition. The main portion of the church is clad in brick and horizontal siding, with exposed rafter tails at eaves and triangular knee braces at gable end, a gabled portico supported by Classical columns, and aluminum windows. A pyramidal steeple sits atop the roof’s ridgeline. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH The church was moved from Elroy, Texas to this site in 1959 for the congregation of New Home A. M. E. In 1966, the original frame structure was relocated on the lot; permit records suggest that this original portion now faces Mansell Street. It was used as an education building when the new masonry sanctuary was built facing Delores Street between 1968 and 1970. The triangular brackets at the sanctuary’s gable may have been removed from the original structure and reused at the building’s new entrance. DESIGN STANDARDS The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects at potential historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Institutional buildings 1. General standards 1.1 Ensure that the building’s historic character is preserved through careful repair and maintenance of historic materials. The proposed project removes and replaces original fenestration, cladding, decorative details, and porch. The proposed corrugated metal cladding and fenestration changes at the main façade are not compatible with historic institutional or residential buildings. The proposed two-story addition, stairwell, and roof deck are significantly set back, but may not appear subordinate from the main …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-2021-113751 3411 CLEARVIEW DRIVE D.4 – 1 Demolish a ca. 1951 house and rear accessory building. PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story Modern house with two-story rear addition and one-story rear studio. The primary building is clad in stucco and features a flat roof, integrated stone planters, an attached carport, and aluminum ribbon windows. The ca. 1958 studio is similarly styled. The house was built in 1951 for Alexander Strachan and Jerry Duncan. A. S. Duncan was a World War II veteran who worked as a real estate agent and sales manager with Harrison-Wilson-Pearson and Nelson Puett before opening his own agency in the mid-1960s, where he partnered with Puett. He served as chairman of the Austin Board of Realtors and was widely praised for his abilities as a salesman. Jerry Duncan was an active participant in the University Women and Helping Hand organizations. PROPERTY EVALUATION Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. A second-story rear addition was constructed in 2002 which may limit the building’s designation potential. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not appear to meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building displays Modern stylistic influences. b. Historical association. There do not appear to be significant historical associations, though the Commission may wish to consider A. S. Duncan’s contributions to Austin real estate at midcentury. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The property 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 reuse, but release the demolition permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-2021-117734 2103 E. 8TH STREET D.5 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE Demolish a house that may have been moved ca. 1939. This one-story Modified L-plan house appears on Sanborn maps between 1935 and 1961, with a sewer connection permit from 1939. Although the City has no record of a relocation permit, the house has Folk Victorian elements suggesting an earlier date of construction and may have been moved onto the lot. These elements include 2:2 wood windows, sawn brackets at the eaves, and a chamfered wood pilaster at the porch. The house has horizontal wood siding, covered with asbestos shingles under the porch. RESEARCH The house at 2103 E. 8th Street was occupied from 1944–1955 by the family of James L. and Grace Finnin, working-class African Americans. James Finnin (ca. 1889–1982) worked as a farm laborer before moving into Austin and subsequently was a laborer at the City of Austin Water & Light Department. Grace Underwood Finnin (1897–1993) raised the couple’s many children and was involved with the Mary Church Terrell District Association of Federated Women’s Clubs, serving as reporter for the organization in 1961. Some of their children continued to live in the house on E. 8th upon reaching adulthood; city directory listings include multiple of their names: Ella, Everett, Horace (Billie), Harvey, and Inez, who held working-class jobs including laborer, porter, cook, and maid. PROPERTY EVALUATION The East Austin Historic Resources Survey (Hardy Heck Moore, Inc., 2016) does not indicate the property is eligible for historic designation. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building retains a moderate degree of integrity. Some porch columns and parts of the porch roof have been replaced, and asbestos shingles cover part of the siding. The house appears to be in poor condition. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (Land Development Code §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building appears to be a Folk Victorian house that may have been moved to the site. b. Historical association. The house was associated with the Finnin family. Readily accessible archival material on African Americans in Austin is limited, and sufficient grounds are lacking to make a case for significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-2021-130003 909 W. ANNIE STREET D.9 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Partially demolish a 1939 house, construct a two-story addition, and replace windows and siding. 1) Construct a rear and second-story addition. The addition extends the height of the ridge of the side-gabled roofline and adds a shed-roofed dormer and balcony over the front porch. Roofing will be standing-seam metal. 2) Replace 1:1 wood windows with new windows. Windows are to be installed in existing openings on the front of the house, but windows on the sides will be reconfigured. Replace the existing front door with a new door and sidelights. Replace wood siding with new lap siding. Window, door, and siding materials are not specified. One-story, side-gabled bungalow clad in wood siding. The house has a central gabled porch with box columns and partial height square piers at the front steps. The porch is flanked on both sides by paired 1:1 windows with decorative screens. Side elevations have paired windows at the first floor and single 1:1 windows at the attic level. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH The house at 909 W. Annie St. was owned throughout the historic period by Cecil E. and Dorothy B. Kelso. Cecil Kelso (1907–1988) worked as a projectionist in Austin movie theaters for at least 45 years, beginning in 1927. He served on a Motion Picture Board, an advisory body to City Council, during the 1950s. In an interview in the Austin Statesman in 1972, Kelso remarked, “The modern films aren’t for me. My favorites are Walt Disney and family types” and classic films. Dorothy Kelso (1916–2010) was a teacher at Allison and Webb elementaries. Their son Gordon Kelso (1941–2018) was a corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps. While a student at the University of Texas and working for a local television station, he filmed broadcast footage of the UT tower shooting. DESIGN STANDARDS The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects at potential historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 3. Roofs The standards indicate that metal roofing is generally acceptable within historic districts but should only be installed on landmarks if there is historic precedent. The house currently has composition shingle roofing and likely had wood shingles originally. 4. Exterior …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT PERMITS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-21-092304 2521 JARRATT AVENUE OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT C.2 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a new residence and accessory building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish existing contributing house. 2) Construct a new residence and detached garage. The proposed primary building is two stories, with a compound hipped roof clad in metal tiles and double arched entryway. It is clad in stucco with limestone accents at the covered main entry. Fenestration includes fixed and casement divided-light windows, an arched front door with transom, and a fully glazed arched secondary front door. A second-floor balcony with a decorative steel railing sits atop the entryway. 3) Construct a two-story accessory building, with first-floor garage and living space above. The proposed accessory building is located behind the primary residence and connects to it with a covered breezeway. DESIGN STANDARDS The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed building appears to be set back from the street at approximately the same location as the existing house. 2. Orientation The proposed new building has a consistent orientation with the rest of the buildings on the block. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed new building appears to be similar in height and scale to other contributing buildings on the block. Its more complex massing is less compatible with nearby contributing buildings. 4. Proportions The proposed new building’s proportions appear mostly compatible. 5. Design and style The proposed design is differentiated from historic-age buildings by its massing, roofline, fenestration patterns and materials, and cladding materials. The proposed design, with its eclectic French and Mediterranean influences, is not compatible with the Colonial Revival and Ranch style buildings in this part of the district. 6. Roofs The compound hipped roofline with faux-slate tiles is appropriate to the building style, though similar rooflines do not exist on nearby contributing buildings. 7. Exterior walls Most nearby contributing buildings are brick or horizontal wood siding, though stucco examples do exist elsewhere in the district. The limestone accents, however, are less compatible. 8. Windows and doors The proposed fenestration at the main elevation is somewhat compatible, though the arched entryways, double front doors, and …

Ruiz Setting the record straight ; Heimsath, Ben - BC; Papavasiliou, Alexander - *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** It is my understanding that Paradisa Homes claims the Clarksville Community Development Corporation (CCDC) gave its "seal of approval" to the company's plans for 1104 Toyath Street (Item C.3 on the HLC's August 27th agenda). That is not completely accurate. As background: On March 16th of this year, Aubrey Carter, Gregory Tran and I ‐‐ all CCDC board members ‐‐ met via Zoom with Luis Zaragoza, a representative of Paradisa Homes, after we learned that the company had applied to demolish the historically contributing home located at that address. Although we wanted Paradisa to rehabilitate the home, we knew that was unlikely to happen because the company is in the home building business. Also, we recognized that given Austin's current historic preservation ordinance, it was highly unlikely that 1104 Toyath would be zoned historic against the wishes of the owner. Therefore our goal during the meeting was to make the new home Paradisa planned to build as unobjectionable as possible. In other words, we wanted to do damage control. At the meeting, Mr. Zaragoza shared a drawing of the front of the home Paradisa planned to build. It appeared to be 2‐ stories with a large front porch and a double garage facing the street. The home's front facade was made of board and batten siding, like many Clarksville homes. (We were happy about that and about the size of the porch.) I don't remember everything we talked about given that the meeting took place 6 months ago, but I do know that we asked Luis to move the garage to the back of the house, which Paradisa did. Once we saw a drawing of the house that reflected this change, we told Luis that we would not fight the demo. Then last month, we learned that in fact, the home Paradisa wants to build will be 3‐stories with a roof deck!!! A very different house than …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-2021-134048 1901 HAMILTON AVENUE D.10 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1939 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story side gabled bungalow with modest Tudor Revival influences, including steeply pitched roof over porch stoop. Siding has been replaced with aluminum and a stone veneer wainscot. Windows have also been replaced. The house at 1901 Hamilton Avenue was occupied from 1941–1947 by the family of Elbert and Lillian Watkins. They lived in the house with their 4 children before George and Jewel Slaughter moved into the house sometime around 1948. The Watkins family also built a house and owned a grocery store across the alley at 1125 Chicon St. prior to the construction of 1901 Hamilton Ave. George Slaughter worked as a driver, construction worker, and laborer. Lillian Watkins owned and operated Happy Hour Beauty Shop from 1949 to 1952 at the property. She later went on to work as cosmetologist at the Austin State Hospital. PROPERTY EVALUATION The East Austin Historic Resources Survey (Hardy Heck Moore, Inc., 2016) does not indicate the property is eligible for historic designation. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building retains a moderate degree of integrity. Siding and windows have been replaced. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (Land Development Code §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building is an example of a frame bungalow with modest Tudor Revival influences, but modifications compromise the house’s ability to convey any architectural significance. b. Historical association. The house does not appear to have significant historical associations; however, the Commission may wish to consider the impact of home businesses—particularly beauty and barber shops owned and operated by women of color—on East Austin’s historic culture and development patterns. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The property 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.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-2021-128017 1902 TILLOTSON AVENUE D.7 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1932 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH PROPERTY EVALUATION One-story front-gabled Craftsman bungalow clad in wood siding with 1:1 wood windows. The gable end has knee braces and a small window. The house originally had a full-width, integral porch that has been partially infilled; while the siding in this area matches the rest of the house, a wide, horizontal window punctuates the front wall. The other end of the porch is supported by a square post, and the porch steps, ramp, and handrail are not original. The house located at 1902 Tillitson Avenue was first occupied by William B. and Leila Moore from 1932–1949. Leila Moore worked as a maid at the Driskill Hotel from 1935 until 1944. She opened the Leila Moore Beauty Shop, where she and William both worked from 1944–1949. The house was vacant in 1952 and was later occupied by various renters. The East Austin Historic Resources Survey (Hardy Heck Moore, Inc., 2016) recommends this house as contributing to the potential College Heights Historic District, which is recommended for local or National Register designation. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building retains a moderate degree of integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (Land Development Code §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building is a typical example of a Craftsman bungalow but has modifications to the porch. b. Historical association. The house does not have significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value.

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH PROPERTY EVALUATION Single-story, side-gabled Minimal Traditional house with a central gabled porch stoop flanked by paired 1:1 windows with awnings. The house is clad in horizontal wood siding and has a metal roof. The house at 908 Columbus Street was occupied from 1937–1939 by the family of Morris D. and Birdie Scheid. Morris Scheid worked at the State Comptroller Department. The next owners of the house were John A. and Bernice Reed, who lived in the house briefly in 1941. The longest owners of the house were Luther M. and Ruby Leath, who owned the house from 1947–1959. Luther worked as a life insurance agent, and Ruby worked as a saleswoman.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A DEMOLITION PERMIT IN A NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-21-113815 WILLOW-SPENCE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 82 SAN MARCOS STREET C.5 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish two ca. 1941 houses. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Two one-story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled, frame cottages on the same lot. The houses have a central entry topped with a front-gabled entry hood; paired 1:1 fenestration, some with decorative 3:1 wood screens. There is a building permit in city records evidencing construction of these houses in 1941; the Sanborn map of 1935 shows different houses on this site, and the 1962 Sanborn map shows the current houses. The 1941 building permits reflect construction by Louis Bonugli, who operated a neighborhood grocery store just a block from this site, and who invested in neighborhood real estate. Bonugli and his family lived at 80 San Marcos intermittently in the late 1940s and early 1950s, but in other years, the family is listed at their grocery store 78 San Marcos, likely to earn additional income from renting the house at 80 San Marcos. The house at 82 San Marcos was built as a rental unit. The house at 82 San Marcos was home to only two families during much of the historic period, one of whom lived in an earlier house on this site. The first residents of the house were Willie L. and Allie Smith, who lived here until around 1943, and had lived in the earlier house on this site since the early 1930s. Willie Smith was an auto mechanic. Raymond and Angie Miller moved into the house around 1943 and rented the house until around 1950. Raymond Miller was taxi driver who later opened his own filling station while living in this house. Angie Miller worked at Woolworth’s a downtown discount department store. PROPERTY EVALUATION The houses are listed as non-contributing to the Willow Spence National Register Historic District, but staff questions that determination, as they are intact examples of vernacular residential design that would be contributing to the historic district if evaluated today. The Willow-Spence National Register Historic District was nominated in 1985, when the houses would not have qualified under the 50-year threshold; the district nomination does not shed any light on the justification for the determination. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The buildings are more than 50 years old. 2) The buildings appear to retain high integrity. 3) Properties must meet …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-2021-121884 1204 E. 6TH STREET D.6 – 1 PROPOSAL Relocate a ca. 1900 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story wing-and-gable Folk Victorian house with traditional cornice returns and eave detailing at gable end, a partial- width inset front porch with shed roof supported by chamfered columns with molding, a split transom window above the front door, and 4:4 paired and single wood windows throughout. Archival photos show that the porch’s jigsawn trim has been removed. The date of the house is uncertain. While the house appears to be ca. 1900, occupants are listed as early as 1885 at an earlier address for the property. Sanborn Fire Insurance maps first show this area in 1894, and the house has the same footprint. Travis Central Appraisal District records list the date as 1907. Wastewater service was first supplied in 1917. Frank Torrens, a German carpenter and woodcarver, lived at 1206 E. Pecan/E. 6th St. between 1885 and 1888. It briefly served as a boardinghouse. Frank Zakrison lived in the house from 1903–1935, and Lillie and Anna Zakrison also lived in the house during that time. Frank Zakrison was a listed as a baker and owning a bakery at 1200 E. 6th Street in the 1912 directory. Lillie Zakrison owned the house in 1935. The lot next door to 1204 E. 6th St., which later became a tortilleria in the mid-twentieth century, was occupied by another Swedish family, the Malmbergs, during the time of the Zakrisons' residence at the turn of the century. This contextual evidence speaks to a close-knit community of recent Swedish immigrants to Austin in the area, as well as the later shift from European immigrants to Mexican American families in the general area. The house was occupied by renters from 1937–1944, notably the Sandoval family rented the house from 1941–1944. Flavio C. Sandoval was a prominent Mexican American grocer who had at least two retail locations at 1103 E. 6th and 1200 Rosewood Ave. Fermin G. and Cristina Sanchez occupied the house from 1947–1959 first listed as renters and later as owners. Fermin Sanchez worked as a construction worker and laborer. PROPERTY EVALUATION The East Austin Historic Resources Survey (Hardy Heck Moore, Inc., 2016) recommends this house as a potential local landmark as well as contributing to the potential East Sixth Street Historic District, which is recommended as eligible for local …

Clarksville. C.1. PR-2021-055578, 1805 Waterston Avenue My name is Mary Reed and I am speaking on behalf of the Clarksville Community Development Corporation (CCDC) as its board president. We are the neighborhood organization for historic We oppose release of a demo permit for 1805 Waterston Avenue for several reasons in addition to the fact that the home contributes to the Clarksville National Register Historic District. • First, the home at this address is not in a state of disrepair – it’s a fully remodeled home that Nalle Custom Homes purchased for over a million dollars! • Second, it makes no sense from an environmental standpoint to send a perfectly good house to the landfill. • Third, the new house Nalle wants to build will make Clarksville even less affordable than it is now and may very well force some current residents who are already struggling with the cost of housing in the neighborhood to move. • And finally, Nalle’s proposed new home is totally inappropriate for Clarksville. For starters, it’s too busy, too big, too tall, it’s architecture is incompatible with the simple traditional architecture of the neighborhood, it features brick accents and a brick chimney – brick is not a building material used in Clarksville -- and it has double front-facing garages. The house design may be appropriate for Tarrytown, Westlake, or suburbia, but not for Clarksville. Since June 3, when representatives of the CCDC first met with Jesse Nalle of Nalle Custom Homes, we have tried to get the company to revise its plans to make them more Clarksville. We provided him with specific suggestions and also recommended that he drive around Clarksville to get a sense of the neighborhood. Initially, Mr. Nalle appeared very open to our thoughts and ideas and said that he would send us new plans based on our comments. Over the ensuing months in email exchanges with him, he repeatedly promised that new plans would be coming, but we have seen nothing. In fact, the drawings in the backup materials for this case are exactly what we saw when we met with Mr. Nalle nearly four months ago. The CCDC asks that therefore that you deny the requested demo permit and ask Nalle Custom Homes to meet with members of the Architectural Review Committee for specific guidance on designing a home that is in keeping with historic Clarksville. Thank you.

C.3. HR-2021-115725, 1104 Toyath My name is Mary Reed and I am speaking on behalf of the Clarksville Community Development Corporation (CCDC) as its board president. We object to the plans for the new home Paradisa Homes wants to build at 1104 Toyath because it’s incompatible with other homes on the street and with the mass and scale of traditional Clarksville architecture. Aside from the board and batten siding, Paradisa seems to have assumed that the kind of home it builds in other neighborhoods, mostly non-historic neighborhoods from what we can tell by visiting the company’s website, would be appropriate for Clarksville. Paradisa Homes also appears to have overlooked the impact of their home’s height on its neighbors and especially on the Lawson House, the landmarked home next door. It will loom over that house. Furthermore, the roof deck ensures that the next door neighbors on Toyath as well as several neighbors in the 1800 block of West 11th whose backyards abut the back yard of 1104, will lose their privacy. We would like Paradisa go back to the drawing board and design a home more fitting for Clarksville and for the 1100 block of Toyath in particular. Thank you.

We have lived in Travis Heights since 1998 and love the character, trees, and community of our neighborhood. There are many historic structures throughout the neighborhood, and we certainly support preserving the character and scale while also supporting updates and improvements that enhance the overall quality of the neighborhood in an appropriate way. We are around the corner from our neighbors Paige and Andy Hart who have shared the renovation plans by Merzbau Design Collective. We find the changes to be appropriate and attractive. With updates to siding, roof, and windows that preserves the cottage structure and maintains the street scale, we support their proposal that will enhance the overall quality of the Boulevard.

I am fine with the demolition but want assurance that the demolition will follow the guidelines of demolition with asbestos siding. I worry about the long term safety of the surrounding area and neighborhood and how demolition of a house with asbestos siding may cause asbestos dust. From my understanding, a hose on the demolition during the demolition would not be enough. I believe the siding needs to be removed prior to demolition. Thank you, Kathy Dowdy On Fri, Sep 24, 2021 at 12:16 PM Katherine Dowdy My concern is the siding of this house is abestos. I want assurance that appropriate and legal measures and steps will be taken in the demolition of this house to assure the safety of the surrounding area and neighborhood from abestos and abestos dust.

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Nathan Wilkes Sunday, September 26, 2021 3:56 PM Allen, Amber GF 21-135466 Object to Demolition in Historic District *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** In looking at the house I feel that the quality is such that it should be preserved and any renovations be required to preserve its character. The house appears to be traditional wood framed with horizontal wood siding with protruding front porch indicative of traditional houses in the neighborhood and better quality than board and batton construction that is sometimes seen. With the ADU ordinance (I'm generally supportive of density and AUDs) there is now tremendous economic pressure to remove these type of old structures for new double units that sell $1.5‐2 million. This economic pressure puts extreme pricing pressure on this neighborhood and undermines assets like these in this historic district.

Furthermore, any renovations to such units should be required to preserve its character. With the ridiculous cost of housing in this neighborhood, there is tremendous pressure to remove these type of old structures for big new units that sell $1.5‐2 million. As a result, or neighborhood has largely lost many remnants of its historic character (not to mention that many of the residents for whom the Historic Black District designation was given can no longer afford to live here.. But I digress). Tearing down well made historic homes in the area only adds to the economic pressure on the neighborhood and also sends housing materials that are far superior to those being used today to the landfill. If you can't save the house on site, please at least mandate that it be relocated.. But ideally, keep it in tact on site.

August 25th, 2021 Historic Landmark Commission P. O. Box 1088 Austin, TX 78767 Re: 1204 E. 6th Street – Austin, TX 78702 I, Irene Sanchez, am one of the former heirs of the house and property located at 1204 E. 6th Street in Austin, Texas. This home was in my family for 75 years. Over the decades, we witnessed East 6th Street evolve drastically to become the vibrant commercial district that it is today. While our home played a large role in our lives, we recognized that the location was no longer ideal for single-family use as it is now heavily populated with entertainment venues and many other commercial uses. Therefore, we decided to sell the property in 2021. The new owners of this property have stated that they would like to relocate the house, which is over 100 years old, to a more fitting residential location where restoration will be more fitting and viable. I am providing my support for the application for this relocation. Sincerely, Irene Sanchez Irene Sanchez
