The proposed addition features a compound cross-gabled roof, 4:1 and 2:1 single-hung windows, and a covered back porch. 6) Remodel garage, replacing existing asbestos shingle siding with fiber cement, replacing the roof with new composition shingles, and adding a door to south elevation. ARCHITECTURE One-story house with Minimal Traditional stylistic influences, clad in asbestos shingle siding. Its cross-gabled roof shelters a partial-width inset porch with decorative metal supports and handrails. Fenestration includes 2:2 screened aluminum windows and a multi-light aluminum picture window, as well as an original partially glazed and louvered screen door.

The proposed project revisions retain the historic features of the home. 1.3: Avoidance of False Historicism. Respect each contributing structure as an example of the architecture of its time. Do not make alterations that have no historic basis, such as the addition of gingerbread trim to a 1920s bungalow. Do not give an existing contributing structure a “historic” appearance it never had. The proposed project revisions respect the contributing structure as a product of its time, repairing existing elements in-kind rather than replacing them with anachronistic ones. 1.4: Appropriate Treatment Options for Contributing or Potentially Contributing Structures. 1. Preserve the historic fabric: Repair deteriorated historic features and architectural elements. 2. Reconstruct missing or un-repairable architectural features with the following: a) Recycled historic materials that approximate the size and match the scale, profile, and appearance of the deteriorated or missing feature, if available. b) New material that that approximates the size and matches the scale, profile, and appearance of the historic material.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MARCH 28, 2022 HR 2022-026355 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER DISTRICT 1317 WESTOVER ROAD C.12 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a 2 ½-story house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS A demolition permit for the contributing building at this property and plans for new construction were released by the Historic Landmark Commission on August 24, 2020. Due to design changes, the new construction plans are returning for the commission’s consideration. The prior project entailed construction of a two-story plus basement house and detached garage/guest house building. The current project consists of construction of a 2 ½-story house with complex massing. As viewed from the front, the main volume of the house is two stories with a side-gabled roof and shed-roofed dormer. In front of that volume is a front-gabled garage with a side-facing garage door, adjoined by a flat-roofed covered porch with a broad, segmental arched opening partially infilled by glazing. Above the porch is a second-story terrace with plantings. The house has brick walls, composition shingle roofing, and multi-light windows. 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 house has a 35’ setback, which appears to be roughly comparable to neighboring properties. 2. Orientation 11. Attached garages and carports The house faces the street, with an attached garage on the front façade. Houses within this block generally have driveways to one side of the property that extend past the house to a rear detached garage or carport. The proposed ribbon driveway to the side of the property matches the pattern on this street. Although the front garage is not in keeping with neighboring properties, the impact of this element is minimized by a side-facing rather than front-facing overhead door. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed 2 ½-story house is out of scale with immediately neighboring properties, which are single-story, though there are two-story houses elsewhere on the block. The multi-story portion of the house is set back beyond a one-story gabled and flat-roofed volume, which serves to minimize its impact. 4. Proportions The house has balanced proportions that complement neighboring properties. The shape and proportions of the segmental arched opening at the front entrance …

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Wendy Price Todd Sunday, March 20, 2022 4:19 PM Allen, Amber; Brummett, Elizabeth; Phillips, Atha Demolition Oppositions, 3/28/22 Meeting Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Flagged *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Liaison, Chair and Vice Chair of the Landmark Preservation Commission, I have received notifications for several of the eight applications that you are considering within the Travis Heights‐ Fairview Park National Historic District. The applicants for these demolition requests should be aware of the significance of the neighborhood and property or their cases would not be coming before the Historic Landmark Commission. The proposed projects in most cases, do not respect the scale and massing or materials and details of the district. As a member of the South River City Citizens Neighborhood Association, the organization that supported the Travis Heights‐Fairview Park National Historic District, neither the SRCC nor the Historic Preservation Committee that successfully applied for the designation has been contacted by any of the applicants to discuss their proposed projects. Yet, they proceed through the demolition and redevelopment process with no concern for neighborhood context, heritage trees, natural drainage patterns and other factors. While the purview of the Historic Preservation Department and the Historic Landmark Commission is limited, as city workers and civic volunteers, I urge you to ask the applicants to contact immediate neighbors as well as to make a presentation to the neighborhood association. Until that time, I object to the demolition of the following agenda items and cases in the Travis Heights‐Fairview Historic District being heard by the Historic Landmarks Commission at the 3/28/2022 meeting: C.1. 804 Rutherford Place – Travis Heights – Fairview Park National Register District – Demolish a contributing building and build new construction (postponed February 28, 2022) C.2. 512 E.

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: David Todd Sunday, March 20, 2022 8:43 AM PAZ Preservation Proposed demolitions Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Flagged *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** I am writing to oppose the demolitions proposed for 1505 Alameda, 406 East Annie, and 512 East Monroe. Each building has its individual merits deserving protection, but I would like to stress their value as a group to the overall fabric of our National Heritage District. Thread by thread, with each demolition, the District is unraveling. Please consider this fact: from 2010 through 2021, 1312 houses have been taken down in our zip code (78704), over 21% of all those in the City during that time. I believe that these permits must be considered in light of this overall patter and trend, and blocked.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MARCH 28, 2022 HR-2022-006510 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1505 ALAMEDA DR. C.3 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish a ca. 1947/1985 contributing house. Construct a new single-family residence with a pool. 1) Total demolition of a ca. 1947/1985 contributing house. 2) Construction of a Contemporary-style single-family house with an attached rear carport. The proposed house is two full stories plus a penthouse and rooftop deck. The house has a flat roof with overhanging eaves; various siding materials including vertical wood, stucco, and metal panels; large, fixed windows with casement and hopper sashes; and a screened front porch. The carport opens onto the alley. 3) Installation of an in-ground pool in the front yard, behind a privacy wall. ARCHITECTURE Two-story, irregularly shaped stucco house that shows influences of the International style. A one-story portion of the house is capped by a steeply pitched shed roof. To the right, the second story projects to the front and side of the house, with the overhangs supported by pipe columns. This second-story volume has a flat roof with wide eaves. The front porch consists of a stoop with a flat-roofed overhang. Windows on both floors are steel casements. The second story of the house was added in 1985 based on multiple sources. Building permit records indicate an application to construct an “addition to residence to create a two-story residence” in 1982 that expired. A subsequent permit with the same project description is marked as passing final building inspection on July 24, 1985. Accompanying drawings for the permitted work are not available. Other evidence indicates the house was previously a single-story, one-bedroom house. The 1962 Sanborn map shows a small one-story residence on this lot. The house was a rental throughout most of the historic period, and classified ads that ran between 1953 and 1972 describe the house as a “small cottage” or “small house for a couple.” The ads vary in terms of how the rooms are described. The most complete description is that the house had a living room, dinette, kitchen, bedroom, and bath-shower. Through 1972, it is evident that the house had only one bedroom. In its present configuration, the house has two bedrooms and 1 ½ baths. See associated documents under Property Information below.

It is essential to the historic fabric of this historic community. There are many others who have decided to maintain the historic nature of their homes by adding to their needs. Its a very common practice! Individual rights do not supersede the community at large. We have designated Travis Heights worthy of a National Historic district for a reason. Anyone who is going to make an investment in our community should understand the need to maintain the intrinsic nature of the homes here and the long term value.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MARCH 28, 2022 HR-2022-021264 OLD WEST AUSTIN 1702 HARTFORD ROAD C.4 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a new building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS DESIGN STANDARDS The proposed new building is a modular structure, two stories in height, atop raised piers. It has a compound gabled and flat roof, with a flat-roofed entry porch. Fenestration includes fixed undivided windows with irregular placement throughout and fully glazed sliders and entry doors. It is clad in horizontal wood siding, 4’x4’ fiber cement panels, and corrugated metal. 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 is set back approximately 26’, consistent with surrounding buildings. 2. Orientation The proposed building is oriented toward the street. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed building’s two-story height is generally taller than the surrounding contributing buildings, and its somewhat monolithic massing may impact compatibility with the rest of the district. 4. Proportions The proposed new building’s proportions are not compatible with surrounding contributing buildings. 5. Design and style While the proposed building’s details are consistent with its styling and it is sufficiently differentiated from the historic buildings in the district, its fenestration patterns, cladding, and modular design contrast with its Tudor Revival neighbors. 6. Roofs The proposed gabled roofline appears mostly compatible, though the flat portions of the roof are largely incompatible. 7. Exterior walls While the proposed horizontal siding is appropriate, the fiber cement paneling and vertical corrugated metal are not. 8. Windows and doors The proposed fenestration pattern and window configuration appear mostly incompatible. 9. Porches The proposed porch does not appear to reflect and continue the size, proportions, placement, depth, and rhythm of porches on contributing buildings within the district. Summary The project does not meet most of the applicable standards. PROPERTY EVALUATION The existing non-contributing building on the site was approved for demolition in 2022. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Comment on and release the new construction plans. LOCATION MAP C.4 – 2

Add a roof to the existing side porch. 1) Construct an addition to the front of the house. The gabled addition is clad in horizontal fiber cement siding and features 6:6 aluminum windows with divided lights. Gable ends feature vents and board-and-batten details to match the existing gable. 2) Construct a rear addition to match the existing house and front addition. The proposed addition is one story in height and contains 6:6 sash and multilight casement windows. Its gabled roof will match the pitch of the front addition. 3) Cover the existing side porch with a composition shingle roof. One-story Minimal Traditional house with cross-gabled plan, horizontal wood siding, and partial-width inset covered porch. The original wood windows were replaced in 2009 per permits.

Alfred and Mary Lou Riba lived at 3300 Beverly Road until his death in 1966. 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 additions 1. Location The proposed rear addition is sited appropriately, but the front addition does not meet the design standards. 2. Scale, massing, and height The proposed project appears appropriate in scale, massing, and height. 3. Design and style The proposed design and style is compatible with the existing historic building; however, it may not be adequately differentiated from the existing house. 4. Roofs The proposed project’s roof pitch, height, and materials appear appropriate. 5. Exterior walls Proposed cladding is compatible with the existing house and district, though gable-end detailing may impede appropriate differentiation from historic fabric. 6. Windows, screens, and doors The proposed aluminum divided-light windows are compatible with the house and district. 7. Porches and decks The proposed side-porch addition appears mostly compatible. 8. Chimneys The proposed project removes a historic-age chimney. C.7 – 2 Summary The project meets some applicable standards. PROPERTY …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MARCH 28, 2022 HR-2022-022699 TRAVIS HEIGHTS -FAIRVIEW PARK 406 E. ANNIE STREET C.8 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish a noncontributing building and construct a new building in its place. Construct a new studio. 1) Demolish existing noncontributing building. 2) Construct a new primary building on existing footprint, retaining existing stone retaining walls in front yard. The proposed new residence is clad in stucco, vertical cedar siding, horizontal lap siding, and stone. It is three stories in height, with a roof deck and balconies enclosed by metal guardrails. Fenestration is irregular throughout, with fixed undivided windows and full-height fully glazed sliders. It has a compound roofline with gabled and flat elements clad in standing-seam metal. 3) Construct a detached one-story studio building in front of the primary building. The proposed studio features a shed and hipped roof clad in standing-seam metal. It has stucco siding, lap siding, and vertical cedar siding. Fenestration matches the primary building. 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 primary building is set back significantly, as it occupies the footprint of the existing noncontributing structure. The proposed accessory building is set back 25’, consistent with other buildings in the neighborhood. 2. Orientation Both buildings are oriented toward the primary street. 3. Scale, Massing, and Height and 4. Proportions The proposed primary building’s height, proportions, complex massing, and floor-to-floor heights are not compatible with the district; however, its placement on the lot should minimize its visual impact. The proposed accessory building is not subordinate to the primary building due to its placement on the lot, though it is somewhat more compatible in scale and proportion. 5. Design and Style While both proposed buildings are stylistically consistent and differentiated from the historic buildings in the district, neither are compatible with the character of the district. 6. Roofs The compound shed roof at the secondary structure, most visible from the street, is more compatible than the complex roof form of the primary building, which is not compatible with the district. 7. Exterior Walls While some of the buildings’ siding materials are appropriate for the district, the application of all siding …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MARCH 28, 2022 HR-2022-026102 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 1205 ALTA VISTA AVENUE C.9 – 1 Demolish existing two-story duplex and secondary building and construct a new three-story single-family house. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS 1) Demolish existing house and rear garage apartment. 2) Construct a three-story house. The proposed building is flat-roofed and clad in stucco, board-and-batten, tongue-and- groove siding, and cedar slats. Fenestration includes fixed undivided windows and casement windows with irregular spacing, proportions, and orientation throughout; a front-facing garage; and sliding glass doors. The primary building at 1205 Alta Vista Avenue is a two-story cross-gabled duplex with horizontal siding, 6:6 wood windows, arched six-light accent windows, and composition shingle roof. 1205 Alta Vista Avenue was constructed around 1939 for Mary G. Sanders, along with a garage.1 A rear dwelling unit was constructed later. It appears to have been constructed as a duplex, and mostly housed two families in the main building and one in the rear unit. Renters were largely short-term and included a cattle buyer, a meat inspector, a bookkeepers, students, and oil company employees. 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 is set back approximately 25’, in line with historic-age buildings on the street. 2. Orientation The proposed new building’s orientation is consistent with the predominant orientation of contributing buildings on the same block. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed new building is three stories, while nearby contributing buildings are one and two stories; its floor-to-floor and foundation height does not appear consistent with nearby contributing buildings. Its monolithic massing is not compatible with the district. 4. Proportions The proposed building’s proportions are not compatible with those of contributing buildings on the block. 5. Design and style The proposed building is differentiated from historic buildings and its details are consistent with its style, but its overall design is at odds with the historic district in terms of scale, massing, proportions, patterns, and some materials. 1 "Real Estate Transaction 1 -- no Title."

The building at 301 West 6th Street was constructed around 1919, though the lot appears to have been in use as commercial and dwelling space since at least the 1890s, per Sanborn fire insurance maps and occupancy histories. Onorato Del Curto sold the corner lot at 6th and Lavaca to the San Antonio-based Riegler Ice Cream Company in 1919. It became a manufacturing and sales center, with plate-glass windows to display the state-of-the-art facility and enameled interior1 to pedestrian traffic. By the 1920s, the Austin Ice Cream Company had purchased the building as their Austin headquarters, manufacturing Violet Crown Ice Cream products. In 1926, a group of Temple investors with the Bell Ice Cream Company had purchased the company, though the building kept the Violet Crown name. By 1931, the expanding Bell Company planned to construct a new factory at 10th Street and Guadalupe,2 and the Roy Rather Refrigeration Company purchased 301 W. 6th Street. During the 1930s, after a brief stint at 201 W. 6th Street, Morris and Curtis Mosteller moved their seed business into the former factory.3 During the late 1930s and early 1940s, their advertising focused on the wartime Victory Garden effort, and Morris Mosteller dispensed regular planting advice as part of his role as garden committee chairman of the Chamber of Commerce.4 Throughout the historic period, the secondary building sharing a party wall with 301 W. 6th Street—known through the years as 502, 504, and 506 Lavaca Street—served a variety of business and industrial occupants, most notably the Lindsey Auto Electric Company. Lindsey Auto Electric remained at the Lavaca Street address for at least twenty years. PROPERTY EVALUATION Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate to high integrity. Non-historic awnings have been removed. Brick painting may have occurred in the historic period. Though the windows have been replaced, they do not appear to have altered original openings. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it may meet two criteria: "Bell Ice …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MARCH 28, 2022 2206 EAST SIDE DRIVE D.3 – 1 Relocate a ca. 1915-1920 house outside city limits. PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story Craftsman bungalow with partial-width covered porch supported by tapered columns atop brick piers, 1:1 screened wood windows, exposed rafter tails at eaves, and triangular brackets at gable ends. The house at 2206 East Side Drive, formerly known as 2210 East Side Drive and 2210 Goodall Street, was built by the Wright family in the early twentieth century as part of the family’s dairy farm. City directories do not include records prior to the 1930s, as the farm was located outside the city limits. The Wright family had operated a dairy farm in South Austin since at least 1899.1 Claude W. Wright, Sr., and his wife Ethel Bowling Wright inherited the business from William W. Wright, who migrated to Texas from Mississippi after serving in the Confederate army as a teenager. Claude Wright, known as “Cap,” also served as a city fireman2 after his retirement from the dairy industry in 1946, a post he held for nearly twenty years. After the Wright family sold the dairy farm, the house became a rental property to several families. Renters during the 1940s and 1950s included clerks, butchers, saleswomen, and manufacturing employees. PROPERTY EVALUATION Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity. However, the building’s integrity of setting has been compromised, as it no longer retains the rural surroundings appropriate for an agricultural complex, nor does it retain significant associated outbuildings present in historic photos. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it may meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building is a Craftsman bungalow. b. Historical association. The property appears to have been part of the Wright dairy farm prior to the widespread c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human urbanization of South Austin. 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, …

I've lived there for 40 years. I found the home first listed in the directory at the Austin History Center in the early 1940s as the C.W. Wright Dairy. Both 2206 and 2210 East Side Drive were listed as properties owned by the C.W Wright Dairy. I was told that I am only the third owner of the property. I bought the property from Allen Messenger and his wife who owned it for only a short time while they were building a home outside of the city limits. My neighbor, Mr. Victor Polanco, who lived across the street told me that the home was rented out for years and it became severely deteriorated. From his front yard, he saw rats entering the home through holes in the roof and wood siding. The back yard was 1 covered by an asphalt parking area that extended almost to the back of the lot. It was large enough to accommodate several cars. When I closed on my home in January 1982, this area was not safe. South Congress was a very dangerous place where no one walked at night. Of course, that’s changed. This house sits on what used to be open land on the outer edges of the city prior to the 1940s. Over the past ten years, the character of East Side Drive has changed. Most of the surrounding homes have been …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MARCH 28, 2022 HR 2022-028987 OLD WEST AUSTIN 1717 W. 30TH C.10 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Total demolition of a circa 1941 single-family residence and decks, and new construction. 1) Total demolition of circa 1941 existing single-story house bungalow and decks (rear studio to remain). 2) New construction of a single-family residence: The proposed new construction is for a single-story residence with a front gable, standing seam metal roof. It will have an exterior cladding of brick and stained wood siding. Windows will be a mixture of casement, sliding, and fixed single pane glass windows. The primary façade is composed of two fixed single-pane windows and a centrally placed entry door with sidelight. There is a front deck of approximately 112 square feet and a rear back patio. The modern aesthetic takes cues from the Minimal Traditional style in its lack of ornamentation, proportions, and material choice. 1717 W. 30th is a Minimal Traditional style single-family residence built circa 1941. It is on pier and beam foundation and approximately 1625 square feet of wood frame construction with asbestos shingle siding, a hipped roof, and wood 1:1 single-pane windows. It has a central small covered front porch with simple boxed pilasters supporting a hipped roof extension over a single paneled door entrance. There is a raised wooden deck with steps attached to the back of the residence. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH 1717 W. 30th was built circa 1941 by Ken Sanders. It was then rented by James W. and Ora Robinson in 1944. The property was then purchased by M. C. and Elizabeth S. Robinson around 1947. Still, it was vacant by 1949 until it was purchased by E. Morris and Grace E. Alford, owners of Morris Alford Insurance Agency. Mr Morris served as a staff officer at Lackland Air Force Base and President of the Austin Appraisal Association. Donald O. and Dorothy Reinhackel, who owned Harold G. Reinhackel & Son, insurance company, purchased the home in approximately 1955 and welcomed a son while living at here.

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Replace all existing steel casement windows with fiberglass clad wood windows, no divided lite. Current window locations and sizes remain the same. The owner is open to a divided lite pattern if the Commission feels like that would be a more appropriate replacement. 2) Three exterior doors on North and West facades to be replaced with the new fiberglass casement windows. New windows will fit within existing door openings. This modification will move the entrance from the street-facing façade to the East façade. 3) Replace the existing window with a new full-lite, fiberglass door, and sidelights on the East façade.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 HR-2022-016431; PR 2022-002618 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 1803 KENWOOD AVE C.10. 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish a circa 1937 single-story residence and replace it with a new construction single-family residence. 1) Total demolition of existing contributing single-family residence built-in 1937. 2) Construction of new single-family residence with in-ground pool in rear, garage, and carport. The proposed primary building is a two-story minimalist style. It features a compound roofline, fixed-pane, and casement full-light fenestration in irregular pattern; dark grey brick on the first story and light-colored exterior stucco cladding on the slightly overhanging second story. The rear second-story elevation has a small rear balcony with a horizontal metal railing overlooking the pool. Designs indicate a side entry garage and direct neighboring carport located in front of the residence. A horizontal wood fence is situated directly in front of the carport, which shields the carport and garage from direct view from the street. The roofline was changed to a front-gabled form after meeting with the Architecture Review Committee on March 18, 2022. The windows were changed to a regular fenestration pattern on the front façade, a small covered front porch and additional brick were also added to the primary facade, and the wood fence and garage were removed. The carport was turned to face the street directly. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Wood frame, single-story, residential construction on pier and beam foundation. The structure is of the Minimal Traditional style with a side gable with a front-facing cross gable design. It is typical of Minimal Traditional design with horizontal wood siding, two sets of symmetrical multi-pane, 6:6 wood windows flanked by slim, simple shutters. There is a small, round gable vent in the front-facing gable façade. The single door entry has a concrete landing and is covered with a wooden awning supported by decorative wooden brackets. The awning is a continuation of the asphalt roof. There is a thin, slightly turned metal balustrade and railing on the front concrete steps and landing. 1803 Kenwood Avenue was likely built by the prominent dentist and civic activist Dr. R.L. Struhall in 1937. Dr. Struhall and his wife Lillian Parma had moved to 1805 Kenwood by 1942. According to City Directories, in 1941, 1803, Kenwood was owned by Raymond W., Jr. and his wife, Marjorie M. Ramsey. Raymond was employed at the R & R Service Station, …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MARCH 28, 2022 PR 2022-023217; GF 2022-028967 1202 E. 6TH STREET D.2 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE Demolish a circa 1940 single-family residential structure. 1202 E. 6Th Street is a one-story stucco bungalow with a front gable roof and Craftsman reminiscent style. It has a full-width porch, and four tapered, square columns support the low pitched roof. The roof has an unenclosed overhang. It has a centrally placed door surrounded by two window assemblies each composed of two 1:1 windows. All windows appear to be 1:1 vinyl replacement windows with the lower sash covered by metal protection bars. According to City Directory records, this is likely a rear unit, often referred to as a back house. Back houses are single‐family residences located behind a main house, typically at the rear of the lot. While most back houses open onto the alley and allow for parking along the alleyway, some houses only provide access from the main street, forcing the occupant to pass by the main house in order to reach the back house. Backhouses served multiple purposes, including lodging for servants or as rental property to bring in extra income. There is an additional entrance door on the East elevation with alley access. The addition of a stucco veneer, and a fenced front lawn that some may consider to simulate the feel of the traditional Hispanic courtyard house plan could be interpreted as an example of how the Mexican American aesthetic was applied to the Craftsman Bungalow in East Austin, and provides a historical narrative of the neighborhood. RESEARCH The primary house at 1202 E. 6Th Street was built circa 19041. Its first occupant was Samual W. Scott, a laborer who lived in the home until 1912. Then Edwin C. and Ethel Overstreet rented the home for approximately five years from 1920-to 1925. Edwin and Ethel were listed as plasterers in the City Directory. George H. and Barbara E. Theilen, proprietors of East Austin Bakery, lived in the house in 1927. Their bakery was one of many to operate out of the historic Clements Market/The Sport Bar building next door at 1200 E. 6th Street2. After this time, the house was a popular home for renters in the service industry: such as tailor Romulo and his wife Blasa Santa Ana, watchmaker Jose and Josephine Siliceo; barber Jesus and Marie Castillo, Maria Gomez, a maid, …

March 27, 2022 Historic Landmark Commission City of Austin Permitting and Development Center 6310 Wilhelmina Delco Dr, Room 1405 Austin, TX 78752 Re: Budget recommendation for Phase 2 of Equity-Based Historic Preservation Plan Dear Chair Myers, Vice Chair Heimsath, and members of the Historic Landmark Commission, Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. As our city’s leading nonprofit voice for historic preservation since 1953, we rely on effective collaboration with members of the Historic Landmark Commission (HLC), the City of Austin, and the Historic Preservation Office (HPO) for our success. We are grateful to you for your service and dedication to the City of Austin. Austin faces unprecedented challenges, as the vibrant economy and real estate market are creating dramatic changes in neighborhoods and unique pressures in the housing market, including affordability, displacement, and gentrification. These problems have been exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic, which has disrupted the lives of so many in so many ways. The necessity to continue the work of Equity-Based Historic Preservation Plan has never been greater. We thus support the HLC’s recommendation to City Council to fund Phase 2 of the Equity-Based Historic Preservation Plan, and to fund a permanent HPO staff position to manage Phase 2 and coordinate implementation of the Preservation Plan after its adoption. As the HLC has noted, these resources are essential to engage the community in the preservation planning process, set equitable priorities for historic preservation policy, and better meet the City of Austin’s responsibilities to promote and preserve its character and history. The community engagement focus of Phase 2 is an essential part of the process as the working group continues to seek answers to the questions posed in its foundation. These include whose heritage is represented in designated historic properties; what stories are missing; who benefits from preservation policies, programs, and incentives; and how historic preservation tools can be expanded to address the issues of sustainability, affordability, and displacement. Preservation Austin is deeply committed to this process, with staff (Meghan King, our Programs and Outreach Planner) and two board members (Linda Jackson and Alyson McGee) participating on the working group. As the community engagement phase of the Plan unfolds, they and other members of the working group will continue to offer diverse preservation perspectives in a collaboration that successfully reflects the diversity of Austin. The group is …
Art In Public Places Program: City of Austin’s Artwork Donation and Loan Process H I S TO R I C L A N D M A R K S C O M M I S S I O N M A R C H 2 8 , 2 0 2 2 FRANK WICK – SR. COLLECTION MANAGER Quick Introduction: Artwork Donation* City of Austin Artwork Acquisition Policy (2008) • Artwork Loans and donations are * similar enough in process to use the donation term here. My hope is to clarify rather than take a deep dive into our terminology. • An artwork loan is limited to 5 years with an option to renew once for another 5 years. For our purposes the two are identical. Artwork Donation and Loan Process: Donor completes and submits an Artwork Donation Application with proposed locations and artwork images to the AIPP Collection Manager, me. If the project isn’t deemed artwork the Donor will not proceed with AIPP involvement. The Collection Manager will identify who they should work with. AIPP often receives proposals for signage and place- making. Place making can be: arches, safety and health communications as well as calling-out or identifying a significant location for visitors and community. If deemed artwork AIPP will facilitate the COA Artwork Donation Process – This can be fairly rigorous. I work with stakeholders and COA User Departments such as Public Works, Parks & Recreation. Expectations of the donor to ensure public input and community support. Past Artwork Donations have included Historic Preservation and Historic Landmarks Commission. The Leslie Cochran memorial being the most notable. FYI: Historic Landmarks Commission will receive the proposal through Historic Preservation. You’d review a proposal and your vote will be for “appropriateness’. Your job isn’t to approve an artwork but is a means of providing Arts Commission critical feedback on your review of that artwork. I can’t imagine a scenario where AC would accept something HLC didn’t support. Arts Commission would not vote on a place making object, only artwork. • With a folder of information Artwork Donations will be reviewed and voted on by Arts Commission. At that point the donor can proceed. The User Department will work with them on future plans for installation. AIPP will work with the Donor at completion and for repairs and maintenance for the life of the artwork. • • • • • Reconnecting With HLC …

I understand the Reviewer from the city had a similar finding so we're all in agreement that the plans need to be adapted to ensure there is no impact on the tree. I'm not sure what happened with the FAB team on the initial plans but I can assure you it was not intentional. • Once we have an update plan we'll share those with the city and work with the Arborist to ensure the trees
Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Michelle Riehle Saturday, March 26, 2022 2:21 PM PAZ Preservation Case number: 22-006510 *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** To whom it may concern, I am a resident of Travis Heights and understand there is a hearing regarding 1505 Alameda Dr. Firstly, as a mother of two and soon to be three children I think it is essential that Austin continue to find and support ways to provide adequate housing for families both of children and multi generational families. Taking care of the people in our community is our top priority. I have seen publicly on "Next Door" that one of my neighbors is harassing one of my new neighbors who is trying to build a home suitable to house multiple occupants. The current home 1505 Alameda is not suitable for that. We have several adorable bungalows in Travis Heights but they are small and many, several in throwing distance of my own home, are falling apart. They have boarded windows, collapsed roofs, cracked foundations and are sitting rotting. I am hopeful someone will buy them and provide an opportunity for new suitable housing. Most homes in our neighborhood are being renovated, remodeled, added to or completely rebuilt to allow for safe and adequate housing. We added a significant addition onto our home as our family grew as an example. We should not allow new residents of our neighborhood to be harassed when the improvement of this neighborhood and its homes to provide safe adequate housing is a good thing. We should protect our natural environment but once someone has shown good intent and proof they have plans to do so they should be able to manage their home as they please. We are hurting the homeowners and future families at this point if we don't move forward with this issue and allow the homeowner to responsibly build their home. Everyday day and week this continues we have one less home and impose costs on the family that is trying to move forward and live there.

I’m a resident of the district and worked long and hard to achieve it.

Rental properties’ existence in the neighborhood is an element that has brought many interesting residents into our community. It has been that way until recently. It DOES have community value in that regard. all our contributing structures obviously have value in terms of their relationship to their surrounding neighbors. They “contribute” to our story. Even though I know I can’t stop this demolition, I desperately hoping you can dissuade the owners from building this over‐scaled, monilithic single‐family residence. I would prefer to see multi‐family here, if anything, as it is being demolished every month here, and replaced with double‐lot sized single‐family homes. This leads to the erasure and misrepresentation of our history. Thank you! Melanie Martinez CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

SOCIAL KNOWLEDGEABLE INFLUENTIAL Kimberly Levinson President Curtis Rogers Vice President Angela Hovis Treasurer Frank Seely Greg Anderson Philip Wiley Marshall Geyer Gordon Moore March 26, 2022 To the Historic Landmark Commission, The Downtown Austin Neighborhood Association (DANA) is opposed to granting historic landmark status to the 301 W. 6th St. warehouse where The Iron Bear is currently located. We feel that The Iron Bear is an important institution for the LGBTQ+ community downtown and are hopeful that this bar is able to relocate again in a new downtown building with sufficient timing. We have formed our stance based on the following reasons: 1. The high potential for density and housing at this site. 2. The owner of the warehouse, Sixth & Lavaca 2018 LP, are in favor of demolition. 3. DANA does not find the warehouse to be exceptional or worth preserving, given the potential of this site to help achieve other community goals This site is located directly on a current MetroRapid corridor, an upcoming light rail corridor, in the walkshed from the upcoming Republic Square Project Connect station. Additionally, this lot is not in a Capitol View Corridor and is zoned to have no height limit. Given the items listed above, DANA supports the demolition of 301 W. 6th St. and is opposed to granting this lot historic zoning. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Kimberley Levinson President The DANA Board Downtown Austin Neighborhood Association
