HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS AUGUST 3, 2022 PR-2022-002404 & GF-2022-016498; 1315 & 1317 NEWNING AVE 13 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE Demolish two existing contributing buildings located in the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register District, which are 1315 Newning Ave. (ca. 1940) and 1317 Newning Ave (ca. 1915) on one parcel. Demolish all impervious cover and a third structure to the rear, between 1315 & 1317 Newning Avenue. 1317 Newning Ave. is a modest, single-story Greek Revival house with a rectangular plan on a pier and beam foundation, with a low-pitched, hipped metal roof. The residence has a full-width entry porch supported by pilasters and a single masonry chimney. A single-entry door and transom are flanked by two rectangular windows on the symmetrical façade, while three pairs of similar rectangular windows transverse the south elevation. 1315 Newning Ave. is a simple, single-story wood frame house of Minimal Traditional Style, circa 1940 with horizontal wood siding and a front-gabled asphalt roof. It has a small, lower gable roof extension on simple posts with concrete steps, forming a front porch over an off-center single-door entry. The façade contains two sets of rectangular windows on either side of the entrance, which appears to be 1:1 with aluminum replacement screens. RESEARCH 1315 Newning was constructed in the early 1940s. Research indicated water tap permits in 1951. It served as a rental property for most of its lifespan. In 1955, Richard D. and Hilda R. Rylander rented 1315 Newning Avenue. Richard was an accountant for the State Insurance Board. In 1957, Jack and Alma Clark became the new tenants. Jack was listed as serving with the United States Air Force. According to City directories, the house at 1315 Newning was vacant in 1959. 1317 Newning was built circa 1915. The first known mention by a city directory of this address was in 1916, when Guy and Beulah Cannon purchased the property. Guy was a local car salesman. After 1920, the property was then purchased by Jerome B. Wheatley, a sergeant for the Texas Rangers. Jerome Wheatley was hand-picked by Governor Pat Neff (term 1921-1925) to serve in the Texas Rangers1. Sergeant Wheatley was also a former Potter County Sheriff (1894-98), Moore County Sheriff, and Chief of Police for Amarillo2. According to City Directories, Captain Wheatley lived at the residence from at least 1922-1927, during which he was appointed to the Rangers …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS AUGUST 3, 2022 HR-2022-026102 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 1205 ALTA VISTA AVENUE 12 – 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."

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS AUGUST 3, 2022 HR-2022-070860 TRAVIS HEIGHTS - FAIRVIEW PARK 407 E. MONROE STREET 15 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1937 garage apartment and construct a new building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish garage apartment. 2) Construct a new building. The proposed building is split-leveled, with two stories plus basement and attic. It is clad in stucco, brick, and fiber cement siding. Its compound gabled roof is clad with matching standing-seam metal. Fenestration is irregular throughout and features a fully glazed multilight front door, front-facing garage door, and fixed undivided windows of varying proportions. ARCHITECTURE Two-story stucco garage apartment with screened wood windows, triangular brackets at overhanging first-floor eaves, and partially glazed entry door and garage doors facing the primary street frontage. 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 constructed at the site of the existing building, next to the primary structure. 2. Orientation The proposed building appears to be oriented toward the street, as is the existing structure. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed building’s massing is somewhat more complex than the existing simple rectangular garage apartment. Its height is similar. 4. Proportions The proposed building’s irregular proportions do not appear compatible with the surrounding historic district. 5. Design and style The proposed building’s design, while consistent, does not appear to relate to the surrounding district. 6. Roofs The steeply pitched open gables do not appear compatible with the existing primary building, though the applicant has removed flat roof elements to enhance compatibility. 7. Exterior walls The proposed building’s exterior wall materials have been changed to represent Committee feedback, rendering the project more compatible. 8. Windows and doors The proposed building’s irregular fenestration and undivided lights do not reflect the character of the district, though fenestration has been altered to enhance compatibility. Summary The project meets some applicable standards. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register district. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK Include divided lights in windows. Implement design changes to reduce building height and increase cohesion with streetscape at roofline and garage. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Release the demolition permit upon completion of a City …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS AUGUST 3, 2022 HR-2022-067914 TRAVIS HEIGHTS - FAIRVIEW PARK 2107 BRACKENRIDGE STREET 16 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish ca. 1946 house and ca. 1940 accessory building and construct a new duplex. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish existing buildings and construct a new duplex. The proposed duplex has a compound flat and gabled roof clad in standing-seam metal. Its exterior cladding includes stucco, diagonal wood siding, and stone. Fenestration is irregular throughout and includes undivided fixed and casement windows and full height sliding doors. ARCHITECTURE One-story cross-gabled house with horizontal siding, 1:1 windows, and rear two-story garage apartment. RESEARCH The primary building at 2107 Brackenridge Street was built in 1946 in front of an existing garage apartment, built 1940, which was converted to a duplex in 1949. Its residents included a cleaner, two carpenters, a rental property manager, and a tailor. 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 duplex is located approximately 50’ from Brackenridge Street. 2. Orientation The front unit of the proposed duplex is oriented toward the primary streetscape. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed duplex is two stories in height, with complex massing that appears at odds with the relatively simple massing of surrounding buildings. 4. Proportions The proposed duplex’s two-story height and top-heavy massing appear incompatible with nearby contributing buildings. 5. Design and style The proposed duplex’s postmodern style does not appear compatible with surrounding buildings. 6. Roofs The gabled roofline is somewhat compatible, though the complexity of the roofline is not. 7. Exterior walls The proposed cladding materials are not appropriate for the district, with the exception of the stucco, which appears elsewhere in the district. 8. Windows and doors The proposed irregular fenestration is largely incompatible; however, the applicant has amended the design to improve compatibility. 11. Attached garages and carports The proposed carports somewhat serve as a step-up element to mitigate the duplex’s upper-story visual weight. Summary The project does not meet most of the applicable standards. 16 – 2 PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The …

In general, the new design focused on maintaining the scale of original homes in the district. The standards state, “The scale and massing of a new building are essential to maintaining a property or historic district’s distinctive character—more so than architectural style or decorative details. However, well-designed.” 2. LOCATION. The structure is located in line with other houses so that it does not visually overpower existing adjacent houses. 3. ORIENTATION. The orientation (front door faces street) is consistent with adjacent contributing structures. 4. SCALE. Massing of house reflects character of nearby contributing houses. 5. STYLE. Scale, proportions and massing are in keeping with nearby houses, while a replica style is avoided. (Standards state that designs in both traditional and modern styles can successfully achieve compatibility and differentiation with historic buildings.) 6. WINDOWS. Windows proportions, size and profile look to nearby contributing structures. 7. PORCHES. A porch is incorporated, and the front door faces the street, to match the pattern in the district. 8. GARAGES. The garage is placed behind the house to minimize the visual prominence. Historic Design Standards 2607 McCallum Use this sheet if new construction/addition

Construct a multi-lot mixed use development. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish the commercial building and partially reconstruct the façade at 1116 W. 6th Street. Potential materials for the reconstruction include white brick or stone, reuse of existing brick, concrete, or treated or charred wood. 2) Demolish the residential building located immediately behind the store. 3) Construct a mixed-use development spanning the block to Blanco Street. The proposed redevelopment includes multi- level structures of varying materials, with flat-roofed upper floors and roof decks stepped back from the first- and second-floor façades. ARCHITECTURE The 2005 West Line National Register Historic District nomination describes 1116 W. 6th Street as follows: One of a number of Mission Revival-style commercial buildings on the north side of W. Sixth Street, this brick two-part commercial block was built in 1927. A three-bay storefront on the ground floor consists of central double doors flanked by expansive plate-glass windows; an additional door at the end of the facade leads to stairs to the upper floor. The second-story facade, punctured by paired and triple double-hung wood windows, terminates in a shaped parapet. A suspended metal awning covers the sidewalk, and a canted clay tile roof below the parapet shades the second-floor windows. To the east side of the building, a recessed porte-cochere is surmounted by a one-room wing. Centered on the stuccoed front elevation of the wing is a cluster of three windows, and wood stairs lead to an adjacent exterior door sheltered by a metal awning.1 1116-B W. 6th Street/1114 W. 6th Street is an L-plan Folk Victorian house. It appears to be side-gabled, with traditional cornice returns, and has a board-and-batten rear addition with a hipped roof of corrugated metal. It is not visible from the primary W. 6th Street frontage. RESEARCH From 1927-1944, the building housed a grocery run by Alexander (Alex) and Annie Junck Fischer, who lived on the upper floor. The Fischers sold the building to Raymond Campi, who also owned the cluster of small commercial buildings on the other corner of the block. Campi operated Capitol Floors until 1955. The building was then occupied by Bill Bunch Flowers, a florist shop run by Gus …

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS window openings. 3) Add steel shade structures to north, east, and west elevations. 4) Add solar chimneys to roof of north wing. RESEARCH 1) Repair exterior masonry with matching brick and mortar. 2) Extend windowsills to ground at park- and pool-side elevations to create doors. Add steel infill panels in existing Parque Zaragoza’s bathhouse was constructed around 1941 by community volunteers and National Youth Association program members with Parks Department support. It abuts the northeast corner of the swimming pool. In addition to its basic function as a restroom, shower, and changing area for bathers, the bathhouse—referred to as a “shelter house and caretaker’s unit” in period documentation—was historically used as both the caretaker’s residence and an all-purpose community center. Its character-defining features include expansive horizontal windows, low-relief brick coping and windowsills, long and low massing, and pointed-arch entrances on the pool-facing (west) elevation. Parque Zaragoza’s swimming pool was built in 1933 as a segregated public facility. Though it was one of the smallest city pools, it remained the only public pool open to Mexican Americans for much of the twentieth century, drawing record crowds to the park each summer. The concrete pool in the northwest quadrant of the park measures approximately 100 feet by 40 feet. A concrete sidewalk punctuated by depth markers and benches and edged by a grassy lawn surrounds the pool. Three-quarters of the site are enclosed by a chain-link fence topped with razor wire, with the northeast corner wrapped by the 1941 bathhouse. 1 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 National Register properties. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards The proposed project stabilizes and repairs historic fabric.

Moore served as a City alderman during his time in the home. He was a prolific builder, landing contracts to build at the Travis County fairgrounds, the City’s water settling basin, a Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone exchange building, and the Confederate Women’s Home, among others. He served as president of Austin’s Builder’s Exchange group, hosting contractor conventions and organizing events for local professionals. The house was then occupied by various tradesmen from 1912-1920, including a contractor, miller, and blacksmith. From 1927-35 James and Elvira Sylvester lived in the house. After James Sylvester passed away in the early 1930s, his wife continued to live in the house until 1941.The house was rented briefly in the 40s before being bought by Pedro and Esther Tamayo. The Tamayo family owned the house from 1947-1952, and Sterling and Eula Borders owned it from 1955-1957.

The property has long-standing significant associations with persons, groups, institutions, businesses, or events of historic importance which contributed significantly to the history of the city, state, or nation; or represents a significant portrayal of the cultural practices or the way of life of a definable group of people in a historic time. PHONE: 512-974-2727 Nominator Nneka Shoulds, the home’s current occupant, describes the building’s historical associations: Recommended as not eligible for a local historic landmark designation in the East Austin Historical Resources Survey of 2016, 1605 Leona St. was essential in assisting a multicultural Tejano-Irish immigrant family and a marginalized Black American family to establish strong foundations upon which future generations would launch long-lasting legacies. Uniquely located directly across from historic Oakwood Cemetery (originally called City Cemetery and the oldest city-owned cemetery in Austin), the home tells the untold story of two families who achieved their American dreams against unimaginable odds. The people who lived here experienced and endured painful racial segregation and discriminatory practices, and they fought against those conditions with dignity and courage to break barriers in education, the military, music, and business. 1605 Leona St. is the childhood home of Raymond (Ramón) “Cowboy” Donley, known as the “godfather of Tejano music.” Donley was a classically trained violinist who once played with the Durango Symphony. Raymond made his living as a barber by day, but at night, he led his band, La Orquesta de Ramon Donley. His son, Manuel Donley, took an …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS AUGUST 3, 2022 HR-2022-084104 SEBRON G. SNEED HOUSE 6301 BLUFF SPRINGS ROAD 5.0 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct an apartment complex around the Judge Sebron G. Sneed House ruins erected circa 1857-1860. 1) Construct a three-building apartment complex around the Sebron Sneed House ruins, providing a 25’ buffer zone between the ruins and the pool and other new construction. Proposed buildings are each three stories in height and display Mission Revival stylistic cues; they are clad in stucco and capped with hipped, tiled roofs. Columned arches accent the main entrance to each building. 2) Construct a fence around the ruins. Note: The applicant has provided 2015 correspondence, per Committee feedback, showing that former Preservation Officer Steve Sadowsky requested a mortar analysis and preliminary stabilization plan. The applicant specified that tuck-pointing and consolidation would be implemented following an observation report and recommendation from a masonry restoration contractor and the erection of a double steel fence around the ruins (see backup). RESEARCH & ARCHITECTURE The home on this site was zoned historic in 1979, with the surrounding area rezoned historic in 1980. The house was destroyed by fire in 1989, and the ruins remain. Travis County foreclosed on the home for taxes owed in 2002 and retained the property until a private owner purchased the site from the county in 2006. Invest SmartHomes Inc owned it from 2006-2009, then The Foresight Foundation from 2009-2011. Since 2011, the property has toggled ownership between the same companies: IndoPak Investments, Inc and The Circle at The Nelms. In 1854, Judge Sebron G. Sneed moved his entire family from Fayetteville, Arkansas, to his newly acquired 470-acre farm south of the present city of Austin. Construction of a permanent family residence was begun shortly after that in 1857 and continued for five years. War stopped the work, and the house, never entirely completed, lacked its intended porches and interior finishes.1 The stone for the walls was quarried on the property and finished by hand. Lumber for the floors, roof, and finish material was acquired from the Lost Pine Forest at Bastrop, Texas, 30 miles east of the residence site. A Historic American Building Survey (HABS TX - 399) dated 2/3/1937 described the house as follows: “ This native limestone residence is located one mile off the Austin-San Antonio Highway on the Austin-Lockhart Highway, near Austin, Travis County. …
B -1. 1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2007-0042 ADDRESS: 1801 Nelms Drive (Sebron Sneed House) OWNERS: Invest Smart Homes, Inc. HLC DATE: June 25, 2007 July 23, 2007 August 27, 2007 ZAP DATE: COUNCIL DATE: AGENT: Thrower Design (A. Ron Thrower) SF-3-H GR-MU-CO-H, with the conditional overlay limiting the commercial (Todd Rayer) ZONING FROM: TO: uses to those allowed under the LR district AREA: 1.78 acres STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Multi-Family Residence – Moderate-High Density (MF-4-H) with the requirement that there be at least a 40-foot “buffer zone” between the exterior walls of the ruins and the exterior walls of the proposed multi-family development. DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The home on this site was zoned historic in 1979 to honor Judge Sebron Sneed with the surrounding site having been rezoned historic in 1980. The house was destroyed by fire many years ago and the ruins remain (see attached photographs). Travis County foreclosed on the home for taxes owed and the site was recently purchased from the County by a private owner. In January and February, 2007, the owner presented plans to the Historic Landmark Commission (HLC) for a Certificate of Appropriateness on the treatment of the ruins. The HLC granted a Certificate of Appropriateness in April, 2007 for stabilization of the ruins and indicating that the applicant’s proposal constituted the minimum of the preservation work approved for the site. The applicant proposes a multi-family residential project two stories tall surrounding the proposed plaza incorporating the ruins. The applicant is now requesting a change in the base zoning to GR-MU-CO-H, Community Commercial-Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay-Historic zoning. The conditional overlay proposed would limit the commercial uses to those allowed under the less intense, LR, Neighborhood Commercial, zoning district. The applicant maintains that the primary use of the site would be residential though the GR-MU zoning does not require a mix of uses on the site and would permit entirely GR development. Regardless of the zoning, any new construction will be reviewed for a Certificate of Appropriateness by the HLC. The Zoning Staff recommends the applicant’s original rezoning request of MF-4-H. MF-4 zoning is intended for multifamily and group residential use with a maximum density of 36 to 54 units per acre, depending on unit size. The Land Development Code provides that an MF-4 district designation may be applied to high density housing in a centrally located area near supporting transportation and commercial facilities or in an …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION AUGUST 22, 2011 APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS C14H-1977-0011 Sebron Sneed House 1801 Nelms Drive B.2 - 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant is seeking a conceptual review to proceed with development plans for this site. The applicant is proposing redevelopment of this site, as was previously reviewed by the Commission several years ago. The Sebron Sneed House is a ruin; the historic zoning on the property is limited to a buffer area of 25 feet around the perimeter of the ruins. The applicant had requested that the Certificate of Appropriateness Review Committee review a plan for developing the area inside the ruins and also sought review of the placement of sidewalks and other public access routes to the ruins. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Commission’s Standards for Review of applications for Certificates of Appropriateness include: Do not destroy the distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure, or site and its environment. Avoid the removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive architectural features. Recognize all buildings, structures, and sites as products of their own time. Do not construct alterations which have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier appearance. Changes which have taken place over time are evidence of the history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment. Recognize and respect the changes, which may have acquired significance in their own right. Treat with sensitivity distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which characterize a building, structure, or site. Make every reasonable effort to provide a compatible use for a property that requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its environment or to use the property for its originally-intended purpose. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS The Committee recommended against any new development within the core of the ruins, and recommended that the public access to the ruins take into account viewability of the ruins from the public right-of-way. STAFF RECOMMENDATION This is a conceptual review of development plans for the site, which will largely be outside the limits of historic zoning; however, staff recommends as great a public accessibility and ability to see the ruins from the public right-of-way as possible, and a prohibition against any development within the walls of the ruins. Staff further recommends the installation of B.2 - 2 an interpretive display detailing the history of the …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2015 APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS C14H-1977-0011 Sebron Sneed House 1801 Nelms Drive B.5 - 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Tuck point the remaining limestone walls of the ruined house and clean the site of debris. The applicant proposes to stabilize the remaining limestone walls of the house, which was gutted by fire many years ago. The applicant will obtain a qualified masonry restoration contractor, and further consult with persons with expertise in restoration work to evaluate the stability of the stone walls and obtain a recommendation of the scope of work to preserve the remaining walls. The applicant is proposing to mortar the existing walls with white Portland cement, ASTM C 150, Type I or Type II, which will not contain more than 0.60% total alkali, and hydrated lime, ASTM C 207, Type S. . The mortar sand will be ASTM C 144 with a natural sand color, and will match the size, texture, and gradation of existing mortar sand as closely as possible. After the restoration work is complete, two rings of steel fencing will be erected to prevent intrusions to the ruins. A protective epoxy sealant will be applied to the top of the walls to prevent further deterioration from water penetration. The applicant further proposes to clear the site of intrusive vegetation and debris. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Commission’s Standards for Review of applications for Certificates of Appropriateness include: • Do not destroy the distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure, or site and its environment. Avoid the removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive architectural features. Recognize all buildings, structures, and sites as products of their own time. Do not construct alterations which have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier appearance. Repair, rather than replace deteriorated architectural features wherever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture, and other visual qualities. Base the repair or replacement of missing architectural features on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historical, physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the availability of different architectural elements from other buildings or structures. • • COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS Not reviewed.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS AUGUST 3, 2022 HR-2022-075037 HILDRETH-FLANAGAN-HEIERMAN HOUSE 3909 AVENUE G 6 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a swimming pool. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE Install a swimming pool in side yard. Replace existing fence and plant privacy hedges around the pool area. The house’s 1990 National Register nomination describes it as follows: […] 2-story frame dwelling that was built in 1902. As is sometimes seen on contemporaneous houses, the dwelling retains the features of Victorian-era housing coupled with details from the Classical Revival style. The house remains virtually unaltered and is in good condition. A massive 2-story dwelling with a generally square plan, the house rests on a pier-and-beam foundation. The primary (east) facade is dominated by a 2-tier porch featuring Doric columns and turned-wood balustrades suggestive of the Classical Revival style popular in Texas during the early 20th century. A projecting 2- tiered portico a t the south end of the porch marks the entry bay. Fenestration includes a single doorway with transom and double-hung wood sash with 1/1 lights. Polygonal projecting bays on the side (north) elevation alleviate the regular massing. Along with the complex roofscape of steeply pitched hipped and gable roof forms, these features are more typica l of Victorian-er a dwellings. Interior corbelled chimneys of buff-colored brick extend from the north and south slopes of the hipped roof. Modest changes that do not adversely affect the dwelling's historic integrity include a 2- story addition on the rear (west) elevation and installation of metal awnings over the windows and the entry bay of the porch.1 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: Sites and streetscapes 1. Vegetation, topography, and landscaping 1.3 If the property had a grassy, open front lawn when constructed, maintain that context. Do not replace the lawn with paving or gravel. The proposed pool has been pushed toward the rear of the property to improve maintenance of context. 2. Walls and fences 2.4 If constructing a new street-side fence or site wall, design it so that the materials, style, and scale are compatible with and differentiated from the architectural style and period of the building and are in keeping with historic fence styles and heights in …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS AUGUST 3, 2022 HR-2022-084876 HYDE PARK 4005 AVENUE B 7.0 – 1 Addition, remodel, and new construction to a circa 1928 single-family residence. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Add rear yard screen porch hyphen attaching new construction 2 story guest suite with bathroom and loft for bedroom. The hyphen will continue the ridgeline and roof of eaves. Match materials of the existing house on hyphen and new 2 story addition except the foundation will be slab on grade. 2) Build a new open carport over the existing rear driveway and paint it to match the house. 3) Add a small tool shed (40 sq. ft) to the existing NE wall under the existing windows. 4) Replace the existing rear deck in kind. ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS 4005 Avenue B is a Craftsman Style duplex residence built in 1928. It was renovated into a single-family home later and renovations have continued as recently as 20081. It is a single-story form with a low pitch, front-gabled roof with decorative braces under the gables and visible rafter tails. The home has two separate street-facing partial porches, with replacement single door entryways: evidence of its past life as a duplex. The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 3.5: Roofs: 1. Retain the original roof pitches and profiles on the building. Avoid changes to roofs on the front of the building. Avoid adding to the eave height of original roofs, especially at the front of the structure. Retain historic dormers. 2. In replacing roof materials, consider first the use of the original material, then the use of a product that resembles the original material, such as fiberglass or other energy-efficient shingle. Metal roofs are also acceptable. 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 that 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 does not appear to require the removal of a significant amount of historic fabric. It mostly reflects the form of the existing house. 4.2: Location: Locate new additions and alterations to the rear or rear side of the building so that …

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Completely deconstruct existing contributing building. 2) Reconstruct the building façade. Approximately 23% of the original building will remain, with street-facing fenestration patterns unaltered. 3) Construct a new multi-story building beyond and directly atop the reconstructed façade. The proposed second floor will replicate the fenestration pattern and existing roofline at the first floor. Proposed new windows are fixed and undivided. The third and fourth floors are set back from the parapet and appear to be constructed of light-colored brick and fixed glazing, with flat roofs of variable height. ARCHITECTURE One-story Spanish Colonial Revival commercial building, originally with three tenant spaces demarcated by transom door- and-window combinations at each bay. Larger divided transoms appear above each fenestration unit. The building is clad in horizontal siding and is capped with a terra cotta tile shed roof, above which the parapet extends at each end of the building. DESIGN STANDARDS The Castle Hill Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: A.1. GENERAL DISTRICT STANDARDS (a) Repair, rather than replace, original materials. Replace only materials that are deteriorated beyond repair or that detract from and are not original to the building. Replacement materials shall match the original materials when feasible. The proposed project entirely deconstructs the existing building, leaving the façade only. It replaces character-defining divided transoms with undivided fixed glazing and replaces the terra cotta roof with another material. (b) Do not make changes to the public view of an existing contributing or non-contributing building that have no historic basis and/or that seek to create the appearance of an architectural style that is not original to the existing building. The proposed project replicates the first floor and existing roofline at a new second story. (c) Use best efforts to utilize photographic or physical evidence when reconstructing original historic details. The proposed project appropriately reconstructs the existing façade, except for the glazing and roofline. C.1. REHABILITATION OR ALTERATION OF CONTRIBUTING BUILDINGS (a) Maintain the historic style and retain character-defining features. (c) Repair existing original windows unless determined infeasible due to excessive deterioration that is adequately documented in the application for a …

Attachment to Historic Review Application for: 1110, 1112, 1114, 1116, 1118-20, 1122-24 W 6th Street Castle Hill Local Historic District / West Line National Historic District The application under review is related to a proposed redevelopment of the above listed properties. The development is a moderately dense mix of various commercial and residential uses, stacked vertically. The building mass decreases with each level. Towards the perimeter of the proposed building, and specifically towards W 6th Street, the development maintains a 2-story frontage, stepping back the upper levels. This creates a continuous and respectful elevation which seamlessly integrates with the existing buildings and restores the historic urban fabric of W 6th Street. There is a conscious decision not to maximize the available height based on zoning allowances, which would overpower and dominate the existing buildings. The idea of historic preservation as related to this proposal is not just about preserving the two contributing structures on the site, but to also develop the surrounding structure in a respectful way which emphasizes and strengthens the character and feel of the neighborhood. Similarly, the proposed material composition, which is very much in development, will pay homage to the Clarksville neighborhood traditions and history. The architectural elements which make up the façade proposal are very much rooted in local vocabulary. All this in order to integrate into the existing context, respect the beautiful existing buildings not just on site but those in the vicinity, and root the project in the traditions of the place and its history.

HISTORICITY ANALYSIS 1100 Block W 6th Street October 11, 2021 Prepared for Clarks Village, LP 1601 Miriam Ave #306 | Austin, TX 78702 | 512-970-4706 | jlaycock10@gmail.com October 11, 2021 Mr. Barrett Lepore Clarks Village, LP RE: 1100 Block W 6th Barrett, I have reviewed the properties referenced above, from 1110 W 6th to 1130 W 6th, as well as 605 Blanco and 607 Blanco Street. In general, they are typically of a pre-WWII streetcar development pattern, with a mix of bungalows and small, neighborhood serving stores. Only one of the properties appears to be historically significant in its own right; however, according to the city of Austin every property except for Z Tejas and Swedish Hill is considered contributing to a historic district, which means any alteration will require historic landmark review. That said, the information and conclusions in this report are made upon my experience with the city and informed by the resources available. I hope that this information will prove useful to you. After your review I look forward to discussing it with you further. If you have any questions or desire further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

The study area contains 10 principal buildings and on 6 parcels. The buildings range in age from 1895 (1114 W 6th) to 1995 (1120 W 6th). This block was historically a mix of residential and commercial buildings, including live/work buildings with a residence above the store. For instance, from 1927 to 1944, 1116 W 6th street, formerly Fortney’s, was home to Alex Fischer Grocery, with Alex Fischer and his wife living in the residence …

Equity Considerations in Contracts and Program Funding Historic Landmark Commission August 3, 2022 Neal Falgoust, Assistant City Attorney Purpose • Discuss legal risks associated with using race, gender and protected-class criteria in determining awards of contracts and program funding. 2 Why Now? • Recent federal court decisions that put race-focused programs at risk. • Law Department deliberative process. • Briefing to City Council. 3 Acknowledgement • History of intentional racial segregation – 1928 Master Plan and “Negro District.” • Oppression of BIPOC – 1954 Federal Housing Act, “urban renewal,” and seizing of Black-owned land. • City Council has committed the City to correcting its racist practices. (Resolution 20210304-067) 4 City’s Programs • As part of Project Connect, community members developed displacement mitigation strategies and an equity tool to guide decision making. (“Nothing About Us Without Us”) • EDD also wants an equity focus for the Cultural Arts and Heritage Tourism grant programs. 5 Legal Foundation • 14th Amendment – Equal Protection Clause • No government may “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” 6 “Tiered Scrutiny” • Strict Scrutiny (Race, National Origin, Religion, Alienage) – Government must demonstrate the policy is narrowly tailored to meet a compelling purpose. • Intermediate Scrutiny (Gender, Sex, Sexual Orientation?) – Government must demonstrate the policy is substantially related to an important purpose. • Rational Basis (Age, Disability, Wealth, Felony Status) – The policy must have a rational connection to a legitimate interest. 7 Strict Scrutiny Any government program that takes race into consideration faces strict scrutiny by the courts. Strict scrutiny is the most rigorous judicial review. Courts start with presumption that policy is invalid and government must prove its interests. 8 Compelling Government Interest The government must demonstrate: • actual discrimination in the relevant market, and • that the government either actively or passively perpetuated the discrimination. 9 Narrowly Tailored The government must demonstrate: • it considered other race-neutral policies; • race-neutral policies failed to achieve the compelling interest. 10 City of Richmond v. J.A. Croson Co. • “Generalized assertions” of past racial discrimination would not justify “rigid” quotas; • 30 percent quota could not be connected to “any injury suffered by anyone;” • Race-neutral measures must be seriously considered. 11 Evidence Acceptable to a Court Disparity studies are conducted to determine if there is discrimination in the studied market and if the government is an active …

I'll be at the meeting tomorrow to speak. Other tenants might possibly speak, too, though a number of them have multiple jobs and could find it difficult to attend. Attached are a couple photos of what the topmost window in my apartment looks like now. I've also attached a video of when they broke the window (when they were hammering siding all day long onto this side of the building). I was recording the noise from them hammering the siding, and I happened to capture video of them actually breaking the window. (I was "lucky," because in another apartment, when they broke the window it shattered into the apartment and onto the tenant's table while he was there.) The contractors were going into apartments today to stuff these windows with insulation and cover them "permanently" from the inside. I will not be allowing them in my unit. Also, we were not given notice about this, and they have been using keys provided to them by management--they even covered the neighbor's security camera when they went in to do the "work" in her absence. I have something written to share with the Commission, which I'll send along later. Thank you for your help, Jackie CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

My name is Jackie Doyle, I live at 3107 Speedway, Apt. 202, one of the sixteen apartments at this address. I am chagrined to learn that this property’s developer/owner/landlord (Amir Kalantari) defied the Historic Landmark Commission and undertook the demolition/construction work at this address before the Commission could hold this hearing, notice of which I received only last week. Along with a number of other residents, I started reporting the extreme noise and hazardous conditions caused by the demolition and construction activities at this complex to Code Compliance in early June. The Code inspector informed us that there was no building permit, and he came to the property on numerous occasions, documented violations, and told the crews to stop work—which they nevertheless resumed when he was not there. A number of tenants, including myself, started taking photos and videos of the work and hazardous conditions. While this developer (Amir Kalantari), apparently contemptuous of the Commission’s and the City’s authority, clearly views the process of securing a permit as a bureaucratic inconvenience, his tenants have very painfully experienced how un-permitted, unregulated, and unmonitored demolition and construction activities cause havoc, creating very dangerous conditions at an occupied property and destroying the unique, defining characteristics of a building. In June, the Code inspector sent (to the name and address on file) a certified letter concerning this un-permitted work; the building permit application gave only “Parker at Hyde Park LLC” as the name, and a PO box as the owner’s address. The name of the owner/developer/landlord is Amir Kalantari, and he continued to have the contractors perform the work. The Code inspector spoke directly with Amir’s representative, Solé, telling her the work must stop; at one point, she deceitfully attempted to pass off an old permit as current. This work did not involve any repairs whatsoever. None of the work was necessary. It did not represent an improvement in any way, shape, or form. In fact, the construction activities themselves made the property dangerous for everyone: there was debris strewn everywhere, including large blades for cutting metal; welding work was undertaken right outside our doors, leaving us exposed to potentially blinding welding arcs when we came out of our apartments; stairways and breezeways were often blocked in both directions, forcing us to maneuver around workers metal railings were being cut all day (for many days) right outside our doors—the excruciatingly painful noise made it …
Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: M Shuman Tuesday, August 2, 2022 10:10 PM HPD Preservation 1514 Newton Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Flagged *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Hello, I would like to speak against the demolition of 1514 Newton. I live next door ( 15 feet from our bedroom) and am very worried about the demolition as my wife is sick with major cancer and undergoing chemo at the moment. I realize I missed the noon deadline to speak remotely but I hope you can make an exception as she is immuno compromised and I am not going in public at the moment. There are several other reasons I oppose this demo and I would like the opportunity to share them with the commission. Thank you for any help you can offer.

PR-2022-064526 Proposed Demolition of 1514 Newton. To : Historic Preservation Office I am writing to voice my opposition to the proposed demolition of 1514 Newton St. I am asking the commission to please consider a postponement or deny the request for the following reasons. I have a very big concern about the developer rushing into this demolition. This house is 15 feet away from our house and my wife has a serious health condition and we are concerned about asbestos and lead paint dust (among other contaminants) coming over to our property next door. We already had dust this week from a house torn down 150 feet from where we live. If demolition is the only option, I would like time to discuss this with the developer and develop a plan of action to contain the potential hazards to our health. I believe that the developer should consider saving the existing house, which was constructed by the same person (Mr. Polvado) who built our house next door in 1920. He was the uncle of the woman (Dorothy Polvado) who we purchased our house from in 2003 and lived here her entire life. I would like more time to research the historical significance of Mr. Polvado’s life and the construction of these two historical housed. The house at 1514 was updated in period style circa 2006 by local architects Michelle and Eric Van Hyte who are current Austin residents. I would like the developer to consider preserving the current house and possibly adding an ADU in the back, as opposed to erasing the history of our neighborhood. When we remodeled our house next door in 2009, we retained the historic look and feel of the neighborhood. I recently visited another property the 1514 developer is developing and I am concerned about the height of the building he built on it. If that is the intention here, I hope he will consider what is next door when designing the new building. (Please see photos on page 2) I also have a concern about 110 year old pecan trees, which we share as neighbors. There are a couple that hang over my house that the base of the tree is on the border of 1514 Newton and my fence line. Our intersection (Newton & Monroe) is one of the last areas with multiple historic style bungalows, which have been preserved by their respective …
