Gaudette, Angela From: Sent: To: Subject: Lisa Whatley <whatley.lisa@gmail.com> Monday, August 24, 2020 11:11 AM PAZ Preservation Case number GF 20-108724 - 2816 San Pedro *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** To: Angela Gaudette From: Lisa Whatley, 2835 Pearl Street, pne 512‐410‐0115 Public hearing: Historic Landmark Commission, August 24, 2020 Case number: GF 20‐108724 ‐ 2816 San Pedro I object to the demolition of the house at 2816 San Pedro. I am very much against demolishing this perfectly fine historic house. I am against the huge disruption of the peace of the neighborhood, the noise and artificial dust storm that a demolition will create. I am against the callous wasteful way these demolitions are done, not piecemeal and respectfully, but with giant jaws tearing it all up into a big pile of broken glass, ripped planks, wrecked plastic, ripped metal and asbestos, with not a spec of that recycled, not even the wood the likes of which we will never see again ‐ this is despicable and ought to be illegal. But of course, IS all perfectly legal seeing as the entire old west campus neighborhood has been wiped out, and perfectly in line with what the bigwigs and developers have in mind. I'm sure they would tear down my house too if they got the chance. It seems like the Austin's vision is to wipe out any traces of anything under 40 stories tall and thus wipe out / drive out our history ‐ I'm against that vision. I hope this objection reaches the Historic Landmark Commission and that they have a heart in this matter. CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.
