I'm a resident of Fairview Park and am also a volunteer for the SRCC's Preservation Committee. I am speaking for myself, however. After the last meeting, I understood that the owners were very considerate of their impact on what's possibly the most significant street in our National Register District. I do appreciate the concessions they are willing to make, such as not painting the original stone, but I am still concerned about damaging the original facade by installing French doors where there are now windows. I saw some "revised" plans in the backup material but did not see that change. If that HAS changed, then disregard my comment. Unfortunately, changing to the French Doors would remove the home from contributing status. Sincerely, Melanie Martinez 1214 Newning Ave. CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source. Please use caution when clicking links or opening attachments.
