GF-2020-175404 *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Commissioners, I'm a long‐time resident of Fairview Park, and one of the neighbors who spent the past 15 years working toward our National Register historic district designation. I also volunteer on the SRCC's Preservation Committee but I'm writing as an individual and not on behalf of that group. I am writing to ask the owners of 1016 Avondale Rd. GF‐2020‐175404 to please consider the Mid‐Century Modern character of this home in their addition and to retain the streetview facade. I would also encourage them not to paint the natural stone. As the choice of fenestration will have such a big impact on the facade, I hope they will work with the Preservation office and their architect to select a period‐appropriate style. Thank you for your consideration, Melanie Martinez 1214 Newning Ave. CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.
