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 2102 Alta Vista Ave. GF‐2020‐17951 to please reconsider the addition to the front of the house. While I have not seen their construction plans, an addition on the front sounds like it would eliminate or change the current facade and remove the home from its Contributing status in our National Register district. I'm sure a creative architect could find a way to re‐design to meet the needs of the owners while retaining the historic integrity that is still quite good and valuable to our district. Thank you for your consideration, Melanie Martinez 1214 Newning Ave. CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.
