Brummett, Elizabeth From: Sent: To: Subject: Candace Volz Sunday, January 24, 2021 11:25 AM PAZ Preservation 2803 Bonnie Rd Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Flagged *** External Email ‐ Exercise Caution *** To the Historic Preservation Office‐ I am opposed to the proposed demolition of 2803 Bonnie Rd. The Nalle Co. bought this property in 10/20 for almost $1.3 million, and not because it’s a charming, historic house with its original integrity intact. No, they bought it for redevelopment and profit. Builders/ developers are profiting off of our historic inner city neighborhoods. They see them as blank fields in the suburbs ready for new construction. But these neighborhoods are not that. They’re Austin’s history and character. 2803 Bonnie will end up shoveled into an Austin landfill. It’s building materials and the energy embodied in them will be trashed. This is a fabulous way to ring our city‐ the one that’s working toward zero waste‐with overflowing landfills of building materials that are far superior to modern materials: fully dimensional old growth lumber, solid metal hardware, kitchen cabinets that aren’t substantially plastic, hardwood floors, operable sash windows that can actually be refurbished when needed. Please‐ tell Nalle NO. Tell them to stick to the fields on the edge of Austin. Thank you, Candace Volz CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.
