OWANA Old West Austin Neighborhood Association  PO Box 2724  Austin, TX 78768  April 23, 2021 Chair & Commissioners Historic Landmark Commission City of Austin Dear Commissioners, OWANA’s zoning committee met with the architects on this project and we voted to oppose it for the following reasons: - Demolition of a contributing structure to our National Historic Register - Design of building does NOT fit with the neighborhood - This type of structure does not belong on this site and location on corner of Windsor and HR-21-043627 1201 Enfield Road Enfield increases likelihood of additional accidents involving pedestrians and cars - Lack of vegetation and trees in front of building adds to the starkness of the building - The placement of the box like structure at the front of the property on such a large lot with its beautiful trees is not a creative and well thought out plan. A better plan would have allowed the structure(s) to better fit the lot and blend in. Thank you for your attention to this project Sincerely yours, Rosemary Merriam Chair, OWANA Zoning Committee
