From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Olivia B. Ruiz Allen, Amber; PAZ Preservation Olivia B. Ruiz 1805 Waterston - Case No. GF-21060230 Monday, May 24, 2021 11:24:58 AM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Ms. Allen: I am sending you one copy of the below email, which I sent to all members of the Historic Commission. I didn’t want to fill your in-box with 11 emails. Thank you. Olivia Dear Historical Land Commission Member: Once again, a buyer buys into our Historical District and wants to building a monstrosity modern duplex. I am requesting that you respect the NRHD designation by denying the request to build new homes on the lot. I do not see any compelling reason to tear it down — it is stylishly remodeled both inside and out. Although, I do not appreciate the modern front windows. I bought a house in Clarksville because I want to maintain its historical character. By granting the developer’s request, you contribute to the minimization of the original Black landowners by worked so hard to build these historical houses. I hope and request that you vote against this change and show the original Black owners that their contribution to Austin continues to be appreciated. Thank you. Olivia Ruiz Olivia B.
