Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Adrienne Domas Goldsberry Monday, June 28, 2021 11:18 AM PAZ Preservation Re: case no. PR-2021-078188 Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Flagged Thank you, Amber. I am unfortunately unabel to participate in this evening's meeting. Is there a way that you or another staff member can pass along my comments to the Commission members and have them read at the hearing? They are below. If there is another way I should submit them, let me know. We live at 1417 W. 10th St; the property immediately to the west of this project. We generally agree with staff's concerns/comments about the proposed design, as listed in response to the City of Austin's standards for review of a project within a historic district. As staff noted, the project is considerably larger and different in style than most if not all other buildings in the Old West Austin neighborhood. The steel fencing is not compatible with the neighborhood and is rather 'harsh' in a family‐friendly, walkable area, although we appreciate the architect moving the fencing along 10th farther back and behind landscaping in response to our feedback. While we understand the owner's desire to build a large modern house on a large lot, we would continue to ask that he find ways to make the design ‐ through landscaping, building materials, etc. more compatible with the feel of the neighborhood. Thank you for your consideration of these comments.

PR‐2021‐078188 Hello Amber, *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** We would like to participate in the meeting for the permit requested at 1415 W. 10th Street. We live in the neighboring house to the west, at 1417 W. 10th St. We would respectfully request that the applicant construct a house that is compatible in size, scale, and design with the neighborhood. The last time we saw a design proposal it was for a very large home, which, while set far back from the street, is much larger than any house in the immediate vicinity.
