This house is an architectural treasure as an example of mid century modern style by Fred Day, a renowned Architect in Austin with a legacy of design excellence. I believe the community and the developer would be better served if there were compromises made in return for preservation of this structure. These could include density bonuses or development incentives that would allow more intensive use of the land. The existing house could be an ADU to a multi‐ unit development that would save the house, increase the density, and add tax base to the City tax roll, win‐win‐win. I hope that the developer and the preservation board takes this into consideration in the spirit of compromise that works to the advantage of all parties.
