July 23, 2021 City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission Re: Agenda Items B2 and B3 Historic Landmark Commissioners, As a long-time property owner in the 1000 block of Congress Avenue, I write to you in support of the applicant’s proposal to deconstruct, and then reconstruct, the historic facades of 907, 909 and 911 Congress Avenue. These facades have long been in disrepair and I am happy to see a proposed solution that will lead us to proper facades along this historic frontage. My understanding is that this permit is the first step toward that vision, and that there is a proposed restrictive covenant that will require that the facades be replaced within 3 years. The proposed redevelopment will also come to this commission for review, and I look forward to seeing the design proposal when it is ready. I support this approach and timeline. Respectfully, Joel Sher Vice President, Ten O’ Five, Inc. General Partner Congress Holdings, Ltd 1005 Congress Avenue, Suite 150 Austin, TX 78701 512.478.1005 512.478.1077 (Fax)
