Again. Item C.1.0, 1805 Waterston Avenue *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** On behalf of the Clarksville Community Development Corporation (CCDC), I once again request that you delay making a decision on release of a demo permit for the contributing house located at 1805 Waterston in the Clarksville National Register District.  As I have explained previously, CCDC representatives met with Jesse Nalle of Nalle Custom Homes on June 3. We knew the odds of convincing him not to demo the home were dismal, so we focused on suggesting changes to the new home he wants to build that would make it less ”suburban,” more Clarksville. In fact, we asked him to address some of the very issues that Kalan Contreras later pointed out in her staff report. And we offered to work with Mr. Nalle on revisions to his plans.  Since our first meeting, we have communicated regularly with Mr. Nalle and his staff and have been told repeatedly that new plans would be coming soon. However, the plans you have on file are the same ones we saw on June 3rd. In other words, nothing has changed.   I am an optimist so I want to believe that Nalle Custom Homes truly intends to do what it said it would. Postponing a decision on its request for a demo permit will give the company yet another chance to do that.  Mary Reed  President, Clarksville Community Development Corporation  1           MR•PR  Austin, TX 78703         Be Kind    "I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear." MLK      CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source. Please use caution when clicking links  or opening attachments. If you believe this to be a malicious and/or phishing email, please forward this email to  cybersecurity@austintexas.gov.   2
