From: Sent: To: Subject: Mary Reed Thursday, April 15, 2021 4:19 AM Luis Zaragoza Re: Clarifying something Aubrey told you yesterday Hi Luis: The CCDC board of directors has given me permission to send the members of the HLC and staff an email indicating that although our preference of course is for 1104 Toyath to be rehabilitated so that it can remain a contributing structure in the Clarksville NRHD, we will not oppose Pardisa's demolition application. We will not oppose because Paradisa Homes heard the concerns we expressed about its original plans and as a result, designed a totally new house that is far more appropriate for Clarksville. I will send the email this week. Mary MR•PR Austin, TX 78703 Be Kind "I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear." MLK On Mon, Apr 12, 2021 at 7:33 PM Luis Zaragoza Mary, I'd like to submit to you a proposal to keep the existing form of the front facade. All materials would be new. We'll want to use as much of the original flooring as possible as well. The existing home is located inside the 25' front setback, (approx. 15') so we'd need to move the house regardless. I hope this is something you and your team are agreeable to. We would very much like to reach a decision before the HLC meeting this month, which we are on schedule for, so please let me know if you would like to hop on a call this week to discuss. wrote: 1 To help protect y our priv acy , Micro so ft Office prev ented auto matic download of this pictu re from the In ternet. On Fri, Apr 2, 2021 at 4:04 PM Luis Zaragoza Good Afternoon Mary, Thanks for the information. We expect to have an elevation for you to review within the next couple of weeks, and we're interested in re-using some of the original flooring so thanks for the tip. Have a great weekend. wrote: 2 To help protect y our priv acy , Micro so ft Office prev ented auto matic download of this pictu re from the In ternet. wrote: On Thu, Mar 25, 2021 at 5:33 AM Mary Reed Hi Luis: I spoke with Aubrey yesterday after your meeting. He mentioned that he had told you that he thought that the exterior siding on 1104 Toyath was not original. However I am 99% sure that he is incorrect. I say that because there have been two Clarksville historic resource surveys done over the past 15 or so years -- one by the COA and one by a historic preservationist hired by the CCDC. In both cases, 1104 was classified as an intact historically contributing house. "Intact" means no alterations have been made to the exterior since the property was built. In other words, there is no new siding covering up old siding. However, what is there now could certainly be painted a new color/s. Also, I don't know if you have been inside, but from what I understand, the original wood floors remain. I know that Aubrey promised to share with you some addresses in the neighborhood where a modern addition was added on to the back of an old house. He and I talked about some of those addresses yesterday and I will share with him a few more that I thought of last night.
