We received a notice of public hearing for an application for a demolition permit for 512 East Monroe St. while we were out of town January 16‐19, and I didn’t see it until Thursday the 20th. I don’t understand how the City of Austin could give less than one week notice before a public hearing for a demolition. I have made several attempts to find information about this proposed demolition at https://abc.austintexas.gov/web/permit/public‐search‐other using the case numbers listed in the notice (PR‐2021‐ 200516; GF 22‐001167), but it only returns the answer “No rows returned.” The sign announcing the public hearing was not posted on the property, as it was laying on the ground in the front yard when I went by to look on Thursday the 20th (see attached photo). This house is a good example of the architecture of the Travis Heights‐Fairview Park National Historic District. It is in very good condition and should be preserved as an important part of the neighborhood (see attached photo). I oppose the demolition of this valuable part of our historic neighborhood. Please contact me before the public hearing tomorrow night at 6:00. Thank you, Clifton Ladd 1509 Newning Avenue Please let me know if you have any information about this. ‐‐‐‐ Clif Ladd 1
