From: Cc: Subject: Date: Allen, Amber Objections, 2/28/2022 Monday, February 21, 2022 1:09:57 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Liaison, Chair and Vice Chair of the Landmark Preservation Commission, I reside within the Travis Heights Fairview Park National Historic District. These applicants are aware of the significance of the neighborhood and property or their cases would not be coming before the Historic Landmark Commission. I have been active in the neighborhood although I am not aware of the any of below applicants contacting or presenting to the membership of the South River City Citizens Neighborhood Association, the organization that supported the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Historic District, or the Historic Preservation Committee that successfully applied for the designation. Until these properties are fully documented and archived at the Austin History Center, I object to the demolition of the following agenda items and cases in the Travis Heights-Fairview Historic District being heard by the Historic Landmarks Commission at the 2/28/2022 meeting: C.1. 804 Rutherford Place – Travis Heights – Fairview Park National Register District – DEMOLISH a contributing building and build new construction (postponed January 24, 2022) C.2. 512 E. Monroe Street – Travis Heights – Fairview Park National Register District – DEMOLISH a contributing house and build new construction (postponed January 24, 2022) C.8. 700 E. Monroe Street – Travis Heights – Fairview Park National Register District – DEMOLISH a contributing building and build new construction C.9. 1505 Alameda Drive - Travis Heights – Fairview Park National Register District – DEMOLISH a contributing building and build new construction C.10. 1803 Kenwood Avenue - Travis Heights – Fairview Park National Register District – DEMOLISH a contributing building and build new construction C.11. 1315 & 1317 Newning Avenue - Travis Heights – Fairview Park National Register District – DEMOLISH a contributing building As you may be aware from earlier correspondence, several houses in the Sherwood Oaks subdivision were recently demolished without a hearing although the properties met the requirements of being more the 50 years old and having noteworthy occupants and hosting events of historic significance. Moving forward, how can our community do better to engage and recognize the importance of our shared mission?
