Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Frank Clark Tuesday, March 22, 2022 9:25 AM PAZ Preservation HR-22-016431 Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Flagged *** External Email - Exercise Caution ***   Dear commissioners,     I’m in opposition to the demolition of 1803 Kenwood Ave. The house is a beautiful example of a 1938 home and has  stood here for 84 years. It is essential to the historic fabric of this historic community.     There are many others who have decided to maintain the historic nature of their homes by adding to their needs. Its a  very common practice!     Individual rights do not supersede the community at large. We have designated Travis Heights worthy of a National  Historic district for a reason. Anyone who is going to make an investment in our community should understand the need  to maintain the intrinsic nature of the homes here and the long term value. Demolishing charming homes might pay off  for speculators in the short term but at a cost to our community with irrevocable loss.     Thank you for your time.     Regards,     Frank Clark  CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.
