Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Melanie Martinez Monday, July 4, 2022 9:23 PM HPD Preservation C.2. PR-2022-002404 – 1315 & 1317 Newning Ave Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Flagged *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Commissioners,   I live on the same block as the two homes at 1315 & 1317 Newning and I am opposed to their demolition. I have  particularly valued the unique architectural style of 1317, which I don't believe is repeated within our entire historic  district. It is a lingering transition from the Victorian Fairview Park to the Craftsman and Revival styles of the new  century in Travis Heights. I can appreciate the owner's desire to build a big family home there but I wish they could  reconsider their plans to demolish or remove 1317, at least! I'm sure a good designer could find a way to add to that in a  tasteful way while allowing new construction to suit a modern family. Please discourage removing this valuable  contributing property from Fairview Park. The homes of this period are so endangered in Austin.  Thank you,  Melanie Martinez  CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.
