Johanna St While the public commission meeting is scheduled for the 14th it would appear that some demolition has already begun in the front yard area. Further, the back gate has been left disabled and open, as is the back door of the property. As close neighbors to the property we have concerns about this landmark craftsman being demolished, and the apparent haste with which the demo company and or the new property owners are treating the house and land prior to the hearing. Leaving the home accessible while obviously vacant is a concern for our neighborhood which already sees an increase in theft and burglary. Beginning to announce the demolition, and in fact appearing to have begun the work prior to a proper hearing is in the least, disrespectful of the neighborhood and neighbors. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Eric Matthies ‐ The universe is ceaselessly creative. ‐ CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.
