City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission Wednesday, October 1, 2025 - 6:00 P.M. City Hall – Council Chambers 301 W. 2nd Street Austin, TX 78701 RE: Review Case No. GF 2025-094899 902 W Johanna St, Austin, TX 78704 To whom it may concern, Our client, Frances Nahas (FEN Holdings LLC), has reviewed the options of rehabilitation, adaptive reuse, material deconstruction, relocation and maintaining the front façade as encouraged by the Architectural Review Committee and, due to the existing structural state of the house and the surgical nature of these approaches, determined them to be cost prohibitive and in the case of relocation, infeasible. We, therefore, on behalf of our client, and after careful review, thought, and with respect for the encouragement of the ARC, we propose to move forward with demolition of the existing home at 902 W Johanna St, Austin, TX 78704 in preparation for a future new construction home.
