Sturgill, Hunter From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Vickie Schubert Monday, December 1, 2025 4:05 PM Historic Preservation Office GF2025-121036 Demo permit 2821 Salado St (followup) You don't often get email from Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Good afternoon. Prior to your meeting of December 3 I wanted to provide a follow-up to my previous email of November 14 in further support of demolition of the property at 2821 Salado. As of the time of my last email, the owner had just boarded up the house because an unhinged homeless man had taken up residence in the property and was yelling, breaking windows and who know what else in the house. It was a very uncomfortable and possibly dangerous situation to which the owner responded. In the two weeks since then, it has become a target of taggers (photos attached). They continue to visit the property and add more tags every several days. Finally today, I noticed the boarding over the back door has been torn off so either another homeless person has take up residence or the house is being scavenged for things like copper wire or both. In either case it has become a dangerous property to live next to and the costs of any sort of rehabilitation grow by the week. The developer met with Shoal Creek Neighborhood Association on November 17. The association decided to take no action to either support or oppose the project. I am urging and pleading with the Commission to take up this matter at the meeting of December 3 and approve the demolition so some positive progress can be made at the property. Thank you.
