Sturgill, Hunter From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Dear Mr. Sturgill, Ora Houston Tuesday, December 2, 2025 9:49 AM Historic Preservation Office 2406 E. Martin Luther King, Jr., Blvd. - Case # - PR-2025-144142; GF 2025-144858 External Email - Exercise Caution I am Ms. Ora Houston and I own property at 1902 Maple Avenue, 78722, Lot 8 Washington Subdivision. Am requesting that the Historic Landmark Commission grant a postponement regarding the Certificate of Appropriateness for the above referenced Case number. The applicant, Dmitriy Dubrovsky has not been in contact with nor has had any conversations with anyone in the Rogers Washington Holy Cross Historic District! Rogers Washington Holy Cross will probably be the only Historic District possible within the six square mile boundaries of the African American Cultural Heritage District. That will be because of the stringent requirements imposed by the State Representative and State Senator who were elected to 'represent not repress' the people of the District. It is unthinkable that this Case would go forward without the Applicant having no conversations with the people in the District in order to have an understand of what can and can not be deconstructed and/or constructed on the site. How disrespectful of the history of citizens of Austin whose structures are continuing examples of how beautiful, creative, engaged and resourceful they were throughout this community, City and State. Please grant a postponement until those conversation(s) can be held! Respectfully, Ms. Ora Houston 2207 E. 22nd Street 512-472-2951 “Service is the rent we pay for the privilege of living on this earth. It is the very purpose of life, not something you do in your spare time.” - The Honorable Shirley Chisholm 1 CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email.
