March 24, 2026 Kalan Contreras Principal Planner, Historic Preservation Office Austin Planning Dear Ms. Contreras, Here are responses to your questions: Q1: Will the existing window screens remain on the windows? It’s a little hard to tell in the photos, but it looks like there are currently exterior storm screens installed. Response: No. The windows will be replaced, including the screens. Q2: Will window openings at the main elevation change in size at all? Response: Yes. Two windows will be added to the living room, beside the existing two windows, matching the same size and proportion. Additionally, two windows at the dormer will be replaced with three. Q3: Will the height of the existing dormers change to accommodate the new windows? Response: No. Q4: Are there historic photos of the building showing a precedent for the tile roof? Response: Unknown. We could not find historic photos of the building. Q5: Could you please provide a close-up of the existing door and sidelight/transom? It’s a little hard to see in the photos provided on the plans. Response: Yes. See attached photo. Q6: Do you know when the existing trim was installed? (I’m assuming it was back in 2010ish when the front bay window was modified, but it will help to know if the trim appears older that that.) Response: No. Q7: Is the chimney to be removed entirely? Response: Yes. Q8: Can you include images of the proposed fence and gate to be installed? Response: No. The fence and gate have not yet been designed.
