Sturgill, Hunter From: Sent: To: Subject: Sarah Arvey Sunday, March 29, 2026 6:17 PM Historic Preservation Office Oppose PR-2026-022411 You don't often get email from Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Mr. Sturgill, I'm writing to oppose the demolition of 1406 Garden St, Austin TX 78702 (Case number PR-2026-022411). As a neighbor in the East Cesar Chavez (ECC) neighborhood since 2011, I have witnessed countless historically significant homes be demolished and replaced by large-scale multiple residential units that are quickly turned into Short Term Rentals or that sit unoccupied for reasons unknown. Neighborhoods should be made up of people who live there and who care about the community in which they live. ECC has gone through tumult over decades and is currently being torn up by the I36 freeway and the glut of STRs. Please do not let yet another house of historical significance be torn down. And please do not let it be given to developers who only keep one wall and demolish the rest (i.e.Cenote). Please confirm receipt and keep me apprised of this case. Thank you, Sarah -- ********************************* Sarah R. Arvey, PhD CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email. Please use caution when clicking links or opening attachments.
