Per TCAD the property taxes on these properties rose several thousand dollars from 2020-2021. The appraised improvement values more than doubled on these vintage rental homes. The high tax rate is forcing moderate-income out of our neighborhood. Please consider giving landlords a break on taxes so that they're not forced to sell. Please educate investors and real estate agents about tax breaks for preservation for income-producing properties. Hurry! we are losing many households each month!

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 HR-2022-016431; PR 2022-002618 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 1803 KENWOOD AVE C.10. 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish a circa 1937 single-story residence and replace it with a new construction single-family residence. 1) Total demolition of existing contributing single-family residence built-in 1937. 2) Construction of new single-family residence with in-ground pool in rear, garage, and carport. The proposed primary building is a two-story minimalist style. It features a compound roofline, fixed-pane, and casement full-light fenestration in irregular pattern; dark grey brick on the first story and light-colored exterior stucco cladding on the slightly overhanging second story. The rear second-story elevation has a small rear balcony with a horizontal metal railing overlooking the pool. Designs indicate a side entry garage and direct neighboring carport located in front of the residence. A horizontal wood fence is situated directly in front of the carport, which shields the carport and garage from direct view from the street. The roofline was changed to a front-gabled form after meeting with the Architecture Review Committee on March 18, 2022. The windows were changed to a regular fenestration pattern on the front façade, a small covered front porch and additional brick were also added to the primary facade, and the wood fence and garage were removed. The carport was turned to face the street directly. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Wood frame, single-story, residential construction on pier and beam foundation. The structure is of the Minimal Traditional style with a side gable with a front-facing cross gable design. It is typical of Minimal Traditional design with horizontal wood siding, two sets of symmetrical multi-pane, 6:6 wood windows flanked by slim, simple shutters. There is a small, round gable vent in the front-facing gable façade. The single door entry has a concrete landing and is covered with a wooden awning supported by decorative wooden brackets. The awning is a continuation of the asphalt roof. There is a thin, slightly turned metal balustrade and railing on the front concrete steps and landing. 1803 Kenwood Avenue was likely built by the prominent dentist and civic activist Dr. R.L. Struhall in 1937. Dr. Struhall and his wife Lillian Parma had moved to 1805 Kenwood by 1942. According to City Directories, in 1941, 1803, Kenwood was owned by Raymond W., Jr. and his wife, Marjorie M. Ramsey. Raymond was employed at the R & R Service Station, …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MARCH 28, 2022 PR 2022-023217; GF 2022-028967 1202 E. 6TH STREET D.2 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE Demolish a circa 1940 single-family residential structure. 1202 E. 6Th Street is a one-story stucco bungalow with a front gable roof and Craftsman reminiscent style. It has a full-width porch, and four tapered, square columns support the low pitched roof. The roof has an unenclosed overhang. It has a centrally placed door surrounded by two window assemblies each composed of two 1:1 windows. All windows appear to be 1:1 vinyl replacement windows with the lower sash covered by metal protection bars. According to City Directory records, this is likely a rear unit, often referred to as a back house. Back houses are single‐family residences located behind a main house, typically at the rear of the lot. While most back houses open onto the alley and allow for parking along the alleyway, some houses only provide access from the main street, forcing the occupant to pass by the main house in order to reach the back house. Backhouses served multiple purposes, including lodging for servants or as rental property to bring in extra income. There is an additional entrance door on the East elevation with alley access. The addition of a stucco veneer, and a fenced front lawn that some may consider to simulate the feel of the traditional Hispanic courtyard house plan could be interpreted as an example of how the Mexican American aesthetic was applied to the Craftsman Bungalow in East Austin, and provides a historical narrative of the neighborhood. RESEARCH The primary house at 1202 E. 6Th Street was built circa 19041. Its first occupant was Samual W. Scott, a laborer who lived in the home until 1912. Then Edwin C. and Ethel Overstreet rented the home for approximately five years from 1920-to 1925. Edwin and Ethel were listed as plasterers in the City Directory. George H. and Barbara E. Theilen, proprietors of East Austin Bakery, lived in the house in 1927. Their bakery was one of many to operate out of the historic Clements Market/The Sport Bar building next door at 1200 E. 6th Street2. After this time, the house was a popular home for renters in the service industry: such as tailor Romulo and his wife Blasa Santa Ana, watchmaker Jose and Josephine Siliceo; barber Jesus and Marie Castillo, Maria Gomez, a maid, …

March 27, 2022 Historic Landmark Commission City of Austin Permitting and Development Center 6310 Wilhelmina Delco Dr, Room 1405 Austin, TX 78752 Re: Budget recommendation for Phase 2 of Equity-Based Historic Preservation Plan Dear Chair Myers, Vice Chair Heimsath, and members of the Historic Landmark Commission, Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. As our city’s leading nonprofit voice for historic preservation since 1953, we rely on effective collaboration with members of the Historic Landmark Commission (HLC), the City of Austin, and the Historic Preservation Office (HPO) for our success. We are grateful to you for your service and dedication to the City of Austin. Austin faces unprecedented challenges, as the vibrant economy and real estate market are creating dramatic changes in neighborhoods and unique pressures in the housing market, including affordability, displacement, and gentrification. These problems have been exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic, which has disrupted the lives of so many in so many ways. The necessity to continue the work of Equity-Based Historic Preservation Plan has never been greater. We thus support the HLC’s recommendation to City Council to fund Phase 2 of the Equity-Based Historic Preservation Plan, and to fund a permanent HPO staff position to manage Phase 2 and coordinate implementation of the Preservation Plan after its adoption. As the HLC has noted, these resources are essential to engage the community in the preservation planning process, set equitable priorities for historic preservation policy, and better meet the City of Austin’s responsibilities to promote and preserve its character and history. The community engagement focus of Phase 2 is an essential part of the process as the working group continues to seek answers to the questions posed in its foundation. These include whose heritage is represented in designated historic properties; what stories are missing; who benefits from preservation policies, programs, and incentives; and how historic preservation tools can be expanded to address the issues of sustainability, affordability, and displacement. Preservation Austin is deeply committed to this process, with staff (Meghan King, our Programs and Outreach Planner) and two board members (Linda Jackson and Alyson McGee) participating on the working group. As the community engagement phase of the Plan unfolds, they and other members of the working group will continue to offer diverse preservation perspectives in a collaboration that successfully reflects the diversity of Austin. The group is …
Art In Public Places Program: City of Austin’s Artwork Donation and Loan Process H I S TO R I C L A N D M A R K S C O M M I S S I O N M A R C H 2 8 , 2 0 2 2 FRANK WICK – SR. COLLECTION MANAGER Quick Introduction: Artwork Donation* City of Austin Artwork Acquisition Policy (2008) • Artwork Loans and donations are * similar enough in process to use the donation term here. My hope is to clarify rather than take a deep dive into our terminology. • An artwork loan is limited to 5 years with an option to renew once for another 5 years. For our purposes the two are identical. Artwork Donation and Loan Process: Donor completes and submits an Artwork Donation Application with proposed locations and artwork images to the AIPP Collection Manager, me. If the project isn’t deemed artwork the Donor will not proceed with AIPP involvement. The Collection Manager will identify who they should work with. AIPP often receives proposals for signage and place- making. Place making can be: arches, safety and health communications as well as calling-out or identifying a significant location for visitors and community. If deemed artwork AIPP will facilitate the COA Artwork Donation Process – This can be fairly rigorous. I work with stakeholders and COA User Departments such as Public Works, Parks & Recreation. Expectations of the donor to ensure public input and community support. Past Artwork Donations have included Historic Preservation and Historic Landmarks Commission. The Leslie Cochran memorial being the most notable. FYI: Historic Landmarks Commission will receive the proposal through Historic Preservation. You’d review a proposal and your vote will be for “appropriateness’. Your job isn’t to approve an artwork but is a means of providing Arts Commission critical feedback on your review of that artwork. I can’t imagine a scenario where AC would accept something HLC didn’t support. Arts Commission would not vote on a place making object, only artwork. • With a folder of information Artwork Donations will be reviewed and voted on by Arts Commission. At that point the donor can proceed. The User Department will work with them on future plans for installation. AIPP will work with the Donor at completion and for repairs and maintenance for the life of the artwork. • • • • • Reconnecting With HLC …
