HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS AUGUST 3, 2022 HR-2022-105301 CASTLE HILL HISTORIC DISTRICT 1124/1122-1126 W. 6TH STREET 8 – 1 PROPOSAL Deconstruct the building, reconstruct the façade, and construct a new multi-story mixed-use building beyond. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Completely deconstruct existing contributing building. 2) Reconstruct the building façade. Approximately 23% of the original building will remain, with street-facing fenestration patterns unaltered. 3) Construct a new multi-story building beyond and directly atop the reconstructed façade. The proposed second floor will replicate the fenestration pattern and existing roofline at the first floor. Proposed new windows are fixed and undivided. The third and fourth floors are set back from the parapet and appear to be constructed of light-colored brick and fixed glazing, with flat roofs of variable height. ARCHITECTURE One-story Spanish Colonial Revival commercial building, originally with three tenant spaces demarcated by transom door- and-window combinations at each bay. Larger divided transoms appear above each fenestration unit. The building is clad in horizontal siding and is capped with a terra cotta tile shed roof, above which the parapet extends at each end of the building. DESIGN STANDARDS The Castle Hill Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: A.1. GENERAL DISTRICT STANDARDS (a) Repair, rather than replace, original materials. Replace only materials that are deteriorated beyond repair or that detract from and are not original to the building. Replacement materials shall match the original materials when feasible. The proposed project entirely deconstructs the existing building, leaving the façade only. It replaces character-defining divided transoms with undivided fixed glazing and replaces the terra cotta roof with another material. (b) Do not make changes to the public view of an existing contributing or non-contributing building that have no historic basis and/or that seek to create the appearance of an architectural style that is not original to the existing building. The proposed project replicates the first floor and existing roofline at a new second story. (c) Use best efforts to utilize photographic or physical evidence when reconstructing original historic details. The proposed project appropriately reconstructs the existing façade, except for the glazing and roofline. C.1. REHABILITATION OR ALTERATION OF CONTRIBUTING BUILDINGS (a) Maintain the historic style and retain character-defining features. (c) Repair existing original windows unless determined infeasible due to excessive deterioration that is adequately documented in the application for a …

Attachment to Historic Review Application for: 1110, 1112, 1114, 1116, 1118-20, 1122-24 W 6th Street Castle Hill Local Historic District / West Line National Historic District The application under review is related to a proposed redevelopment of the above listed properties. The development is a moderately dense mix of various commercial and residential uses, stacked vertically. The building mass decreases with each level. Towards the perimeter of the proposed building, and specifically towards W 6th Street, the development maintains a 2-story frontage, stepping back the upper levels. This creates a continuous and respectful elevation which seamlessly integrates with the existing buildings and restores the historic urban fabric of W 6th Street. There is a conscious decision not to maximize the available height based on zoning allowances, which would overpower and dominate the existing buildings. The idea of historic preservation as related to this proposal is not just about preserving the two contributing structures on the site, but to also develop the surrounding structure in a respectful way which emphasizes and strengthens the character and feel of the neighborhood. Similarly, the proposed material composition, which is very much in development, will pay homage to the Clarksville neighborhood traditions and history. The architectural elements which make up the façade proposal are very much rooted in local vocabulary. All this in order to integrate into the existing context, respect the beautiful existing buildings not just on site but those in the vicinity, and root the project in the traditions of the place and its history.

HISTORICITY ANALYSIS 1100 Block W 6th Street October 11, 2021 Prepared for Clarks Village, LP 1601 Miriam Ave #306 | Austin, TX 78702 | 512-970-4706 | jlaycock10@gmail.com October 11, 2021 Mr. Barrett Lepore Clarks Village, LP RE: 1100 Block W 6th Barrett, I have reviewed the properties referenced above, from 1110 W 6th to 1130 W 6th, as well as 605 Blanco and 607 Blanco Street. In general, they are typically of a pre-WWII streetcar development pattern, with a mix of bungalows and small, neighborhood serving stores. Only one of the properties appears to be historically significant in its own right; however, according to the city of Austin every property except for Z Tejas and Swedish Hill is considered contributing to a historic district, which means any alteration will require historic landmark review. That said, the information and conclusions in this report are made upon my experience with the city and informed by the resources available. I hope that this information will prove useful to you. After your review I look forward to discussing it with you further. If you have any questions or desire further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

The study area contains 10 principal buildings and on 6 parcels. The buildings range in age from 1895 (1114 W 6th) to 1995 (1120 W 6th). This block was historically a mix of residential and commercial buildings, including live/work buildings with a residence above the store. For instance, from 1927 to 1944, 1116 W 6th street, formerly Fortney’s, was home to Alex Fischer Grocery, with Alex Fischer and his wife living in the residence …

Equity Considerations in Contracts and Program Funding Historic Landmark Commission August 3, 2022 Neal Falgoust, Assistant City Attorney Purpose • Discuss legal risks associated with using race, gender and protected-class criteria in determining awards of contracts and program funding. 2 Why Now? • Recent federal court decisions that put race-focused programs at risk. • Law Department deliberative process. • Briefing to City Council. 3 Acknowledgement • History of intentional racial segregation – 1928 Master Plan and “Negro District.” • Oppression of BIPOC – 1954 Federal Housing Act, “urban renewal,” and seizing of Black-owned land. • City Council has committed the City to correcting its racist practices. (Resolution 20210304-067) 4 City’s Programs • As part of Project Connect, community members developed displacement mitigation strategies and an equity tool to guide decision making. (“Nothing About Us Without Us”) • EDD also wants an equity focus for the Cultural Arts and Heritage Tourism grant programs. 5 Legal Foundation • 14th Amendment – Equal Protection Clause • No government may “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” 6 “Tiered Scrutiny” • Strict Scrutiny (Race, National Origin, Religion, Alienage) – Government must demonstrate the policy is narrowly tailored to meet a compelling purpose. • Intermediate Scrutiny (Gender, Sex, Sexual Orientation?) – Government must demonstrate the policy is substantially related to an important purpose. • Rational Basis (Age, Disability, Wealth, Felony Status) – The policy must have a rational connection to a legitimate interest. 7 Strict Scrutiny Any government program that takes race into consideration faces strict scrutiny by the courts. Strict scrutiny is the most rigorous judicial review. Courts start with presumption that policy is invalid and government must prove its interests. 8 Compelling Government Interest The government must demonstrate: • actual discrimination in the relevant market, and • that the government either actively or passively perpetuated the discrimination. 9 Narrowly Tailored The government must demonstrate: • it considered other race-neutral policies; • race-neutral policies failed to achieve the compelling interest. 10 City of Richmond v. J.A. Croson Co. • “Generalized assertions” of past racial discrimination would not justify “rigid” quotas; • 30 percent quota could not be connected to “any injury suffered by anyone;” • Race-neutral measures must be seriously considered. 11 Evidence Acceptable to a Court Disparity studies are conducted to determine if there is discrimination in the studied market and if the government is an active …

I'll be at the meeting tomorrow to speak. Other tenants might possibly speak, too, though a number of them have multiple jobs and could find it difficult to attend. Attached are a couple photos of what the topmost window in my apartment looks like now. I've also attached a video of when they broke the window (when they were hammering siding all day long onto this side of the building). I was recording the noise from them hammering the siding, and I happened to capture video of them actually breaking the window. (I was "lucky," because in another apartment, when they broke the window it shattered into the apartment and onto the tenant's table while he was there.) The contractors were going into apartments today to stuff these windows with insulation and cover them "permanently" from the inside. I will not be allowing them in my unit. Also, we were not given notice about this, and they have been using keys provided to them by management--they even covered the neighbor's security camera when they went in to do the "work" in her absence. I have something written to share with the Commission, which I'll send along later. Thank you for your help, Jackie CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

My name is Jackie Doyle, I live at 3107 Speedway, Apt. 202, one of the sixteen apartments at this address. I am chagrined to learn that this property’s developer/owner/landlord (Amir Kalantari) defied the Historic Landmark Commission and undertook the demolition/construction work at this address before the Commission could hold this hearing, notice of which I received only last week. Along with a number of other residents, I started reporting the extreme noise and hazardous conditions caused by the demolition and construction activities at this complex to Code Compliance in early June. The Code inspector informed us that there was no building permit, and he came to the property on numerous occasions, documented violations, and told the crews to stop work—which they nevertheless resumed when he was not there. A number of tenants, including myself, started taking photos and videos of the work and hazardous conditions. While this developer (Amir Kalantari), apparently contemptuous of the Commission’s and the City’s authority, clearly views the process of securing a permit as a bureaucratic inconvenience, his tenants have very painfully experienced how un-permitted, unregulated, and unmonitored demolition and construction activities cause havoc, creating very dangerous conditions at an occupied property and destroying the unique, defining characteristics of a building. In June, the Code inspector sent (to the name and address on file) a certified letter concerning this un-permitted work; the building permit application gave only “Parker at Hyde Park LLC” as the name, and a PO box as the owner’s address. The name of the owner/developer/landlord is Amir Kalantari, and he continued to have the contractors perform the work. The Code inspector spoke directly with Amir’s representative, Solé, telling her the work must stop; at one point, she deceitfully attempted to pass off an old permit as current. This work did not involve any repairs whatsoever. None of the work was necessary. It did not represent an improvement in any way, shape, or form. In fact, the construction activities themselves made the property dangerous for everyone: there was debris strewn everywhere, including large blades for cutting metal; welding work was undertaken right outside our doors, leaving us exposed to potentially blinding welding arcs when we came out of our apartments; stairways and breezeways were often blocked in both directions, forcing us to maneuver around workers metal railings were being cut all day (for many days) right outside our doors—the excruciatingly painful noise made it …
Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: M Shuman Tuesday, August 2, 2022 10:10 PM HPD Preservation 1514 Newton Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Flagged *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Hello, I would like to speak against the demolition of 1514 Newton. I live next door ( 15 feet from our bedroom) and am very worried about the demolition as my wife is sick with major cancer and undergoing chemo at the moment. I realize I missed the noon deadline to speak remotely but I hope you can make an exception as she is immuno compromised and I am not going in public at the moment. There are several other reasons I oppose this demo and I would like the opportunity to share them with the commission. Thank you for any help you can offer.

PR-2022-064526 Proposed Demolition of 1514 Newton. To : Historic Preservation Office I am writing to voice my opposition to the proposed demolition of 1514 Newton St. I am asking the commission to please consider a postponement or deny the request for the following reasons. I have a very big concern about the developer rushing into this demolition. This house is 15 feet away from our house and my wife has a serious health condition and we are concerned about asbestos and lead paint dust (among other contaminants) coming over to our property next door. We already had dust this week from a house torn down 150 feet from where we live. If demolition is the only option, I would like time to discuss this with the developer and develop a plan of action to contain the potential hazards to our health. I believe that the developer should consider saving the existing house, which was constructed by the same person (Mr. Polvado) who built our house next door in 1920. He was the uncle of the woman (Dorothy Polvado) who we purchased our house from in 2003 and lived here her entire life. I would like more time to research the historical significance of Mr. Polvado’s life and the construction of these two historical housed. The house at 1514 was updated in period style circa 2006 by local architects Michelle and Eric Van Hyte who are current Austin residents. I would like the developer to consider preserving the current house and possibly adding an ADU in the back, as opposed to erasing the history of our neighborhood. When we remodeled our house next door in 2009, we retained the historic look and feel of the neighborhood. I recently visited another property the 1514 developer is developing and I am concerned about the height of the building he built on it. If that is the intention here, I hope he will consider what is next door when designing the new building. (Please see photos on page 2) I also have a concern about 110 year old pecan trees, which we share as neighbors. There are a couple that hang over my house that the base of the tree is on the border of 1514 Newton and my fence line. Our intersection (Newton & Monroe) is one of the last areas with multiple historic style bungalows, which have been preserved by their respective …
