Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Case PR 25-008236 My name is Annell Bay, and I live at 4604 Ridge Oak Drive, Austin, TX, 78731. I am writing to express my support for the demolition of the residence at 4901 Ridge Oak Drive. This property has been vacant and unmaintained for at least the decade I have lived here. All in the neighborhood have observed the continued deterioration of the integrity of this abandoned structure. And now, a sudden claim for historical review AFTER the property was finally sold is both an unprofessional and improper process and grossly unfair to the new buyer. If this home is of such historical value, then why hasn’t it been designated so prior to now ? Perhaps if historic value of this property had been identified sooner, it would have been better maintained. At the very least, the long-term abandonment and deterioration of the integrity of the current property at 4901 Ridge Oak Drive should override an arbitrary and sudden new ruling of building requirements. I and many other neighbors welcome finally, the new ownership and investment in this long-neglected property. I urge you approve the demolition.

1412 PRESTON HISTORIC REVIEW General Standards – 1. Windows, doors, and screens The proposed project replaces historic-age windows that do not appear to be deteriorated beyond repair. Proposed window replacements at main and secondary elevations alter the window patterns, materials, opening sizes, and configurations. WINDOWS - The existing single-pane windows are a weak link in the building’s thermal envelope. Even with storm windows or weather-stripping, single panes cannot match the insulation of modern glazing. - The current windows are steel and single pane. The steel is corroded and cracked in all windows. - The glazing has deteriorated completely. The exposure to weather/rain/UV radiation gradually breaks down the glazing compounds leading to cracks, shrinkage, and loss of adhesion - The existing glass are cracked all in the same general areas. 1 CRACKINGSINGLE PANECRACKINGPULLING OFF THE FRAMING RUST AND CRACKINGON STEEL AND GLASS 1412 PRESTON HISTORIC REVIEW General Standards – - The expansion and contraction over time has led to the steel to pull away from the brick - Traditional glazing putty, often linseed oil-based, hardens and becomes brittle over time, making it prone to cracking and falling out. - Steel windows from the 1950s are extremely difficult to repair due to limited availability of materials and skilled labor. The cost of repair is prohibitive and exceeds the cost of replacement - The existing windows are sitting directly brick to window contact, no sheathing or insulation, as well as no - Rust and corrosion – As steel frames corrode, they expand, putting pressure on the glazing and causing it to fail flashing. or detach from the glass. 2 CRACKING, DIRECT BRICK TO WINDOW PLACEMENT , LEAKAGESTEEL HAS CRACKING, NO FLASHING, DIRECT WINDOW TO BRICK APPLICATION 1412 PRESTON HISTORIC REVIEW General Standards – Aluminum Clad replacements The design standards documentation notes that simple measures like weather-stripping and window film are the first line of defense , and we have evaluated those. However, given the persistent energy loss and comfort issues, we are proposing to replace the single panes with insulated (double-glazed) glass units. - We also evaluated the weather stripping and film will not solve the issue of the incorrect construction application - Air leakage and thermal retention:Replacing with Sierra Pacific Wood Aluminum Clad windows will drastically reduce air leakage and heat transfer while preserving the historic frames’ appearance. Notably, the City’s guidelines even suggest retrofitting historic windows with insulated, low-E glass when …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MARCH 5, 2025 HR-2025-014398 HYDE PARK LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT 4105 AVENUE G 5.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Reconstruct the front elevation and construct a second-story addition. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Rebuild the original design of the front porch, including restoration of windows, siding, and porch finishes. 2) Replace deteriorated or missing siding on all elevations. 3) Construct a ground-floor addition at the rear right corner. 4) Construct a second-story addition, set back from the front of the original house. ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS The house at 4105 Avenue G is a single-story Craftsman-style building with a wide, deep front porch that is supported at the corners by two ample posts clad in stucco. The porch and stair accessing it are both concrete in construction, likely a replacement or earlier wood systems. Two large front windows, which appear to be original, face the street at the back of the porch. Above, a front gable projects forward and features a wide attic window it its center, which also includes some decorative ends supporting the fascia. The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. General Standards 1.2: Retention of Historic Style Proposed design retains the original style and seeks to rehabilitate damaged elements, but only at historic locations. 1.3: Avoidance of False Historicism After taking consideration of guidance offered by ARC, the additions feature elements that are compatible is scale and design to the historic, but do not reach the level of replication or false historicism. A visual break in the form of a setback breaks up the roof slope at the front of the house. 1.4: Appropriate Treatment Options for Contributing or Potentially Contributing Structures Intact historic material is proposed to be retained rather than replaced. Reconstructed elements, such as wood siding, is proposed to be from new material that generally matches size and dimensions of historic. 3. Residential Standards: Single Family and Contributing Multifamily – Preservation and Restoration 3.1 Front of Houses Historic approach and dimensions are to be retained; second-floor addition is proposed to be located over 15 feet from the front wall at the back of the porch. 3.5 Roofs The existing roof pitch is maintained, and a visual break between the original and the addition is clear and legible from the street. 3.6 Chimneys There is no …

Paul DeGroot, Architect 6202 Highland Hills Drive Austin, Texas 78731 Phone: 512 345 2228 To: Historic Landmark Commission & Architectural Review Committee Project: 4105 Avenue G Date: February 3, 2025 For your consideration we are submitting drawings that have been revised to according to the comments we received from the ARC in the January 15, 2025 meeting. The committee requests were as follows: 1. Differentiate the addition's exterior materials and features from those of the original historic home so that it is clear to distinguish what is existing and what is new. To accommodate this recommendation we have changed the window muntin patterns to a more modern design that is different from the original home, changed the siding material to modern Hardie plank lapped siding with vertical corner trim boards, and changed the roofing to standing seam metal instead of shingles like the original home's roof. 2. Preserve the original ridge line of the gable roof. To accommodate this we have kept the ridge where it exists today. All of the new second floor is located behind the original ridge. Thank you, Paul DeGroot, Architect Page 1 of 1
