I do object to the wholesale demolition of smaller homes to build multi‐story mansions, (definitely NOT affordable housing), which are out of scale with the neighborhood. Many trees would also be sacrificed in this location if the current structure is demolished. I received 3 different applications for demolition in this area alone this week.

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Frank Clark Tuesday, March 22, 2022 9:25 AM PAZ Preservation HR-22-016431 Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Flagged *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear commissioners, I’m in opposition to the demolition of 1803 Kenwood Ave. The house is a beautiful example of a 1938 home and has stood here for 84 years. It is essential to the historic fabric of this historic community. There are many others who have decided to maintain the historic nature of their homes by adding to their needs. Its a very common practice! Individual rights do not supersede the community at large. We have designated Travis Heights worthy of a National Historic district for a reason. Anyone who is going to make an investment in our community should understand the need to maintain the intrinsic nature of the homes here and the long term value. Demolishing charming homes might pay off for speculators in the short term but at a cost to our community with irrevocable loss. Thank you for your time.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MARCH 28, 2022 HR-2022-021264 OLD WEST AUSTIN 1702 HARTFORD ROAD C.4 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a new building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS DESIGN STANDARDS The proposed new building is a modular structure, two stories in height, atop raised piers. It has a compound gabled and flat roof, with a flat-roofed entry porch. Fenestration includes fixed undivided windows with irregular placement throughout and fully glazed sliders and entry doors. It is clad in horizontal wood siding, 4’x4’ fiber cement panels, and corrugated metal. The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed new building is set back approximately 26’, consistent with surrounding buildings. 2. Orientation The proposed building is oriented toward the street. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed building’s two-story height is generally taller than the surrounding contributing buildings, and its somewhat monolithic massing may impact compatibility with the rest of the district. 4. Proportions The proposed new building’s proportions are not compatible with surrounding contributing buildings. 5. Design and style While the proposed building’s details are consistent with its styling and it is sufficiently differentiated from the historic buildings in the district, its fenestration patterns, cladding, and modular design contrast with its Tudor Revival neighbors. 6. Roofs The proposed gabled roofline appears mostly compatible, though the flat portions of the roof are largely incompatible. 7. Exterior walls While the proposed horizontal siding is appropriate, the fiber cement paneling and vertical corrugated metal are not. 8. Windows and doors The proposed fenestration pattern and window configuration appear mostly incompatible. 9. Porches The proposed porch does not appear to reflect and continue the size, proportions, placement, depth, and rhythm of porches on contributing buildings within the district. Summary The project does not meet most of the applicable standards. PROPERTY EVALUATION The existing non-contributing building on the site was approved for demolition in 2022. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Comment on and release the new construction plans. LOCATION MAP C.4 – 2

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MARCH 28, 2022 HR-2022-019092 OLD WEST AUSTIN 3300 BEVERLY ROAD C.7 – 1 ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a one-story addition to the front and rear of a ca. 1941 house. Add a roof to the existing side porch. 1) Construct an addition to the front of the house. The gabled addition is clad in horizontal fiber cement siding and features 6:6 aluminum windows with divided lights. Gable ends feature vents and board-and-batten details to match the existing gable. 2) Construct a rear addition to match the existing house and front addition. The proposed addition is one story in height and contains 6:6 sash and multilight casement windows. Its gabled roof will match the pitch of the front addition. 3) Cover the existing side porch with a composition shingle roof. One-story Minimal Traditional house with cross-gabled plan, horizontal wood siding, and partial-width inset covered porch. The original wood windows were replaced in 2009 per permits. The house at 3300 Beverly Road was constructed in 1941 for Alfred C. Riba and his family. Riba worked as a schoolteacher before becoming a chemist and bacteriologist at the Health Department in 1942. Alfred and Mary Lou Riba lived at 3300 Beverly Road until his death in 1966. The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential additions 1. Location The proposed rear addition is sited appropriately, but the front addition does not meet the design standards. 2. Scale, massing, and height The proposed project appears appropriate in scale, massing, and height. 3. Design and style The proposed design and style is compatible with the existing historic building; however, it may not be adequately differentiated from the existing house. 4. Roofs The proposed project’s roof pitch, height, and materials appear appropriate. 5. Exterior walls Proposed cladding is compatible with the existing house and district, though gable-end detailing may impede appropriate differentiation from historic fabric. 6. Windows, screens, and doors The proposed aluminum divided-light windows are compatible with the house and district. 7. Porches and decks The proposed side-porch addition appears mostly compatible. 8. Chimneys The proposed project removes a historic-age chimney. C.7 – 2 Summary The project meets some applicable standards. PROPERTY …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MARCH 28, 2022 HR-2022-022699 TRAVIS HEIGHTS -FAIRVIEW PARK 406 E. ANNIE STREET C.8 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish a noncontributing building and construct a new building in its place. Construct a new studio. 1) Demolish existing noncontributing building. 2) Construct a new primary building on existing footprint, retaining existing stone retaining walls in front yard. The proposed new residence is clad in stucco, vertical cedar siding, horizontal lap siding, and stone. It is three stories in height, with a roof deck and balconies enclosed by metal guardrails. Fenestration is irregular throughout, with fixed undivided windows and full-height fully glazed sliders. It has a compound roofline with gabled and flat elements clad in standing-seam metal. 3) Construct a detached one-story studio building in front of the primary building. The proposed studio features a shed and hipped roof clad in standing-seam metal. It has stucco siding, lap siding, and vertical cedar siding. Fenestration matches the primary building. DESIGN STANDARDS The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed primary building is set back significantly, as it occupies the footprint of the existing noncontributing structure. The proposed accessory building is set back 25’, consistent with other buildings in the neighborhood. 2. Orientation Both buildings are oriented toward the primary street. 3. Scale, Massing, and Height and 4. Proportions The proposed primary building’s height, proportions, complex massing, and floor-to-floor heights are not compatible with the district; however, its placement on the lot should minimize its visual impact. The proposed accessory building is not subordinate to the primary building due to its placement on the lot, though it is somewhat more compatible in scale and proportion. 5. Design and Style While both proposed buildings are stylistically consistent and differentiated from the historic buildings in the district, neither are compatible with the character of the district. 6. Roofs The compound shed roof at the secondary structure, most visible from the street, is more compatible than the complex roof form of the primary building, which is not compatible with the district. 7. Exterior Walls While some of the buildings’ siding materials are appropriate for the district, the application of all siding …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MARCH 28, 2022 HR-2022-026102 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 1205 ALTA VISTA AVENUE C.9 – 1 Demolish existing two-story duplex and secondary building and construct a new three-story single-family house. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS 1) Demolish existing house and rear garage apartment. 2) Construct a three-story house. The proposed building is flat-roofed and clad in stucco, board-and-batten, tongue-and- groove siding, and cedar slats. Fenestration includes fixed undivided windows and casement windows with irregular spacing, proportions, and orientation throughout; a front-facing garage; and sliding glass doors. The primary building at 1205 Alta Vista Avenue is a two-story cross-gabled duplex with horizontal siding, 6:6 wood windows, arched six-light accent windows, and composition shingle roof. 1205 Alta Vista Avenue was constructed around 1939 for Mary G. Sanders, along with a garage.1 A rear dwelling unit was constructed later. It appears to have been constructed as a duplex, and mostly housed two families in the main building and one in the rear unit. Renters were largely short-term and included a cattle buyer, a meat inspector, a bookkeepers, students, and oil company employees. The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed new building is set back approximately 25’, in line with historic-age buildings on the street. 2. Orientation The proposed new building’s orientation is consistent with the predominant orientation of contributing buildings on the same block. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed new building is three stories, while nearby contributing buildings are one and two stories; its floor-to-floor and foundation height does not appear consistent with nearby contributing buildings. Its monolithic massing is not compatible with the district. 4. Proportions The proposed building’s proportions are not compatible with those of contributing buildings on the block. 5. Design and style The proposed building is differentiated from historic buildings and its details are consistent with its style, but its overall design is at odds with the historic district in terms of scale, massing, proportions, patterns, and some materials. 1 "Real Estate Transaction 1 -- no Title."
