Patch siding where window openings are removed. Two original windows will be salvaged from the east elevation and reinstalled on the south elevation. 2) Construct a rear addition and deck. The proposed addition is clad in stained cedar shingle siding and horizontal fiber cement siding. It is one story in height and is set back from the front of the house. Its roofline follows the existing gabled roof and includes two side-elevation skylights. Proposed new 1:1 windows are aluminum-clad wood, regularly spaced throughout, and fixed clerestory windows at rear above full-height sliders. 3) Replace existing shingle roof with standing-seam metal roof. 4) Demolish the existing garage and construct a new carport within the former garage’s footprint. The proposed carport is painted steel with stained wood roof. 5) Replace front door. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS Repairs and Alterations One-story house with partial-width gabled porch supported by boxed columns atop tapered river rock piers. The house’s cross-gabled roof is clad in shingles. It has horizontal wood siding at the façade’s gable end, with a combination of asbestos shingle siding and horizontal wood siding on the remainder of the house. It retains original single and paired 1:1 wood windows with historic-age screens. The house at 2109 Kenwood Avenue was constructed in 1945. Its first long-term occupants were James L. and Margaret Tarr, who moved in around 1948 from San Marcos. James L. Tarr was an executive district director with the Boy Scouts of America; later in his career, he became executive director for the nationwide organization. By 1953, the Tarrs had sold the home to the Straley family. James L. Straley was the credit manager for Bridges Furniture and an office administrator at the University of Texas, while Nancy Straley worked as a public school teacher and encyclopedia saleswoman.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-2021-130292 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1400 MOHLE DRIVE C.11 – 1 Demolish a contributing building and garage. PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story brick Tudor Revival house with cross-gabled roof, arched offset doorway, paired 1:1 windows with decorative screens, and concrete front stoop enclosed by metal railing. The house at 1400 Mohle Drive was built in 1939 for Elizabeth and Benjamin Tobin. The Tobins owned a barber and beauty shop, where they both worked; Benjamin Tobin ran the barbershop and Elizabeth Tobin operated the beauty salon. The shop was located first at 1138 San Jacinto, then at 113 East 21st Street. The Tobins occupied the home until at least 1973. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Old West Austin National Register Historic District. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high to moderate integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building displays Tudor Revival stylistic influences. b. Historical association. The property does not appear to have significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The property does not possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that contributes to the character, image, or cultural identity of the city, the neighborhood, or a particular demographic group. e. Landscape feature. The property is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Release the demolition application upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package. New construction in National Register Historic Districts must be evaluated by the Historic Landmark Commission prior to issuance of a demolition permit.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 HR-2021-136955 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1908 W. 33RD STREET C.12 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish a ca. 1949 duplex and garage and replace with new construction. 1) Demolish existing contributing house. 2) Construct new residence. The proposed building is two stories with a covered partial-width porch at the main elevation. It is clad in masonry and horizontal fiber cement siding with a metal roof and compound gabled and shed roofline. Fenestration includes divided multilight windows with varying configurations and fully glazed double entry doors with sidelights. A front-facing two-car garage is included at the easternmost bay of the main façade. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS One-story masonry and board-and-batten duplex with multi-light metal casement windows, a hipped roof, and partial-width covered porches at each entry. The duplex at 1908 W. 33rd Street was built by Billy McElroy in 1949. Early occupants included Eugene and Doris Dickens, co-owners of Dickens Brothers Cleaners; Air Force serviceman Albert Fell and his wife, Phyllis; and University of Texas students and faculty. 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 shares approximately the same location on the lot as the existing building. 2. Orientation The proposed new building is oriented toward the street. 3. Scale, massing, and height and 4. Proportions Most of the surrounding contributing buildings on the block are one-story Transitional Ranch homes, whose low horizontal forms and modest size are at odds with the proposed building’s scale, massing, height, and overall proportions. The proposed new building is strongly vertical, with compound massing and a complex roofline. 5. Design and style The proposed new building is differentiated from contributing properties by its use of modern cladding materials, modern fenestration patterns and materials, its two-story height, and its gabled standing-seam metal roof. It is somewhat compatible with surrounding buildings. 6. Roofs The proposed building’s compound metal roof is not compatible with the surrounding buildings’ shingle-clad hipped roofs with deep eaves or simple side-gabled roofs. 7. Exterior walls The proposed building’s exterior wall materials are mostly compatible, except for the irregular placement of horizontal fiber-cement siding accents. 8. Windows and doors …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 HR-2021-115725 CLARKSVILLE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1104 TOYATH STREET C.3 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a new residence with carport, pool, and roof deck. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) The proposed new building is 3 stories in height. It is clad in vertical fiber cement siding and capped with a metal roof. Fenestration includes single-hung and fixed windows and a horizontally glazed front door. A roof deck with horizontal metal railing sits atop the house, accessible by a spiral staircase at the side elevation; the staircase is partially enclosed by a transparent wood screen. Its full-width front porch is supported by boxed columns and the front and rear gables that comprise its compound roofline are accented by triangular knee braces. 2) Construct a deck and pool behind the main house. 3) Construct a retaining wall at the rear of the house. 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 building is set back approximately 25’. This property is adjacent to the Lawson House, a historic landmark, and proposed new construction may overpower it due to the height difference between the two buildings. 2. Orientation The proposed new building has a consistent orientation with the rest of the buildings on the block. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed new building is three stories plus a roof deck—much taller than the single-story contributing buildings on the block. However, due to the slope of the lot, the first floor is not visible from the street. Its complex massing is also at odds with the relatively simple contributing homes of Clarksville. 4. Proportions The proposed new building’s design is strongly vertical, which does not reflect the more horizontal proportions of the modest contributing houses on the block. 5. Design and style The proposed design is somewhat compatible in its inclusion of a front porch, its front-facing gables, its siding material, and its relatively rhythmic fenestration patterns. The decorative brackets added to the gables are not appropriate for its modern style. The building is less compatible in its scale, massing, and proportions; the rear portion of the house appears somewhat overpowering. 6. Roofs The gabled roofline …
From: Sent: To: Subject: Mary Reed Thursday, April 15, 2021 4:19 AM Luis Zaragoza Re: Clarifying something Aubrey told you yesterday Hi Luis: The CCDC board of directors has given me permission to send the members of the HLC and staff an email indicating that although our preference of course is for 1104 Toyath to be rehabilitated so that it can remain a contributing structure in the Clarksville NRHD, we will not oppose Pardisa's demolition application. We will not oppose because Paradisa Homes heard the concerns we expressed about its original plans and as a result, designed a totally new house that is far more appropriate for Clarksville. I will send the email this week. Mary MR•PR Austin, TX 78703 Be Kind "I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear." MLK On Mon, Apr 12, 2021 at 7:33 PM Luis Zaragoza Mary, I'd like to submit to you a proposal to keep the existing form of the front facade. All materials would be new. We'll want to use as much of the original flooring as possible as well. The existing home is located inside the 25' front setback, (approx. 15') so we'd need to move the house regardless. I hope this is something you and your team are agreeable to. We would very much like to reach a decision before the HLC meeting this month, which we are on schedule for, so please let me know if you would like to hop on a call this week to discuss. wrote: 1 To help protect y our priv acy , Micro so ft Office prev ented auto matic download of this pictu re from the In ternet.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A DEMOLITION PERMIT IN A NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-21-113815 WILLOW-SPENCE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 82 SAN MARCOS STREET C.5 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1941 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled, frame cottage with a central entry topped with a front-gabled entry hood; paired 1:1 fenestration, some with decorative 3:1 wood screens. There is a building permit in city records evidencing construction of this house in 1941; the Sanborn map of 1935 shows a different house on this site, and the 1962 Sanborn map shows the current house. This house, however, appears to reflect 1930s construction in its masing and style, leading to some confusion with a water utility permit dating from 1932. The confusion would not affect the determination of historical significance for this house, as it was home to only two families during much of the historic period, one of whom lived in the earlier house on this site. The 1941 building permit reflects construction by Louis Bonugli, who operated a neighborhood grocery store just a block from this site, and who invested in neighborhood real estate. This house was built as a rental unit. The first residents of the house were Willie L. and Allie Smith, who lived here until around 1943, and had lived in the earlier house on this site since the early 1930s. Willie Smith was an auto mechanic. Raymond and Angie Miller moved into the house around 1943 and rented the house until around 1950. Raymond Miller was taxi driver who later opened his own filling station while living in this house. Angie Miller worked at Woolworth’s a downtown discount department store. PROPERTY EVALUATION The house is listed as non-contributing to the Willow Spence National Register Historic District, but staff questions that determination, as the house is an intact example of vernacular residential design that would be contributing to the historic district if evaluated today. The Willow-Spence National Register Historic District was nominated in 1985, when this house would not have qualified under the 50-year threshold; the district nomination does not shed any light on the justification for the determination. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that while the house would …
Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Sunday, August 22, 2021 6:01 PM PAZ Preservation 82 San Marcos St case # PR-21-113815 This message is from Sylvia Marroquin. I received a notice of the hearing on the demolition of the property located at 82 San Marcos on Thursday. I see that the letter was dated for mailing on Aug 12. I do not believe that a local letter should take over a week to be delivered. In any case, the mailing date and the delivery dates are 2 very different things. I do not believe that enough notice has been given to all my neighbors to have the hearing as scheduled . I object to having the hearing until all interested parties are properly notified. Additionally, I would like to add that I went by the house and found the sign lying on the ground behind tall weeds. not visible to the street! The house in question in inside of the Willow Spence National Historic district. The entire district is comprised of 4 blocks total. Thus far we have had no one try to destroy any of our historic homes. The house in question is by far in better condition than my house at 908 willow street was when I purchased it. I restored my home! The house will need some updating as all these 1920‐ 1930's homes do, but it is not a tear down. There are plenty of homes all over the east side that developers can buy and tear down without hardly any problem. This house is in a National Historic District. If the buyers of this property did not like the house and had no intention of restoring, then they should not have bought it. It was their choice! Do not set a precedent that it is okay to tear down the homes in the Willow Spence National Historic District!! We must work to preserve the homes . It is only 4 blocks! Please do not allow historic homes to be torn down and contemporary style homes be built in these 4 little blocks!! 1
