HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JULY 26, 2021 SB 21 054392, 055812, 055829 CONGRESS AVENUE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 600 CONGRESS AVENUE C.4 – 1 PROPOSAL Amend a previous sign installation application on a noncontributing building to include a blade sign and to change color scheme in order to enhance business visibility. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Install a blade sign at the Congress Avenue elevation. 2) Rework existing signs to revert to originally proposed color scheme. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The City of Austin’s Guidelines for Signs in National Register Historic Districts or at a City Historic Landmark are used to evaluate projects in National Register Historic Districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Number of Signs: The Commission allows one sign per building, unless the building has multiple tenants; in this case, the Commission may allow one sign per façade module, if the façade modules correspond to tenant spaces. The Commission may also allow one sign for each street frontage if the building is at an intersection. A single directory sign is appropriate for a large building with multiple tenants. The proposed project adds a blade sign to the Congress Avenue façade, which also contains a flush-mounted sign above the business entrance for this tenant. A small flush-mounted sign is located above the pickup window at the building’s secondary façade. This exceeds the number of allowable signs per the guidelines. Sign Types: The Commission may allow window signs, awning signs, projecting signs, and flush mounted signs for most commercial buildings. Freestanding signs are allowed for office and retail uses in historic residential buildings. City codes prohibit the Commission from approving the following sign types: (1) rotating, (2) off-premise, (3) roof signs, (4) portable, or (5) signs which flash or blink at intervals. City code also prohibits handbills, posters, or placards on a structure except inside a window or on a bulletin board. The proposed project includes only projecting and flush-mounted signs. Sign Size: The maximum size for signs depends on the sign type: 1. Projecting (blade) signs: 6 square feet 2. Flush-mounted signs: 7% of the overall façade area, with a maximum height of 2 feet and a maximum size of 20 square feet 3. Window signs: The lesser of 20% of the window or 8 square feet 4. Awning signs: The lesser of 20% of the awning panel or 8 square feet. Large commercial …

My name is Isabel Henderson and I'm a resident of Rosedale. I wanted to reach out about the proposed demolition of 2502 Park View Drive (Case GF‐21‐103669). This house is part of Austin's Air Conditioned Village and should be preserved as a historic house. It's a unique example of midcentury architecture and represents an attempt to combine design with what was cutting‐edge technology at the time (technology that contributed to the development of Austin, the state of Texas, and the Southwest). It's been devastating to watch the houses in this neighborhood be demolished, one after the other. Sometimes it seems that there are entire blocks that are in the process of being razed and rebuilt. We have a responsibility to maintain unique historic homes (such as 2502 Park View Drive) in Austin—or we will regret not doing so, years down the line. If we don't, neighborhoods like Allandale will lose their history and charm, and start to look like any other overdeveloped, cookie‐cutter neighborhood across America. Razing 2502 Park View Drive would be a blow not only to the neighborhood but also to the design/architectural community and archive. I cannot encourage you enough to designate this house as a historic landmark, and prevent its destruction. All the best, Isabel Henderson CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source. Please use caution when clicking links or opening attachments.

Here is the info on the identical home, as described on the Allandale email list: "We live in the ‘twin’ house to this one on Park View and we absolutely adore it. It is a perfect example of mid century modern architecture and we get so many compliments on how open and bright it is.... we knew we had to own this house and save it." On Fri, Jul 23, 2021 at 8:49 AM Leslie Currens Dear Preservation Committee, Regarding the Air conditioned village home, the home is uninteresting and poorly constructed. There is no need to preserve this house. Please allow these homeowners to do what they want with their property, to build a home that meets today's standards and needs, rather than forcing the preservation of a home that has little historic value and holds little interest for people today.

It is the best-preserved example of the proposed Austin Air-Conditioned Village Historic District. A few years ago I was blessed to be a volunteer for a home tour of that District. And as I live in Allandale, I was most proud of the village right next door to me. I sincerely hope that you will initialize historic zoning, as this house meets the historic landmark designation criteria for architecture, historical associations, and community value. I understand that 2505 and 2507 Park View Drive have also been approved for demolition, and I oppose that also.

Do you know how many calls I get every week to buy my houses?? I am also a former president of Allandale Neighborhood Association (twice) and Board Member (4 years). What is going on in our neighborhood with the tear down of one story homes and the lot line to lot line two story no class boxes is awful. These houses that are being built now will not be here in 50 years like mine is. They are selling for over a million and within a few years will have more problems than you can imagine and be torn down. Austin was a very nice town and a town to be proud of ‐ but ‐ in the 1970s the Lege let City Hall make the decision of height downtown ‐ huge mistake. The two focal points of the city are the Capitol and the UT Tower ‐ neither of which you can see from most vantage points. Those high rises downtown will also not be here in 50 years ‐ they will be torn down and something else will go in ‐ worse. There is nothing wrong with history and preservation. Money is not always everything. Right now, a million doesn't get you anything in Austin. If these houses are torn down in years there will be regret and wonder why we can't reconstruct them! Save the history ‐ developers need to get a grip ‐ think about your legacy, that's all you have.
