Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Attachments: CLIFTON LADD Sunday, January 23, 2022 6:13 PM PAZ Preservation brenda Ladd Case number PR-2021-200516; GF 22-001167 for Demolition of 512 E Monroe; public hearing MONDAY, 1-24-22 at 6:00 PM Public Hearing Form Ladd.pdf; Untitled attachment 00035.htm; 512_E_Monroe_20220120-00 copy.jpeg; Untitled attachment 00038.htm; 512_E_Monroe_20220120-01 copy.jpeg; Untitled attachment 00041.htm Dear Ms. Allen ‐ I just left you a phone message a little while ago and would appreciate it if you could call me tomorrow. We received a notice of public hearing for an application for a demolition permit for 512 East Monroe St. while we were out of town January 16‐19, and I didn’t see it until Thursday the 20th. I don’t understand how the City of Austin could give less than one week notice before a public hearing for a demolition. I have made several attempts to find information about this proposed demolition at https://abc.austintexas.gov/web/permit/public‐search‐other using the case numbers listed in the notice (PR‐2021‐ 200516; GF 22‐001167), but it only returns the answer “No rows returned.” The sign announcing the public hearing was not posted on the property, as it was laying on the ground in the front yard when I went by to look on Thursday the 20th (see attached photo). This house is a good example of the architecture of the Travis Heights‐Fairview Park National Historic District. It is in very good condition and should be preserved as an important part of the neighborhood (see attached photo). I oppose the demolition of this valuable part of our historic neighborhood. Please contact me before the public hearing tomorrow night at 6:00. Thank you, Clifton Ladd 1509 Newning Avenue Please let me know if you have any information about this. ‐‐‐‐ Clif Ladd 1

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: John L Trowbridge Sunday, January 23, 2022 11:51 PM PAZ Preservation Review case number PR-2021-200516 | GF 22-001167 *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Attn: AMBER ALLEN, Re: Review case number PR‐2021‐200516 | GF 22‐001167, I OBJECT to the requested demolition of the house structure @ 512 E Monroe St, Austin TX 78704. Public Hearing: Historic Landmark Commission, January 24th 2022 Review Case Number: GF 22‐001167 ‐ 512 E MONROE ST / PR‐2021‐200516 Contact: Amber Allen My name: John L Trowbridge My address: 508 E MONROE ST, Austin TX 78704 I reside within 500 feet of the property under review. I OBJECT to the requested demolition of the house structure @ 512 E Monroe St. My comments: I am property owner and resident of 508 E Monroe, the 2nd property west of 512. The former owner was my neighbor for 20 years. The current structure @ 512 is a charming bungalow with vintage architectural features, including exterior teardrop hardwood siding and interior shiplap walls. The house is structurally sound. It was built in 1928 with dense longleaf pine lumber, now almost 100 yrs old but with structural and aesthetic qualities superior to modern building materials. I oppose full demolition. I would love to see the new owner incorporate as much of the old structure as possible with whatever upgrade / expansion they need. A demolition at the property at the other end of the block @ 500 E Monroe was denied by this commission around 2008. After the builders completed the renovation, the house was designated as Austin’s 1st historic home to receive a 5‐Star green building rating. After renovations were completed the builder sent a letter of thanks to the very groups that opposed the demolition, as they received an abundance of praise and publicity and claimed that they ended up profiting more‐per‐square‐footage than they would have with an entirely new structure. The house next door at 502 E Monroe was later remodeled from 1 to 2 stories. I witnessed that home’s transformation which incorporated much of the original framing and enhanced the original charm still found in the dwindling number of older homes in the neighborhood. I’m also very concerned about the fate of 2 grand heritage Live Oak trees on the property, with trunk diameters of 53 & 44 inches. I’ve resided at my property in this neighborhood for 43 …

3621 Windsor Tarrytown Case 1 Tarrytown Case Summary The owner has requested a demolition permit for 3621 Windsor Rd., a Tarrytown residence. 2 Tarrytown Case Summary The owner has requested a demolition permit for 3621 Windsor Rd., a Tarrytown residence. Staff has argued that the structure may meet the architectural and historic association criteria. 3 Tarrytown Case Summary The owner has requested a demolition permit for 3621 Windsor Rd., a Tarrytown residence. Staff has argued that the structure may meet the architectural and historic association criteria. However, the structure has been meaningfully expanded and changed over time – and staff’s basis for historic association raises equity-related policy questions. 4 This Tarrytown residence was owned by oilwoman philanthropist Alma Thomas. It was built in the late 1940s for $52,500 – roughly 12 times the median home value at that time. This is the structure as it existed the year Alma Thomas passed – it included a main house and servants’ quarters. 6 This is the structure as it today – meaningful work has been done to expand and change it. 7 Historic Association Rationale: Equity Implications Staff argues that Alma Thomas’ status as an oilwoman and local philanthropist is sufficient to warrant historic designation for this structure. 8 Historic Association Rationale: Equity Implications Staff argues that Alma Thomas’ status as an oilwoman and local philanthropist is sufficient to warrant historic designation for this structure. However, adopting this rationale would disproportionately favor historic designation in affluent West Austin, where residents had a much greater capacity to participate in large-scale philanthropy. 9 Historic Association Rationale: Equity Implications Staff argues that Alma Thomas’ status as an oilwoman and local philanthropist is sufficient to warrant historic designation for this structure. However, adopting this rationale would disproportionately favor historic designation in affluent West Austin, where residents had a much greater capacity to participate in large-scale philanthropy. This would also provide these affluent areas with tax exemptions and abatements. In other words, past wealth would be used as a basis for shifting today’s tax burden onto less affluent Austinites. 10 Already, there are six historic landmarks with a half-mile of this property. 11 Supporting Conditions Alma Thomas Has Been Appropriately Honored by Southwestern University. Southwestern University has honored Thomas with the Alma Thomas Fine Arts Center, connecting her to the work she did and the causes she supported. Alma Thomas’ Granddaughter Opposes Historic Designation. Thomas’ granddaughter has …

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Epps, Patience L Saturday, January 22, 2022 8:25 AM PAZ Preservation Protest to the demolition permit application for Case No. GF 22-001028 607 E. 38th St. *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Ms. Allen, I am emailing to protest the demolition permit application for Case No. GF 22‐001028 607 E. 38th St. I live within 500 feet of this property. This is a historic house that offers an affordable rental option, which is becoming more and more rare in our neighborhood. The planned demolition and new building will compromise the character of the neighborhood and will undoubtedly further limit the affordable housing options in the area.
