City of Austin Fire Station No. 3 Architectural Review Committee – Historic Landmark Commission – Design Overview Presentation 12 April 2021 Context Location: 201 West 30th St Currently, all fire trucks are being parked outside of the apparatus bay. Recent changes to the floodplain maps cause a significant portion of the building to be in the floodplain. Introduction Overview Construction completed on February 21, 1957 Architect: Roy Thomas Does not have any Landmark designations at present. Adjacent to the Aldridge Place Historic District Building History Repairable Not Repairable Overview The building has suffered two types of structural damage: 1) General wear and tear based on age. (entire structure) 2) Overstressing of the foundation due to parking trucks that are heavier than the original design load. (apparatus bay only) Structural Damage Shore up and preserve Demolish and replace Overview For the areas that have just suffered age- related wear and tear, the intent is to shore up that portion of the structure and preserve it. For the apparatus bay, the intent is to demolish the portion of the building that is beyond repair and replace it with a new structure that is sensitive but of its time. Project Intent Structural The City of Austin has conducted three studies of the building. Two structural studies and one geotechnical report. The second structural study specifically addressed potential remediation of the existing structure. All reports have been independently reviewed by the current structural engineer, who concurs with the studies’ methodologies and conclusions. Studies Historic An historic survey of the area was conducted. This building was identified in the survey. Recommendations for landmark were included. Reasoning: Possesses integrity and significance in Postwar Infrastructure Expansion. Survey Historic There are two simple paths: 1) The project moves forward without landmark designation. 2) The project moves forward with landmark designation. Two Paths Historic Without designation, the project would need approval for the proposed demolition. With intent for designation, the project would need both approval for the proposed demolition and a Certificate of Appropriateness. Our understanding is that the permitting process would overlap the landmark process if it were pursued by the city. Options Proposal Preservation of original use Carrying of roof line Use of brick Reuse of original signage Maintenance of original setback Compatible massing Use of period-appropriate detailing Preservation of historic fabric that is capable of being saved Design Highlights Proposal Original without emulation.

Brummett, Elizabeth From: Sent: To: Subject: Scott Boone Saturday, February 20, 2021 2:30 PM PAZ Preservation Case Number GF 21-014461 Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Completed *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Hi, As a resident at 1014 E 9th st in receipt of a public notice w/r/t the certificate of appropriateness, I would like to comment that I am IN FAVOR of the addition of an ADU, if only in the hopes that it might present an opportunity for a little more density. And sure, throw in a basement. But more broadly, I would prefer the upzoning of the entire neighborhood to allow by‐right installation of up to six units per lot, rather than another conversion of a barely‐historically‐significant unit into a $2m unit. The historicity of this neighborhood lies in its occupants, not the facades of its bungalows. If someone wants to pay that much to be within walking distance of Quickie Pickie, more power to them, but let's not pretend like they're doing anything historic. Let 'em turn it into a boarding house or a triplex, that would be historically‐ accurate. Good luck at the meeting!

Construct a new residence. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish existing one-story house. 2) Construct a new building. The proposed residence is two stories in height, capped with a standing-seam metal roof with compound roofline. Cladding materials include stucco, horizontal fiber cement siding, vertical fiber cement siding, vertical cedar screen, and standing-seam metal. The main elevation features a partial-width porch. Fenestration includes fixed, undivided windows of varying sizes, dimensions, and orientations; they are arranged in mostly regular patterns that vary among floors and bays. ARCHITECTURE Cross-gabled, single-story house with metal roof, horizontal wood siding, paired front doors, partial-width front porch, and 1:1 single and mulled windows with 2:2 screens. RESEARCH The house at 1007 Maufrais Street was built in 1941 by Houston C. Piland and his wife, Nettie. Piland worked as a railway clerk and claim adjustor. The Pilands lived in the home for the rest of the 1940s, then sold it to mechanical and electrical contractor Ernest Jernigan, along with spouse Mildred Jernigan. The Jernigans did not stay long; by 1955, the Lawson family was renting the home. Opal Lawson worked for the Travis County tax assessor, and her husband Marvin was a mechanic with the Constant Service Company. After a brief vacancy, Robert Finlay purchased the house in 1959, then constructed an addition in 1961.

The proposed new building is differentiated from historic buildings in the district by its modern fenestration patterns and cladding, its second-story massing, and its undivided fixed and casement windows. Its form mimics …

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish a ca. 1953 carport with attached storage shed. 2) Rebuild existing retaining wall. 3) Construct a new ADU. The proposed ADU is two stories, with an open carport on the ground level and living space above, supported by exposed steel beams. It is clad in board-and-batten siding. The compound hipped, shed, and gabled roof is clad in standing-seam metal, and exposed rafter tails are visible at north, south, and east elevations. A metal guardrail surrounds the covered porch and elevated walkway. The east elevation includes a screened porch. RESEARCH The house at 1510 W. 24th Street was built in 1946 by Major General Arthur Balfour Knickerbocker, Texas State Adjutant, after his resignation as leader of the Texas National Guard. An Odessa native, Knickerbocker helped to organize the state guard there and served as commander until his 1942 appointment by Governor Coke Stevenson. After leaving the Guard in 1946, Knickerbocker and his family left their Camp Mabry living quarters and constructed this home in Pemberton Heights. The carport and attached storage shed were built in 1953 by subsequent owner-occupants Raleigh R. Ross, a physician, and his family. Dr. Ross served as chief of surgery at Brackenridge Hospital before climbing to chief of staff and, for a time, interim superintendent. During the 1950s and beyond, Ross chaired the State Board of Hospitals and Special Schools. Ross also served as president of the Travis County Medical Society and sat on the Board of Trustees for the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Crippled Children, among other hospital boards. In a 1980 American-Statesman article, Ross is credited with helping to modernize Austin’s medical system after World War II.

01 March 2021 Claman Residence 1517 Murray Lane Austin, Texas Historic Review Application Proposed Work Structure 1. Due to the age and condition of the existing foundations, demolition and replacement of the existing foundation and ground floor slab is required to meet existing structural requirements and codes. The new foundations will match the current footprint of the original house on the North, West and South sides of the structure, with one exception. Currently, the North elevation projects 6” into the 5’ set back and this will be pulled back to align with the required set back. 2. Due to the replacement of the foundations, most if not all of the framing, except for the west wall at the first floor will be replaced to allow for proper replacement of the foundations. Front Façade – West Elevation 1. The original façade: siding, trim, porch roof and supports, will be maintained. Any elements that are damaged will either be repaired or replaced with similar profile components. The current wall shall be brought up to current energy efficiency guidelines. 2. Existing double hung window sashes will be replaced with new sashes to match the existing size and will incorporate insulated glass panels. Removable wood insect screens will be provided at all double hung windows. Original window trim will be reused unless damaged beyond repair. Any replacement materials will match the profile and size of the existing trim. 3. Extensions of the existing porch roof will be added to the north and south. The detailing and trim will match the existing porch structure. 4. The existing “eyebrow” windows will be replaced with new, operable “eyebrow” windows that are sized and located so that natural light is brought into the interior and establishes visual access to the exterior. The width and detailing of the “eyebrow” windows will be similar to the existing windows and are in keeping with the original aesthetic of the house. The original windows will be preserved for future use. 5. The existing asphalt shingle roof needs to be replaced due to its condition and age. The new roof material will be a synthetic slate or similar asphalt shingle profiled roof that is keeping with the aesthetic style of the original house. Side Façades – South and North Elevations 1.
