Its significance outweighs any financial considerations of the developer. Mid Tex Mod and Preservation Austinʼs letters strongly opposing this demolition are compelling. This outstanding, remarkably-intact midcentury residence with passive cooling strategies and innovative technological design and construction, which is part of the larger Air Conditioned Village project, is very much a part of Austinʼs history and culture. Austinite Ned Cole convinced organizers to locate this significant experiment appropriately in Austin, with our hot climate. The residence is an excellent early work of local architect, Fred Day, who made significant contributions to Austinʼs development. A National Register Historic District designation is underway for the Austin Air- Conditioned Village, and the best example of this project should be preserved. Please vote for the preservation of 2502 Park View Drive.

The home is a fine example of Mid-Century architecture that makes Allandale so unique. The home also has local, and national, historic relevance as being one of the original homes in Air-Conditioned Village. My grandparents built their home on the same street in 1955. With so many of the homes already torn down and replaced by houses that do not fit the neighborhood, I feel Allandale will continue to lose the charm and appeal it has always had. In …
Gaudette, Angela From: Sent: To: Subject: Kim Barker Monday, July 27, 2020 11:59 AM PAZ Preservation HDP-2020-0258 - Sol Wilson House > *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Hello, I am a neighbor of this house and wish to both support historic landmark designation and register my position against demolition. Based on the research completed by City staff, it is my understanding this is the Sol Wilson House and perhaps the oldest house in the neighborhood. Both a street and subdivision were named after Sol Wilson. Like the Sol Wilson House, my house is at the intersection of Bedford and Sol Wilson Streets in the Sol Wilson subdivision. The City's research notes that not much is known about Mr. Wilson, but that he was a porter and worked at automobile dealers (and was married with many children). I suspect not much more is typically known about Black residents who lived in Austin during the 1920s and 1930s. Which does not mean that he was not important. This neighborhood is being decimated by demolition and over‐scaled new construction, but my support for designation is not just a vote against that. Mine is a vote to recognize the house of Sol Wilson, a Black homeowner and the subdivision's namesake. Photographs of the house are not a sufficient trade off for properly recognizing Mr. Wilson with landmark designation and prevention of demolition.

I live on Sol Wilson Ave.‐‐my address is 1180 1/2, but I'm actually just a few houses down from 2501. I've always wondered who the street was named after, but Google searches haven't yielded anything. I'm intrigued to learn that the street's namesake lived in the blue house that's currently up for possible demolition. I would really like to learn more about the Wilsons to determine whether their house deserves historic status. Please give City staff more time to research this property and its original owners by postponing this hearing to August 24. Thank you for your consideration.

M E M O R A N D U M TO: Historic Landmark Commission FROM: Historic Preservation Office staff DATE: July 24, 2020 Comparison of base zoning and current land use SUBJECT: At the June 22, 2020, meeting of the Historic Landmark Commission, Commissioner Heimsath requested that staff look analytically at historic landmarks in the central core of Austin to determine disconnects between their land use and zoning. Specifically, the commissioner expressed concern that, due to extreme financial pressure, properties not thought to be at risk have been threatened by untenable proposals that do not prioritize their preservation. This analysis would identify the level of risk such that the Commission can prioritize potential solutions. Commissioner Valenzuela also requested analysis for the potential historic landmarks and districts recommended in the 2016 East Austin Historic Survey. As an initial step in fulfilling this request, the attached maps and spreadsheet compile base zoning data from the City of Austin with current use data from the Travis Central Appraisal District for properties with Historic Landmark overlay zoning in central Austin. Staff next intends to create a map that interpolates between the two data sets and highlights those properties with the most significant differences between what is allowed under their base zoning and their current use. Given the large amount of data to analyze, staff seeks feedback on how to narrow this effort by either: 1. Starting solely with certain types of base zoning, such as Central Business District and Downtown Mixed Use, where there is likely to be the biggest disconnect between what could be built under the base zoning and the size and use of existing historic landmarks; or 2. Eliminating residential properties where the zoning and use are compatible, such as Single Family zoning with Family Dwelling use, and performing analysis on the remainder of the properties. Following the successful development of methodology for this comparison for historic landmarks, staff will expand the analysis to address properties recommended for designation in the East Austin survey.

Good Morning Steve and Cara, As you should know, GNDC has an affordable senior housing project in the works for the Lopez Property. We are at the point where the site plan can be approved, however, because the property has historic zoning, the site development permit cannot be issued until your office provides a certificate of appropriateness. We have until mid-August to get that done, but would love to have it sooner. We have made great efforts in the design process to maintain the structural and historic integrity of the Routon-Alvarez-Lopez House; stepping the tower away from the house (despite the incredible site constraints we face), removed balconies, reduced the size and minimized the visual impact of the hallway connecting the tower with the house. I joke with people that we should have started with the idea of of relocating to house to a site somewhere else and then, when that got shot down, moved to a design where we built over top of the house, and then, after that got shot down, proposed our initial design and it would have been hailed as wonderful. Instead, we tried to design as sensitively as possible from the start while being responsible to our mission of providing as much affordable housing as possible on a site with zoning and development entitlements that call for dense and tall buildings and prohibit the development of single-family structures. As you know, GNDC includes historic preservation as part of our mission, so the idea of demolition or relocation is something we would turn to only as a last resort. We're going through a Section 106 review and the Texas Historical Commission reviewed our initial designs (which were sent to you as early as January and again in March) and they made recommendations for changes which we then incorporated into the designs that I've attached. On May 27th, Lydia Woods-Boone,Program Coordinator for the Federal and State Review Program responded to the revised design as follows: Thank you for taking the time to change the design in order to more appropriately work with the historic structure. This design is greatly improved and seems to address all of our concerns. Please have the applicant resubmit the project with these designs through our eTRAC system so they can be formally reviewed under the Section 106 process. If there are any additional questions just let me know. Mr. Hatch, Thanks, Lydia …
Hello Steve & Elizabeth, We received a No Adverse Effects determination from the Texas Historical Commission on Wednesday. See below. Tom Hatch addressed your question regarding the connection between the Lopez House and the new residential tower. I'm hoping between those two factors your office will be able to issue a certificate of appropriateness soon. I hope all is well with you. Mark Re: Project Review under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and/or the Antiquities Code of Texas THC Tracking #202013678 La Vista de Lopez 809 E 9th Street Austin,TX 78702 Dear Dawn Perkins: Thank you for your submittal regarding the above-referenced project. This response represents the comments of the State Historic Preservation Officer, the Executive Director of the Texas Historical Commission (THC), pursuant to review under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The review staff, led by Charles Peveto and Lydia Woods, has completed its review and has made the following determinations based on the information submitted for review: Above-Ground Resources • Property/properties are eligible for listing or already listed in the National Register of Historic Places. • No adverse effects on historic properties. We have the following comments: The changes made to the design reflect the recommendations made by the THC in previous submission. Therefore, we have determined that this new design will have no adverse effect on the historic resource, La Vista de Lopez. We look forward to further consultation with your office and hope to maintain a partnership that will foster effective historic preservation.
