HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JULY 26, 2021 PR-21-077618 2108 WOODMONT AVENUE D.8 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1947 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH PROPERTY EVALUATION One-story, wing-and-gable plan frame cottage with minimal Traditional influences; partial-width inset porch on plain, square wood posts; single 8:8 fenestration. The house was built in 1947 by local contractor Felix Williams; the first occupants were Webb A. and Alma D. Thrower, who lived here until around 1956, when they moved from Austin. Webb A Thrower was a military man, working for the Veterans’ Administration before serving in the U.S. Army. Alma thrower is listed as a saleswoman at Scarbrough’s department store in the mid=1950s while Webb is first listed as in the U.S. Army. The house is located in Tarrytown, which has never been covered by a city survey. 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 it may meet the criterion for architecture, it does not meet the second criterion as required by Code. a. Architecture. The building is a good example of post-World War II residential architecture in Austin, relying on traditional design, and is remarkably intact. However, this is a very common house style in many neighborhoods in the city, so this house may not convey sufficient architectural significance to warrant consideration as a historic landmark under this criterion. b. Historical association. The house was the home of a trainer for the Veterans’ Administration during the historic period; there do not appear to be 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 Encourage rehabilitation and adaptive reuse, then relocation over demolition, but release the permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package, consisting of 8.5 x 11 photographs of all elevations, printed on photographic paper, a dimensioned sketch plan, …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JULY 26, 2021 PR-21-087495 812 W. 12TH STREET D.9 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE Demolish a ca. 1946 commercial building. RESEARCH One-story, rectangular-plan, three-bay brick commercial building with metal and plate glass storefronts, a brick parapet, corrugated metal full-width awning, black ceramic tile wainscoting, and quoined brick posts separating the bays. This building appears to have been built in 1946, although there is no building permit record to confirm the date of construction. It seems that there was a mom-and-pop grocery store on this site in the late 1930s, but that building was razed and a period of vacancy ensued for this site until just after World War II. City records indicate a water service permit for this address in late 1946, and city directories show three businesses in this building, which has three commercial bays, starting in 1949. The businesses remained stable through the end of the 1950s – a beauty salon at 812, a paint and wallpaper store at 814, and an ice cream parlor at 816. PROPERTY EVALUATION The building appears in the Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey (1984) but without a priority for research. 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 it may meet the criteria for architecture and community value. a. Architecture. The building is a good example of neighborhood-scale commercial architecture with three bays housing three businesses. It is largely intact and may qualify for landmark designation due to its architectural significance. b. Historical association. This building housed three businesses from the date of its construction through the end of the 1950s – a very stable history of tenants. The businesses were a beauty shop, a paint and wallpaper store, and an ice cream parlor. However, despite their longevity at this location during the historic period, none of these businesses were significant in their own right and would not qualify this building for landmark designation under the criterion for 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 building is a neighborhood-scale commercial building, and had three very stable tenants from the time of its construction through …

On behalf of the Bridges on the Park Homeowners Association (BOTC HOA), I hereby request (or will request at the hearing if appropriate) that the Commission postpone the July 26 hearing concerning 200 Lee Barton St. until the next meeting in August. The BOTC HOA has signed a Restrictive Covenant with the owner of the Paggi House property, and with the developer of the Loren Hotel, which under construction adjacent to 200 Lee Barton St. (please see attached agreement). This agreement calls for the replacement of the butterfly roof and gives the BOTP HOA the right to approve the project prior to construction. While we are generally in agreement with the proposed design, the design has only been finalized this week and we have not had enough time to review it with our HOA board and membership. Additionally, we have not had adequate time to obtain clarification of various matters and issues with the applicant. The design is at a very high level and we would like to gain a better understanding of the details. With only a four day period between today’s posting of the project and the upcoming meeting on the 26th, we believe it is reasonable that we are allowed more time to review and approve the project prior to the Commission’s approval. Should we request changes to the design, it would be better if the design did not have to come back before the Commission a second time for approval. Thank you for your consideration, Hoppy Goddin President, Bridges on the Park HOA From: Allen, Amber <Amber.Allen@austintexas.gov> Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 2021 4:28 PM To: Subject: July 26 HLC Meeting Good afternoon, 1 I received your voicemail and have registered you to speak at the Monday meeting.

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 …
