Steering Committee Members: Steve Amos, Chair Renae Alsobrook, Mark Ashby, Evelyn Fujimoto, Adrienne Goldsberry, Paula Hern, Nick Mehl, William Osborn, Charlie Rice, Paul Shattuck, Shawn Shillington, Erika Tatum, Meghan Yancy February 3, 2025 RE: 705 West Lynn - PR-2024-159632; GF-2024-161879 Dear Chair Heimsath and HLC Commissioners, Old West Austin Neighborhood Association, OWANA, supports retaining contributing structures in our historic district and integrating existing building forms into the overall project for new development. In the case of 705 West Lynn, preserving the façade and front rooms of the existing house and adding on to the structure would have a significant impact toward that goal. The applicant met with the OWANA zoning committee and we suggested these two options for maximizing the square footage for two living units: 1. Add a second floor to a garage structure. 2. Remove a portion or all of the heritage tree on the lot to allow for a second unit. This particular case is one that is to decide on keeping a heritage tree or a contributing structure. OWANA will support the position of keeping the contributing structure. We hope that HLC can also recommend keeping the structure. We are aware that the city tree ordinance regarding heritage trees is very strict, it seems to us in this case that if both OWANA and the HLC supports this position there is the possibility of the city arborist accepting this solution. The potential Owner in today’s meeting said that he could keep the first 15 ft of the house and make the project work if the heritage tree in the back of the lot could be removed. The tree is so close to the rear structure that it might be damaged during construction. It could be the case that some mitigation is require to offset this lost. The United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Report “NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES REGISTRATION FORM” lists 705 West Lynn as a representative property to illustrate “the broad patterns of development, diverse range of resources, and salient features of the dominant types and styles present in the district. They have been selected on the basis of their geographic distribution, relationship to similar properties, and degree of integrity.” Listed as a contributing structure, 705 West Lynn is a Center-passage, Side Gable Classical Revival style, and individually eligible for National Register listing. Please consider our position in your decision process …

SUMMARY OF SCOPE As part of the 2022 Bond, Burnet Middle School will receive a full modernization of the existing campus at its current location. The modernization of Burnet Middle School will involve a full campus replacement on its current site at 8401 Hathaway Drive, Austin, TX 78757. The new campus will include a building that features flexible learning spaces to support a variety of learning styles, updated spaces for CTE, Fine Arts, and Athletics, spaces for mental health and wellness, and spaces to support the community. The design of the site will feature updated parking, site circulation, outdoor learning spaces, and outdoor athletics spaces. The design of Burnet Middle School will be created with the community it serves, via the Austin ISD Campus Architectural Team (CAT) process, wherein design decisions will be made collaboratively with educators, campus leaders, parents, and community members serving on the CAT. The future Burnet Middle School will be a medium-sized middle school, designed for an 1100-1300 student capacity at a programmed size of 248,000 GSF. DESIGN OVERVIEW The Burnet Middle School project is a transformational project that re-develops an existing 160,000 sf building with a state-of-the-art modern educational program of 248,000 sf. The new facility will be constructed on top of the existing playfields, allowing the existing building to remain operational while the new facility is being constructed. The project includes the complete redevelopment of the project site, including hardscape/landscape for students, outdoor learning environments, athletic facilities, and vehicular access for student drop-off, emergency vehicles, and service, as well as parking for visitors, staff, and operations team. The site preserves existing trees, re-imaging the area of the existing building into a student park for both informal and formal outdoor activities. The existing Burnet Middle School was designed and constructed in the late 1950’s, opening for the 1960- 61 school year. The building is a classic modern school design with expressed steel structure, daylit classrooms designed with natural ventilation, wide corridors and natural ceilings. The exposed roof deck is made with wood fiber, doubling with acoustical purposes to dampen sound in the building. Natural materials throughout have been a hard-working solution to serve the building for over 60 years, brick walls in public spaces and wood panels in classroom corridors bring durability and warmth, interior windows and clerestories provide daylight and views throughout the school. Wayfinding is natural and intuitive in the building. There are …
Educational Suitability Summary Report Burnet Middle School Date: 10/22/2020 Score 51% Average Burnet Middle School, serving a student enrollment of approximately 950 students in north central Austin, has a focus on dual language, STEAM, and agricultural studies. A large, covered walkway around four mature elm trees at the front of the building creates a welcoming and distinct entry. The building configuration with three parallel studio wings connected by a main hallway gives ample daylight in the learning spaces. In the learning spaces, the lighting and temperature controls do not meet modern standards. The original windows from 1961 are single pane and inefficient. Blinds to control daylight are generally in disrepair, and many of the mini blinds do not function. Acoustic separation between studios and the hallway is undermined by large return air grilles. Acoustics are also reported to be inadequate in the administration space. The campus amenities are numerous and in good condition. The spacious Learning Garden is well equipped and well maintained, providing an excellent space for environmental education. An Austin Energy pavilion provides space for an outdoor studio and is equipped with solar panels near the front of the school. However, many of the original features are not functional. In addition, three secure courtyards have the potential to be ideal spaces for outdoor learning. Sports fields and a full running track are in good condition and well secured by a perimeter fence. There are two tennis courts as well but are in poor condition. Interview Overview The interview took place virtually with Principal De la Rosa, Admin Secretary Izela Thomas, and District Project Managers Jorge Ledesma and James Belle. The interview highlighted many of the shortcomings with the current building. Burnet Middle School sits on a large site, and the school could have outdoor learning spaces, but upgrades are needed. They use the field for SEL classes for the 6th grade, but Wi-Fi coverage is spotty past a certain area outside the building. The Austin Energy pavilion is used as an outdoor studio, but additional outdoor learning spaces could be created with increased furniture and covered areas. The school has a few items that should never change. The campus has heritage trees, two stone memorials in the courtyard dedicated to students, an anchor at the front of the school, a plaque to commemorate the school’s history, and a teacher memorial. There are programs not in suitable space. Dance …

Narrative of Historical Components 1. Wood Gymnasium Floor The existing wood gymnasium floor has a sailor mascot graphic at center court. The intent is to transfer a portion of the wood floor and this graphic to the gymnasium in the new building. 2. Entry Pavilion There is an entry pavilion at the existing school. This pavilion will be preserved as a free-standing structure that will offer shade along the walking path of the new school. 3. Covered Walkways The existing building utilizes metal covered walkways to connect exterior portions of the building. The new building will use the same style of covered walkway as a reference to the historical design of the original building.

Drenner Group met with our neighborhood on Monday, February 3rd at 1:30 pm. Our neighborhood sent over a list of pre-demolition items before the meeting that would have addressed concerns for preserving our historic district from potential hazards due to the demolition of the current structure and development of the newly proposed one. Drenner Group told us most items could not be addressed by them but all parties did agree to working on a restrictive covenant that would support our neighborhood. Drenner group also agreed to send a list of items for us to review and our neighborhood kindly requests to receive these items no later than 4 pm today so that we have time to discuss them. Given the compressed timeline, our neighborhood would like to request a postponement of the demolition permit application to allow for further discussions and negotiation of the restrictive covenant details with the Drenner Group. Our neighborhood is not against the development of this property but we are concerned about possible contamination (radiation, groundwater pollution), flooding, and an …

The property at 1707 Alameda Drive is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. While not locally designated within the Travis Heights neighborhood, we recognize its historical significance and have worked with our clients to ensure that the proposed renovations will respect and preserve the character of the existing home. Proposed Renovation and Addition: The historic home was previously added onto with a primary bedroom that was not quite compatible with the existing home. For this reason, we propose to demolish this previous addition and replace it with a new addition. The proposed new addition scope includes a new Primary Bedroom suite and mudroom at the ground floor, and a new office with two new bedrooms at the second floor. The Secretary of Interior Standards for Rehabilitation state: New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. At the new addition, we propose to use shingles at the roof to match the existing home, and vertical wood siding to complement the new horizontal siding on the existing home. We are proposing a bay window at the new addition that will allow it to be differentiated from the period of the existing home. We are working with the owners on mullion spacing, although this is not reflected in the submitted documents here. At the rear yard of the home to the East, the yard topography slopes dramatically upward. For this reason, we are keeping the addition close against the existing structure. For the existing home, we propose to renovate the interior spaces, but leave the exterior volume and character intact. We do propose to replace the existing asbestos siding with horizontal siding. Carport and Setback Considerations: The existing carport, which was erected prior to the owner’s purchase of the home, encroaches the setback line. We …
