Ruiz 1805 Waterston - Case No. GF-21060230 Monday, May 24, 2021 11:24:58 AM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Ms. Allen: I am sending you one copy of the below email, which I sent to all members of the Historic Commission. I didn’t want to fill your in-box with 11 emails. Thank you. Olivia Dear Historical Land Commission Member: Once again, a buyer buys into our Historical District and wants to building a monstrosity modern duplex. I am requesting that you respect the NRHD designation by denying the request to build new homes on the lot. I do not see any compelling reason to tear it down — it is stylishly remodeled both inside and out. Although, I do not appreciate the modern front windows. I bought a house in Clarksville because I want to maintain its historical character. By granting the developer’s request, you contribute to the minimization of the original Black landowners by worked so hard to build these historical houses. I hope and request that you vote against this change and show the original Black owners that their contribution to Austin continues to be appreciated. Thank you. Olivia Ruiz Olivia B.

I have lived in this neighborhood for 30+ years and am a member of the Clarksville Community Development Corporation Board of Directors. 1805 Waterston Avenue is an up-to-date, fully renovated property that recently sold for over $1 million dollars. There is no reason, save greed, for this house to be demolished. . Allowing this 100% livable property, which is also a Clarksville NRHD contributing property, to be demolished for the sole reason of putting something new, larger, and very likely at odds with the existing character of the neighborhood sets a dangerous precedent. Clarksville is a unique neighborhood, deserving of protection. I urge you not to approve this permit.

Paula Kothmann Preservation Chair, SRCC Historic Landmark Commission May 24, 2021 Preservation is better for the environment than demolition. Why don’t investors preserve rather than demolish? One of the biggest reasons that real estate investor seek to demolish their properties is because the property taxes are much too high for the income they can hope to get in residential rentals of older properties. Much more awareness of tax benefits may help stop some of the demolitions. San Antonio, for example, helps train property owners to apply for tax benefits when they preserve certain historic properties. Austin is supposed to be green! Demolition wastes a lot of energy and materials. Property taxes significantly increase holding costs. Recommendation: the property owner should endeavor to lower his taxes by: 1) Protesting his appraised values for the past two years 2) Requesting an income appraisal like that given to the nearby businesses w/ SF3 zoning. a. Why are residential rentals treated as commercial for tax appraisals? b. Why do residents pay such a higher price/sf than businesses? 3) Seeking tax credits for historic preservation because he is in a historic district and will be using the property commercially a. What is the cost to preserve vs rebuild if the owner no longer has to pay City and/or State taxes for 5-10 years? b. How quickly would he be able to get rental income if he preserved vs demolished? The subject property at 71 Rainey is grossly overvalued compared to nearby sites. Site Address 71 Rainey Austin, TX Price/Sf Land $180 Mailing address Proposed Value 2020 $1,027,814 $425 Proposed Value 2021 $1,027,814 $425 70 Rainey New York, NY 73 Rainey Los Angeles, CA $1,027,814 $1,027,814 Price +/1 Improvement +$115,399 Notes $0.22/sf 1890sf $144/sf 7680sf +$610,166 -$165,017 Why the increase in the improvement?
