HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS – REVISED STAFF REPORT MAY 24, 2021 HR-2021-063830 1113 E. 9TH STREET ROBERTSON/STUART & MAIR HISTORIC DISTRICT B.8 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a 1-story side addition to a contributing building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The addition is set back approximately 27’ from the front wall and has a footprint of 331 square feet. It is clad in 12” horizontal hardiplank siding, with 1-over-1 vinyl-sash windows. The addition is capped by a combination side-gabled and hipped roof, with a shallow flat roof over the entry; the hipped roof’s slope matches that of the historic house. Metal stairs on the primary (north) wall access a paneled, partially-glazed door. ARCHITECTURE STANDARDS FOR REVIEW One-story, modified L-plan building capped by a combination pyramidal and flat roof, with horizontal wood siding, wood- sash windows, gabled dormers, a corner porch, and interior chimneys. The building is designed in the Queen Anne style. The Robertson/Stuart & Mair Design Standards are used to evaluate proposed changes to contributing buildings. The following standards apply to the project: New additions should be compatible with the historic building by reflecting the scale, massing, and/or materials of the historic building, but differentiated enough so that they are not confused as historic or original to the building. If designing an addition in a contemporary style, reflect the scale, massing, and/or materials of the historic building; if designing an addition in a style that reflects the style of the historic building, differentiate the scale, massing, and/or materials, at least slightly. The proposed addition’s scale, massing, and materials are compatible with and differentiated from the historic building. Its simple style reflects the style of the historic building but will not be mistaken for original construction. The project meets this standard. Design new additions that are subordinate to and do not overpower the historic building. The proposed addition is subordinate to the historic building in terms of scale, massing, and location. Construct additions that avoid the removal or obstruction of any historic exterior features on the front of the building or the sides within 15 feet of the front. Set back a new ground-level addition a minimum of 15 feet measured from the front wall of the building (excluding the porch). The new addition is attached to the side wall and set back 27’ from the front wall. The project meets this standard. Modern materials such as fiber-cement siding are appropriate for …

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.
