Hill House Relocation Proposal Villas on Rio, LP plans to develop the property located at 2110 Nueces St. A 19 story student housing tower will be built at the site. Currently, the Hill House is located at 2104 Nueces St. Multiple high rise towers have recently been built in the vicinity of the Hill House. Villas on Rio, LP is proposing to relocate the Hill House one block away to 22nd St., an area with multiple historic houses. If the Hill House remains in its current location, there will be high rise towers on all sides. Villas on Rio, LP would like to showcase the house instead of having it hidden by high rise towers. Hill House in Relation to Future Developments The Hill House is currently located at 2104 Nueces St. This location is being overshadowed by high rise student housing. If the Hill House is moved, it would be highlighted in a prominent location with similar houses. Surrounded by High Rise Towers In its current location, the Hill House will be surrounded by 17-19 story student housing towers. These towers will completely wrap the house, making it appear hidden in shadows and out of place. Hill House Relocation Villas on Rio, LP is proposing to relocate the Hill House to 22nd St., adjacent the White Springfield House. The 22nd St. allows the Hill House to be more visible, instead of being overpowered by high rise towers. Access to the house will be better because of less pedestrian traffic. Hill House Proposed Site Plan This site plan reflects the proposed Hill House relocation to the west side of White Springfield House. There is ample room for the relocation, and the large trees will remain. Hill House Rendering The Hill House will be moved to a prominent location which highlights the historic houses along 22nd St. Description of Remodel: • Leveling Foundation • • Structural Repairs Siding Repairs • Railing Repairs • Re-Paint Hill House Current Photos Intersection of 22nd St and Nueces St Intersection of 22nd St and Nueces St Intersection of 22nd St and Rio Grande St Intersection of 22nd St and Rio Grande St
Thank you so much for getting this on the agenda! The increase in crime we have seen around campus in the past few months is unbelievable. The residents do not feel safe and we would like to fence off the perimeter of the property to insure their safety. Attached is a site plan w/ the proposed fencing outlined. Also below are examples photos of the proposed fencing. If you have any initial feedback I am all ears. I would like to get this through HLC this month so that we can install the fence right away. Steck House is a meticulously maintained property and will remain so. We are just very concerned about crime in the area and would like to secure the premises as soon as possible. Thank you very much Steve. Cater Joseph Proposed steel picket fencing material, pickets with crushed spear tops Proposed chain link fencing materials Proposed covered entry gate example

4010 Avenue H Window Supplement Owner Overview In purchasing 4010 Avenue H we had full knowledge of its historical status and specifically engaged an architect and GC with experience restoring older, historical homes. Our intention is to restore as much as possible and ensure the house is functional not only now but for the next several decades. In evaluating the house during the planning process, it has become apparent that the condition of the windows is incredibly poor and restoring may not be a viable option. The original windows are primed wood with a weight and pulley system. The glass is single pane. The nylon ropes are either ripped or in very weak condition throughout. The frames on the outside are rotted and the glazing is failing. There is also significant wood rotting to the grilles and rail / sash. These issues are significant and apply to every window in the house. Our hope was to find a handful of windows that could be salvaged, but all of them are in the bad shape. We’re proposing replacing these original windows with double hung aluminum clad wood windows in the same design as the existing. The home’s windows are covered by screens that the we intend to replace with similar due to significant rotting. As a result of these screens being mounted in front of the windows, the glazing on the windows is always obscured when viewing from the exterior. If we match the existing window style, mullion pattern and proportions (which we intend to do), the view of the house from the street will be unchanged.

From Lindsay Shillington Via email 9/10/2020 We are proposing to replace the existing windows. The window survey (hot off the press!) is attached. Since we last spoke the owners have selected a builder, Michael Curlee. Michael had his window guy, Glenn Geydos, come take a look at the windows and make a recommendation based on their condition. Glenn's take was as follows: "Original windows are primed wood with weight and pulley systems. Glass is single pane and they are falling apart. The glass is the least efficient it can possibly be. The nylon ropes are ripped and some will need to be redone. The frames on the outside are rotted in the majority of them and the glazing is failing and falling apart. It will cost you twice what new windows will cost to repair them and thats IF you can find someone to do it. Attach those pics we took today so the Hyde Park people can see what you are looking at. I am all for saving the original windows when that is a cost effective measure. In your case it would be a mistake. There are far too many major issues with these windows. You also clearly have water issues inside the walls......." I shared photos of the windows with John Hindman at Red River Restorations to get his input on what it would take to restore them. John said the windows have been neglected and restoration would require extensive work. He mentioned the 6/6 configuration makes the windows more difficult and more expensive to restore vs. a standard 1/1. The cost would be at least 2x a replacement window and candidly the cost is not financially feasible for the owner. We would like to install aluminum clad wood windows that match the existing. We are working with a rep to find a window that has the same sash, mullion & muntin dimensions and is in our budget. We are having the wood screens rebuilt. Both the glazing and the surface of the window are obscured by the screens. Because we will be diligent about matching the existing window profile, the view from the street will remain unchanged.

C.2 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER DISTRICTS HR-2020-110112 3211 OAKMONT BOULEVARD OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER DISTRICT PROPOSAL Construct a 2½-story single-family house. The Commission previously approved demolition of the existing building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 2½-story irregular-plan house clad in fiber cement siding and capped with a cross-gabled standing-seam roof with a second-story front gable. A shallow hipped roof covers the perimeter of the first floor, including a front porch and carport. An integral garage with a roll-up wood door is set back from the front wall of the house and capped with a gable roof. The house features single and paired fixed and casement clad-wood windows with true divided lites, a multi-lite fully glazed front door, an exterior brick chimney, and wood posts supporting the carport and porch. The first-floor windows and door are capped by transoms. The gable ends are clad in wood shingles. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 9) New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. The house is differentiated from nearby historic buildings. Its horizontal proportions, roof form, and materials are compatible with the district; the complex massing and window openings could be more compatible with the simple forms and fenestration found in nearby contributing properties. The project somewhat meets this standard. 10) New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. If the house were removed in the future, the historic district would be unimpaired. The proposed project somewhat meets the standards. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not reviewed. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Comment on and release the plans. The applicant has revised the plans in keeping with the Commission’s recommendation to simplify the primary façade and introduce a more horizontal emphasis.

C.4 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER DISTRICTS HR-2020-127555 1607 NILES ROAD OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER DISTRICT PROPOSAL Construct a detached garage. No changes are proposed to the principal building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1-story rectangular-plan garage capped by a side-gabled roof covered in wood shingles, clad in wood shingles, and featuring paired folding wood doors facing Woodlawn Boulevard and a sliding wood door facing the interior of the property. One multi-lite casement steel-sash window is located in each gable end. The building has a footprint of 600 square feet and will connect to the principal building with a shallow-pitched steel roof. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate new construction in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 9) New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. The building is compatible with the principal building on the property through its side-gabled roof form. Its size, subordinate position, uncomplicated massing, and shingle cladding differentiate it as new construction. The project could be more compatible through its materials, which are not related to or particularly compatible with the stucco-clad house. It somewhat meets this standard. 10) New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. If the new building were removed in the future, the historic district would be unimpaired. The proposed new building somewhat meets the standards. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not reviewed. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Comment on and release the plans, with the advisory recommendation that the materials be changed to be more in keeping with the character of the historic house.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 HR-20-127918 3002 BRYKER DRIVE C.5 - 1 PROPOSAL OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT Construct a second-story addition to a single-story ca. 1941 contributing house. Demolish noncontributing detached garage. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish detached garage and deck. 2) Modify existing roofline to create higher ridgeline. 3) Construct a two-story addition at rear of house. The proposed addition is clad in fiber cement siding. It features vinyl windows and a cross-gabled roof with composition shingles. The fenestration pattern is irregular throughout, with fixed, casement, slider, and double-hung windows with two, six, or eight lights. 4) Remove existing front porch and reconstruct with smaller footprint. 5) Replace existing vinyl windows with multilight double-hung and casement windows. RESEARCH The house at 3002 Bryker Drive was built in 1941 by W. D. Anderson. Its sole owner until at least 1959 was Cicely Goff, a mathematics teacher and department head at McCallum and Austin High School. Goff’s brother, Edwin H. Goff, lived with his sister during 1963; she also hosted fellow educators as tenants during the 1940s. Goff was teaching full-time by at least 1918. In the 1940s, she acted as Austin High’s mathematics department chair and served as a leader of the Victory Corps, a program meant to prepare students for wartime and military service in the wake of the Pearl Harbor bombing. In 1966, Goff married her first cousin, agricultural engineer Moulton Babcock Goff, at the age of 77. Goff died in 1978 in Riverside, California. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate new construction projects in National Register historic districts. Applicable standards include: 2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. The proposed addition will have a minor impact on existing historic materials. Original windows on historic house have already been replaced with vinyl. The porch reconstruction will alter original fabric at main façade, but it will not significantly impact the view from the street. The roof modification will alter the original ridgeline. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, …
