Case Number: HR 20-110112 - 3211 OAKMONT BLVD August 19, 2020 Dear Members of the Historic Landmark Commission, For 33 years, we have resided at 3209 Oakmont Blvd in the Bryker Woods neighborhood of Central Austin. We raised our daughter here, have known most of our neighbors well, and have enjoyed living in one of the traditional older neighborhoods that make Austin distinctive and livable. We are writing to share our concerns about the construction that Kim and Eric Zipfel are proposing at 3211 Oakmont Blvd. Our primary concern is that the construction plans include a third story, which violates the deed restriction that single family homes in area BW “E” not exceed 2 stories. We understand that the plans technically meet the City of Austin McMansion ordinance, which (inexplicably to us) does not consider a “habitable attic” to be a third story. Yet, the Zipfel’s building plans include a staircase leading from the second to the third floor and plans for a sectional sofa and TV wall on the third floor that constitutes more than half the third-floor space. Third-floor storage appears to be confined to dormer areas. It seems disingenuous to claim that this does not constitute a third story living arrangement. The plan also includes, of course, a roof line that will be three stories. This is not consonant with the neighborhood. In the three blocks of Oakmont Blvd covered by the Bryker Woods “E” section (from 32nd St to 35th St.), there are 30 homes. Many have been renovated and enlarged, but only 6 even have a second story. The proposed house at 3211 would be the only house in Bryker Woods “E” with a third-story roof line. This is not the historic character of this street and neighborhood. It is our hope that the Commission will not approve these plans. We do not fault the Zipfel’s for proposing to build a house that maximizes their individual needs; it’s not their responsibility to enforce building restrictions associated with historic districts. If we understand it, it is the responsibility of the Historic Landmark Commission to determine if building plans are appropriate to a Historic District. To us, the Zipfel’s proposed plan is an example of what the deed restrictions and the Historic District designation were trying to prevent—the acceleration of very large single-family homes within historic neighborhoods of principally 1 and 2-story homes. Even with the current …

Gaudette, Angela From: Sent: To: Subject: Melanie Martinez Monday, August 24, 2020 11:41 AM PAZ Preservation Item D.3 815 Rutherford Place and 1204 Alta Vista *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Commissioners, I am a Travis Heights resident writing to oppose the demolitions of 815 Rutherford Place and 1204 Alta Vista Avenue, in my neighborhood and ask you to delay your decision tonight. I just learned about this fast demolition last night or I would have written sooner. Some of you may know me from years ago when I first started working to achieve a historic district designation for Travis Heights and Fairview Park. We've certainly had our ups and downs with that process over the past 15 years (mostly downs). But the day has come and we are scheduled for our final approval hearing with the Texas Historical Commission as a National Register district next month. Fifteen years! These two homes are contributing properties to our National Register district and even though they are modest and don't meet the high bar for landmark status, they do have community value! Besides being examples of the rapidly dwindling inventory of historic properties nation‐wide and, particularly, in our neighborhood, they tell a story about our community and of the diversity in housing types and architectural styles that makes it so special. I know that landmark status is all you have to work with, but I still feel they deserve a conversation before allowing demolition. There are many reasons to rehabilitate these properties rather than demolishing them. They are of a size that allows families to afford a home in our neighborhood. They can provide rental opportunities, as well. We pride ourselves in welcoming renters as much as cherishing old neighbors and welcoming new homeowners. I have worked with neighbors on several occasions to find compromises for a developer and they have found that the home they restored or remodeled sold much faster than the new spec home on a lot where they demolished a home. An example sits at the corner of Monroe and Newning. The house that was retained is one of the cutest in the neighborhood and much loved by its current owner. If our district should be approved next month, the owner of these properties could benefit by making them rental properties and taking advantage of tax credits for rehabilitation. If the owner is set on building …
Gaudette, Angela From: Sent: To: Subject: Lisa Whatley <whatley.lisa@gmail.com> Monday, August 24, 2020 11:11 AM PAZ Preservation Case number GF 20-108724 - 2816 San Pedro *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** To: Angela Gaudette From: Lisa Whatley, 2835 Pearl Street, pne 512‐410‐0115 Public hearing: Historic Landmark Commission, August 24, 2020 Case number: GF 20‐108724 ‐ 2816 San Pedro I object to the demolition of the house at 2816 San Pedro. I am very much against demolishing this perfectly fine historic house. I am against the huge disruption of the peace of the neighborhood, the noise and artificial dust storm that a demolition will create. I am against the callous wasteful way these demolitions are done, not piecemeal and respectfully, but with giant jaws tearing it all up into a big pile of broken glass, ripped planks, wrecked plastic, ripped metal and asbestos, with not a spec of that recycled, not even the wood the likes of which we will never see again ‐ this is despicable and ought to be illegal. But of course, IS all perfectly legal seeing as the entire old west campus neighborhood has been wiped out, and perfectly in line with what the bigwigs and developers have in mind. I'm sure they would tear down my house too if they got the chance. It seems like the Austin's vision is to wipe out any traces of anything under 40 stories tall and thus wipe out / drive out our history ‐ I'm against that vision. I hope this objection reaches the Historic Landmark Commission and that they have a heart in this matter. CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.
