416 W. 12th St. Keep DKG Working for Women Educators 1 Overview Project: Rezone to DMU and reject historic zoning, which will: • Keep Delta Kappa Gamma healthy and strong, and • Provide a downtown project that supports housing goals. Presentation: • Overview (Michael Whellan) • Project Proposal (Architects) • Delta Kappa Gamma’s Work (DKG Members) • Delta Kappa Gamma’s History (DKG Leadership) 2 Key Facts • Delta Kappa Gamma is not a building – it is an active organization. DKG’s programs support women educators around the world. • Delta Kappa Gamma’s history predates this office building. This site is DKG’s fifth location. DKG’s founder, Dr. Annie Webb Blanton, died over a decade before they relocated to 416 W. 12th St. • This project is critical to Delta Kappa Gamma’s future. Historic zoning would restrict one of their key resources and lock in escalating building costs at the expense of DKG’s mission and health. 3 Delta Kappa Gamma 1929 Dr. Annie Webb Blanton founds DKG on UT’s campus as a way to organize women to fight gender discrimination and support women educators. 1945 Dr. Annie Webb Blanton passes away. 1956 Delta Kappa Gamma relocates to 416 W. 12th St., its fifth location. 4 National Register Status In 2011, an architecture student sought National Register Status for DKG for a class project. The state informed DKG this would not restrict the site. Delta Kappa Gamma: “Can you tell me what restrictions or impact this would have on the property?” National Register Coordinator: “Listing in the National Register imposes absolutely NO RESTRICTIONS on private property.” February 2011 Exchange Excerpt 5 DKG’s Request vs. Historic Zoning Outcomes DMU Zoning Historic Zoning Revitalizes Delta Kappa Gamma. Helps Meet City Housing Goals. Funds Permanent Supportive Housing. Supports Robust Transit System. Structural Preservation. ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✓ 6 Recap Delta Kappa Gamma supports women educators and students around the world – but faces a number of challenges, including issues with their current office building. DKG has requested DMU zoning, which would allow them to strategically target their resources and revitalize, while helping the city better meet its own goals. However, historic zoning would restrict one of DKG’s key resources and lock in long‐term costs, threatening their financial stability and future. 7

I also volunteer on the SRCC's Preservation Committee but I'm writing as an individual and not on behalf of that group. I oppose the demolition of 1400 & 1402 Drake Ave. (HDP‐2020‐0400 & HDP‐2020‐0474) for the same reasons as previously stated. This house is contributing to our historic district, and its location, while not considered "unique," does not diminish the value of a character‐defining home on a corner lot. As you know, a historic district considers the whole, and not just landmark‐status properties. While we can't forbid these demolitions, it would be helpful to know the plans for these lots. Sadly, demolitions on a corner lot seem to cause a cascade of demolitions down the block, leading to more losses. Demolishing 1402 Drake, as well, only exacerbates this effect. I hope this commission can encourage the owner of these properties to work with the SRCC's Preservation Committee and the city's Preservation Office to develop a plan that would retain the facades of these homes while still being able to remodel and expand in a sensitive way. I'm sure there must be an alternative to demolition.

This subdivision is directly behind the land at 5613 Patton Ranch Road where the demolition of historic buildings has been requested (Historic Case Number: PR-20-159810, Review Case Number: GF 20-171534, permit/case number 2020-159810 PR). The Oak Hill Association of Neighborhoods forwarded the notice of public hearing on demolition at 5:23 PM pm on Sunday Dec 13, which is why we did not sign up to speak at the meeting (since the deadline was noon on Sunday). We are writing this letter to strongly object to the demolition request for the following reasons: 1. The Oak Parks Subdivision Neighborhood Association Executive Committee as well as other interested neighborhoods were not notified in time to participate in the meeting. 2. The request to demolish is related to St. Andrew’s request to rezone the property to MF-4-NP and build a 295-unit apartment complex (2020-171561 ZC), demolishing one building (this property in question). Despite the neighborhood plan at http://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=124183 identifying the house as historic and the TDOT Report for Historical Studies Survey at https://www.oakhillparkway.com/DEIS/27a_OHP-DEIS-AppendixL.pdf identitying the house and some of the outbuildings as historic, a neighborhood plan amendment was not found to be needed. 3. St. Andrew’s (the property owners) was aware of the issues with people vandalizing the building and did not try to clean up / protect the buildings until they received a code violation in July 2020 when they were selling the land to another school (that school ended up selling the property back to St. Andrew’s). One of the executive committee members, Brett Schwab frequently reported to the school every time he saw trash dumped or the building vandalized. We are not historic preservation experts so do not know whether the building can be saved. But we do know this feels rushed to facilitate the rezoning request and want to be sure interested parties have time to respond and historic experts can look at the buildings to see if anything can be salvaged before they are destroyed. …

SRCC SOUlH RIVER CITY CITIZENS AUSTIN TEXAS Historic Landmark Commission City Hall 301 W.2nd St. Austin, TX787A1 December 11,2020 Dear Commission Members: RE: SRCC opposition to demolition of 1400 Drake, case HDP-2020-0400 On November 17th 2A20, the general membership of the South River City Citizens (SRCC) Neighborhood Association voted to oppose the demolition of the home at 1400 Drake. our opposition stems from the following main issues: The home is modestly sized and would be affordable as rental property. lf demolished, it is unlikely to be replaced with a similarly affordable home. The home contributes to the pending Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register Historic District. The house is a classic vernacular 1930s cottage, common in its time. Today, this cottage is a vanishing resource type and reflects blue-collar family housing in South Austin. This home represents the eclectic and diverse character of Travis Heights.

HDP-2020-0424 *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Commissioners, I'm a long‐time resident of Fairview Park, and one of the neighbors who spent the past 15 years working toward our National Register historic district designation. I also volunteer on the SRCC's Preservation Committee but I'm writing as an individual and not on behalf of that group. I oppose the demolition of 514 Academy Dr, HDP2020‐0424. I live near this property and completed my opposition statement in writing last month. I have not seen any plans yet for this lot, so I am still opposed to demolition. This section of Academy's historic streetscape has barely been touched by new construction, so losing a contributing property in the middle of the block‐‐so close to the historic Kirkland‐Mather House (The Academy)‐‐makes a jarring statement and diminishes the character of our historic district. Should the owner want to learn more about the possibilities of restoring the house, even with an addition and ADU, they could create an income‐producing property and earn tax credits for rehabilitation. Or they could sell that remodeled property as an income‐producing property. I believe people moving to Austin desire homes like these that provide the "missing middle" and can be a benefit, rather than a waste of embodied energy and history thrown in the dump. Of course, I cannot speak to the owners' intent. If they desire to be part of our community, I'm sure a meeting with our neighborhood's Preservation Committee would be fruitful and could open up more possibilities for compromise and find design approaches that wouldn't remove this contributing property from our historic district.

I also volunteer on the SRCC's Preservation Committee but I'm writing as an individual and not on behalf of that group. I oppose the demolition of 1414 Alameda HDP‐2020‐0453, given the house's contributing status to the historic district and its level of integrity. It would be nice to see the plans for what would replace this house so I could speak more directly to the issues demolition would cause. Ideally, the house could be restored and remodeled, possibly with an ADU. The owner might like to know more about tax credits for rehabilitation which could offset some of the costs, should they choose to use the property for income. While this house is a working‐class home, it is still valuable to our community's historic character and, in combination with the other working‐class homes, tells the story of our community. I feel sure that if the owners would like to meet with members of our neighborhood's Preservation Committee, there might be a good design solution that would benefit both the owner and our historic district.

Concerning: Case Number: GF 20-178291 – 3107 DANCY ST 1. In the past a determination was made that this house warranted historical certification. There is no reason to assume that this is no longer valid. In addition, this past determination has the weight of a formal verification process. 2. Historical zoning is an exchange of value-received (reduced taxes) for having a development easement assigned to the property. This easement goes with the property, just like a drainage easement or a flood zone determination. Existing and/or previous landowners have already received value in exchange for adding an easement which remains with the property. That was the deal and they made it. 3. Historical certification might increase or decrease the resale value of the property. In any case, the current property owner purchased the property with eyes wide open with regard to this restriction (which reasonably was factored into the purchase price) and so no argument of undue hardship is warranted. 4. The very nature of historical certification is intended to protect property against the variations of valuation over time which might make it profitable to demolish and redevelop a site. That was the agreement which made upon applying for and accepting the historical certification and that is the arrangement which should be applied to the consideration of this request. Summary: The request should be denied. A valid and binding exchange of value-received for encumbering the property with a development easement was made and this type of development easement, by its very nature, should not subject to the whims of redevelopment valuation.

Dear Historic District Members and Neighbors, Our names are Riley and Elliot Jackson and we recently just purchased the home on 2102 ALTA VISTA. We have been in Travis Heights for the past few years and can’t imagine starting our little family anywhere else! We are due with our first baby boy in February! We absolutely love the charm of this bungalow style house, and just want to create more space for our growing family. Our plans are to add on a master suite to the left side of the house and enclose the front porch to make some extra space in the living room. We plan on keeping the original windows and floors and hope to keep the charm that this house already has! We by no means want to change the cozy and warm feeling you get when you walk into this house, we are just wanting to create more room for our growing family since we plan on being here for a very long time. We appreciate your time, and please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. Warmly, Riley and Elliot Jackson 972-762-7600

Supporting Documents for Architectural Review Committee for discussion November 30, 2020 To: Committee Members, Architectural Review Committee From: Robin and Taylor Bruce – owners of 1406 Ethridge Ave, and Sam Burch, architect for 1406 Ethridge Ave Date: Provided to the Committee on November 25, 2020 Subject: Proposed Renovation of 1406 Ethridge Ave, Austin TX 78703 Response We are submitting this statement in support of granting permit to move forward with updates and renovations at 1406 Ethridge Ave (“1406”), Austin, TX 78703 in order to extend the life of the home and update its premises to allow for comfortable occupancy for a family of five. As we shared in our original meeting with the HLC on November 16, 2020, we (owners, Robin and Taylor Bruce) are incredibly grateful to the HLC for highlighting the pioneering legacy of the original occupants of 1406, Reverend Edmund Heinsohn and his family. We feel honored to be the stewards of this home’s legacy of inclusion and warmth and to be raising our children amidst such shared values. Our aim in this proposed renovation is to preserve the defining qualities of 1406 while updating the space to accommodate our family of five and plant firm roots in the surrounding neighborhood. We also wanted to reiterate here the expert opinion of Sam Burch, architect, in response to the specific elements detailed in the HLC’s review: • The garage is in fact not a new addition as is stated on C.3-2. The garage was added in 2004 and currently has a composition shingle roof and fiber lap siding. Our plans account for recladding the exterior, replacing the composition shingle and adding living space in the existing attic which will not change the overall roofline. We are adding a dormer that is visible from the driveway. These updates will improve the look and feel of the garage from the street. • The new addition detailed in submitted plans at the rear of the house is replacing an existing addition that was constructed in 1994. It is poorly built and contributes nothing to the existing home. When this addition was built all of the existing stone on the rear of the original house was removed. • While the proposed front porch will somewhat alter the front of the house, the intent is for the owner to be able to enjoy the neighborhood and engage with their neighbors. That is currently …
APPLICATION FOR A PERMIT WITHIN A NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION CONGRESS AVENUE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT NOVEMBER 16, 2020 506 CONGRESS AVENUE C.6 - 1 PROPOSAL Paint a mural on the face of the building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant proposes painting a mural on the face of the building on Congress Avenue. This building was the former Yaring’s Store, but was architecturally modified in 2002 with the installation of additional tall fixed sash windows in the second story and a new steel and glass storefront, so that it may no longer be contributing to the Congress Avenue National Register Historic District. The changes were reviewed and approved by the Commission in 2002. 506 Congress Avenue prior to 2002 remodeling 506 Congress Avenue after renovations The proposed mural is large and colorful with a soccer motif. It was designed by renowned Spanish artist Ruben Sanchez; Here is his website https://www.iamrubensanchez.com C.6 - 2 STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation do not apply to artwork applied to buildings in historic districts, and the Commission has no specific guidelines or standards for proposed artwork. The mural could be removed in the future without damage to the structure. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS C.6 - 3 Not reviewed. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends postponement to resolve outstanding questions and processes relating to this building and proposal. The pre-2002 façade of the Yaring’s Building was not yet 50 years old at the time that the Commission reviewed the modifications to the storefront and upper story, and the Congress Avenue historic district nomination did not call out the building as significant (there were no determinations of contributing or non-contributing structures in that nomination). The question now is whether the building retains sufficient integrity to relate its history so that it would be contributing to the historic district today. This building is between two historic landmarks: the Robinson-Rosner Building at 504 Congress Avenue to the south, and the Scarbrough Building to the north. The Commission should identify and evaluate any concerns about introducing a bold and colorful mural on this building as it potentially affects the context of the two adjacent historic landmark buildings as well as the context of the Congress Avenue Historic District. The applicant should consult with the staff of the Art in Public Places program for their input on this mural before the Commission renders a decision.
November 29, 2020 To the Austin Historic Landmark Commission, Chair and Commissioners: In August of 2020, we contracted to purchase 815 W. 11th Street with the intent of demolishing the structure and rebuilding with a structure that is compatible with the growing area around downtown. The zoning by the City of Austin allows for +/- 4400 SF. If the Code Next were approved, the zoning would allow up to 6600 SF. The zoning is for office use, which is what we intend for the property, consisting of our offices and maybe one other office tenant. Our business is a local consulting firm working 8-5 M-F, comparable to other uses on the street. When we were looking for a home for our office, we wanted to be in the downtown area, following the intent of the City of Austin to be more dense in the downtown area, thus less city sprawl and more accessible to public services and transportation. We put a contract on 815 W. 11th and discussed the need for a demolition permit with the Owner. Vivien agreed to sign applicable paperwork with the city to allow for the demolition permit. That is covered in our contract for purchase. We pursued the demolition permit with the understanding that if we could not obtain the permit, we would not be able to purchase the property. In order to apply for the demo permit, we discovered the city of Austin requires a clean tax certificate prior to placing the item on the HLC agenda. So, we asked for one from the TCAD. We found out that 3 years of taxes had not been paid. We spoke to Vivien about this and she did not have the funds to pay for the taxes. In good faith, we paid the taxes on her behalf so that we could be on the HLC agenda. We were under the impression that Vivien still supported our request for a demo permit. Our first hearing was postponed as staff requested more time to review. Durin the last HLC meeting, we discovered that Vivien submitted a rejection memo to the HLC opposing the demolition. We found this out just before the meeting. The demo permit was placed on Consent Agenda, but with her opposition (and assuming she was the applicant), the HLC pulled the item for discussion and then referred to the case to the ARC. We are …
Historic Design Standards City of Austin Adopted _________ Welcome In Austin, historic preservation encourages the preservation of historic buildings, structures, sites, and districts; promotes awareness of cultural and architectural heritage; and helps shape a more sustainable, equitable, and livable place. As the city grows, these Historic Design Standards will help property owners, designers, builders, and historic preservation professionals make consistent decisions about how to meet present-day needs while stewarding local built heritage and achieving larger goals. Clear standards and graphics show good practices, as well as changes to avoid. The Historic Design Standards were created by a working group representing property owners, designers, developers, advocates, and the Historic Landmark Commission. The working group sought to develop locally relevant standards grounded in national preservation principles. Many members are laypeople, and readability was a key concern: the standards needed to be understandable by property owners and neighbors considering whether to apply for historic district designation, as well as by architects. A Maintenance and Preservation chapter and illustrated glossary support those who want to learn more about architectural elements and materials. The Historic Design Standards promote long-term sustainability by supporting the retention and repair of existing buildings, which keep tons of old-growth wood and other material in use and out of the landfill. They also support sustainable solutions for making buildings more energy efficient now, from high-impact improvements like attic insulation and duct sealing to DIY changes such as weather-stripping around windows and doors. Historic Preservation Office staff are available to answer questions and provide feedback on proposed projects. Reach out to preservation@austintexas.gov or call (512) 974-3393. Left cover image: People looking out over Austin, ca. 1940s Acknowledgments Design Standards Working Group The Historic Landmark Commission created the Design Standards Working Group on September 24, 2018 to create a new set of historic design standards, with the goals of providing clear, user-friendly standards and guidelines for all historic property owners and of simplifying the historic district application process. This document is the product of the working group’s efforts and is modeled on the Preservation Austin design standards template produced through a community initiative in April 2011.

Frequently Asked Questions This FAQ sheet is intended to provide a brief orientation to the Historic Design Standards. Please contact preservation@austintexas.gov if you have further questions or feedback about the standards. 1 Why were the Historic Design Standards developed? Don’t we already have standards for historic properties? districts. They do align with existing district design standards and may be adopted by property owners within each district if desired. The Historic Design Standards were developed to clarify existing standards for historic landmarks and National Register districts, and to make the historic district application process easier and more equitable for new districts. The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation form the foundation of preservation practice in the United States and are used in Austin to evaluate proposed changes to historic landmarks and in National Register district. However, these very general standards can be challenging to interpret when planning and evaluating specific projects. The Historic Design Standards build on them with more specific standards and illustrations of good practices. For new historic districts, community members compiling an application currently must hire a consultant or learn how to develop their own design standards, then go through multiple rounds of review with other property owners and City staff. This adds time and cost to the application process—and results in design standards that are nearly identical to those for other districts. The Historic Design Standards will provide a consistent, predictable set of standards for all areas considering historic district designation. 2 I own a historic landmark. How will the Historic Design Standards affect me? If adopted by City Council, the Historic Design Standards will clarify existing standards for exterior changes to historic landmarks, as well as new construction on landmarked properties. The Historic Design Standards are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, but are clearer, more specific, and easier to use for planning and evaluating projects. 3 I own a property in a locally designated historic district. How will the Historic Design Standards affect me? The Historic Design Standards will not affect previously agreed-upon design standards for existing historic 4 I own a property in a National Register district. How will the Historic Design Standards affect me? If adopted by City Council, the Historic Design Standards will replace the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation that City staff and the Historic Landmark Commisison use to evaluate National Register district projects. …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 16, 2020 1406 ETHRIDGE AVENUE GF-2020-162558 C.3 - 1 PROPOSAL OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT Demolish and reconstruct front porch; apply mortar wash; construct rear and garage addition; replace windows, doors, and siding. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS rafter tails. 1) Demolish existing front porch. Replace with full-width porch with metal roof and exposed 2) Apply mortar wash to existing stone that will leave some stone exposed. 3) Construct an addition. The proposed 1.5-story portion of the addition, clad in vertical wood siding, combines a garage with entry at the east (main) elevation with living space above. It features a side-gabled roof and metal-roofed shed dormers. The 2-story portion of the proposed addition is clad in stone veneer and combines a gabled tile roof with standing-seam metal shed accents atop exposed rafter tails. 4) Apply new wood shutters to east elevation. 5) Replace all windows and doors. 6) Replace metal roof with tile. RESEARCH The house at 1406 Ethridge Avenue was built in 1939 for Reverend Edmund Heinsohn, a lawyer and minister, and his family. Heinsohn served as the pastor of University Methodist Church for over a quarter-century, setting a record for the longest stay in a single congregation for a Methodist minister. Heinsohn was a trustee of Southwestern University for nearly forty years and chairman of the board of trustees at Huston-Tillotson College for thirty. He served on the Texas State Library and Archives Commission for twenty-five years. In 1958, Heinsohn was honored as the city’s “Most Worthy Citizen” by the Austin Real Estate Board for his long career in ministry and service. Heinsohn’s Austin legacy is rooted in his anti-war and anti-segregation activism throughout the twentieth century. In the 1930s and 1940s, he spoke up for American neutrality, opposed the religious oppression perpetrated by the Nazi regime, and promoted nonviolence as vice- president of the Methodist Commission on World Peace. University Methodist became one of the first historically white churches to accept Black parishioners in 1957, and Heinsohn chaired the Commission on Human Relations two years later in a bid to prevent violence against civil rights protestors. The reverend’s reputation for inclusivity led to him to maintain friendships among a diverse group of prominent Austinites of all creeds, from Supreme Court judges to J. Frank Dobie. Described as a “legend in his own lifetime” by the Austin American-Statesman in …
