05.b - 705 West Lynn St - OWANA Letter March Update — original pdf

Steering Committee Members: Steve Amos, Chair Renae Alsobrook, Mark Ashby, Evelyn Fujimoto, Adrienne Goldsberry, Paula Hern, Nick Mehl, William Osborn, Charlie Rice, Paul Shattuck, Shawn Shillington, Erika Tatum, Meghan Yancy March 28, 2025 RE: 705 West Lynn - PR-2024-159632; GF-2024-161879 Dear Chair Heimsath and HLC Commissioners, Old West Austin Neighborhood Association, OWANA, supports retaining contributing structures in our historic district and integrating existing building forms into the overall project for new development. In the case of 705 West Lynn, preserving the façade and front rooms of the existing house and adding on to the structure would have a significant impact toward that goal. We support the HLC’s Architectural Review Committee’s recommended exploration in elevation and section of a second story at the rear of the front housing unit and exploring the possibility of widening the proposed rear parking structure to add desired interior floor area. The applicant has not meet with the OWANA with any updated elevations and sections and it is difficult to support demolition of a contributing structure without seeing more descriptive two dimensional drawings of how successful the massing would be with an addition to the original structure. Rehabilitation, remodel and addition to contributing structures in our historic district versus demolition maintains the vitality of the district. If piecemeal destruction of these historic homes continues, our district will cease to exist and its sense of historic narrative and charm will no longer be visible. This devalues our unique pocket of history in an increasingly dynamic city. Let’s continue to respect and appreciate the reason so many people want to live in our neighborhood. The United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Report “NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES REGISTRATION FORM” lists 705 West Lynn as a representative property to illustrate “the broad patterns of development, diverse range of resources, and salient features of the dominant types and styles present in the district. They have been selected on the basis of their geographic distribution, relationship to similar properties, and degree of integrity.” Listed as a contributing structure, 705 West Lynn is a Center-passage, Side Gable Classical Revival style, and individually eligible for National Register listing. Please consider our position in your decision process as we welcome new development while struggling to maintain the essence of our neighborhood. Sincerely, Steve Amos OWANA Chair

From: To: Subject: Date: Historic Preservation Office Comment for Hearing PR-25-008236 - 4901 Ridge Oak Drive, Austin Tuesday, April 1, 2025 11:18:05 AM You don't often get email from . Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution As a neighbor of this property with a hearing tomorrow (Weds April 2nd), I want to voice support for the new owner to be able to demolish this property and move forward with building a new dwelling. I live three houses down from the property, and while I understand the mission of the preservation society, and for Austin, I feel this property does not qualify and the process should have been started before a seller purchased the property. This property has been in total disrepair since our neighbor Roy (a former UT chemistry professor) moved out several years ago. Nothing has been taken care of, and when the property was being sold, not one person in the neighborhood came forward to speak about it being covered as historical. From my perspective, while there are certainly houses that should be covered by preservation plans, this one does not seem to most neighbors like it should be in the same category as those. In speaking with neighbors surrounding the property, we are all in favor of the plans we've seen for the new dwelling by the new owners. They're planning in building a dwelling that will fit the neighborhood (unlike some of the ones we've seen go up) and it will be a great upgrade to that corner of our street. It also does not seem fair that someone purchases a property, moves forward with millions of dollars and then someone comes out of nowhere stopping the progress once they're ready to get underway. The house as it stands now has been an eyesore, and a place where people have gathered to drink, sit out back and generally not add value to our corner. I do hope my vote is registered on the " approve for removal" side of the vote log . I do not have the letter that some people were submitting, but I wanted to make sure to vote anyway. Appreciate the work your team does, and do look forward to many other houses that do have true historical value being preserved.

Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Case PR 25-008236 My name is Annell Bay, and I live at 4604 Ridge Oak Drive, Austin, TX, 78731. I am writing to express my support for the demolition of the residence at 4901 Ridge Oak Drive. This property has been vacant and unmaintained for at least the decade I have lived here. All in the neighborhood have observed the continued deterioration of the integrity of this abandoned structure. And now, a sudden claim for historical review AFTER the property was finally sold is both an unprofessional and improper process and grossly unfair to the new buyer. If this home is of such historical value, then why hasn’t it been designated so prior to now ? Perhaps if historic value of this property had been identified sooner, it would have been better maintained. At the very least, the long-term abandonment and deterioration of the integrity of the current property at 4901 Ridge Oak Drive should override an arbitrary and sudden new ruling of building requirements. I and many other neighbors welcome finally, the new ownership and investment in this long-neglected property. I urge you approve the demolition.

1412 PRESTON HISTORIC REVIEW General Standards – 1. Windows, doors, and screens The proposed project replaces historic-age windows that do not appear to be deteriorated beyond repair. Proposed window replacements at main and secondary elevations alter the window patterns, materials, opening sizes, and configurations. WINDOWS - The existing single-pane windows are a weak link in the building’s thermal envelope. Even with storm windows or weather-stripping, single panes cannot match the insulation of modern glazing. - The current windows are steel and single pane. The steel is corroded and cracked in all windows. - The glazing has deteriorated completely. The exposure to weather/rain/UV radiation gradually breaks down the glazing compounds leading to cracks, shrinkage, and loss of adhesion - The existing glass are cracked all in the same general areas. 1 CRACKINGSINGLE PANECRACKINGPULLING OFF THE FRAMING RUST AND CRACKINGON STEEL AND GLASS 1412 PRESTON HISTORIC REVIEW General Standards – - The expansion and contraction over time has led to the steel to pull away from the brick - Traditional glazing putty, often linseed oil-based, hardens and becomes brittle over time, making it prone to cracking and falling out. - Steel windows from the 1950s are extremely difficult to repair due to limited availability of materials and skilled labor. The cost of repair is prohibitive and exceeds the cost of replacement - The existing windows are sitting directly brick to window contact, no sheathing or insulation, as well as no - Rust and corrosion – As steel frames corrode, they expand, putting pressure on the glazing and causing it to fail flashing. or detach from the glass. 2 CRACKING, DIRECT BRICK TO WINDOW PLACEMENT , LEAKAGESTEEL HAS CRACKING, NO FLASHING, DIRECT WINDOW TO BRICK APPLICATION 1412 PRESTON HISTORIC REVIEW General Standards – Aluminum Clad replacements The design standards documentation notes that simple measures like weather-stripping and window film are the first line of defense , and we have evaluated those. However, given the persistent energy loss and comfort issues, we are proposing to replace the single panes with insulated (double-glazed) glass units. - We also evaluated the weather stripping and film will not solve the issue of the incorrect construction application - Air leakage and thermal retention:Replacing with Sierra Pacific Wood Aluminum Clad windows will drastically reduce air leakage and heat transfer while preserving the historic frames’ appearance. Notably, the City’s guidelines even suggest retrofitting historic windows with insulated, low-E glass when …
