Sturgill, Hunter From: Sent: To: Subject: Raquel Gorny Tuesday, December 2, 2025 1:51 PM Historic Preservation Office Notice of Appeal Rosedale School You don't often get email from Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution To whom it may concern - I live at 4519 Rosedale Ave and am a neighbor of the former Rosedale School site. I support the postponement request by Play Fair with Rosedale and the Rosedale Neighborhood Association on case number: DA 25-142965. AISD has sued125 neighbors of the site to try to nullify a deed restriction that only allows one residence per lot. We are fighting this in court and it’s premature to consider a permit to demolish the building until the court case is resolved. I don't know if the old school is historic or not, but there is absolutely no reason to make any decision on this right now. Why are AISD and OHT in such a hurry to get a demolition permit, when there is very good chance the courts will uphold the deed restrictions and make their project impossible? It’s shocking to be sued by our own school district. We shouldn’t even have to be dealing with the historic value of building at this time. It feels like AISD and OHT are trying to steamroll us. Please take our opinions into consideration. Thank you, Raquel CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email. Please use caution when clicking links or opening attachments.

I thought you'd appreciate some more background history on the impressive line of Ramsey women who shaped Rosedale for generations. Doing all of my research on the deeds for the school parcel, I learned a lot. Winnie Ramsey (one of F.T. Ramsey's 3 developer daughters) and her husband Hilliare created the original Rosedale H subdivision in 1938 and sold several lots to the Austin school district that year for the construction of the original school building. By 1946, Winnie's daughter Alice and husband Harry Wilder later sold additional lots to the school district for the expansion of the school. During my time dealing with land use in Rosedale, I've had the distinct pleasure of working with Diane Wilder Davenport Howard, daughter of Alice, who developed the Rosedale Village project (where Gusto and Citizen Allday are). Diane is 83 today and is being SUED by AISD over the deed restrictions her grandmother wrote and AISD agreed to. Funny world!! Diane's daughter Casey Davenport operated a doggy day care for several years where Citizen's allday sits and still lives in the neighborhood. That's a mighty impressive group of women who had quite an influence on our neighborhood. Their husbands' names are all over the records, but the Ramsey women are the constant thread in the story of Rosedale. 1 A lot of this information came from Karen Collins' "Rosedale Ramble" history walks, which we helped produce in the '90s, but this document I found a few weeks ago filled in some of the blanks: https://www.charlottes-web.com/Ramsey-Nitschke_Line.pdf (copy attached) Have a great day!

MLK BLVD Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Flagged You don't often get email from Dear Commissioners, External Email - Exercise Caution The Historic Rogers-Washington Neighborhood Association is writing to request the postponement of the demolition at 2406 E. MLK. This house is a contributing house in our historic district and should remain until further notification from our neighborhood association. The current applicant has not spoken with our neighborhood about this property nor have they submitted any site plans to the city to show what they intend to do with the property. As some may know, it took us 5 years of organizing our neighbors to eventually receive the historic designation. During that process, we created design standards that keep the historical significance alive in our community. These design standards pay respect to the Black architects that built our neighborhood and other parts of East Austin. Given the lack of communication and insight into their plans, the neighborhood association thinks it is prudent to pause the process until plans are shared, we are given time to review the plans to understand how they work with the historic designation and provide feedback to the applicant. We thank you for your review of this case. Please reach out if you have any questions. Signed, Misael Ramos President - Rogers-Washington Holy Cross Neighborhood 1 CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email.

We do not understand any reason to decide or push this through right now, especially given the legal case that’s been raised related to the development, and will need to be settled presumably in court. We heard of the AISD/OHT proposal as a compromise in that part of the old school might be kept as part of the proposed high-rise complex. However, this “compromise” had no participation by the Rosedale residents who have so much at stake in this development. We hope you can hear and heed the people of Rosedale to postpone this decision until the case is resolved. Thank you for your support.

It was built by Dieter and Wenzel Construction Company of Wichita, Kansas, at a cost of $172,987. The land cost $40,000. Following construction of a new post office and federal building in 1965, the building was given to the University of Texas system by the federal government; it was remodeled into administrative offices by the university in 1970.
