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.

M.L.K., Jr. Blvd External Email - Exercise Caution Greetings Commissioners, My name is Brenda Malik, and I am opposed to this demolition application and frankly annoyed that such an application would even come before without our neighborhood design standards being addressed. We worked more than five years to obtain our 'preservation district', yet it appears that the hard work and design standards on the books are deemed irrelevant. My fervent request is that this request for demolition be thrown out, or at least postponed pending further analysis and clearer information. No contact has been received from the applicant.

Sturgill, Hunter From: Sent: To: Subject: Jeanne Cseri-Martin Tuesday, December 2, 2025 2:22 PM Historic Preservation Office Please defer demolition permit for old Rosedale school Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Flagged You don't often get email from Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Dear Historic Landmark Commission, I am a resident in Rosedale on Ramsey Avenue and raising my hand to request your postponement of the decision on the OHT’s request for a demolition permit for all or part of the old Rosedale school. 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.

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 …

At this (cid:415)me, there is too li(cid:425)le informa(cid:415)on and I do not support demoli(cid:415)on un(cid:415)l more informa(cid:415)on on what the replacement structure, if there is to be one, will look like from both streets that border it. The Miller-Long House, a historic property, sits on the corner across the street from this address. Working within the Historic Review process, the owner has gone to great expense and years long efforts to maintain the architectural integrity of that CORNER property and its contribu(cid:415)on to the neighborhood as the Eastern gateway to the residen(cid:415)al area that Park Blvd. represents; Hancock and Hyde Park Neighborhoods. One of the matching stoneworks that stand on EACH CORNER of Park Blvd. at Red River, stands on this property. They are iden(cid:415)cal to two others, located westward on Park Blvd., one on each side of the street. The stone bridge over the creek which crosses Park Blvd. is of similar design and construc(cid:415)on. These elements are important to our city and neighborhood heritage and should be maintained. No decision should be made has(cid:415)ly or without more informa(cid:415)on. I feel sure the majority of those living nearby would be pleased to see the renova(cid:415)on of an older property IF the new construc(cid:415)on maintains the character of the homes that surround it. At this (cid:415)me, I am opposed to the permit to demolish the current structure per this applica(cid:415)on.
