08.2 - 2410 E Martin Luther King Jr Blvd - Applicant Response to Staff Recommendation — original pdf

Applicant Response to Staff Comments 2410 E. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard HR-2026-106327 — Rogers Washington Holy Cross Historic District Historic Landmark Commission — October 7, 2026 We appreciate Staff’s review and the conclusion that the proposed project “mostly meets the applicable standards.” 2026 1007 HLC Report 2410 EMLK The following information is provided to clarify several items identified in the Staff Report and to respectfully request that the project be allowed to proceed without an additional month of delay. 2. Lot Configuration The property at 2410 E. MLK Jr. Boulevard has not been newly subdivided as part of this project. The property is identified as Lot 2 of the recorded Holy Cross Heights subdivision plat, recorded November 23, 1956, when Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard was still known as East 19th Street. (Page 5) Accordingly, we request clarification or correction of the Staff Report statement that the subject property “was created as a result of subdividing 2406 E. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.” 2026 1007 HLC Report 2410 EMLK 8.1 Orientation, Setbacks and Height The proposed buildings comply with the district’s 27-foot maximum height. The actual building height is approximately 23'-9". Because of the natural slope of the property and necessary drainage considerations, the calculated overall height from average grade is approximately 25'-6", still below the 27-foot maximum referenced in the Staff Report. Staff specifically requested verification of compliance with that height limit. 2026 1007 HLC Report 2410 EMLK The front steps and covered stoop are approximately 26 inches above finished grade, responding to site drainage while maintaining an appropriately scaled entrance along MLK. 8.2 Design and Style In response to concerns regarding the vertical character of the front building, the front gable plate height of Building 1 has been lowered to reduce the perceived vertical mass. Page 1 of 8 The roof pitch is intentional. The steeper roof allows the interior ceiling to vault while maintaining the reduced exterior wall height. It also keeps the overall building height comfortably below the district maximum. The Staff Report acknowledges that the front-facing gable is appropriate given the width of the buildings and further finds that the overall materials and fenestration are appropriate. 2026 1007 HLC Report 2410 EMLK The design should also be considered within the context of more recent construction in this immediate portion of the district. Comparable two-unit and residential development have occurred nearby since approximately 2016, including: …

11.3 - 611 West Lynn St - OWANA Recommendation Letter — original pdf

Steering Committee Members: Stephen L. Amos, Chair Mark Ashby, Jeff Callahan, Scott Campbell, Marc Carlson, Hunter Coleman, Evelyn Fujimoto, Adrienne Goldsberry, Nick Mehl, William Osborn, Charlie Rice, Paul Shattuck, Shawn Shillington October 4, 2026 RE: SP-2026-035365; HR-2026-070009 - 611 West Lynn Street - West Line National Register Historic District - Item 11 Dear Chair Heimsath and Commissioners, The OWANA Zoning Committee has continued its review of the proposed eight-unit development at 611 West Lynn following the Historic Landmark Commission’s decision to postpone the hearing until this coming Wednesday, October 7th. Since the last hearing, the Zoning Committee met with the developer and architect to discuss the concerns raised in our previous letter and explore whether the project could be modified to better respond to the immediate historic context of West Lynn. We appreciate the applicant’s willingness to continue the conversation and consider ways the project might be adjusted. Our discussion focused particularly on the relationship of the proposed building to the front-yard setbacks established by the historic homes along West Lynn. See OWANA setback guidelines below. We believe this relationship is important to the character of the block and that the project would benefit from a meaningful shift toward the established setback pattern. During the discussion, a neighborhood architect who lives nearby suggested an approach that we believe merits further study. Rather than maintaining the current arrangement of narrow, alley-like spaces between individual units, some units could potentially be combined or reconfigured. This could allow the project to increase the front-yard setback and create a larger, more cohesive green space along West Lynn. Similarly, two of the units along the alley could potentially be combined to create additional space off the alley, helping reduce the likelihood of parked cars extending into the alley. This was a significant concern raised by neighbors who live along the alley. Green Space, Daylight, and the Arrangement of Units We encourage the developer to consider the long-term value and usability of the narrow yards currently proposed between the buildings. With buildings reaching approximately 40 feet in height, these spaces are likely to function as enclosed, alley-like areas. Their limited width and surrounding walls may make meaningful landscaping and access to daylight difficult. The separation of every individual unit with its own narrow yard also creates a more suburban development pattern, where land is more plentiful and individual structures can have meaningful space around them.

Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Re: Case number PR-2026-079349; GF-2026- 090393 — public hearing rescheduled for 10/7/2026 Dear Hunter Sturgill and Members of the City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission, We are writing as residents/neighbors in strong opposition of the proposed demolition of the contributing structure at 706 E. Monroe Street within the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register Historic District. Our own home, a 1980-built structure, is across the street from the proposed demolition. While our “new” build is a non-contributing wood frame and gabled house, it was thoughtfully designed with the scale and details of the three contiguous contributing structures across the street at 706, 708, and 710 East Monroe Street, similar to many of the bungalows that span from South Congress to Travis Heights Boulevard (see photos attached of adjacent homes to this property). Our own addition to our home in 2019 was respectfully designed to retain the architectural elements that lend themselves in scope and size to many of the homes on our street and in this historic district. 1 Like so many homes in the Travis Heights-Fairview Park District and on E. Monroe street, this 1920s Craftsman bungalow being considered for demolition is a contributing structure within the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register Historic District and appears to retain strong architectural integrity. We are concerned that demolition of this contributing structure would remove an important piece of the historic fabric of the neighborhood. As you know, historic districts derive much of their character from the collection of individual buildings that remain in place. Once a contributing house is demolished, its contribution to the district cannot truly be replaced by a new structure, regardless of how well designed that new structure might be. As direct neighbors to this property we value the historic character and continuity of E. Monroe and our neighborhood. The loss of 706 E. Monroe would affect not only the property itself but also the surrounding streetscape and the historic district as a whole. What will that mean for future development of our neighborhood? Will it set a precedent to raze any “old” structure? Our neighborhood's …

16.2 - 211 Academy Dr - Owner Letter — original pdf

LeAnne Wallis Michals & Paul Adam Michals 211 Academy Dr Austin, TX 78704-1809 4th October 2026 Hunter Sturgill Austin Planning Permitting and Development Center 6310 Wilhelmina Delco Drive Austin, TX 78752 preservation@austintexas.gov Dear Ms. Sturgill: We are writing regarding our Application for Permits in a National Register Historic Districts for the October 7, 2026 meeting of the Historic Landmark Commission. The property is located at 211 Academy Drive, and the case number is HR-2026-118672. We have reviewed Item 16.0, concerning 211 Academy Drive, posted on the City’s Historic Landmark Commission website. We respectfully request that this letter be included in the public record and considered by the Commission. In June 1983, LeAnne Wallis purchased the duplex at 211 Academy Drive with a down payment provided by her paternal grandmother. As of July 1, 2026, LeAnne has owned and resided at the property continuously for 43 years. LeAnne’s ownership substantially exceeds the approximately 12 years during which the Turner family owned the property in the late 1940s and 1950s. For more than 20 years LeAnne rented the B side of the duplex to tenants seeking economical, centrally located housing in South Austin, approximately two blocks from South Congress Avenue. In 2005, LeAnne hired Valiant Homes, Inc. to complete a permitted interior remodel under City of Austin Building Permit No. 05003614, issued March 8, 2005. The remodel converted the 1930-era, two-bedroom, one-bathroom units into a single-family residence with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. During the six-month remodel 211 Academy Drive remained our mailing address while we temporarily lived in an apartment two doors away on Hillside Avenue. We have beneﬁted substantially from the 2005 remodel, which provided a modern kitchen, an open living area, central air conditioning, and electrical systems brought up to modern code. However, the property is still a 1933 pier-and-beam house with signiﬁcant maintenance and performance concerns. The foundation requires leveling; the attic has limited insulation; and the original double-hung sash windows provide very limited insulating value. In addition, the roof dormers do not provide eﬀective attic ventilation. Following an early-1990s ﬁre that destroyed the roof, the dormers were replaced with features that are largely cosmetic rather than functional. The eventual sale of 211 Academy Drive is an important part of our retirement planning. We are concerned that the property’s designation as a contributing property in the Travis Heights–Fairview Park Historic District, implemented in 2023, could unnecessarily limit our …

Sturgill, Hunter From: Sent: To: Subject: Tuesday, October 6, 2026 6:33 PM Historic Preservation Office 908 W Gibson You don't often get email from Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Demolition Objection Case #: PR-2025-153753; GF-2026-120967 I object to the proposed demolition at 908 West Gibson Street because it conflicts with the preservation goals of the Bouldin Creek Neighborhood Plan, adopted by City Council on May 23, 2002. Goal 1 calls for maintaining neighborhood character and assets, while Objective 1.4 promotes historic designation to preserve existing properties. The plan’s voluntary design guidelines explicitly state: “Encourage the renovation, rather than the demolition, of existing structures.” The City’s own staff report acknowledges that this circa-1938 house appears to retain integrity and was identified in the 2016 survey as contributing to a potential historic district. Continuing to approve demolitions of these properties undermines the City’s adopted commitments. A neighborhood plan means little when the very buildings and character it seeks to preserve are steadily erased. The front yard also contains an original sidewalk that I understand dates to the 1920s. To my knowledge, it is the only remaining example of its kind in our neighborhood, and its elevated position appears to document how much higher the street once stood. This is a physical connection to our neighborhood’s early history, not simply disposable concrete. Although this review concerns structures, the sidewalk’s historical significance should not be overlooked or lost during demolition or subsequent construction. I ask the Commission to postpone approval while alternatives to demolition are explored and the sidewalk is inspected, documented, and evaluated for preservation in its original location. Our neighborhood’s history does not stop at the walls of its houses. Thank you, Scott Ingalls PMP, CSM CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email.

I have lived only a few blocks from the properties for over 35 years and most of the information in the staff report was entirely new to me. I knew that the buildings were the Austin Diagnostic Clinic buildings and that many of my neighbors continued to use doctors in the medical buildings until only the dialysis center remained. I had no idea about the important research being done by Dr. Moncrief. I thought that the sky bridge connecting the two buildings was rare in Austin, but I had no idea about the Mid-century Modern design by the renowned team of Wilson, Morris, Crain & Anderson. Considering that the Frank Erwin Center was torn down and city plans have been approved to remove the Austin American Statesman building, I support preserving these two much smaller examples of their designs that are now rare in Austin. These buildings have been vacant or near vacant for well over a decade and we’ve lived through attempts to re- zone the properties more than once. Most recently our City Council changed the zoning to GR-ETOD- DBETOD. …

I live just blocks away from 800 and 801 W. 34th and have always found the skybridge a unique architectural feature. It would be tragic to tear down the buildings just to clear the lot especially without any proposed development plan. Austin would lose the architects’ vision forever simply for reducing the property tax value as there are no proposed plans. That would be a real shame. I live in an historic home on busy Speedway and have many passersby remark on how much they appreciate that the City recognizes the contribution that historic properties make to the fabric of its neighborhoods. The previous owners wanted to demolish it too, but thankfully the neighborhood and the HLC intervened. It stands proudly on the corner of 35th and Speedway. 1 Please vote to add Historic zoning to protect the former Austin Diagnostic Clinic properties at 800 & 801 W. 34th. This would allow the properties to retain their unique characteristics, encourage the owner to clean it up and maintain the exterior, and challenge any future architects that would be tasked …

08.2 - 1614 Preston Ave - Contractor Letter on Masonry — original pdf

August 20, 2026 Historic Preservation Office City of Austin, Texas preservation@austintexas.gov RE: Condition of Existing Masonry at 1614 Preston Avenue, Austin, Texas 78703 Mr. Lukes and Members of the Historic Landmark Commission, I am the general contractor for the proposed renovation and second-story addition at 1614 Preston Avenue. I have over 20 years of experience in residential construction in Austin and Central Texas, including work on homes of this era, and with the kinds of masonry challenges present at 1614 Preston. This letter details my professional assessment of the condition of the existing masonry, the origin of the present issues, and my recommendation. On the structural questions, I have relied on the concurring opinion of the project’s structural engineer, Bradley Shaw. The existing stone masonry at 1614 Preston does not extend around the building. The stone is present on the front and along a little more than half of the left side. The remaining walls are not stone- clad. In my assessment, significant portions of this masonry do not appear original to the 1939 structure. This is most apparent at the chimney and along the Jefferson Street side. This conclusion is based on the variation in the stone’s cut and color, differences in coursing and mortar, and the way the stonework terminates, particularly at and around the chimney and the earlier addition area. These observations are consistent with the property’s other evidence of prior additions, as well as the structural engineer’s findings. The existing masonry is deteriorating and cannot be reliably stabilized. I observe cracking and displacement within the stonework, failed mortar joints, and clear evidence of chronic moisture intrusion. This evidence includes staining, dampness, and heavy biofilm growth in areas that appear to remain persistently wet rather than occasionally damp. The concentration of biofilm at grade and across the lower half of the wall is consistent with water collecting and remaining at the base of the wall, from ground contact, splashback, and the lack of appropriate base flashing. At the chimney, the biofilm marks sustained water entry at a junction that is a common source of leaks. Mortar loss and stone decay are most advanced in these same areas. In my experience, the cause is most often the manner of construction. A masonry wall always takes on some water. Without sufficient weather-resistive barriers, drainage cavities, flashing, or weep systems, water is held against the back of the stone and …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificate of Appropriateness September 2, 2026 PR-2026-008188; GF-2026-025308 Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District 1005 East 8th Street 3 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1906 house listed as contributing to a local historic district. Architecture The house at 1005 East 8th St. was likely originally constructed as a single story building, with the sloping elevation of the site creating a crawlspace or cellar to the east side of the building footprint. Since its construction, this has been enclosed, and a rear addition built, increasing the enclosed area of the building. However, the U-shaped form and Folk Victorian elements still read legibly, and decorative elements, especially at the front porch and gable ends, remain present. The integrity of the architecture is strong and the property remains contributing to the Robertson/Stuart & Mair historic district.
