From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Attachments: Mike McHone Contreras, Kalan 314 Le Grande Ave (demolition) Thursday, August 25, 2022 6:31:17 PM Scan 20220825 (2).pdf *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Hi Kalan, Thanks for the email informing me of the HLC September meeting. I plan to attend in person. I will be prepared to speak if needed. I have attached a professional property inspection report preformed in March. This house has been empty since last August when the long term owner , Mr. Dial, died. His daughter is the executor of his estate which is in probate with her 3 brothers. Unfortunately, one brother has since died and now there are two open probates which need to be settled. It was a surprise for the family to learn that this small worn out and poorly configured house was considered to be a “contributing” structure to the Travis Heights National Historic Register District. This was especially hard to understand given their father’s decades struggle and considerable public testimony against his house being included in any preservation action or zoning. In addition the following support the request for a demolition permit: 1. The house does not meet the criteria for City of Austin designation as a Historic structure 2. The structure does not contribute to the major historical period of Travis Heights 3. The structure is not located on Le Grande Ave. The street has a steep downhill curve and a driveway off the center of the curve onto a gravel drive to the garage of 314 Le Grande (address) . Please let me know if you need additional information. Best regards, Mike CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS SEPTEMBER 7, 2022 HR-2022-120509 OLD WEST AUSTIN 3104 OAKMONT BOULEVARD 18 – 1 ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish a ca. 1949 house and construct a new building and garage apartment. The proposed new residence is two stories, clad in vertical wood siding and brick with a composition shingle roof. It features a compound roofline, integral garage at the south elevation, and an arched inset front door. Windows are generally 2:2 and are set in shed dormers, clad in siding, at the main façade’s second floor. One-story house with horizontal wood siding, 6:6 wood windows, a flat-roofed metal portico, and a hipped corrugated- metal roof. The house at 3104 Oakmont Boulevard was built in 1949 by Emil Wenzel. Its first occupants were Theodore Martin, an Air Force serviceman, and his wife, Kathryn. The Martins sold the property to widow Frances Croisdale, who worked as an office secretary. She lived in the house until at least 1959. The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed building appears appropriately located and set back on the lot. 2. Orientation The proposed building appears oriented toward the primary street, consistent with others on the block. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed building’s stepped-down design appears to soften its otherwise-monolithic massing; however, the adjacent contributing building is one story in height. 4. Proportions The proposed building’s proportions are not consistent with those of nearby contributing buildings; however, most buildings around it are non-contributing. 5. Design and style The proposed design and style appear mostly compatible. 6. Roofs The proposed roof is mostly compatible, except the front-facing shed dormers. 7. Exterior walls While the proposed brick is somewhat compatible, horizontal siding would be more appropriate than vertical, as the current proposed siding emphasizes the two-story building’s verticality. 8. Windows and doors Proposed fenestration appears compatible. 18 – 2 11. Attached garages and carports The proposed garage appears compatible. Summary The project meets some of the applicable standards. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Old West Austin National Register district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to …

(By way of information, our Neighborhood Association only votes to “oppose” or “not oppose;” we do not “support.”). However, since there were no proposed plans online, we strongly recommend to the HRC that the new home be built to “fit in” with Bryker Woods, a member of the Old West Austin Historic District and The National Register of Historic Places. We have noticed with concern the recent new constructions are very similar and are not truly compatible with a Historic Central City neighborhood. We hope you will encourage the architect to be considerate of our neighborhood and its historic contributions to our city. Thank you for your consideration and support.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 7, 2022 PR-2022-116243; GF-2022-120476 1810 DEXTER STREET 26 – 1 Demolish a ca. 1953 house constructed by A. D. Stenger. PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story stone veneer house with exposed rafter tails, a blind front wall, a cross-gabled roof with deep eaves, and concealed entryway. The house at 1810 Dexter Street was built in 1953 by A. D. Stenger in collaboration with the Austin Home Builders’ Association. This “Educational Home” served as a model home for the South Lund Park neighborhood; the Association encouraged potential homebuyers to visit the construction site while the home was being built to showcase its concrete slab and single-story plan “similar to the grand prize winner of a recent architectural competition sponsored by Carrier Air Conditioning Manufacturers.”1 According to a 2008 exhibit of Stenger’s work at the University of Texas: A.D. Stenger was a renowned local developer, architect and builder in Austin during the late 1940s through the late 1990s. Many of his houses are in the Barton Hills area. His career began while he was enrolled as a student in the School of Architecture at The University of Texas at Austin. Stenger spent decades building houses for numerous creative Austinites including humorists John Henry Faulk and Cactus Pryor. Acting as developer, architect and builder, Stenger’s houses reflected modern designs with touches of “homey comfort” in response to a demand for an affordable, modern lifestyle.2, 3 A 2015 zoning change review sheet, prepared by the Historic Preservation Office for another since-demolished Stenger home, describes his legacy as follows: A.D. (Arthur Dallas) Stenger was a prominent mid-century modern designer/builder in Austin. He got his start after passing his professional licensing exam in 1950 while a student at University of Texas School of Architecture. Leaving UT before completing the program, Stenger jumped into the post-war housing boom. Stenger was often compared to prominent California developer Joseph Eichler […]A “Stenger” home has a low-pitch gable roof, pronounced rafter tails, post and beam construction, and conservative footprint, with most buildings being under 1500 square feet, with exposed beams and decking. Stenger also often included walls of collected stone, gable ends that terminate in a projecting point and cantilevered structural systems. Stenger is one of Austin’s most prominent mid-century modern architects and is often credited with establishing the mid-century modern movement in Austin. As a developer/building/architect he was involved with the houses from …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS SEPTEMBER 7, 2022 HR-2022-084104 SEBRON G. SNEED HOUSE 6301 BLUFF SPRINGS ROAD 4.0 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct an apartment complex around the Judge Sebron G. Sneed House ruins erected circa 1857-1860. 1) Construct a three-building apartment complex around the Sebron Sneed House ruins, providing a 25’ buffer zone between the ruins and the pool and other new construction. Proposed buildings are each three stories in height and display Mission Revival stylistic cues; they are clad in stucco and capped with hipped, tiled roofs. Columned arches accent the main entrance to each building. 2) Construct a fence around the ruins. Note: The applicant has provided 2015 correspondence, per Committee feedback, showing that former Preservation Officer Steve Sadowsky requested a mortar analysis and preliminary stabilization plan. The applicant specified that tuck-pointing and consolidation would be implemented following an observation report and recommendation from a masonry restoration contractor and the erection of a double steel fence around the ruins (see backup). RESEARCH & ARCHITECTURE The home on this site was zoned historic in 1979, with the surrounding area rezoned historic in 1980. The house was destroyed by fire in 1989, and the ruins remain. Travis County foreclosed on the home for taxes owed in 2002 and retained the property until a private owner purchased the site from the county in 2006. Invest SmartHomes Inc owned it from 2006-2009, then The Foresight Foundation from 2009-2011. Since 2011, the property has toggled ownership between the same companies: IndoPak Investments, Inc and The Circle at The Nelms. In 1854, Judge Sebron G. Sneed moved his entire family from Fayetteville, Arkansas, to his newly acquired 470-acre farm south of the present city of Austin. Construction of a permanent family residence was begun shortly after that in 1857 and continued for five years. War stopped the work, and the house, never entirely completed, lacked its intended porches and interior finishes.1 The stone for the walls was quarried on the property and finished by hand. Lumber for the floors, roof, and finish material was acquired from the Lost Pine Forest at Bastrop, Texas, 30 miles east of the residence site. A Historic American Building Survey (HABS TX - 399) dated 2/3/1937 described the house as follows: “ This native limestone residence is located one mile off the Austin-San Antonio Highway on the Austin-Lockhart Highway, near Austin, Travis County. …
