Client: Address: OBSERVATION REPORT Bill McKean 2802 Pearce Road, Austin, TX February 1, 2024 On 26 January 2024, George Breehl, Inspection Supervisor, observed the home at the above address to identify health or safety concerns and/or deviation from adopted codes and standards governing existing buildings which have resulted in reported leaks and structural damage in the home. A. Report Limitations Please note, this report is based on the visual examination of the structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing. No intrusive examinations have been performed, and no samples of materials have been taken for laboratory testing. No mold or air quality testing was conducted. No water quality testing was conducted. The observations, opinions, and recommendations are based entirely upon our visual examination, compiled data, and interviews with the tenants/owners as applicable. No detailed structural analysis of existing members has been performed, and no rehabilitation designs are provided in this report. ATS Engineers makes no warranties or guarantees, either expressed or implied, that all items of a deficient nature and/or improper construction techniques, etc. have been discovered and commented upon in this report. This report has been prepared to identify current deficiencies observed on the date of inspection and should not be considered an exhaustive description of every item that may require remedial attention. In some cases, additional examinations may be warranted to fully evaluate the deficiencies noted. Portions of the items inspected were covered, inaccessible or unavailable, therefore, unable to be thoroughly inspected. B. General Description of the Home and Accessory Building The home is a one-story, wood-framed structure, which measures approximately 28 feet across the front and 54 feet along the sides. The exterior consists of natural stone bearing walls with some wood siding. The roof is covered with composition shingles (not original roofing material). Per Travis CAD records, the home was constructed ca. 1910. An accessory building measuring approximately 15 feet by 12 feet was noted at the rear left corner of the property. Like the main home, the building is covered with stacked natural stone, wood siding and composition roof shingles. Based on discussions with the Owner, we understand this property has not been occupied in 53 years. C. General Observations C01. Exterior: The front gable of the house is warped. There is a downward and inward curve of the gable framing. The wood columns at the front porch are leaning inward following the curvature of the gable. The …

FRONT PORCH – ROOF & FRAMING “There is a downward and inward curve of the gable framing. The wood columns at the front porch are leaning inward following the curvature of the gable. The columns appear to be undersized. It was noted that the beam supporting the left side of the porch canopy is rotting with portions missing. The roofing at the front left side of the porch is rotted and falling.” STONEWORK “Large cracks were noted in the wall along the perimeter of the front porch. It was noted that some cracks were more than 1” wide; for reference cracks greater than 1/8” typically require structural repair. It appears that these wider cracks are partial recurrences of larger cracks (up to 3”) that were previously repaired.” FOUNDATION “The right side of the house appears to be a clear path for rain runoff… Part of the foundation along the right side and at the front of the entry porch has been undermined by the erosion… It was noted that the backyard drains towards the back of the house… It appears that the result of this is water migration into these areas of the house… The visible portions of the foundation framing of the house have completely deteriorated.” ROOF “Several holes were noted in the roof. This resulted in wet areas in the house and the rotting of some site-built roof trusses, window headers, and other lumber in the house. It appears that several trusses have been repaired previously… The construction of the roof trusses and the subsequent repairs appear to fall significantly short of acceptable engineering practices. It appears that the roofs of both buildings have begun to collapse.” INTERIOR “In general, the house is open to the elements… The house has an extraordinarily strong smell of mildew… It was also noted that some electrical splices were unprotected…. It was noted that the subfloor of the kitchen and the bathroom, including floor joists and beams, has almost completely rotted away. It was noted that the floor or the bathroom is filled with mildew. It was also noted that the walls were partially covered in mildew… The moisture and smell of the house poses a risk to the health and safety to persons on the property.” CONCLUSIONS “These buildings are dilapidated and unfit for habitation… Based on the number of structural deficiencies noted in the roofs of the main house and …

Architecture Green and White Grocery is a one-story wood frame building sited on the northwest corner of the block. The store is approximately 44’ by 74’, and has its main facade along E. 7th St. The store has had multiple additions since its initial construction in 1938. Sanborn maps, historic photos, and oral histories have helped determine the building’s growth over time, although some additions and modifications appear to have happened without documentation. The store was originally half the size and depth and likely received a rear addition in 1944 and a store enlargement in 1950.1 Subsequent additions to the end of the building after 1965 resulted in its current state. Today, the store is defined by its Craftsman style characteristics including decorative wood brackets and exposed rafter rails beneath the primary roof structure and the first-story awning, and a large clipped gable roof, also known as a jerkinhead roof. The building features composite siding at the exterior walls, asphalt composition shingles, and aluminum doors and windows. The main facade has a classic “Green & White Groc.” sign painted green with custom tube lighting letters. The west elevation has no windows, and the east elevation has a few hopper 1 Norverto, Lopez. “Building Permit.” 44660, Austin, Texas, 1950, Austin History Center.

TO: Planning Commission, Mayor, and Council Members FROM: Historic Landmark Commission DATE: February 7th, 2024 SUBJECT: Historic Pecan Grove Threatened at Edward Rendon Sr. Park The Historic Landmark Commission has been made aware of a pecan grove, located in Edward Rendon Sr. Park at Festival Beach, that the Texas Department of Transportation’s I-35 Expansion Environmental Impact Statement proposes to remove as part of a construction easement outside the existing Right-of-Way. The grove is identified by a granite marker, dedicated to the City of Austin in 1964 as part of early efforts by City Council’s Town Lake Beautification Committee We believe this grove of pecans rises to the status of a local, character-defining, culturally significant, contributing resource of the City of Austin. The Land Development Code entrusts City staff with the health of the Urban Forest, including accurate tree data ground surveys of Heritage trees … according to City of Austin, Environmental Criteria Manual 3.3.2 — General Tree Survey Standards. We recommend direction be given to the City Arborist to identify individual specimens and assess the overall likely boundaries of the Pecan Grove, in order to facilitate our best efforts at perservering this irreplacable resource.
