From: To: Subject: Date: Historic Preservation Office 607 E. 38th Street Monday, June 30, 2025 8:37:53 PM [You don't often get email from https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ] . Learn why this is important at External Email - Exercise Caution Hi, We understand that a demo permit for the 607 E. 38th St is in front of the commission on Wednesday, and as a family who lives in the neighborhood we are concerned about the demolition of a potential historically significant house to maybe be replaced by a who knows what ugly box like those appearing all over Austin. That would be very detrimental to the character of this very historic neighborhood. We urge you not to approve this demo. A renovation and addition would be a much better way to utilize this site and preserve the historic nature of this house and neighborhood which is so important to our community.

Barbara Epstein 701 Texas Ave Austin TX 78705 1 July 2025 Austin Landmark Commission (by email) Dear Sirs: As a nearby neighor, I oppose the demolition application at 607 E. 38th St. because it meets at least two of the requirements for historic designation: it is more than 50 years old, it retains distinct architectural characteristics of an architectural style since it was built originally as a Craftsman style duplex, unlike other structures converted into duplexes. Most notably, 607 E. 38th St. has community value because its location on a highly visible street, along with other intact original structures along 38th St., significantly contribute to the character and image of the neighborhood because 38th St. is a gateway to the neighborhood and its historic events and residents. The applicant did not appear at the previous hearing and has not indicted an intent to build anything architecturally compatible with the neighborhood. If this application is granted, and as previously proposed, a 4,000 sq. ft. structure takes its place, the properties along 38th St. will likely domino one by one, and our historic neighborhood will disappear forever. So we depend on you, the members of the Landmark Commission to value the significance of our historic architecture and our neighborhood, even if the structure in question is not a mansion or the prior residence of a famous person. Sincerely, Barbara Epstein

Exmouth Holdings TX LLC Date: June 25, 2025 Historic Preservation Office Permitting and Development Center 6310 Wilhelmina Delco Drive Austin, TX 78752 RE: Letter of Support and Project Intent for Redevelopment at 300 W 34th Street, Austin, TX Dear Members of the Historic Preservation Office, As the developer of the proposed redevelopment project at 300 W 34th Street, I want to express my full commitment to a project that enhances our neighborhood by revitalizing a long-neglected property and delivering much-needed housing in one of Austin’s high- demand areas. The existing structure at this address has been in poor condition and underutilized for some time. Preserving the structure is not economically feasible due to the deteriorated condition of the foundation. Please see the detailed report prepared by Higgins Designs. Furthermore, the dwelling does not currently sit in the right lot location, making restoration and redevelopment of the existing structure inefficient and impractical. Our plan is to thoughtfully redevelop the site with a new residence that is not only architecturally consistent with the character of the neighborhood, but also built with long- term sustainability, energy efficiency, and livability in mind. The proposed home will use modern, high-performance materials and systems to ensure low energy use, reduced environmental impact, and future-proofed design that meets the challenges of our evolving climate. We are committed to smart density, and while the site will retain a residential scale, it will introduce additional, well-designed housing capacity that aligns with the city’s goals of promoting infill development near transit, jobs, and services. Lastly, we are exploring options to salvage part of the building materials so that they could be repurposed or re-used. We have taken great care to ensure that the new design respects the fabric of the existing community. It will enhance the streetscape, improve public safety through better lighting and accessibility, and raise the overall standard of housing on this block. As a stakeholder in this neighborhood, we believe that this project represents responsible, community-centered development. Thank you for your consideration, and we look forward to contributing positively to the growth and vibrancy of this part of Austin. Sincerely, James Khedari Director, Exmouth Holdings TX LLC

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JULY 2, 2025 HR-2025-060692 HYDE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 4411 AVENUE B 10.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a rear two-story addition. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct an addition at the rear of the existing house, which contributes to the Hyde Park local historic district. Addition is proposed to be two-stories in height and located directly behind the existing one-story building. ARCHITECTURE The house at 4411 Avenue B is a single-story house with a corner inset porch that is supported by two wood posts. The building is elevated on piers with the crawlspace covered in a concrete skirt. The walls are clad in narrow teardrop siding with fascia above. A hipped roof clad in metal covers the entire house and is set at a moderate pitch. The front and side windows all appear to be original wood frames and covered in screens. The front entry is at the rear of the inset porch. Overall, the house has excellent integrity and is good condition. DESIGN STANDARDS The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 4. Residential Standards: Additions to Contributing Single Family and Multi-Family Structures 4.1. Preservation of Historic Character Any removal of original fabric is located entirely at the rear elevation. Though a two-story addition, it excellently reflects the form and style of the main house and overall district. 4.2. Location Addition is at the rear and will be minimally visible from the street. 4.3. Roof, Fenestration, and Siding Roof pitch and form matches the existing front house. Though likely not visible from the street, two second story windows on the front elevation are matching the configuration of the historic. Proposed siding is compatible with the existing. 4.4. Size and Scale of Addition Both floors of the addition match the floor-to-ceiling height of the original house. Second floor does not begin until over 15 feet from the front of the house and does not visually overwhelm the building. Summary The project meets the applicable standards. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK Reduce the overall verticality of the addition if possible and refine the roof pitch to further reduce the visibility of the addition from the street. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the application. LOCATION MAP 10.0 – 2 PROPERTY INFORMATION Photos 10.0 – 3 Permit application, 2025 Zillow listing, 2025

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JULY 2, 2025 PR-2025-029950; GF-2025-033059; HR-2025-056344 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 1703 ALAMEDA DRIVE 14.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1939 house and construct a residence. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish the existing one-story house, which contributes to the National Register district. Construct a two-story house in generally the same location on the lot. ARCHITECTURE Built in a simple, minimal traditional form, the house at 1703 Alameda Drive is set at grade slightly above the street and is rectangular in plan with a small front porch cutout at one corner. The exterior is clad in horizontal wood siding, and original screen are present at the four front windows, along with a screen door at the rear of the porch for the main entry. There is minimal overhang from the hipped roof, which is clad in composition shingle. The house features numerous windows on all sides, typically paired or arranged in three units, side-by-side. A pier-and-beam foundation supports the one-story structure. The house is in good condition and has seen minimal alterations since construction. RESEARCH After construction around 1939, the house was first owned by Hiram & Doris Brown, who worked at local businesses such as Texas Cleaners & Shoe Repair. The Browns owned the property through World War II, and shortly after was sold to Charles & Bertha Kinney. Charles Kinney worked as a salesman and Bertha worked for many years as a clerk at the Internal Revenue Service. For a time, their adult son lived with them while attending the University of Texas. DESIGN STANDARDS 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 Proposed construction is generally on the same footprint as the existing house and matches setback to other houses on the street. 2. Orientation The proposed residence is oriented towards the street, like the existing house and neighbors on the same street. 3. Scale, massing, and height Generally, the neighbors on the same street have single-story houses or, if there is a second floor, it is setback from the front or visually hidden by a side-gabled roof. There is no setback in this design, nor does the plan call for breaking up the height …

1703 Alameda Goal • The owners are seeking approval for demolition to transform the property to better suit their needs and those of their aging family members. • They are committed to meeting the design standards and Alameda’s characteristics/influence • As the existing structure lacks “strong architectural elements”, we propose a solution that will: • Complement the district’s aesthetic and heritage • While meeting the homeowners’ functional needs Response to questions posed at ARC • Comment made: • Design/Exterior Materials: • Questions about consistency and appropriateness in the historic setting. • Observed that the design appears to take inspiration from a new neighboring house (stucco), rather than fitting the established character of the street. • Response • Updated with Craftsman-style elements and inspiration from the current house, reflecting the design principles of the Arts and Crafts period prevalent on Alameda Street • Mixed Materials: Combination of Sidings and Natural Wood • Decorative Trim: Board and Batten & Horizontal Siding with a lower siding detail to reflect the porch railing of the craftsman style • Decorative Brackets • Low Pitched Gabled Roof with large overhanging eaves • Inset Porches • Large Grouped Windows 1703 Alameda Dr – Updated Elevations 1703 Alameda Dr – Updated Elevations 1703 Alameda Dr – Rough Rendering 1703 Alameda Dr – Rough Rendering Response to questions posed at ARC • Comment made: • Garage Placement and Grade Issues: • Response • Visitability main living area was the primary focus • 5’ elevation gain (526’-532’) in the house footprint • Combination of excavation in the back yard to help reduce the overall height of the house and grading in the front of the house to help blend the driveway to the natural grade will be used • Concerns about the garage being set lower relative to the main floor, producing a split-level effect. • Questions about the site plan's handling of natural grade and the garage's elevation, with some confusion based on the submitted drawings. Area of Excavation Roughly 4’ of Elevation Change Influencing Contributing Houses on Alameda St 1507 Alameda Dr Contributing 1517 Alameda Dr Contributing 1809 Alameda Dr Contributing Response to questions posed at ARC • Comment made: • Suggestions included reconsidering the prominent arch (possibly removing it or replacing with a framed opening) to help scale and reduce visual disjunction. • Response • Replaced with an inset Craftsman-style porch for improved proportionality. • Removed imposing …

Burleson Smith 306 W. 34th St. Austin, TX 78705 Date: June 26, 2025 Historic Preservation Office Permitting and Development Center 6310 Wilhelmina Delco Drive Austin, TX 78752 RE: Letter of Support for Redevelopment at 300 W 34th Street, Austin, TX Dear Members of the Planning Commission, I am writing as a neighbor and local resident in strong support of the proposed residential redevelopment at 300 W 34th Street. As someone who lives in the immediate area, I believe this project represents a thoughtful and much-needed investment in our neighborhood. The 34th Street corridor is an essential part of central Austin, offering walkable access to key amenities, public transportation, and the University of Texas campus. Enhancing housing availability in this location is both practical and aligned with the city's goals of increasing urban density in well-connected areas. From what I understand, the redevelopment will replace an aging structure with new, high- quality housing that is more energy-efficient, safer, and better suited to meet current needs. housing choices for students, young professionals, and long-time residents alike. Far from disrupting the character of our neighborhood, this redevelopment has the potential to enhance it bringing renewed vitality and ensuring that this area remains a desirable and accessible place to live. As housing pressures grow across Austin, I appreciate forward-looking projects like this one that seek to add supply in a responsible, community- conscious way. I respectfully urge the Planning Commission and all reviewing bodies to approve the proposal and allow this much-needed investment in our neighborhood to move forward. Sincerely, Burleson Smith
