HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS SEPTEMBER 7, 2022 HR-2022-112041 TRAVIS HEIGHTS- FAIRVIEW PARK 2110 KENWOOD 14.0 – 1 PROPOSAL New construction of an ADU and demolition of a carport. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolition of the existing carport. 2) New construction of a two-story ADU in the rear of the primary, contributing, single-family residential house. Materials: Horizontal wooden siding and stucco. 3) ADU will have two car garage on the first floor and a residence on the second floor and be oriented with an entrance towards the alley. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS Residential new construction 1. Location The primary residence is a one-story, brick, Ranch style, single-family residence built circa 1961. It has been painted white. It has a low pitch pyramidal roof, a large picture window flanked by two smaller sections of multiple lights, and a single door entry composing an asymmetrical façade. There is a partial roof porch under the main roof form. Research shows that water and wastewater permits in the name of Miss Mary Mellon were issued in January of 1961. 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: The ADU is sited at the rear of the property and behind the primary contributing property. It is is compatible with the historic design guidelines. 1.3 Locate accessory buildings in a way that follows the historic location and setback patterns of similar buildings on the block or in the district. Garage apartments, detached garages, and other accessory buildings are typically located at the rear of the lot, behind and to the side of the front building. 3. Scale, massing, proportions and height The ADU’s two story height and proportions detracts from the primary contributing structure but the rear placement and setback on the lot helps to offset the height. 3.6 Design accessory buildings to be visually subordinate to the primary building in height, massing, and form, as viewed from the street. 5. Design and style The design and style of the ADU is of simple, clean lines, with wood and stucco materials, not dissimilar to Mid-Century Modern buildings. Its placement at the rear of the property helps it appear further sympathetic, and it does not compete with the Ranch Style of the primary house …

No plans for new construction have been submitted. One-story cross-gabled Minimal Traditional house with cut-stone veneer, simple wood frieze and pilasters, and 6:6 wood windows. 1200 Marshall Lane was built in 1939 for Mrs. Jennie Davis. Jennie Davis worked as a clerk at the State Highway Department, and shared the home with her son, Sam Davis, until he joined the Army and was sent to Fort Sam Houston to work as a medical technician in 1941. Davis then rented portions of her home to tenants, including a lawyer and a university student, throughout the 1950s. 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 retain moderate integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building displays a Minimal Traditional interpretation of Colonial Revival-style influences. b. Historical association. The property does not appear to have significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The property does not possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that contributes to the character, image, or cultural identity of the city, the neighborhood, or a particular demographic group. e. Landscape feature. The property is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city.

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish existing residence. 2) Construct a two- and one-half story house. The proposed building is clad in stucco with vertical wood accent siding and painted steel panels. It is capped by a compound hipped, flat, and shed roof of standing-seam metal. Fenestration includes undivided sliders, fixed, and casement windows, as well as fully glazed doors. A flat-roofed porch extends at the first level to form a carport. 3) Construct a two-story garage apartment. The proposed building is attached to the main house by a flat steel trellis and is clad to match. Fenestration is simple and the gabled roof is of standing-seam metal. 4) Construct a swimming pool. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS One-story Minimal Traditional house with partial-width porch, 1:1 windows, cross-gabled roof, and masonry veneer. The house at 1206 Marshall Lane was built in 1946 by K. S. DeBusk. Its first owner was Louise P. Dolman, who worked as a clerk at the State Adjutant General and the IRS. Following Dolman’s departure, it was occupied by salesman Clyde Achols and State Education Agency consultant Margaret Scholl. 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 buildings appear appropriately sited and set back. 2. Orientation The proposed buildings’ orientations appear consistent with contributing buildings on the block. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed building’s height is one-half story taller than the tallest surrounding building. Its irregular massing is mitigated by the horizontal front porch and carport and stepped-down flat roof. 4. Proportions The main building’s proportions are not compatible with nearby contributing buildings. 5. Design and style The proposed buildings’ design and style appear consistent and differentiated, though they do not appear to take cues from the surrounding district. 6. Roofs The proposed compound roofline does not appear compatible. 7. Exterior walls While the proposed stucco cladding is somewhat compatible, the metal accent panels are not; horizontal siding would be more compatible than vertical. 8. Windows and doors The proposed irregular fenestration is not compatible with nearby contributing …

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.
