Ned A. Cole helped select Austin as the site of the experiment through his role as chairman of the National Association of Home Builders air-conditioning subcommittee, served as project manager for the construction, and designed seven of the houses. H. D. Powers designed five houses, J. Eugene Wukasch designed two, and Fred Winfield Day, Jr., W. R. Coleman, and Oran Vaughan each designed one home in the Village. While some found more critical acclaim in their careers than others, collectively their work is representative of mid-century residential design in Austin’s middle class, suburban neighborhoods. Ned Ansel Cole (1917–2008) Ned Ansel Cole was born in Ferris, Texas. He earned a degree in architecture with honors from the University of Texas at Austin in 1939 and subsequently began building houses and teaching in the architecture department. Drafted into the U.S. Army in 1941, Cole served in the South Pacific building infrastructure on Guam and in the Philippines.215 Cole returned to Austin after World War II and with three other veterans founded Fabricon, Inc. The firm designed and produced innovative prefabricated wall storage units that would serve as a centerpiece of Cole’s residential architecture. The founders constructed their factory building in modular sections in a rented garage, before the ultimate site of the facility at 4601 East Fifth Street in Austin had been selected and obtained. The hand-cast concrete block cornerstone of the building reads, “Fabricon, built by four soldiers with their bare hands, 1 June 1946.” In place of traditional site-built, load-bearing walls, the Fabricon wall units turned room dividers into organized storage with built-in sliding doors and drawers. An Austin Statesman article characterized the units as a modern space-saving measure in contrast with outmoded storage methods—“Room-consuming closets, cabinets and trunks are completely out.” 216 Cole’s role in the company was designing …

The Geller house embodied the optimistic, now-vanished values of postwar suburbia: technological progress and a lifestyle built around children’s needs. CRITIC’S NOTEBOOK By James S. Russell Feb. 6, 2022 Updated 4:21 p.m. ET LAWRENCE, N.Y. — “Are people going to care about one little house?” asked Elizabeth Waytkus, who had been alerted some weeks ago to the possibility that a once-celebrated house by the architect Marcel Breuer would be demolished. She is the executive director of Docomomo US, a nonprofit organization that promotes the preservation of modern structures. People did care, it turns out. She has received an outpouring of dismay and grief at the news that the 1945 Bertram and Phyllis Geller House in Lawrence, at the southwestern edge of Nassau County, had been demolished without warning on Jan. 26 by the current owners, Shimon and Judy Eckstein, who Waytkus said had assured her only three weeks earlier that they had admired it and had no plans to take it down. It was a handsome composition of three cedar-sided single-story wings, that zigzagged among the trees and shrubs of a spacious site, each wing topped with a low-sloped roof that gave the house an undulating silhouette. The house had been significantly, but not irreversibly, altered, according to pictures on a real estate website. The living room stonewall and fireplace is all that remains of the Geller House since its demolition in January. An Rong Xu for The New York Times Her question makes a larger point, however. The Geller house was rapturously covered by the press at its debut because it appealed to an America that was obsessed with making a better life after enduring sacrifices of World War II and the grinding bleakness of the Great Depression. It was “among the most famous houses of the period,” said Barry Bergdoll, a Breuer expert, who teaches architectural history at Columbia University and was the chief curator of architecture at the Museum of Modern Art. Yet it had fallen into a kind of obscurity, well known mainly to aficionados. Preserving individual houses is difficult and expensive, explained Waytkus, first because they are private. Docomomo’s modest resources are mostly focused on the preservation of commercial, cultural, and civic buildings because they are generally accessible to the …
Why Does the Demolition of a Marcel Breuer House Matter? - The New... https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/06/arts/design/marcel-breuer-geller-h... Marcel Breuer, who helped shape 20th century architecture and design, at the Geller House in 1945. Ezra Stoller/Esto With the rise of the Nazis, Breuer, who was Jewish, would move several times, finally settling in Cambridge, Mass., in 1937, where he practiced and taught with his Bauhaus colleague Walter Gropius at Harvard. Gregarious and charming, “Lajko” became close friends with many clients, including the Gellers, who would hire him to design another house in Lawrence, in 1967. (For this reason the original Geller house is now known by preservationists as Geller I.) The house has been added to but remains largely the way it was built. In a series of houses with Gropius, Breuer would soften the crisp cubic forms, white plaster or metal surfaces, and dramatic cantilevers of his Bauhaus work. Geller was designed as Breuer was parting ways with Gropius and moving to New York. In this house, Breuer more fully merged his stylistic tendencies with American building techniques. The conventional wood construction was clad in vertical cedar siding that gave a sleek planar feeling. Inside, he used thin panels of varnished plywood and contrasted them with expanses of saturated paint colors in the mode of Modern artists. Jackson Pollock made one of his early drip paintings — sold long ago — for the house. Breuer anchored this lightweight architecture to the earth with a living-room wall and massive fireplace of fieldstone. Low stone walls projected into the landscape to demarcate places for play and relaxation. You could argue that the old-fashioned masonry harkens to traditions Americans cling to — or that the stone is simply a sensual counterpoint to the sleek planes of the rest of the design. Many of the ideas Breuer had refined in Geller would appear in a house he designed that was built in MoMA’s garden in 1949, broadcasting its ideas to an international audience. “Both the Geller and MoMA houses were intended to be replicable,” said Bergdoll, “a house that a local contractor could build.” 3 of 4 2/6/22, 6:59 PM 1 of 2B-11 Why Does the Demolition of a Marcel Breuer House Matter? - The New... https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/06/arts/design/marcel-breuer-geller-h...

February 18, 2022 Case Number: SPC-2021-0129C Planning Commission Renee Johns / Cindy Edmond City of Austin, Development Services Department PO Box 1088 Austin TX 78767 To whom it may concern: The Shore condominiums object to this case due to trying to utilize the alley for access for parking garage. The current alley to the south has dumpsters from the 70 Rainey project preventing 2-way access to the proposed location. To the North, there is also limited width and the Van Zandt hotel having its loading dock at the location and deliveries there will have their delivery trucks parked there completely blocking the alley to the North. The plans submitted by the developer also show Red River street accessing the alley location. This is incorrect. That area is a private drive for the Van Zandt Hotel garage access and The Shore Condominiums garage access. We are not in favor in granting our private land for access to a large development that threatens our residents, employees, and guests. The traffic pattern of this project is not in the best interests of their future residents or our current residents. Please do not approve this layout. Sincerely, James Reist General Manager The Shore Condominium Association 603 Davis Street Austin, TX 78701 512-473-8600 (P) 512-473-8602 (F) Dear Ms. Johns, I am writing to object to this case (to use of the alley between Red River and Rainey Streets, bounded by Davis Street to the north and the private driveway of the VanZandt and the Shore to the south) as the access to the 80 Rainey St. project.) This alley is barely passable as it is with many garbage dumpsters and trucks unloading materials for and servicing businesses on Rainey Street. Residents trying to exit the Shore Condominiums when Red River has been closed for construction, have been threatened with vehicular harm when confronted by a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction, even if our driver was 75% of the way through the alley. The entire Rainey Street area, from Driskill to River Street and from Rainey to Red River Street, is becoming increasingly dense with no apparent upgrades to the streets and sidewalks to accommodate the increase in both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The plan also shows that the private drive for the VanZandt and The Shore will serve as access to their garage. As an owner of a unit at the Shore, I am …
MEMORANDUM ______ February 2, 2022 Boards and Commissions Kerri Lang, FSD - Budget Officer FY 2022-23 Budget Process and Calendar TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Resident and stakeholder feedback on budget priorities, including input from the City’s various boards and commissions, remains a key component of the annual budget development process. The FY 2021-22 Budget included investments in community priorities such as, critical infrastructure, cultural and creative spaces, and a renewal in our commitment to advancing progress within the transformative Reimagining Public Safety (RPS) framework. Since the 3.5% tax revenue cap took effect in FY 2020-21, the City has implemented measures aimed at flattening the organization’s cost curve, as well as identifying potential new revenue streams. These measures have helped allow the City to propose a balanced budget. However, the financial outlook for the City continues to project expenditures exceeding revenue. Thus, it remains crucial to focus recommendations and to provide feedback on the efficiency, equity, and effectiveness of the City’s existing services and programs. As in previous years, the Budget Office will coordinate with City departments to review recommendations passed by boards and commissions. We are requesting recommendations be submitted online at www.austintexas.gov/budget. All recommendations must be received by March 31, 2022. This will allow the Budget Office the necessary time to review the recommendations with Department staff. For your information, the Council-approved calendar for the FY 2022-23 budget is shown below: • March 31 • May 6 • July 15 • July 27 • August 17 Board and Commission recommendations due to the Budget Office Department budgets due to the Budget Office Presentation of the FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget to City Council Community Input Session Budget Adoption Additional information can be found at www.austintexas.gov/budget. Should you have any questions, please contact our office at BudgetQA@austintexas.gov. cc: Spencer Cronk, City Manager Assistant City Managers Ed Van Eenoo, Chief Financial Officer, Financial Services Department

The conditional overlay is for a maximum building height of 60 feet. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: February 8, 2022 Scheduled for Planning Commission January 11, 2022 Approved Applicant’s request to postpone to February 8, 2022 on the consent agenda. Vote: 12-0. [Commissioner Azhar – 1st, Commissioner Connolly – 2nd; Commissioner Howard was absent]. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: March 3, 2022 Scheduled for City Council ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES Staff has received comments on this rezoning request. For all written or emailed comments, please see Exhibit C: Correspondence Received. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: This property is located on the south side of W. 11th Street and is approximately 0.15 acres in size. It is currently zoned LO and is developed with a single-family residential unit. Adjacent 1 of 23B-2 C14-2021-0174 2 zoning consists of GO-MU to the east and LO to the west. Across the alley to the south and to the north across W. 11th Street are properties zoned GO, please see Exhibit A: Zoning Map and Exhibit B: Aerial Map. The applicant is requesting DMU zoning to allow for a higher intensity of use and a mix of commercial and residential uses. This block of the Downtown Austin Plan (DAP) has identified a mixture of DMU-40 and DMU-60 properties. While the DAP identifies this property as DMU- 40, it is surrounded by DMU-60 properties on three sides. Additionally, within this area there have been three rezoning cases in the last two years where the City Council has approved DMU- CO with height limits of either 60 or 90 feet. Within the applicant’s rezoning application, they stated they were agreeable to a conditional overlay to limit the building height to 60 feet on the property. Staff supports the addition of this CO. The Downtown Austin Plan does not have a future land use map (FLUM) and therefore does not require a neighborhood plan amendment (NPA) to be considered with the rezoning request. …

TOD-MU is the most intensively developed mixed use subdistrict and requires active ground floor uses. TOD-MU also requires a minimum 2-story building. The Applicant also proposes utilizing the Plaza Saltillo TOD Density Bonus tool which allows increased floor-to-area ratio (FAR) for developments that include affordable residential units or pays a fee-in-lieu to Housing and Planning Department (HPD). The Applicant has stated their intent to develop a 5-story hotel. To achieve the increased FAR, the Applicant proposes increasing the building height from 35 feet to 60 feet. Since the project does not include any residential units, the Applicant will be required to pay a fee-in- lieu to HPD. This is already administratively permitted by the TOD. (Please see Exhibit C- Applicant Letter). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located on the north side of East 7th Street between Comal Street and Concho Street.
