HDP-2015-0856 705 W. 32nd Street Council District 9 Proposal: Demolish a ca. 1912 house. Applicant: DAR Construction City Staff: Steve Sadowsky, Historic Preservation Office, 974-6454 Staff Recommendation: Postpone to October 26, 2015 to evaluate alternatives to demolition
CITIZEN COMMUNICATION: GENERAL The first three speakers signed up prior to the meeting being called to order will each be allowed a three-minute allotment to address their concerns regarding items not posted on the agenda.
C14H-2015-0082 Rainey House 3941 Balcones Drive Council District 10 Applicant: Phoebe Allen City Staff: Steve Sadowsky, Historic Preservation Office, 974-6454 Staff Recommendation: Recommend historic zoning.
C14H-2015-0002 414 Waller Street and 1101 E. 5th Street Consider the additional buildings at the Pine Street Station site for historic zoning. Council District 3 Applicant: Liz Purcell City Staff: Steve Sadowsky, Historic Preservation Office, 974-6454 Staff Recommendation: Staff cannot recommend designation of the additional buildings as historic landmarks. The original building has been designated as a historic landmark and has been approved for relocation to another railroad-related site in East Austin. The additional buildings proposed by the applicant for historic designation are 1950s additions to the original building, and since the original building is moving to a new site, there does not seem sufficient justification for the additional buildings to have landmark designation as well. Staff recommends archival documentation of the entire complex prior to the removal of any building from the site.
C14H-2015-0013 Sparks House 1510 West Avenue Council District 9 Applicants: Terry and Suzanne Burgess, owners City Staff: Steve Sadowsky, Historic Preservation Office, 974-6454 Staff Recommendation: Recommend historic zoning.
Council District 8 Proposal: Addition, exterior changes Applicant: Madhu Phillips City Staff: Beth Johnson, Historic Preservation Office, 974-7801 Committee Recommendation: Reviewed and supports the proposal with changes that the applicant has incorporated into the submitted plans. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness as all of the changes to the property are in keeping with the architecture of the property. The additions and changes to the fenestration are on the sides and rear and are inconspicuous.
C14H-1989-0010 Dabney Horne House 507 W. 23rd Street Council District 9 Proposal: Relocate the original part of the house to 901 Shoal Cliff Court, next to the proposed landmark Clyde and Henrietta Littlefield House. Applicant: David Kanne City Staff: Steve Sadowsky, Historic Preservation Office, 974-6454 Committee Recommendation: Not reviewed. Staff Recommendation: Approve as proposed. The Dabney-Horne house will be dwarfed by a proposed adjacent parking garage at its current site. Moving the house to the Shoal Cliff Court site retains the context of the house in the University neighborhood, and places it in a more residential setting.
