Solar in Cherrywood
By Sunshine Mathon
At least once a month, I get a
comment, question or inquiry about
the solar panels on my house. This
article provides a primer for folks
interested in
solar power in our
neighborhood.
To answer additional questions,
the Cherrywood
Neighborhood
Association will
set aside time for
further discussion
at upcoming meetings.
Financial Incentives
Federal Income Tax Credit: This
is a great incentive. It is a one-time
tax credit for 30% of the material and
labor costs for installation. Since
this is a tax credit, not a tax deduction, you get the full 30% back. One
caveat: the tax credit is set to expire
at the end of 2016, unless Congress
miraculously takes action to extend
it. More information is available at
Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency, dsireusa.org.1
Austin Energy Solar Rebate: We
have one of the best municipal incentives in the country, so use it! The
rebate amount is currently $0.90/
Watt, which equates to roughly 2025% of the installed cost. However,
the rebate will be reduced over time
as more solar is installed in the City.
The reduction will not necessarily
align with solar pricing changes, so
the earlier you take advantage, the

Lines, Sides, and Points
By Darryl Wimberley
What an awesome thing, a Line.
Its ends stretch limitless.
It divides one side from another.
And Sides . . . Oh! A mighty mountain, they.
Opposed across their Line-thin channel,
Unalterable in strength and passion.
But Points?
Ah. Embarrassing to Lines and Sides.
For Points are places where,
In very small regions,
Lines and Sides must meet.
.
A fault no limitless Line,
Or unalterable side,
Is likely to admit in conversation.
It’s a Point, you see, they have in common.
DARRYL WIMBERLEY has been recognized for
both novels noir and literary work. “A Tinker’s
Damn” won the ForeWord Award for Best Literary
Novel in 2001. “The King of Colored Town” was
the first novel to garner the Willie Morris Award
for Fiction in 2007. “Paul Bunyan,” published in
2015, was described by author David Galef as so
vivid, you can smell the wood shavings. Darryl
writes, works, and lives with his family in Austin.

Advocacy in Action:
Maplewood Families Act to Keep 6th Grade Teacher
By Torie Camp and Melanie Chasteen
Last month, many Cherrywooders saw advocacy in action as they drove by Maplewood Elementary on the morning of September
24 where more than 80 students, parents, alumni, friends and neighbors successfully staged a protest to advocate for the return of 6th
grade teacher Mr. Wetherold.
Several weeks into the school year, Mr. Wetherold was involuntarily transferred because of Austin ISD’s system of ‘leveling’, which
moves teachers from one campus to another typically to reduce class sizes to at or below the state mandated 22:1 ratio. Because the
state cap only applies to grades K-4, Mr. Wetherold was selected by the district for the transfer and Maplewood was forced to collapse
its two 6th grade classes into one.
The result was twenty-eight 12 year olds
packed into a single classroom, with an
empty room next door. The remaining
teacher had to lesson-plan for all four core
subjects (Math, Science, Language Arts

and Social Studies) as well as differentiate

better. Also, Austin has one of the lowest
pre-incentive installed costs for solar in the
country.
Requirements for the Rebate:
▪ Good solar access. East, west, and
south-facing roofs work.
▪ A roof in good condition with 10+ years
of life left
▪ A Home Performance Audit for houses
11+ years old. The audit is free, but they
often find things to improve, such as attic
insulation or air sealing. You must do
everything recommended by the audit to
get the rebate, which is good, as the recommended changes frequently result in a
faster payback than solar alone.
▪ Use of an Austin Energy-approved solar
installation company. There are lots of
them, so get two or three bids.
year solar is installed, you can submit a
property tax exemption for the value of the
installation. More information is available
at dsireusa.org.3
about 4.5 kWh of solar panels would be:
Your Energy Bill With Solar
Energy Production (energy produced x Value
of Solar Credit): 450 kWh x $0.113/kWh
= $50.85 (credit)
Energy Consumption & Solar Credit Value:
Once solar is installed on your home, you
continue to get billed for your energy consumption based on kilowatt-hours (kWh)
consumed. However, you receive a solar
production credit or Value of Solar Credit,
which offsets your consumption cost.
Austin Energy credits you for every kWh
you produce, regardless of whether it was
consumed by your household or sent “up
the grid.” Credit varies yearly because it
is tied to the cost of natural gas, and Austin
Energy uses a lot of natural gas in its fuel
mix. It factors in the ancillary costs of
energy transmission and represents the true
value of the energy offset to Austin Energy,
as provided by local homeowners producing
solar energy. Over the last three years, the
credit has varied from 10.7–12.8 cents/kWh.
Energy Consumption (energy consumed x
consumption rate): 500 kWh x $0.06575/kWh
= -$32.88 (debit)
Result = $17.97 (credit)
Even though less energy was produced
than consumed, this household would receive
a $17.97 credit for the billing period. The
credit is automatically applied to other
Austin Energy fees, and any remaining credit
amount accrues to the next month. Note the
credit applies to Austin Energy fees only, and
not Austin Water Utility, trash and recycling,
or other costs.
The Bottom Line
It is not uncommon for your solar investment to be paid back in 5–7 years, considering the incentives and Value of Solar Credit.

Cherrywood Land Use Changes
By Girard Kinney, AIA
Girard Kinney has been active in the Cherrywood Neighborhood Association for over
twenty years and served as chair of the Land
Use and Transportation committee.
SIDE STREET YARD PORCHES
ON CORNER LOTS
Current City-wide code allows
covered or uncovered porches, open
on three sides, to extend 5 feet into the
front set-back line on residential lots.
Background
Cherrywood adopted a vision for the
neighborhood with the primary goal
safe, walkable streets about 15 years
ago, and that caused me to propose an
amendment to the Land Development
Code five years later that would enable
neighborhoods to opt in to a provision
that allows porches to extend closer to
the front yard setback, to within 15 feet
of the front property line.
After a concerted effort by several
of us Cherrywooders, the Planning
Commission and City Council adopted
the provision, as did the Cherrywood
sub-district of Upper Boggy Creek. As
a result, covered porches in front yards,
open on three sides, can extend closer
to the street, allowing a better relationship between people on their front
porches and pedestrians passing by and
facilitating eyes on the street for a safe
community.
Earlier this year, I learned that neither
of the provisions, the one we proposed
or the city-wide one, allows porches
located on the side street of corner
lots to extend any distance into those
setbacks. The result of this fact is that
entry porches or other porches facing
the side street must respect the 15-foot
building setback, thus generally preventing wrap-around porches on corner
lots, or covered entry porches on street
side yards.
Proposed Amendment
I proposed a simple amendment to § 252-513 of the Land Development Code to
allow covered, open porches to extend
into street side yards on corner lots
in Austin.1 The Cherrywood Neighborhood Association and the Austin
Pedestrian Advisory Council have en-

dorsed the proposed amendment. I also
requested support from Austin AIA and
other groups. The proposed amendment
was received favorably by the Planning
Commission Subcommittee and forwarded to City staff for their review, and I
anticipate that the proposal will proceed
to the Planning Commission and City
Council for adoption.
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS
For most of this year, an effort to amend
the provisions of the City of Austin Land
Development Code with respect to Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) has been
underway. The City Council has passed,
on second reading, an ordinance which:
1) Reduces building separation from 15
feet to 10 feet.
2) Allows an entrance within 10 feet of
a property line.
3) Removes driveway placement requirement.
4) Reduces parking requirement from
two to one off-street space for all secondary units.
5) Prohibits use as Type 2 Short Term

Dane’s Body Shop - New Business in the ‘Hood
By Rachael Reed
Picking heavy things up and putting them down. I could
never have predicted that this would be my favorite new pastime. You may be curious about the repurposed dry cleaners
on Manor and Walnut. Dane’s Body Shop is a locally-owned,
small business offering fitness, strength and yoga classes. The
original location is in Hyde Park. Dane Krager, a native Austinite, is the owner and founder. I certainly
don’t know all of the ins
and outs of fitness and
weight training; I can
only tell you what I’ve
experienced at DBS.
A couple of years ago,
I started searching for
a new fitness regimen
because my running days
had come to a bitter end. I
tried a boot camp, but got
injured right away. Yoga is
not my cup of tea. Indoor,
air-conditioned mega gyms
just make me sad.
Luckily, I found the Hyde
Park location of DBS. I was
of course concerned that
my “special” knee issues
would prevent me from doing
these fun, new-to-me fitness movements and weight work,
but from day one, the coaches have been nothing but accommodating and encouraging. They never make anyone feel conspicuous. Now I’m in better shape overall, and can definitely see a
difference in my strength and mobility. And it’s fun.
Here is how it works: an hour-long workout is written on a
dry erase board, and the coach leads the class as a group. So
the big muscular guy next to me does the same workout that
I do, just with different size weights. You can always make it
harder. All of the gear is provided in an open air room. The
coaches demonstrate the movements first, and then help the
class, keeping an eye on everyone’s form. There is a lot of
weight work, but also plenty of good, old-fashioned pull ups,
push ups, and sit ups.
Neighbor and fellow DBS member Pam Neumann noted, “I
really like the community spirit – everyone supports each other
no matter what your fitness level.” The vibe is friendly and
welcoming, but don’t get me wrong, it’s a tough workout. There
is a lot of weight being moved in there.
DBS is up and running now with
classes, and they will soon add
strength (weight lifting focus) and
yoga classes. You can purchase a
membership or a punch-card. They
will offer occasional free Saturday
workouts so neighbors can test the
waters. I encourage you to check it
out. I’ve always observed that Dane
and his team strive to be good
neighbors over in Hyde Park, and
I’m sure that we’ll enjoy having
DBS here on the east side too. All
information can be found at www.
danesbodyshop.com.
I’m pretty excited about the
thought of biking or walking to my workout instead of driving. Of course the new challenge will be to avert my eyes
as I walk home past the pizza, beer, tacos, and cupcake
temptations on Manor…...

Salvage Vanguard Theater Will Lose Their Lease in June
“We knew this might be coming but . . . now we know for sure.”

Founded in 1994, Salvage Vanguard Theater (SVT) has been a hub for Austin
performing artists, musicians, visual artists and patrons. In 2006, the experimental
theater company renovated a 6,000 square foot warehouse on Manor Rd. The space
on Manor houses a gallery, a 49 seat theater,a 99 seat theater, scene shop, storage,
office space, and a puppet workshop. For the past ten years the space has been home
to over 50 artists and arts organizations.

This Fall’s Plant and Book
Swap was a wonderful
chance for neighbors and
friends to share a few laughs
and get to know the community a bit better.
Books and plants, from
Hemingway to the Mexican herb epazote were
exchanged, children played,
and there was even a little
ukulele music. In the end, many books and plants
found new homes. The books that remained went
to organizations like Inside Books, Maplewood
Elementary, and Treasure City Thrift.
Thanks to all who came out for it!

This new addition nowserves as
a place for neighborhood residents and groups to announce

Austin Habitat for Humanity ReStore Grand Opening at New Location
Accepting Donations that Support Habitat’s Mission
By Carly Yansak
Beginning October 23rd, the Austin Habitat for Humanity ReStore will have moved
from its former location at 310 Comal to a
new, updated facility at 500 W Ben White
at the intersection of South 1st.
The Austin Habitat ReStore is a discount
retail outlet that sells new and gently used
construction materials and home goods to
the community. Reclaimed wood, lighting
fixtures, artwork, tools, windows, doors,
cabinets, paint supplies - you name it, they
probably have it.
When you shop at the ReStore, you shop for a cause. All
revenue generated is used to build affordable homes for
hard-working, low-income residents of our community. For
example - buying one door from the ReStore can help to install
another for a child who has never had their own room, or
purchasing one hammer leads to another in action on a build
site. It’s a simple way to support Austin Habitat’s mission of
providing everyone a safe, decent, and affordable place to live.
However, support can also come in the form
of donations. A donation to the Austin Habitat
ReStore is a donation for hope. They are able
to provide discounted goods because of those
who donate their old materials. The more they
have, the more they sell, which in turn means
more revenue to put back into the community.
The new facility will be three times the size of
their old location, so the need for your old stuff
is high! Their 500 W Ben White Boulevard location is currently accepting donations.
Don’t forget to mark your calendars either - on November
21st, they’ll be having a Grand Opening celebration from
10 am to 2 pm. There will be plenty to do for the kids, food
trucks, local vendors, a DIY demonstration and much more.

Year-Round Rowing
By Regina Rogoff
The year I turned 54, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. I
knew I had to start getting more exercise but I had no idea
where to start.
Then a friend called. She said, “It’s National Learn to Row
Day. Come on down to Austin Rowing Club and
try it. I think you’ll like it.” I did, and almost
immediately, I was hooked. As the saying goes,
the rest is history. Thirteen years later, at age
67, I’m still learning to row.
You may have guessed that “National Learn to
Row Day” is really a misnomer. Sponsored by
US Rowing Association, it’s more of an introduction to the sport. But it does get you on the
water, and that was all I needed. I signed up for Austin Rowing
Club’s Introduction to Rowing (ITR) eight-session course.
I learned the jargon: port,
starboard, bow, and stern. I
learned about safety on the
water, and I learned two
styles of rowing: sweep and
sculling. In sweep, each rower has one oar and the boats
are configured as pairs (two
rowers), fours (four rowers)
and eights (eight rowers).
Sculling is two oared rowing
and the configurations are
singles, doubles and quads.
In fours and eights, there’s an
additional person in the boat
known as the coxswain (pronounced “coxsin” or abbreviated to just “cox”).
The cox has the job of steering the boat. This is important
because we row backwards. The bow (front end) of our shells
(boats), are behind us and we sit facing the stern (rear) of the
boat. In smaller boats (singles, doubles, and pairs) without
coxswains, the rower in the bow has to continually look over
their shoulder to steer the boat and avoid obstacles, including
bridges, kayaks, and other boats, as well as the stand-up paddle
boards affectionately known as SUPS. It can get surprisingly
crowded on the lake. Maybe that’s why rowers are often seen
doing their thing early in the morning. My Wednesday/Friday
crew (the Rojos — did you get the pun?) rows from 5:45-7:00
am. My weekend crew leaves the Waller Creek Boathouse dock
at 7:00am. Rowers like getting their exercise when others are
just getting out of bed.
When folks hear that I row, they generally assume that I must
have strong arms and a strong back. Well my arms and back
are definitely stronger than they were before I began rowing, but
that’s because I’ve also taken up weightlifting. Rowing itself is
actually a low impact, lower-body sport. Simply put, we sit on
moveable seats that glide on tracks. At the point when the oars
“catch” the water we are fully compressed. By pushing with our
legs we cause the oars to move through the water and the boat to
move forward. When the oars are “released” from the water we
glide back up to the compressed position ready to “catch” again.
This is the basic rowing stroke. As a crew, the goal is to do this
in perfect unison, catching and releasing together, keeping the
CO N TA C T@ C H E R R Y W O O D. O R G
boat on keel and moving gracefully through the water, adjusting
the rate and pressure of our strokes to achieve greater speed.
Austin is blessed with a beautiful river, dammed at both ends
creating Lake Lady Bird, previously known as Town Lake. To
the west is Red Bud Island and to the east, is Longhorn Dam
and little known Bird Island. Austin’s relatively mild winters
provide the ideal climate for year-round rowing. Crews from
the Northeast and Midwest can be seen on the water in short
sleeve t-shirts, while Austin natives are bundled up in thermal
undies. I love seeing the long boats, 62 feet long and roughly 18
inches wide, with their nine-member crews.
For those interested in competition, we have distance races
also called “head” races in the fall, and sprints in the spring.
The Head of the Charles is a famous distance race in Boston.
Austin Rowing Club sponsors a distance race on Lake Lady
Bird each fall called the PumpkinHead because it’s held around
Halloween, and a spring sprint regatta known as the Heart of
Texas rowers from Texas and surrounding states.
Did I mention that rowing is a lifelong activity? I row with
men and women ranging in age from mid-thirties to mid-seventies, all sharing a love of the sport and being part of a team.
On my 60th birthday, I was racing at the USRowing Masters
Nationals in Long Beach, CA. My women’s crew came home
with two silver medals in our age group. Best birthday ever!
So next time you see a rower or crew on Lady Bird Lake,
gracefully moving their shell down the river, don’t stop at thinking it might be something to try someday. Think if Regina can
row, so can I. And you don’t have to wait until National Learn
to Row Day. You can go online to www.austinrowing.org and
check out the ITR classes. I look forward to seeing you on the
water.
9th Annual Cherrywood Tree Planting
This Year Marks 600+ Total Trees Planted
On Saturday October 17th, 10 volunteers, under the direction of
Mike Damal, continued the tradition of tree planting in Cherrywood.
With 47 trees planted
and delivered, the total
tree plantings in the past
20 years (we had one
year where the planting
was cancelled due to the
drought) now stands at
643. This program has
made a huge difference

Billie Crawford History
By Karen Sestak
Billie Mae Crawford lives a few houses down Hollywood Avenue from me. She has
seen the Cherrywood neighborhood change from country into a central Austin neighborhood. She is rich with local history that I thought might be of interest to others, so
I sat in her front yard one morning asking questions.
Billie’s family moved from Brownwood, Texas “a half horse town” to
a rental on 31st Street in Austin in
the 1930’s. Her daddy was a trained
carpenter, but could only find work as a
garbage man in Brownwood. He hoped
the move to Austin would allow him to
find work in his chosen field, and it did.
At that time, people in the City did all
of their shopping on Congress Avenue.
There was a JC Penny, Sears, Kruger
Jewelry, Scarboroughs, and theaters.
“One to two times a week, Momma
would dress to the nines, wearing her
best dress, stockings, and hair done”
to shop downtown. “You didn’t go
shopping like you were walking around
ready to hoe cotton.” There would be
people walking up and down Congress
Avenue selling lottery tickets for $1.
“Momma would buy the tickets hoping
to win a car.” She never won a car, but
she did end up winning this plot of land
on Hollywood Avenue. Soon after,
Billie’s dad procured a bank loan for
$6,000 for the materials to build the
family home on the plot. He built the
home using only hand tools that Billie still
has to this day.
Mr. Scheiffer was the most known for
living in this area. He had cattle and a
horse up where Delwood Center is today
and Billie would often walk up to his land
to the pet the horse. Years later, Delwood
Center became the first shopping center in
Austin to provide an alternative to Congress
Avenue for shopping. There was a grocery,
Howard’s Nursery, and even a drive-in
movie theater on the north end of the Center.
Billie would walk there and sit on a bench
to watch a movie in the evening. Hancock
became the second shopping center to be
built in Austin.
The main streets in the area then are still
our neighborhood defining streets today,
including 38 ½ Street, Airport Boulevard,
and Manor Road. IH35 was known as East
Avenue and had a row of trees separating
the northbound and southbound traffic. It
was a beautiful avenue. Hollywood Avenue
was a dirt road at that point, and Billie’s
mother had a daily struggle to keep up with
all of the dirt and dust that would blow in
the open windows before the days of air
conditioning. She was thrilled when the
bus route switched from running on Hollywood to Werner Avenue.
We are fortunate to have many neighbors
with a bright personal history of our area.
It’s important we keep these stories alive
and in circulation. I pass this on to the next
person to add more stories to the book.

WATER AND WASTEWATER
RULE CHANGES
Background
Earlier this year, architects and others
involved in planning and/or building
home additions or detached dwellings
learned that a policy change made last
year was making projects cost a great
deal more than had previously been the
case.
The change required that Accessory
Dwelling Units (ADUs) have separate
City water meters, in addition to the
meter for the main dwelling, and that
costs for upsizing of service lines be
covered by the applicant. In order to
receive a Building Permit it became
necessary to hire an engineer to provide
a tap plan costing from $1500 to $3,000,
and hiring private, bonded and licensed
contractors to perform the actual work
at $10,000 to $30,000, leading to that
much more in additional costs for an
ADU. In addition, sewer service with
a four-inch line had to be upgraded to a
six-foot line, also requiring the applicant
to pay for an engineered tap plan and
bonded contractors.
New Rules
Many in the architectural and contracting communities made a concerted
effort to work with both elected officials
and the Water Utility staff to effect a
change in these policies, and we succeeded. The following is a summary of
the new rules:
1. A single family residence may add a
detached dwelling unit without having a
separate meter or submeter.
2. A ¾ inch water service line in the
street will no longer require an upgrade,
unless the detached unit includes more
than 4½ baths or 48 additional fixture
units.
3. A detached dwelling will no longer trigger the requirement to enlarge
the sanitary sewer from 4 inches to 6
inches.
Apparently, the new rules apply only
to ADUs. Some of us are working on
policy changes and code amendments
that would extend these requirements to
duplexes, additions, and other residential construction types.
