r-rr�on"I C,16-lOl&;-0041 Applicants: Luke and Cherry Scarmardo Property: Lot 7, Block A, Wooten Terrace Address: 8402 Kimble Cove, Austin, TX Request: Front-yard setback variance for attached carport Introduction Luke and Cherry request a variance to allow construction of a 12' x 18' attached carport extending over the existing driveway at the front of their home. The carport is designed to restore functional covered parking while maintaining compatibility with the neighborhood and preserving the architectural character of the property. Hardship & Practical Need The original one-car garage on the right side of the house was permanently transformed prior to their purchase July 1981 into a storage area and a smaller one-third garage space through installation of a permanent interior wall. This modification eliminated the ability to park a full-size vehicle inside the structure. As a result, the property no longer has any usable covered parking. Neighborhood Compatibility The carport aligns with the existing driveway and maintains the established streetscape. Its scale and placement are consistent with similar covered parking structures found throughout the neighborhood. The design avoids visual clutter, preserves sightlines, and maintains the low-profile appearance typical of Wooten Terrace homes. The 12-foot width matches the existing garage opening, and the 18-foot depth provides adequate vehicle coverage without extending excessively toward the street. Minimum Variance Necessary This request represents the minimum variance needed to restore functional covered parking to the property. The carport is limited to a single-vehicle width, placed entirely over the existing driveway. No alternative location on the lot would meet the functional need without creating greater impact or violating other setback requirements. Conclusion The proposed 12' x 18' carport is a practical, modest improvement that restores ess�ntial functionality lost due to the permanent interior modification of the original �arag�. It ts c�mpat1ble with the neighborhood, minimizes visual impact, and represents the least mtrusIve solution to meet the property's needs. Luke and Cherry respectfully request approval of this variance.

And (cid:131) Section 25-2-551 (Lake Austin (LA) District Regulations) (E)(2) to permit 260 square feet development on a slope with a gradient of more than 35%, in order to maintain a tram in a “LA”, Lake Austin zoning district. For the above address the Subdivision Plat was recorded on March 25, 1915. Note: Land Development Code, Section 25-2-551 Lake Austin (LA) District Regulations {A} In this section: (1) SHORELINE means the 492.8 topographic contour line along the shores of Lake Austin. (2) SHORELINE SETBACK means a line parallel to the shoreline and at a distance from the shoreline that is prescribed in this section. (3) SHORELINE SETBACK AREA means an area between the shoreline and the shoreline setback. ITEM05/2 (B) This subsection specifies shoreline setbacks in a Lake Austin (LA) district. (1) The shoreline setback is: (a) 75 feet; or (b) 25 feet, if: (i) the lot is located in a subdivision plat recorded before April 22, 1982, or is a legal tract exempt from the requirement to plat; and (ii) the distance between the shoreline and the front lot line, or the property line of a l egal tract, is 200 feet or less. (E) This subsection specifies additional development standards based on a slope gradient in a Lake Austin (LA) district. (1) On a slope with a gradient of more than 15 percent; (a) vegetation must be restored with native vegetation, as prescribed by the Enviromental Criteria Manual, if it is disturbed or removed as a result of construction; and (b) construction uphill or downhill from the slope must comply with the Enviromental Criteria Manual.

C15-2026-0036 4107 Lakeplace Lane ITEM05/1-PRESENTATION ITEM05/2-PRESENTATION Existing tram was constructed in approximately 2001 by a previous owner. ITEM05/3-PRESENTATION ITEM05/4-PRESENTATION ITEM05/5-PRESENTATION ITEM05/6-PRESENTATION Variances Requested: 1. Variance from Section 25-2-551(B)(3)(a) (Lake Austin District Regulations) to permit mechanical pedestrian ("LA") zoning district. access in a Lake Austin 2. Variance from Section 25-2-551(E)(2) (Lake Austin District Regulations) to permit development on a slope with a gradient of more than 35 percent. ITEM05/7-PRESENTATION Variances Findings: Reasonable Use: The zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: The shoreline setback area restrictions and additional development standards based on slope gradient regulations are only applicable to properties zoned Lake Austin residence district ("LA") and do not apply to other zoning districts along Lake Austin. Without the variances the property owner would not be able to access all areas of the property. ITEM05/8-PRESENTATION Variances Findings: Hardship: a. The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: The topography of the property between the residence and Lake Austin is steeply sloped and varies from 35% to over 1,500% with a vertical drop in excess of 60 feet which makes it extremely difficult to access the entire property without a tram. ITEM05/9-PRESENTATION Variances Findings: Hardship: b. The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: The property sits on a sheer vertical cliff verses rolling slopes that are more common along Lake Austin. There is also an abundance of large, mature tress that are heavily concentrated along the lake side. ITEM05/10-PRESENTATION Variances Findings: Area Character: The variance will not alter the character of the area adjacent to the property, will not impair the use of adjacent conforming property, and will not impair the purpose of the regulations of the zoning district in which the property is located because: These variances would not alter the character of adjacent properties nor impair their use of their own property because the tram is located within a heavily vegetated area and cannot be seen by the adjacent neighbors. LA zoning allows for roads and driveways to be located within the shoreline setback area with a gradient of more than 35%, but due to the extreme topography on the subject property, these types of improvements are not feasible. A tram is required to access all of the property. ITEM05/11-PRESENTATION

Variance Presentation for Case Number C15-0037/714 Post Oak St. BOA Meeting date November 9, 2026 Good evening. My name is Ms. Shesh Aandahl. Thank you to the Board of Adjustment for giving us the opportunity to present our case. ITEM06/1-PRESENTATION First: Hardships. The subject property has several significant physical, topographical, and restrictive limitations which create hardships for modifying the house. These hardships are not general to other properties in the larger residential zoning districts in Austin. The following is a list of the physical hardships that deny reasonable use of the subject property: 1. The lot is small, measuring 5,250 square feet. 2. The lot is subject to both the City of Austin 25-year and 100-year flood plain regulations. Both of these flood plain regulations have posed physical restrictions and constraints on the current location and footprint of the house. These restrictions and regulations have strictly limited the entire location of the current house, leaving no room for additional lot coverage. 3. A significant portion of the rear lot area is restricted by a City of Austin Dedicated Drainage Easement. See site plan. The drainage easement does not allow any permanent buildings, sheds, fences, garages, patios, and walls and no trees can be planted. 4. The lot has an unusual and sizable topographical area where there is a steep drop off at the rear of the subject lot that significantly restricts the use of the lot. Together, these geographic and environmental lot restrictions and regulations create hardship barriers for standard home modifications and development. I would also note that the original footprint of the house was restricted by a large, protected tree that subsequently was removed. After a large limb fell on the subject house. An arborist confirmed that the tree was rotten in various places. ITEM06/2-PRESENTATION Second: The Impacts of Changing Balcony Space to Conditioned Bedroom Space. The requested variance is simply to change already existing balcony space to enclosed space. The idea to reallocate the balcony space to critically needed bedroom space was birthed by logical reasoning. Why leave a balcony in the existing footprint of the house to permanently remain as unconditioned and underutilized space when it could become more useful space?

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificate of Appropriateness November 4, 2026 PR-2026-008188; GF-2026-025308 Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District 1005 East 8th Street 5 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1906 house listed as contributing to a local historic district. Architecture The house at 1005 East 8th St. was likely originally constructed as a single story building, with the sloping elevation of the site creating a crawlspace or cellar to the east side of the building footprint. Since its construction, this has been enclosed, and a rear addition built, increasing the enclosed area of the building. However, the U-shaped form and Folk Victorian elements still read legibly, and decorative elements, especially at the front porch and gable ends, remain present. The integrity of the architecture is strong and the property remains contributing to the Robertson/Stuart & Mair historic district. Research For the first 30 years after construction, the property went through a series of renters, made up of families and individuals employed by various local industries and services, including carpenters, foundry workers, and porters. The first long term owners were Ernest & Marie Kemp, who operated a local grocery. Marie Kemp continued to live at the address after her husband’s death, but by the 1950s, the property was vacant before becoming subdivided for oil industry and other professional offices. A third housing unit was added in 1970, indicating that this property continued use as residential rentals. An overnight fire occurred at the property on November 12th, 20251. Department Comments This application will time out on January 14, 2027. Property Evaluation The property contributes to the Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District.

Project Specifications 1) Replace exterior siding. 2) Replace doors and windows. 3) Remodel and update interior of building (not is scope of HLC review) Architecture This property is a single story ranch style house in the Rogers Washington Holy Cross neighborhood. Walls are clad in asbestos shingle at the front, with vinyl siding at the sides and rear. The building is rectangular in plan and has a simple side gabled roof structure. Windows and doors appear to have all been replaced from original fixtures. Design Standards The Rogers Washington Holy Cross Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: General Standards 1. Protected Facades Character defining features at the primary/protected facades are to be retained. Removal and recladding of the exterior walls is appropriate, as the existing is vinyl siding at the sides and rear with asbestos shingles at the front. 4. Alterations to Contributing Properties 4.1. Exterior walls Exterior cladding is proposed to be replaced. The existing siding is composed of vinyl siding and asbestos shingle, the former of which is not original and an alternate material would be more in keeping with the district design standards. Existing siding should be removed using the gentlest means possible if original material is found underneath. 4.5. Windows Existing windows are not original. All of these units are proposed to be replaced, though their locations and openings will be retained in size. Vinyl or vinyl-clad windows are not allowed, and simulated divided lites/false muntins are also prohibited in the district. 4.6. Doors Doors are also proposed to be replaced in their original locations. These new units must be compatible to the district and not appear too modern. Summary The project meets the applicable standards. Department Comments This application will time out on December 18, 2027. Staff Recommendation Approve the Certificate of Appropriateness.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificates of Appropriateness November 4, 2026 HR-2026-130922 Hyde Park Historic District 4115 Avenue D 7 – 1 Proposal Replace non-historic windows on a contributing church structure. Project Specifications As part of a project to bring a historic church back into code and historic design compliance, the applicant is proposing to replace windows, which were installed by a previous owner, with fixtures more appropriate to their openings and the Hyde Park design standards. Other portions of this project include converting the property to residential use and life safety updates, all of which are located at the interior of the property and do not fall under the scope of the Historic Landmark Commission’s review. Architecture This former church is located at a prominent corner in the Hyde Park neighborhood. It is constructed of brick, which has been inappropriately painted, and features a steep cross-gabled roof clad in shingles. There are two small dormers toward the front of the roof structure, and the side-facing gables each have a small attic vent. The front of the church features a small stairway to access the main entry, with an entrance at the side for accessibility. Windows have all been replaced with fixtures that are too small for their openings. Design Standards The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. General Standards 1.2. Retention of Historic Style Character defining features, most notably the replacement of windows and painting of brick, have been removed or heavily altered, which has threatened the overall integrity of the property. While the paint is not being proposed to be removed at this time, the window replacements seek to reduce the impact of poor, unpermitted work completed by a previous owner. 1.4. Appropriate Treatment Options for Contributing or Potentially Contributing Structures Generally speaking, the proposed windows are a much better fit for the building. It is deeply regrettable that work was completed by a previous owner and original windows were lost. While it would be highly recommended that salvaged or bespoke windows be located or fabricated for these openings, the proposed window fixtures are a much better fit than what are currently in place. 3. Residential Standards: Single Family and Contributing Multifamily – Preservation and Restoration 3.1. Front of Houses The overall orientation, arrangement of doors and windows, and front steps will …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Demolition and Relocation Permits November 4, 2026 PR-2026-079349; GF-2026-090393 Travis Heights-Fairview Park Historic District 706 East Monroe Street 8 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1927 house. Architecture This property is a single-story Craftsman bungalow featuring an ample, projecting front porch that is supported by two square wood posts. These posts, along with the porch railing and brackets above, decorate the front of the house, which retains strong integrity. The front gabled roof features prominent overhangs and rafter tails still present under a later gutter addition. Windows all appear to be original and are in good condition. The walls are clad in narrow horizontal siding, and the elevated foundation is covered by a concrete or stucco skirting. Behind the house is a porch structure that has been confirmed by a previous owner to have been designed by former University of Texas architecture professor Bob Mather. The design of this structure, made from portions of the original garage, matches the roof pitch to create a sheltered space at the rear, and was likely designed while Mather lived, along with his wife Jean Mather, nearby at 1611 Alameda Drive. Research After its construction, this property was shortly owned by Walter & Larah Bergfield, the former of whom was employed as a barber. After a series of short term owners and residents, including a taxi driver and a telephone repairman, the property was bought by Edmund & Dorothy Morris around 1944. Edmund Morris worked at the Mutual Benefit Health Association as a manager, before starting his own insurance agency by 1949. Doris is listed as assisting in this operation, and the couple raised several children at the property. By 1957, the property was purchased by Clyde & Georgia Priddy, a chef at the Commodore Perry Hotel. Department Comments Per city code § 25-11-213 (G)(4), the Historic Landmark Commission has 180 days to review demolition permits in National Register historic districts starting from the date the application was submitted. This period is set to time out on February 17, 2027. Property Evaluation The property contributes to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high 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 for …
06/09/2026 June 18, 2026 City of Austin Development Services Department Historic Preservation Office / Austin Planning Re: Residential Total Demolition Permit Application — 706 E Monroe Street, Austin, Texas To Development Services and Historic Preservation Staff: We recently acquired the property at 706 E Monroe Street and are submitting this Residential Total Demolition Permit application to begin the City’s required review process for the existing bungalow and related accessory structure. We understand that the property is located within the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register Historic District context and that review by Historic Preservation staff and/or the Historic Landmark Commission may be required before any permit may be released. At this stage, we are evaluating multiple paths for the existing bungalow. Demolition is not our first or only path. In parallel with this permit application, we are actively exploring preservation alternatives, including retention of the structure as part of the overall site plan and potential relocation/donation to a house preservation nonprofit. We are submitting the application now so that the required City review can proceed while those preservation and relocation conversations continue. Based on the information currently available to us, we understand that the bungalow may be a contributing-age structure within the National Register district context, but we do not believe it independently meets the City’s criteria for local historic landmark designation. Specifically, while the structure may meet the age threshold, we are not currently aware of facts indicating that it has individual architectural significance, significant historical associations, unique community value apart from the broader district context, archaeological significance, or landscape significance sufficient to support individual landmark designation. We welcome staff’s review and will provide additional information requested by Historic Preservation staff. We are submitting an updated combined survey for 700 and 706 E Monroe, including current tree information. No tree removal is proposed as part of this demolition permit application. We are not proposing to impact the critical root zone of any protected or heritage tree or to prune more than 25% of any protected-size tree canopy as part of this application, except as may be separately reviewed and approved by the City. We understand that any required tree protection and erosion/sedimentation controls must be installed and inspected before demolition or removal work occurs. The application materials identify the existing bungalow and the existing accessory shed, approximately 125 square feet. No demolition, relocation, or removal work will occur unless and …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts November 4, 2026 HR-2026-118672 Travis Heights-Fairview Park Historic District 211 Academy Drive 9 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1933 residence. Architecture This house is a largely symmetrical U-plan former duplex with Colonial Revival details. A single-story structure, the recessed center front porch formerly featured two front doors facing each other. At some point in the past, the house was converted to a single unit and one front door was infilled and clad with matching siding. The porch remains in its original appearance otherwise, with two sets of paired windows at its rear, which complement the arched windows at other areas of the front of the building. Three simple wood posts support the roof structure above, which is largely side gabled and features two dormer attic vents. To each end of the house is a street facing gable roof projecting out which each feature several windows covered with wood screen assemblies. This house is slightly elevated, which allows it to sit more evenly on the changing grade of the property. The overall condition of the house is good, and it retains integrity. Research Since this property was purpose built to be a side-by-side duplex, there is a long history of multiple renter tenants who lived in this building. Many of these tenants lived at the property for a long time, including several families employed locally in the area. Early occupants included a tax assessor and collector, as well as an employee for the nearby School for the Deaf. During the Second World War, it was occupied by a supervisor at US Civil Aeronautics Administration. The longest owners and tenants belonged to the Turner family. Marshall & Lucille Turner owned the property from the end of World War II onward, and for a time Jason & Grace Turner occupied the other side. During this period, Marshall and Jason both were employed by the Austin Chemical Company. Department Comments Per city code § 25-11-213 (G)(4), the Historic Landmark Commission has 180 days to review demolition permits in National Register historic districts starting from the date the application was submitted. This period is set to time out on March 9, 2027. Property Evaluation The property contributes to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register district.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts November 4, 2026 PR-2026-125480; HR-2026-126586 Travis Heights-Fairview Park Historic District 2112 Clifton Street 10 – 1 Proposal Construct a second-floor addition above the detached garage structure. Project Specifications Construct an approximately 600 square foot second story addition above an existing garage structure at the rear of the property. Architecture This house is a Craftsman bungalow, with its front half intact and in good condition. The front inset porch retains integrity and the front features large 1-over-1 wood windows. The thin teardrop wood siding also appears to be original. A two story rear addition was permitted and is appropriately designed. The roof is a front facing gable assembly set at a moderate pitch. Research The property was occupied for its first several decades by Wilton Lock, first as a renter under owner George Stanley, an employee of the Austin Street Railway Company, and eventually as owner along with his wife Dorothy. During their ownership of the property, Wilton worked as a mechanic at Austin Transit, and together the two raised at least one son who would go on to attend university in town during the 1950s. The Locks continued their residence after their children moved away. 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 additions 1. Location Addition is to be located at the rear of the property, above an existing garage structure. The garage is not listed in the district’s National Register nomination. 2. Scale, massing, and height While a second floor addition may be inappropriate at the front half of the main building, there is little concern about visibility from the street in the proposed location. 3. Design and style The footprint and size of the second floor addition will be nearly matching the first floor size of the garage. It will be a simple rectangular form, which has been a relatively common type of addition in the district to add more space or living units to a property. 4. Roofs Roof is to be a simple, low-to-moderately pitched side gable assembly clad in standing seam metal. All of these characteristics are appropriate to the property and the district. 5. Exterior walls Cement fiber board …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts November 4, 2026 PR-2026-125072 Travis Heights-Fairview Park Historic District 1918 Newning Avenue 11 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1930 house. Architecture This structure is a single-story house with Craftsman influences. It is compact and rectangular in plan, and it features a modest front porch at the center of the primary elevation. There are three original wood windows at this façade, along with a wood door, all of which appear to be original. The roof is a side gabled form, with a small front gable projecting above two paired windows at the front wall. Though the building appears to have been neglected for some time, it retains excellent integrity and has seen little, if any, alterations since original construction. Research After construction in 1931, and for the next few decades, this property saw a great deal of turnover of owners and occupants. Many of these were employed locally, including the Texas School for the Deaf, the Austin fire department, and at an Ice & Cold Storage facility. By the 1950s, the property was owned by Louis & Florence Riffe, who raised at least one son at the address. Louis Riffe was employed as a driver at Austin Transit during this time. Department Comments Per city code § 25-11-213 (G)(4), the Historic Landmark Commission has 180 days to review demolition permits in National Register historic districts starting from the date the application was submitted. This period is set to time out on March 22, 2027. Property Evaluation The property contributes to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff have evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria for landmark designation: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of intact modest Craftsman design. 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. …
