Board of Adjustment Training & Staff Support Workgroup 2020-07-02 (Leighton-Burwell, Hawthorne, Von Ohlen & Bailey) -- UPDATED Results /Action Items Proposed by the Workgroup (for discussion and possible action by the whole Board at upcoming BOA Meeting): 1.

My client's intention is to construct a new single-family residence at 1305 West 42nd Street. But the property is not a platted lot. As such, we need an exemption from platting to receive a building permit. We cannot currently receive an exemption from platting because: (1) (2) The property was first conveyed in its current configuration after the property became subject to the City of Austin's jurisdiction over the subdivision of land; and, The property does not meet the minimum lot width requirement for its zoning district (SF-3). (The property is not in a neighborhood planning area that has adopted Small Lot Amnesty; therefore, the minimum lot width requirement is 50'—but our property is only 48' wide.) Per LDC 25-4-2, D, (5), we can receive an exemption from platting if the Board of Adjustment grants a variance from minimum lot width requirements. With such a variance, we can receive a building permit. Without such a variance...this lot is unbuildable. We hereby request a variance.

Variance Request 74 San Saba Street C15-2021-0080 The Board of Adjustment August 9, 2021 Item D-3 Micah King (Husch Blackwell LLP) D-3/1-PRESENTATION Requested Variances To provide reduced max. impervious cover of 41.38% (40% required outside the primary and secondary setbacks in the Festival Beach subdistrict of the Waterfront Overlay) To reduce the min. side setback from 5′ to 3.9′ To reduce the min. rear setback from 10′ to 2.1′ To preserve an existing deck that serves the rear, upper-level residential unit built in 1930, and which provides a secondary point of egress and outdoor living space for the small rear unit. 2 D-3/2-PRESENTATION Overview Approval would result in a net reduction to the amount of impervious cover in the Waterfront Overlay as we are proposing to demolish and remove existing impervious cover (a concrete walk and stone pads) as part of the request. 40%: Max. impervious cover outside the primary and secondary setbacks in the Festival Beach subdistrict of the Waterfront Overlay. 47.8%: Existing impervious cover. 44.14%: Impervious cover prior to deck construction. 41.38%: Amount of requested impervious cover. 3 D-3/3-PRESENTATION Property Location Map 4 D-3/4-PRESENTATION 5 D-3/5-PRESENTATION Photo of the Rear Unit 6 D-3/6-PRESENTATION Photo of the Deck 7 D-3/7-PRESENTATION Photo of the Side Setback (Showing Alignment of Deck with Pre-Existing Unit) 8 D-3/8-PRESENTATION Examples of Area Setback Encroachments 9 D-3/9-PRESENTATION Reasonable Use The zoning regulations do not allow for a reasonable use of the property because they would preclude being able to preserve an existing deck for the upstairs rear residential unit, which increases the fire safety for residents by providing a secondary point of egress in case of emergency and which increases the quality of life for residents. The deck is set back approximately 10 feet from the originally-platted lot line of the property to the rear, and the side of the deck is in line with the side of the existing structure from 1930 which it serves. 10 D-3/10-PRESENTATION The Hardship is Unique to the Property The hardship is unique to the property because options for where to place the deck are constrained by the locations of the original residential structures and the fact that the rear structure was constructed close to the rear property line and by the need to provide a gap between the existing houses for access and fire safety. 11 D-3/11-PRESENTATION The …

1308 West 9 ½ Street C15‐2021‐0081 Board of Adjustment August 9, 2021 D-4/1-PRESENTATION Request ‐ Chapter 25‐2, Subchapter F, Article 2, § 2.1 Allow an increased floor‐to‐area ratio from 0.4:1 to 0.46:1. D-4/2-PRESENTATION Site Location D-4/3-PRESENTATION Site Location D-4/4-PRESENTATION Site Details • SF‐3‐NP: • Family Residence – Neighborhood Plan • 0.1806 acres / 7,865.6 square feet • Single‐Family Use • Old West Austin Neighborhood Plan • No FLUM exists for this NP D-4/5-PRESENTATION Zoning D-4/6-PRESENTATION D-4/7-PRESENTATION BOA Guidebook ‐ Findings From the BOA Guidebook (pg. 7) • The regulation deprives the property of a “reasonable use” that is fundamental to its use and enjoyment and is allowed by zoning ordinance. • The property is zoned SF‐3 which is intended for use a single‐family residential use. The regulations that exist do not allow for the existing family to continue to reside in the structure. A four‐bedroom home is a reasonable single‐family use. • A hardship that is unique to the property and not common to the area. • The 156 square foot ADU counts toward the FAR but is space that cannot be allocated toward a child’s bedroom. • The existing structure is designed in such a way that an additional bedroom cannot be remodeled into the space. • Granting the variance would not change the character of the neighborhood, impair the use of adjacent property, or impair the purpose of the regulations. • With the proposed addition, the building footprint will not expand, and the addition is going on top of an existing flat roof, therefore there is no additional impervious cover or building coverage. The addition would also fully comply with the McMansion building envelope. D-4/8-PRESENTATION Outreach • Outreach to nearby property owners. • Four letters of support received for the variance request. D-4/9-PRESENTATION No Similar Homes Nearby D-4/10-PRESENTATION Proposed Addition D-4/11-PRESENTATION Findings • A four‐bedroom home is a reasonable single‐family use. • The hardship is the design of the property makes an interior remodel to add a bedroom infeasible. • The variance will not alter the character of the area and will not impair the purpose of regulations because the proposed addition will not expand the building footprint, impervious cover, or building coverage. • There will be no adverse impact: We have support from adjacent neighbors. D-4/12-PRESENTATION Variance Request We respectfully request that you grant a variance to increase the floor‐to‐area ratio to 0.46 to 1.0. D-4/13-PRESENTATION D-4/14-PRESENTATION …
