BOA Variance Package December 28, 2021 Project: 3002 Rivercrest Drive D-1/1-PRESENTATION December 30, 2021 3002 Rivercrest Dr Variance Request Aqua Permits LLC 6504 Betty Cook Dr Austin Texas 78723 512-750-1402 Owner and development team is seeking a variance request to allow a new construction build at 3002 Rivercrest Drive, Austin, Texas 78746. The Lake Austin zoning (25-2-492) requires a 40’ setback from the front lot line and we are requesting a 25’ setback for only a portion of the build (32’ 1 1/4” out of 106.86’). Numerous properties on Rivercrest Drive including adjacent properties 3000 and 3006 Rivercrest Drive have buildings within the 40’ setback limit. The hardship that is faced with this property is with the configuration and critical root zones of protected trees and the shape of the lot due to easements limits the area which a tandem garage can be built. The construction of the tandem garage in this scenario would reduce street parking which would in turn lessen street congestion and help make a safer environment with the busy foot traffic on the narrow street. An iteration of the design based on the neighbors' setbacks have already been denied by the City of Austin. Considerable amount of time and energy has already been spent getting this approved to standards. Granting of this variance would not change the character of the neighborhood. The garage would be on the same side as the property that also has a garage beyond the 40’ setback and there are several occurrences of setback variances throughout the neighborhood. Setbacks are intended to protect privacy, provide for open space, and avoid the aesthetic and safety concerns with overcrowding. If this variance is granted, privacy will be not altered due to the fact that only the garage portion of the build will be included in a closer setback. It won’t effect open space because it will be side by side with the neighboring property’s garage. And finally it help appease the aesthetics of overcrowding by removing cars from the street and hiding them in the garage. We value the time and consideration the BOA puts into keeping Austin a beautiful and comfortable place to live. Thank you for your careful consideration of our request.

I Ama Zilker neighbor live at 904 Ethel St and am writing a letter of support in favor of Case # 2021-000085 BA for the property located at 1003 Kinney. The design is far superior than the ubiquitous Hardie plan structures in the neighborhood being erected by many spec builders and will help contribute, not detract to the neighborhood character. The existing structure is in poor condition. All buildings have a natural life.. The IRS limits the functional life of a building to 27.5 years. This particular structure is in disrepair and not economically feasible to be repaired. Every property owner deserves the right to replace their existing home. In this case, the zoning does not allow for reasonable use of the land. I think the Board is justified in approving the request because reasonable use is currently excluded. The property is unique to the area. I am aware of only 3 lots in Zilker that are less than 5750 square feet that are not exempted from variance by the age of the plat. …
Owner and development team is seeking a variance request to allow for a new construction build on a substandard lot located at 1003 Kinney Ave. Austin, TX 78704. Current lot size is 5,461 SF and minimum allowable site to build on per current SF-3 zoning is 5,750 SF. The hardship is the original full lot size of 10,928 SF when split into halves of 5,461 SF for our lot, and 5,468 for the adjacent ½ lot, does not meet the minimum site area required by current SF-3 Zoning. This hardship would not be able to be overcome without the approval of the BOA in our variance request. Without the variance request this lot would remain vacant as we have confirmed through our research and the option of obtaining a portion of the adjacent city owned alley was rejected by the COA. Original plat and our most current site plat are from 1896. However, our lot was split into two separate tax parcels with no updated plat in 1947. The deeds in our following presentation packet document this transfer of ownership from legal lot to substandard lot status with no plat update. This was also confirmed through the Travis County Tax Accessor’s Office. The Tax Parcel map and deed documents indicate this split. In addition to the conflicting lot history that split the lots without updating the plat, there was construction allowed on the adjacent 1/2 lot last approved by the COA in 2007. This new construction had a previous residence which was demolished with no variance required to build new on the lot. Subsequent building permit was obtained for 2007 and was confirmed with our COA contact Eric Thomas. In seeking our variance, we have researched two avenues in how to be able to build on our lot. One being the recommended avenue of seeking a 1995 plat exemption to apply for legal lot status and therefore not require a variance, and second requesting a variance through the BOA. There was a previous land status determination that was approved on our lot through the 1995 Rule Platting Exception that was granted on February 25, 2019 and included in our Advanced packet. We presented this information to our permit reviewers/supervisors for an avenue forward to build on our site, however the city of Austin planning department would not allow us to build on our lot with only that as documentation and …
