1717 CHANNEL ROAD AUSTIN, TX 78746 Case # 2021-000072 BA D-2/1-PRESENTATION VARIANCE REQUEST I. Seeking BOA Variance to reduce shoreline setback: • LDC 25-2-551(B)(1)(a) to reduce shoreline setback from 75’ to 25’ along a man-made slough that abuts the property via cut in boat slip. • Lake Austin shoreline setback is 75’ per staff’s current interpretation of where a shoreline setback is measured from as it relates to man made sloughs or inlets. • My client is seeking a 25’ Lake Austin shoreline setback from the slough. • The man-made slough has a cut-in slip created sometime between1955 and 1968 per City of Austin zoning profile aerials. • There does not appear to be any natural causation of the inlet. It appears wholly man made using various historical aerials and physical inspections.

The site was annexed June 15, 1968, and zoned “A” zoning which is the equivalent of today’s SF-2 zoning. The site does not front the main body of Lake Austin. It is only accessible to the water via a small inlet that connects to a lagoon. From that lagoon a straight line was dredged to the site. On the other side of the lagoon, it connects to the main body of Lake Austin via separate canal (from the lagoon). That canal travels under a bridge (Channel Road), then it connects to the main body. (please see aerial maps for quick reference). We believe the cut-in slip was created during the same time period as the actual inlet because the 1955 – 1968 aerials reflect the inlet being dredged from the lagoon during this time and not in any aerials before 1955. It shows the inlet in the same location between …
Variance Request 74 San Saba Street C15-2021-0080 The Board of Adjustment September 13, 2021 Item E-3 Micah King (Husch Blackwell LLP) E-3/1-PRESENTATION Overview To preserve deck that serves the rear, upper-level unit built in 1930 and provides secondary egress and living space for the small unit whose living space is only on the 2nd level. Placement limited to rear due to palm trees and need to provide separation and safe fire access to the rear unit, and to allow access for firefighters w/out walking under porch. Unit constructed close to rear lot line prior to original zoning code (and the 1928 code placed the property in the “E” “Unrestricted” use district). 2 E-3/2-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′ 3 E-3/3-PRESENTATION Fence Update We measured the fences, analyzed the Code, and met with numerous City Staff at the Development Services Department (who reviewed photos and measurements), and they confirmed that the fence does not require a variance. 4 E-3/4-PRESENTATION Proposed Reduction to Impervious Cover Net reduction to impervious cover in the Waterfront Overlay (via demolishing pre-existing concrete walk and stone pads) as part of the request. 40%: Max. impervious cover 44.14%: Impervious cover prior to deck 47.8%: Existing impervious cover 41.38%: Requested impervious cover 5 E-3/5-PRESENTATION 6 E-3/6-PRESENTATION The Zoning Regulations Do Not Allow for a Reasonable Use Because: They preclude being able to preserve an existing deck for the upstairs rear residential unit, which increases fire safety for residents and firefighters by providing a secondary point of egress in case of emergency and which enhances quality of life for residents. Deck is set back approximately 10′ from originally- platted lot line of property to the rear, and the side of the deck is in line with the side of existing structure. 7 E-3/7-PRESENTATION Reasonable Use: Photo Showing Alignment of Deck with Side of Unit 8 E-3/8-PRESENTATION Hardship is Unique to the Property Because: Placement options constrained by locations of the structures constructed prior to zoning regulations. Rear structure was lawfully constructed close to the rear property line. Trees between units. Provide gap between …
1308 West 9 ½ Street C15-2021-0081 Board of Adjustment September 13, 2021 E-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 0.45:1. (An increase of 400 square feet.) (Note, the request included in the application was an increased floor-to-area ratio from 0.4:1 to 0.46:1, an increase of 500 square feet.) E-4/2-PRESENTATION Site Location E-4/3-PRESENTATION E-4/4-PRESENTATION E-4/5-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 is utilized as a on-call room. The area 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. E-4/6-PRESENTATION BOA Comments • Applicability of the cabana / options to remodel or demo the pool house? • This is not a cabana. This on-call room allows the doctor a place to sleep and not wake the entire household during very late night or very early morning shifts. E-4/7-PRESENTATION BOA Comments (cont.) • Don’t understand how splitting a bedroom is infeasible. • See attached drawings showing a full-sized bed, and how it is not possible to split either room, add a doorway, or provide additional closet-space. E-4/8-PRESENTATION BOA Comments • When was home purchased? 2019, prior to the pandemic. • How many kids? One, pre-teen and one on the way. E-4/9-PRESENTATION Findings • A four-bedroom home is a reasonable single-family use. • The hardship is cannot …

Hi Elaine – I’m a property owner close to the subject property, 1207 Taylor. There’s plenty of room for them to build 1 large single family house here. I would like to vote to deny this variance. It’s not like they are 5 ft short needed for 2 units. They are over 100 sq ft short. They knew the size of the lot when the bought the land. If COA is going to allow this variance here, it should be done for the entire city, not just this 1 exception. *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Here for you, Dan Byler CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

Old West Austin Neighborhood Association Post Office Box 2724 Austin, Texas 78768 September 2, 2021 elaine.ramirez@austintexas.gov Board of Adjustment c/o Elaine Ramirez Senior Planner and Board of Adjustment Liaison City of Austin Development Services Re: Variance Case No. C15-2021-0081 - Letter of Opposition of Variance for 1308 9 ½ Street, Austin, Texas (the “Property”) Dear Members of the Board of Adjustment: The Old West Austin Neighborhood Association (“OWANA”) opposes a variance for additional FAR to add a second story addition at the above-referenced Property. There is no hardship in this case. The owners purchased the property knowing the limitations. By granting a variance the Board would be setting a precedent that a mere change in living situation would be a justification for obtaining a variance to increase FAR, impervious cover, building envelope and any number of other code regulations. Sincerely, Adrienne Goldsberry, Chair Old West Austin Neighborhood Association E-4/1
