PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20200909-003 September 9, 2020 Recommendation that City Council Support Shady Hollow Municipal Utility District Date: Subject: Motioned by: Commissioner Rebecca Webber Seconded by: Commissioner Selena Alvarenga Recommendation: The Public Safety Commission recommends that the City Council authorize negotiation and execution of an interlocal agreement with the Shady Hollow Municipal Utility District (MUD) for the provision of fire protection services by the Austin Fire Department to Shady Hollow in exchange for payment by the Shady Hollow MUD to the City. Related to Items #20-3034, #20-3083, #20-3085. Description of Recommendation to Council: City Council passed Resolution No. 20200521-010 on May 21, 2020 – City Council directed the City Manager to negotiate with representatives of the Shady Hollow Municipal Utility District (District) to amend the City’s Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA). Therefore, The Public Safety Commission recommends that the Austin City Council move forward with the interlocal agreement.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Architecture, historical associations, and community value. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: Recommended the proposed zoning change from CS-1-NCCD-NP to CS-1-H-NCCD-NP. Vote: 9-0 (Tollett and Little absent). PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The Schieffer House was the subject of a 2002 historic zoning case, which was reviewed and recommended by the Historic Landmark Commission and the Planning Commission. The City Council approved the zoning change on first and second readings, but delayed action on the third reading to allow for the Austin Revitalization Authority to relocate the house on the same site and construct an addition to the rear of the house. The addition has been completed and the house relocated, so the case is ready to proceed through the commissions once again (due to the expiration of the original case) and proceed to all three readings of an ordinance designating the house as a historic landmark by the City Council. The house has been well-maintained in the interim, and the Historic Landmark Commission has reviewed and approved changes to the house since the case was initiated.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET HLC DATE: PC DATE: August 24, 2020 September 8, 2020 CASE NUMBER: C14H-2019-0161 APPLICANT: Thomas M. Schiefer and Meghan Elena Rosales, owners HISTORIC NAME: Mary Freeman Baylor House WATERSHED: Johnson Creek ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 1607 W. 10th Street ZONING FROM: SF-3-NP to SF-3-H-NP SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Recommend historic zoning. QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: The ca. 1950 house is associated with Charles and Mary Freeman Baylor, who can be documented as living here from the time of construction of the house through the early 1960s. Charles and Mary Freeman Baylor contracted with J.H. Freeman to purchase the house next door, at 1609 W. 10th Street in November, 1963, according to the deed records of Travis County. City directories from 1964 onward show that Charles E. and Mary Freeman Baylor lived next door at 1609 W. 10th Street, and the family rented this house out. Mary Freeman Baylor was a very prominent civil rights activist for the people of her Clarksville neighborhood, leading the charge for the preservation of the Clarksville School and for the provision of sewers, paved streets, and other city services other neighborhoods took for granted in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In addition, Mary Freeman Baylor, along with several of her neighbors, worked diligently to prevent the razing of many of the houses in Clarksville for the construction of the Mo-Pac Expressway and a proposed cross-town expressway in the 1970s. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: August 24, 2020: Recommended the proposed zoning change from SF-3-NP to SF-3-H-NP. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The house is listed as a Priority 1 in the Clarksville Survey (2000). ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: CITY COUNCIL DATE: October 1, 2020 ORDINANCE READINGS: 1ST 2ND 3RD CASE MANAGER: Steve Sadowsky NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: Clarksville Community Development Corporation; Old West Austin Neighborhood Association.

The application was previously approved to be completed in 5 phases, and through a site plan correction, the site plan was divided into a total of 234 phases. A site plan with this many phases is not typical, but allows for each unit to have its own phase so it can receive its own Certificate of Occupancy. Three of the phases consist of the public infrastructure: sidewalks, driveways, roads, fire lanes, parking, utilities, storm water improvements, detention, water quality improvements and the required offsite improvements. These three phases have been completed and accepted by the City of Austin and their acceptance letters are included in the backup documentation. Additionally, 88 detached condo units are also complete and there are 143 units/phases left to construct. SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval to extend this site plan permit by four years, from March 15, 2021 (new site plan expiration date due to COVID 19) to March 15, 2025 based on the case meeting criteria from LDC Section 25-5-62(C). The applicant has included a justification letter explaining details of this site (included in backup materials) and why the request is beyond the typical three year extension. Staff agrees that based on the construction completed thus far and the need to complete 143 units, that a four year extension is reasonable. 25-5-63(C) Extension of released site plan by the Land Use Commission: “the Land Use Commission may extend the expiration date of a released site plan beyond the date established by this chapter if the Land Use Commission determines that the request complies with the requirements for extension by the director under 25-5-62 (Extension of Released Site Plan by Director).” 25-5-62(C) The director may extend the expiration date …
