From: Michael Harbers Sent: Tuesday, December 15, 2020 12:42 PM To: Rivera, Andrew <Andrew.Rivera@austintexas.gov> Subject: Dell's Children Medical Center North *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Zoning and Platting Commission I am AGAINIST this proposed development. Concerns Traffic on Lakeline. Apartments and Hospital and Medical Buildings. The new routing of traffic is dangerous and surely is a temporary fix. Drive the intersection for your proof. I drive it daily and incur blocked lanes, mud, rock, debris on the roads. Along with merging lanes confusing drivers. The developers need to do a traffic study and then pay to have the roads and intersections constructed properly to handle the increase in traffic. What is the setback on building specifications from residential housing. We only have a 5 foot easement from our property. How far from that 5 ft easement will structures be set back or any improvement added? What is actually being built since it has changed from residential to commercial? Noise from air conditioning, back up alarms, burglar alarms, and any other mechanical systems it takes to operate all these different type of buildings? Like a Hostiptal, Medical Buildings, Apartment Complexes. Drainage issues with new roads, buildings, and all the concrete Thank You Michael Harbers 10408 Cannon Mark Way Austin, TX 78717

Transportation Criteria Manual Kiolbassa recommendations Bicycles As the bicycle program grows into a robust and well-organized plan, the Transportation Criteria Manual needs to reflect this. Speed humps are not mentioned in the current TCM and are only mentioned in reference to automobiles in the draft TCM (section 3.3.0) yet are starting to be used on neighborhood bikeways. Criteria should be established for determining when to employ speed humps because of their expense, their difficulty for some bicyclists, they slow bikes down and the challenge they may pose for emergency vehicles. Recommended criteria include: 1. Conducting a safety and speed study 2. Lower the posted speed limit first 3. Installing a speed hump only on the block where the speed has been measured because speed can vary on different segments of the road 4. Bike-car accidents 5. NACTO also recommends where “the neighborhood feels traffic speeds are too high and are supportive of speed management treatments.” Neighborhood bikeway intersections with arterials should be safe. Section 5.2 and Figure 5.4 of the draft TCM depicts intersections; they should include a requirement that the grade of the streets at the intersection should adhere to best practices, which is no more than 5%. (i.e. Seattle Right-Of-Way Improvements Manual) Sidewalks Incorporate current Subchapter E Section 2.2 sidewalk requirements for each type of roadway.

Building Criteria Manual & Plumbing Systems Testing Requirements Meeting Purpose For discussion and action on changes in how we test PVC drain, waste and vent systems. Proposed Changes Removing all air and vacuum testing allowances with the following exceptions: 1. In multi-story structures and occupied buildings where water damage could result from water testing leakages, an air test can be utilized. The air test must be conducted in accordance with all sections of A.S.T.M. designation F1417-11a. If the system is to be tested with air, a Class 1A diaphragm test gauge that is calibrated to an accuracy of ± 1 percent of the span must be utilized. See test gauge requirements in the plumbing code. 2. Other materials approved by pipe manufacturers for air testing 3. Non-human medical gas and vacuum systems 4. Vacuum manhole testing Reason For Proposed Changes 1. Potential life safety and property damage hazards associated with air expansion 2. Systems consistently over pressurized 3. No known manufacturer allows air testing 4. No published code allows for air testing 5. No known jurisdictions allow air testing other than Austin Facts About Air Testing ASTM F1417-11a is a standard for air testing PVC Air testing is supported by Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association since 1998 These are the only known guidelines for air testing. Both methods have very specific, stringent guidelines and very limited applications. Neither are listed or approved by the Uniform or International Plumbing Codes. Air testing has been in the City of Austin ordinance since 1983 Facts About Air Testing Cont’d Air testing is prohibited by all nationally accredited plumbing codes and all pipe manufacturers There are no known occurrence of injuries caused by air testing of DWV lines utilizing PVC There are documented occurrences of pressurized PVC causing injury when being used in compressed air lines, and OSHA prohibits their use in compressed air systems Outcome • Improved job site safety for plumbers, other workers and inspectors • Potential cost increase • Potential delayed inspections due to lack of water • Will require more water to be used Questions Board Action

D-3/39 D-3/40 D-3/41 D-3/42 D-3/43 D-3/44 November 3, 2020 To Whom It May Concern, I am writing in support of the current construction project of my neighbor Paul Bielamowicz at 2111 Wilson St. I and my husband, Stephen Schafer have known Paul since he moved into his house in 2008. We have gotten to know him quite well as we both moved to the neighborhood at the same time. Paul has been quite friendly and outgoing and has been excellent at communicating with us plans he has for work on his home. With regard to his current project, he let us know that work was planned prior to its start and encouraged us to let him know if we found any issue with regard to noise and the crew that would be working onsite throughout the project. This is standard practice for him as he had significant work done on the house in 2012. During that process, the work was performed without any damage to our property or interference in our daily routine. There was one small incident in which we did find nails form that project in our driveway but once we brought it to Paul’s attention he was quick to act as, being an architect himself, he understood the need for a safe work environment. During the current project, we have had no issue to date with the work currently ongoing on Paul’s property with regard to disruptions to access to our property and in daily life (which is important these days given that most are working from home). Sincerely, Maria Croyle 2109 Wilson St D-3/45 D-3/46 November 1, 2020 Board of Adjustments Committee City of Austin RE: Garage Project Paul Bielamowicz, owner To whom it may concern: This is a letter of support for a project under review regarding a variance request. We reside behind Paul and share a back fence line. We have owned our home for over 15 years and Paul has been our neighbor for the last 12 years. In 2018, Paul reached out to us in writing to describe his garage project, request our permission to remove and replace a small part of our fence, if necessary, and to allow construction workers on our lot when they were constructing the back walls of the garage. Paul also asked us to attend a joint meeting with the other neighbors who would be impacted to …
