PAUL T. MORIN A PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION ATTORNEY AT LAW 911 Ranch Rd. 620, Ste. 204 AUSTIN, TEXAS 78734 Paul T. Morin: BOARD CERTIFIED – Civil Trial Law TELEPHONE (512) 499-8200 FAX (512) 499-8203 February 8, 2021 Mike McHone Applicant for Congress 4802, LLC via email: RE: 4802 S. Congress, SP-2019-0600C PARD Public Access Easement Liability analysis of a Public Access Easement on a 225 ft. long, 25 ft. wide Driveway/Fire Lane in a 125 unit condo project—The Wilder Dear Mr. McHone: In connection with your work for the land/project owner, Congress 4802, LLC, for The Wilder condominium project (new construction) located at 4802 S. Congress, Austin, Texas, you have asked for an analysis of the landowner’s liability arising from the use by the general public of a public access easement that the City of Austin Parks and Recreation Department is requiring the landowner to grant on this 125 unit condo project’s 225 ft. long, 25 ft. wide Driveway/Fire Lane in order to give the general public access to the Williamson Creek Greenbelt. It is my understanding that you will share this analysis with the City of Austin Planning Commission. It is my understanding that in your meeting with the Parks and Recreation Board on January 26, 2021, the Board (and/or staff and/or City legal staff), in response to your concerns about the public access easement creating liability for the landowner to the general public, mentioned that the Texas Recreational Use Statute would protect the landowner. Consequently, on behalf of the landowner, you have asked me for this analysis. The Texas Recreational Use Statute and the case law: Texas Civil Practice Remedies Code Chapter 75 discusses limitations on a landowner’s liability arising from a third party’s recreational use of the landowner’s property (the Texas Recreational Use Statute or “RUS”). Specific to this discussion, sections 75.002 and 75.003 pertain to the private, non-agricultural land that is used for recreational purposes. The RUS defines recreational activity broadly, including hunting, fishing, swimming, boating, camping, hiking, exploring, bicycling, dog-walking, and “pleasure driving”, among other activities. Additionally, Mike McHone February 8, 2021 Page 2 soccer,1 diving,2 and playing on playground equipment3 have been held to be recreation within the meaning of the statute. Under the Texas RUS, a landowner who gives permission for others to enter their property for recreational purposes does not assure that the property is safe and does not owe their guest any …
Vision & Goals 1. 1.1.0 (b): why is the language, “Use green infrastructure to protect environmentally sensitive areas and integrate nature into the city,” different from the language in Imagine Austin? Staff response: This is the language in the current TCM from rule adoption in 2014, staff is open to suggestions to better match Imagine Austin. Pedestrian Facilities 1. 4.1.1 (B): Is 80” sufficient for a vertical clearance considering standard male heights in the US? Staff response: 80 inches is the vertical clearance in ADA and PROWAG and TAS, however we did update this vertical clearance to 8 feet in the latest draft. 2. 4.1.1 (C): Does this ensure that there are no windy/circuitous sidewalks unless unavoidable? Staff response: Additional criteria and language has been added to Section 4.1.3 in latest draft: "Meandering paths should avoid sharp turns or transitions and gradually transition no more than 1 ft. off path per 5 ft. of sidewalk length and maintain a straight section no less than the width of the sidewalk between transitions, where able". 3. 4.1.3: Any approval of flexible design standards must ensure that accessibility for users with mobility impairments is prioritized. Can this be added to provide clarity? Staff response: This is covered by PROWAG and TAS standard requirements, of which the TCM requires users to follow. 4. 4.1.6: Can staff clarify what “depending on site conditions” means here? Staff response: This language was removed in the latest draft and section 4.1.6 changed to reflect director approval in addition to sidewalk ordinance and LDC requirements. 5. 4.2.2 Table 4-1: Is 1200’ appropriate for Level 2 and 3 streets that are not on the Transit Priority Network? This includes streets such as E 6th and E 12th. Staff response: This has been changed in the latest draft to reflect 600 feet. 6. 4.2.2 (A): Can staff explain how this applies to crossings? Staff response: This can be used as justification to require a crossing if the distance between crossings exceeds Table 4-1. 7. General: Where are the guidelines for locating bus stops and shelters, including the cross-sections for such facilities with pedestrian facilities. Staff response: These are located in Section 6 and are included in the pedestrian zone. Comprehensive Transportation Review 1. 10.2.0 (D) Why are other strategies to reduce VMT or automobile usage not included in this, such as parking reductions combined with other strategies, locating developments in proximity …
April 27, 2021 Planning Commission Q & A Report B-12 / B-14: Question Commissioner Connolly I'm reviewing items 12-14, and find it would be helpful if staff could provide us with more information about the Capitol View Corridor overlap with 11th and 12th st. Specifically, I think it would be immensely helpful in our discussion if we could know what the height determinations are for the parcels in the Urban Renewal Plan area that fall within the CVC. Please let me know if you need any clarification around this. Staff Response: There are two CVCs that affect portions of the East 11th Street NCCD and Urban Renewal Plan (URP). The first and most prominent is the “East Seventh Street Bridge over the Texas-New Orleans Railroad” which covers the north side of East 11th Street from Branch to Navasota Streets within the boundaries of the URP. It does not affect Rosewood Avenue. The second is the “11th Street Threshold” corridor which end at Branch Street. See map below. I cannot tell you how the CVCs may or may not affect development along 11th Street. What I can say, is that two approximately four-story buildings that are 50’-60’ tall (Street-Jones and Snell Buildings) were constructed along that corridor, I believe in the 1990s or early 2000s. Question Commissioner Connolly: Is there any way we can find more precise information, or calculations about the high allowances for the areas indicated under those two CVCs? It seems that we may be granting a significant increase in entitlements in the area, but it would be helpful to understand what the effective size and where the precise locations of that increase will be. Staff Response: Calculating the CVC requires calculations that I don’t know how to do and would not be available by this evening. What I was able to find is existing building heights which can serve as proxy measurements of what is allowed under the CVC affecting E. 11th St. I did some research and reached out to colleagues and this is what I was able to find for three buildings along the north side of the street. • Street-Jones Building (55’-59’) • Snell Building (45’) The sloping topography on the site where these were built likely accounts to their differing heights. • East Village Lofts (white building with orange panels) (50’) I am not an expert in CVCs, but it is my understanding …

Story: What did you hear from the community? Several disparities around testing and vaccination towards the Latino Community. Several complaints and conversations have been hosted by our commission, the Austin Latino Coalition, GAVA, Community Resilience Trust, to name a few around health disparities affecting the Latino community. There continues to be a huge digital divide issue for Latinos to register to get a vaccine. Problem: What is the problem you identify? APH needs more staffing support and there needs to be more inclusive practices to better ensure easier access to vaccination. Current Funding: APH, Biden Administration funding, CARES Act $330 Million to Invest in Community Health Workers. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/03/25/f act-sheet-biden- administration-announces-historic-10-billion-investment-to-expand-access-to-covid-19-vaccines-and- build-vaccine-conf idence-in-hardest-hit-and-highest-risk-communities/ Deadline 5/3/202 https://www.cdcfoundation.org/CBO-VaccineConf idence-RFP?inline How does the problem show up in your community? Who is most impacted by the problem? Considering all of the information you have or have not collected above, how do we solve for this problem? Implement more walk up vaccination sites where an appointment is not necessary nor a car is necessary to receive a vaccine. Similar to: Walk-up First dose COVID-19 vaccine- DELCO Center https://www.f acebook.com/events/218392352961897 & Walk In First dose COVID-19 Vaccine- Mexican Consulate https://www.f acebook.com/photo?fbid=1147117225763797&set=a.107495663059297 Implement a community health worker framework and invest a budget into hiring and developing a community health worker framework. The city needs to allocate budget to invest in community based organizations that can help address vaccination issues - outsource RFP contracts to vendors who have the trust of the community to help increase vaccination rates and help tackle vaccine misinformation. Increase the access points for walk up vaccinations. Ensure it is easy for people to access through CapMetro and transportation. Equitable access points in the eastern crescent. Provide more assistance to enrollment - calling the hotline. Ensure Language Access during telephone call and on information that’s distributed. Ensure diversity of vendors and staff providing vaccination assistance. Story: What did you hear from the community? The Latino community has experienced hardship due to COVID. Several businesses have been impacted, nonprofits that help directly impacted Austinites have seen their demand increase, and there has been an economic impact where people are needing more financial assistance in rent support, direct cash aid, and assistance with bills and emergency expenses. There are also several issues around accessing vaccines and selecting vendors that can meet the needs of a diverse constituent base. Food access is also a large issue during COVID. …
