ITEM02/1-LATE BACKUP OPPOSITION ITEM02/2-LATE BACKUP OPPOSITION ITEM02/3-LATE BACKUP OPPOSITION ITEM02/4-LATE BACKUP OPPOSITION ITEM02/5-LATE BACKUP OPPOSITION ITEM02/6-LATE BACKUP OPPOSITION Hi there Elaine, I have reviewed the details for Case Number C15-2025-0007 and I have some significant concerns about this work. This is my first time interacting with this sort of process, so please let me know what can help me make my case that this work should not be permitted. I believe that the Area Character will be significantly negatively impacted as the proposed extension will loom over our property and remove the natural beauty of the green barrier that is currently there; to that end I believe the Application for Variance has been completed in bad faith and is not honest in its suggestion that the work will be minimally visible from adjacent properties. Below I provide more details on my concern: I, Parham Michael Ossareh, have lived in Unit #24 of 1529 Barton Springs Road (highlighted in green below) since February 2015. My home is immediately down the canyon from the proposed work at 601 Kinney Ave (highlighted in red below). The proposed extension (orange below) will remove the natural green barrier which provides privacy between our properties. If this work is completed it'll result in a very important part of the appeal and value of my property being diminished significantly. It will also impact my neighbor, Thomas Stevenson, who lives at Unit 23. This natural barrier is also home to foxes and many birds which provide us joy and provide immense emotional value. ITEM02/7-LATE BACKUP OPPOSITION Here is a photo from our backyard of the green barrier, this work will result in completely destroying that and we'll be left looking at the underside of the proposed extension; I have highlighted the proposed extension area in orange. I also have significant concerns that the work will result in changed water run off which will impact the foundations of our existing buildings.

ITEM02/1-PPMT REQ BY NEIGH_2 ITEM02/2-PPMT REQ BY NEIGH_2 External Email - Exercise Caution I own and live in a unit at the Villas of Lost Canyon located at 1529 Barton Springs Rd APT 5 and just received news of the zoning variance being requested by 601 Kinney. Our community is directly impacted by the existing structure and proposed zoning variance for 601 Kinney. Specific concerns are as follows: 1. Our HOA has spent significant money to maintain the overgrowth caused by the owner of 601 Kinney not maintaining their property properly. 2. Since the construction of 601 Kinney, there was a significant flooding event that affected many of the units at Villas of Lost Canyon due to the placement of the structure and lack of adequate drainage/water flow control. This concern was never addressed by the owner of 601 Kinney thus the risks still exist for another catastrophic flooding event. 3. What little sunlight is able to reach the affected units at Villas of Lost Canyon will be completely shut off if a third story is added to 601 Kinney. The application states that the addition has limited visibility from neighboring properties which is patently false and it would be helpful if someone from the city came to inspect the property in light of the variance request. 4. Most importantly, if the proposed variance is allowed and construction ensues, most of the trees and greenery would be razed between our property and 601 Kinney increasing concerns for future erosion and water run off/localized flooding issues and would also create an eyesore for all affected. We have a lovely canyon and our 30 unit property was built to enhance the canyon and preserve the beauty. The variance requested will be an eyesore and also threaten our units from future flooding/drainage issues as well as completely block sunlight to affected units. I strongly oppose this variance request and would hope that city officials would come inspect this property in light of the request to confirm what has been stated above.
