From: Jeanie McClellen < Sent: Tuesday, October 20, 2020 11:48 AM To: Sirwaitis, Sherri <Sherri.Sirwaitis@austintexas.gov>; Rivera, Andrew <Andrew.Rivera@austintexas.gov> Cc: a Subject: Case #C14-2020-0059 *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Ms. Sirawaitis and Mr. Rivera, I am writing as a resident who resides adjacent to the land in question of the above referenced case, just on the other side of Walnut Creek from the proposed development. I am a staunch proponent of the proposed use of the land for a variety of reasons but first and foremost because left undeveloped the land has been used as a homeless and vagrant camp, not only decreasing the desirability for buyers to consider our new property for residing or investment but also as a risk to property loss. As the former HOA president to Scofield Farms Meadows, I have had to call the police multiple times over a two year period for trespassing, camp fires, and theft. The homeless and various criminal actors have used that land to hide in or as cover to reach our property undetected. Developing the land in a responsible manner, in which I am confident after research into the developers and investors, is a must for our property and personal safety as well as a beautiful addition to this area that otherwise hosts far too many car repair, auto junkyard and low income housing alternatives. The proposed development will provide a far improved backdrop and extension to our own manicured neighborhood and I welcome the prospect of the build. Not to mention, the proposed trail that the City is planning behind our property - down the road... Would be a shame for the homeless and criminal actors to make that feel unsafe with the cover of the surrounding undeveloped land. In which case, who would use it? Better that the trail should serve not only our community but the intended residents of the new development as well.

AARC Workgroup meeting for the AAQoL Tuesday, October13. 12:00-1:00pm In attendance: Sona Shah, Schiller Liao, Kirk Yoshida, Debasree DasGupta. This meeting was essentially to review and analyze some of the discussions the group has had over the past few months with staff from PARD as well as Councilman Jimmy Flannigan. It is becoming apparent that construction on the next Phase at the AARC will be slower, due to the pandemic and other issues. There are also a number of aspects to be taken into account before much progress can be made even on design. These are: 1. The use of the neighboring campus at Rutherford that could help with the parking issues. 2. Building the bridge that would connect the two campuses with help from the Watershed department. 3. The availability of a public/private partnership that would help with the extra funds needed to build a Performance Arts Center along with the extra office space and parking that would be needed.
Resource Management Commission Resolution Supporting the Austin Climate Equity Plan October 20, 2020 WHEREAS, the City Council passed Resolution No. 20150604-048 adopting the Austin Community Climate Plan and creating the Joint Sustainability Committee; and WHEREAS, the Austin Community Climate Plan includes a schedule for reporting and updates, with a full plan revision in 2020; and WHEREAS, the harmful effects of climate change, including floods, droughts, heat waves and wildfires, are worsening in the Austin area and around the world; and WHEREAS, the “Global Warming of 1.5 °C” issued in 2018 by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change illustrates that keeping the average global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius will help to avoid severe effects of climate change, including ecosystems collapsing, that will very likely occur if warming reaches 2 degrees Celsius; and WHEREAS, low-income communities and communities of color in Austin and around the world are the most impacted by extreme weather and pollution despite having contributed least to the drivers of climate change and pollution; and WHEREAS, harmful land use and the refusal to create or enforce real environmental regulations continue to disproportionately expose communities of color to environmental harms, leading to unjust quality of life outcomes both historically and today; and WHEREAS, low-income communities and communities of color must be prioritized to receive the disproportionate benefits of the transition to a pollution-free society to remedy disproportionate harm done historically and presently; and WHEREAS, if we design and implement programs to serve low-income communities and communities of color, we will positively impact all residents in the Austin area ; and WHEREAS, the Paris Agreement within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change set a goal of “keeping a global temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius”; and WHEREAS, current international, federal, state and local commitments to greenhouse gas reduction fall short of what is needed to keep average global warming to either 1.5 or 2 degrees Celsius and the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s “Emissions Gap Report 2019” illustrates the significant magnitude in the gap between international commitments and needed emissions reductions; and WHEREAS, the City of Austin is a member of C40 Cities, a network of global cities committed to addressing climate change; and WHEREAS, C40 Cities has developed guidance for cities on setting …
