Besides the fact that the goal here is not to block the building , because i know it will occur, but to look at it in a different capacity. First, my concern is that next door ( South ) they are building a very large two story home, once a one story bungalow. Then on the North side of my property, they are adding a 2 story structure obviously in the back yard. So what i will experience is something that i would like to ask to re-consider giving the variance to basically constrict a breeze in my back yard because of two new large structures. Not to mention no sun light for grass, landscaping, gardening, etc. How about just sun bathing to capture Vitamin D , especially during COVID. I also am interested in knowing if the home requesting the variance, ever pull permits for some of the past remodels, enclosing a garage, adding a large carport, adding sq footage, and now adding this structure. Also on the property is a portable building next door to me. (unsightly). I am sure the city is looking at the impervious coverage , because it sure does seem tight on this property. There is also a creek on the North side of the property. That would be a better location for this structure, because it's not really bothering anyone on that side, because of a small creek. The accesses is also better to put a walk way to the back to accesses , rather than walking all the way around the property to accesses during rain? i really think the architect and the home owner could improve …
Blackshear Prospect Hill Neighborhood Association President: Alex Finnell – – 512.773.3379 February 3rd, 2021 To: City of Austin Board of Adjustment RE: C15-2020-0067 Address: 1112 Harvard Street Owner: Michael & Jeanette Abbink From: Blackshear Prospect Hill Neighborhood Association Subject: Letter of Support for Variance from LDC to reduce required on-site parking spaces to zero. Please note that on January 28th, 2021, the Blackshear Prospect Hill Neighborhood Association voted unanimously in favor of supporting Michael & Jeanette’s variance request from the Land Development Code to reduce the number of required on-site parking spaces to zero. Michael & Jeanette Abbink and their architect Ernesto Cragnolino of Alterstudio presented their intent to use the property at 1112 Harvard Street as an accessory studio to their planned home on the adjacent lot at 2414 East 11th Street. With the assurance that there would be no vehicular access to this subject property and that all visitor access would be from the adjacent property, the neighborhood’s concerns about removing on-site parking were adequately addressed. As Harvard Street is quite narrow, curved, and bound by extreme topography, in this particular and unique case removing on-site parking and removing access from the street should actually improve safety conditions.

ANIMAL ADVISORY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20210208-3-B Seconded By: Craig Nazor Date: February 10, 2021 Subject: Recommendation Motioned By: Jo Anne Norton Recommendation The Animal Advisory Commission, with support of Animal Services Office (ASO) leadership, recommends revised language to correct an apparently unintended substantive change to Section 3-4-7, “Vicious Dog”, that gave only one option for a dog deemed vicious, I.e., that the dog can no longer reside within City limits, and to remove language pertaining to bites to people that ASO prosecutes under the “Dangerous Dog Statute”. (See attachment) Description of Recommendation to Council This recommendation gives the family of a dog deemed vicious the option to keep their dog, as it was in Austin from 1908 until the codification error in 2002. Owners of dogs deemed vicious will also have the option to appeal the decision to Municipal Court, the same as dogs deemed “dangerous” under the Dangerous Dog Statute. Language discrepancies within Section 3-4-7 have been rectified. Rationale: Correcting the error allows families to keep their pets while improving public safety by having restrictions in place to mitigate a similar situation. Adding an appeal process complies with due process requirements and case law. Vote For: 9 Against: 0 Abstain: 0 Absent: 2 with one vacancy Attest: AAC Chair 1 of 1

Base requirements is 2 parking spaces + 3 for the 3 new total bathrooms being added, which is then reduced to 4 parking spaces because of Urban Roadways Parking Reduction, Section 25-6- 478 (A). The appellant disagrees and argues that these two properties lack the requisite number of parking spaces, based on application of Part 6, Section 7 (J) of the NCCD ordinance in an “SF-3-NCCD-NP”, Single-Family-Neighborhood Conservation Combining District- Neighborhood Plan zoning district. Note: Please reference North University Neighborhood Conservation Combining District, Ordinance No. 040826-58, PART 6 (7) Appellant is referring to (J) and Staff is referring to (K), page 22 of 46. BOARD’S DECISION: Feb 8, 2021 BOA meeting The public hearing was closed by Chair Don Leighton-Burwell, Board Member Rahm McDaniel motions to Grant the appellant’s appeal; Board Member Jessica Cohen seconds on a 10-0 vote; GRANTED APPELLANT’S APPEAL - The Board finds that the correct Interpretation is that the 20% Urban Core parking reduction applies only to those parking spaces required by 25-6 Appendix A and the additional parking requirement imposed under paragraph J of the NCCD applies if a Two-Family or Duplex Residential Use contains at least 5 bathrooms even if one (1) or both of the buildings comprising the Use contains fewer than 5 bathrooms-City Staff has only required 2 additional parking spaces in violation of the NCCD and City Staff has misapplied the Urban Core parking reduction to a zoning requirement and the initial interpretation is the correct one. FINDING: 1. There is a reasonable doubt of difference of interpretation as to the specific intent of the regulations or map in that: City Staff has only required two additional parking spaces in violation on the NCCD, city staff has misapplied the Urban Core parking reduction in granting parking reduction to zoning requirement. 2. An appeal of use provisions could clearly permit a use which is in character with the uses enumerated for the …
