Inspiring Conservation through Birding 3710 Cedar Street, Box 5 Austin, TX. 78705 512.300. BIRD (2473) www.travisaudubon.org info@travisaudubon.org July 14, 2020 To the Planning Commission: Travis Audubon remains in favor of MF-3 zoning for the property adjacent to Blair Woods, 5201 E MLK. We support the City of Austin and Stonegate Neighborhood Association’s assessment that a lower- density zoning designation is more appropriate for the site. We have gathered independent geological and hydrological assessments of both tracts. We now understand that increasing impervious cover to 65% at 5201 E MLK is unlikely (but not impossible) to affect the pond, wetlands, and drainages on our property. We continue to have concerns about other effects of high-density development adjacent to the restored habitat. Travis Audubon will continue to stand for development at scale rather than maximal up-zoning; the City can provide protection for natural spaces and still provide housing in growing neighborhoods. We appreciate that Thrower showed several examples of MF-6 development in their discussion, but we would like to ask whether any of them are next door to a 10-acre nature preserve? Blair Woods is the only greenspace within a 10-minute walk for almost 1000 neighbors in this community. That number will only continue to increase. Being sure that the preserve is protected as even more people move to this part of town benefits everyone. The Austinites who will live along MLK in 20 or 50 or 100 years will thank the Commission for having the foresight to balance development with protection for an important natural and historical site that future generations can enjoy. We must think about and try to avoid potential unintended negative effects of such intense development so near the preserve. Travis Audubon’s mission is to be good stewards of this habitat both now and in the future, and that requires us to support zoning no higher than MF-3.

Joe Reynolds July 14 Planning Commission Meeting Items 6, 7, 8 7113 Burnet Rd Chair and Commissioners, I’m Joe Reynolds; I live on West 49th St. I’m a member of the Allandale Neighborhood Assn. Zoning Committee. I’ve also been very active with the Burnet Rd Corridor Project. I’ve been to two meetings with presentations describing this project and I have reservations and concerns. 1] The height included in the applicant’s proposed land use category is excessive. In the earlier meetings the potential height was disavowed, yet is still included. The height profiles in the staff alternative MF-6-NP are more appropriate. The required height compatibility in the staff land use category is preferred. 2] In the two presentations I attended, the developer indicated that a completely residential development was the goal. I agree with that goal. Commercial uses in similar settings are often unsuccessful. They fail because the customer base within the project is too small to support the business, and ‘outside’ customer access isn’t supported by the development standards. Access from Burnet Rd to commercial use at this site is highly problematical because of the road configuration and commercial use should not be included. 3] For Allandale, traffic is the most troubling aspect of this project. As part of my efforts on the Burnet Corridor Project, I studied this intersection. The Burnet Corridor Project road design has all left-turn exits from property blocked by a median barrier. So, for this proposed development all southbound destinations must be accomplished by first going North. The Burnet Corridor expects this part of Burnet to be worked by 2023. Until the southbound travel is completely blocked, staff has flagged the trouble caused by vehicles queued for the existing Greenlawn traffic signal which is located just at the northern boundary of this property. The presentations, made in the two meeting I attended, asserted that the developer would secure a binding agreement with the shopping complex adjoining just North, for residential traffic to use the parking area of the complex to access the Greenlawn traffic signal. Access to Burnet via the signal would allow southbound traffic turns. That agreement for use of the center is missing. None of the three agenda items associated with this project should be approved absent that traffic light access. I have found no TIA for the proposed project. Analysis of traffic at this location, as part of the Burnet Corridor studies, …
MEMORANDUM ************************************************************************ TO: Conner Kenny, Chair Planning Commission Members July 13, 2020 Planning and Zoning Department C14-2020-0016, – 7113 Burnet Road Late Backup – Reciprocal Access Easement Agreement FROM: Mark Graham, Senior Planner DATE: RE: ************************************************************************ On Thursday, July 9, 2020, Michael Gaudini, Agent with Armbrust and Brown, submitted a copy of the executed and recorded “Reciprocal Access Easement Agreement” that provides signalized access to 7113 Burnet Road. The Agreement was reviewed by Austin Transportation Engineering, Sangeeta Jain, and her comments were revised in the Amanda system on Friday July 10, 2020. These comments were received after the staff report was submitted for the July 14, 2020 Planning Commission meeting. Please see Sangeeta Jain comments below. Updated July 10, 2020: “A reciprocal access easement has been created and recorded by the owner with the tract to the north of this site. This will allow for safe ingress and egress from this property at the Greenlawn Parkway, which has a traffic signal. Additional mitigations may be required at the time of site plan, when the land uses and intensities have been finalized. Attachment: Reciprocal Access Easement Agreement
July 10, 2020 RE: C14-2017-0010 - 4500 Nuckols Crossing Road Rezoning NPA-2016-0014.01 Plan Amendment - 4500 Nuckols Crossing Road Rezoning To Planning Commissioners and City Council Members, Based on information received at the 07/08/2020 meeting with City Staff, Applicant, Austin Transportation Department, SE Combined Neighborhood Plan Contact Team and concerned neighbors, the Los Arboles Homeowners' Association OPPOSES the proposed development at 4500 Nuckols Crossing. Some of the considerations for opposition are listed below. 1. The proposed driveway to 4500 Nuckols Crossing will be only 150 ft from Viewpoint Dr on the east side of Nuckols Crossing and an entrance to Woodway Village Apartments on the west side of Nuckols Crossing. The accepted distance between driveways should be 500 ft. 2. The proposed solution to the driveway problem of adding turn lanes with vertical delineators in the middle of Nuckols Crossing will cause a major hazard, in our opinion. Nuckols Crossing/E St Elmo is used as a thoroughfare for many commuters in SE Austin to and from downtown. Traffic that is driving from the blind curve at E St Elmo onto Nuckols Crossing must go up a hill which will make it difficult to see the vertical delineators in the middle of the street. And the traffic driving north from Stassney and Teri Rd on Nuckols Crossing will need to go around the vertical delineators onto a widened area of the right of way before swerving back onto the main road, a short distance from the blind curve where the road turns into E St Elmo. 3. Traffic on Nuckols Crossing is already 10 times the amount that this road is designed to ideally handle. Traffic counts taken in February 2020 indicate that existing vehicle trips is at 14,929. According to Section 25-6-116 of the Land Development Code, streets which have pavement width less than 30 feet are considered to be operating at an undesirable traffic level if the average daily traffic volume for such roadway exceeds 1,200 vehicles per day. Nuckols Crossing Road is currently operating at an undesirable level and will continue to do so with the addition of site traffic. These statistics, and the opinion that Nuckols Crossing is currently at an undesirable level, are taken directly from the Zoning Review Change Sheet provided by City Staff. The proposed development will add another 979 vehicle trips, an increase of over 13%. 4. The City has no plan to …
