The Case is for 101 & 102 Lago Verde Dr, Austin, Tx 78734. The Case is a variance request to: Decrease the min lot width from 100’ to 50’. Decrease the min interior side yard setback requirement from 10’ to 5’. I object to the variance request for the following reasons and recommend the variance request be denied: I have included a plat map for the Rio Vista Addition neighborhood. The Case requests a variance for the long, narrow Case tract. The Case tract appears to have been designed as a road ROW, not as a residential lot. The tract does not have a lot number like all the residential lots in the neighborhood. The Case tract may be 1 ac, but is long, skinny and does not lend itself to residential development. All the residential lots in the neighborhood are at least 100’ wide. The Case tract is approx 50’ wide. Each neighborhood residential property is required to have a septic system and water source.
