P-1/1 P-1/2 From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Ray Collins Ramirez, Elaine Re: 4320 James Casey C15-2019-0046 Wednesday, February 12, 2020 6:07:56 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Following up on and updating my October 21st email, Ms. Nelson brought an engineer, Jerry Perales, to the November 7th contact team meeting. They both presented. There was agreement that the only way forward for this property was via a site plan application. This based on what DSD wrote when it denied 2018-129959 DA, what the BoA commissioners said at their August 12th meeting, and the SMNP contact team's policy that votes on variances will only occur after DSD's site plan review. Mr. Perales stated he could submit a site plan to DSD before Thanksgiving. My personal observation was that the owner, Dr. Wu, put the property up for sale instead. As you are well aware, Mr. Perales submitted a site plan on January 13th prior to that evening's BoA meeting at which you presented this case as part of a discussion of multiple postponements. See the link. https://youtu.be/OVfpiuyv_xU Yesterday, Ms. Nelson sent me an email requesting a letter of no objection for the March 9th BoA meeting. I reminded her of the outcome of the November contact team meeting, related my knowledge of events since that meeting, and informed her that her variance request would not appear on a SMNP contact team agenda until after DSD's site review. As of close of work on February 12th, Amanda shows that Mr. Perales' January 13th site plan application has failed its completeness check. My personal observation while driving down James Casey on February 10th is that the property is once again up for sale. In summary, last fall Ms. Nelson asked me for a letter of no objection to her parking variance, I put her on the agenda for our November 7th meeting, and yesterday she once again asked me for a letter of no objection as if the contact team's November meeting and subsequent events had never occurred.

Questions for Historic Commission regarding 4300 Ave D (Clark-Emmert): 1. there are two doors that were not present when the house was constructed, that are currently unused/unusable: a) on the west side, facing the alley a door leads to the hallway containing the laundry. We have not opened as long as we’ve lived in the house. b) on the north side facing 4302 Ave D is a door that is covered by plywood and drywall on the interior c) We would like to remove both doors and concrete stoops and replace with either siding (north side) and is in the back of the pantry. or a matching window (west side) 2. There is rot in some of the sleeping porch window frames, and one contractor has recommended replacing them with clad units of the exact same size and lite configuration. I believe these windows are from when the sleeping porch was enclosed – roughly the 1940’s North door West door from sidewalk West door from yard 4300 site plan 4300 floor plan

..De ITEM 2 DRAFT RCA Posting Language ..Title Approve the Austin Energy Resource, Generation and Climate Protection Plan to 2030. Lead Department Austin Energy Fiscal Note A fiscal note is not required. Prior Council Action: For More Information: Erika Bierschbach, Vice President, Energy Market Operations and Resource Planning (512) 322-6476; Jeff Vice, Director, Local Government Issues (512) 322-6087 Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: March 9, 2020- To be reviewed by the Electric Utility Commission and the Resource Management Commission. Additional Backup Information: Austin Energy requests approval of the Austin Energy Resource, Generation and Climate Protection Plan to 2030 (“Resource Plan”). The Resource Plan was developed by the Electric Utility Commission Resource Planning Working Group in collaboration with Austin Energy staff. The Working Group is composed of community members representing the Electric Utility Commission and Resource Management Commission; advocates for the environment, low-income customers and small businesses; and representatives of large commercial customers. The Working Group met 10 times over a period of 6 months and approved the Resource Plan unanimously. The process of updating the Resource Plan involves extensive analysis of the expected risks, costs and opportunities regarding Austin Energy’s generation fleet. The Resource Plan is a road map for the management of Austin Energy’s generation resources and is intended to be flexible and dynamic, allowing it to reflect changing circumstances. It brings together demand and energy management options over the planning horizon. As always, execution of individual elements of the Resource Plan will be subject to affordability impacts and Council approval. Strategic Outcome(s) Government That Works for All
FINAL DRAFT 03/06/20 Austin Energy Resource, Generation and Climate Protection Plan to 2030 On August 12, 2019, the Electric Utility Commission (EUC) created the Resource Plan Working Group1 (Working Group) to provide leadership and guidance to Austin Energy and the Austin City Council on technical and market issues to meet environmental, efficiency and affordability goals established by the Austin City Council.2 This Austin Energy Resource, Generation and Climate Protection Plan to 2030 (2030 Plan) outlines the Working Group’s recommendations and strategic goals and represents an extensive effort of the Austin community working through the Working Group and Austin Energy staff. The 2030 Plan is based on analysis of the risks, costs and opportunities to meet future demand for electricity. The 2030 Plan is intended to be flexible and dynamic in order to respond to changing circumstances, including customer electric load, economic conditions, energy prices, and technological development, while strictly committing to firm carbon reductions. The 2030 Plan updates and replaces the Generation and Climate Protection Plan to 2027.3 To the extent the provisions of this 2030 Plan are inconsistent with prior resource plans for Austin Energy or related City Council resolutions adopting such plans, this 2030 Plan will prevail upon its adoption by the City Council. The Working Group believes this 2030 Plan is groundbreaking in its approach and can serve as a model for others in achieving immediate, large-scale environmental benefits and reducing emissions, while maintaining affordable electricity rates. Vision Statement This 2030 Plan commits Austin Energy to continuing to provide affordable, dependable and safe electricity service to residents and businesses while pursuing the City of Austin’s climate protection and sustainability goals4 and the directives set forth in the Austin Climate Emergency Resolution.5 As a part of its commitment, Austin Energy will maintain an energy supply portfolio sufficient to offset customer demand while eliminating carbon and other pollutant emissions from its electric generation facilities as rapidly as feasible within the limitations set by the Austin City Council. Austin Energy commits to providing access to the benefits of this 2030 Plan for limited-income communities and communities of color. 2 The Working Group Charter can be found at: https://austinenergy.com/wcm/connect/2febfc53-8bad-4029-aabe- 1 The Working Group members are listed at the end of this 2030 Plan.
