The consequence is, that in comparison of what then was, there are remaining only the bones of the wasted body..all the richer and softer parts of the soil having fallen away, and the mere skeleton of the land being left. But in the primitive state of the country, its mountains were high hills covered with soil, and the plains, as they are termed by us, of Phelleus were full of rich earth, and there was abundance of wood in the mountains. Of this last the traces still remain, for although some of the mountains now only afford sustenance to bees, not so very long ago there were still to be seen roofs of timber cut from trees growing there, which were of a size sufficient to cover the largest houses; …

It found that summer initial soil moisture conditions were a strong predictor of drought or flood years. • Englehart and Douglas (2002) examined patterns of drought and flooding from 1910 to 2000 in central United States with large-scale climate modes, including El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), La Niña, and Pacific Decadal Oscillation, and found that antecedent soil moisture and vegetation growth were better predictors of extended dry conditions. • Pal et al (2000, 2001, 2002) used regional modeling to show that local soil moisture conditions affected drought and flood conditions in the Midwest United States by creating anticyclones similar to Namias (1960) hypothesis. • Koster et al (2004) used multiple models to show Central Texas into the high plains to the north have a strong coupling between soil moisture and local climate, including temperature and precipitation.

Nowak et al 2014 calculated that across the United States 17 million tons of NO2, O3, PM2.5, SO2 were removed by trees in 2010. In Travis and Hays Counties a range of 1.87-3.37 tons/km2 of NO2, O3, PM2.5, SO2 were removed by trees in 2010. “96.3 percent of pollution removal from trees occurred on rural land” Brabec et al. 2002 concluded that impervious cover needed to be refined with forest versus open cover to accurately predict pollution attenuation and surface runoff for land planning. ” In addition to the focus on impervious thresholds, there is preliminary evidence in the scientific literature that the new model for watershed-based water quality planning requires an equal focus on threshold amounts of forest cover in the watershed that can act to mitigate the impervious areas within the system.” Nowak, David J.; Hirabayashi, Satoshi; Bodine, Allison; Greenfield, Eric. 2014.

NEW FENCE LOOKING FROM NORTH NEIGHBOR (marked in red on survey) ITEM05/14 NEIGHBOR’S FENCE AT 4527 AVE G approx. same height (9 ft) as new fence for which we are applying for a variance (shown on right of image). “…will not alter the character of the area adjacent to the property…” ITEM05/15 ITEM05/16 ITEM05/17 ITEM05/18
Variance request: fencing at 4523 Avenue G Victoria Goodman & Mark Sainsbury Owners ITEM05/1-PRESENTATION Background: pool • Because of the pool we built, we constructed a new fence along our southern and eastern boundaries for which we received variance C15-2009-0013 (unanimous approval). • Along our eastern boundary the total height of the 2009 fence is 9 feet: 6 feet solid topped by 3 feet ornamental trellis. • When we acquired the immediately adjacent property to our north, we extended the eastern fence and continued it along our northern boundary, with an exactly matching 9 foot fence: 6 feet solid topped by 3 feet ornamental trellis. • That is the fence for which we now seek a variance.

ITEM05/12-PRESENTATION Good fences make good neighbors • We consulted our immediate neighbors before construction and they were, and, as the letters we’ve submitted show, still are, enthusiastic: they regard the new fence as a great improvement. • We hope we can keep it.
