Howard Plaza Subdivision 3127 E Howard Lane Manor, Texas 78653 512-470-0434 ppham@platrongroup.com Date: September 10, 2026 To: Nick Graham Hallstatt Drive Manor, Texas 78653 Subject: Zoning GR Response Letter for Event Venue Dear Mr. Graham, I am writing regarding the event venue at our Howard Plaza project. This letter follows the completion of the construction work and addresses certain concerns you raised prior to the start of construction in your area approximately two years ago. I would like to address some matters of interest to you: all the light poles we are installing are low-wattage (40 watts) and 15 feet tall; in the parking lot, we are installing only three of these poles, positioned one pole 30 feet, one pole 80 feet, and one pole 130 feet away from the fence separating the site from the residential area. All of the four buildings are being constructed with soundproofing features, including a window system that uses double-glazed glass up to one inch thick ( between argon and air trap), using 9 inches of open-cell spray foam insulation for the roof surface and 4 inches for the exterior walls with ¾” 3-layer stucco, 5/8” foam board, and double drywall of 5/8” thick. With all those technical specifications, we can be certain that the sound insulation capability reaches 90%, preventing sound from escaping the building. In accordance with our regulations, guests are not permitted to consume alcohol in the parking area or play loud music in outdoor areas every day after 9:00 PM during the summer (daylight saving time) and 8:00 PM during the winter. We do this because we know the next lot will be a KB home build in the future. At this time, we don't know if some tenants will be doing so yet, and some tenants even want to do an Event Venue location among the buildings (Building #1 at 1,300 feet in length, Building # 2 at 1,000 feet in length, Building # 3 at 800 feet in length, or Building # 4 at 165 feet in length). Even Buildings 1, 2, and 3 have a plot of land situated between them and the KB residential area. That place is too far from the KB residential area. We believe that the sound and noise would not be suitable for it. If you are concerned about noise from the parking lot in your area, I can propose that the …
Sirwaitis, Sherri Nick G Peter Pham RE: Zoning GR Response Letter for Event Venue Thursday, September 10, 2026 1:18:00 PM image001.png Conditional Use Permit Requirements and Process.docx From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Attachments: Hi Nick, No, the staff has already made and posted our recommendation for the Commission’s consideration. The Cocktail Lounge use and Liquor Sales use that you cite below cannot be prohibited in a CO as they are not permitted or conditional uses in the GR base district. The first zoning district that these uses are allowed is in the CS-1 base district. Outdoor Entertainment is a conditional use in the GR base district. Therefore, this use would require a conditional use permit that would be noticed and heard at a public hearing at the Zoning and Platting Commission. Please see the regulations for a CUP that are attached. The City of Austin Law Department does not recommend public restrictive covenants with zoning cases. If you and the applicant come to an agreement about items that cannot be included in a conditional overlay, then you will need to consider if you want to enter into a private restrictive covenant to formalize those conditions. Sincerely, Sherri Sirwaitis Planner Principal, Current Planning Division Austin Planning 512-974-3057 sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov Please note: E-mail correspondence to and from the City of Austin is subject to required disclosure under the Texas Public Information Act.

Two questions so I know where things stand before Tuesday: 1. Will staff recommend adding the following to the conditional overlay for the September 15 hearing? Prohibited uses (on the same adjacency rationale the case report applies to Club or Lodge): Indoor Entertainment Outdoor Entertaiinment Theater Cocktail Lounge Restaurant (General) Liquor Sales Maximum height of 25 feet / one story; a 25-foot setback along the eastern property line with no structures or parking within it; maximum impervious cover of 70% and FAR of 0.25:1; and a 2,000-vehicle-trip-per-day limit (essentially the W/LO standards now in place, as set out in Section X of my memorandum). 2. Is there a path for a public restrictive covenant covering the items in Mr. Pham's letter, even if it isn't through …

CITY OF AUSTIN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT COMMISSION RESOLUTION REQUESTING INDEPENDENT ANALYSIS OF CARBON-FREE RESOURCES ADDRESSING AUSTIN ENERGY’S 400-MEGAWATT RELIABILITY NEED CONSISTENT WITH CLIMATE EQUITY PLAN AND CLEAN ENERGY GOALS WHEREAS, the Austin Climate Equity Plan (2021) and Austin Energy's Resource, Generation, and Climate Protection Plan to 2035 — adopted unanimously by the Austin City Council in December 2024 — commit the City and its municipal utility to 100% carbon-free generation by 2035 and net-zero emissions by 2040, and direct all procurement and investment decisions to align with those goals; and WHEREAS, Austin Energy has identified approximately 575 annual reliability risk hours in the Austin load zone and determined that approximately 400 megawatts of additional dispatchable capacity is needed to address that risk, with an estimated budget of approximately $1 billion — a commitment of sufficient scale to warrant rigorous, independent evaluation of all available pathways; and WHEREAS, the technology landscape for carbon-free reliability resources has changed dramatically, with utility-scale and customer-scale battery storage costs continuing to decline, grid reconductoring enabling greater effective capacity from existing infrastructure, demand response programs achieving reliability performance previously associated only with centralized generation, time-of-use and real-time pricing programs reshaping peak load curves; and WHEREAS, a comprehensive portfolio of these carbon-free demand-side and grid- side resources — evaluated individually and in combination — may be capable of addressing all or a substantial portion of the identified 400-megawatt reliability need at total cost competitive with or below the approximately $1 billion budget, while advancing Austin's climate goals and providing year-round grid benefits rather than capacity dispatched only during reliability events; and WHEREAS, an independent, out-of-state technical consultant with no financial interest in any generation technology, vendor, or regional market is best positioned to evaluate these alternatives objectively and with access to the most current national experience deploying carbon-free reliability resources at scale; now, therefore, THEN BE IT RESOLVED that the Resource Management Commission urges that the approximately $1 billion identified to address the 400-megawatt reliability need be invested in a manner fully consistent with the Austin Climate Equity Plan and the 2035 Resource Plan; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Resource Management Commission requests that Austin City Council directs the Financial Services Department to engage an independent, out-of-state third-party technical consultant — selected through a competitive process with no financial relationship to any generation technology vendor, equipment manufacturer, or regional market participant — to conduct a comprehensive, …

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.
