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.

C15-2026-0036 4107 Lakeplace Lane ITEM06/1-PRESENTATION ITEM06/2-PRESENTATION Existing tram was constructed in approximately 2001 by a previous owner. ITEM06/3-PRESENTATION ITEM06/4-PRESENTATION ITEM06/5-PRESENTATION ITEM06/6-PRESENTATION Variances Requested: 1. Variance from Section 25-2-551(B)(3)(a) (Lake Austin District Regulations) to permit mechanical pedestrian ("LA") zoning district. access in a Lake Austin 2. Variance from Section 25-2-551(E)(2) (Lake Austin District Regulations) to permit development on a slope with a gradient of more than 35 percent. ITEM06/7-PRESENTATION Variances Findings: Reasonable Use: The zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: The shoreline setback area restrictions and additional development standards based on slope gradient regulations are only applicable to properties zoned Lake Austin residence district ("LA") and do not apply to other zoning districts along Lake Austin. Without the variances the property owner would not be able to access all areas of the property. ITEM06/8-PRESENTATION Variances Findings: Hardship: a. The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: The topography of the property between the residence and Lake Austin is steeply sloped and varies from 35% to over 1,500% with a vertical drop in excess of 60 feet which makes it extremely difficult to access the entire property without a tram. ITEM06/9-PRESENTATION Variances Findings: Hardship: b. The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: The property sits on a sheer vertical cliff verses rolling slopes that are more common along Lake Austin. There is also an abundance of large, mature tress that are heavily concentrated along the lake side. ITEM06/10-PRESENTATION Variances Findings: Area Character: The variance will not alter the character of the area adjacent to the property, will not impair the use of adjacent conforming property, and will not impair the purpose of the regulations of the zoning district in which the property is located because: These variances would not alter the character of adjacent properties nor impair their use of their own property because the tram is located within a heavily vegetated area and cannot be seen by the adjacent neighbors. LA zoning allows for roads and driveways to be located within the shoreline setback area with a gradient of more than 35%, but due to the extreme topography on the subject property, these types of improvements are not feasible. A tram is required to access all of the property. ITEM06/11-PRESENTATION

Variance Presentation for Case Number C15-0037/714 Post Oak St. Meeting date September 14, 2026 Good evening. My name is Ms. Shesh Aandahl. Photo #1. The subject house is highlighted. The variance is a request to make the existing balcony into bedroom conditioned space. Photo #2. This is the front view of the house. It’s cute. Photo #3. house on the right varies from three to two stories. This is the rear view of the house. The house to the left is a one story. The Photo #4. The backyard faces a creek and is green year around. Photo #5. The space is just over 5 feet wide. This is the only part of the second floor balcony that is visible to a neighbor. First, the good news about this variance is that it is simply changing already existing balcony space to conditioned bedroom space. Second, this change can only be seen minutely by the neighbor in the three story home next door. Third, this request complies with all LDC setback codes. The footprint of the house is not being expanded at all. Fourth, there will be no nature, home characteristics, or neighborhood alterations or impacts. Fifth, this request complies with LDC Code #25-2-779, Small Lot Single Family Residential Use, subsections (D) #9, maximum building coverage of 55 percent, and (J) #1, #2 and #3. However, subsection (J) #4 makes the gross floor area stipulated in subsections (D) #9 and (J) #3 unavailable. Please help us rectify this hardship. Thank you.

We’re a nonprofit that produces fundraiser concerts for other nonprofits … while uplifting the music community How Our Model Works Our model is simple: ● We produce a fundraiser concert and cover costs through donations and sponsorships. ● The nonprofit sells the tickets and keeps 100% of the ticket revenue. ● Local artists get paid well. ● Independent venues get a crowd and revenue. We do all the work Nonprofits get all the money The Austin music community thrives Everybody wins and enjoys a fun night for a great cause Triple Benefits: An ecosystem that funds bands + venues + nonprofits Creating an Ecosystem Emerging Artists ● All artists paid over market ● 80 performers enrolled so far ● Exposure to new audiences Independent Venues ● Fill rooms at off times ● New audiences ● High bar sales Nonprofits ● Raise money ● Community events without cost ● Activate new supporters Introduction Current grants to end-users such as venues and artists are vital They support our current community But we are missing opportunities to maximize impact and grow capacity Everyone is chasing the same pool of public, private, and charitable funding More Efficient Ways to Support the Music Community Financial Multiplier Every $ to IHD = 2x impact through ticket sales and donations Directly funding more nonprofits, artists, and venues How IHD Grows the Music Ecosystem Inclusive and Accessible Traditional fundraisers are for rich people We enable participation by the entire community ● Staff ● Volunteers ● People who are served Capacity Building for Nonprofits An entry point for new donors Events for groups that can’t put on an expensive gala Direct connection to the community Expand the Audience <10% of Austinites go to indie venues Our nonprofit partners and our early/safe events create an entry point that grows the audience Bands get new audiences that will rarely see them at a late show SUPPORT ECOSYSTEM BUILDERS AND CAPACITY BUILDERS Recommendation ● We recommend that capacity-building organizations should be considered for their own funding category ● That’s how we get scale and growth from our investment in arts ● Examples – Orgs that enable long- term growth beyond the grant a.

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.
