COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 202503XX-X Recommendation on the CDC Election Process RECOMMENDATION Whereas, the Austin Community Development Commission (CDC) consists of eight members democratically selected to represent residents from each of the eight geographic areas of Travis County, in order to represent low-income populations eligible to be served under the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG); Whereas, Board members serve for a term of four years beginning March 1 of the year of appointment; Whereas, the eight democratically selected members shall serve an initial two-year term, with an additional maximum of two consecutive four-year terms; Whereas, a transparent, accessible, and well-communicated election process is essential to ensuring meaningful participation by low-income residents and individuals with lived experience; Whereas, community members have expressed that current election notifications do not provide adequate time for outreach, planning, or participation; Whereas, community members have also noted confusion regarding the steps required to vote or to become a candidate, indicating a need for clearer instructions and educational materials; Whereas, greater engagement between current CDC members, candidates, and community organizations would increase trust, strengthen relationships, and improve civic participation; Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Austin Community Development Commission advises Austin Public Health to widely advertise the CDC election and election process at least one month in advance, using multiple reminders and multiple communication platforms to reach as many community members as possible. Be it further resolved that the Commission advises Austin Public Health to provide training and educational materials on the election process, the history and purpose of the Commission, roles and responsibilities of commissioners, and how community members can participate.

Be it further resolved that the Commission advises increasing community-facing information that highlights the CDC’s focus on low-income populations and people with lived experience, ensuring these communities know the election is intended for them. Be it further resolved that the Commission advises providing clear, accessible instructions—both in writing and through optional training—on how to cast a vote, how to submit candidate information, and how community organizations can properly conduct their elections.

r-rr�on"I C,16-lOl&;-0041 Applicants: Luke and Cherry Scarmardo Property: Lot 7, Block A, Wooten Terrace Address: 8402 Kimble Cove, Austin, TX Request: Front-yard setback variance for attached carport Introduction Luke and Cherry request a variance to allow construction of a 12' x 18' attached carport extending over the existing driveway at the front of their home. The carport is designed to restore functional covered parking while maintaining compatibility with the neighborhood and preserving the architectural character of the property. Hardship & Practical Need The original one-car garage on the right side of the house was permanently transformed prior to their purchase July 1981 into a storage area and a smaller one-third garage space through installation of a permanent interior wall. This modification eliminated the ability to park a full-size vehicle inside the structure. As a result, the property no longer has any usable covered parking. Neighborhood Compatibility The carport aligns with the existing driveway and maintains the established streetscape. Its scale and placement are consistent with similar covered parking structures found throughout the neighborhood. The design avoids visual clutter, preserves sightlines, and maintains the low-profile appearance typical of Wooten Terrace homes. The 12-foot width matches the existing garage opening, and the 18-foot depth provides adequate vehicle coverage without extending excessively toward the street. Minimum Variance Necessary This request represents the minimum variance needed to restore functional covered parking to the property. The carport is limited to a single-vehicle width, placed entirely over the existing driveway. No alternative location on the lot would meet the functional need without creating greater impact or violating other setback requirements. Conclusion The proposed 12' x 18' carport is a practical, modest improvement that restores ess�ntial functionality lost due to the permanent interior modification of the original �arag�. It ts c�mpat1ble with the neighborhood, minimizes visual impact, and represents the least mtrusIve solution to meet the property's needs. Luke and Cherry respectfully request approval of this variance.

And (cid:131) Section 25-2-551 (Lake Austin (LA) District Regulations) (E)(2) to permit 260 square feet development on a slope with a gradient of more than 35%, in order to maintain a tram in a “LA”, Lake Austin zoning district. For the above address the Subdivision Plat was recorded on March 25, 1915. Note: Land Development Code, Section 25-2-551 Lake Austin (LA) District Regulations {A} In this section: (1) SHORELINE means the 492.8 topographic contour line along the shores of Lake Austin. (2) SHORELINE SETBACK means a line parallel to the shoreline and at a distance from the shoreline that is prescribed in this section. (3) SHORELINE SETBACK AREA means an area between the shoreline and the shoreline setback. ITEM05/2 (B) This subsection specifies shoreline setbacks in a Lake Austin (LA) district. (1) The shoreline setback is: (a) 75 feet; or (b) 25 feet, if: (i) the lot is located in a subdivision plat recorded before April 22, 1982, or is a legal tract exempt from the requirement to plat; and (ii) the distance between the shoreline and the front lot line, or the property line of a l egal tract, is 200 feet or less. (E) This subsection specifies additional development standards based on a slope gradient in a Lake Austin (LA) district. (1) On a slope with a gradient of more than 15 percent; (a) vegetation must be restored with native vegetation, as prescribed by the Enviromental Criteria Manual, if it is disturbed or removed as a result of construction; and (b) construction uphill or downhill from the slope must comply with the Enviromental Criteria Manual.

C15-2026-0036 4107 Lakeplace Lane ITEM05/1-PRESENTATION ITEM05/2-PRESENTATION Existing tram was constructed in approximately 2001 by a previous owner. ITEM05/3-PRESENTATION ITEM05/4-PRESENTATION ITEM05/5-PRESENTATION ITEM05/6-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. ITEM05/7-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. ITEM05/8-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. ITEM05/9-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. ITEM05/10-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. ITEM05/11-PRESENTATION

Variance Presentation for Case Number C15-0037/714 Post Oak St. BOA Meeting date November 9, 2026 Good evening. My name is Ms. Shesh Aandahl. Thank you to the Board of Adjustment for giving us the opportunity to present our case. ITEM06/1-PRESENTATION First: Hardships. The subject property has several significant physical, topographical, and restrictive limitations which create hardships for modifying the house. These hardships are not general to other properties in the larger residential zoning districts in Austin. The following is a list of the physical hardships that deny reasonable use of the subject property: 1. The lot is small, measuring 5,250 square feet. 2. The lot is subject to both the City of Austin 25-year and 100-year flood plain regulations. Both of these flood plain regulations have posed physical restrictions and constraints on the current location and footprint of the house. These restrictions and regulations have strictly limited the entire location of the current house, leaving no room for additional lot coverage. 3.
