A. Land Use Commission variance determinations from Chapter 25-8-41 of the City Code: 1. The requirement will deprive the applicant of a privilege available to owners of similarly situated property with approximately contemporaneous development subject to similar code requirements. Yes, The variance will not be providing a special privilege to the applicant. The proposed buildings are similar in size to similarly situated property. To facilitate this type of development, significant levelling is required to enhance maneuverability into loading docks, allowing trucks to operated safely on site following FFE standards. The building configuration and placement on the property was based on lot configuration, existing topography, and roadways connectivity. To meet all the above requirements cut and fill limits is necessary to create a level finished- floor elevation and level loading dock and to maintain drives at minimal grades for maneuverability.

From: To: Subject: Date: Wendy, Rhoades, Wendy Peaceful Hill Rezoning Sunday, December 4, 2022 4:40:19 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** I'm writing on behalf of our adjacent neighbors just across South Boggy Creek. When the new apartments were approved at 7400 South Congress just beside my home at 301 Blackberry, we were able to keep the entry and exit to those new buildings channeled out onto South Congress, and avoided having our Blackberry connected as a through street to Congress to provide a rear access. I notice in the case of this new and otherwise similar apartment development just across the creek from us that Foremost is being planned as a through street in the name of "connectivity." It will completely change the existing character of the residential neighborhood if Foremost becomes a connector from Peaceful Hill all the way through to I- 35. Providing denser housing on public transit routes is a worthy goal, but changing the character of an existing neighborhood is a sacrilege, and should be avoided at all costs. The same is true of forcing an existing residential neighborhood to accept the presence of four story apartments towers over the current single story owner occupied private homes. Connectivity and denser housing are worthwhile goals, but not in the context of ruining the quality of life of people who have invested years of their earnings in a quiet and calm existence that will be destroyed by this proposed new group of dense apartments. Peaceful hill should be granted the same right to a deeply wooded set-back and no heavily traveled connector street that was afforded to our neighborhood just to the north of them by a few blocks. Please, be considerate. Thank you. ~Ed Miller CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source. Please use caution when clicking links or opening attachments.
