ANIMAL ADVISORY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20221010-007 Date: 10/11/22 Colony Subject: Recommended Action Concerning the Congress Avenue Bridge Mexican Free-tail Bat Motioned By: Dr. Paige Nilson Seconded By: Beatriz Dulzaides Recommendation: 1. We recommend that the City of Austin posts a QR code prominently on the east side of both ends of the Congress Ave. bridge (and possibly at other locations), scannable by a smart phone, that links to a City website where detailed information about Austin’s bat colony can be provided. 2. We recommend that the dysfunctional string of lights on the western side of the Congress Ave. bridge be removed. This structure is a hazard to bats, particularly young bats, as they start their nightly flights for food (this may have already been done). 3. We recommend that Merlin Tuttle’s Bat Conservation specifically be consulted concerning the design and placement of any publicly accessible bat-viewing areas being considered. 4. We recommend that as soon as The Statesman PUD plans become finalized and the positioning of any proposed bat-viewing areas or decks has been determined, the City judiciously trims, as necessary, some of the trees along Lady Bird Lake for better public bat- viewing. 5. Vegetation beneath the bats’ roosting spaces at the extreme south end of the bridge should never be permitted to grow more than one meter tall. Bats will abandon this area if vegetation is permitted to grow much taller. 6. Currently, there is erosion damage to the Trail under the south end of the bridge from stormwater flow. There is a need for some kind of rainwater detention structure to be built on the uphill side of the Trail that overflows into culverts beneath the path and into the Lake to control this flooding and minimize erosion. Description of Recommendation to Council: 1. The linked website should contain information about bat viewing opportunities, safety around bats, and what to do about injured bats. We further recommend that for detailed biological and historical information about Austin bats, including seasonal cycles that affect viewing opportunities, bat behavior, and the ecological significance of this colony, the City site should be linked to a site specifically designed and frequently updated for this detailed information by Merlin Tuttle’s Bat Conservation (MTBC), which has volunteered their services for this task. 2. This recommendation is self-explanatory. 3. This recommendation is self-explanatory. 4. Trees do not need to be removed in this trimming, but some …
ANIMAL ADVISORY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20221010-008 Date: 10/11/22 Subject: Adopting Bird-Safe Building Ordinances Motioned By: Jo Anne Norton Seconded By: Dr. Paige Nilson Recommendation: The Animal Advisory Commission recommends that the Austin City Council adopts the American Bird Conservancy’s (ABC’s) Model Bird-Friendly Building Guidelines for the City of Austin. (See: https://abcbirds.org/glass-collisions/model-ordinance/ This is included below.) We further recommend that the Austin City Council writes a letter to the US Congress to recommend support for the Federal Bird Safe Buildings Act of 2021. Description of Recommendation to Council: These model, or ideal, guidelines are intended to be a starting point for cities, towns, villages, counties, states, and any other entity interested in regulating or guiding building construction to reduce bird collisions with glass. They describe a truly bird-friendly building. Summarized simply, these guidelines are based on a 100/100/100 framework: 100% of all glass and other building materials should be bird friendly in the first 100 feet of 100% of buildings. The guidelines also specifically include all hazardous features that can trap birds or push them in the direction of dangerous features. Any group that adopts this ordinance as written will be at the leading edge of creating a bird- friendly built environment. However, many groups considering such guidelines will be interested in softening the language to exempt certain types of buildings or to reduce the amount of bird-friendly glass required. In anticipation of this, ABC has created a discussion of the issues to be considered when revising the model guidelines. (See https://abcbirds.org/glass-collisions/existing-ordinances/ ) These guidelines will be most commonly adopted as an ordinance to modify municipal building codes. As a result, the guidelines below are written in the form of a model ordinance. However, the text can be easily adapted to fit other building guidance formats. ABC will revise these guidelines as new science, materials, techniques, and technologies become available, so please make sure that you have the most current version before you begin the process of creating your own guidelines. (See https://abcbirds.org/glass-collisions/legislation/ ). 1 of 4 PROPOSAL NAME: Bird-Friendly Building Design Requirements PURPOSE: This building ordinance has been created to address the role of the (MUNICIPALITY)’s built environment in the annual loss of up to 1 billion birds due to glass collisions in the United States. WHEREAS, birds provide valuable and important ecological services, WHEREAS, (MUNICIPALITY) has recorded (XXX) species of resident and migratory bird species, WHEREAS, birding is a hobby …

Steering Committee Members: Adrienne Goldsberry, Chair Kate Ertle, Kevin Kimbrough, Claudette Kazzoun, Rob Kish, James Logan, Andi March, Maureen Metteauer, Oam Parkash, Shawn Shillington, Margaret Sullivan, Jim Todd, Brandon Wright October 10, 2022 RE: BOA Case No. C15-2022-0066 Dear Ms. Cohen and BOA Members: This letter is to express the Old West Austin’s Neighborhood Association’s (OWANA) support for the variances requested as a part of Case No. C15-2022-0066 for the October 10, 2022 Board of Adjustment meeting. The Clarks Village, LLP group has worked closely with neighboring residents of the subject properties and OWANA’s zoning committee during the initial design process for the proposed hotel, residential, and retail project. They have responded positively to neighborhood feedback, adjusting the project design and scope to minimize impacts to neighbors. They also incorporated feedback from the City of Austin’s Historic Landmark Commission into the design. They presented this project, including the proposed variances, at the June 7 OWANA General Membership meeting, and the membership voted to support the proposed uses and design. The attached restrictive covenant codifies the neighborhood’s requests to ensure this project is compatible with and respectful to the residential properties adjacent to it. As such, the Clarks Village group has OWANA’s support for the proposed variances. Thank you, and please contact me if you have any questions. Sincerely, Adrienne Goldsberry Chair, OWANA Steering Committee Not for recordation
