ITEM FOR ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION AGENDA COMMISSION MEETING DATE: 9/7/2022 NAME & NUMBER OF PROJECT: NAME OF APPLICANT OR ORGANIZATION: BKO Parmer (SP-2021-0034D) BKO Parmer (Steve Jamison) LOCATION: 4801 East Yager, Austin, Texas 78754 COUNCIL DISTRICT: ETJ ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW STAFF: Tunde Daramola, Environmental Review Specialist Senior, DSD, 512-974-6316, Babatunde.Daramola@austintexas.gov WATERSHED: REQUEST: STAFF RECOMMENDATION: STAFF CONDITIONS: Harris Branch Watershed, Suburban, Desired Development Zone Variance request is as follows: Request to vary from LDC 25-8-342 to allow fill over 4feet up to 12feet. Staff recommends this variance, having determined the findings of fact to have been met. Preserve trees/natural areas. Apply City of Austin Landscaping Ordinance on ETJ site. Provide structural containment of fill with a retaining wall. 1 of 74B-8 Development Services Department Staff Recommendations Concerning Required Findings Project Name: Ordinance Standard: Watershed Protection Ordinance Variance Request: BKO Parmer To allow for fill exceeding 4 feet up to 12 feet for building construction Include an explanation with each applicable finding of fact. 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. In order to facilitate this type of development levelling and additional fill is required for the buildings. Prior projects in this area had a similar situation. A prime example is Crossroad Logistics Center Additions, SP-2021-0169D. A Land Use Commission variance was granted to LDC 25-8-342 to allow fill up to 17 feet. 2. The variance: a) Is not necessitated by the scale, layout, construction method, or other design decision made by the applicant, unless the design decision provides greater overall environmental protection than is achievable without the variance; Yes. Existing site conditions necessitate additional “fill” for fulfilling the requirements of two fire lane/emergency access routes as well as structural bridge for spanning the CWQZ. b) Is the minimum deviation from the code requirement necessary to allow a reasonable use of the property; Yes. The site is being graded as efficiently as possible to provide the required access slopes and bridge heights to minimize the amount of variance required. 2 of 74B-8 c) Does not create a significant probability of harmful environmental consequences. The variance …

I have not received an email confirming, but I got a pop-up which said I was confirmed and had signed up. Just in case I some how fall through the cracks on this meeting, I want it to be registered I am OPPOSED to this zoning change. Trey Neinast is our primary speaker for this case. I support Trey in his efforts to get the right thing done by our neighborhood (and he is within 200 feet of the proposed zoning). I am also OPPOSED to any type of a variance through the CWQZ – the critical water quality zone running through our neighborhood park and beyond Rosemary Denny Park. I believe there has already been sufficient damage done to this zone through all the commercial activity and abuses. Additionally, I would like to see West Riviera Drive at South Lakeline Boulevard completely cut off from all the mall traffic and South Lakeline cut throughs. Our neighborhood is a precious little gem in the middle of edge city. We were here first and should be allowed some respect for keeping a tax base in place for so many years. We have several entrances and exits in the front of the neighborhood which can accommodate everyone in this neighborhood and a few others. Please consider this as an option for protecting our neighborhood. Please feel free to share this email with the City Zoning and Platting Commission. Please also feel free to contact me should you have additional questions or need more information. With kindest regards, I am, Twyla Grace Twyla Grace 2115 West Riviera Drive Cedar Park, Texas 78613 512.962.0674
From: To: Subject: Date: Rhoades, Wendy Postponement Request= Please forward Tuesday, October 4, 2022 11:11:59 AM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** This letter is written by John Stokes and Margaret Valenti, D2 constituents who live on Peaceful Hill Lane - just west of South Congress Avenue. We are also representatives of the Peaceful Hill Preservation Association. We are writing to you today on the matter of 2 active zoning cases on Peaceful Hill Lane. The two cases are as follows: 7901 Peaceful Hill Lane - Peaceful Hill Residential · · · · · C14-2022-0039 2.7 acres Existing Zoning: DR, development reserve Proposed Zoning: SF-6 (Townhomes, Condos) Status: ZAP hearing set for 10/4 220 Ralph Ablanedo - Crux Climbing Gym · · · conditional overlay · overlay, to remove the vehicle trip per day limit · Status: ZAP hearing set for 10/4 C14-2022-0077 3.99 acres - Corner of Peaceful Hill Lane and Ralph Ablanedo Existing Zoning: LI-CO, limited industrial services - conditional overlay; CS-CO, general commercial services - Proposed Zoning: LI-CO, limited industrial services - conditional overlay; general commercial services - conditional We are eager to share our thoughts and opinions at ZAP. However, both items are on the agenda for October 4th. We are requesting a postponement of both of these cases for the following reasons: In the first case: We have been in conversation with representatives for up to a year on this case but we have unfortunately not been able to come to mutual agreement on several outstanding issues. This process has been complicated by the applicants very slow responses to our correspondence and requests for information about the project. Both sides are negotiating , although over a protracted period of time. The timing of Applicant responses has made it difficult to distribute information and assess reactions to the neighborhood to various proposals by the Applicant in a timely fashion.
