American Bird Conservancy Model Bird-Friendly Building Guidelines December 2020 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, American Bird Conservancy (ABC) has created a discussion of the issues to be considered when revising the model guidelines. (See ABC’s Legislation, Ordinances, and Guidelines) 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 ABC’s Legislation, Ordinances, and Guidelines) PROPOSAL NUMBER: SPONSOR(S): 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 enjoyed by 46 million Americans with an annual $107 billion total industry output in the United States, WHEREAS, as many as 1 billion birds may be killed by collisions with windows every year in the United States, WHEREAS, new buildings can be designed to reduce bird deaths from collisions without significant additional cost, WHEREAS there exist strategies to mitigate collisions on existing buildings, WHEREAS witnessing a collision is …

North Loop Neighborhood Association Board of Adjustment 301 W. 2nd St. Austin, TX 78701 Subject: North Loop Neighborhood Association and proposed development at 5413 Guadalupe To the Members of the Board of Adjustments this afternoon, the 9th of September 2022. My name is Brian Bedrosian and I am currently serving as the Vice President of the North Loop Neighborhood Association (NLNA), a post I have held since 2019. I am writing this letter on behalf of the NLNA to provide some insight into the neighborhood’s past positions on projects such as that being proposed by Webber Studio and their clients that might help to inform how the NA would vote once we are able to properly consider the project. Marek Hnizda reached out to me regarding this project and we met over Zoom to discuss the proposed variance to the setback along Guadalupe along with their proposed project and what it might look like. We were not able to bring this in front of the neighbors for a formal vote prior to your meeting on the evening of the 12th of this month – so my comments here are simply an idea of our values and how we have responded to similar proposals. In general, our neighbors have tended to vote in favor of projects that show a considered investment in quality housing within our neighborhood with a focus on affordability, family-oriented units where possible, sustainability and increased density. Our neighborhood plan has sought to support a more urban feel to our neighborhood that aspires to provide space for a more diverse and inclusive community of people in the rapidly heated market that Austin finds itself in. With this in mind, the project per the current proposal is within the parameters of something we might support. As you may recall we were recently in front of the Board in support of a much larger VMU project at 201 East Koenig Lane at the southeast corner of Koenig and Avenue F. That particular developer worked closely with our neighborhood and PARD to create a project that served the needs of the developer, the aspirations of the neighborhood and the mission set forth by PARD’s Parkland Dedication Ordinance. We strongly encourage Webber Studio and their clients to continue to engage our neighborhood throughout the design process to seek a similarly mutually beneficial design. While I am unable to provide an official neighborhood …

Our property is brown in this image. We received signatures of support from 6 nearby neighbors at 5 properties. Those in support are highlighted in green. The house on Texas Ave was originally concerned and asked for a postponement at a previous HOA meeting, but is now in support. The neighbor directly behind the property is still not in support and prefers the property to be subdivided so that both lots front on 38th street (which would not allow the existing house to be saved).
P u b l i c W o r k s D e p a r t m e n t Quality Management Division To: Alyssa Tharrett Project Manager Parks & Recreation Department, City of Austin Re: Zilker Botanical Garden 2220 Barton Springs Rd, Austin, TX 78746 Existing Roof Over Greene Room Ms. Tharrett, September 14, 2021 This letter is in regard to the structural integrity of the existing roof over Greene Room at the Zilker Botanical Garden. A site visit was conducted on September 3, 2021, to perform a structural observation of the existing roof. The existing roof over the Greene Room is wood framed structure, there are four (4) primary Glulam beams which support wood rafters with a 2x wood deck. Glulam members are built up beams that are laminated between each member which bonds the 2x members together achieving a strong structural member. If the laminates are not properly bonded the structural integrity of the member has been compromised. The exterior section of the Glulam beams have experienced structural damage due to weathering and wood erosion. See photos A, B, C, D and E. Beam 1 has lost a large section of beams cross-sectional area at the cantilever end that has reduces the structural sectional property of the beam which has affect the structural capacity of the member. This member has failed and needs to be addressed prior to any additional member loss. The fascia has been damaged and must be addressed. See photo B. Beam 2 shows signs of erosion, the extent of the damage is not clear at this time. The cross-sectional property at the cantilever end of the member has been compromised and must be addressed prior to any additional damage. See photo C. Beam 3 has experienced weathering and the cross-sectional property has been compromised at the cantilever end of the member. See photos D and E. Beam 4 appears to have been repaired, the extent of the repair is unknow and repair documents have not been reviewed. The repair material does not match the original wood member sizes of the Glulam and does not appear to be laminated. The existing Glulam members have been compromised, creating imminent hazard and danger to the health, safety and welfare of the public. The existing wood roof needs to be addressed immediately to minimize any further damage. The room can be used at this time, continuous …
