July 20, 2026 Liz Johnston, Environmental Officer Austin Watershed Protection 6310 Wilhelmina Delco Drive Austin, TX 78752 Via Electronic Delivery Re: 3900 W. Howard Lane – Environmental Variance Request for the 170.178-acre property located at 3900 W. Howard Lane, Austin, TX 78728, comprised of TCAD ID 0267110101 (the "Property") Dear Ms. Johnson: The following request is on behalf of Otsuka ICU Medical LLC ("Owner") for approval of an environmental variance in connection with the proposed Great Wave development (“D” permit (2025170-D)) at 3900 W. Howard Lane, Austin, TX 78728 ("Project"). The Project proposes a new manufacturing facility for ICU Medical which will be permitted under the “C” permit (2025170-C). A variance of the following code sections is requested under the “D” permit: • • Land Development Code ("LDC") §25-8-341 (Cut Requirements): o Allow cut greater than 4’, up to 20’ of cut. Land Development Code ("LDC") §25-8-342 (Fill Requirements): o Allow fill greater than 4’, up to 20’ of fill. An existing medical facility building occupies the southern portion of the site. The proposed structure, located on the northern portion of the property, is constrained by the existing development and its established grades. Additionally, the natural topography of the site has significant variation, with the highest elevation located at the northwest corner. To accommodate the intended use of the structure, a single finished floor elevation with level docking and loading areas is required. The large, level footprint of the building results in cut at the northern end of the structure and fill at the southern end of the structure, both exceeding code requirements for a finished floor elevation of 813.60 NAVD88. While the proposed grading will transition to the existing grades at the limits of construction, the existing medical facility has a finished floor of 806.40 +/- NAVD88. The difference in finished floor elevations is due to the natural topography of the site and the presence of shallow bedrock at the northern portion of the site. To limit the disturbance of the site, the following mitigation measures are proposed: retaining walls along the McNeil Merriltown Road frontage, 2.79 acres of native restoration planting and 676 proposed trees. All required tree mitigation is met, and the landscaping exceeds code requirements (total stabilized, vegetated area of approximately 13.58 acres). Please see included plan sheets for additional detailed information. 2705 Bee Caves Road Suite 100 | Austin, Texas 78746 | 512-807-2900 | www.drennergroup.com …

We are not sure that they will get it resolved before the August 18 ZAP hearing, which would make the hearing premature if the access point in the Applicant’s zoning application is under dispute. We respectfully request a postponement to the furthest date allowed to enable the parties to resolve the matter of the unauthorized filing of the restrictive covenant amendment. We would also request that the packet of information I circulated on August 12, 2026, which is also attached here for your convenience, be included in the official packet for the August 18 ZAP hearing.

Basis: The case relies on a restrictive covenant amendment, the validity of which, the Circle C residents are actively challenging, and it has since it has come to light that it was filed without authorization. See specifically the details for July 29, 2026 and July 31, 2026 below. Background The Circle C HOA and Stratus Properties are parties to an Amended and Restated Declarations of Restrictive Covenants, dated September 9, 2011, which prohibits vehicular access to Dahlgreen Avenue from Tract 110. That covenant is central to the zoning application Stratus has filed in this case: Stratus wants Dahlgreen to serve as a full residential access point for its proposed 1,000-unit multifamily development. Dahlgreen has been deliberately protected since 2002 because it is a cross street and school zone for Kiker Elementary School, and Circle C residents oppose opening this two-lane interior residential street to development traffic. 02 C14-2025-0064 - Circle C Tract 110; District 81 of 23 The chronology below explains why the validity of the covenant amendment is now in dispute: ● May 2025 – Stratus files its zoning conversion application requesting upzoning from office to multifamily for its proposed development of Tract 110 in Circle C.

Over the last several weeks, the Circle C Board of Directors has worked with Legal and Stratus on a new Second Amendment and a First Amendment Termination Document that was recorded in error. The Circle C Board President called a Special Board Meeting on August 14, 2026. At the Special Board Meeting, the Board of Directors approved the Second Amendment and the First Amendment Termination Document. The Termination Document will be filed and recorded on August 17, 2026. The Executed Second Amendment will be held in an Escrow account managed by Heritage Title and will only be filed once Stratus has full Zoning Approval by the City Council on the Zoning Case on all three (3) readings. If Stratus does not received full Zoning Approval within 2-years of the date of the Escrow Account, the Second Amendment will be voided and destroyed by Heritage Title. The Board continues to strongly encourage all parties involved to consider the following traffic safety and infrastructure improvements as part of any future development: 1. We request Council take action to make the secondary access on Dahlgreen Avenue an Emergency Access/Evacuation Only. 2. Do not extend South Bay toward MoPac. 3.

Adding this amount of traffic to the intersection located right at the elementary school for my home will drastically increase the safety challenges in this area for our smallest children. These roads would need to drastically change to handle that traffic and would still increase safety concerns due to their location at the very center of pedestrian traffic for the school. I am begging you to require a smaller quantity of apartment homes for this area or to require outlets directly to Mopac rather than snaking through our neighborhood streets.

Resource Management Commission Recommendation To Improve Local Solar + Storage Working Group WHEREAS, Austin Energy has operated rooftop solar incentive programs for its customers since 2004; and WHEREAS, rooftop solar has grown in significance to the point that it is now a major part of Austin’s new generation plan; and WHEREAS, permitting processing and inspection delays raise costs, discourage installation, and are a barrier to achieving Austin’s solar goals; WHEREAS, the City’s Resource Management Commission and Electric Utility Commission have established a joint working group to find ways to reduce permitting and inspection delays to lower the cost to consumers for installing solar energy and battery storage; and WHEREAS, this working group will be more effective with expertise and participation from relevant City Departments that interface with solar and battery permitting, inspection, and installation of this equipment; BE IT RESOLVED that the Resource Management Commission recommends that City Council pass a resolution supporting the Solar + Storage Working Group and direct the City Manager to identify and direct the responsible personnel at Austin Energy, Austin Development Services, Austin Technology Services, and other relevant City department to participate in the Working Group and work with their respective managers to implement recommendations as appropriate.
Resource Management Commission Resolution on Contract Reporting and Resource Cost Reporting Version 2.0 WHEREAS, since Austin Energy has been acquiring new resources to implement the 2025 Austin Energy Resource, Generation and Climate Protection Plan to 2035; and WHEREAS, the Resource Plan’s key actions include prioritizing customer energy solutions to reduce the need for additional generation, transmission, and presumably storage in support of reliability, including leading with energy efficiency, demand response, and beneficial electrification; and WHEREAS, the Resource Plan requires acquisition of additional renewable resources including distributed and utility-scale solar and storage resources; and WHEREAS, alternate technologies, renewable resources, and customer energy solutions including efficiency, conservation, demand response, and distributed storage fall within the core duties of the Resource Management Commission per City Code; THEN BE IT RESOLVED that in order to understand the relative roles and cost-effectiveness of Austin Energy’s current resource mix, the Resource Management Commission asks the Austin City Council to direct Austin Energy to prepare a recurring Resource Report, updated annually, that lists all of its resources and performance and economic details including for each owned or contracted resource its total nameplate capacity, annual capacity factor, total annual energy output, and its role in reducing purchases in the ERCOT energy market, reducing congestion fees to Austin Energy customers, and reducing ancillary service purchase costs. This report should include: 1) all fossil-fueled and nuclear energy resources; 2) all utility- scale renewable resources; 3) energy efficiency; 4) distributed solar and batteries; 5) demand response; and 6) district heating and cooling. For each category, statistics will be provided for contributing or offsetting resources, estimating the values of: A) fuel; B) energy; C) capacity; D) ERCOT transmission charge and other costs and fees E) ancillary services costs; F) congestion cost reductions; G) estimated avoided distribution system costs; H) avoided hedging costs I) average estimated annual estimated total payments and costs; J) average per MW and MWh costs. AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that all future Austin Energy proposals to acquire future energy storage, renewables, demand response, distributed assets and alternative technology solutions through contracts with other wholesale providers should include an analysis that compares the cost, speed and risk factors of resource acquisition through contract to the alternative of Austin Energy directly acquiring, owning and operating a comparable asset, and an analysis of using preowned instead of new equipment; AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Austin Energy add energy storage contributions …
Response To Staff Criticism of Proposed Resolution on Contract Reporting and Resource Cost Reporting Austin Energy: Some of the requested information cannot be discussed or released publicly because it falls into the category of Competitive Matters under Texas Government Code 552.133. Commissioner Robbins Rebuttal: This is a request to City Council, who can, by a majority vote, define what they want to be competitive matters. Austin Energy: Some of the requested information is outside the purview of the Resource Management Commission, including fossil-fuel and nuclear resources. Commissioner Robbins Rebuttal: Generally, I agree. However, as staff stated, some of this information is already public, and providing it as an easily accessible benchmark to the public to contrast conventional power sources to alternative resources should not be a problem. Austin Energy: Much of the requested information is already available publicly online via the Public Utility Commission, Electric Reliability Council of Texas, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and the United States Energy Information Administration. Commissioner Robbins Rebuttal: Much of the requested information is not already available online. Austin Energy: In addition to those already provided to Council, the Electric Utility Commission, or the public on a regular basis, several reports are provided to the RMC on a monthly basis on topics including, renewable energy progress, energy efficiency, and demand response. Commissioner Robbins Rebuttal: The information provided pales in contrast to what used to be provided. A key example of this is the program-by-program statistics and economic analysis that used to be provided by Customer Energy Solututions on an annual basis both in print and online. RMC should be given an explanation of why such reporting has ceased.
