4507 NORTH INTERSTATE 35 Sign Proposal for Apple Tree Holdings Alex Ybarra Director, Apple Tree Holdings LLC 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 1 of 27 Item-3/1 INTRODUCTION The property at 4507 North Interstate 35 is uniquely situated at the I-35 split and is surrounded by several trees. 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 2 of 27 Item-3/2 LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE Relevant Code: §25-10-123 (Expressway Corridor Sign Districts) (B)(2)(b)(i) and §25-10-123 (B)(3)(a) which regulate the sign area and sign height, respectively. 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 3 of 27 Item-3/3 VARIANCE FINDINGS First: The existing sign is blocked from view by large trees, many of which are over 35 feet high. These trees are either on neighboring properties or city property; therefore, petitioner has no control over those trees. We would also like to preserve trees on the 4507 property to the fullest extent possible. The proximity to the I-35 split also causes visibility issues. 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 4 of 27 Item-3/4 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 5 of 27 Item-3/5 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 6 of 27 Item-3/6 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 7 of 27 Item-3/7 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 8 of 27 Item-3/8 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 9 of 27 Item-3/9 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 10 of 27 Item-3/10 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 11 of 27 Item-3/11 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 12 of 27 Item-3/12 VARIANCE FINDINGS Second: The granting of these variances will not have a substantially adverse impact upon neighboring properties as our assessment is that continued development of 4507 provides a benefit to the neighborhood through crime reduction, continued investment, and improvement of a previously abandoned property. Additionally, the LED sign is equipped with two photocells that ensure that the sign adjusts to ambient lighting conditions. This feature preserves ambient lighting conditions, whereas a traditional cabinet sign uses a light that is on a single fixed setting. These safeguards prevent any type of light pollution. 4507 …
1101 Quaker Ridge Variance Request Item-4/1 1101 Quaker Ridge ´ Case: C15-2022-046 ´ Owners: Jeffery and Leslie Socha ´ Presented by: Ricca Keepers, Keepers Land Planning and Permitting Item-4/2 1101 Quaker Ridge ´ The applicant is requesting a variance(s) from the Land Development Code Section 25-2-492 (Site Development Regulations) from setback requirements to decrease the minimum Street Side Yard Setback from 15 feet (required) to 10 feet (requested), in order to erect an addition above the garage in a “SF-2”, Single-Family zoning district. ´ Variance is requested for the following reasons ´ Large, 19” Red Oak in the backyard, see attached tree survey and arborist’s, prohibits building any structure in the backyard ´ The house backs up to a beautiful walking trail and park. The owner’s are hoping to avoid obscuring the view to the park by building over the garage. ´ Current house is two stories, proposed addition would be no higher than the current height of the house ´ House is on a corner lot, corner lot setbacks are significantly different than that of an interior lot resulting in less area in back and side yard to build on Item-4/3 1101 Quaker Ridge Pictures Front of the house, showing garage and current height Item-4/4 1101 Quaker Ridge Picture Side of house and garage leading up to the park in the back of the house Item-4/5 1101 Quaker Ridge Entire garage shown, as well as height of current house. Item-4/6 1101 Quaker Ridge Showing the fence in the back of the property, including the park and walking trail that is behind the house. You can also see the 19” Red Oak that prohibits building in the back Item-4/7 1101 Quaker Ridge Arial view of the property to include the park and waking trails. Development in the backyard would obstruct the current view of the park. Item-4/8 1101 Quaker Ridge Survey Item-4/9 1101 Quaker Ridge You can see from this image, the backyard leaves little room for an addition due to additional setbacks and protected trees. Specifically, the tree on the corner in the backyard further prevents construction in the backyard.

The Plan 38th Street 509 E 38th Street Case #C15-2022-0043 Eric Goff L i b e r t y S t r e e t • Original lot (outlined in green) is 14,027 SF corner lot with a 1954 home on it. Home is in good condition. • Subdividing into Lot 1 and Lot 2 • New Lots: • Lot 1: faces and has driveway access to 38th Street, is 8,230 SF, and contains the existing 1954 house • Lot 2: has access on Liberty street. 5,770 SF . Has 50 ft of frontage (minimum allowed by code). Plan is to build a home on this lot Item-6/1 The Variance 38th Street 509 E 38th Street Case #C15-2022-0043 Eric Goff L i b e r t y S t r e e t • Lot 2 (the new lot) does not need any variances, it meets code. • Lot 1 (with existing house) • Due placement of the existing house, we need a 1 foot variance to the set back requirement. • The house needs a 10 ft set back, but is 8 inches too far toward the back of the lot. Item-6/2 The Findings 509 E 38th Street Case #C15-2022-0043 Eric Goff Required Findings: (A) reasonable use: A subdivision would require the demolition of the existing 1954 house that is representative of the character and scale of the area. (B) Hardship unique to property and not general: The Property includes an existing 1954 house that is typical for the area and worth preserving. The placement of the house by 8 inches presents a challenge that not all area lots share. (C) Adjacent Property: a one foot variance to the setback will not impair the use of any surrounding properties Item-6/3 509 E 38th Street Case #C15-2022-0043 Eric Goff The Potential Outcomes If variance is granted: The Variance will allow the new house to stay as is. If variance is not granted: Without the variance, the house will have to be demolished before the subdivision can be approved. See back up materials for a letter from COA Subdivision official that says the variance or demolition is needed before subdivision can be approved Item-6/4 The House Built in 1954 509 E 38th Street Case #C15-2022-0043 Eric Goff Item-6/5 Preservation Austin 509 E 38th Street Case #C15-2022-0043 Eric Goff July 27 – the Advocacy Committee of Preservation Austin voted unanimously in support …
