Thank you. I was told that replying by email was a satisfactory way to respond to a Public Hearing Notice I recently received in the mail. I am responding to case # C15-2022-0047 for the Board of Adjustment to be heard on June 13, 2022. You are the contact person listed. I object to the proposed code variance request. I feel that instead of reducing the required 10' setback to the proposed 5' on the Rear Yard Setback and compromising their neighbor they should add the 5' they are trying to gain to the front of the Garage/Studio which has ample distance to accommodate the 5'. This added 5' should be on the front side of the building that faces E.46th St. instead of compromising the neighbor and the Rear Yard Setback. Thank you.

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 C-2/1-PRESENTATION 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 C-2/2-PRESENTATION 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 C-2/3-PRESENTATION 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 C-2/4-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 5 of 27 C-2/5-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 6 of 27 C-2/6-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 7 of 27 C-2/7-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 8 of 27 C-2/8-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 9 of 27 C-2/9-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 10 of 27 C-2/10-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 11 of 27 C-2/11-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 12 of 27 C-2/12-PRESENTATION 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. 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 13 of 27 C-2/13-PRESENTATION LETTER IN SUPPORT Our neighbor, Copernicus STEM Academy, signed a letter in support of the sign variance.

Variance Request 1305 Singleton July 11, 2022 D-2/1-PRESENTATION Variance Request: 1305 Singleton Summary • We are seeking two variances that will allow us to build a primary residence behind an existing 728 sf home. The two variances have to do with the location of the secondary dwelling, and the rear yard setback. 25-2-744-C-2-A: “THE SECOND DWELLING UNIT MUST BE LOCATED AT LEAST 10 FEET TO THE REAR OR SIDE OF THE PRINCIPAL STRUCTURE. 25-2-492 “MINIMUM SETBACK: REAR YARD: SF3: 10 FEET” • This property includes an origional house, refinished in 2012, that typifies the character of the area and is worth preserving per the chestnut neighborhood plan. Providing us with this variance will allow us to preserve the existing cottage and have equitable land use as enjoyed by neighbors. • Remaining historic homes in the neighborhood are dwindling and few older homes are well maintained enough to save. Furthermore, most older homes on the street are over 900 sf and so already have a front-of-property primary structure. Therefore, most owners are not burdened with the choice between preservation and demolition. • This variance to maintain the cottage while building a principal structure at the rear will help to maintain neighborhood character D-2/2-PRESENTATION Example Location A Variance Request: 1305 Singleton Proposed Site Plan (Example Locations Only) IMPORTANT NOTE: Unfortunately, the tree at the back of the property is in poor health. It has been checked by a 3rd party arborist who determined that it will fall down in 2 years. As a result, we have obtained a permit to remove the tree. Example Location B D-2/3-PRESENTATION Variance Request: 1305 Singleton Photographs The structure at 1305 Singleton was always a beautiful and redemable structure. It has solid construction and design features that are hard to find like large windows and high ceilings. The 2012 rennovation gave this structure a new life. The refinished materials and new systems mean this home should easily last another 50 years. It is a unique building and a building worth saving. D-2/4-PRESENTATION Variance Request: 1305 Singleton Photographs D-2/5-PRESENTATION Variance Request: 1305 Singleton Photographs D-2/6-PRESENTATION Variance Request: 1305 Singleton Photographs D-2/7-PRESENTATION Variance Request: 1305 Singleton Conceptual Massing This proposal would leave the existing house as-is, maintaining the neighborhoods character and urban fabric. This conceptual massing shows the new construction from street front. The homes on this portion of Singleton include 7 single-story older homes and 5 two- story …
Variance Request: 1305 Singleton Neighborhood Context: Street-Front Homes 1311 Singleton (1420 sf / 907 sf) 1309 Singleton (1,464) 1307 Singleton (1533 sf / 866 sf) 1305 Singleton (728 sf) 1303 Singleton (--) 1301 Singleton (--) 1 3 1 1 1 3 0 9 1 3 0 7 1 3 0 5 1 3 0 3 1 3 0 1 D-2/10-PRESENTATION Variance Request: 1305 Singleton Neighborhood Context: 2-Story Alley Development 1305 Singleton is surrounded by examples of substantial 2-story “sedondary units” built on the alley. We point this out to demonstrate that the “side or rear” “sedondary unit” rule does not result in smaller massing on the alley. There are 11 properties on the alley adjacent to 1305 Singleton and 7 of them include a second 2-story structure on the ally lot-line. Adjacent to 1305 Singleton are two examples of this at 1307 Singleton and 1304 Cedar. Contructing the “primary residence” at the back of the property does not diminish the character of the alley and does not disturb the current massing. Furthermore, the existence of the alley buffers the proposed primary structure from adjacent properties. 5 1 2 3 1 3 0 5 S I N G L E T O N 6 7 4 2 6 1 5 4 3 7 D-2/11-PRESENTATION Variance Request: 1305 Singleton Neighborhood Plan Support D-2/12-PRESENTATION Variance Request: 1305 Singleton Neighborhood Association Support City of Austin Board of Adjustment June 10, 2022 Dear Board Members. This letter serves to express the Chestnut Neighborhood Plan Contact Team’s support for the requested variance at 1305 Singleton Avenue. One of the goals in our adopted Neighborhood Plan is to Promote the Rehabilitation of Existing Housing & New, Infill Housing Compatible with the Old Style of the Neighborhood. The applicant’s proposal to preserve the existing front house, and add new infill housing in the rear, fully aligns with this neighborhood goal. We respectfully request that you approve this variance.

D-3/6-PRESENTATION Navigating the Process In speaking with the city offices in an attempt to understand the building codes, i was told conflicting information: ● We only needed 5 feet from our side yard to build a shed. This turned out to be 15 feet because of the street side setback, but even in reading through the municipal code handbook multiple times, it doesn’t state this with regard to sheds/accessory structures. ● Given incorrect codes from city officials when applying for variance (which speaks to the vagueness of the city code) ● Differing opinions of enforcement within the city ● Only after sifting through BOA hearings back to 2021 did I find another case that mirrored our situation. Without that I would have confidently built the structure thinking I was within code.

D-7/9-PRESENTATION The Hardship is Unique to the Property The hardship is unique to the property because the relied upon a sealed survey to property owner determine the location of the property line. D-7/10-PRESENTATION The Hardship is not General to the Area because: It results from the inaccurate surveying applied to the property to receive City approval. D-7/11-PRESENTATION Approval Would Not Alter Area Character The variance would not alter the character of the area since it is not uncommon for structures to be placed in setbacks in this neighborhood because of discrepancies and errors in the original surveying and lot creation.

1409 Possum Trot BOA Request C15-2020-0038 E-1/1-PRESENTATION Our Variance Request • A variance from LDC 25-2-492; the rear setback in an SF-3 zoning district is 10 feet. We are requesting a rear setback of 5 feet. • The existing 1942 duplex has a 5-foot setback. It will continue to have the same 5- foot setback if the variance is approved. E-1/2-PRESENTATION Duplex at 1409 Possum Trot Requested 5-foot rear setback E-1/3-PRESENTATION Proposed Subdivision Plat E-1/4-PRESENTATION Property History • The existing structures were built in 1942 as a single-family residence and a duplex. • The property was annexed into Austin’s Full Purpose Jurisdiction and zoning regulations on March 14, 1946. • Because the property is within the City’s Full Purpose Jurisdiction with three existing units, it is classified as a legal non-complying use. E-1/5-PRESENTATION Property History (cont.) • On September 27, 2002, the City of Austin issued a Legal Tract Determination, which exempted this property from the platting requirements. • In 2019, the new owner purchased the property, and he wishes to subdivide the property into two lots, in order to bring it into compliance with the zoning regulations. E-1/6-PRESENTATION We are asking for BOA support for the following reasons: • The structures have existed since 1942, so variance approval will not impact the neighborhood. • This is a minimal departure. If this property were part of a neighborhood residential infill, the rear setback for a duplex would only be 5 feet, under 25-2-1535. However we do not qualify because residential infill requires a residential site area of one acre, and this site is smaller. E-1/7-PRESENTATION
