Just FYI, we know when you made your presentation to the group two months ago, that you reported you reached out to the residents that live adjacent to this property. We didn't know if anyone of them reached out or if they had any questions or voiced concerns. We would like for you to continue to work with the residents that are directly impacted by this change and have lived there for many years. I have submitted a speaker registration form and noted that we are in favor of this case. Please let us know if the owner is in agreement with the Private Restrictive Covenant and will work with nearby residents. We look forward to our continued work with you and the owner. Thank you.

An Ecological Update Presented to The Mueller Commission June 14, 2022 Agenda • Overview • Flora • Fauna • Infrastructure • Benefits • Parks • Resources • Recognition 2 | RMMA PIAC Presentation | June 14, 2022 An Overview • Sustainability is one of Mueller’s six primary goals, established by a citizen’s task force, long before ”sustainability” was a household word. • Of the 700 acres that were once part of a brownfield site, 140 acres (or 20%) will be parkland and open space. • The entire community was the largest neighborhood in the world and the first in Texas to earn LEED-Gold, Stage 3 certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. • All homes are within 600 feet of nine current and three future parks or other open space. • Mueller’s purposely diverse parkland uses offer a variety of healthy activities for residents, employees and the surrounding community. • The Mueller Team, with support from the Wildflower Center, gathered plant species from the endangered Blackland Prairie between the airport’s runways, cultivated them in greenhouses, then populated them in the Southwest Greenway. • Mueller’s parks utilize recycled content and/or materials that are sourced within 500 miles of the community. • Deconstructed runway material was reused for many of Mueller early roadways, and and even parts of State Highway 130. 3 | RMMA PIAC Presentation | June 14, 2022 Flora • More than 15,000 trees will be planted • Hundreds of these trees were rescued from a Bastrop-area pecan farm that was going to destroyed for more retail • Mature trees that were located at the former airport where the Northwest and Southeast Greenways are located were preserved • Main tree species are: o o o o o Cedar elm Live oak Pecan Bald cypress Bur oak o Mexican sycamore • The live oak tree at the Aldrich St./Mueller Blvd. roundabout is believed to be the largest successful tree relocation in Texas history • Mueller uses native and adaptive plants that use less water and help pollinators like bees and butterflies thrive • Mueller uses a non-seed-producing Bermuda hybrid grass, which requires less water and can better survive Austin’s hot summers • All of Mueller’s trees and garden areas are re-mulched every 1-2 years to help protect roots and maintain moisture for plant life 4 | RMMA PIAC Presentation | June 14, 2022 o o o o The Southwest and Southeast …
