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-PRESENTATION 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-PRESENTATION 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-PRESENTATION 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-PRESENTATION The House Built in 1954 509 E 38th Street Case #C15-2022-0043 Eric Goff Item 6/5-PRESENTATION Preservation Austin 509 E 38th Street Case #C15-2022-0043 Eric Goff July 27 – the Advocacy Committee of Preservation …
