S I G N V A R I A N C E T A R G E T P Y L O N B O A M E E T I N G Walton Signage Esteban Vilchez D-1/1-PRESENTATION V A R I A N C E F A C T O R S • Existing Code: According to code, the max over all height is 35’ from “grade”. The Target parking lot is escalated above grade by 4’ so we were allowed an over all height of 31’ for this new pylon. • Location Issues: We had a location for the pylon however, when we went to dig the hole, there was an underground pipe that was not detected as it was on Targets property and not part of the underground utilities that is marked by the underground utility locator. • Variance Request: I would like to see if we can get an additional 10’ – 12’ of height approved. The location that would require this are within the tree line and would therefore need the height increase for the sign to be seen. D-1/2-PRESENTATION D-1/3-PRESENTATION E X A M P L E S O F S I G N W I T H E X I S T I N G C O D E A P P L I E D • As you can see from this flag test, the proposed location of the pylon would not clear the tree line as well as not provide any visibility whatsoever if you are looking westbound or eastbound down Great Hills Rd. The proposed request would not only provide us with the opportunity to save the landscaping on the property, but also provide traffic markers on the Great Hills Rd.

Mark Hoelscher Address: 1108 Kinney Ave, Austin 78704 Phone Number: 512.975.9117 Case C15-2021-0100 Comments: In our opinion, please allow for the rezoning of the subject property at 1003 Kinney Ave. The use of the property for an SF-3 single family with pool should be allowed, it is within the former use of the property. As a favor, could an amendment be added to the allowed SF-3 rezoning to prevent the future addition of an ABU on the lot.

I Ama Zilker neighbor live at 904 Ethel St and am writing a letter of support in favor of Case # 2021-000085 BA for the property located at 1003 Kinney. The design is far superior than the ubiquitous Hardie plan structures in the neighborhood being erected by many spec builders and will help contribute, not detract to the neighborhood character. The existing structure is in poor condition. All buildings have a natural life.. The IRS limits the functional life of a building to 27.5 years. This particular structure is in disrepair and not economically feasible to be repaired. Every property owner deserves the right to replace their existing home. In this case, the zoning does not allow for reasonable use of the land. I think the Board is justified in approving the request because reasonable use is currently excluded. The property is unique to the area. I am aware of only 3 lots in Zilker that are less than 5750 square feet that are not exempted from variance by the age of the …
