Presentation First, I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to present my case to you today In October 2018, My wife and I purchased the property located at 4522 Caswell with the expectations that when I retired, we would move to Austin. I needed an office where I could continue to wrap up my practice. The obvious choice was to transform the garage into a space that would be comfortable, away from the house, with good internet. We hired Christian Gutierrez and his company to act as General Contractor for the project. Our proposed plans to renovate the existing garage into a secondary dwelling have been denied permit approval due to a hardship created by two conflicting code restrictions, those specific code sections are referenced in our variance request application. On one side we were told that we could not move the structure closer to the existing protected trees because doing so would affect them and thus would deny our permit request. Its worth mentioning that leaving the structure where it is would grant us Tree Ordinance approval as it has been stated by the city Arborist upon inspection. On the other side we were told that we are encroaching over the rear yard setback restrictions and would have to move the structure outside the setback restriction to comply so we can be granted our permit request. As you can see, these two code regulations conflict with each other. So we move one way, we are denied a permit from Tree Ordinance. If we move the other direction, we are denied approval from Zoning Department. We are not here to change the complexion of Hyde Park nor the character of our neighborhood. On the contrary, the proposed structure is designed in a way to preserve its architectural historic features an values consistent with our house and with the houses in the area. Our house is a beautiful old 1930s Craftsman Home and we would love to preserve that as much as possible. We are asking this Board for a variance to the regulations that have created a hardship due to the conflicting set of rules. We ask that we be issued a permit that allows us build 3 feet into the setoff restriction zone. Thank you for your time E-3/1-PRESENTATION
Monday, June 6, 2022 To: Board of Adjustments City of Austin 301 W 2nd St, Austin, TX 78701 Reference: - Supplemental Letter - 2715 Long Bow Trail - Case # C15-2022-0011 I am writing to provide you with the additional information requested by the Board of Adjustments during our meeting on April 11, 2022. I have attached a copy of the supporting documents for the comments below and answer the questions and concerns you had during the hearing. Directly below, you will see our justifications for approval, and below that is the backup information concerning the property and the reasoning for our justifications. Justifications for approval: - The less is more version 1. Based on the slope analysis, the current site only allows for 1,097.55 sf of IC. We are requesting 2,000 sf of impervious coverage to meet the Apache Shores POA minimum living area requirements, a two-car garage for proper parking, and the required driveway using ribbon designs. a. This lot needs more IC than the adjacent one to protect the large tree in the center of the lot. b. As an item of reference, this lot will only have 22% of the total site area, which is half of the standard IC allowed under typical zoning regulations. 2. The new design that the developer created reduced the originally requested IC by 40% by utilizing a single-car ribbon drive and reducing the house size and footprint. 3. Based on the engineering report and design provided by 3PX engineers, they created a drainage plan that will prevent any additional/adverse runoff created by the proposed development. This plan was created by using Vegetative Strips that are allowed under the ECM Section 1 - 1.6.7 (B) 4. Without this variance, we will not be able to develop any structure on this property that will meet the COA development regulations and the Apache Shores POA development requirements on the deed restrictions. Backup Information Zoning Regulations: The primary basis of our request is that the property has been zoned for both LA (Lake Austin) zoning and the Lake Austin overlay. As shown below, both regulations require a min. of 1-acre lot size per the City of Austin development regulations. The application of the LA regulations on this lot makes it non-developable for reasonable use. The LA regulations are also shown as the strictest zoning regulations specified in 25-2-33 (b). 1. Per 25-2-492 site development …
