From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Bryce Allison Ramirez, Elaine c C15-2022-0061 / 1401 E 3rd St Tuesday, October 04, 2022 8:29:48 AM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Board of Adjustment, I have been in conversations with Cortland Chalfant regarding the property at 1401 E 3rd St and the newly requested setback on the Navasota side from 15' to 10'. He has shared his plans to remove the existing structure and rebuild a new house and ADU that is more fitting with the neighborhood. I understand that these new plans would respect the existing setback adjacent lot (east side) but will require a variance on the setback of Navasota side of the street. Since these new plans lead to a structure that is more fitting with the nature and character of the neighborhood, I am supportive of the request for variance on the Navasota side to reduce the setback from 15' to 10' in order to accommodate this.

The existing white structure has been a graffiti covered eyesore that brings the entire neighborhood down for far too long. It has been our opinion all along that the structure should be torn down - not only because it is an eyesore but because it is a fire hazard for the neighboring property and does not fit into the character of the neighborhood. I've reviewed the latest variance request to reduce the street (Navasota) side set back from 15' to 10' and the images of the proposed structure which is the subject of the October 10, 2022 meeting. It is my opinion that removing and replacing the existing white structure with what is being proposed would fit into the neighborhood much better. Therefore, I am in favor of the BOA granting this variance to reduce the street (Navasota) side set back from …

ITEM6/1-LATE BACKUP ITEM6/2-LATE BACKUP This is concerning a variance: C15-2022-0067 / 2614 Canterbury St to maintain two sheds. I am aware that Jose Minguell and Laura McQuary have applied for a variance to keep their (35 square foot) utility and (75 square foot) bike sheds that are adjacent to my property line. The two sheds replaced an old pre-fabricated metal shed and open storage area that were both in very poor condition and housed rodents. The new sheds are constructed much better. Since Jose and Laura do not have a garage, the sheds function as general storage that is easily accessed from the driveway. I’m fine with Jose and Laura keeping them there as sheds. ______________________________ Signed by: _Shanna Igo____________________ Neighbors at:____81 Llano St. _______________ ITEM6/3-LATE BACKUP

I am writing to express my opposition to Variance Request A. This variance is asking to lessen the amount of distance that may be built upon, in relation to the edge of the property lines. The code is currently set at 25 feet. The applicant wants to lessen this distance to only 10 feet from the eastern property line, and 14 feet from the southern one. I feel that the requested distances are too close to the property border for building, especially the one requesting only 10 feet!

ANIMAL ADVISORY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20221010-007 Date: 10/11/22 Colony Subject: Recommended Action Concerning the Congress Avenue Bridge Mexican Free-tail Bat Motioned By: Dr. Paige Nilson Seconded By: Beatriz Dulzaides Recommendation: 1. We recommend that the City of Austin posts a QR code prominently on the east side of both ends of the Congress Ave. bridge (and possibly at other locations), scannable by a smart phone, that links to a City website where detailed information about Austin’s bat colony can be provided. 2. We recommend that the dysfunctional string of lights on the western side of the Congress Ave. bridge be removed. This structure is a hazard to bats, particularly young bats, as they start their nightly flights for food (this may have already been done). 3. We recommend that Merlin Tuttle’s Bat Conservation specifically be consulted concerning the design and placement of any publicly accessible bat-viewing areas being considered. 4. We recommend that as soon as The Statesman PUD plans become finalized and the positioning of any proposed bat-viewing areas or decks has been determined, the City judiciously trims, as necessary, some of the trees along Lady Bird Lake for better public bat- viewing. 5. Vegetation beneath the bats’ roosting spaces at the extreme south end of the bridge should never be permitted to grow more than one meter tall. Bats will abandon this area if vegetation is permitted to grow much taller. 6. Currently, there is erosion damage to the Trail under the south end of the bridge from stormwater flow. There is a need for some kind of rainwater detention structure to be built on the uphill side of the Trail that overflows into culverts beneath the path and into the Lake to control this flooding and minimize erosion. Description of Recommendation to Council: 1. The linked website should contain information about bat viewing opportunities, safety around bats, and what to do about injured bats. We further recommend that for detailed biological and historical information about Austin bats, including seasonal cycles that affect viewing opportunities, bat behavior, and the ecological significance of this colony, the City site should be linked to a site specifically designed and frequently updated for this detailed information by Merlin Tuttle’s Bat Conservation (MTBC), which has volunteered their services for this task. 2. This recommendation is self-explanatory. 3. This recommendation is self-explanatory. 4. Trees do not need to be removed in this trimming, but some …
ANIMAL ADVISORY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20221010-008 Date: 10/11/22 Subject: Adopting Bird-Safe Building Ordinances Motioned By: Jo Anne Norton Seconded By: Dr. Paige Nilson Recommendation: The Animal Advisory Commission recommends that the Austin City Council adopts the American Bird Conservancy’s (ABC’s) Model Bird-Friendly Building Guidelines for the City of Austin. (See: https://abcbirds.org/glass-collisions/model-ordinance/ This is included below.) We further recommend that the Austin City Council writes a letter to the US Congress to recommend support for the Federal Bird Safe Buildings Act of 2021. Description of Recommendation to Council: These model, or ideal, guidelines are intended to be a starting point for cities, towns, villages, counties, states, and any other entity interested in regulating or guiding building construction to reduce bird collisions with glass. They describe a truly bird-friendly building. Summarized simply, these guidelines are based on a 100/100/100 framework: 100% of all glass and other building materials should be bird friendly in the first 100 feet of 100% of buildings. The guidelines also specifically include all hazardous features that can trap birds or push them in the direction of dangerous features. Any group that adopts this ordinance as written will be at the leading edge of creating a bird- friendly built environment. However, many groups considering such guidelines will be interested in softening the language to exempt certain types of buildings or to reduce the amount of bird-friendly glass required. In anticipation of this, ABC has created a discussion of the issues to be considered when revising the model guidelines. (See https://abcbirds.org/glass-collisions/existing-ordinances/ ) These guidelines will be most commonly adopted as an ordinance to modify municipal building codes. As a result, the guidelines below are written in the form of a model ordinance. However, the text can be easily adapted to fit other building guidance formats. ABC will revise these guidelines as new science, materials, techniques, and technologies become available, so please make sure that you have the most current version before you begin the process of creating your own guidelines. (See https://abcbirds.org/glass-collisions/legislation/ ). 1 of 4 PROPOSAL NAME: Bird-Friendly Building Design Requirements PURPOSE: This building ordinance has been created to address the role of the (MUNICIPALITY)’s built environment in the annual loss of up to 1 billion birds due to glass collisions in the United States. WHEREAS, birds provide valuable and important ecological services, WHEREAS, (MUNICIPALITY) has recorded (XXX) species of resident and migratory bird species, WHEREAS, birding is a hobby …
