Variance Request 74 San Saba Street C15-2021-0080 The Board of Adjustment August 9, 2021 Item D-3 Micah King (Husch Blackwell LLP) D-3/1-PRESENTATION Requested Variances To provide reduced max. impervious cover of 41.38% (40% required outside the primary and secondary setbacks in the Festival Beach subdistrict of the Waterfront Overlay) To reduce the min. side setback from 5′ to 3.9′ To reduce the min. rear setback from 10′ to 2.1′ To preserve an existing deck that serves the rear, upper-level residential unit built in 1930, and which provides a secondary point of egress and outdoor living space for the small rear unit. 2 D-3/2-PRESENTATION Overview Approval would result in a net reduction to the amount of impervious cover in the Waterfront Overlay as we are proposing to demolish and remove existing impervious cover (a concrete walk and stone pads) as part of the request. 40%: Max. impervious cover outside the primary and secondary setbacks in the Festival Beach subdistrict of the Waterfront Overlay. 47.8%: Existing impervious cover. 44.14%: Impervious cover prior to deck construction. 41.38%: Amount of requested impervious cover. 3 D-3/3-PRESENTATION Property Location Map 4 D-3/4-PRESENTATION 5 D-3/5-PRESENTATION Photo of the Rear Unit 6 D-3/6-PRESENTATION Photo of the Deck 7 D-3/7-PRESENTATION Photo of the Side Setback (Showing Alignment of Deck with Pre-Existing Unit) 8 D-3/8-PRESENTATION Examples of Area Setback Encroachments 9 D-3/9-PRESENTATION Reasonable Use The zoning regulations do not allow for a reasonable use of the property because they would preclude being able to preserve an existing deck for the upstairs rear residential unit, which increases the fire safety for residents by providing a secondary point of egress in case of emergency and which increases the quality of life for residents. The deck is set back approximately 10 feet from the originally-platted lot line of the property to the rear, and the side of the deck is in line with the side of the existing structure from 1930 which it serves. 10 D-3/10-PRESENTATION The Hardship is Unique to the Property The hardship is unique to the property because options for where to place the deck are constrained by the locations of the original residential structures and the fact that the rear structure was constructed close to the rear property line and by the need to provide a gap between the existing houses for access and fire safety. 11 D-3/11-PRESENTATION The …

D-4/2-PRESENTATION Site Location D-4/3-PRESENTATION Site Location D-4/4-PRESENTATION Site Details • SF‐3‐NP: • Family Residence – Neighborhood Plan • 0.1806 acres / 7,865.6 square feet • Single‐Family Use • Old West Austin Neighborhood Plan • No FLUM exists for this NP D-4/5-PRESENTATION Zoning D-4/6-PRESENTATION D-4/7-PRESENTATION BOA Guidebook ‐ Findings From the BOA Guidebook (pg. 7) • The regulation deprives the property of a “reasonable use” that is fundamental to its use and enjoyment and is allowed by zoning ordinance. • The property is zoned SF‐3 which is intended for use a single‐family residential use. The regulations that exist do not allow for the existing family to continue to reside in the structure. A four‐bedroom home is a reasonable single‐family use. • A hardship that is unique to the property and not common to the area. • The 156 square foot ADU counts toward the FAR but is space that cannot be allocated toward a child’s bedroom. • The existing structure is designed in such a way that an additional bedroom cannot be remodeled into the space. • Granting the variance would not change the character of the neighborhood, impair the use of adjacent property, or impair the purpose of the regulations. • With the proposed addition, the building footprint will not expand, and the addition is going on top of an existing flat roof, therefore there is no additional impervious cover or building coverage. The addition would also fully comply with the McMansion building envelope. D-4/8-PRESENTATION Outreach • Outreach to nearby property owners. • Four letters of support received for the variance request. D-4/9-PRESENTATION No Similar Homes Nearby D-4/10-PRESENTATION Proposed Addition D-4/11-PRESENTATION Findings • A four‐bedroom home is a reasonable single‐family use. • The hardship is the design of the property makes an interior remodel to add a bedroom infeasible. • The variance will not alter the character of the area and will not impair the purpose of regulations because the proposed addition will not expand the building footprint, impervious cover, or building coverage. • There will be no adverse impact: We have support from adjacent neighbors.

2003 Arpdale Street BOA Presentation AUGUST 2021 E-5/1-PRESENTATION Variance Summary § 25‐2‐492 (Site development regulations) to decrease the minimum lot size from 5,750 square feet (required/permitted) to 5,500 square feet (requested/existing) Why is this variance being requested? City staff have determined that a variance from the minimum lot size is required before building and plumbing permits can be issued and finalized to correct previous work without a permit (dating back to ~1990), bring the property up to code, and repair damage from the recent freeze. Most properties in the subdivision were platted in the forties or fifties at 6,000 square feet or more, and so they were unaffected when the minimum lot size of 5750 sf went into effect. It appears, however, that sometime after the house and garage were built, a portion of this lot was sold. The resulting deficiency was not recognized until about 5 years ago. This circumstance is unique within this area. The purpose of the variance is to maintain the existing structures and bring the property into compliance with current regulations. That will include closing an unpermitted curb cut, removing an unpermitted kitchen sink, providing two code‐compliant parking spaces, and reducing excessive impervious cover and building cover, which should serve to restore the property’s compatibility with adjacent properties. The variance request is to allow the City to issue plumbing and building permits so that the owner may move forward with repairs and address previous code violations in an SF‐3 zoning district. The property will not be used for two‐family use and will only be occupied as a single dwelling. 2 E-5/2-PRESENTATION Request from Residential Permitting Site plan on next slide addresses building and impervious coverage issues. A variance for these conditions will not be necessary. 3 E-5/3-PRESENTATION Current Survey and Proposed Site Plan Current Survey Proposed Site Plan 4 E-5/4-PRESENTATION Photos of Structure 5 E-5/5-PRESENTATION
AAC Space Working Group Recommendations Introduction This Animal Advisory Commission Working Group was formed in response to Chief Don Bland’s memo citing a space crisis at Austin Animal Center which may lead to the euthanasia of animals. This workgroup is seeking Council support to enact the below recommendations in response to Austin Animal Center’s space crisis statement. These are initial recommendations we ask be implemented immediately while we continue to analyze data. Additional recommendations may follow. Surgical delays prevent animals from leaving the shelter at earliest opportunity Spay/Neuter surgery appears to be the single greatest source of bottleneck at AAC with up to 65% of available in-shelter dogs not sterilized when they are available for adoption. This means the adopted pet cannot leave immediately; the adopter must go back and forth to the shelter; and ASO staff must interface with the same adopter multiple times. This is highly inefficient and leads to significant length of stay and space issues. AAC reports medical staffing shortages prevent this; however, data (below) conclusively shows that AAC presently has 83% of the maximum veterinarians and 90% of the maximum vet techs it has ever had, despite only taking in 36% of its traditional intake. Simply put, AAC has nearly full maximum medical personnel but one-third its normal intake. The backlog of surgeries is an operational problem, not a staff shortage. The below recommendations do not increase the number of surgeries needed at AAC, but are an operational change to increase efficiency and alleviate space challenges. Recommendation: Rapid medical make-ready ● Within 48 hours of ownership transferring to AAC, the eligible animal (of appropriate age and health) will be sterilized. ● If AAC is behind in sterilizing AAC owned animals, they will be given 48 additional hours to catch-up and bring all eligible AAC-owned animals to sterilized status, or an adopted animal is to be released to the adopter with a spay/neuter voucher. ○ During the additional 48 hours no animal may be euthanized for space. ● If medically unable to be sterilized, and the animal is 8 weeks of age or older, a memo should be entered in Chameleon to explain the delay and give an estimated date of surgery clearance. ● AAC vets should be trained on high volume spay/neuter techniques, if not already, to increase efficiency. ● Current backlogged surgeries should be caught up within one month through the use of available …
