In addition, the information/reports for each listed task are attached to this letter report. The objective of the karst survey was to evaluate the structural development, subgrade extent, and habitat potential for endangered karst invertebrates at approximately 1 geologic feature (F-1). This feature is a subsurface void covered by a storm sewer lid located along the eastern property boundary of Luby’s along the southbound service road for the MoPac Expressway.

From: To: Subject: Date: Mark Walsh Sirwaitis, Sherri Case No. C-14-2021-0100; Rezoning 8176 N MoPac Expressway Monday, August 2, 2021 10:23:08 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Subject: Case Number C14-2020-0100, Re-Zoning Request Contact: Sherri Sirwaitis Public Hearing: August 3, Zoning and Platting Commission Good afternoon Ms. Sirwaitis, I received the Notice of Public Hearing for Rezoning on the above-referenced case. I am not able to attend the hearing but would like to register my objection to this rezoning application. I have lived at 8228 Summer Place Drive for over 30 years and am aware of the traffic patterns and problems surrounding the property at 8176 N. Mopac Expressway SVRD SB. I feel re-zoning this property from LR (Neighborhood Commercial district) to MF-6 (Multifamily Residence (Highest Density)) is inappropriate. I want to thank the Zoning and Platting Commission for soliciting input from residents within the area. I think this is a wise and important step in the evaluation process. In conclusion, I object to the rezoning and want to urge the Zoning and Platting Commission to deny the request. Respectfully yours, Mark Walsh 8228 Summer Place Dr. Austin, Tx, 78759 Daytime telephone: 512-343-1414 CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source. Please use caution when clicking links or opening attachments. If you believe this to be a malicious and/or phishing email, please forward this email to cybersecurity@austintexas.gov. From: To: Subject: Date: Susan Summers Sirwaitis, Sherri Objections to zoning change Monday, August 2, 2021 3:39:20 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Ms. Sirwaitis, I write to record my opposition to the proposed zoning change for the Luby’s property at the Mopac-Steck intersection. I believe that a combination of decreased business for Luby’s and diminished traffic due to the pandemic have caused a false picture of traffic conditions in the area. I have been familiar with this area for 33 years. Ingress and egress at this property have always been extremely problematic. My first point: when Luby’s was a “going” business, people going west on Steck would turn left across eastbound traffic to enter the parking lot. This caused long and frustrating waits for people in the cars behind them. A densely populated apartment house will once again make this a problem. Second, at peak times one can wait through 2 traffic lights in the left lane when headed east on …

Zoning and Platting Commission Q and A Report.pdf original pdf

Page 1 of 1 page

Zoning and Platting Commission Q & A Report B-06 C14-2021-0100 - Luby's Site; District 10 Commissioner Thompson: A quick internet search indicated that this property falls within the habitat map for karst invertebrates within the BCP. We’ve also received some materials suggesting historical presence of karst invertebrates in the Dead Dog cave beneath the property. What are the requirements to survey and mitigate for impacts to listed karst invertebrates within the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve? Staff Response: to authorities for certain projects per LDC 25-8-691 through 25-8-696. The applicant will need to work with appropriate authorities, either in the BCP or Fish and Wildlife, to ensure compliance with the Endangered Species Act. WPD staff will review the project for compliance with Critical Environmental Feature requirements per 25-8-281 when a site plan is submitted. Commissioner Denkler / Applicant response in red: Has the applicant or property owner had any discussions with the city regarding the affordable housing? Because the applicant is not seeking VMU overlay and is not in a regulating plan or downtown, there is no City program tied to rezoning that requires affordable housing and the City cannot independently require affordability. Instead, the applicant has voluntarily offered to provide income-restricted units for 40 years. Is the applicant using any government or private financing to finance or build the 28 units? (Application says they are not proposing Smart Housing.) The applicant has not indicated that there are any government subsidies associated with the redevelopment and instead has indicated that these Affordable Units would be privately financed. Are the 28 units proposed as rental units or for purchase and for how long? How would the city guarantee this, through a contract or public restrictive covenant? The applicant has indicated that the redevelopment will be for rental units and that 10% of the units would remain affordable for 40 years. Because the City cannot require affordability in this case, the applicant has indicated that it will be entering private restrictive covenants with NWACA (neighborhood association) and HomeBase (Habitat affiliate).

https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-07-30-cdc-fda-faked-covid-testing-protocol-by-using-human-cells- mixed-with-common-cold-virus.html# BREAKING: CDC, FDA faked “covid” testing protocol by using human cells mixed with common cold virus fragments… PCR tests are merely detecting the common cold Friday, July 30, 2021 by: Mike Adams (Natural News) In a shocking revelation first reported by Dan Dicks of Press for Truth (Canada) FDA document admits that the CDC and FDA conspired to fabricate a covid-19 testing protocol using human cells combined with common cold virus fragments because they had no physical samples of the SARS-CoV-2 “covid” virus available. , an Without physical reference material to use for calibration and confirmation, the test has zero scientific basis in physical reality. And all the PCR analysis based on this protocol is utterly fraudulent, flagging people as “positive” for covid when they merely possess tiny quantities of RNA fragments from other coronavirus strains circulating in their blood. The FDA document, available from the FDA.gov website, is entitled, “CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel .” The document astonishingly admits: (emphasis ours), Since no quantified virus isolates of the 2019-nCoV were available for CDC use at the time the test was developed and this study conducted, assays designed for detection of the 2019-nCoV RNA were tested with characterized stocks of in vitro transcribed full length RNA (N gene; GenBank accession: MN908947.2) of known titer (RNA copies/µL) spiked into a diluent consisting of a suspension of human A549 cells and viral transport medium (VTM) to mimic clinical specimen. In other words, they had no covid virus from which to develop and calibrate the test, so they mixed up a cocktail of human cells and RNA fragments from a common cold virus, then called it “covid.” The GenBank sequence referred to in this paragraph is simply a digital library definition that’s labeled “covid” but has no supporting reference materials in physical reality either. That’s because no doctor or researcher has isolated “covid” from any infected, symptomatic patient. As a result, no laboratory instruments can be calibrated against actual covid, and the tests simply rely on digital libraries pushed out by the CDC and WHO, using “covid” as the label. The PCR tests are then instructed to look for these genetic sequences obtained from the fabricated digital libraries, meaning the entire scheme is junk science circular logic with no basis in physical reality. Why are there seemingly no certified reference materials for covid available to laboratories for instrument …

https://www.infowars.com/posts/shock-doctor-warns-that-majority-of-vaccinated-patients-could-have- permanent-heart-damage-some-may-die-within-three-years/ Shock: Doctor Warns That Majority Of Vaccinated Patients Could Have Permanent Heart Damage, Some May Die Within Three Years by Adan Salazar - July 22nd 2021, 7:34 am Dr. Charles Hoffe found 62% percent of patients who received COVID mRNA jab test positive for blood clots...'The concern...is those people will probably all develop right-sided heart failure within three years and die because they now have increased vascular resistance through their lungs. A Canadian doctor demands further study into the link between Covid-19 vaccines and blood clots after his research found clots in a majority of vaccinated patients, some of whom he says could be dead within three years. During a Zoom meeting with other medical professionals, Dr. Charles Hoffe explained he’s been running a study on recently vaccinated patients, having them take D- dimer blood tests to determine whether they have blood clots. [WATCH THE 9:21 VIDEO EMBEDDED WITHIN THE LINK] “So far I’ve got 62 percent positive elevated D-dimer, which means that the blood clots are not rare,” Hoffe informed fellow physicians. “That’s what the so-called experts keep telling us: ‘The clots are rare.’ The big ones are rare, but the small ones are clearly happening in the majority of people, 62 percent.” Dr. Hoffe says the clots, which could number in the thousands and are hard to detect due to their microscopic size, are caused by messenger RNA molecules in the vaccine which cause spike proteins to form, which in turn attach to the cell walls of a cell impeding blood flow and damaging blood vessels. So normally the cells that surround your blood vessels have to be very, very smooth to enable good and unimpeded flow of blood, but as soon as you’ve got all these little spike proteins that become part of the cell wall it’s now a rough surface. It’s going to be like a very coarse sandpaper. It’s now what the platelets are going to interpret as a damaged vessel. It’s no longer smooth. It’s rough. So clotting is inevitable because the platelets that come down that vessel are going to hit a rough spot and assume this must be a damaged vessel. This vessel needs to be blocked to stop the bleeding. That’s how our clotting works. So…because of this and because of the nature of this, clots are inevitable, because of these spike proteins in the capillary networks. The damaged …

FDA Accidentally Reveals List of Covid Vaccine Side Effects, Including Myocarditis, Autoimmune Disease & Death by Adan Salazar July 30th 2021, 3:58 pm An FDA slideshow presentation regarding Covid vaccines last year accidentally displayed a long list of possible adverse reactions to the vaccine, including myocarditis, seizures and even death. The slide, showing the FDA’s draft list of “possible adverse event outcomes,” appeared briefly during a public meeting by the US Food and Drug Administration’s Product Advisory Committee on Oct, 22, 2020 reviewing the safety and efficacy of Covid-19 vaccines. While adverse events were generally discussed throughout the meeting, the slide’s contents were not covered in-depth. The meeting came as the FDA was considering granting emergency use authorization to Pfizer and Biontech’s experimental jab. Despite the long list of known possible side effects, the FDA later granted Pfizer emergency use authorization on December 11, 2020, about two months after the meeting. During the same meeting, a similar list of adverse reactions also appeared briefly during deputy director of the Immunization Safety Office at the CDC Tom Shimabukuro’s presentation (at around 2:06:29.

APD and CAP METRO video evidence against David R. Harris (Operator ID# 300230) Look first at Officer Guadarrama’s body cam footage (AXON BODY 3 X6039BFER) from 7:42:56 AM to 7:43:11 AM, corresponding to 13:17 - 13:31 (thirteen minutes, seventeen seconds to thirteen minutes, thirty-one seconds) within the body cam footage. Officer Guadarrama said to bus driver Harris, “He (León) claimed that when he was off the bus you went…”, demonstrating a throat-slashing motion to bus driver Harris. Bus driver Harris responded, verbally telling Officer Guadarrama, “I told him ‘Get on off the bus and just stay off the bus’”, and non-verbally using his right hand/arm to make a bold, strong motion from his chest outward to non-verbally back up what the he was telling Officer Guadarrama. For clarity and the record, Officer Guadarrama then mimics Harris’s motion from his chest outward, to which Harris says “Yeah”, meaning Harris was verbally confirming to Officer Guadarrama that he (Harris) was claiming that he (Harris) used his right hand/arm to make a bold, strong motion from his chest outward only. Officer Guadarrama then re-demonstrates the throat slash gesture to Harris, who says “Nah”, meaning Harris explicitly told Officer Guadarrama that he (Harris) did NOT make a throat-slashing motion. Officer Guadarrama then said “OK”. However, the 7:15:05:00 - 7:15:13:00 (7:15 AM and five seconds to 7:15 AM and thirteen seconds) clip of CAP METRO bus video file LT-2357-05-07 07.09.00 (6694) explicitly contradicts Harris’s verbal and non-verbal statements to Officer Guadarrama. Looking at Camera 3 [Bus2357_Driver_L), driver Harris repeatedly nods his head up and down in response to BOTH times León (standing outside the bus, shown on Camera 2 – BUS2357_Front Door L) loudly told Harris, “You’re a criminal!”, meaning Harris TWICE non-verbally confirmed that he (Harris) was admitting to being a criminal. Harris also simultaneously and repeatedly pointed at his own chest with his right index finger (closest finger to his thumb on his right hand) to further confirm his criminal status/admission. Then, looking directly at León, Harris clearly and explicitly makes the throat-slashing gesture across his own throat, from left to right, using with his right index finger. Then Harris drives away. NOWHERE in CAP METRO bus video file LT-2357-05-07 07.09.00 (6694) do you see Harris making that bold, strong motion from his chest outward that he later claimed to Officer Guadarrama that he (Harris) had made, because Harris NEVER made that gesture. …
