Ramirez, Elaine From: Sent: To: Subject: Julie Malouf Monday, June 14, 2021 12:48 PM Ramirez, Elaine Proposed variance for 1601 Brackenridge St *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Ms. Ramirez, This email serves to confirm our strong opposition to the setback variance application for 1601 Brackenridge St, Austin 78704. This is a double corner property that is exposed to streets on three sides, Brackenridge St., Monroe Ave. and Drake Ave, and while other "surrounding" structures referred to in the application have been granted setback exceptions, corners have different setback rules for a reason. This is a high traffic corner, as Monroe is a main artery to and from the shops and restaurants on South Congress. There is a high volume of kids on bicycles and scooters, many of which pay little attention to traffic laws and their surroundings. The proposed reduction from 25' to 5' will greatly reduce visibility at the intersection of Monroe and Drake and the ability to anticipate issues with oncoming traffic or bicycles, unnecessarily putting people's lives at risk. At approximately 6400 square feet, there is plenty of space for a structure to exist on the lot at 1601 Brackenridge St. without needing to reduce the setback from the street and endanger lives. We respectfully ask you to please decline this proposed variance for the reasons mentioned above. Thank you for your consideration. Regards, Julie Malouf Property owner - 1611 Drake Ave CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source. Please use caution when clicking links or opening attachments.

(a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: with lot size, ADU limited to 966 sq ft, home exist back of the property, it is actually really unique.
