BOA Variance Package December 28, 2021 Project: 3002 Rivercrest Drive E-1/1-PRESENTATION December 30, 2021 3002 Rivercrest Dr Variance Request Aqua Permits LLC 6504 Betty Cook Dr Austin Texas 78723 512-750-1402 Owner and development team is seeking a variance request to allow a new construction build at 3002 Rivercrest Drive, Austin, Texas 78746. The Lake Austin zoning (25-2-492) requires a 40’ setback from the front lot line and we are requesting a 25’ setback for only a portion of the build (32’ 1 1/4” out of 106.86’). Numerous properties on Rivercrest Drive including adjacent properties 3000 and 3006 Rivercrest Drive have buildings within the 40’ setback limit. The hardship that is faced with this property is with the configuration and critical root zones of protected trees and the shape of the lot due to easements limits the area which a tandem garage can be built. The construction of the tandem garage in this scenario would reduce street parking which would in turn lessen street congestion and help make a safer environment with the busy foot traffic on the narrow street. An iteration of the design based on the neighbors' setbacks have already been denied by the City of Austin. Considerable amount of time and energy has already been spent getting this approved to standards. Granting of this variance would not change the character of the neighborhood. The garage would be on the same side as the property that also has a garage beyond the 40’ setback and there are several occurrences of setback variances throughout the neighborhood. Setbacks are intended to protect privacy, provide for open space, and avoid the aesthetic and safety concerns with overcrowding. If this variance is granted, privacy will be not altered due to the fact that only the garage portion of the build will be included in a closer setback. It won’t effect open space because it will be side by side with the neighboring property’s garage. And finally it help appease the aesthetics of overcrowding by removing cars from the street and hiding them in the garage. We value the time and consideration the BOA puts into keeping Austin a beautiful and comfortable place to live. Thank you for your careful consideration of our request.

Monday, February 7, 2022 City of Austin Board of Adjustments To: For: Case # C15-2022-0011 2715 Long Bow Trail, Austin TX Jonathan Kaplan - Presenter Reference: 2715 Longbow Trail – Variance Request I am writing to formally request the approval of the variance application that has been submitted for your review. Background: The property located at 2715 Longbow Trail is currently an empty single-family lot within the LA Zoning overlay in the Apache Shores Neighborhood. We are proposing to construct a new home that meets all the current codes and setback requirements except for the impervious coverage regulations due to the current grade of the property and the non-conforming regulations set upon this lot. Current Code Regulations: Per 25-2-492 site development regulations the LA zoned lot must be a minimum of 43,560 SF in size (1 acre), and the lot in question is only 8,822.11 sf (.20 acres). In addition, all LA zones lots are governed by 25-2-551 (C)-3 Impervious coverage restrictions based on a slope analysis of the property. This code requires a slope analysis of the current topography of the land and based on the existing conditions of this lot and due to the existing slope of the property, it provides no reasonable development can be constructed on this property. Variance Request: Due to the size of this lot, this is classified as a non-conforming lot that was developed and platted 50+ years before the existence of the LA regulations. The surrounding lots and the remaining area of the Apache Shores POA do not have any COA regulations and are governed under the TNR development guidelines. For these reasons, we are requesting a Variance to change the IC calculations to be the same as a standard SF-2 style lot configuration that this lot will meet the size requirements. If you have any questions on this matter, please contact me at any time.

54 Anthony Street Austin, TX 78702 CASE #C15-2022-0018 E-9/1-PRESENTATION 54 ANTHONY - VARIANCE REQUEST Requesting a variance from City of Austin Land Development Code: 1) Section 25-2-492 (Site Development Regulations) from setback requirements to decrease the minimum front yard setback from 25 feet (required) to 10.3 feet (requested) 2) b) Section 25-2-943 (Substandard Lot) (1) (a) to decrease the minimum Lot Size requirements from 4,000 square feet (required) to 3,380 square fee E-9/2-PRESENTATION CURRENT CONDITIONS (FRONT OF LOT) E-9/3-PRESENTATION CURRENT CONDITIONS (REAR OF LOT) E-9/4-PRESENTATION 54 ANTHONY – KEY FACTORS SUBSTANDARD LOT SIZE OF 3,380 SQUARE FEET BUILDABLE AREA REDUCED BY AE EASEMENT (SIDE) - 1,035 SF BEACH FRONT OVERLAY REDUCES IMPERVIOUS COVER TO 40% PROTECTED PECAN TREES IN THE MIDDLE THE LOT (REAR) LEGAL LOT PER 1995 PLATTING RULE PLATTING EXCEPTION FEW OPTIONS TO BUILD WITHOUT VARIANCE APPROVAL CURRENT STRUCTURES ARE IN SEVERE NEED OF DEMO PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT HAS NEIGHBORHOOD SUPPORT E-9/5-PRESENTATION 54 ANTHONY – FESTIVAL BEACH OVERLAY E-9/6-PRESENTATION 54 ANTHONY – ORIGINAL 1910 PLAT E-9/7-PRESENTATION REASONABLE USE This lot is considered to be a substandard lot / "small lot" per LCD 25-2-943, section (B) (1) (A). Per the survey the entire lot stands at a total of 3,380 SF. This is probably one of the smallest lots existing in Austin. The owner is requesting to build a modest home for his family and only asking for leniency as far as the current SF3 lot size requirement and for a reasonable reduction of 15 feet from the standard front yard setback. In order to build a livable space for a single family, the additional square footage is undoubtably necessary. E-9/8-PRESENTATION HARDSHIP This substandard lot has always been used as a single family residence since the early 1940s. The original structures of a single family 480 SF home and 162 SF garage still exist. This particular lot runs along a side alley on the north side of lot also which has a 15 foot electrical easement. Per current building requirements and the Austin Energy Criteria Manual, this reduces the buildable area by an approximate 1,040 due to the newly adopted requirement by AE. E-9/9-PRESENTATION NOT GENERAL TO THE AREA A majority of the lots in this neighborhood are at or above minimum lot sizes per COA LDC. There are only a few small lots in the Holly Neighborhood plan …
Owner and development team is seeking a variance request to allow for a new construction build on a substandard lot located at 1003 Kinney Ave. Austin, TX 78704. Current lot size is 5,461 SF and minimum allowable site to build on per current SF-3 zoning is 5,750 SF. The hardship is the original full lot size of 10,928 SF when split into halves of 5,461 SF for our lot, and 5,468 for the adjacent ½ lot, does not meet the minimum site area required by current SF-3 Zoning. This hardship would not be able to be overcome without the approval of the BOA in our variance request. Without the variance request this lot would remain vacant as we have confirmed through our research and the option of obtaining a portion of the adjacent city owned alley was rejected by the COA. Original plat and our most current site plat are from 1896. However, our lot was split into two separate tax parcels with no updated plat in 1947. The deeds in our following presentation packet document this transfer of ownership from legal lot to substandard lot status with no plat update. This was also confirmed through the Travis County Tax Accessor’s Office. The Tax Parcel map and deed documents indicate this split. In addition to the conflicting lot history that split the lots without updating the plat, there was construction allowed on the adjacent 1/2 lot last approved by the COA in 2007. This new construction had a previous residence which was demolished with no variance required to build new on the lot. Subsequent building permit was obtained for 2007 and was confirmed with our COA contact Eric Thomas. In seeking our variance, we have researched two avenues in how to be able to build on our lot. One being the recommended avenue of seeking a 1995 plat exemption to apply for legal lot status and therefore not require a variance, and second requesting a variance through the BOA. There was a previous land status determination that was approved on our lot through the 1995 Rule Platting Exception that was granted on February 25, 2019 and included in our Advanced packet. We presented this information to our permit reviewers/supervisors for an F-2/1-PRESENTATION avenue forward to build on our site, however the city of Austin planning department would not allow us to build on our lot with only that as documentation …
