March 3, 2021 Ms. Elaine Ramirez CASE NUMBER C-15-2021-0026 Contact: Elaine Ramirez; elaine.ramirez@austintexas.gov Public Hearing Board of Adjustment; March 8th, 2021 Dear Ms. Ramirez, My name is Salomon Stavchansky and I live in 4000 Sidehill Path, Austin, TX 78731. I am writing to express my disappointment with the City of Austin, and to strongly OBJECT to the application of Matt Williams ((512)600-4324) on behalf of the owner, Mr. Luis Zaragoza ((512)782-8582) concerning a variance from the Land Development Code, Section 25-2-492. 1. I am disappointing with the City of Austin because its representatives assume that everyone has a scanner and a computer in the house to respond to the request made by Ms. Ramirez. It is truly insensitive to assume that everyone, especially elderly residents, have a scanner at home and a computer to deliver a scan of a document and an email stating their opinion concerning this case. The City of Austin should respect and facilitate the ability of its residents to respond in writing or in person (if needed, provide transportation) to the Austin City requests. 2. I strongly object to granting Mr. Matt Williams a variance from the Lan Development Code, Section 25-2-492 for the following reasons: a. The application requires clarification because the requested variance involves a corner lot impacting the streets of Sidehill Path and Stoneywood. It is not clear from the application if the applicant is requesting a variance of both Sidehill Path and Stoneywood or only Sidehill Path or only on Stonewood. The applicant should specify in writing to the City of Austin which street or if both streets will be impacted. b. If the Variance impacts the street of Sidehill Path, then, I strongly object to the application. One of the reasons for my objection involves the impact that the variance will have on my neighbor’s front yard. Fundamentally, my neighbor will lose sun light and all other neighbors withing 500 feet, including myself, will be looking at the sidewall of a future house. Furthermore, the harmony of the neighborhood will change, and more importantly it opens the door to future applications by other neighbors or builders to request similar variances which would destroy the harmony of the neighborhood, which is one of the reasons that attracted the applicant and owner to buy an old house and demolish it to build a new house. In addition, the impervious cover will decrease, potentially …

(a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: the natural and logical front of the lot faces into Sidehill Path, while the official front of the lot as defined in the neighborhood plat faces Stoneywood Dr, the setbacks defined on the neighborhood plat are turned such that the natural front is technically the side of the lot, however the prior single family home on the lot faced Sidehill Path and was laid out as though the front setback ran along Sidehill Path (b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: all other corner lots exhibit the turned setbacks, all other homes on corner lots with turned setbacks face the natural front (official side) of the lot requiring this lot to additionally a number of large, mature trees are located on the lot which prevent moving the structure to align …
