REASONABLE USE • The legal tract located at 1401 E. 3rd St. is 4,852 SF and has had on-site utility service and other improvements since 1926. • The original residence was demolished in 2017 and a new residential permit application was submitted to city of Austin. • Said application was approved by city of Austin and a new single-family residence was constructed in accordance with the approved plans. • The plot plan was accurate and was based on the accurate survey; however, an incorrect version of the survey was used to set the construction forms. HARDSHIP § A survey error based on confusing ROW widths in the adjacent alley created a 2.7’ side yard setback during construction of the SFR & accessory apartment. § This was not known until contractor called for final inspection and certificate of occupancy and preparation of the owner occupying the residence. § Surveyor then surveyed entire block alley in order to understand where error was created. § The intersection of the rear public alley and intersecting Navasota Street have varying widths. These intersecting ROWs allowed multiple opportunities for error. NOT GENERAL TO THE AREA § The new single-family residence has a varying encroachment into the 5’ side yard setback, creating a side yard setback ranging from 2.77’ to 4.0’. § There are no known examples like this in the immediate area, but is probable in the larger east Austin geography. § This small setback encroachment does not impair the intent of the zoning regulations, nor does it have any adverse impact on adjacent or surrounding properties. § All inspections have passed except the building permit’s final inspection. The Certificate of Occupancy can be granted if the variance is approved 1401 E 3 RD ST – PLAT 1401 E 3 RD ST – PLAT

3409 NEAL STREET AUSTIN, TX 78702 Case # C15-2020-0003 May 11, 2020 3409 NEAL STREET – MAP VIEW 3409 NEAL STREET – AERIAL VIEW VARIANCE REQUEST • Requesting a variance from Section 25-2-492 from the lot width requirements to decrease the minimum lot width from 50 feet (required) to 33.59 feet (requested) in order to construct a Single Family Residence in an SF-3-NP zoning district – Neighborhood zoning district. (Govalle Neighborhood Plan) REASONABLE USE • A single family residential use in an SF-3 zoned lot is reasonable. A lot less than 50’ in width is not uncommon and should not prevent the proposed use from occurring in the highest and best manner. HARDSHIP § The original plat date of 1937 contemplated single family residential use on this lot. It is not uncommon for lots in the urban core, especially among those located in east Austin, to have been illegally subdivided at some point via metes and bounds or other methods. The City of Austin Water Utility is requiring a specific water line placement which located said line on the proposed flag lot's pole, creating an addition 15.5' bump out from the 15' pole frontage at the right-of-way. In turn, this creates an approximate 33.59 remainder length for the adjacent, proposed lot shown as lot 3A. If the additional 15.5' was not required by the City of Austin lot 3A would be 49.01' wide, less than one foot shy of the required 50' width outlined in the SF-3 performance standards. Denying this variance request would result in less density in the Urban Core, where density is very much needed. The existing 64' lot width is a function of an illegal subdivision of the 128' wide lot 3 Cherico Subdivision. Approving this variance would allow the subdivision application to be approved and the proposed lots built to their highest and best use.

Section 25-2-899(E) of the Code • A solid fence along a property line may be constructed to a maximum height of eight feet if each owner of property that adjoins a section of the fence that exceeds a height of six feet files a written consent to the construction of the fence with the building official, and: • (1) there is a change in grade of at least two feet within 50 feet of the boundary between adjoining properties; or • (2) a structure, including a telephone junction box, exists that is reasonably likely to enable a child to climb over a six foot fence and gain access to a hazardous situation, including a swimming pool.

Request for Variance 1507 Fairfield Drive The Board of Adjustment May 11, 2020 C15-2019-0063 Item P-2 Overview • Request: To reduce rear setback from 10’ to 0’ • Homeowner: Stephen Rison • Purchased home in 1984 • Zoning: SF-3-NP • Existing structure was rebuilt in 2002 in approximately same footprint as previous structure and built in good-faith based on location and existence of previous structure. • Greatly reduced in size recently to comply with AE requirements. Purpose of Variance • To preserve long-standing former workshop that has provided a unique, “Weird Austin” social interaction space for friends and neighbors for many years. • To preserve role as being part of reunions, wakes, birthdays, and gatherings for nearly 20 years. • To prevent waste of existing structure. Reasonable Use • Best location for structure given lot constraints. • Approval would allow for continued use as special space for reflection and neighborhood fellowship. Hardship • Hardship is unique to the property ▫ Existing structure in approximately same footprint as previous structure of many years, creating long- standing misunderstanding of what could be built. ▫ Trees that existed at time of construction, plus lot size, limited options for placement of structure. ▫ Deck and pool in way of moving structure and so cannot simply lift and move structure. ▫ Type of construction makes relocation prohibitive. • Hardship not general to the area ▫ This type of structure is unique and not common to area. Area Character • Will not alter character of area. • Will help preserve character of neighborhood. • Contributes to the “Keep Austin Weird” culture • Structure part of neighborhood since 2002. • Community support. ▫ Neighbor: “We appreciate [Steve’s] artistic spirit and sense of community. We are in favor of the variance.” Neighborhood Support • “Steve’s property, like himself, is unique, a bit weird, and part of what makes living in Austin wonderful.” • “The building is quite quaint and it would be sad if it had to be removed. It is the inspiration for many conversations and enjoyable evenings. I cannot imagine the benefit if it were removed—it is a part of our neighborhood and our history.” • “I do not consider his property an eyesore or an issue, and in fact know that many people hold it in high regard, and with fond memories. Please do whatever is in your power to allow this wonderful man to …

It is our understanding from discussions with agent Rodney Bennett that the variance is tied to the plans submitted and that additional variances will not be requested, and that the Impervious Cover is just under 45%. Should the Board of Adjustment (BOA) grant this variance we ask that you include in your decision the condition that there will not be additional variance requests and that at some future time, should the structure be demolished or significantly remodeled, that the Floor-to- I-1/18 Area Ratio and Impervious Cover revert to the Land Development Code at that time.

From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Attachments: J in Austin Ramirez, Elaine J OPPOSITION TO - Reference File Name: C-15-2020-0016 (Permit/Case: 2020-000010 BA) BA HEARING for residential 50’w lot at 4013 CLAWSON Road — Variance scheduled for Monday, May 11, 2020 (5:30pm) Saturday, May 09, 2020 5:51:56 PM IMG_1379.PNG *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Ms. Ramirez, Thank you for your VM response to my inquiry as to how/where I may file my “OPPOSITION VOTE” on the above Applicant Chris Palladino’s request for a BOA Variance “...to subdivide ...” existing SF-3 single lot (50’w fronting on Clawson Road 78704) into “...at least two lots” to construct 4- residences (“2-primary and 2-secondary). I own the residential property at 1602 Morgan Lane (78704) that is contiguous to the rear portion of Mr. Chris Palladino’s currently-existing single 50’w lot. Copy images of his Variance request online file, plus the Notice received 05/07/20 are attached hereto: I-2/24 Although I understand Mr. Palladino’s desire to increase his investment value by utilizing as much of his large lot as possible, my opposition primarily rests upon 3-factors: (1) DRAINAGE MITIGATION and IMPERVIOUS/PERVIOUS coverage concerns (during and after proposed construction): The Palladino’s SF-3 lot is located in a land area that drains downhill, flowing water onto adjoining properties, creating potential flooding concerns to existing residential property, particularly during heavy downpours of Spring and Summer. (2) TRAFFIC & LIFE/FIRE SAFETY: The construction of 4-residences on a SF-3 lot fronting CLAWSON Road adds approximately 8-vehicles traveling minimally 2x daily. The traffic on Clawson currently is over-burdened with traffic flow on a narrow 2-Lane road, which originally served residential-urban-gardening and wildlife habitat properties on the same-sized country road, which now carries the traffic burden of over-development from S. Lamar Blvd. and Menchaca (pka Manchaca) Road, with traffic short-cuts through residential streets of Del Cuerto Road to LIGHTSEY Road to CLAWSON ROAD to MORGAN LANE, using each as collective-feeder streets to access East-bound lane of 290W freeway (Ben White Blvd) at Bannister Lane signal-light intersection. Also, the INCREASED Multi-Unit DENSITY CONSTRUCTION (between Grayford Dr. and Southgate Circle) currently feed heavy traffic onto CLAWSON Road near the location of Mr. Palladino’s property and Morgan Lane. Although the collective-streets shortcut is circuitous with few stop signs (and hence creating traffic dangers to residents since no sidewalks exist along this route), the high-traffic use on Clawson Road results from area high-density development and the …
Linda Teague 1502 Fairfield Dr. Austin, TX 78757 October 14, 2019 Board of Adjustment Austin, Texas To whom it may concern, I have been asked to write a letter of character for my neighbor Steve Rison (1507 Fairfield Dr.). I have known Steve since he moved into the neighborhood in 1984. He is, without doubt, an exceptional neighbor and Austinite. While living here for a very short time, he took it upon himself to get Neighborhood Watch. He led the process by contacting residents, ensuring that attendance requirements were met, paying for and installing the sign, and making sure everyone felt safe and secure. He has been a very stable and delightful part of our neighborhood. Knowing Steve all these years, I feel it is not in his nature to try to abuse rules or regulations. His main purpose is to make his home and surroundings inviting. He really is the ambassador for our little area. He introduces himself to people moving in and makes them feel welcome. He offers suggestions and helpful hints to new residents. Steve is a very positive and cheerful person. It is not his purpose to cause problems for anyone or anything. He only wants what is best for everyone and Austin. I respect Steve and cannot say enough nice things about him. He is truly a very caring and lovely person. I hope that all these concerns can be addressed and solved. Steve is a charming sole and respected by many. The building in question is quite quaint and it would be sad if it had to be removed. It is the inspiration for many conversations and enjoyable evenings. I cannot imagine the benefit if it were removed—it is a part of our neighborhood and our history. If you would like to talk to me or have further questions, please feel free to contact me at 512- 453-6884. Cordially, Linda Teague Fellow Austinite P-2/36 To Whom It May Concern: Steve has been our neighbor since we moved to the Wooten in 2013. He has been a part of this neighborhood far longer than most. He was the first person to welcome us here and has always had an open invitation to all the neighbors for his gatherings.
